Can you do adhd!reader with max?

a/n: since adhd is very different in men and women I will be using the most typical symptoms and behaviors provided in the DSM5. unfortunately, most of these behaviors and symptoms do fall under the category of males and children. there is still research to be done for females as there is a lack of diagnosis and understanding of adhd behaviors in women. if you would like to learn more about adhd, I would recommend reading the DSM5 or the APA.

ever since you were child you struggled with sitting still and paying attention. you were told it was common in young children, and most of them would ‘phase’ out of it, but for you? that never happened.

attention hyperactivity deficit disorder was a taunting name. always mocking you because you always felt the tasks at hand never got finished. luckily enough, medication was able to help you in some aspects, but you still significantly struggled.

max, your very loving boyfriend, didn’t quite understand how troubling the symptoms you experienced were, but he was always there to help remind you of medications, where you put things, the task at hand, etc. he knew how important it was that he didn’t try to minimize you or make you feel incapable. but he did have to overstep when things went south.

which leads you to your current situation. you standing there rummaging the kitchen in search for where you could’ve possibly put your water bottle. you knew it was somewhere, the kitchen was the last place you could remember having it, but it was not in the obvious places you could have put it.

“can you tell me what you were doing before you lost it?”

“I don’t remember, if I did don’t you think I would’ve found it by now?” you snap beginning to feel the urges to pull everything out of every cabinet and drawer to find it, but maxs hand on your shoulder is enough to remind you to not let the impulsive thought win.

“are you sure it’s in the kitchen? why don’t we check the bathroom.” his voice is soothing despite how you just reacted to him. you nod following him, you’re sure it’s not there but you just give in and allow him to search every space of the room.

“I knew it wasn’t here, I know I put it in the kitchen.” you move into the kitchen hearing the timer on your phone go off, and unfortunately you couldn’t remember what it was for. your mind is in a split fighting the urge to keep searching for the water bottle, but to now figure out why your phone was ringing.

“was I making something?” you ask yourself beginning to open the oven, toaster oven, air fryer, and microwave until you see max come out of the laundry room with fresh sheets and your water bottle.

“I found it you left it on top of the dryer.” he places it in front of you on the kitchen island, you mumble a ‘thank you’ before going to help fold the sheets.

“I swear I’d lose my brain if it wasn’t attached.” you sit down beside him on the couch watching him fold the sheets.

he just laughs slightly nodding, “but I’d be there to help you find it.”

Color me surprised that Alastor and Valentino coexist so well. You always seemed... diametrically opposed.

I concur, I never would have believed that I would.. be able to tolerate him so well.

See i TOLD you it was a good idea to partner with him 11 years ago!

Yes, yes, you win, good job, whatnot.

While I'm not the biggest fan of his work, or his style, or his idea of romance, or his insistence to include me in his pornography, or make fake-mes to put in his pornography, or his work, or his style, he gets the job done, and proves to be quite the laugh. Occasionally.

Awh~ I love everything about you, Ally~ Your doe ears, your doe tail, your doe spots on your back, your little hooves, your ears, your submissive sub-nature, the hard-to-get act you put on, the radio static in your voice that fades when you get sad (aroused?), the noises you let out when stretching, your dainty frame, that grabbable waist, those thighs, your neck I could just bite into and mark as my own... OH, AND THOSE CLAWS? I WANT THEM TO SCRATCH INTO MY BACK AS YOU WRAP YOUR LEGS AROUND MY WAIST, MOANING AND CRYING OUT AS I RAM INTO YOU LIKE NO--

This post has been monitored and decidedly removed by OP. For any questions or appeals, please contact OP at "Never-fucking-message-me-again-you-sick-fuck-3200".

are you serious he got us banned?

No just valentino

Look, he can’t speak anymore.

....

Honestly it's a relief

my ears feel blessed

He's still mouthing the things he wants to do to me.

...

Did you just mouth "Air fryer"?

Bon Appetit Ep 8 (Finale) Stray Thoughts

Last time, we had a misunderstanding about Yoon Soo's past relationship and eventually a big group confrontation with the ex. In the aftermath, Yoon Soo was hurt that Doo Hoon seemed to purposefully disregard his feelings, and expressed frustration about Doo Hoon hurting him all the time. Doo Hoon reflected and then wrote a love letter to Yoon Soo, but it seems like Yoon Soo's dramatic ass is leaving like this is an Augustana song.

Oh good. Yoon Soo went back and read the note. Finally, a show where someone wrote a note to express their feelings and send it himself.

