Pusheen is a female cartoon cat who is the subject of codmic strips and sticker sets on Facebook. Pusheen was created in 2010 by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for a comic strip on their website, Everyday Cute.

On the official Pusheen website Pusheen is described as being a female domestic shorthair which is grey and tabby. The original comic strip series included characters modeled after Belton, Duff, their dog named Care, and Pusheen, a chubby grey tabby cat based on Belton's cat that now lives with her parents in Oregon. Pusheen's name stems from the word puisín, which means kitten in Irish. Pusheen is sometimes seen with her sister, Stormy. Occasionally Pusheen and Stormy are drawn in different themes, such as Pusheenasarus Rex, where Pusheen is a dinosaur and Stormy is in a dinosaur egg.

Pusheen has become well known for appearing in Sticker sets on Facebook, which are images that can be attached to personal messages or comments. The feature, including a set of Pusheen stickers, was introduced to iOS in April 2013, and added to the main website in July of the same year. In an article for PC Magazine on emoji and unicode, Sascha Segan referred to Pusheen as Facebook's "proprietary emoji", being used as a form of Vendor lock-in.

In April 2017, the Pusheen Corporation acquired office space in the Park Ridge suburb of Chicago. The offices are used as a workspace for artists and photographers.

Pusheen is an example of the popularity of Cat's on the internet. An exhibition at the New York City Museum of the moving image examined the phenomenon, highlighting Pusheen alongside other celebrity cats such as Grumpy cat and Oil Bub. The Facebook page for Pusheen has over 9.4 million fans as of July 2017. The brand has expanded with merchandise including an app. Pusheen has expanded and moved beyond just Facebook and now takes part in multiple social media platforms such as: Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter. This cartoon cat also has many fan pages within the platforms and blogs dedicated to celebrating the comic. Its popularity has even allowed the Pusheen Corp to create an app that is an expansion of their sticker collection that started on Facebook. Within each social media account that is officially owned by the creators of Pusheen the cat has gained over a million followers and counting. Due to this rise in popularity the company has started releasing GIFs on their website several times a month.

The Pusheen corporation started selling Pusheen merchandise after the popularity of the cat took off in July 2010. The first Pusheen merchandising was sold on the Everyday Cute website as a charm keychain, and necklace. From there the Merchandising expanded and now Pusheen Corp have teamed up with many brands to create and sell merchandise in stores such as Barnes & Noble, Hot Topic, and Petco. They have even expanded their merchandising to the website Hey Chickadee with merchandise collections dedicated to the cartoon cat, which range from plush toys by manufacturer Gund, clothing, accessories, knick-knacks, and much more. They even have a quarterly subscription box (which is a popular trend within online shopping) that is filled with Pusheen Products.

Soooo... We got a large number of votes this week! This means 7 extra chapters this coming week! Yay!  As of now, as I am writing this, the vote count is 3062!  I want to thank everyone who is voting for this novel and supporting it. It truly means a lot to me as a writer to know people are enjoying my works. As some of you may know, I have a lot of titles, but because of Kana's popularity, the ones that were being written are on hold for the time being until Kana is finished.  
Now for the good stuff. Once Kana reaches the top 25  for 2 weeks. I will be going three chapters a day every day as long as Kana is in the top 25. From there, I will also adjust voting goals accordingly. I was thinking of doing it by rank at that time and something else along with extra chapters. What that is yet, I am not sure. Maybe I will get a short comic strip done or some artwork of the characters made up. Feel free to give me some ideas. I am always open to them.
Anyway, once again, thank you all for your support! It means a lot to me!
Invayne  


Orphaned at the mere age of seven and thrown out on the streets with no place to go. Kana lived the life of a street rat. She did what she could to survive from digging through the trash and stealing what she could. But even after almost ten years of surviving, her life still ended short. 

Holding her head feeling slightly dizzy, her lips slowly curled up into a sinister-looking smile as she let out a laugh. "Maybe someone was listening to me after all! I do not know which god heard my last dying wish, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I, Nagano Kana, owe you a debt of gratitude."

In a new world, reborn as a dragon, Kana will begin her new journey. She will experience many things along her path as she struggles to grow stronger to evolve and survive in this new world.


"That's another one!" Kana spun around in a circle, put her left paw on her hip, and gave a V sign with her right claws while winking… It was a strange pose indeed.

"Charlie, have you gone sightseeing around the city yet?"

"Nope, I haven't had much time to…"

"Truly pitiful. It's your first time in the City of Tourism yet you haven't toured at all."

He pat my shoulder,

"Let's go."

"...Where are we going?"

"Where else? To the strip—"

My face turned dark and I punched his shoulder.

"Ack, I'm obviously joking!!"

He massaged his shoulder as I glared at him. 

"I am still underage."

"God damn, I forgot you're still underage. You're like a baby. So young. Too young, come here to uncle."

What's with this pedophile?

I raised my fist threateningly, with a smile, "You're a different person in real life."

He laughed, "I actually am how I am while streaming, I just don't know why I'm feeling active like this right now."

Eh? Did he take the wrong medicine today? Had too much coffee?

I stared at him as he explained his current behavior that he has never displayed before.

