2024

Planning to work in media, you didn't even know what to think after hustling almost everywhere and trying to settle down near various spaces.

Just in time to celebrate your friend's birthday, she pulled strings by an absolute miracle and quickly gained tickets for this upcoming WWE match.

Seated ringside, you grinned between spotlights this evening as fans cheered between large-scale entrances.

Soon enough, three roaring drum slams pulled this building into outright chaos and heroically ominous music would carry that introduction.

Oh my God. Despite holding back countless opportunities to scream with everyone, you know exactly who will arrive beyond the ramp doors.

Tribal Chief and Head of the Table: Roman Reigns.

“This can't be real.” Your friend whispered through regardless of noise and smiled.

Raising one finger to acknowledge the Tribal Chief, you both turned stoic faces while many other people kept shrieking in the background.

Observing this incredible moment, you suddenly realized that Roman paused each footstep and locked eye contact with his deep brown eyes.

Even your friend covered her mouth in shock to avoid ruining this chance for you.

Before anyone could speak once more, Roman walked away from you and turned by that ring, gliding past ropes just to handle Solo Sikoa.

“Superman Punch for Solo Sikoa!” Commentators almost jumped for Reigns now.

“Spear him! C'mon.” Your friend whistled through excitement and lifted both arms, just waiting for Roman to end this big-time match properly.

Ooh-wa! Fans echoed the Tribal Chief and Roman charged forward, tackling Solo without hesitation.

“The Original Bloodline has reassured dominance as the Tribal Chief returns with victory! Thank you for watching our program.” Final credits moved near discreet monitors and closed the broadcast.

Just when you planned to drive home and crash with your friend this weekend, security guards reached the same direction out of nowhere

Did something go wrong after the wrestlers finished this show?

Holding hands with your friend, you just simply waited. There's no other choice.

“Excuse me, ladies. Would you mind joining us for the press conference?” One guard stepped up.

“Wanna go, birthday girl?” You turned by your friend just in case she feels uncomfortable heading elsewhere.

“Are you serious? Of course!” Your friend's grin brightened more than sunlight.

While holding hands again, you followed security and moved down this known tunnel, prepared for the aftermath questions.

*******

First meeting back in college, you would sit next to your friend during lectures and try to focus, but professors always struggled with explanations.

Now, both of you stopped grinning and locked down concentration while journalists prepared themselves to address Roman Reigns up close.

Wearing another black emblem hoodie with matched dark sweatpants, Roman would top his long hair through one messy bun, exhausted.

Damn. You've worried, but don't greet this problem out loud.

You just watched in complete silence while taking mental notes. Everyone questioned the man who changed so much and skyrocketed this company.

Even your friend noticed how dynamics changed in this large room. She no longer smiled as this adorable birthday shawl would rest in her lap.

“You…” Roman's strong voice somehow crossed your path without burning anger to stay loud here.

“Yes?” Once you stood, an employee handed out this microphone for the sake of time and your own voice picked up attention.

“Don't ask me anything. It's my turn.” His glare shut down everyone.

“Of course.” You welcomed Roman's chance alongside others.

“Call me?” As Roman chuckled and smoothed black-grey patterns of one delightful beard, this unexpectedly cute smile illuminated his face.

“Wow!” Gasping shock would cross the true laughter of people located around this important room. Even your friend is heard almost giggling.

“Oh! Sure.” Independent until further notice, you accepted that invitation and planned to hand over one business card after the conference stopped.

Before you could even sit back down, another staff member walked and noticed your business card, discreetly handing this item to Roman.

Everyone held their breath and you waited again, silently questioning his next move.

“I appreciate the network, but that's not what I'm looking for.” Pursing lips, Roman frowned and shook his head.

Uh-oh. You realized what secret Reigns meant tonight.

“Do it.” Your friend whispered.

Roman wanted your personal phone number this time around.

Even one journalist found among seats ripped this sticky note and offered their pen without thinking twice.

You scribbled that private number down and Roman gained his chance, laughing through another flawless smile.

“Yes!” Roman looked at you once more and your heart began to race while laughter resumed, closing this night.

In the parking lot, you raved with your best friend and almost squealed beyond happiness together.

“That's amazing!” Not even pulling jealousy, she welcomed the late drive back home and blasted music out loud, supporting you no matter what.

******

After sharing breakfast in the morning, you pulled everything together and gathered essentials to leave, but your friend shouted downstairs.

“Your phone's ringing!” She echoed the message from this staircase.

“Be right down!” You zipped up this bag and planned to head out, taking the phone just before that call would skip.

“See you later. Drive safe.” your friend said goodbye and you shouldered this call, moving toward the driveway this morning.

_____

“Hello, how can I help you?” You offered this professional greeting just in case.

“Hey.” Roman's strong voice deepened out of nowhere. “Is this really your number? I needed to check…”

Holy shit! Thoughts scrambled with joy, but you definitely knew better and stayed calm.

“Yes.” You still clarified the truth. “This is my personal phone number.”

“Last night was fun.” His chuckle prompted butterflies and you joined the driver's seat without traveling right away.

“Thanks for adding a little magic. It was my friend's birthday.” You smiled.

“That's cool. Any cake?” Roman asked.

“Plenty.” You said, feeling the late-night sweet tooth again.