I'm glad Yoon Soo gets to be upset about this situation. I wrote about it recently and still think we need to acknowledge men's frustration and anger at being dicked around.

Sang Woo is correct. Doo Hoon should not be asking him for love advice.

I wish I knew more Korean so I could hear when someone switches to polite or casual language.

I love Yoon Soo still beefing with Sang Woo.

Hey, they sussed out that Yoon Soo has been making the food.

Sang Woo is playing to win!

Mr. Han is cruising for a bruising.

That's right, Doo Hoon, GO IN AND LET HAVE!

Of course Yoon Soo threw his body in front of him.

Look at Ms. Sung coming through at the end. We love to see it.

He's rushing to make this chocolate and definitely is getting his proportions wrong. Also, an air fryer??

Girls, he really ran out the house with the whole air fryer.

I liked the simple apologies. Sometimes that's all that's needed.

The cookie turned out somewhat okay!

Final Verdict: 8, That Was Cute. I think this was a solid little production, with really tight work all around. Unlike one of this team's earlier works, this one used the time it had really well. This feels like a show in the bubble, and those rarely end up being my favorites, but this was a genuinely enjoyable watch. I'm also hungry now.

hi baby~ 🥺🥺🩵 how’s my favorite cauliflower hater doing? 🤭

we’re having burgers for dinner tonight and i’ve been put on french fry duty since my parents don’t know how to use the air fryer. i’m sitting here wondering if my recent repulsion toward potatoes extends to fries…. at first i didn’t think this was possible seeing as my mom has crowned me the french fry queen since i was in elementary school but just this past weekend, my mom got me a small fry from my favorite fast food place and i couldn’t even finish them. could this be the end of my reign as THE french fry queen? has my crown finally tipped? have the potatoes finally won??? I CAN’T LET THE POTATOES WIN CHERRY, I JUST CAN’T

i went to the store and bought blackberries today along with some more strawberries :3 i love berries with yogurt so much omg 😩😩😩 i should be eating some with you right now 🥺 maybe we can share~ (mouth to mouth of course hehe 🤭)

Will Power on what IndyCar can learn from F1, running a Cup race and brutal honesty: 12 Questions

Each week, The Athletic asks the same 12 questions to a different race car driver. Up next: Team Penske’s Will Power, the IndyCar championship points leader who heads to the season finale at Laguna Seca with a 20-point margin over Josef Newgarden and Scott Dixon.

1. How do you feel about people reclining their seats on airplanes?

I have no problem with people who recline their seat on airplanes. It’s totally normal and fine.

You tipping it back as soon as you get on?

I am. As soon as we take off, yeah.

Is that for comfort or sleeping purposes?

It’s for both comfort and sleeping purposes. Every time I get on a plane now, I just sleep. Plus my back. I’ve pounded my back and broken my back — or let’s say a compression fracture a number of times and broken it once. So I definitely like my spine to be reclined.

2. How often do you get recognized at the grocery store?

I never go to the grocery store, so not very often. I have gone and been recognized. But everything’s done online now. Ever since COVID, my wife orders all the groceries online. Like, literally never goes to the grocery store.

That’s one of the only good things to come out of COVID, I guess.

Yeah, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. It’s good for people to get out. But it’s certainly a convenient thing.

3. On a scale of one to 10, how good are you at replying to text messages in a timely manner?

I try to be very quick to reply — punctual, is that what it’s called? I try to reply to everyone, always. On race weekends when you win a race or you get a pole or something, it’s difficult because I try not to look at my cell phone over a race weekend. But I always sit down and reply to everyone. Absolutely everyone. So yeah, I’m very particular about doing that.

Wow. How do you make it through a whole weekend without looking through your phone?

I do look at it, because I have to get text messages about schedules and such. But I try to never look at it in the engineering office. Just to be focused on the job at hand.

4. What is the best way to get out of a conversation with someone who won’t stop talking?

To be honest and just say, “Look, I’ve got to go and I’ve got to do this.” Just be honest. The best way is not to make up some excuse. People actually respect brutal honesty at times. Sometimes you’ve gotta be a bit tactful.

Not a lot of people have said that this year, but I can see where you’re coming from. Everybody is trying to not hurt people’s feelings. But if you’re just like, “Yeah, I gotta go, sorry …”

I’ve done that before where I’ve had a friend call me and say, “Hey, do you want to come to this race? It’s about a four-hour drive.” And I didn’t want to make up an excuse, so I said, “Look, I simply just don’t want to go. I don’t want to drive four hours. Sorry.” He’s like, “That’s cool, man.”

