I just binged NCIS: Hawai'i and I'm so bitter it got cancelled. This show is so good and deserves at least 8 seasons.

All Rise Season One Ep. One Thoughts

Spoilers Ahead

This is my first court-based show besides the first few seasons of Bull, which I will talk about here as well. I did decide to watch the show for two main reasons. 1. it was a new show on Max that I hadn't seen before and it was a case of the week style show that I love and 2. it has the actress of Catherine Willows from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in it. I will definitely give my thoughts on CSI here, as I love the show. But for All Rise, episode one was a great first episode of a court-based drama as it is not typically what one expects for a procedural show to focus solely on the court. The characters all have great chemistry with each other, and those that seem to have tension clearly do, and it doesn't seem forced as much as compared to the tension between Jess LeCroix and Kenny Crosby from FBI: Most Wanted Season One early episodes. Judge Carmichael has just been appointed to Judge, and this episode goes over her first court case no longer as an attorney but now as a Judge. The case presented before is fun as it looks at both police corruption and witnesses protecting families as they feel they have no other choice. The other case being presented by the Judge's friend Mark, the DA, is super fun. The defendant does a great job defending himself until Mark convinces him to shave the beard, which gets the conviction. While it was an underhanded trick by the DA to get a guilty verdict and not a great representation of a DA. It goes against the typical procedural trope of the defense being dirty players in the courtroom, so it was fun to see it subverted to the DA. I think the show from this episode has great potential, and I am interested in where it goes from here. All of the characters were great, and none of them felt over the top or immediately dislikable, which is good.

I haven't been really up to date with the things that aespa has been doing, but I got on a little bit of a binge these last two days and Girls slaps SO HARD. I loved that Karina described it as being influenced by TVXQ, because that was really the first reference that popped into my head. I love how much of a connection their sound and looks have to 1st gen, the futuristic looks, and you can see that they are inspired a lot by BOA, SES, TVXQ. That was such a fun time in kpop, i love it

yes!!!!!! thank u for also seeing the vision!!!!!!! love love love girls i have another ask where i'm gonna talk about it more bc its so fun and i love how throwback-y it is to first gen, like it was a continuation of the visual themes set by dreams come true! one of my fave cbs of last year for sure

#Lola Carmichael being a cutie-patootie in season 1 ep 14

[strang3lov3]

Motel Room

“C’mon, sweetheart, work with me here,” Benson whispers, his hot breath tickling your ear. “You’re only makin’ it worse for yourself. Quit squeezing on me so hard.”

Tags - dubcon/noncon, smut, unprotected piv, creampie, fingering, handjob, loss of virginity. fuck off about it i like what i like. dominant!benson, dirty talk, uhhhh idk idk idk. 2k words.

A/N - you know what the fuck is going on. i know this is a little bare bones and compared to my usual work but writing new characters is always a little tentative for me. just bear with me!

You follow behind Benson as he walks up the concrete motel stairs, a few steps behind him as. It’s a beautiful night, and the setting sun makes the sky colorful. Not for much longer, though. You can hear crickets and frogs, the neon sign from the motel buzzing. The air smells like gasoline and something sweet. Benson swears as he slaps a mosquito on the back of his neck, then wipes the dead bug on his pants. 

He walks all the way down to the last room, then unlocks the door, painted a vibrant pink, though it’s all fractured and chipped. Benson ushers you inside with a hand on your lower back, gently pinching you there. He’s just…like that, you suppose. He’s hard on everything he touches. Everything he gets his hands on ends up chipped or dirtied or cracked. You’re no exception.

Benson flops onto the made bed, springs squeaking with his weight. You take a seat on a stained chair in the corner, watching him under the flickering light of a nearby lamp. He grumbles something as he shifts, then lifts his hips and reaches into his pocket for a pack of cigarettes. He pulls one out and lights it, then puffs on it a couple of times before ashing it in the dirty crystal tray on the nightstand. 

