Turtles: The Worst Thing to Be Turned Into
Hi,
So I was sitting in my comparative vertebrate anatomy lab today dissecting a turtle and it dawned on me: being turned into a turtle might be the most physically excruciatingly painful thing ever. For those that don't know, turtle shoulders and hips (and by extension arms and legs) are *INSIDE* the rib cage. Like seriously, reach back and feel your shoulder blade on the outside of your rib cage. Now imagine during a turtle TF your rib cage grows out forming the shell while your shoulder blade (and hip) have to physically move inside your rib cage. No wonder turtle TF's are so rare! (And don't get me wrong, I love me turtle TF's but I haven't seen a good once since Dragon's "Mapped Out".) |

Re: Turtles: The Worst Thing to Be Turned Into
It's probably well up there, lol.
I think comparative anatomy's really cool from a TF standpoint. I always want to give props to the writers and artists who make the effort to get it right. Kind of makes me wonder how an "accurate" invertebrate TF would look (say, a spider for example), because nothing really maps except some really basic structure like the mouth and anus.

Re: Turtles: The Worst Thing to Be Turned Into
It was a story that was on an old TF website run by Dragon. I distinctly remember the web address because this was back in the day before I had private settings and any saved website would be "found" by those I didn't want to find it. Dragon.Furvect.com
The story was titled "Mapped Out" and a witch turns a woman into a turtle. Unfortunately the website has since passed on and is no longer active. Wished I had had the forethought to save the story. |

Aw, now I have to rewrite it because I know turtle anatomy. :P