5. If you could pick only one form of social media to use and drop all the rest, which would it be?

Probably my personal Facebook account, because you actually have all your real friends and people you know.

So you want the small group where you get life updates and you see how your friends back home are doing?

Yeah, actual people you grew up with and you know. That would be the one if I was to delete the rest.

6. What advice would you give someone who is having a hard time getting over a mistake they’ve made?

It’s by mistakes that you actually become better at anything. Simply move on. You’ve just got to keep moving forward. You cannot dwell on mistakes. You just can’t. Learn from them and move forward quickly. The best people in the world do that. Any discipline, business, sport — that’s a key mental aspect you need to be successful.

7. This is a wild-card question where I’m mixing it up for each person. I asked your friend Jenna Fryer for some help in terms of what to ask you, and she said you absolutely love comedy and you’ll listen to it on the plane and laugh out loud on the flight because you love it so much. So who are some of your favorite comedians and what style of comedy do you like so much that it gives you that much enjoyment?

Louis CK for me is probably the best stand-up in the world. Dave Chappelle — I like all of Chappelle’s stuff, but his older stuff like his special “For What It’s Worth” is one of the best specials I’ve seen. Obviously, I watch a lot of my brother’s stuff (Damien Power is a stand-up comedian).

There’s certain YouTube channels I watch that are sort of prank comedy. I love “Just For Laughs.” They do a phenomenal job. “Just For Laughs” has so many good gags. But I love comedy. It’s the best. I think it’s what the world needs way more of these days, is laughing.

With the prank stuff, there’s a fine line between cringe and don’t like the jokes. Are they usually in on the jokes?

Well, the prank comedy I find the funniest is when the person who is pranked works out what it was and then laughs. Or it’s the shock factor. Like if you’re watching “Just For Laughs,” the shock factor of something that’s great. That’s the part I like about prank comedy. Some of the “Just For Laughs” ones are amazing. They come up with some of the best gags.

And then fart humor is also funny. I like it all.

8. If you felt someone intentionally made contact with you during a race, would you confront them, send a text or just let it go?

Intentionally? I’d probably ask them about it. Often when you get taken out, either it is not intentional or just a bad move. You never really have to pay anyone back because it always comes around at some point to everyone in some other ways. I’ve been around long enough to see that’s what happens. But definitely, depending on who it was, I’d either text or call and ask them about it.

9. What movie do you think you’ve seen the most times over the last year?

There’s not a movie that I’ve watched multiple times this year.

Are you more of a TV binge type?

Yeah, yep. I just finished “Better Call Saul” and then I started watching “The Kominsky Method.” It’s pretty funny. Good comedy. “Nathan For You” is probably the TV show I’ve watched over multiple times. It’s great. Very funny. You’ve got to watch “Nathan For You.” It’s not for everyone. It’s cringeworthy at times, but it’s funny comedy.

10. When you think about IndyCar five years from now, what are you the most optimistic about and what worries you the most?

What worries me the most would be that IndyCar doesn’t progress and move forward quickly. Because I think they have to, just based on what Formula One has done with “Drive to Survive” and their marketing plan. They’ve really, really grown massively. And I think IndyCar has that potential, but they’ve got to put the money in and they’ve got to progress.

What I’m most optimistic about is they do all that and it does grow. And they get a reality TV show and they grow the series. Because I know it’s one of the best racing products in the world as far as on-track action. So that’s what I’m optimistic about.

11. A magic genie appears and offers you the chance to go back to the beginning of your racing career and start all over. But the catch is you get to keep all of the knowledge and experience you have now. So do you go back to the past and start again, or do you stay where you are?

I’ve actually thought about that exact thing. Like imagining going back to the beginning. But then I’ve gone, “Well, it won’t take the same path. And you may end up (where) something bad could happen to you.” So you just can’t do that. It’s a very unpredictable thing.

Certainly, there’d be way more potential for success, but you could also get in some strange accident that ruins your life. You may not meet your wife. Just so many things. Life is the actual journey — all the ups and downs you have along the way. Just a part of life and learning experiences. So yeah, I think I’d just stick with it.

12. Each week, I ask a driver to give me a question for the next interview. And last week was Alex Bowman from NASCAR and he wants to know: Do you have any interest in ever running a Cup race? And if not, what is your bucket list race car aside from IndyCar?

