This put me in the feels 🫠
You and your group had finally scored a win. After so many days of travelling without a destination in mind, just the hope of finding a safe haven to rebuild your lives, Rick and Daryl stumbled upon the prison. It was a chance for you all to bunker down and grow some roots. Have a life without constantly being on the run.
It was here, a few months later, when you all thought you were safe from the walkers, no other communities nearby, where war was declared by an egotistical psychopath who called himself the Governor. He started a war against your family for control over youse and to take the prison. He was blinded by rage, so much so he lead his people blindly a battle.
Losses were gained and mourned on both sides. Both groups held their ground, desperate to keep hold of the life they started to build. Forcing the governor to retreat, a party was sent out to follow to finish what was started. Where your group stumbled upon the massacre, orchestrated by the one they placed their trust in.
Rick took mercy on the survivors back at their stronghold, offering them a place at the prison as long as they contributed to the new ways of life.
Amongst the group brought in, one guy in particular, Dominic, took a special interest in you. You never understood why. Ever since he came back and joined your family at the prison he’s been persistent in his attempts to get into your pants. Which unbeknownst to you, made someone’s blood boil as they silently seethed in the background, watching, wishing he’d do something to show him you’ll never be his.
**** ****
Stretching out, my back cracks deliciously as I shield my eyes from the burn of the sun coming in through the small window. I groan as I sit up, trying wake up. Like every other day, today was going to be long.
Padding out into the area we use as the dining hall I approach Carol, who’s cooking up breakfast. “Morning,” I yawn.
“Morning,” Carol greets as she hands me a plate, motioning me off to go sit down and eat.
I take a seat across from Rick who’s talking to Daryl and Hershel, planning the days work and the importance of resuming clearing out the bodies of the walkers. Rick glances up at me, lips forming a smile in greeting.
“Y/N, I need you to give Daryl and I and the rest a hand with cleaning up,” Rick informs me as I begin shovelling food into my mouth.
Glancing up at him I suppress a groan at my least favourite task, nodding in agreement. Hearing the door open across the room, I glance up to see Dominic walk in beside Tyrese, when our eyes meet he throws me a wink before retrieving a plate of his own. I give him a small smile before I focus my attention back to my food. Like always he plops down next to me, closer then need be.
“Morning, beautiful,” he greets. The only acknowledgment I give him is a nod of my head. Wishing I could just eat in peace. I was too tired for conversation.
“Dominic, I want you on the fence,” Ricks gruff reply comes and I glance up, confused. The vein on the side of his neck is protruding and his one hand on the table is clenched.
“Ah, sorry was planning on giving Y/N a hand today,” he remarks.
Rick bristles at the challenge. “We have enough people clearing out the bodies. I want you on the fence,” Rick stares him down, as though begging him to say something against his orders.
Shrugging in defeat Dominic just nods. “Well then, guess I’ll see you later sometime beautiful,” he gives my hand a squeeze, resting it there for longer then needed before he takes his empty plate to the wash basin.
Finishing up my own breakfast I deposit my own plate, walking back to my cell to grab my knives and hand gun. Knives strapped to me where they belong I follow Rick into the other cell block where the dead bodies are waiting.
“He bothering you?” He suddenly questions. At my confused glance he shakes his head, elaborating. “Dominic.”
“Oh, no he’s fine, little harmless flirting ain’t hurting no one,” I tease, bumping my shoulder into his.
“Maybe I should start flirting with ya then,” he drawls. Catching me off guard my feet stumble beneath me, causing me to almost trip over.
Reaching out to steady me Rick pulls me back, hand in my forearm, a teasing grin on his face as he appraises me. Being this close to him made me realise how blue and beautiful and his eyes shine.
Ricks always been a beautiful specimen, everyone drools over him when he’s out working in the sun. Curls sticking to his forehead. Sweat dripping down him, causing his shirt to stick to his toned body. Bronze skin glowing under the rays of the sun.
Snapping out of my trance I realise I’d been staring at Rick. Though to be fair he seems to be in a trance of his own as his eyes roam my face, eyes gentle.
Clearing my throat I snap him back to reality as I take a step back, nodding my head in the direction of the cell.