Holding the cigarette between his pointer and middle fingers, Benson narrows his eyes at you as he takes another puff. He exhales, smoke curling up in front of his face, “So you just gonna sit there all night, or…?”

“Yeah, I–it’s fine,” you answer, switching the legs you have crossed. 

Benson smiles, lopsided and smug, and it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “No, it’s not. Come over here.”

You hesitate, and he holds up a hand, then beckons you by lazily curling his pointer finger. He doesn’t stop even as you stand up and cross the room. Not until you sit down on the edge of the bed does he drop his hand. 

You can feel him watching you. Benson’s a bit of a wallflower in that way, always watching. Staring. He’s so pensive, and god only knows what thoughts swim through that mind of his. Your gut tells you nothing nice, probably. 

You always had a tendency to attract people like him. Bad news, as your mom would say. He’s got this darkness attached to him like his own shadow, this sort of rottenness inside. You know he’s the beginning of a bad ending. 

“You can lay down, sugar. I’m not gonna bite you.” Benson’s smirking when you look at him. “Unless you want it. You want me to bite you?”

“N-no thanks,” you answer quietly, soft as a breath. Your timidness makes him laugh. 

“Oh, but you’re thinking about it, though. Aren’t you?”

You don’t answer him, but you do lay down against the other set of flat pillows. Benson grabs the remote and turns on the small TV, where Criminal Minds plays on some syndication channel that’s not CBS. The audio sounds tinny and weird, and the picture is fuzzy. You try to focus on that instead of the way it smells like dust in here, or the sticky and oppressive humidity. Apparently all the units with working AC had been taken. Benson sits up and pulls off his shirt, then unbuttons his jeans and sighs as he lies back down. 

Trouble is handsome. He’s got such big, strong biceps, veined all the way to his hands. He has a nice abdomen as well, with toned muscles that rise and fall with his steady breaths. You watch the ash from his cigarette fall onto his bare skin. Your eyes draw a line up his neck and to his face, where he watches the show intently. He’s one of those people who looks like he’s angry when he’s focused or deep in thought, eyebrows pinched together and a pout on his lips. Pinching and twirling the end of his mustache.

Benson cocks his head at you. “Like what you see?” You flinch, cheeks heating up at the accusation. “Take a picture and it’ll last longer.” 

“But you made me get rid of my phone, Benny.”

Benny makes a face as he nods, then stubs out his cigarette. “Should take off your clothes,” he tells you. “Can’t be too comfortable in this heat, huh?” He’s not wrong, though it’s less of a suggestion and more of a command. You sit up and slide off your hoodie, leaving it crumpled underneath yourself. “Shorts too,” he adds. “C’mon, now.” 

Your fingers shake as you unbutton your shorts slowly, then push them down past your thighs. Benson lets out a low whistle at the sight of your bare legs, craning his neck to get a look at your panties. 

He makes you flinch when he gets up and moves closer to you, when you feel his fingers against your bare skin. Benson reaches under your tank top and finds your bra, then unhooks it. “Bet this isn’t too comfy either.” He’s sliding his palms up your bare arms and reaching under for the straps, then pulling them down. “Shit, see? Look,” he comments, eyeing the marks your bra left in your skin. You shiver when he rubs over them with his thumb, and then he clicks his tongue and lays back down. 

You relax as much as you can in the…however many minutes it is that passes. Benson yawns loudly and inches closer to you in the bed. “Are you going to sleep?” you ask.

“Mmm, I don’t know.” Benson reaches for the remote and places it in your lap. “TV’s yours.”

You opt to turn off the TV, then turn off your lamp as well. You’re not gonna get much sleep tonight, but you might as well let your body rest. 

Some time passes where you and Benson lay in silence, until he disrupts it by tossing and turning, letting out frustrated grunts at the same time. You don’t know why you ask him if he’s okay. 

“Yeah, shit. I’m fine. Just got this fuckin’...this fucking thing that needs taken care of.”

“What?”