…

…

…

"So are we heading to the strip cl—"

He reminded me of his self named great idea.

"...Rykun."

My face blackened as I stared at him, thinking his mental age and physical age do not correlate at all.

He laughed nervously as I raised my fist again,

"Charlie charlie!" He waved his hands frantically, "I'm joking man! I've never even been to a strip club before."

"You think I care if you've been to one?" 

He laughed, "Anyways, there's actually a comic convention right now in Petra. Want to go? I heard there will be some pretty cool events and some actors for movies will be there."

Oh, what timing.

"...Rykun, I don't read comics."

"Ah, no problem, I don't either. Have you watched the movies, though?"

"Nope."

I can't remember which comics have passed through. I do remember it was either in between DC or Marvel.

He looked at me very offended.

"I forgot how uncultured you are. Let's go, then."

He called up a cab and in no time we were heading off towards the comic con.

In the car, he took a picture of us and posted it on his Twitter with the caption: We're excited to go to ComicCon!

"Really? We're excited?"

I stared seriously at the picture: my emotionless face staring at the camera while Rykun had a very happy smile in his face.

He laughed and pat my shoulder.

"Are you trying to get a fan meet-up in the comic con?"

He showed his pearly whites, "Yes. Let's meet some fans!"

…

With the distance closing to the convention hub, I saw exactly what I imagined. People dressed in costumes, very interesting costumes, hanging out with each other, and waiting for the event to start.

My heart began beating in anticipation as I noticed the rivers of people in the huge hall.

Hah, I underestimated the scale of this event. At first, I was hesitant to come here but now I just know that it's an easy achievement points farm.

I made a mental note to gift Rykun something for the grand service he's done to me.

Rykun was holding his vlogging stick and slapped my hand excitedly with the other hand while staring somewhere off over the ocean of people,

"Look, look! It's the actor for the freakin' Spiderman!"

I nodded my head. Marvel crossed over, then. Seeing as the comics for Marvel had a wide range, I could probably take a job up for acting in that side of the movies in the future.

He slapped my hand again, "Dude have you played Mortal Kombat?"

"I've heard of it."

He pointed towards a specific point, "I didn't freaking know Mortal Kombat was part of Comic-con!"

I nodded with raised eyebrows at the costumes all around us. They were very well done.

As we walked slowly and I looked very curiously at everyone, I heard a very familiar sound.

"Snap!"

"Click!"

I turned my eyes towards the source and saw people fanatically staring at us.

"So… you wanted a fan-meet?"

I stared at Rykun.

He took back the vlogging stick and turned off the recording to not awkwardly speak to people while holding a pole.

He presented a wide smile and waved at the people as they enthusiastically waved at us and came over.

"Uh, hello." They all presented themselves very shakily.

Underneath Rykun's confident exterior, I noticed his legs tremble very slightly so.

He's a shy person.

"Hey, how are you guys?"

I asked and saw Rykun's nervousness deflate. It's easier for him to stream to thousands of people worldwide, but seeing them in real life makes him very nervous.

It's very normal. All of a sudden, his fans from his virtual world suddenly are getting to know the real and physical him. He is wanting to make sure he doesn't break the image they have of him.

"We're good thank you very much." They said very shakily.

Seeing how nervous they were, I applied Blake's teachings and began leading the conversation, letting the picture flow.

Soon enough, people noticed our presence and more began to swarm over to us.

I greeted them all with a charming smile. My performance today determines my achievement points.

"I didn't know you liked Comics Charlie!"

People at the convention were startled to see me. Rykun answered for me,

"He actually hasn't watched any movies or read any of the comics. I had to drag him here, look at him. So uncultured."

As he spoke, he gained more and more confidence and even patted my shoulder to annoy me.

"Rykun," I turned to stare at him in mock wrath, "You'll be the first person I kill every time I'm an impostor."

The crowd laughed with excited smiles understanding the reference and we began taking pictures with them.

"AMONG US!"

Rykun yelled like a crackhead and stared at people coming in with Among Us costumes. I thought this was a Comic Convention and not halloween?

Putting up an act, I grabbed his arm and shushed him.

"Rykun, don't disturb the others."

He went along with my joke and acted as my little brother.

"But Charlie…"

"No buts or I'll tell Yvette."

Perhaps I'll have to record myself every time I do something like this just to put in a highlight vlog video. 

All just for Achievement points...

…

After taking selfies for a while, the organizers finally appeared and thanked us all for coming here. 

Some people thought I'd be a presenter or something; a flattering thought, but I acted like just another person hanging out at the convention.

I looked around and nodded appreciatively at the great costumes people had. Time and effort were not lacking whatsoever.

Maybe one day I'll be an actor for some of the characters whom people are wearing costumes of.

Seeing as there's already an actor for Spiderman, maybe I could be…

Definitely not Thor… and Iron Man does not suit me…

Haha, get it? Suit me. Iron Man. Suit. Haha. I rubbed my feet against the slippery floor, knowing how unfunny the joke was.

Still… Seeing as how comic movies are starting to quickly gain popularity, I have to get acting experience quickly. I wouldn't want to be rejected or not even given a chance for not being in the acting industry. 

Hopefully, I do not need to be a white American to fit the appearances of some of the major characters.