“Good. Well, I gotta go, but can we talk later or something?” His Southern accent pulled forward.

“Okay. Just feel free to reach out first. I don't want to get in your way.” You counted his own boundaries regardless of what took place last night.

“I appreciate it. Bye.” Roman ended the conversation himself and your thoughts nearly swooned on the way home.

______

Just hours later, you agreed to set up this video chat with your cell phones, especially because Roman couldn't stand using platforms like Zoom.

“Still at the gym?” You messed with him while cooking dinner for one.

“Bout to leave. Not even sure where I'm going tomorrow.” Ro slung the athletic bag after leaving this treadmill.

“Damn.” You nearly whispered.

“Looks good. Save me a plate.” Roman complimented your upcoming meal.

“No cheat days.” You joked.

“Really?” Roman chuckled on his way out the door.

“Yes.” You fooled around in return. “It's called accountability here.”

“Don't become arrogant.” Roman told you. “I can handle attitudes, character or not.”

“What?” Upon realization of his intent, you neatly stopped cooking.

“You heard what I said.” Black tresses dropped near his forehead while that messy bun turned out of place.

Goodness! The kitchen isn't burning, yet some heat warmed your senses tonight.

“Ro…” You struggled with his name, but still cooked and tried to avoid lust.

“Bye, Sweetheart.” Grinning one last time, he turned off the video chat just to move your thoughts all over again.

This man could drive you insane.

*****

With each passing conversation, you would move one step closer to seeing Roman again.

Traveling alone because your friend hustled over work, you found Reigns behind the scenes while professionals helped before tonight's broadcast.

“Hey.” His bright smile offered kindness again when Roman sat down in front of you and styled the famous bun that would top his dark hair.

“Hi.” You greeted Roman. “Sorry if I'm alone. My friend works pretty often.”

“I don't mind.” This sneaky grin almost took over his chiseled face.

“Are you already trying to tell me something?” You messed with him again.

“Um-um!” Ro sat up. “Be careful. Don't wake me up.”

“Why not?” You say. Even professionals caught the moment and turned their heads.

Standing from this chair, Roman stepped forward and pierced brown eyes directly into your soul.

“Don't do it. I'm telling you now.” Warning you again, his accent deepened further than expected.

Almost towering beyond height, Roman dared to bite his lip while facing you. Your own eyes looked upward just to meet that dangerous glare now.

Soon enough, legend Paul Heyman walked in before Reigns could lose his mind around your presence.

Prepared for the new episode at last, Roman stepped away from you and quickly grounded countless emotions to handle this match instead.

****

Joining the ringside placement again, you watched as Roman stood tall and held his microphone, but those eyes kept watching.

Even subtitles would pick up the unknown movements of his lips.

‘Stop flirting with me.’ Reigns quickly lifted his brow toward you. ‘Stop.’

Laughing, you winked by production cameras regardless.

But when Roman signaled the microphone, everyone looked for his opinion.

“Hold on. Careful, man. We're still on TV.” Jimmy Uso smirked and warned his cousin.

“It's her fault. Not me. I didn't start anything.” Not even caring this time, Roman scrunched up his face and Jimmy watched your path.

‘Don't make him crash out. Please!’ Jimmy's hilarious subtitles would flash on screens and you laughed again while fans cheered.

******

Following another victory, Roman nearly sprinted with loose hair as your laughter echoed in the tunnel.

“What did I say, huh?!” His Southern accent rasped toward you while grit from the match lingered.

“Wait!” Your racing footsteps can't escape and this man lifted you up, carrying this moment to his private room.

____

Placed in this special area, Roman smiled and walked closer.

“Just say the word and I'll stop.” He still wanted your consent.

“Don't stop. Kiss me.” You asked. Whirlwind moments only took place once in a lifetime.

Just before Roman's lips would meet your touch, the door creaked open.

“Yo, man! We gotta…Oh, shit!”Jimmy Uso gasped over the interruption.

“Get out.” Roman held your hand despite his frustration around Jimmy.

“Aight. My bad!” Jimmy raised both palms to surrender, closing the door behind him.

“I'm leaving.” You gathered essentials once more, but Roman's glare pleaded.

“I'm sorry.” Ro whispered, but his feelings shattered.

The door slammed again once you left that night.

On Tackling Low Self-Esteem

Anyone who's been tuning in to my blog over the last few months knows that I've struggled with a poor self-image forever and a day.

[Thanks mom and dad for being righteous bastards!]

But I've also been working on it in very focused ways and ... surprising to me ... things have started to shift in a positive direction. I'll share a few things that have worked for me - and maybe some of you will benefit too.

Everyone is different ofc so ymmv.

Also as a word of warning: this shit is fucking hard. It's painful as hell because it requires me to question nearly every last thought, belief, and emotion that goes through my head. Some times it's so fucking maddening and exhausting and I'm super emotional these days.

But ... as I said ... it is starting to shift things for me. I'm not feeling the burning desire for external validation any more (as much). I'm not feeling like I need to be a people pleaser (as much). I'm not afraid of rejection or abandonment (as much).

I'm still working on it so I don't want anyone to think I'm some expert. And I'm certainly not a therapist. If you are really suffering, please seek professional help. My heart goes out to you.