I definitely have an interest in running a Cup race. I would love to. I love the series. I think the series is one of the most competitive series in the world, and it’s full of great drivers. So I would definitely love to do a Cup race.

Do you prefer an oval or road course?

Either, but it’d be very interesting to do an oval. But I would do either. I’d like to do one of each.

The next interview will be with somebody on the NASCAR side. Do you have a question I might be able to ask a NASCAR driver?

I think it’d be actually a similar question: Would whoever it is like to do what Jimmie Johnson has done and run an IndyCar? Or at least test a car?

New Year, New Experiences

The days between Christmas and January 1st is a lot like a hangover for me.

I lose track of time. Everything feels a little weird and unbalanced. I just had a really good time, but now I'm anxious about what's ahead of me, whether that's going to be a wine headache in the morning or a disastrous year of my life. There are exactly 6 days to survive in that liminal space between this year and the next. This week is the butt of the bread loaf that makes up the year.

That said, this time is really important for me as a human being, because I finally have time to stop and think. Another year down and gone - what did I do? What would I have done differently? What do I hope to do next year? When is the store actually open so I can get discount Christmas candy? Where am I going to put this air fryer?

Real talk, I am the type of person that has to pencil in time for self-reflection. What the past few days has done for me is offered a perspective for my life and relationships, courtesy of the ticking time-clock that I'm suddenly seeing over my shoulder. 2023 is going to be a big year for me. I'm newly married to a wonderful, amazing human that's helped me realize how much of my life I haven't been living. I finally feel safe enough to explore in ways I never have before, whether that's due to my own circumstances or society or whatever. My anxieties and fears have done a lot to hold me back over my life, and I've only started to realize just how much I've never done but really really wanted to. It doesn't help that I turn 30 in February.

There are a few things that have been on my general bucket list forever: start a blog, find a way to help people with all of my random knowledge, make people feel less alone, talk about things that should be talked about, "live my best life." At least, at the very least, try.This blog is me checking off a few different things on that list. It's also me giving myself a way to stop letting my health, my anxiety, my circumstances, and so many other things dictate what a meaningful, authentic life means to me.

Part of that life for me is always going to be sex. My relationship with sex is difficult at best, but it wasn't always that way. I can't stand the idea of going through life without trying some things that I want, that are available, that are perfectly fine when all parties consent, etc etc, but never doing those things because of the shadow of a man in my past or my own brain trying to drag me into an anxiety spiral. Are those things going to win the battles sometimes? Absolutely. Are they going to win the war? Nope. I won't let them.

So here it is. A 2023 "bucket list." More of a list of wants, needs, and goals. I'm going to give myself permission to take up space, to be a little selfish, to sit somewhere and pretend I'm Carrie Bradshaw for a little bit (without the whole toxic friendships and Mr. Big part, and also without the insanity of freelance writing in New York as a career, oh my god, I'd be living in a shoebox). I may add to this list, I may remove from this list. I may ask for help with some things or advice for others.

And yes, the first one is a "gimme."

Start a sex/life blog for advice and journaling

Join the local BDSM/kink community

Start a sticker store

Become more comfortable with my body in lingerie and photos

Go to more open mics and comedy shows

Have good sex

Answer questions about sex/life with research and advice

Simple, right? I work at an adult toy store, so some of these should be a little easy to get the materials for. Starting a sticker store is something I've always wanted to do, mostly for fandoms and such, but requires me to have a tablet first. As for the open mics and comedy shows, I honestly just need to be better about marketing myself and making myself work through the mental slumps that come with being creative and also alive.

You all can help me with the questions. What do people want to know? Would you all want a basic explainer to bondage? A list of myths and misconceptions about anal sex? Reviews of all the roses? Would you want to know how the performance enhancers work? Or how about how to start a cam show, or how to explore your fantasies, or how to give your partner the first orgasm of their life? I have histories of pin-ups, of the adult industry, and a bunch of random and interesting facts (did you know that the first million-dollar budget for a porno was for the movie Pirates? did you know that there's a whole musical genre specifically for the adult industry? did you know that the artificial banana flavor we know is a different flavor than the actual bananas most of us eat?) about life, relationships, sex, cool shit, experiences, and more. In order to really expand my own horizons, I need the dialogue that comes with interaction. Let me google the weird stuff so you don't have to.

Anyway, that's what I'm going for. "Live better," I guess, is how this can all be summed up! Wish me luck, and stay tuned, I guess.