I shook my head out of my thoughts and started walking around looking at the organized and decorated building with great interest. 

Along the way, I bumped into a few fans every so often while I explored the place.

Exploring isn't good enough though. I need to somehow make sure I'll be able to have a connection to future movies.

I walked through mobs of people towards where I had seen the Spiderman stand earlier.

He was still there, signing autographs, taking pictures, and acting the hyperactive and funny character out.

Queueing up in line, I waited patiently with a smile as I waited to greet the red and blue superhero.

Sooner than later, I was finally at the front of the line.

"Heyy dude! What's your name?"

What a pleasant guy.

I waved with a smile and introduced myself to the superhero.

"Could we take a picture?"

He smiled and I walked next to him to take the selfie. Not bothering to take a good picture, I took it immediately and nodded at him in good humor.

"So how is it being a superhero?"

If he loves acting then he'll be excited to play his role out. If he doesn't then it'll be hard for me to make any sort of connection.

The guy's previous dull look brightened. I guess he really likes acting.

Today is my lucky day.

"Hah, dude. I get to save people and be awesome while at it!" He rubbed his chin a little and then continued, "But it's also because I believe that with great power comes great responsibility!" He finished grandiosely albeit with projected teenage immaturity.

I smiled and clapped lightly at his remark.

"Am I really speaking to the real Spiderman, th—?"

Before I could finish, he interrupted excitedly.

"Of course I'm the real Spiderman! I'm Peter P...Puh Parkinsons... Bah, don't you see it? The suit? The…"

And he kept blabbering and blabbering.

Alright, I'm not sure if I want to speak to this guy anymore.

I stared at him with a sweatdrop as he got way too into character and was possessed by the spirit of Peter Parker.

He noticed my weird stare and he coughed lightly.

"So uh… yeah. You want to be a superhero too?"

He coughed into his elbow again trying to get rid of his shameful disposition.

Pretending to have seen nothing, I presented a bright expression.

"Yes, yes," I went closer and planted my hands on his shoulders.

He puffed his chest proudly and patted my shoulder.

"Then you'll be a great superhero!"

I stepped away and our improvised tacit act came to an end.

He wiped his eyebrow with a bright look in his eyes. Probably the most fun he's had today, considering everything he's been doing is signing autographs and taking pictures.

"So Charlie, eh?"

"That is me, Spider."

He grinned, "You like acting?"

Of course, he's in a good mood now.

"Huu— Yeah, I enjoy acting."

Ever since Charlotte confessed that she really, really enjoyed acting, I'd taken a duty to help her practice her lines.

I'd gotten a little more practicality with Acting.

Besides, I more or less have to act while Modeling and Streaming.

"If you put some work into it, you'd get pretty good. Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you actually got into one of the future movies with us?"

He laughed and encouraged me, in his thoughts he probably thought there was a really slim chance of me getting there. Can't blame him though, he thinks I'm just another dude without the backing of a transnational agency.

"Future movies?" I inquired.

With a red face, he blocked his mouth and began cursing.

"No, nothing. Yes. Future movies. Maybe."

I looked at his face. He panicked and then found that he had no reason to panic at all. Maybe I truly am speaking to the real Peter Parker.

I nodded with a raised eyebrow.

"I see."

I saw Spiderman looking to the left and I followed his gaze.

Up in front of us was a guy holding a camera, probably vlogging the Comic-Con. He was staring at us with a fervent gaze and approached us quickly.

He's probably thinking of the number of views he's about to get.

"Tom Peterson, Charlie Yang, it is an honor to meet you both."

I stared at his outstretched hand and took it with a smile.

Noticing his inexperience, I'm assuming he's either just recording this for memories or is a newbie vlogger.

Seeing as how he was talking to the camera by himself earlier, I'm going to assume it's the latter.

He then shook Tom Peterson's hand as he looked at me with a scrutinizing gaze, probably wondering why the guy shook my hand first and why he knew my name.

I raised my hands with an unknowing gesture. 

I don't know either man. Maybe he feels more familiar with Youtubers and Streamers.

"Are you friends with Tom Peterson?" He wiped his face. "There just seems to be no short amount of people that you know."

For a second, I did not know what to think of his question and remark, nor what to respond. He seems a little like a paparazzi.

"Ah, haha. I'm just a fan of Tom Peterson," 

[DING! Lying has gained 10 points.]

Ignoring the system I saw both of them nod heavily. One probably thinking: Damn right, I'm awesome; and the other one thinking: How do I get the most amount of views out of this?

His eyes brightened dramatically.

"Charlie. Are you going to be in the next movie of Spiderman?!"

He practically yelled.

The others turned to look at us quickly and intensely.

And where the hell did he pull this out from? Sigh. Now he can clickbait his title… What a sneaky guy.

I stared at him with wide eyes,

"Haha… I sure wish I could…"

"Tom Peterson, could I get a confirmation?"

He spoke like a true paparazzi.

"Haha… I'm not sure…" Suddenly, he changed his mind. Still annoyed that he hadn't known I seemed to be relatively known and spoke to him like a casual fan, he smirked in preparation of what he was about to do.

"You know what, yeah. Cat is out of the bag now. Yep. He's going to be in the next mo—"

I covered his mouth quickly.