THE FOUNDATION

Everyone always says "be kind to yourself" and "be compassionate." I've heard that a million times and it has never stuck until my therapist explained something important to me:

My dysfunctions are because my childhood identity was taught to act in certain ways before I had a logical brain to make sense of the horrible shit heaped on me by my parents. Read that again. For me, it was the key to all my progress.

Before I would get so ANGRY at myself for not learning lessons or doing the wrong things all the time or ... whatever. Now, I say, "it's ok, Foggy. Your inner child was taught coping strategies and you simply need to catch them and relearn them. Those things are deep inside you and it's going to take work. You are ok. You are a good person."

When we are kids and are exposed to trauma (in my case, an absentee alcoholic father and a mother who switched between obsessive love and literally "I'm going to drive this car into a tree at a hundred miles per hour and kill us all" - fun fun fun), our brains don't know how to process it. We create and lock in strategies for SURVIVAL. It gets hard-wired into us.

So ... yeah ... be kind to yourself and be compassionate to yourself. Because you are working against deep programming and it's going to take a while. Your subconscious is FUCKING UP YOUR SHIT because it learned to do what it had to for survival.

AVOID ABSOLUTES

"I always fuck things up."

"I never learn."

"People always disappoint me."

"I'm always going to be alone."

Nah. Untrue. None of those absolutes are true. And if you catch yourself using those words, you are, in essence, programming your own destiny of sadness.

My hypnosis experience tells me that ... we don't need inductions to program suggestions. Repetition does realllllllll well.

So when you say or think those absolute statements, you might think you are stating a simple fact about your life. But in reality, you are telling your subconscious COMMANDS. And you repeat them enough, well, fuck yeah it's going to become your reality.

Think about it a bit. And next time you catch yourself saying absolutes, do your best to soften them.

"I always fuck things up." -> "I fucked up this time." -> "I made a mistake and I'm going to learn from this, the best I can."

"I never learn." -> "This is a tough thing to learn." -> "Ok, I see what I did here. Next time, I'm going to do it different, the best I can."

etc. etc. Work on them. Shift them, transform them, transform your programming.

CHANGE YOUR TALK TRACK

Related to the above stuff, if you are going to program yourself, use powerful positive words. And if you can't believe the BIG STUFF, start small.

"I do my best."

"I work hard at things."

"I am surviving."

"I can count on myself in a jam."

"I have overcome horrible childhood trauma. I'm a survivor."

etc.

Look, friend ... if you've made it this far, you have gone through some real shit, right? You wouldn't be reading about fixing low self-esteem unless you had low self-esteem. So I'm guessing you've had some fucked up shit heaped on you.

And look at you go. You are still here. You are putting one foot in front of the other. You are capable of amazing things.

It might sound trite but I don't think so. NGL, I'm attracted to traumatized people. My therapist says trauma inflicted people can smell trauma on others and we feel bonds instinctively. I think that's true. And I've met a shit ton of hurting people and one thing that is universal: we're all strong and capable.

Examine your life and feel the truth of that. Start with that as your positive vibe to build upon. You are a survivor. You are capable of surviving. You are strong.

WATCH THE STORIES YOU TELL YOURSELF

I find that not everyone tells themselves stories about situations, people, and things. I do so this one hits me hard time and time and time again.

An example: someone I like or love doesn't text me back in a "reasonable time" (if it's someone I really love, reasonable time is immediately lol), I will start to wonder things. For those of you who don't suffer from this, this is going to sound ... nutty.

"I guess they don't like me any more."

"What did I do wrong?"

"I'm such a fuck up."

"They left me. I'm always going to be alone."

That’s pretty much spot on how it goes. And I'm guessing some of y'all are reading this and nodding your head.

The spiral goes deep and it happens fast over the smallest thing.

It could be a look someone gives you. Or they didn't laugh at a joke. Or they forget your birthday. Or they didn't remember that thing you told them a week ago that was important to you.

The stories we tell ourselves are so so so cruel. I still struggle with these. I get high anxiety and fear as my mind starts spiralling.

I'm learning to pause when I start telling myself a negative story about someone else, no matter how "true" the story seems. And ... fr fr fr ... THEY ALWAYS SEEM TRUE!!!!

I pause. I say ... what if there are other reasons at play? Maybe they didn't text back because they are busy? Maybe their phone is dead? Maybe they are in the car and can't text and drive? Maybe ... a million other things that have ZERO to do with me and my worth as a human being.

Because odds are ... that is what's happening.

And if not? If something is legit wrong in the relationshp? Well shit ... going into sad death spiral gloom and doom mode isn't helping anyone with anything. You know what does help? COMMUNICATION.

"Hey, I feel like we've been a bit distant lately. I wanted to check in to make sure everything is ok?"

"I want you to know that I've been feeling a bit of anxiety and want to talk through things. Can we do that?"

"You didn't text me back for a few days, and it made me very anxious. Is everything ok?"

You need to find the things for the specific situation but the right people are going to be ok with honest and open communication. If it scares them off, well, shit ... this is super hard for me to say lol but ... it's ok to let people go if they don't want to be authentic and don't want to deal with you being authentic.

But dial back your stories. Pause them. Remember the world doesn't revolve around you and if they didn't notice your hair cut, it doesn't mean the world has ended and they hate you. They have a million things going on in their life and I bet if you say "so what do you think of my new hair cut?", they will engage on it.