Benson sighs. “Yeah, just - can’t sleep unless I cum, is all. But I’m in a bit of a predicament, see, and don’t wanna be ungentlemanly by doing it next to you.” 

“Oh.” You wiggle away in the opposite direction of Benson, though he scoots closer to you. “I mean, th-there’s a bathroom–”

“Do you like to fuck yourself in the bathroom?”

You balk at the question. He’s so blunt. 

“I asked you a question,” Benson says, his voice low and intimidating.

“No,” you answer, finally. 

“Neither do I.” Benson flips on his side, and in the moonlight that pours in from the big window, you can see him. The elegant dip in his side between his ribs and his hip, and his face. So beautiful, for as awful as he is. He makes you breathe funny. 

“Oh, sugar. What am I gonna do with you?”

You say nothing as you stare at him, heart beating so hard you can feel it in your throat. Benson palms his bulge for a second, and even in the low light you can make out how big he is. 

Benson notices you looking. “Wanna feel it?” he whispers, smirking as your lips part and your mouth goes dry. “Yeah, you wanna feel it.” 

He takes your hand and opens your fist, then presses your palm against his clothed cock, noting your little gasp. He’s so warm. 

Benson can fucking smell it on you, your innocence. Your apprehension. Makes him all the more hungry for you. He always did have a voracious appetite, though. One of those people who could just eat and eat and eat. He could eat you, too. Devour you in his own way. 

He smiles in a way that’s so chilling as he squeezes his hand over yours, and then he pulls his naked cock out from the confines of his boxers. He’s as hard as ever, thick and long as his length slaps against his toned stomach. Benson puts your hand back on his length, encouraging you to give him a kind squeeze. “Mmm,” he hums on his exhale, and when he inhales, his cock twitches at your scent. “You a virgin?” he mumbles. 

“Benny–”

“Go on. You can tell me.” 

He nods knowingly when you tell him yes. Benson wraps his large hand around your wrist and moves your hand for you, “You go all the way up, all the way down, sweet pea,” he instructs. 

He feels heavy in your hand, slightly sticky with sweat from sweat. He keeps his hand on yours, guiding you through it. You pump him from base to tip, where his skin is wet with precum. 

Once you’ve got the hang of it and found the rhythm that he likes, Benson lets you go, only to use that hand to pull you closer. He reaches into your panties, and grins when he finds you wet. He rubs your clit, then slides his thick, calloused fingers through your folds until they’re prodding at your entrance. You gasp when he pushes them both inside you, and curls them repeatedly. “Oh, there she is. Look at that,” Benson says, watching the way you shudder and listening to your moans. 

He lays you on your back for better access, then pulls his fingers from your cunt, which are all slick from your arousal. Benson sucks them clean and hums at the taste of your pussy before pulling your panties down your legs and your top off of your torso. 

He enters you with his fingers again, sliding them in and out of you, scissoring them, then curling them again. Benson uses his thumb to rub your clit in circles, making your body writhe in pleasure. You’re fucking cute, the way you reach between your legs to hold his arm. What are you doing, exactly? Trying to stop him, temper him in some way? Do you really think that’ll work? 

Benson pulls his hand away and pumps his hard, leaking cock with his fist, using his precum and your slick to lubricate his length. “Spread your legs,” he grunts. 

You freeze, looking up at him with an anxious look in your eyes. “Go on,” he tells you. “Don’t make me count to ten or some bullshit.”

You swallow thickly as you comply with his demand, spreading your legs. Benson parts your thighs wider, then drags the head of his cock up and down your slick folds. He knows you’re scared of him. “Shhh,” he hushes, “It’s gonna be okay, baby.”

“Deep breath,” he says. Benson notches the tip inside you, and with the head of his cock fit snugly at your entrance, he begins to inch his way into you, only to be met with a resistance. You whimper at the pain of the stretch, clutching his sides tightly in your sweaty hands, pinching him.

