What if TMNT took place in São Paulo, Brazil instead of New York?
Welcome to my Brazilian au, I made this character sheet of Jason (Mondo Gecko) as a Tropical House Gecko.
I choose this species 'cause geckos like the leopard or the colorfull ones are illegal to have in Brasil, however, the tropical house gecko is very common in Latin America, especially Brasil
Jason has the same personality as his previous iterations, but he was an albino teenager before his mutation, who went o the state of São Paulo (he's from Rio) to watch a soccer game of his favorite team and ended up mutated
He can stick to the walls, when he gets too scared, his tail falls off

Pairing: Jungkook x TattooArtist!Reader
Genre: Fluff, Smut, BadBoy!AU
Summary: To Jeon Jungkook, you’re just the cutie who sits across from him in art class. He doesn’t have a clue that you’re also the hidden face of his favorite tattoo artist on social media. When the bad boy notices you’ve taken a surprising interest in his ink, he dares you to explore every inch of his body until all of his tattoos are accounted for. Tempted by his irresistible smile and delicate touch, you might even let him in on your little secret.

◆ the one he drew for you ◆
Thank god for midterm week. For an art major like yourself, the usual midterm exams are replaced with art projects that you don’t really need to worry about. This actually allows you to squeeze in more tattoo appointments than usual throughout the week.
While you’re busy in the studio, your super hot smartypants boyfriend, Jeon Jungkook, is busy studying for all of his comp sci exams that you know he’ll ace. The timing is a little too convenient, but you’re just happy you don’t have to make up any excuses for why you’re too busy to hang out with him this week. 
It’s not that you don’t want to spend time with your new boyfriend—in fact, for the past 120 hours, you’ve been yearning for his smile, his touch. You just need to focus and power through all of your appointments now so that you can make time for him this weekend. Because this is the weekend where Jungkook learns that you and his favorite tattoo artist are the same person.
You’ve even been dropping subtle hints throughout the week to see if he can put two and two together.
Y/N🍑 [MON 11:13PM] “so i may or may not be planning a surprise😈”
Jungkook🦆 [11:14PM] “It’s not gonna be a surprise if you give me a heads up, silly”
Y/N🍑 [11:14PM] “i could give you a million hints and youd still be surprised”
Jungkook🦆 [11:14PM] “👁👄👁”
Jungkook🦆 [11:15PM] “What are you up to?”
Y/N🍑 [11:16PM] “nothing!👼”
During class on Tuesday, he bribes you with coffee in exchange for more information about this “surprise.” He knows you can’t say no to caffeine in the morning.
Snatching the hot cup of coffee out of his hand, you offer him a single hint. “Try searching through the lizard tag on Instagram.”
“You’re such a dork for lizards, you know that?” He pulls his phone out and scrolls through the many charming reptiles on social media. He swipes past all the chameleons and leopard geckos until his thumb pauses at the sight of a happy little bearded dragon. “Okay, I’ll admit that one’s really fucking adorable.”
You nod and point out a baby albino alligator. “This one’s cute too, right?”
“Yeah,” Jungkook chuckles. “Wait, is this part of your evil plan to get me to like lizards? Are you trying to start a lizard family with me?”
“No, no, I promise I’m not surprising you with a new lizard friend,” you assure him. As much as you adore lizards, you shudder at the thought of feeding them live insects.
“Then why are we looking at all these little guys?” Based on his bright smile, he’s clearly not against your lizard agenda. 
“Remember when I mentioned the lizard tattoo?” you ask.
“The one you supposedly had an appointment for on the day we went to the duck pond?” Jungkook tilts his head. Then he furrows his brow. “I thought you were just fucking with me. Did you actually get it?”
You shake your head with the smuggest smile. “No, but it’s probably the biggest hint you’re going to get.”
The albino gator you pointed out earlier was the exact photo you used as a reference for that tattoo design—the one you tattooed onto a man’s calf shortly after your first kiss with Jeon Jungkook. You posted the final product on @snowsleeve’s IG just a few days ago, so there’s a good chance the boy has already seen it.
Unfortunately, Jungkook doesn’t quite make the connection.
“Then… Are you planning on getting it?” He taps the back of your hand holding the coffee cup. Even the smallest amount of physical contact between you and him is enough to give you butterflies. “Because a tiny lizard would look cute on you.”
If you weren’t in the middle of class, you’d hop out of your seat and into his lap. Instead, you lean in closer toward his side of the table and settle for something flirty.
“I’m sure you’d look cute on me, too, Jeon.”
Tumblr media
On Wednesday, Jungkook takes a break from studying to work on the next art project assigned by your professor. The two of you claim an empty studio in the art building and get to work.
