Xuān Lóng, the Black Dragon, doesn't know #MeiPiehChi or the #TMNT2012 team from a hole in the wall. As an ancient being of primordial qi energy, the dragon doesn't notice specific mortals. It knows the Dragon Mirror, though. That'll get its attention. #BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic #januwrite
#MeiPiehChi & the #TMNT2012 crew know to "Use The Dragon Mirror To Purge Xuān Lóng." They've got a note from Monk Chung I, some dreams from #Splinter, & this weird wuxia C-drama Mikey's been watching. But the Dragon Mirror is the key! Probably. #BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic #januwrite
#MeiPiehChi 's father, the Monk Chung I, safeguarded the Dragon Mirror & the Black Dragon of Vengeance bound to it. Without a spiritual servant using the mirror to purge the accumulating dark yin energies of Xuān Lóng, the dragon's fury grows. #BalanceTheScales #TMNT #TMNT2012 #fanfic #januwrite
Storm powers + Spiritual Possession.
#Leonardo dreams of #MeiPiehChi before they meet. #TMNT get a front-row seat when Xuān Lóng takes her mind and sends her after the traffickers that imprisoned her on the cargo ship from China. #BalanceTheScales #tmnt2012 #fanfic #Januwrite #SpiritualPoisoning
IRL, Xuān Lóng myth varies, but for #BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic, the Great Black Dragon absorbs suffering. It lashes out with its storms to punish the world that hurts it. #MeiPiehChi 's Master kept Xuān Lóng in balance. Without him, the dragon is out of control. #tmnt2012 #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi wants to hear her father, her Master Chung I, say she can come home. That it's safe. That she can stay in the hermitage, live with him on Mount Wuru, and take care of him into his old age. She yearns for her home and for her family. #TMNT #fanfic #BalanceTheScales #tmnt2012 #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi flees the monastery through a hidden tunnel. As a girl turtle, she's bigger than our #tmnt2012 boys & much wider than a human. Her hard shell turns the pitch black claustrophobic crawl into a nightmare trap of bone vs stone under a mountain. #TMNT #BalanceTheScales #fanfic #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi trusts her dreams. In traditional Chinese beliefs, "wáng hún tuō mèng," or "dead soul entrusts his dream," dreamers & the dead can still talk! #Venus wants to hear from her Master, but gets visits from a Celestial Rat Man #Splinter instead. #TMNT #BalanceTheScales #fanfic #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi gives real only-child energy. She's bewildered by #TMNT: brothers, sewers, & scifi tech. Are they weird b/c they're Americans?! Her nose goes up, up, up in her confusion & she looks down that pointy nose when she's judging. #CultureShock #BalanceTheScales #tmnt2012 #fanfic #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi ( #Venus)
1. will not kill. She thinks she may have to while in danger, but ultimately she will never cross that line.
2. will never abandon her Shīfù's last wishes.
3. will never run around without pants like these crazy American turtles.
#BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic #Januwrite
#MeiPiehChi is devoted to the Shaolin monk Chung I. Raised as his only pupil & heir, #Venus would do anything for her Shīfù. Add in the religious responsibility she feels as a Celestial Animal & her own sense of justice & compassion? She will never give up.
#BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic #Januwrite
In my #TMNT #fanfic #BalanceTheScales, #MeiPiehChi went through hell to get to America & fulfill her father's last wishes. Raised in monastic isolation by her Master, she is unprepared for the hard reality of Hamato Yoshi's death & the radically different worldview of the #tmnt2012 boys
#Januwrite
#BalanceTheScales #fanfic the #TMNT from #tmnt2012 take their fighting qi to the next level with the help of #MeiPiehChi. They'll need it to fight Xuān Lóng, the Great Black Dragon. #Raphael isn't getting it via meditation, so he & #Venus duke it out. Wish I could share the whole scene!

A short excerpt from my #BalanceTheScales #TMNT #fanfic draft. Our science guy is getting frustrated with all this supernatural #dragon talk.
#MeiPiehChi: Dragons control storms and tides.
#Donatello: I can name 44 scientists off the top of my head who disagree.
#Januwrite
In her debut series, #MeiPiehChi 's culture & past were barely explored. #BalanceTheScales, my #fanfic, overflows w/ Chinese fantasy tropes that mesh w/ the grittier #tmnt2012 canon. Venus as an immigrant, an orphan, & a kung-fu warrior kicks off an adrenaline-soaked #TMNT adventure.
#Januwrite
#TMNT fandom ignores Next Mutation live action TV show (1997.) Written & produced by Saban (Power Rangers,) it was for little kids. But I've been watching lots of intense #cdrama wuxia series! What if... #tmnt2012 × #MeiPiehChi (Venus) fight a world-killing #dragon in a kung-fu #fanfic?