I've got more but ... this is already a lot.

Remember to be kind to yourself. Seriously. You are so strong and capable and you've come so far and faced so much hardship. You deserve someone to take care of you and ... that person you deserve is you.

Take care of you first. People have told me that for a long time and I never understood it.

It's so easy to care for others and be kind to others.

Turn that inwards. You got this.

Fire On Fire

Chapter Three: July 20, Thursday, Izuku Midoriya, after school

“Wait, you have a girlfriend?” Uraraka gasped when she saw Kioko walking towards me, she had blown a kiss. 

Not to me as always, she did that to annoy and embarrass me, and most of the time it’s just harmless, “No,” I sighed, trying not to blush, “She’s my sister.” I grimaced, waiting for the awful remarks about her.

“Why did she….?” Uraraka was confused, and Kioko was caught in some animatic conversation with someone on her phone.

“Blow a kiss? She does that to annoy me, it’s like her way of reminding me of all my mistakes.” I turned, she didn’t have to babysit today so she would want to walk home with me, “But, I’ll talk to you later?”

“So…Zez is gonna stay with us?” Kioko had finally met up with us, “Hold on Mom,” She faced us, “Ooh, is this your girlfriend? Cute, Mom wants me to tell you that I’m walking alone today,” She turned to Uraraka, “Have fun with your boy-toy.” She left, continuing her conversation with Mom.

“Sorry about her.” Uraraka was bright red with…..embarrassment?

“No, it’s fine….” We stood there for a minute going over what just happened, “Sorry, I didn’t mean- I mean I do- I mean, sorry.”

My phone started ringing, when I looked, it was Kio, “Yes?” I shot an annoyed look at Uraraka.

“Put me on speaker, please,” I did, “Kay, Izu is too wimpy to ask you out so yeah, if you like him just go on a date already.” She hung up.

“What?”

“She’s crazy, she-” Ochaco turned away, shoulders slumped, “I-I mean I d-do like you.”

She perked up, spun around to face me, and kissed my cheek, once very light, then she walked away, “Call me, okay?” Her parents picked her up.

“O-okay.”

-Katsuki Bakugou-

“Did I seriously walk out just to see….that? Come on, weak. If you’re gonna ask someone out, don’t leave them with a little peck and a hopeful call.” Kirishima said blatantly like he hasn’t been egging Deku on all year about it.

“Leave them missing what almost happened.” Kirishima looked shocked at what I had said. “What?”

“Since when were you the love expert?” Sparky came up behind us, draping his arms over our shoulders.

I shrugged him off, “I’m not, I’m also not wimpy enough to get my little sister to ask someone out for me.” Deku turned.

“I-I didn’t ask her to do that.” His face was beet red, good.

“Correction: I’m not stupid enough to let my sister know who I like.”

“Who do you like?” A combination of Sparky, Kirishima, Deku, and Pinky cried out.

-Izuku Midoriya-

Kacchan turned a light shade of red, he was glaring at the ground, trying to walk faster and avoid the question.

“Well? Who is it?” Mina asked, stepping in front of Kacchan, he stepped around her.

“She doesn’t like me so it doesn’t matter.” It sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than us.

“Who?” Mina was practically in his face, leaning so close it was betting against fate that she would trip.

Bakugou checked his phone and grimaced, “She’s burning the candle at both ends.” 

“Who?” Mina kept raising her voice.

“Leave it alone.” He sidestepped her and just left, ignoring the rest of everyone’s questions.

-Kioko Midoriya-

I hated my brother, but I’m glad that he was able to finally get a girlfriend. And Zez is coming to Japan next year, she’s going to stay with us and she’ll probably end up as a third-year, but as long as she’s here….she’ll be my back-up. Mom had finished filling me in on all the details, and now I have to call her.

“Zez?” I had stopped in my tracks, Zez was right there, with her whole family.

“Kioko!” She tackle-hugged me, forcing all air out of my lungs.

“Yo-you’re crushing me.”

“Zezaria! Let go, show some decorum.” Her dad, a huge business model, is  terrible. He used to be a drunk, and he hated me.

“Sorry, dad.” She let go and I could see the tell-tale sign of problems at home, she couldn’t stop fingering her little charm bracelet.

“What’re you doing here?” I couldn’t contain my excitement.

“Mom wanted to see where I’d be living and check out the school, but I guess it’s your last day?” She looked past me, to someone behind me.

“Yeah, come on, I can pick up Akemi and we can get ice cream?” It was a question for her parents, and plans for us.

“Isn’t that Akemi’s super-model hot brother?” She was pointing to Bakugou, who was trying to get home without answering anyone’s questions.

“He’s not even cute, Zez-”

“So I can have him?” She loved joking about Bakugou but she knows that if she did, we couldn’t be friends.

“He’s all yours.” We laughed, but now they were almost here, Bakugou ploughing through everything and everyone.

“Is she in our grade?” Ashido, trying to get in front of Bakugou and failing.

“Do we know her?” Kirishima, looking very confused.

“Can I have her number?” Kaminari, looking very out of place.

“Kioko?” My brother, looked apologetic and then angry as he turned on me.

-Katsuki Bakugou-

Everything came to a standstill, Kioko met my gaze and I wanted to blast everyone’s head off. I shouldn’t have said anything. She’s hopefully not going to know anything about this.