For the assignment, your professor keeps it simple with few directions. All you need to do is pick an artist with a unique style and replicate that style in a drawing of “whatever your heart desires.” To put in the least amount of effort into this project, you go with the artist you know best—snowsleeve.
When you turn to Jungkook, he’s doing what appears to be intense research.
“Should I go with Murakami or Naoko Takeuchi?” he asks. You could easily see him replicating the work of Murakami, known for his bright and bold pops of color. You haven’t seen Jungkook use much color in his art so far, but you know he’d at least have fun with it.
“You can’t go wrong with Murakami,” you shrug. “I don’t know who Naoko Takeuchi is, though.”
Jungkook holds out his phone with Sailor Moon’s squad gracing the screen. “Oh, she’s one of the lesser known manga artists out there. Guess that’s why you’ve never heard of her.”
“Fucking smartass.” Your glare lasts about three seconds before you wrap your arms around his neck and give him a kiss. You’ve been deprived of that hot sensation against his lips for far too long, and the taste is divine. “But now that you mention it, I’m actually curious to see what you can create in the iconic Sailor Moon style.”
“Okay, that settles it. I know exactly what I’m going to draw.” The boy begins sketching an outline on his canvas with the most enthusiasm you’ve seen from him when it comes to schoolwork. He may not always show it, but Jungkook’s passion for art runs deep. And his desire to create isn’t all that different from your own. You just watch him in awe until you remember you have your own piece to work on.
The second the tip of your pencil hits your canvas, Jungkook looks over, curious about what you might be drawing.
“I’m going with body art that our good friend snowsleeve would design,” you say before he can even ask. You outline a masculine torso, strategically twisted and posed in a way to hide body parts that would otherwise need to be censored. You’re going to cover every inch of that torso in ink that would look so hot on a certain male friend of yours.
“Isn’t your style already pretty similar to hers?” He continues drawing, occasionally glancing back at panels from the Sailor Moon manga. “That wolf you drew on my hand the other day was definitely giving me snowsleeve vibes.”
“This project shouldn’t be too hard then,” you hum. At the very least, Jungkook isn’t oblivious to the similarities between the art you’ve shown him and snowsleeve’s tattoos. “The faster I finish this, the more time I can spend on preparing that surprise for you.”
“Oh? The surprise is something you need to prepare?” The tip of Jungkook’s pencil makes a hard stop against his canvas. You can see the wheels turning in his head. “Are you sure you aren’t setting up a huge lizard terrarium in my apartment?”
You burst out laughing. “I’m sure.”
“The lizard thing is throwing me off,” the boy groans, tossing his head back. The naughty side of you sees this vulnerable state as an invitation to climb on top of him and relieve some of his frustration. But you know Jungkook needs to finish this project today so that he can focus on the rest of his exams for the week. As much as it pains you, you have to control yourself. Thankfully, art is the perfect distraction.
When you’re satisfied with your snowsleeve-inspired piece, you lean back as Jungkook leans over you to check it out.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d think snowsleeve drew this herself.” His eyes wander across the torso, from the playful fox rolling in grass to the dancing forest fairy to a familiar wolf wagging its tail like a good boy. With its long snout, the wolf nudges a carrot toward its bunny friend as a peace offering. Among the rest of the art that fills your page, it’s the wolf and bunny image that really stands out.
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” you say, turning your attention to Jungkook’s Sailor Moon-inspired work in progress. The beautiful heroine has your cozy vibe, your cute fashion sense, your lizards, and your personal superpower—art. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you’re drawing me.”
“Oh, it’s definitely you, Y/N.” His face is all smiles and crinkles as he reaches over to pinch your cheek. 
“No wonder why you were so passionate about it,” you tease. You look at the heroine again. He’s right. It’s definitely you. She radiates warmth and good vibes with her goofy grin and the fun little lizard drawings brought to life by her powers. It seems the boy will never let the lizard thing go, but you love that this is how he sees you. 
Jungkook nods. “I’ve realized art is a lot more enjoyable when I’m creating it with someone else in mind.”
You couldn’t agree more. The pure happiness that reflects in the eyes of your clients after their appointment is what makes it all worth it for you as a tattoo artist. Because you’ve created something personal that they can always look back on and feel some type of way about.
“That’s a good mindset for a future tattoo artist.” Your finger runs along the outline of every tattoo on his hand. He watches patiently and flips his palm up as soon as you’ve traced them all. He’s clearly asking for more of your touch. You quickly draw an imaginary smiley face on his palm before slipping his pen back into his grip. The two of you can save the handholding for this weekend.
Jungkook pouts, giving you a chance to reconsider the physical contact before continuing on with the project. Shortly after, he pokes his head up from the canvas with a sudden request. “By the way, can you give me another hint about that surprise?”