Though this made me seem a little more suspicious, I did not care. Not only might both of us get in trouble, him especially, but that was also incredibly random as well. 

Either way, it might end up helping me so I don't mind as much.

The vlogger with the camera interviewing us smiled as if what he had come for was finally given to him.

A clickbait worthy video!

Evan pulled the coffee cup closer, breathing the heavenly smell of liquid energy. It took all his self control not to chug the mug in one gulp, but he knew his mouth would instantly regret that decision. It was close to 4 am when he finally went to bed, after an intense round of PMs with FallenSparrow. It had been a pleasant surprise when her PM came thru, since they usually kept to the chat box to discuss role playing plots. When she asked for his help, he was more than willing to oblige. 

What came next was a drawing. The cartoon was adorable, with floppy ears, a curly tail, and a mischievous expression. He had grinned the moment he saw it, already knowing who it was. 'Isn't that your dog?' Other than her artwork, FallenSparrow has once shared a handful of photos of Bandit. She was like a proud mom doting over her first born.

'I know, it's dumb, but I started drawing and he was what I came up with.' Instead of explaining, her next PM contained more drawings: Bandit on a walk, Bandit eating pizza, and the last panel contained a second dog. The two canines were staring at a stick, with a speech bubble saying 'No matter how many times I bring her the stick, she always throws it away again...' 

Maybe it was the sleep deprivation, but Evan had laughed out loud. The face of her dog looked so depressed, you couldn't help feel sorry for it. 'This is adorable.' He told her. 'Is there more?'

'Kinda. I mean, they're just doodles, but I hit a wall with my other comic, and now, this is all I can draw.' He could almost sense her frustration, and chuckled slightly as he responded.

'You know, sometimes the best art is just what you create for yourself. I know you were trying to make a web comic, but did you ever consider just starting a comic strip?' To him, it was obvious. Her cute and quirky art style was great for one panel jokes like this. True, her other art was good, but this seemed so organic to him.  Even as he opened the picture that morning, coffee in hand, he knew he steered her the right way. He knew plenty of artists that got their footing with something as simple as a cute dog. Who knew if she could do the same?

Like a brick, the thought pulled him back to reality. Ughhhhh, he hadn't finished coloring that panel for his update today. Rubbing his eyes, he forced himself to get started, motivation dragging with every movement of his pen. By the time he emptied his mug, he was cleaning the lines, until finally, he saved the final draft. Once it was uploaded he slouched in his chair. He had a lot to catch up on after procrastinating last night. 

'Do you even sleep anymore?' The message glowed on his phone, and Evan rolled his eyes before picking it up.

'Sleep is for the weak,' he responded.

'Just making sure your digital romance doesn't steal my best friend,' Zane retorted. 

Evan rolled his eyes. 'When has ANY romance stolen your best friend?' He mused.

Zane didn't reply right away, which gave Evan a chance to open the neglected commission. He considered refilling his coffee cup for the extra push, but even caffeine couldn't jump start creativity. This was one of the reasons he understood Sparrow's frustration. She had one plan, but her inspiration took her elsewhere. 

Evan had a bit more experience coaxing his muse where it needed to go though. He drew bags of flour, he doodled donuts, he drew cakes. Anything that could lure the right logo from his subconscious into the computer screen. By time time lunch rolled around, he had two pages of sketches, and a rough font blocked out on the canvas. A knock on the door broke his concentration, however, and he looked up in surprise.

When he opened the door, Zane was standing there armed with a pizza box and a liter of cola. "It's break time. Open the door and let your favorite friend come in."

Evan rolled his eyes as Zane strolled to the kitchen counter and deposited the food. "You could have warned me." He accused, ignoring the loud gurgle his stomach made.

"And give you a chance to come up with a reason for me not to come over? Fat chance. You're taking a break, and you better be ready for me to take you to school in a melee match!" With confident strides Zane scooped up a video game controller and mockingly waved it at his friend.

"You know I have—"

"A deadline. If you can make time for your internet buddies you can make time for me."

That was hard to argue with. Evan picked out a cup from the cupboard and poured himself a glass of cola instead. "How was the movie?" He asked, pulling the pizza box closer. 

"Torture. They never should have done a reboot," Zane complained. He thrust the controller into Evan's hand and opened pizza box. Folding his slice like a burrito he crammed the whole piece in his mouth before planting himself in front of the TV. Evan smirked.

"Glad I didn't miss anything major," he navigated through the windows until he found his favorite character to play, then clicked into a stage before Zane could react. 

"Nooo you know I hate the rainbow round...." Zane sputtered, hastily pushing buttons to dodge the incoming attack's. The level flipped upside down, sending both their characters flying through the air. Zane cursed, and Evan leaned forward, trying to get his own character to dodge falling stars. 

"Now this....is a game. I don't get why you waste your time in those forums...." Zane remarked, smashing the A button in concentration.

"It takes.... creativity," his character threw a brick across the screen. "Not just blind luck." The level turned again, and they both hurried to correct themselves. 

"This isn't luck, it's blind talent!" Zane cheered as he knocked Evan off the screen, the green avatar flying into space. "You can't tell me it's because of the people. I mean, you don't even know her name." He taunted. Evan rolled his eyes. 