“C’mon, sweetheart, work with me here,” Benson whispers, his hot breath tickling your ear. “You’re only makin’ it worse for yourself. Quit squeezing on me so hard.” 

“It just–it hurts, Benny.”

“Oh, sure, sure,” he nods, taking your chin between his thumb and forefinger, holding it in a less than gentle way. Benson looks so scary and handsome as he scans your face - blue eyes gorgeous as ever, but they’re so dark, and so empty. He loves the way your eyes dart left and right, so wide and nervous. Sparkling with everything that his own lack. “I get it. But you’re gonna be a good girl, right? Gonna take it nice for me?”

Feeling compelled to comply, you nod. 

“Bite me if you need to,” he says. Benson starts to work his way into you again, loving those desperate, pained noises you make. “Halfway there. You got this.”

“Benny, wait–” Benson tilts his head as you squirm. “Can you–can you kiss me, maybe?” 

He pauses and then smiles, eyes crinkling while dimples appear in his cheeks. “Can do, sweetheart. C’mere.” 

He presses his lips against yours, moving them slowly before slipping his tongue into your mouth. For as rough around the edges as he is, he’s soft and gentle in how he kisses. The way Benson kisses you serves as a distraction as he fits his cock inside you the rest of the way, bottoming out with a grunt. “Yeah, fuck yeah,” he whispers, drawing out of you. 

He slides into you again, filling you with his length. Benson sets a steady and deep pace, where the tip of his cock kisses your cervix with each stroke. It takes a moment for the pain to dissipate but it does, eventually. 

He moans your name as he dips his head to kiss the flesh of your breast. Benson sucks one of your nipples into his mouth, then kisses across the valley of your chest and does the same to the other. “Such a good girl,” he praises quietly, groaning at the way your cunt pulses around him. 

With a little more of his thrusting, a little more of that intentional, practiced way he rolls his hips, where his thick bush grinds against your clit, you’re cumming. Making little noises as you grip him tight, hips involuntarily rocking to match his pace. Benson cums next, fucking you harder and quicker now. His balls tighten just before his release, and he groans loud and guttural as he fills you with his spend.

The U.S. Is Now Sending Nonviolent Migrants to Guantanamo Bay—This Should Alarm You

What’s Happening?

It’s happening. The United States is no longer just sending violent criminals to Guantanamo Bay—low-risk, nonviolent migrants are now being detained there as well.

Despite publicly claiming that only the “worst of the worst” would be held in Guantanamo, the Trump administration has quietly begun transferring nonviolent asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants to the facility. According to CBS News, AP News, and The New York Times, many of these migrants have little to no criminal history. Some don’t even have any legal offenses beyond simply being undocumented—which, under U.S. law, is a civil violation, not a crime.

Guantanamo Bay, infamous for housing alleged 9/11 conspirators and suspected terrorists, is now being repurposed as a detention center for innocent people fleeing violence and poverty. And this is only the beginning—more transfers are already scheduled.

Why This Should Terrify You

The detention of nonviolent migrants in Guantanamo Bay is a dangerous escalation of anti-immigration policies, and here’s why:

A Legal and Ethical Nightmare: Guantanamo Bay operates under different legal standards than the mainland U.S., meaning detained migrants may face indefinite detention without due process.

A Dark Expansion of Executive Power: This sets a precedent for mass detention of vulnerable populations under the guise of “national security.” If migrants can be sent to Guantanamo today, who will be next?

A Humanitarian Crisis in the Making: Guantanamo Bay is notorious for human rights abuses, and keeping asylum seekers in such a facility is both cruel and unnecessary.

A Step Toward Normalizing Mass Incarceration of Migrants: The U.S. already detains thousands of asylum seekers in ICE facilities—now, the government is pushing the boundaries even further.

This isn’t just about immigration. It’s about human rights, unchecked government power, and the erosion of democratic values.

Why This Matters to You

If you’re a young person, a woman, or part of a marginalized community, you should pay attention. This isn’t just about “border control”—this is about setting legal precedents that could affect all of us.