You tap the torso covered in snowsleeve’s art. “This is a pretty big clue.”
“I like my theory of you getting a tattoo,” he says with a thoughtful gaze. “But it couldn’t be that simple, could it?”
Tumblr media
Thursday isn’t as exciting as Wednesday because you don’t have the luxury of seeing your boyfriend in person. Instead, you’re stuck in your studio from sunrise to sundown while Jungkook crams for his final and most important midterm. 
After your last appointment of the night, a mischievous idea comes to mind so you decide to stick around a bit longer. First your sweater comes off, followed by your strappy bralette. You lay the client chair horizontally and hop onto it.
With one hand just barely covering both your nipples and the other holding your phone up, you snap a series of not-so-innocent photos of your bare skin against the black leather. The best pic is one where your expression is more sultry than angelic, and there’s also enough shit in the background to serve as a clue to your whereabouts.
Along with the faux nude, you send Jungkook a few messages. Hopefully, you won’t be too big of a distraction from his studies.
Y/N🍑 [8:56PM] “this is the last hint im giving you, jeon👼”
Jungkook🦆 [8:56PM] “Your boyfriend is very lucky”
Jungkook🦆 [8:56PM] “omw”
Jungkook🦆 [8:58PM] “Wait”
Jungkook🦆 [8:59PM] “Is that a tattoo place?”
Jungkook🦆 [8:59PM] “You’re actually getting one huh”
Jungkook🦆 [9:00PM] “Show me?🥺”
Y/N🍑 [9:01PM] “dont you have an exam to study for?”
Jungkook🦆 [9:02PM] “Y/N please I can’t focus on studying after seeing you like that”
Y/N🍑 [9:05PM] “good luck on your exam!👼💖💖💖”
Thankfully, your naughty photo only costs Jungkook two points on Friday’s exam, and he still manages to score the highest among his peers. To celebrate the end of a busy midterm week, you send him an official invitation to the unofficial Bring Your Boyfriend to Work Day at your studio on Saturday—the same day as his appointment with snowsleeve.
“Is Bring Your Boyfriend To Work Day a real thing?” Jungkook shoots you a skeptical look as the two of you stroll down the streets of the art district. He’s been cautious all morning. Probably due to the big surprise you won’t shut up about.
“We’re making it a real thing,” you say. “Aren’t you curious about the work I do outside of school?”
“I thought you said people just commission you for your art?”
“...Yeah.” Your voice has that but-there’s-more-to-the-story tone.
“Y/N, you’re killing me.” The boy places two hands on your shoulders and gives you a little shake in mild frustration. Eventually, though, his arms fall into a warm embrace around your waist.
On instinct, you spin around to face him. He still has dark circles from all those late nights of studying, but that doesn’t make him any less cute. With a big fat smile, you hook your arm around his and say, “The surprise will be worth it. I promise.”
“I know it will.” Jungkook lets out a dramatic sigh as you drag him along and into your studio. 
It’s a cloudy Saturday morning. The studio is quite dark, but you make the executive decision to keep the cream curtains closed and the lights off for dramatic effect. But despite all the tattoo equipment staring him in the face as soon as he walks in, your boyfriend doesn’t look half as surprised as you’d anticipated. Either he’s known all along, or he’s just pretending to know.
With your arm still around his, you give him a rambling tour of the small space. “Here’s my art wall, this is fancy equipment that no one cares about, that’s the futon for when I need a nap, the back wall has some cute pictures… oh, and I have an espresso station set up in that corner. I’m learning how to make latte art.”
“Latte art makes a little too much sense for an artist who thrives on caffeine.” Jungkook grins. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is your second home. Your boyfriend takes the lead and sits you down in a familiar leather chair. He shamelessly stares at you through the camera lens formed by his thumbs and index fingers. “And this is the infamous chair you took that naughty photo in?”
“Maybe.” You glance up at him with the same inviting eyes from that photo. You rarely sit in the client’s seat, and the shift in power is painfully obvious. In this studio, you’re usually the one in control, the one leaving your mark on someone else’s skin. But now, Jungkook stands over you with nowhere to hide. You’ve never felt so vulnerable in your own studio. And if he wanted to, he could really mess you up.
He presses his weight against the armrests and leans himself over your body. His lips find yours and smother them with an endless wave of fervor and affection. For a long while, you forget the entire point of the outing. Nothing else matters aside from this intimacy between you and the boy you adore. You feel like you’re in a dream, the kind you never want to wake up from.
Jungkook eventually pulls back to let you breathe but holds your gaze with a subtle smirk. “I think it’s almost time for my appointment, Miss Snowsleeve.”
You study his face quietly for just a moment. There’s not a shadow of doubt to be found. His confidence is so fucking attractive.
“How long have you known?” you ask.