“Why are you torturing Bakugou?” Kioko asked, a hint of disgust in her voice.

“I’m not-”

“We’re trying to find out who he likes.” Pinky interrupted Deku.

With this information, a grin spread across Kio’s face, a description of cruelty, she glanced at her friend and came to stand in front of me, “Easy, it’s the one person he should hate, but acts so gentle with.”

“But he’s not gentle with anyone?” Kirishima said, glancing curiously at me.

“Yes he is, you just have to look at it from his view,” She came right under me, “See the people around him from his view. Izu reminds him of times when he wasn’t strong enough. Looking at it like this, he’s really just a very calculating person.”

“Calculating?” I tried to make it a joke, and laugh it off, but it came out a lot darker.

Kiko moved away, closer to her friend, “Ye-yeah, you never do something without trying to think it through.”

Pinky and Sparky just laughed, “That’s hilarious, Bakugou? Thinking anything through?” They burst into laughter.

“Oh shut it.” I turned and left, I’m surprised I even stayed that long, most of the time they piss me off too much, and I walk away.

“Hey, Bakugou, is it?” The man standing next to Kioko’s friend called.

I glanced over my shoulder, he didn’t look all that powerful so I kept walking. Only to have Kioko and her friend pop up next to me.

“Is Bakugou your first name or last name?” The girl had her hair styled to match Kioko’s. 

After a moment Ki said, “Last, but most people call everyone by their last name, not first.”

“Even if you’re friends?” The girl wrapped an arm around Kioko’s waist, pulling in slightly.

“Yeah, first names are more for lovers and families.” A soft blush spread through her face. 

“I wouldn’t mind being his lover.” She stage-whispered, and I tensed.

-Kioko Midoriya-

Bakugou was not amused by Zezaria, if anything he wanted her to walk away, far away. Zez gripped my side, not in a mean way, I think she was trying to be nice, but it squeezed my ribs. Her acrylic blue nails made crescents on the skin. 

“I don’t think he’s your type Zez.” I thought she knew that she could never like him, for me.

“What do you mean? He’s blonde, tall, and hot-headed, he’s perfect.” Zaria pulled me closer, too close for me to be comfortable.

“I am right here, if you want to talk about me, do it to my face.” Bakugou was not happy with her words, which didn’t make sense as they would be perfect together.

Zez let go to step right in front of Bakugou, “I would but the things I say might make you want to blow my face off.” She smiled, pecked him on the cheek, and ran back to her parents, “Call me!” I didn’t know if that was meant for Bakugou or me.

“So sorry….about that.” I sighed, I really wasn’t sure what all that had been about.

“Kem and you are going for ice cream today?” Bakugou didn’t even turn around to see her go, his shoulders relaxed and he looked calmer.

“Yeah, she’s been begging me to take her.” I started walking, if we were going to be able to go to Kemi’s favorite place, we needed to hurry, I had placed my order before it closed, but they only held orders one hour after closing.

-At Kemi’s School-

“Big brother!” Kemi jumped into Bakugou’s arms, he swung her around twice before setting her down.

“Hey there Akemi.” He put his forehead down to hers, “How was school?”

“It was really fun, and we need to get ice cream, do you want to come?” She kissed his forehead and pulled him towards the route we normally took for ice cream.

He looked at me, a hint of apology in his eyes, “If it’s okay with Kioko.”

-Katsuki Bakugou-

“Come on, we’re gonna be late, and they’ll eat all our ice cream!” Fake enthusiasm drenched her voice. 

Akemi phased in and out of sight, seemingly teleporting from place to place, Kiko jogging along with her. I walked along with them until all the running made Kemi tired, then I carried her to the last block and all the way back home, she had white cream covering her mouth. When we got home, Kemi started on her homework while Kioko talked to my parents about Kem’s sugar intake. We were moving into the next year, and I never had much to do after school but, since Akemi came, I’ve never had a free moment. Kio finished and sat out on the porch, talking to her friend on the phone, she had a heated moment then hung up. I went outside to ask if she was okay. “Don’t. Talk to me.” She put her hand up, tears were pricking at her eyes.

“Fine, then I won’t talk to you.” I sat on the railing, “So my little sister’s babysitter has this friend, her friend did something really weird today and then I’m guessing they fought about it, so the babysitter probably feels bad and she doesn’t wanna talk to me but judging that since she hasn’t left yet she probably wants to talk about it.”

She sighed and rolled her eyes at me, a smirk creeping on her, “Your friend sounds kinda weird.”

“Don’t let her hear you, she’ll kill me for insinuating that we’re friends.” I shuddered, sixth grade still gave me nightmares.

She glared at me, “Hmm, flambe sounds more like it.” She lit her forefinger on fire, a small flame that flared before going out.

I gulped, she would go through with it too, “But last I heard she went to reformatory school in the states.” The same group of girls from before came around the corner tittering.

“I didn’t go to a reformatory school, Bunny.” She spat, fire lighting her fingers.

“What did you just call me?” The smaller girl asked.

“Nevermind.” Her fire went out, she grabbed her stuff and pushed me aside when I tried to stop her.

“Ko? You didn’t say good bye…” Kem opened the door, she didn’t like strangers, and the bigger girl was wrapping an arm around Kioko.