Jul Tambor’s single-minded goal of killing Darth Vader seems to be another of his many spoiled failgrandson delusions, but upon closer inspection, Jul has gotten himself into a situation where trying to kill Darth Vader is legitimately the best way forward. Jul has inherited Grandpa Wat’s ability to assess a situation and choose the most deranged self-destructive course of action, and it’s fascinating to see him try to apply this utterly atrocious ability to good.

From the perspective of the rest of the galaxy, Jul Tambor has spent the last 6 years yelling at gangsters: “I’m Jul Tambor! Grandson of Wat Tambor! I’m RICH AS FUCK and INCREDIBLY STUPID. My obsession with buying giant piles of garbage is frankly concerning! Find me in the Skako system.”

I think most people’s reaction to that would be along the lines of, “How far the Tambors have fallen. Jul has gone insane. I hope roleplaying commerce makes him feel better. At least I have someone I can unload tons of useless trash on.”

Those too smart for their own good would think, “Wait. He’s a Tambor. He’s Techno Union. There’s got to be something he knows that we don’t. I’ll buy the same garbage he buys in case it’s secretly valuable.” But inevitably the massive speculation bubbles that arise whenever Jul buys 50 thousand recalled air fryers burst when it’s revealed he is in fact buying literal garbage. Not to mention everyone who suddenly finds themselves priced out whenever Jul Tambor rolls through like the Mansa Musa of trash.

But imagine you and your supporters got exiled to a death world and everyone is just waiting for you all to suffocate and go extinct. It’s illegal to buy breathing equipment. So you buy tons of completely unrelated scrap instead and process it into breathing equipment.

You need to defend them, but if you buy weapons, the Empire will immediately notice and wipe you out. So instead you buy more garbage and scavenge battlefields for old droids and straight up steal new droids.

Jul managed to piss off so many criminal organisations that the Empire had mistaken them for an intentional blockade when they all gathered in the Skako system to kick his ass. Not only are they all trying to kill him, they discovered and are attacking his supporters.

No wonder the Droid Crush Pirates have it out for him in particular. They have been fighting Darth Vader, Jul has been scavenging droids specifically killed by Darth Vader, so from their perspective, Jul has been kidnapping and brainwashing them.

Sabé’s belief that Jul must be stopped because if he attacks Vader, he will die and Vader will massacre his supporters in retaliation, is rooted in her own past experiences where she and her supporters had the privilege of walking away alive. Let’s examine Jul’s options:

As long as the Empire is in power, they will back the current ruling council of Skako. As long as the council remains in power, we are stranded on Brentaal IV. As long as we are stranded on Brentaal IV, we need to buy garbage to survive. A long as I buy garbage, pirates will try to kill me. Also Darth Vader is here.

Option 1: Retake Skako

If we win, the Empire will return to kill us again. X

If we lose, we die on the council’s orders. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 2: Do nothing

Pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 3: Lasting peace with pirates

If I succeed, I can’t buy scrap anymore so everyone will suffocate. X

If I fail, pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 4: Escape the system

If we succeed, we will have the same problems somewhere else. X

If we fail, pirates kill us. X

Everyone dies no matter what

Option 5: Kill Darth Vader

If I succeed, Imperial control of Skako will be weak enough for us to defy the council and go home.

If I fail, Darth Vader kills us. X

Fuck it we ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging by past trends, (Effortless destruction of the Amidalans, effortless destruction of Droid Crush, Ochi’s there, mild annoyance from IG-88, temporary distraction by Palpatine’s aides, severe emotional damage from Padme’s handmaidens, being obliterated and nearly dying from Governor Tauntaza who escapes unharmed), Vader is taking greater and greater Ls for each new enemy he faces. Additionally, he has gone from at least cursorily supporting the Empire to killing officers on a whim and completely ignoring his official missions to continue his midlife crisis. I don’t think he’s killed a single formal member of the Rebellion in this entire comic series. At the very least, good job everyone for wasting his time, even if none of you could kill him ! Here’s what I think is going to happen:

Because he inherited Grandpa Wat’s self-preservation instincts, Jul will die horribly, but in such a way that achieves all of his other objectives. Like before he dies, he calls all the pirates and says,

“Hey guys. I got raided by the Empire and all of my

27 TRILLION TECHNO UNION CREDITS

are being held in the Skako Minor Imperial garrison. You can stop trying to kill me now. The Empire’s sending in some ships to retrieve

27 TRILLION TECHNO UNION CREDITS

soon. Even if you catch me, I got nothing left for you. Peace!”