Upon arrival, I couldn’t suppress the groan that bubbled up my throat at the amount of bodies that needed to be piled outside. “Let’s get this over with.”
I approach the closest walker, bending to grab its arm as Rick grabs its legs, helping me drag it outside.
**** ****
Countless of walkers later, suns rays finally letting up, I all but collapse onto the grass, wiping the sweat from my forehead. I lay back down on the grass closing my eyes as I enjoy the slight breeze. Hearing movement beside I open my eyes and my gaze falls upon the appreciative smile of Dominic’s as he eyes me.
“Hey,” I politely greet, resting my eyes again.
“Hey, you’re looking more beautiful then ever,” he teases beside me.
Laughing at him I sit up properly. “I’m so sore, I just want to crawl into bed and sleep tomorra away,” I groan as I stretch the muscles of my shoulders.
“Turn around, I’ll massage them for you. After the day you had it’ll feel amazing,” he promises. Too tired to argue I turn my back to him, facing the pile where I see Rick and Daryl whispering to one another.
Dominic’s hands land on my shoulders and begin kneading, thumbs also massaging my shoulder blades. My eyes threaten to close as my body completely relaxes at how good it feels. Yet before they fully close I notice Rick watching us over Daryl’s shoulder. He looks worked up. Eyebrows furrowed and fists once again clenched as though somethings bothering him.
I tilt my head in confusion at him, silently asking if everything was okay. I see him take a step forward towards you but Daryl braces his hands on his shoulders and seems to be furiously whispering to him but Ricks whole attention is locked on mine.
As Dominic continues massaging my shoulders, his thumb presses into a knot, making my head drop back onto his shoulder. I groan out as he works on kneading the knot out. Hearing footsteps approaching my head lifts and eyes snap open.
“Y/N. Can I talk to you?” Rick growls out, stalking away towards the side of the prison before I can respond.
I glance over my shoulder at Dominic and cast him an apologetic smile, telling him I’d meet him inside. Standing up I trail after Rick, noticing the way his body seems to be thrumming with tension.
“Rick?” I tentatively approach him, being cautious with the way he’s been acting. “Everything okay?”
When Rick refuses to respond I step up closer to him, reaching out a hand to rest on his forearm as I try to speak again. “Ric-“ I’m cut off as he spins towards me and grips my forearms, shoving me into the wall of the prison.
Before I can speak Ricks mouth is upon mine, fast and desperate, almost needy as I stand there frozen in shock. As he continues to move against me, I snap out of my daze and fervently move my lips against his, hands reaching up to cup his cheeks.
Rick presses my body against the wall, breaking the kiss to look down out me with so much tenderness in his eyes I’m unable to speak. “What’s wrong?” You try again.
“I couldn’t stand the sight of him touching you any longer. The way he so desperately pines for your attention,” he growls out, resting his forehead against mine as he breathes heavily. “I want all your attention. To be the one to make you laugh. To be the one to massage you after a tiring day of work.”
“Oh, Rick,” I press my lips back against his. This kiss is soft and gentle, conveying words both of you are not get ready to voice into the open air.
The dying sun behind Rick casts its last breath over his skin, making his blue eyes shine so prominently. He looked so irrevocably handsome.
“There’s never been anything between Dominic and I. He may have feelings for me but they’re nothing I feel for him but friendship,” I feel the need to reassure him.
Smiling down at me he laces my fingers with me, pulling me away from the wall. “Come on, it’s getting dark. Let’s go eat.”
Walking into the dining hall hand in hand with Rick felt normal, as though we’ve held hands many times before. I felt giddy walking beside with his hand in mind, his thumb stroking the back of my hand, content.
Yet as we enter the room, everyone’s gaze locks onto our interlaced hands. Conscious at the states I shrink and try to pull my hand from his grip but Rick doesn’t allow it. He tightens his hold, confidently walking us over to Carol where he passes me a plate before grabbing one for himself.
He walks us over to his usual table with Daryl and Hershel and those on the council. As we walk I notice Dominic’s gaze locked onto our hands as he enters the room. I pray to whatever God out there that he doesn’t do anything to antagonise Rick.