“In my mind, it wasn’t confirmed until today, but I’ve been considering the possibility since that night at the pool.” The boy watches as you get up to finally turn the lights on. On your way back around, you gesture for him to follow you to the back. “Did you know you and snowsleeve have the same exact texting style? Exclusively lowercase.”
“That was the dead giveaway for you?” You encourage him to take a look at the collection of photos hanging on the back wall.
“It couldn’t have possibly been the glaring similarities in your art,” Jungkook says with sarcasm.  He examines the polaroids of your favorite tattoos on some of your favorite people—fellow artists like Amber and Zico, celebrities like Park Jimin and Min Yoongi, and regulars who’ve supported you since the beginning. Even Seokjin has a place on your wall with a serpentine ankle tattoo that he rarely shows off outside of your apartment. Your boyfriend points to the pic of you and Amber and adds, “Couldn’t have been your extensive knowledge of local tattoo artists, either.”
“Definitely not,” you play along.
“And the more I thought about it, I realized it wasn’t a coincidence that the snowsleeve stalked my IG and liked one of my posts on that first day of art class.”
“Hey, first of all, I wasn’t IG stalking you.” You were totally IG stalking him, and both of you know it. “And second, I guess your attention to detail isn’t that bad after all.”
“It’s kind of hard not to notice the quirky little things about you.” Jungkook’s eyes pan from you, to the wall of polaroids, and to the art you’ve poured your heart and soul into. “Is there a reason why you choose to keep this all a secret?”
You nod. It was a conscious decision to keep your art detached from your name and face. Sure, it’d become less and less of a secret as your list of clients grew, but you just wanted to prove something to yourself.
“I’ve relied on my art for most of my life. It’s always been my ice breaker, my security blanket, my escape, and it’s become the only thing I’m known for.” 
You think about how in every class and every friend group, you were labeled “the quiet one who was good at art.” Everyone would make small talk with you about art galleries, awards you’ve won for your art, and Pablo freaking Picasso. Your 9th grade math teacher even tasked you with decorating her classroom in geometric art. No one ever talked to you about your favorite reptiles or your love of pineapple pizza. Because what else did anyone know about you aside from art?
“I only know you as the number one lizard enthusiast in the world,” Jungkook jokes. His down-to-earth smile is both contagious and comforting. “I get where you’re coming from, though.”
“It’s not all that different from you and your two Instagram accounts. One is for here,” you say, poking the charming dimple on his cheek. “And the other is for here.” You interlace your fingers with his tattooed ones and hold his drawing hand up. You aren’t the only one who wishes to separate themself from their art—perhaps for opposite reasons.
You want to be seen as more than just your art, just as Jungkook wants to be seen as more than his pretty face.
“Yeah,” he says softly as he threads his free hand through his hair. “By the way, I’m sorry I spoiled the big reveal.”
You shake your head. “In all honesty, I preferred you to figure it out on your own.” In an instant, your grin goes from angelic to devilish. “And besides, I have one more surprise for you.”
“Why are you smiling like that? Should I be scared?” The boy spins around and frantically checks every corner of the studio. He searches high for hidden cameras, low for booby traps, and all around for possible lizard friends. You can’t help but laugh. You’re dating a complete goofball.
“Relax, it’s behind the espresso machine.” You pull him over toward the nutty aroma of roasted coffee beans. With a straight face, you add, “Try to be quiet, or else it’ll lash out at you.”
Jungkook does a good job of staying silent, although his wide-eyed expression speaks volumes. If you had to guess, he’s probably thinking something along the lines of, “I fucking knew it. It’s a fucking snake. This is what I get for dating that adorable reptile-loving dork.”
“I’m just fucking with you, Jeon.” Despite your evil cackle, the boy lets out a sigh of relief. “It’s not something nearly as exciting as a bearded dragon.”
“What is it then?” He tries to peek over your shoulder, but the object in question is already tucked away in your hands behind your back.
You gesture for his hand, and never once has he hesitated to give it to you. After placing the small metal object in his palm, you fold his fingers around it. “Take a look.”
Jungkook unfolds his fingers and finds a shiny key.
“You’re giving me full studio access?” He definitely wasn’t expecting this one.
“You can come in anytime to practice or borrow equipment or—”
“Or make myself a vanilla latte?”
“Exactly.” You plop yourself back into the leather chair and catch the boy by his wrist. He stumbles forward with the momentum and nearly falls on top of you. “You can even do the honors of giving snowsleeve her second tattoo.”
You flex your fingers, drawing attention to the outer edge of your hand. If you want to start small, a hand tattoo sounds appropriate. And besides, you find all of Jungkook’s tiny hand tattoos so dang charming, and that may or may not be what’s inspired you. When clients ask you about it, you can tell them the story.