Whether Jul is incompetent enough to get robbed by the Empire or he’s a genius for lying is irrelevant, because this spurs the pirates into attacking the Imperial garrison. Killing Jul does nothing to stop them. He was never their commander. The pirates and the Empire annihilate each other over vast fortunes that may or may not exist.

In the resulting chaos, the Skakoans on Brentaal IV escape and the council gets overthrown. Vader’s like, “Man fuck this place. Maybe Tarkin was right about the Death Star.” and then leaves because he entirely stopped caring about the Empire’s interests.

It's so upsetting seeing people go "bro why you mad at shiver? Stop being mad at her, she's a fictional character"

When in reality is more than just that

First of, the people that say that are usually shiver and I'm pretty sure that if they were in the loosing streak that we are in they'd be all up and hands about it

Secondly, it is so much more than that

I've been seeing shiver fans complaining about things THEY have been doing ever single splatfest that we have been complaining about for centuries now! And when they get a taste of their own medicine, they keep going "chill out, its just a game"

Like bruh????

Like you haven't been insulting us every single splatfest???? And we are tired of this for good reason, we aren't just salty, you guys are mean!

I've had anonymous people come at me at some point and I turned it off before it got as bad as I've seen others get it

And sure, we on the other side get a little too mean, I've seen that and dont condone it, but come on, to be acting like it came out of nowhere and that we are just salty we lost?

Everytime shiver wins, its a complete mess of shiver fans calling us mean names and saying they're justified because they're the best

There is a reason why Big Man and Frye fans have a better time together

And lastly, we aren't, for the most part, mad at Shiver, we are mad at her fans, we are upset at the people representing her

Tho, on that note, a little PSA to Big Mannies and Fryers, stop mischaractising Shiver, she is not her fans, i hate OOC stuff in general and even though she's not my fave, she is not as mean as her fans, as many say, "Shiver won't sleep with you"

Shiver fans are diving people, we wouldn't be this upset if they didn't instigate it, sure some would still be, but all my friends, many people here on tumblr and others have noticed the hostility of shiver fans, even my friends who like shiver and go to her team notice how hostile the environment is!

So take your own fucking advice and chill the fuck out, it isn't us who needs to be hearing that

That aside

I haven't played tri color yet cuz we are preparing to receive a guest in 2 days, I will once I arrive home, but from what I've seen.... eesh, I'm kinda worried about yall😬

But it seems to still be going mostly fine, I'm actually excited to be fighting with big man, I haven't had many, if any, bad experiences with them!

One Last thing though, altho I understand the anger, fire with fire won't do anything but create more fire, don't give them a reason to spew more hate, I don't condone harassment, don't stoop to their level

If you still want them to loose, one thing I'd recommend is that is none violent, is if you're on the attacking team with them, be hands off for the most part and let the defender team take the lead, you don't attack the other team but don't help out either

DON'T FUCKING SPAWN CAMP THEM! I am 100% against spawn campers no matter the team, I have been vocal about it since the start! And I'm not going to make exceptions because it's my team or the team willing to help us out and i won't defend that just because we all agree to rise up against shiver, yes i agree that we need to band together against shiver, but what the actual hell has some of these videos I've seen be?!!?

Anyways

All I wanted to say was that, I understand the anger towards shiver fans after how they've been treating us for a year now and I agree we should band together against them and I wish they'd understand our side, but let's not become them, a little taste of their medicine is fine but cmon man, some of these have just been sad kfjsjajq

#salty rants #splatoon #splatoon 3 #splatfest #shiver vs frye vs big man #team shiver #cuz yall needa fucking listen too #not all #im aware #but a good amount of yall cuz istg #team frye #team big man #im also gonna turf off my anonymity again cuz yall i am scared vkdkskak ill turn it back on once things calm down

Clockwork Island Adventure- Pt. 2

Meanwhile in Card Castle, a serious competition was underway: specifically, a game of poker between Nami, and her captors. "And I win again!" Nami boasted after laughing with victory, and gathered her earnings. "So sorry, guys."

Venus watched from behind the redhead, leaning against the dresser with crossed arms. "See why I didn't want to play?" She snarked. Despite her not being in the crew for long, she already knew not to get her money involved with the greedy navigator. Thanks for the warning, Zoro.

"She's going to make us lose everything!" Skunk One moped.

"Why don't they come to try and save you?" Honey tried to break her spirits.

"The traps must've got them," Boo-Jack guessed.

"It'd be easier if they were that weak," Nami retorted.

"They can get through anything," Venus added.

"Out of the frying pan... into the fryer."