“Go inside, cupcake.” She was firm, so I pushed her inside, giving Kiko one last look.

-Kioko Midoriya-

He wanted me to cry for help? No, I would never ask him for help again. We stepped into an alley, and I knew I was in trouble. I backed up as far as I could, but the Inari kept coming, and I had no place to run. She grabbed me with a vise-like grip, pulling me close, and then punching me. I felt the pain of a broken nose, and then another blow to the stomach. I was bleeding, but none of them stopped, continuing to batter me until I couldn’t move. I lay there alone in the dark. It reminded me of the States, people would mug you with a beating on the street, here I was beaten because I was better than them. It was late and Mom was calling me, I let it go to voicemail, Dad and Izu tried too. 

*I threw us into the flames*

At Bakugou’s ringtone I got up. I hated worrying everyone, so I called Mom, “I’m fine. stop calling me.” I hated how coarse my voice sounded.

I was about to hang up when I heard Bakugou’s voice, “Where are you?” I could hear someone crying in the background and Izuku was mad at Katsuki.

“Why isn’t Akemi asleep? And why do you have my mom’s phone?” I checked the time, I must’ve fallen asleep, it was almost midnight.

“She was asleep until your mother came over crying because she couldn’t reach you.” The phone switched hands, and Zuku’s voice came through, “Next time you decide to hang out with some girls, call first.” He had no idea.

“Whatever, I’ll be there in ten, love you, see you soon.” I hung up, Zuku had passed the phone to someone else but I didn’t know who.

-Katsuki Bakugou-

“Love you, see you soon.” She left my house at five with the girls, even if she got a beat down she should’ve been able to get home by at least nine. She should’ve answered her cell, and she can’t blame Kemi for being woken up by a hysterical woman and her annoying son. 

“Who did she leave with again?” Deku asked for the third time, he was pacing back and forth, wearing a stupid All Might shirt.

“How should I know?” I did know, but I wanted revenge before he got all up in it.

“They were here, they picked her up, that’s how you should know.” His face was turning red, he was actually mad for once.

“Come on Kem-cake, back to bed.” I picked her up, her little unicorn onesie tear-stained.

“Is Kioko gonna be okay?” She was phasing, and I just needed her to go to sleep.

“She’s fine, probably just took a nap somewhere and forgot to tell her mommy and daddy.” I smiled, “No reason to worry, okay?”

“Okie.” She yawned and I tucked her in. 

We sat in silence, the only sounds coming from my mother trying to comfort Mrs.Midoriya until Kioko came in, a black eye and broken nose, her shirt ripped and torn, cuts on her shins and arms, “I’m here.” Her voice was hoarse.

“Go clean up, Katsuki, Izuku, make sure she’s okay.” Mom shooed us out, Mrs.Midoriya had started crying again, so Mom was trying to comfort her.

We walked in silence behind her and when she stepped inside she slammed the door shut, not aggressively just enough to tell us she didn’t want to answer our questions. That didn’t stop me from pushing the door open, or stop Deku from opening his mouth, “What the hell happened?”

“Nothing. Katsu, can you grab me a shirt from Kemi’s room?” Kio turned on the water, splashing her face as I walked away to grab her a shirt.

-Kioko Midoriya-

My nose throbbed, I was gonna have to put it back in place. Izu was talking but I blocked him out, scrubbing the caked blood off of my arms before gingerly taking off my shirt, wincing as it pulled at the scabbing bruises. Since when did I call him Katsu? What did that heathen do to me? What did-

-Izuku Midoriya-

She was crying, full on sobbing as she attempted to scrub herself clean, but she either didn’t notice or didn’t care. I grabbed the bandages from Mrs. Bakugou’s cabinet, wrapping Kio’s wounds and stilling her hands. “Hey, Twinkle Toes, no more tears, okay?” I swiped away her tears and it’s like we were back in sixth grade, her broken body covered in her own blood, her mind in its own world and pure fear breaking through her tears. 

“Yo-you haven’t called me Twinkle Toes since that day.” She mumbled, wiping away her own tears and somehow managing to smear more blood on her face.

“You look the same.” My throat was closing up, so many regrets from that day. “But you’ve always been the baby sister, so you’re Twinkle Toes, even if you didn’t manage to wriggle out of this one, kiddo.” 

-Kioko Midoriya-

I leaned forward into a hug, no arms, just my head on my brother’s shoulder, before he pulled me into a real hug, rocking me as I cried, stroking my hair and muttering as usual. It felt like that stupid game had never happened, and we were still friends. “Put on a shirt, kiddo.” Came Bakugou’s voice, he saw the same thing we did, it was that day all over again, except this time, Kacchan was helping me. 

“Not your kiddo, Bakugou.” My normally sharp voice was dulled by the hoarseness, and the tears.

-Katsuki Bakugou-

“Good, I don’t want another little sister.” She looked so vulnerable, a part of me wanted to join the hug, or take her from Deku. But the larger part knows I can’t, I can’t touch her. Grabbing her hand earlier was a mistake. 

“Yeah, but if you’re gay for my brother here than you can’t really avoid it now can you?”

-Kioko Midoriya-

Izu pushed me away, lightly, not jarring me as I looked for Katsu’s reaction. His brain shut off. Radio silence as he stared at me, “I’m not gay. And this is getting weird, so I’m gonna go tell Mom you’re not gonna die so we can leave.” And he walked away, glancing at me before closing the door.