“I know you’re in high demand, but is there any chance I can get an appointment with you today?” you ask innocently, ignoring the fact that you’re supposed to be having a consultation about Jungkook’s next tattoo. But that can wait a little longer.
“Someone’s eager,” he chuckles at your aggressive puppy eyes. If you could be an emoji, you’d be an angry one with puppy dog eyes and hearts. “But I suppose I can squeeze you in right now since you’re so fucking cute.”
You use this opportunity to give Jungkook a step-by-step tutorial on a proper tattoo setup. You show him your signature plastic wrapping technique, give him a rundown of your favorite machines, and share everything else with him that’s become second nature to you.
“So are we actually doing this?” he asks after a few practice doodles on fake skin with your favorite pen for lining. His lines are smooth, his hand is steady, and the depth looks about right.
“I’m in if you are.” You sit curled up in the leather chair, doing your best to mask the nerves building up inside your chest. The last thing you want is for your own uneasiness to rub off on a boy who has yet to tattoo an actual human being. “We can do something small and simple, just so you can get the feel of digging into real skin.”
“Bet.” Jungkook gives you a confident nod. “Any special requests?”
You point to the side of your hand, just below your pinky. “Something cute that you can freehand? Like a bunny fairy?”
“The biggest surprise of the day is that you don’t want a lizard.” He rolls in on your stool, takes your hand, and draws out exactly what you ask for. And it’s super wholesome. He leans back to get a glimpse of your reaction. “Good?”
“The best.” You can’t take your eyes off the floppy ears, the delicate wings, and the cute little heart nose. The love you feel for the boy and his art is starting to eat away at your nerves. You better keep yourself in check. Otherwise, you might do something too bold or reckless. Because that’s how safe you feel when you’re with Jungkook.
After making the switch from marker to machine, a few butterflies come fluttering back, but you’d like to believe you’ve still got a good poker face. In one hand, he wields the buzzing machine that seems a whole lot more intimidating when you aren’t the one gripping it. He slides his other hand beneath yours, against the plastic-wrapped armrest. Maybe he won’t feel the jitters vibrating through your body.
His gloved hand feels more like a fuzzy blanket keeping you warm on a gloomy rainy day. A boyfriend could say a lot of things to put his partner at ease in this situation. He might say, “It’s okay,” or “Let me know if the pain gets to be too much,” or even, “You don’t have to force yourself. I’d love you with or without this tattoo.”
Jungkook isn’t that boyfriend, though. He doesn’t need to speak into existence what you already know. He has his own way of doing things.
“Do you remember that first day in art class? When I drew that other bunny for you?” He holds your gaze for a moment. The buzzing fades into the background, and you feel the muscles in your hand loosening up. “I held your hand just like this.”
Of course you remember. No boy has ever made you feel so comforted by a single touch. That day, you were so happy. And for the first time in a while, you felt excited for the days to come. It marked the beginning of something precious with no end in sight.
You nod, prompting him to continue on with his storytime. He gives you one last squeeze before retracting his hand so that his canvas is resting on a flat surface.
“I still think about that day a lot, you know.” His voice is soft, yet everything comes out so clear above the humming. How can a boy like him be so sweet? It still blows your mind that you had this bad boy image of him when he first entered the classroom that day. 
“Me too.” Your cheeks are starting to hurt from how much you’re smiling. “Little did I know, that bad boy with the tattoos would turn out to be the biggest dork and sweetheart ever.”
“FYI, you’re the only person who’s allowed to call me a sweetheart.” The face he makes at you is a mix of a pout and him trying not to smile. Whatever it is, it serves as the perfect distraction for the needle hovering above your hand.
The first needle contact is more of a graze against your skin. He glances up for your reaction. You mouth, “A little deeper,” and he makes the adjustment several times. You don’t mind that he’s slowly easing both of you into it. He could spend a week chipping away at this simple tattoo, and you’d still love him.
When he finds the sweet spot in your skin, you stay quiet to let him focus. You want to praise him for how crisp and clean his lines are, and how pretty the bunny is turning out, but you bite your tongue and save it for the end.
“Anything else I should add in?” Once he's gone over every line, he sets the machine down and lets you admire the art he’s left on you. It’s tiny, adorable, and so so special to you. You don’t need anything else.
“It’s perfect.” You hop out of the seat and stretch, admiring your beautiful new ink in the studio lights. You’re glowing. From the stool, Jungkook lets out a healthy sigh, both exhausted and relieved to know his first attempt went as well as it did. You lean over, lift his chin, and steal a kiss. “Thank you, Jungkook,” you whisper into his mouth.
He kisses you again and licks his lips.