Venus furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

Nami looked at Pin Joker with annoyance. "It's "fire"." He glared, but stayed calm.

Honey stood on her feet. "I'll go, and check up on them."

"Running away, are you?" Nami beamed. "You owe me quite a lot." Venus rolled her eye. "You can pay with your body!" In retaliation, Honey stripped down completely, and turned completely into water, shocking the two girls. "What?"

Honey slithered down a pipe, as Boo-Jack rode out on his unicycle. "Let's go!"

Nami looked on in awe. 'Don't tell me she's...'

Venus turned to her, feeling surprised herself. "Is that what you meant, by her paying with her body?" Her innocent question was met with silence.

Elsewhere, the guys rode in a basket with a parachute above the town. "Cool! It's like an airplane!" Usopp commented in awe, as he and Luffy enjoyed the view.

"Watch out, there's a minefield below us!" Borod warned.

"Hey, look at those windmills," Luffy pointed out.

"Eh?" Usopp perked up.

Luffy took out his toy from the beach, and looked back and forth between it, and the real thing. "They're identical."

"It must be from here," Usopp observed.

Luffy tried to wind it, but it wouldn't budge. "It's broken."

"Give it to me," Akees held his hand out. After Luffy gave him the toy, he whipped out a blue-handled screwdriver, and began tinkering with the wind-up key.

He opened the top, and continued to work, as Luffy and Usopp watched in awe. "Wow, you're pretty good at this kinda stuff!" Usopp complimented.

"He's amazing!" Borod said, as he steered the makeshift balloon. "He can repair pretty much everything."

Just then, Akees put his screwdriver away. "There, fixed."

He winded the key, and sure enough, it was working just like new. "Cool!" Luffy gushed. "Wow, you're great!"

"Oh dear, are you still alive?" A familiar, female voice interrupted the happy moment. Sure enough, strangely-colored water descended from a pipe, and Honey started to manifest nearby.

"It's that hot babe!" Sanji swooned, as Usopp held him by the waist to keep him from falling. "I gotta see her again!"

"Calm down."

"What was that?!" Zoro demanded.

"Devil Fruit powers," Borod replied.

"Correct!" Boo-Jack threw Honey's long coat to her, as she fully changed appearance, back to being fully clothed.

"Melt-Melt Fruit. Boo-Jack, give them their prize."

Boo-Jack rode his unicycle along the rope tied to the basket. "Yes! Come to me!" Sanji gushed obliviously, but his face quickly changed to disappointment when it wasn't her approaching them. Boo-Jack threw a ball at them, and Sanji prepared to kick it away, but it suddenly jutted out black spikes all over. He wasn't quick enough to pull away; his already injured foot was impaled.

"Sanji!" Luffy exclaimed in terror.

"Right in his foot!" Zoro remarked.

Sanji started to fall, but luckily, Borod grabbed his ankle, just as Honey floated over. "Hold it right there!" Using her powers, she shot a large gush of water over the crew. Borod accidentally dropped Sanji, who bounced face-first on the grass, followed by a mine explosion.

"Sanji!" Luffy screamed, as they flew away.

Nami and Venus gasped in shock when the battered, tied-up cook was suddenly brought in, and thrown to them close by. "Sanji-kun!" Nami looked over him in concern.

"Your feet!" Venus cried at the bloody sight before her.

"Nami-san, Venus-chan... I'm sorry."

"Sanji-kun!"

Bear King approached them. "Look, I spared his life. That's how much I love you two."

"I see now," Nami stood on her feet, "Yes, I really prefer strong men like you."

"Yes!"

"But I need more time to think..."

"Me too," Venus agreed.

"I understand."

"So don't kill..."

"Skunk One!"

"Sir! I will convince them!"

"Wait!" Venus shouted.

"No!" Nami protested. "I said don't kill-!"

"Now, let's play." Bear King kept Nami and Venus back, as Skunk One flew away.

Meanwhile, the guys recovered from the crash landing outside the spade-bearing gate. "Damn it all!" Usopp fussed. "If only I had my slingshot."

"You wouldn't dare to anyway," Akees snarked.

"What?" Usopp glared.

"Borod would save me, even if he lost both feet!" He bragged.

It was then when Usopp noticed: Borod had a metal, prosthetic hand under his left sleeve. "Your hand... did you?"

"Yup, he always protects me, risking his life for me."

"You brag about being saved?"

That caught Akees off guard. "I'm just a kid, and I'm still weak, so..."