After I stood and finished cleaning up his brain must’ve reconnected with his body as he looked at me before grabbing my waist and pulling me close, he leaned close, “Sorry, sweetheart, but the girl I like is a firecracker.” My breath hitched in my throat, it’s not me. Right?

[lighthousenewsnetwork]

In a move that climatologists are calling "a valiant effort with a questionable carbon footprint," world leaders from across the globe are descending upon the picturesque Swiss Alps for the annual International Climate Summit. This year's summit, aptly themed "United We Stand (But Mostly Sit in First Class)," promises to be a landmark event, featuring passionate speeches, groundbreaking handshakes, and enough private jet emissions to melt a small European glacier. "There's nothing quite like the camaraderie of gathering with fellow world leaders, face-to-face, to discuss the existential threat of climate change," declared Prime Minister Nigel Fartsworth of Not-So-Great Britain, adjusting his cufflinks as he boarded his personal Boeing 787 Dreamliner. "Sure, there are some logistical hurdles involved – coordinating schedules, negotiating airfare for the security detail's llamas – but the sheer importance of this summit justifies burning a few metric tons of jet fuel." The summit's agenda boasts an innovative line-up focused on tackling climate change, with topics such as "Exploring the Feasibility of Carbon-Neutral Handshakes" and "Greenwashing 101: How to Make Your Country Look Eco-Friendly While Drilling for More Oil." However, the most anticipated event is the unveiling of the "Zoom Pledge," a groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by President Macron of France. This pledge, signed by a majority of attending world leaders, outlines their commitment to transitioning all future climate summits to video conferencing. "This is a revolutionary step in the fight against climate change," declared President Macron, adjusting his scarf with a flourish. "Think of the carbon emissions we'll save! No more pesky private jets, no more struggling with those pesky time zone differences – we can all just hop on Zoom in our pajamas and discuss ice caps melting while simultaneously avoiding rush hour traffic." While environmentalists cautiously applauded the "Zoom Pledge" as a step in the right direction, some expressed concerns about its practicality. "The effectiveness of international diplomacy hinges on nuance, body language," observed Greta Thunberg, climate activist extraordinaire, via a pre-recorded video message (sent to avoid the pesky carbon footprint of flying to the summit). "How are we supposed to sternly wag our fingers at Brazil for deforestation when all we see is a pixelated blur of President Bolsonaro in a poorly lit room?" Climate experts also voiced concerns about the potential for "Zoom fatigue" among world leaders, leading to decreased productivity and spontaneous outbreaks of air guitar solos during crucial climate negotiations. "Imagine Chancellor Merkel trying to negotiate carbon reduction targets with a glitching internet connection," shuddered Dr. Inga Von Schadensfreude, a leading climate scientist. "It wouldn't be pretty." However, supporters of the "Zoom Pledge" remain optimistic. "Think of the possibilities!" enthused a spokesperson for the International Association of Private Jet Manufacturers. "World leaders can attend multiple summits a day, hold meetings while tending to their prize-winning dahlias, and finally have an excuse to rock those hilarious cat ear filters during negotiations." The future of climate summits remains in question. Will the "Zoom Pledge" usher in a new era of environmentally-friendly diplomacy, or will it simply offer world leaders a new platform for grandstanding from the comfort of their home offices? Only time, and the ever-increasing instability of our planet's climate, will tell. In the meantime, concerned citizens are encouraged to do their part to combat climate change by taking shorter showers, riding bicycles made entirely of recycled kale chips, and maybe, just maybe, writing their elected officials a strongly worded email (carbon footprint: negligible) urging them to invest in sustainable energy solutions over first-class airline tickets.

How energy efficient is your home?

As summer arrives and central heating systems develop cobwebs, it might be easy to ignore thoughts about energy efficiency until the winter. However energy efficiency is something we should think about all year round. It is not just about keeping warm air in during cold weather but also ensuring we keep our homes cool during warmer weather. Here we answer your top questions.

What is energy efficiency?

Energy efficiency is about reducing the amount of energy output to provide the same level of heating or cooling. In other words it is about getting more bang for your buck!

Why is energy efficiency important?

What ways can I improve energy efficiency?

Insulation. An overlooked way of improving energy efficiency is insulating your home. If you turn on the central heating in an uninsulated home, the heat will quickly escape. This means burning more fossil fuels and wasting money. By properly insulating your property, the temperature in your home will be consistent all year round and keep the heat in. As an added bonus, insulation also keeps your home cool in the summer by stopping the property overheating. There are a variety of methods of insulation, including internal wall insulation external wall insulation, cavity wall insulation grant, floor insulation and roof insulation.

Having an efficient boiler. Additionally if you have an efficient boiler this can make a big difference. Boilers account for over 50% of a home’s energy bill and our A-rated boilers can save you up to £350 every year.

LED lights are another great way to boost energy efficiency. LED lights are far more efficient than fluorescent lights and consume less energy.

Using thicker curtains and keeping doors closed and draughts out are other simple measures we can all take that can make a big difference.

How do I tell if my home is energy efficient?

At the most basic level you can request an EPC assessment (Energy Performance Certificate). This is a rating scheme summarising the energy efficiency of your building, with a rating applied between A — G. This EPC will also include basic tips on the most cost-effective ways to improve your homes’ energy rating.