“So, are we still having my consultation?” His eyes wander across your body, from the tattoo he gave you to wherever that other tattoo might be hiding. Something tells you he wouldn’t be against rescheduling the consultation. “If not, you can come over and play with the cat.”

2024 Pairings and Plans!
I need to get myself organized for the upcoming season so I thought I'd do a little rambling post about what my goals are for this season and touch on the next as well so y'all can know a bit of what's to come!
2024 Season Pairing Plans Note: These are "planned" pairings and do not always work out.
Western Hognose Pairing 1 - Howlite X Shale (Snow X Axanthic het Snow) - plan on holding back 1x female snow
Western Hognose Pairing 2 - Citrine X Splendid (Extreme Red Albinoconda X Albinoconda) -
Northern Mexican Pinesnake Pairing 1 - Snapdragon X Dahlia
Northern Mexican Pinesnake POTENTIAL Pairing 2 - Snapdragon X Marigold
I am not going to be pairing / producing any leopard geckos in 2024!
Basic 2025 Plans:
2x leopard gecko pairings (Red Stripe RADAR X Blood RADAR & Gem Lav Jungle Bold Bandit X Lav Jungle Bold)
1x hognose pairing (Extreme Red / Purple Line Arctic (?) Super Anaconda het Albino ph Sable X Extreme Red Arctic ph Albino)
1x Pseudelaphe flavirufa pairing (Wildtype X Anery)
1x Pituophis vertebralis pairing
1x Pituophis deppei jani pairing (potential, only if I don't breed both girls this season- I don't want to breed them more than 2 times back to back without a recovery season)
General thoughts and addition plans below the cut.
General thoughts: The 2024 season will be my last year pairing / attempting to pair Shale and Splendid, both ladies will be retired from breeding regardless of the results! They're going to be 8 years old in 2024, and Garnet taught me 9-10 is typically the age female hognoses start to slow down in terms of both egg production and ease of laying. I have not started looking for my "Generation 2" hognose breeders but it's going to become a priority starting now! I'd still like to maintain my relatively small group of breeders, but maybe expand a little on the morphs I'm working with. As for other planned additions, I am still looking for the PERFECT leopard geckos (2-3 total) to add to my Red Stripe RADAR group and my Lavender Bold group.. but I am too picky and haven't added any at all this year lol. I'm always looking tho. I am going to holdback either a Lavender / Firebold cross or a Gem Snow Lav / Firebold cross that I produced in 2023 but I am going to keep all of them back from that pairing until I'm solid on which one is going to fit my plans best. I have the hardest time deciding what direction I want to go with my lavender firebold project. I would also like to add a male northern mexican pinesnake (unrelated to my current group) in 2024. If any other additions are made they will be species I already keep and just want to diversify my bloodlines / groups a bit. The only potential "new" species that will be added will be whatever I finally decide to redo my empty 125g aquarium for. I'm leaning toward like. an amphibian mansion currently. I was originally going to do turtles but I think I'd like to do something a little different and focus more on building something a bit outside of my comfort zone. More on that later I guess.

I dress kinda alternative in blacks and am always wearing a bunch of jewelry. (Mostly ones I make). I am also always wearing boots (Often platform boots).
I wear tight pants both beacause they look good and I have sensory issues. I can't stand loose ones and mostly wear yoga pants.
Other:
I love to sew, crochet, make jewelry, draw etc... Basically anything where I get to create something. I love seeing an idea come to life. I'm constantly making things and I like to fidget with anything I get my hands on (meaning I have a habit of breaking stuff) (oops).
I constantly crave affection (but will never admit to that) I really love cuddling, and am definitely touch starved but anyone who knows that has figured it out themselves. Because for some reason my brain thinks I don't deserve any of it.
I am way too nice to everyone, even at my own expense and tend to Bury my emotions when I am in pain. I have Depression and some anxiety and tend to worry about if anyone I know actually likes me while simultaneously thinking that I don't deserve anyone to love me.
I am shy and awkward as heck. But I will talk your ear off if you get to know me.
I love all animals and have a particular fondness for the odd ones. Reptiles and fish are awesome but I love everything including worms that I will rescue from the sidewalk.
I own some fish and shrimp that I love. My plecos and my gecko are like my babies. Especially my boy Groot. He's an albino bristnose pleco and is very ugly, but I love him so much. My entire phone is photos of him and my leopard gecko Leo. (Resisting the urge to attach one) (nevermind) (I'm attaching photos of him, Leo, and my other pleco- Carlos)

I know a lot of random facts about animals and can rant for hours about my interests. Very passionate about animals and their care. Love all mine even if I might play favorites.
I'm also not super Great at reading social situations. Expecially flirting. I am so oblivious and unless someone is incredibly direct I won't notice it or think it's a joke.