"I role play with more than one person," he defended. Zane smirked. 

"But she's your faaaavorite," he teased, earn a real/life swat across the head. "Ouch!"

"Like you're any better. Didn't you ask that girl from your work to go to the movies too?"

"Hey, that's just a friend. If I wanted to date, would I invite you too?" 

"Touché."

They continued the trash talk until the pizza was gone and the cola bottle empty. In the end, Zane had utterly kicked Evan's butt. "37 to 12. In your face!" Zane cheered.

"Fine, you proved a point. I'll practice more for next time. But seriously, it's time for me to get back to work," he didn't dare look at the clock. At least he managed to complete the PowerPatron update first. If he finished the commission tonight, he wouldn't get behind.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you finish. But tomorrow you should come hang out at least. I'm planning on hitting some raids around 5. Sure you don't want to join?" 

Evan sighed, "I guess I can try. No promises though!" He had to yell the last bit as Zane darted for the door.

"5 it is! See you tomorrow!" The door slammed shut and Evan groaned. Why did he feel like Zane had ulterior motives....

Rylee was a college student with her dreams spread out before her. She was engaged to her best friend, pursuing her passion for art, and couldn’t wait for the future. But everything came crashing down when he departed, leaving her heart and her wallet empty. 

Despite the pain of betrayal, she tried not to loose hope. Putting her plans on hold, she was forced to focus on a 9-5 work cycle, secretly wondering about the ambitions she shelved in the process. The occasional artist alley table was not enough to fulfill her longing to do what she loved, and importantly, to find REAL love.

Everything changes as she grows closer to an online friend. Late night role playing adventures turn into long conversations, and his encouragement spurs her to return to forgotten projects. Meanwhile, she meets a famous artist, who makes her want to give love another chance.

Could it be, this love story, would be hers this time?

Authors notes: Bi-weekly updates, original story, thank you for reading!

Emma is a very smart, yet shy little girl. Although she has the freedom most kids dream of, she chooses to mostly stay inside. After her household chores, she enjoys watching all types of shows and movies, but most of all, anime. The characters and storylines are different than regular cartoons. Growing older she continued to grow her love for anime and even began learning Japanese as well as Spanish and French. The other two languages were just because they caught her attention and she had plenty of time to learn them.
Seeing how responsible and mature their daughter is, despite being just a young child they began to give her an allowance twice a month, showing her how to manage a budget. On Emma's  10th birthday, they decided to give her a laptop. Emma was super excited! She now not only didn't have to go to the library so often to check out linguistic books, but she could also look into Cosplaying. Her friends have told her about people of all ages dressing up as their favorite anime or cartoon character and going to different events such as comic cons. Now she had the opportunity to check them out herself while in the comfort of her own home.
Constantly online, downloading, uploading, watching, learning, Emma soaked in every bit of information she could regarding cosplaying and comic con events. She even found out about comic cons that are open to the public in her own town. When she came across her town name in the list of places that hold comic cons, she was in a daze. Thinking back on it her friends did try to bring her to one a while ago, but of course, she refused just like every other time to hang out. Honestly, it is amazing how Nancy and Brittany were able to befriend her and keep their friendship going.
Thinking of her only friends and how they have talked about going to these cosplaying events, as well as seeing videos where people dress as the opposite sex, was slowly stirring something inside of her. Soon after those thoughts, she began spending countless hours searching the best places to purchase cosplaying items, how to do make-up, and even…..even came across a few videos in regards to how to use a chest bind. Her friends were surprised but super excited that their introverted friend finally agreed to hang out with them outside of school. Nancy and Brittany would often be at Emma's house, mostly on weekends, searching and planning what to wear to the comic con events and which events to go to.
Despite her parents constantly working away from home, they still took time out to call her frequently and visit every few months. As Emma grew older her parents still called frequently, but visited less, at least once a year, allowing her more free time for cosplay. Being used to taking care of the house and herself at a young age, she had plenty of time for her studies as well as her hobbies. 
************************
By the time Emma and her friends began high school, they had been to multiple comic con events. Due to budgeting her allowance money and practicing with her friends, Emma was not only able to purchase high-end costumes and wigs but was able to learn how to act. When she put on her characters' costumes, she would become that character, leaving the shy introvert she is in the shadows of her characters. Even being fluent in different languages helped her since she was able to change her voice or accent when she spoke to match her character. Brittnay and Nancy were amazed though at how different Emma became when she put on her outfits. Each and every character she played came to life.
She had gotten down the tricks of the trade and became the belle of the ball or should I say prince in shining armor as she mostly took on male characters and nailed her character each time. She didn't mind dressing as a female character, but most times female characters' costumes would come with so much extra that needed to be done or nothing at all since the costume would be showing off the whole body, minus the private areas, barely. Plus not only being easier to manage, but dressing as a male would lessen the chance of someone recognizing her, so she thought.