Dominic’s usual swagger seems to deflate as his eyes flicker between Rick and I. Almost possessively Rick seems to tug me in closer to his side when he notices Dominic. The action causes warmth to spread over my body.
I loved the way Rick staked his claim. Unabashedly telling Dominic and anyone else watching I was his and he was mine.
When we sat down, side by side I glanced up to see Daryl’s eyes on us, a smirk tugging at his lips as he nods to me. I tentatively smile back before Rick one again steals my whole attention as he converses with Hershel.
The way he unintentionally reeks strength and dominance. I shifted closer to him, clasping his hand underneath the table to feel his skin on mine. I couldn’t contain my smile when he turned and kissed my forehead. I felt safe with him. Content.

The Sacramento Kings have made the NBA postseason for the first time since 2006. What’s changed?
The Sacramento Kings have made the NBA postseason for the first time since 2006. What’s changed? By Thomas Schlachter, CNN CNN — Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” was topping the Billboard Hot 100, Owen Wilson had just made his debut as Lightning McQueen in “Cars” and Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray was counting down the days to his sixth birthday. May 2006 was a long time ago and for all those involved with the Kings, it must feel like even longer. Sacramento has not played an NBA postseason game in almost 17 years but after turning a corner this season, fans in the Golden 1 Center will finally have something to cheer for after the 82 games of the regular season conclude. The Kings clinched a playoff berth following the team’s 120-80 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. They now sit with a record of 46-30 and become the third team to secure a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, joining the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies. With De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis leading a new era in Sactown, there is hope that the return to the NBA Playoffs isn’t just a flash in the pan, but a sign of things to come for future years. Trading places There were a lot of questions raised when the Kings opted to trade brilliant, young point guard Tyrese Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers in early 2022. Haliburton was drafted No. 12 by the Kings and was seen by many as the point guard of the future for the franchise. The 6-foot-5-inch playmaker was named to the 2021 NBA All-Rookie First Team and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting after his first season in the league. After averaging 13 points, 5.3 assists and three rebounds in his first year, Haliburton kept up the pace during his sophomore season and recorded a career-high 38 points and 17 assists early into his second year. However, the Kings began to have concerns over his long-term fit with Fox in their backcourt and a subsequent blockbuster trade sent Haliburton to the Pacers. Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson followed the guard to the Hoosier State with Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, a 2023 second-round pick and, most importantly, Sabonis heading to California. Like Fox alongside Haliburton, Sabonis was a star in a team which was not particularly well constructed around his skillset. The Lithuanian has excelled since arriving in Sacramento and is having one of his best years in the NBA in the 2022/23 season. Sabonis – son of Hall of Fame center Arvydas Sabonis – is averaging career highs in rebounds and assists at the time of writing and returned to the All-Star team for already the third time in his young career. Speaking to The Athletic shortly after his trade, it seemed that the 7-foot-1-inch star knew there were good things waiting for the Kings. Sabonis said: “They brought me here, and we want to change things, you know? “It’ll be a lot of fun. It’s just little by little, I think we’re doing great things and going in the right direction. We’re gonna have a big summer – we’ve been talking about it. And then we’ll have a good training camp and get all the people together, you know?” All change in the off-season After a dismal start to the 2021/22 season, Luke Walton was fired from his role as the Kings’ head coach. Walton was replaced by veteran coach Alvin Gentry on an interim basis and upon the completion of the campaign, the 68-year-old was also let go. The Kings then appointed the associate head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Mike Brown, as their new head coach before the start of the 2022/23 