I will gift people I like things I make. I make a lot of plushies in particular that I create. I love to see people happy
Johnny "Soap" Mactavish (a/n: ur lil pets are absolutely adorable!! i literally cannot get over how cute they are, thank you so much for including pictures of them)
How you met: The first time you and Johnny met was definitely a story that entertained all your friends. It all started when you were at the pet store buying crickets and mealworms for your geckos. As you inspected the container of dried insects, someone came up next to you. You first noticed his basket was full of a 5lb bag of dog food that he effortlessly held in one hand. The next was his smile that lit up is face as he looked at you. "I think a restaurant would be a better place to find food don't you think," he asked you and you were a little confused. "But these aren't for me, they're for my geckos," you corrected and his smile faltered a bit. "I uh was just saying maybe I could take you to a nice restaurant some time," he sheepishly said and rubbed the back of his neck as his face grew pink. You had a habit of being terrible at reading social situations and were blushing profusely. "OH, I'm sorry I'm really bad at telling when people are flirting with me," you corrected. "Don't worry, I'm Johnny by the way," he said as he shook your hand, "how about I give you my number and you can call me when you're free? It looks like you have a little army to feed." He wasn't wrong, you were rushing home to feed your babies and this was just meant to be a pit stop. He read out his number as you typed in his number on your phone. "And don't worry if you don't want to, I won't take it to heart," he joked and went to go pay for his things. You stared at your phone for a while as you looked at his contact name "Johnny AKA pick-up line guy."
A peek into your relationship: "Open it," you said excitingly as you pushed the box into Johnny's hands. You had been working on a gift for him for ages and were happy to finish it just as winter was approaching. You had tried your best to keep it a secret and delayed the project as Johnny would always find a way next to you. "Alright, alright, chill little lass," he said as he pulled apart the layers of gift wrap and the lid to a box. You watched intently as he grabbed the two items which sat on a pillow of tissue paper. "You've really outdone yourself, bonnie," he said as he pulled out a crochet hat and scarf. "Heard you can get cold when patrolling and I thought it would keep you warm," you smiled as he inspected the stitches. He eventually saw that you had sewn a little patch with a dog that looked similar to his. "Yer attention to detail is something else," he said as he tried on the set for you. You quickly grabbed your phone as you snapped a picture of him. "That one's a keeper," you said as you laid your head in his lap. He took this time to pepper your face with kisses as you laughed at his stubble brushing your face.
Months later when he was on deployment, you got a message from Ghost that showed the scenery of a snowy cliff and in the center of photo was Johnny bundled up with his scarf and hat.

Oh dude! You care for noodles (sneks)?!! Please let me hear about them and your other herps!
Sure thing!
I have two hognose snakes. Lucifer (Lulu) and Hades, respectfully. Lucifer is an albino, and Hades is allegedly a regular morph, although I am confident he has some conda genes.
Apep is my Kenyan (or Egyptian) sand boa. He's just a worm. Seriously. Radiates worm energy all the time.
Crowley is my mexican black king snake. He's twice the length of my arm and is super friendly. Probably one of the most polite snakes I've ever had experience with next to Lucifer (for a snake, Lulu is very affectionate...don't go near him when it's mating season). Crowley has also been an ambassador animal when I've worked at schools. He's great with kiddos. Has a preference for girl folk (he'll wrap himself up in a little ball or around their arm, boy folk he just stares and lets them pet him).
...I also have lizards and a frog!
I have 3 leopard geckos. Gwee, Vito, and Treeko. Vito is a male and he's an albino (his colors are like pink lemonade). Gwee is a female and she's turning 14 this year (my first reptile btw! she's the sweetest little old lady), and Treeko is one of the two hatchlings that came from Gwee and Vito's clutch of eggs. Her brother Newt belongs to one of my good friends who has a reptile collection.
I have a bearded dragon named Remmy. He's a strong independent lizard and he needs no man, but he's cool with people petting him.
Hammond (Hammy) is my frilled neck lizard (my baby dilophosaurus haha). Named after John Hammond from Jurassic Park. He's super friendly. Poor fella is getting over a respiratory infection because we lost power for a few days, and with it being winter, he got sick. He's on the mend though! (and thank shit spring is around the corner).
Jormungandr (Jormmy) he's my glass lizard (legless). Jormmy was wild caught, and one of my peeps that worked at this pet shop didn't think it was right. Plus he was sitting there in his tank for god knows how long because not a lot of people in my area know how to take care of unique lizards, so bud pulled some strings and I took Jormmy home as a rescue. I've had him for five years. He's still aggressive toward people (can't blame him) but he's gotten better around me.
And then there's Winston, my dumpy tree frog. He's a polite gentleman. Loves chilling on my hand.