A better option is working with trusted experts like Zing Energy to provide a full audit. This involves a detailed analysis of your energy habits, including an in depth interview and test of the functioning of your energy system. We can offer bespoke advice, detailing the best way to start saving money and reduce your carbon footprint.

Are there any grants to improve energy efficiency?

This Eco grants UK was set up by the government to reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme obliges energy companies to improve the energy efficiency of low income, fuel poor households. It covers heating savings such as the replacement or upgrade of inefficient heating systems. We can advise you on the latest updates and quickly establish whether you are eligible.

There is also a variety of other grants available such as the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The RHI is a UK government scheme set up to encourage the uptake of renewable energy. The scheme was designed to compensate for the difference between costs of installing and operating renewable heating and fossil fuel systems.

Get in contact today to discuss how Zing Energy can help you improve your energy efficiency and save money.

Conquering the Beetle Invasion: Effective Strategies for Beetle Control

Gardening can be a wonderful and rewarding experience, but it can also be frustrating when dealing with pesky bugs like beetles. Beetles can damage your plants, often making holes or eating the leaves, and they can also ruin your bounty of vegetables and fruits. The good news is that with a little bit of know-how, you can take control and effectively manage beetle populations in your garden. Keep reading to find out more about how to combat these unwelcome pests.

Hey there, Tumblr fam! Gather 'round as I introduce you to the quirky and oh-so-fascinating world of beetles. Yes, you read that right. Beetles. Those tiny yet mighty creatures that roam our gardens, invade our homes, and leave us scratching our heads and wondering, What on earth do we do with these little buggers?

The Beetle Conundrum

Ah, beetles. Those six-legged wonders that seem to have an uncanny ability to make their way into every nook and cranny of our lives. Whether you're battling an infestation or simply trying to coexist peacefully, dealing with beetles can be a real head-scratcher.

But fear not, my fellow beetle enthusiasts! I'm here to share some insightful, witty, and engaging tips on how to handle these little critters. So buckle up and get ready for an entomological adventure like no other!

Know Thy Enemy: The Beetle

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of beetle wrangling, let's take a moment to appreciate these fascinating creatures. Did you know that there are over 350,000 known species of beetles? That's more than any other group of insects on the planet! Talk about diversity, right?

From the dazzling iridescence of the jewel beetle to the intricate patterns adorning the elytra of ladybugs, beetles come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Not to mention, they play crucial roles in our ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, and even as a vital part of the food chain.

Now that we have a newfound appreciation for beetles, let's move on to the burning question: How do we deal with them when they become a bit too much to handle?

Beetle Battle Strategies

1. Prevention is Key

As the old saying goes, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And when it comes to beetles, truer words were never spoken. To keep these little invaders at bay, here are a few preventive measures you can take:

Seal cracks and crevices: Beetles are masters of infiltration, so make sure to seal up any potential entry points into your home, such as gaps around windows, doors, and utility lines.

Store food properly: Keep your pantry free of beetle feasts by storing dry goods like flour, rice, and cereal in airtight containers.

Keep a tidy garden: Remove dead plant matter, trim overgrown foliage, and clear away any standing water to discourage beetles from setting up camp in your backyard.

2. Natural Remedies

When beetles persist despite your best preventive efforts, it's time to bring out the big guns – natural remedies! Here are a few tried-and-true methods to give those beetles a run for their money:

Neem oil: This natural insecticide derived from the neem tree is a beetle's worst nightmare. Dilute it with water and spray it on plants or directly on the beetles themselves.

Beneficial insects: Fight fire with fire, or in this case, beetles with beetles! Introduce predatory insects like ladybugs or ground beetles to your garden, and let nature take care of the rest.

Beer traps: Yes, you heard me right. Beetles have a weakness for beer, so set up some shallow dishes filled with the hoppy elixir to lure them away from your prized plants.

3. Seek Professional Help

If your beetle battles become a full-blown war and the natural remedies just aren't cutting it, it may be time to call in the professionals. Pest control experts have a plethora of tools and techniques up their sleeves to tackle even the most persistent beetle infestations.

Just remember, prevention and eco-friendly methods are always the way to go. But when all else fails, don't hesitate to seek assistance from those who know the ins and outs of beetle warfare.

Embracing the Beetles

When it comes down to it, beetles are an integral part of our world, whether we like it or not. Instead of viewing them as nuisances, we can choose to embrace their presence and learn from their remarkable adaptations and behaviors.

So next time you spot a beetle scurrying across your countertop or meandering through your garden, take a moment to appreciate their resilience and beauty. And if you're feeling particularly brave, maybe even offer them a tiny salute for their contribution to the intricate tapestry of life.

Conclusion

In the grand scheme of things, dealing with beetles is just another part of the wild ride we call life. By understanding their habits, implementing preventive measures, and resorting to eco-friendly remedies, we can coexist peacefully with our six-legged friends.

Remember, beetles may be small, but they are mighty. So let's tip our imaginary hats to these fascinating creatures and embrace the wonders they bring to our world – even if that means occasionally shooing them out of our homes or gardens.

That's all for today's entomological adventure, folks! Stay curious, stay beetle-aware, and until next time, happy bug hunting!