A short romance story.      :-)

***Note from the Author:
Updated "Fox" & added "Fox2" hope Fox2 is worth it for those left in suspense from Fox.  :-)

The land which was pouring with the blood of the Ancient Emperor was filled with the precinct of Ancient Trees. Without anyone noticing, the shadow of a man with a yellow robe and tassels that covered his face appeared. He stared at Sha Wujing quietly. Despite Sha Wujing being a legend and experiencing the Pilgrimage to the West, he still trembled with fear. The scepter in his hand turned into a real dragon accompanied with the sound of copper rings intertwining, and it isolated out a world with its own heaven and earth.
At this moment, the figure of the emperor suddenly stepped forward, and the glimmer which was shining from his eyes passed through the tassels.
Before Sha Wujing had the time to think, his Divine Sense became vague, and his body, together with the scepter, were inexplicably compressed. He turned into a thin layer of paper, as if he was an actualized drawing. The similar drawings were stacked, and there were projections of him from different universes, linked to each other just like a comic strip.
The comic strip was collapsing, and the figures of the paper men huddled together into a group of words before flashing toward the emperor who was old and mysterious. It finally fell into his palm and merged into a common book.
The cover of the book was written with its title consisting of azure-like gold characters:
"The biography of Sha Wujing!"
In just a few moments, a legendary mighty person had became a book which recorded the projection of his life!
The precinct of the ancient Fusang trees was really strange and shocking!
Suddenly, radiance emitted from the book. Without any wind, the pages moved on its own, flipping to the Spirited Mountain part. The words mysterious corpse were highlighted, floating above the book and blooming in infinite light. It shone directly onto the eyes of the emperor's figure.
The emperor with tassels covering his face raised his left hand to cover his eyes. He yelled in an illusory pain and stepped back in a rush, crashing and collapsing as if an imaginary bubble had been popped.
The book rolled to the ground and swelled under the shining of boundless light, and the words flew out and merged into figures of paper men. The paper men became bigger just like balloons being blown, until it finally displayed Sha Wujing and his countless reflected selves.
The reflected selves returned to their respective Myriad Worlds. Sha Wujing touched the pouch on his waist and said with appreciation,
"Thank goodness for mom's great foresight."
It was terrifying when he had to battle with this kind of strange enemy who couldn't be accurately evaluated by grades. Even if he cooperated with Zhang Deng, he might also turn into a book without the pre-guiding and long term preparation from his mother. Moreover, perhaps he would be passed to children, be read and told by them, and finally torn into pieces with no trace left behind.
His pale and colorless eyes looked at the top of the ancient Fusang tree which was where the emperor with tassels was standing a while ago. The mulberry leaves surrounded a fruit. It looked slightly transparent, and its color was dark. It reflected the things around just like a strangely designed mirror.
Sha Wujing gently sucked in a breath and solemnly recited,
"Ajati Matriarch, the Void Hometown."
The blossoming white lotus emerged and surrounded his right hand. He then directed his right hand to that fruit in order to pick it up.
Once he succeeded, he immediately destroyed that green grave and the accumulated white flowers left by the previous holy maiden. He erased all her preparations, and then returned to the Void Hometown with the fastest speed.
This fruit was of great importance. Once it appears, there would be many people who would aim for it!
...
In front the ancient Fusang tree, there were colors of red, green, black, and white making noises similar to that of boiling water. The Celestial Lamp Ambassador had a real battle with Shaoxuan and Xi'e. They no longer held back, causing the nearby void to collapse and the rules of heaven and earth to turn into chaos. The four elements plagued everything along with it, leading to a scene as if heaven and earth had experienced its first great damage.
The Last Ship was surrounded with the yellow scent, infiltrating with the water of Holy Virtue. It avoided the four elements while attempting to overcome the damage as it sailed toward the Celestial Lamp Ambassador amidst the aforementioned colors.
While Xi'e tried her best to control the Last Ship, Shaoxuan combined his direct knowledge and martial arts skills with the Tyrant's Invincible Blade. It shot out its strength and power, making the Wanderer Lamp flicker and the right hand of the Celestial Lamp Ambassador to be scorched and trembling slightly.
He was strong enough and had laid out the Ten Directions of the Wanderer's Azure World. When facing the Last Ship and the Tyrant's Invincible Blade, together with two legendary mighty people with a similar level, the Celestial Lamp Ambassador felt like he was unable to cope with them and he was being forced to come forward step by step.
It seemed the Last Ship was coming towards him, almost arriving at the ancient Fusang tree. The Celestial Lamp Ambassador's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were more dignified. He raised his right hand's sleeves and it changed the heaven and earth, the World in the Sleeve!
Heaven and earth were dark, and the four elements disappeared. The Last Ship flew into the sleeve of the Celestial Lamp Ambassador.
He immediately sat cross-legged, placing the Wanderer Lamp in his right hand. The light converged and condensed into numerous glazed crystals, completely covering the sleeves.
Boom!
The sleeves swayed, one expanded and another shrunk.
Boom!
The thunder echoed, and the sleeves expanded rapidly.
Bang!
The thunder resonated together with the explosion while the purple electricity and giant ship flew together, breaking through the sleeve, crushing the lights and glaze.
At this moment, there was an infinite and boundless light shining downwards from above the ancient Fusang tree.