I have a lot of kids...😂
Each of them has their own unique persona and I appreciate and love them for that. I can't imagine not having reptiles in some capacity in my life.

Batkids’ Exotic Pets
BTW, these are merely headcanons. You shouldn't be keeping endangered/exotic animals as pets. Even if you do, release them into their proper home or lend them to sanctuaries eventually.
Dick: A white Chinchilla named Gray. Gray was found on the streets of Blüdhaven, near Dick's apartment. Gray was hungry and took a slice of pizza from Dick's apartment. Dick was too tired at the time to chase him so he let him be. Gray came back eventually and after so many revisits from him, Dick took him in. He named him Gray before giving him a bath, where he found out Gray was actually white.
Jason: An Axolotl named Penny. “Oh, like the coin?” No, like Pennywise, the Clown. Why? Cuz Penny is white with red external gills. Another reason is cuz he first found her near the sewers. And in the aquarium he made for her, Penny almost always hides in the cave and you can only see her head. The first time the family saw it, Dick fainted, Tim swore to never visit again and Damian wanted to cuddle her but couldn’t since she was still a baby and aquatic.
Tim: A Fennec Fox named Latte. He got her after a business field trip, regarding animal sanctuaries. Bruce noticed him eyeing her and Latte was touchy with Tim. He saw how close those two got and decided to get Latte for him. Needless to say, Tim was very happy but didn’t show it. 
Duke: A Hyacinth Macaw named Sherlock. He found him on a case of illegal trafficking. Sherlock was an escapee from the trafficking ring and found Duke as Signal when he was investigating the place. At first, Duke thought it was nothing but when Damian informed him that Hyacinth Macaws are endangered and must’ve escaped the ring, Sherlock led the lot of them to where he escaped from. He got treatment before he went into Duke’s care, of course.
Barbara: A Leopard Gecko named Spot. Barbara wanted a pet but due to her disability, there's only so much she can do for the little guy. So she asked the fam to recommend her a pet where she can take care of properly. All good suggestions but Damian suggested she get a leopard gecko since it was a good starter pet. Spot is very active, like, he walks (?) and swims fast. It's like giving a lizard an upper.
Steph: Two Purple Chested Hummingbirds. One is named Lilac and the other is named Orchid. Orchid is green with an actual purple chest but Lilac only has green wings and purple body. She doesn't exactly "keep" them so to speak. But they are residents in the Manor Garden bird houses that Damian made. Whenever she visits, she feeds them nectar.
Cass: Sugar Gliders. Two of them. She named them Vaslav and Anna, after ballet dancers. Vaslav is brown, Anna is white. Cass also took them from a different illegal trafficker. Bruce tried to tell her that they needed to get medical attention. Cass agreed and let them get medical help before officially adopting them.
Damian: ...do I have to include him in this? He has a pet dragon named Wiggles, a demon bat named Goliath and I have no doubt he has an entire zoo back at Nanda Parbat being taken care of by Talia.
But if I have to, he has an Albino Python named Vladimir. He found it while he was gardening and Vlad crawled up to him. He wasn't scared, of course but he carefully picked it up and showed it to Bruce, telling him he wants to keep it. Bruce told him he has enough animals. Damian argued that none of them are exotic and his siblings have. It went on until eventually gave in.

@snuffgurll THANK you I have a horse fixation as well, i collect Breyers too but most of them are boxed up for when I move
So I’ve got
5 year old female “normal” morph corn snake named Mango 🥭
3 year old male “red factor snow” morph corn snake named Melon 🍉
9-10 month old male “caramel” morph corn snake named Slater 🌪️
2 year old unknown (suspect male) “butter” morph corn snake named Apricot 🧈
8-9 month old male “anery stripe” morph Kenyan sand boa named Dirge 🤘🏻
6 month old unknown (suspect female) “tessera amel” morph corn snake named Peaches 🍑
1 and a half year old unknown (suspect female) albino Brooks king snake named Banana 🍌
3 year old male “normal” morph Kenyan sand boa, not yet named!
Male leopard gecko who I am unsure of his morph, he is patternless and completely yellow but not albino. His name is Lemon 🍋
And a fat old feeder mouse named Doily that I kept as a pet since she was a wee lass, she just hit a year and a half and ima cry when she goes
Then I have the two 10 gallons out here, two 3 gallons and a 5 gallon in my kitchen/living room
One 10 gallon is for guppies and the pea puffer, one 10 gallon is for platys and a dwarf gourami and a bnp.. I am setting up a 6 gallon suddenly because one of the bettas from a 10 gallon decided he no longer wants friends.. but the 5 gallon is currently my only shrimp tank, and there’s a betta in each of the 3 gallons (not ideal, I know, it’s temporary until I move and set up their bigger tanks)