season. Brown had just won an NBA championship with the Warriors after a finals win against the Boston Celtics, and was tasked with bringing some of his winning know-how to Sactown. The 53-year-old has completely overhauled how the Kings approach the game and has turned the franchise into one of the most exciting offenses in the league. Along with Brown, guard/forward Kevin Huerter and shooting guard Malik Monk became key pieces for the Kings and No. 4 draft pick Murray also joined up with the squad. It is no surprise that the arrival of these pieces has coincided with the overhaul of the Kings’ offense. Since moving to the West Coast, Huerter and Murray are shooting over six threes a game, and both are draining shots from deep at over 40%. Monk is just slightly behind the pair in terms of three-pointers attempted (3PA) and three-point percentage (3P%) but helps demonstrate how far this Kings offense has come and the planning that went into building the squad. The Kings ranked 21st in terms of three-point attempts-per-game last season while also shooting from deep at a 24th-rated 34.4%. This term, Brown’s team has climbed to seventh in the 3PA rankings with 36.9 attempts a game at a clip of 37.4% – eighth best in the NBA – again demonstrating the offensive changes that have been made. Another contributing factor to the Beam Team’s success are the performances of Fox in the clutch. The brilliant 25-year-old is on top of the NBA’s Clutch Player Ladder and has been vital in helping his side grind out crucial wins in key moments of the season. Attack is the best form of defense So far this season, the Kings have led the league in points-per-game with a staggering 120.9. Last season, the Kings finished 16th in this ranking, averaging just 110.3 points per outing. The transition the team has made and the additions to the roster have been vital in terms of their increased offensive numbers. Summing up the franchise, the Kings top the offensive rating rankings but sit 26th in terms of defensive rating – demonstrating their all-out attack mentality. This was encapsulated in their record-breaking game against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the second highest scoring matchup in NBA history, the Kings won 176-175 in an incredible offensive display. Fox scored 42 and added 12 assists with Monk leading the team in scoring with an impressive 45 from the bench with six threes. ‘Light the beam!’ The fans at the Golden 1 Center have completely bought into the project and have also played their part in the Kings’ success this season. After every home win, the Kings project a huge purple beam into the sky, in what has become a key part of the culture created at the franchise. With a win approaching, the entire arena erupts with chants of “LIGHT THE BEAM! LIGHT THE BEAM!” which has created a social media sensation. While some opposing teams and fans have used this to mock the Kings if they lose a game, the beam has helped create a special relationship between the fans and the franchise. Whatever happens to Sacramento in the playoffs, it has turned things around this year while capturing the hearts of its fans by playing run-and-gun, fearless basketball. Everyone in Sactown will be hoping they continue to light the beam throughout the postseason. Read the full article

Kinktober day 17. Food.
(Island of Java - January 1961)
Tyrese sat on Joel's lap, their bodies pressed together intimately as they shared an afternoon tea in the dining hall, the air was filled with the delicate scent of jasmine tea and the sweet fragrance of klepon.
Joel's large hands rested on Tyrese's slender waist. Tyrese picked up a klepon with his fingers and brought it to Joel's lips."Open your mouth", he chuckled, his eyes shimmering with mirth.
Joel complied, and as the klepon entered his mouth, he tasted the burst of sweetness from the palm sugar, the texture of the chewy rice flour, and the subtle hint of coconut coating. His chapped lips closed around Tyrese's fingers, lingering for a moment before releasing them.
"Delicious", Joel murmured. "Your hands make everything taste better."
Tyrese blushed, red spreading across his light olive skin. He picked another klepon, this time for himself. The sweet syrup oozed out, dribbling down his chin. Joel's eyes darkened with desire. He leaned in, capturing the fallen syrup with his tongue, sweeping over Tyrese's lip, cleaning every trace of it. Tyrese's heartbeat quickened, his breath hitched. The sensation of Joel's tongue and beard against his skin made him shiver.
"You taste even sweeter," Joel whispered, his voice thick with lust.