Seeing that Shaoxuan and Xi'e had escaped from the trouble and arrived at the ancient Fusang tree, the Celestial Lamp Ambassador had a slight change in expression. He suddenly sighed and spit out a white wave which directly blew out the Wanderer Lamp!
When the lights went out, the Three Realms were dim. Shao Xuan and Xi'e felt that they were in a boundless darkness. They couldn't distinguish the direction, for even if they were riding on the Last Ship they still couldn't find their way.
The ancient Fusang tree was just in front, but they could no longer see it. At the infinity peak, the Celestial Lamp Ambassador's eyes which were filled with indifference and looked down on them quietly!
...
"I am Yuanshi!"
Meng Qi was shocked, and the self-perception that did not disappear almost collapsed.
He had always had great fear in his heart as he was afraid to fall into the trap of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi after getting rid of the Devil Buddha. When he created and absorbed the projection of the reflected self, he always balanced the two sides and found a way out.
At this moment, in his congenital nature, he actually met a mysterious Taoist who claimed to be Yuanshi!
Could it be that the real intention has been revealed?
Could it be that the oldest and most powerful Nirvana Realm Individual had always been hidden in his nature?
Meng Qi's experience, memory, and cognitive fragments were spinning fast, forming numerous modes of thinking, constantly deriving and sparking with wisdom.
Upon achieving Legendary status and seeing the self, it was actually fairly normal to see some of the big characters in the congenital nature. Many of the legendary parts of the ancient books that remained to this day did record similar phenomena.
Among them, the most common figure was Lord Ling Bao. He was the symbol of having, from having to nothing, it included the end of heaven and earth, so it was also the Creation Aura of all things and the origin of the congenital nature. After cutting myself to see me and returning to the cogenitial, seeing the figure was an expected occurrence.
Secondly, it was the figure of Lord Dao De. The cogenitial I came directly from the Da Dao and was the closest to the Da Dao. Meanwhile, Lord Dao De was the incarnation of Da Dao, which was the order of the existence of the Myriad World and was coincidentally corresponding to the closest to Da Dao. There was a lot of the ancient mighty people who saw him when they broke through to the Legendary realm in the congenital nature.
It was followed by the Buddism Maha Bodhisattva and the Great Luohan. When achieving the Buddha attainment, they would see the Buddha Golden Body, but the appearance of the statue was their own appearance.
But for one to be able to see the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi's figure when achieving the Legendary realm was something no one had ever heard of!
Was the oldest Nirvana Realm Individual coming out from behind the scenes and going to the front of the stage?
The danger was emerging. Based on his instinct, Meng Qi withdrew from this situation. During the past, he would follow his accurate hunch and not hesitate to complete his actions.
However, after experiencing the abandonment of the strength of martial arts, he has already realized that his hunch could not be relied upon. Even if they have been shown to be correct again and again, and they have helped him to avoid death, but he couldn't fully believe and rely on them as they were likely to go wrong.
Looking around, Meng Qi did not recklessly withdraw as he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Based on his current capability, it was difficult to escape if the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi took action.
In this case, why not face him directly and figure out the whole story!
Exploring with his cognitive abilities, Meng Qi found that the ancient Taoist was extremely illusory, and had a sense of established self! 
Established self?
There were lightning and thunder appearing in Meng Qi's mind. With a boom, it illuminated the darkness and he realized the reason.
He owned the characteristics of Nirvana Realm, so of course he was different from other Legendaries.
If every congenital nature backtracked upon on time, experienced the replacement of three souls and returned to the beginning, they would come from the beginning of everything and thus be able to see Yuanshi.
As the saying goes, as long as the heart can see Buddha, then everyone is Yuanshi!
If he couldn't cut himself to see himself, and just made a wrong decision based on experience, cognition, and instinct, the moment he drops out, he would never be able to achieve Legendary status in the next few decades!
He looked at the Premier Taoist and burst into laughter,
"It's me!"
The Premier Taoist laughed as well,
"It's you!"
He stepped forward and the figure disappeared. Now, Meng Qi was seated on the place where the Premier Taoist was earlier!
He felt his whole body become clear instantly and could sense the resonance from the infinity peak.
At the beginning, the creatures were legend. They lived at the infinity peak and projected the world. It then changed and the projection became reflected self while the original self would lower the origin. Now, the clear resonance were exactly where it should be.
The characteristics were coming forward with their perfectly matched origins. The lines of karma were highlighted, connecting the reflected self projections, and they transformed with qualitative change, forming a golden Nirvana Realm lotus that bloomed with excessively bright light.
The golden lotus platform bringing Meng Qi's reflected self passed through layers of obstacles and flew toward the infinity peak.
Meng Qi formed a Wu'Ji Seal with both his hands. With a smile, he spoke in a low voice,
"Passing through the mountains barefoot, without asking for help from deities or Buddha."
"Only upon seeing Yuanshi at the end of the path did I finally know I am myself!"
The sound echoed, and the void shook. The Moonlight Bodhisattva watched as Meng Qi's body emitted colorful lights and fell into the Real World.
Above the air of the Real World, the mist emerged by layers. It was broken and silent, and the highest place was blurry and difficult to see.
"Celestial world crossing the horizon?" In a secret place, Devil Master Han Guang suddenly stood up and looked out, "This is a phenomenon of legendary realm self-achievement!"