Today, it’s migrants. Tomorrow, it could be activists, journalists, or political opponents. Expanding detention policies under the banner of “security” historically leads to broader repression.

This is a test run for more authoritarian policies. The government is seeing how far it can go without public backlash. If we don’t push back, they’ll keep going.

Your tax dollars are funding human rights violations. The U.S. is spending millions to expand Guantanamo’s detention capabilities instead of investing in humane immigration solutions.

The Bigger Picture

The detention of nonviolent migrants in Guantanamo is part of a much larger trend: the global rise of authoritarian policies disguised as national security measures. This is not just about Trump—it’s about the broader shift towards an America where human rights and civil liberties are secondary to political power.

Internationally, we’ve seen this playbook before. Governments begin with demonizing a vulnerable group, then expand repression tactics under the guise of “keeping the country safe.” It’s happening here, now.

What Can You Do?

Spread the word. Most Americans don’t even know this is happening. Share this information, talk about it, and demand media coverage.

Pressure lawmakers. Contact your representatives and demand action against the inhumane detention of migrants.

Support organizations fighting for migrant rights. Groups like the ACLU, RAICES, and Human Rights Watch are actively working to hold the government accountable.

Stay informed. The situation is evolving, and silence only helps those in power. Follow updates from trusted sources and keep the conversation going.

We are witnessing history, and not the kind we want to tell future generations about. If we don’t act now, we risk normalizing an era where Guantanamo Bay isn’t just for accused terrorists—it’s for anyone the government deems inconvenient.

The time to speak out is now.

i saw a pb x cb post so i got curious, is it ok to ship them? i tried to find out by myself with searching but all the thing of pb being an adult but young adult/late teenager mentally and cb being a 10 year old but a mid teenager/late teenager mentally gets me a bit confused

im gonna use this post to talk about the characters ages again! (no shade to this person in particular, ive just been getting a lot of questions abt it recently.)

when discussing ages, a lot of fans refer to this post i made a while back:

i'd have no problems with this but a lot of people who use this image seem to disregard/forget the bottom paragraph? its mainly my fault for not being good enough while explaining, which i apologize for. but i want to use this to better explain what i meant here:

charger block and crown are NOT actual 10 year old children; when i say that they are 10 and 9, i'm saying that they have EXISTED for 10 and 9 years. even when they were 0 years old, their mannerisms and such were the same as they are today, and may even remain the same when they reach the age 500+.

for example, a character that was created yesterday is only a day old but they may still have the resemblance and maturity of an adult. this is how it worked for michael and sean: since their creations, they have always resembled adults. the characters in LOTS do not age the same as actual people do.

with this in mind, ever since their creations, cb and crown have always resembled teenagers! so while not real children, they're still a bit on the younger side.

so, use this for a better reference:

charger blocks maturity resembles that of a 16-17 year old.

crowns maturity resembles that of a 18-20 year old.

michael, sean, and pipe bomb are fully adults!

this does not mean that a characters mental age WILL stay the same forever, however! it's possible that we will see maturity in cb and crown as the show goes on; don't forget, theyre stuck with a job for 500 years!!! but for now, this is who they are.

so what about the actual question above? well, i anticipated seeing a ship of pb and cb rise after 1C. it's not one i exactly look forward to seeing like many others, so i'd prefer people take a different direction when it comes to that relationship.

and please please, if you see someone who enjoys the ship but is possibly unaware of the ages, DONT get upset!!! it's not their fault that they haven't seen a random post clarifying the ages that only 5% of LOTS fans see!!! if you want to, politely inform them. if they don't care, leave them alone and move on!! they wont change their mind as you won't change yours!!

so theres that! i hope this doesn't leave more questions than answers like last time, but dont be afraid to ask for further clarification!

Common Celebrity Placements (MAGHA EDITION)

Magha is common top three (Sun, Moon or Rising) for celebrities who are the top of their niche.

Dolly Parton - Magha Moon. The queen of country music.

