Natania Barron

Good morning. Here is a 14th century snail who’s super ready to take on whatever challenges come their way.

“En garde!”

@natania Now it's *snails*?!!! But what I want to know... who is Snailee fighting? A birb? A shoe? What does Snailee need with a sword and shield? LOL!

@ajsuper It's a mystery. Usually, in the manuscripts, it's knights fighting snails--but in this case it's a snail fighting!

@natania good morning! First say on #mastodon and it's a lot of getting used to. I have work at noon and I just want to play around on this app all day but I can't. Anyways, I hope you have a nice day!! Remember that life is a journey. We have to keep going even if we do not want to.

@natania @iris_tsui The slugs that live under my rock with me are excitedly waving their eyestalks at the prospect of heroic tales from the era of Pax Gastropoda.

@natania Looks like a #SeaPangolin. Those bad boys have their own armour. https://www.qub.ac.uk/Research/feature/endangered-scaly-foot-snail/

@natania good morning! Hope you are doing okay with all the melting down. Be kind to yourself, hope you don't get shaken up too hard  that is definitely the world's most fabulous snail! Does he carry a shield because he moonlights as a garden slug, do you think?

@secretsloth Very likely!