I care not of my past and neither of my future.
Conquering all heroes and foes while looking with disdain at the horrors of the Samsara, I yearn only for a life of thrilling wonders!
History will repeat itself after many ages as the menace of the Great Calamity rises once more.
Which will rise with triumph in the face of adversity; the Golden Form of the Great Buddha or the invincible Heavenly Taoist Form?
Which will seize all glory amidst all struggles; The Buddha's Palms or the  Seven Strokes of Heaven's Interception?
From the sanctum of the Shaolin Temple, Meng Qi's adventures and struggles through the Samsara begin as we follow his climb to claim the title of "the Unrivaled and the Invincible One"!




Jason pov

i was getting in diana's apartment in washington dc, it was a one bedroom apartmet with one shower/toilet and a balcony with a great view to the lincoln mamorial.

(a/n) hay guys sorry for not updating for a while now i had a lot going on on my plate, if you liked this story be sure to vote and follow  and tell me in the comments down bellow and if you have any idea to improve the story be sure to tell me so in the comments down bellow



Turned Tables is a project I've been working on for a few years now. It started out as a couple of original characters I would cosplay or draw once in a while and has become something that actually means a lot to me. I do 100% of the work on this by myself including writing, editing, character design, and anything else that went into this story so updates might be all over the place.
  When I first started intertwining all of the characters I had to come up with an actual story. Some of my biggest interests are space, mostly aliens and conspiracy theories, war (military tactics/artillery/ etc.) and psychology. I won't be going into too much front-line combat, the story is mostly about the character's lives and how they interact with each other, so if you find that stuff boring don't worry.

Other Notes

I am currently trying to make a comic version as well that will be posted on YouTube. I figured it would help get a slightly better idea of how the characters look and some other minor things that I wanted to include but couldn't necessarily fit into the written format. I'm not really a comic artist, nor is line art even my typical style, so a lot of the pages will be crude, quick, sketches that are hardly proportional with little continuity. As a whole I'd suggest this version to the comic because it's more detailed and over all better executed. Keep in mind that I'm not a professional writer so calling this version "the better one," is kind'a depressing. 

Now that the serious stuff is out of the way, make sure to follow me on Instagram (link in bio) for cosplay, art, and possibly a few fun facts about the characters. You don't have to if you don't want to, just a suggestion. If you're from my Instagram, hello again! And thank you for the support! I didn't mean for this part to be this long, sorry about that but enjoy my writing if you can!

Mon, December 28-
Yes, I am going to write this sort of like a diary because I guess this can count as one except for the fact that anyone can just click on and read it. Sounds weird when you first think about it but hey I've got nothing to lose anyway. I guess this morning my mind has been working on creating a series of imaginary families. Not for myself but my favorite anime and comic characters. I am a huge anime fan and comic reader and as unusual as it might sound I find that whenever I listen to music I imagine different scenarios for the most recent thing I've read or watch. This morning I woke up and my mind was just flooding with ideas for the comic "unordinary" on the app Webtoon (If you don't know what that is you need to go and check it out-it's the best, My profile icon is one of the main characters named Seraphina and you just really need to go read it). So I find myself imagining that the other main character named John, don't worry I won't spoil anything for the comic, anyway I would imagine him having a twin sister named Jessica that he calls Jessy for short and that she would be sort of like his other half that helps keep him in check and is the one person that whenever he's blocking everyone else out she's the only one who can get through to him. So today I was listening to the song "Nothing's stopping me now" by Vicetone ft. Kat Nestel and as the song played I imagined the two of them having a series of adventures where they would skip school, tell off bullies, and just build up their sibling bond from childhood till their teens as they wouldn't let anything tare them apart. I don't know where this idea of him having a sister came from but I like to imagine it whenever a good song plays and I sometimes even add a brother that I have not come up with a name for I know like what. But yeah I would sometimes imagine John with a twin or a boy in a group of triplets. In the actual comic John is an only child and the more I read I liked to imagine how things would have unfolded if he had a sibling to talk to. I don't want to go on about the stories plot cause I have no right to do that and I love the story myself so I would like if interested for others to find and read it themselves even if your not a huge story person the drawings are to die for especially as they improve from update to update. I would also imagine the three of them in music videos (I don't know why) it's just that I like imagining them in different styles as I would have them singing and dancing around in accordance to the song I'm listening too. I just really enjoy doing that I guess and yeah Imma end it here now since my mind is at a blank right now so yeah bye-bye.

As the daughter of a well-known model and billionaire CEO Jessica finds that all eyes are on her and even the slightest misstep can lead to a scandal. Her Father also has a reputation of being a rude and conniving individual so Jessica has to look out for who she chooses to socialize with. 

Everyone could potentially be a threat to her family and many could just want to use her for her family's wealth. Outside eyes believe she has the perfect life without a care in the world, but what is so perfect about having to constantly watch you back? To be surrounded by power-hungry individuals who see you as nothing more than a money bag? Not being able to love as she chooses? 

Doesn't sound so perfect now does it, but no one would believe her if she were to tell them. Jessica was probably close to falling off the edge into a cold world when a chance encounter will lead her down a path of self-discovery. "My deepest apologies, are you alright?"