Michael Jackson - Magha Sun. The ultimate King of Pop. I doubt anyone will top his fame.

Aaliyah - Magha Moon. She is considered the princess of RnB and many artists nowadays have been directly inspired by her music.

Justin Timberlake - Magha Rising and often called the "Prince of Pop".

You may have noticed there is a theme with these celebrities being called the queen/king or prince/princess of their genres/niches. This is due to Magha relating to ancestry, but specifically, ancestral royalty. The symbol of this nakshatra is the throne/palaquin. It is inherent within them to rule whilst sitting upon a throne.

Similarly, the animal being the male eagle talks to the amazing foresight these people have - which is a trait all the most famous rulers have. Michael Jackson famously wrote down everything he wanted to happen in his life, and he fulfilled it. This action shows how an Magha individual is able to use their innate ability to achieve their goals.

From Michael Jackson's letter penned in 1979:

"MJ will be my new name. No more Michael Jackson. I want a whole new character, a whole new look. I should be a tottally [sic] different person. People should never think of me as the kid who sang "ABC," [or] "I Want You Back." I should be a new, incredible actor/singer/dancer that will shock the world. I will do no interviews. I will be magic. I will be a perfectionist, a researcher, a trainer, a masterer [sic]. I will be better than every great actor roped into one." - source, CBS.

If you hear a celebrity being likened to royalty then there is a high chance they have prominent Magha placements!

My thoughts on All Rise S1 Ep 5 Spoilers Ahead

This episode is wedding day where multiple couples go to get married. This is Judge Carmichael's first wedding day. The couple needs to be married as the wife is in labor which does annoy me as the pregnancy trope is overdone in procedurals but instead of being a stress tactic it is for a marriage scene. Lola decides to go see what court costs are and then gets ambushed by an angry citizen. The woman is angry about her husband being thrown in jail and now her son is up on charges. The Church is shown is a good light pretty heavy handedly in the episode.

Emily is dealing with a case involving the Catholic Church and stealing. The defendant is a nun but does have dyed hair which is feared to be a detractor for her in front of the jury. Emily has an issue with her engagement ring being asked to give back to but got stuck on her finger. It is also discovered that Emily had a rosary as a child from baptism thus also connecting her to the Catholic Church. The defendant is covering up for another nun who is guilty but because of her faith she is unwilling to throw Sister Miranda under the bus. Emily is dealing with her religious guilt over her divorce and breaking her promise in front of god. We get to see more of Emily and Lola's friendship as they discuss Emily's guilt.

Mark is dealing with a dine and dasher who leaves men with large bills. The court case is between Mark and his rival and framed as a love interest Amy Quinn. The defendant Margo is flirting with the Judge and the Judge responds to the flirting with flirting back. It is a preliminary hearing so it is for the State to make their case.

This was a difficult episode as you understand where Sister Phoebe is coming in regards to defending Sister Miranda and her faith is common in individuals. Mark got crushed in court by Quinn as a result of his witnesses being asked argumentative questions.

A large majority of Republicans think that President-elect Donald Trump will lower grocery costs, according to a new poll. Trump himself said that would be “very hard.”

Three-quarters of Republicans said grocery costs would go down under Trump, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll. On the other hand, 68% of Democrats expected prices to rise. Independent voters were less sure, with 39% saying they expected an increase, 35% expecting a decrease, and 26% figuring the costs won’t change at all. The poll has a sample size of 2,244 American adults. The margin of error is 2.4%.

Despite campaigning on lowering the cost of groceries, Trump seemed to backtrack in his Time magazine Person of the Year interview.

I just want to know what the swat social media team thinks of all the Lou fans suddenly coming onto their page and talking about Lou and asking for more Rocker.

Have they heard about the 911 fuck up?

Have they talked to Lou like "Wtf did you do??"

And the cbs execs just seeing a rise in media engagement wondering what gives.

Everyone is just confused as fuck, and meanwhile Lou is just vibing and living his best life.