1992 #CVReview
What a good waste of ten dollars. "1992" is yet another film set during the L.A. riots, but I'd rather watch Halle Berry bedwench to Daniel Craig in "Kings" again than to have spent the money I did to see this picture. Tyrese spent the film portraying a golem that protects asian store owners and Beverly Hills adjacent 2 in my old Crenshaw stomping grounds. The obvious problem with this is that Tyrese essentially portrays a boomer with boomer idealogies that do not have the opportunity of Pan-Africanism but the reservations of 60's Civil Rights activism through intergration which left a sense of self-hatred within the U.S. negroid population. First "Cocaine Bear" and now this? Ray Liotta starred in some really shitty films before his death, and once again was the highlight of the cast. The rest of the cast comprised of Antoine Bey who portrayed Tyrese's son - reminded me too much of Shaft's son in the most recent addition to the series : weak, crying sobbing and annoying; too annoying to actually want to see survive. Which was an affliction that all the characters including Liotta's suffered from - none of the characters were likeable or had any redeeming qualities. I wanted to feel for Tyrese's struggle as a single father, but I couldn't empathize because I am not that. I wanted to empathize for the protagonists' son, but he was too much of a crybaby for me to get behind him with my own experience growing up in South Central. The race-baiting that surrounded the film didn't click with me since I do not see the U.S. as a home but as an origin point. How could I as a negroid ever recognize a European country as a home? So the Rodney King paralells to George Floyd - drug addicts, mudshark chasers, shit I dont identify with - did not rouse me like it would have in my teens. If anything, "1992" showed me how much I've grown since leaving the LAnd nearly a decade ago. I wondered why there was a modern Snoop record at the top of the film when it was set in '92 and a "Chronic" record would have opened the film more appropriately. But as the film wrapped with the source piece of "The Chronic" 's classic single "Li'l Ghetto Boy", I recognized the new Snoop piece was fitting. Because no matter what, L.A. will never change. And that's not a good thing, when this weekend there were riots in my LAnd over a shot down repairations bill. It seems that's all my fellow Angeleno's know how to do - tear up my city of origin, but never doing enough to lead a full insurrection. It's a pitiful, just like this film was. When I saw the Death Row logo and Tyrese on the bill, I felt proud to be supporting Afro-centric cinema but when for the duration of the film the only people that were getting mutilated and murdered were negroids and the people that were getting defended and commitung atrocities scott-free until the final half hour, I found "1992" to be janky and as much of an exploitative cash-grab based on negroid male pain as a film set in the Antebellum-era, and I stopped watching those films nearly a decade ago.
As I said previously, a lot can change in nearly a decade's time, but L.A. won't. Which is why l won't be revisiting my land of origin like I find no need to revisit this film.

Charles Barkley says he turned down 'minimum of $100 million' to stay with TNT
New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/16/charles-barkley-says-he-turned-down-minimum-of-100-million-to-stay-with-tnt/
Charles Barkley says he turned down 'minimum of $100 million' to stay with TNT
After the NBA signed a new rights deal with ESPN, NBC and Amazon Prime, Charles Barkley could have gone there, also — but he opted to stay home.Barkley has been an NBA analyst on TNT since 2000, and once it started to look like TNT would no longer broadcast the league’s games, Barkley announced that the upcoming season would be his final one.He backtracked later on, eventually stating that he would be with the network as long as the NBA would be on it, and he’d work with TNT leadership to develop new shows and additional sports content.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut, as far as the network’s relationship with the NBA is concerned, TNT feels they have not been able to fairly match the new rights deal, thus leading to a lawsuit, and the likely ending of Barkley’s broadcasting work in the NBA.Barkley, though, has insisted that he would not leave for another network, and this week, he revealed he turned down nine figures to go elsewhere.The Hall of Famer said on “The Dan LeBatard Show” he turned down “a minimum of $100 million” in order to stay at TNT.Barkley said the experience was “really humbling and cool.”PACERS STAR TYRESE HALIBURTON POKES FUN AT LACK OF OWN PLAYING TIME AT OLYMPICS”It was a great feeling, and I wanna thank all those networks for reaching out to me…” he said. “But even though they were throwing crazy numbers — I was like, ‘Damn!’ — but as long as I got my people safe at TNT, I feel really good.”Last month, the NBA rejected a bid from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), TNT’s parent company, to exercise its right to match an offer from Amazon for a part of the league’s 11-year, $76 billion media rights deal. Shortly after the announcement, WBD filed a lawsuit under seal in New York County Supreme Court. Ernie Johnson serves as the moderator on TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” while Barkley, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and two-time NBA champion Kenny “The Jet” Smith provide analysis. Barkley’s long-term commitment will see him “exclusively contribute to TNT Sports for many years to come,” per the news release.TNT did recently land the rights to some College Football Playoff games, and the network will also serve as the U.S. broadcasting home for the French Open tennis tournament beginning in 2025. The pivot to tennis and college football could be viewed as a way for the network to try and fill the hole that would be left behind from the loss of the NBA.Fox News’ Chantz Martin contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