Usopp stood on his feet in anger. "It's not a question about being weak or not!"

"Stop it," Borod put a hand on the sniper's shoulder, "That's enough."

"It's not!" Usopp nudged him off. "I hate brats who think they'll always be saved!"

"As if I care!" Akees retorted.

"What'd you say?!"

"If that girl getting in Borod's business earlier thought she'll always be saved, would you hate her too??"

"Leave her out of this! I would never hate her!"

Through the argument, Luffy stared on in deep thought, then spoke up. "Okay! Let's go!" He swung his arms about in preparation. "Hey, kid. You can go home."

"What?!"

"Well, I'm not saving a weakling."

Borod's eyes widened in shock. "I'm not going home!" Akees protested.

"Okay," Luffy grinned, "Then fight! Gum-Gum Pistol!" With a single punch, the gate was totaled. "Come on!" He started to run inside, but quickly turned around the horde of angry guards, as they chased him out. "Oh, crap!"

"I'll take them!" Zoro ran in to help, followed by Usopp and the Thief Brothers.

"There's too many of them," Luffy fussed.

"Leave 'em to me!" Zoro stole a sword, and curb-stomped guards one by one effortlessly.

From the top floor of the castle, Pin Joker was watching everything. "Roronoa Zoro," He smirked.

"Ooh!" Bear King perked up when the elevator rose into the room.

"What?" Nami looked up, as did Venus.

The door opened to reveal a large, mystery device concealed by a white sheet. "So my doomsday weapon is finally done!" The patriarch eagerly ran over.

The trio of guards standing in front danced in celebration. "All hail the great Bear King-sama!"

"Much better than our last boss!"

"The King Cannon has finally been completed!"

"The spicing on the cake," Pin Joker grinned.

""Icing", you mean?" Nami corrected.

"King Cannon," Honey's eyes widened.

"Is that it?" Boo-Jack questioned.

"The legend about me has begun!" The weapon was wheeled out of the elevator. "I'll be the King of all Pirates!" He laughed evilly.

Nami turned to Sanji when he groaned in pain. "Sanji-kun!"

"I'm sorry... Nami-san, Venus-chan."

"Don't worry," Nami assured, "They're dumb, so Venus and I can-"

"No, you can't," Sanji cut her off.

"Eh?"

"I just wanted to save you... by myself..." The two girls looked down at him in sympathy, before they were surprised by him wiggling like a worm with a wide grin. "... then be hugged by you both as thanks, followed by this and that, and-!"

"You creep," Nami frowned.

"Going by yourself is reckless!" Venus scolded. "Why would you want to save us alone?!"

"That's a conversation for another time," Nami dismissed.

Just then, an angry Bear King came running. "Who are you to my fiancées?"

Sanji glared defiantly at him. "The one who rubs suntan lotion all over their backs."

"Sunblock for me," Venus corrected innocently.

"Shush," Nami hissed.

"What?!" Bear King shouted. "Crucify this creep!"

"No!" Venus protested, as Sanji was lifted by his ropes.

"He might be one of her crew, but I'm gonna kill him!" The cook was thrown roughly to the floor, and bounced into a stone wall.

He landed face-down, and was pinned down by Boo-Jack. "Watch your mouth. You weaklings have no chance against us." He wrenched his heel in his back.

Sanji glared up at him, weak from his injuries. "You'll regret those words before the day is over," He vowed.

Outside, the rest of the crew were warding off the endless guards; Luffy using Gum Gum Pistol, Zoro slashing and stabbing with his "borrowed" sword, and Borod punching them out. "What's this stench?" Usopp complained, closing his long nose.

Skunk One. He was perched menacingly on top of a tall pole in front of them. "Welcome to Card Castle. Your friend is waiting." He pointed to the sky.

"What?" Everyone looked up, and to their horror, the cook was strapped to a cross.

"Sanji!" Luffy exclaimed.

"He made Bear King-sama a bit angry. So we crucified him a little."

The guards were scared away by a smelly, yellow fog spraying from his back, but the crew stayed, and covered their noses. "What's this?" Borod glared.

"Devil's gas! One breath, and you'll turn into a powerless lump. Have fun holding your breath!"

"You're kidding me!" Zoro fussed, "We can't just..." He tried to run, but his strength seemed to have been drained. "Luffy!"

The captain sat cross-legged on the ground. "I don't wanna do anything."

"Get a grip!" Zoro yelled.

Usopp and Akees watched from afar, avoiding the noxious gas. Usopp took a deep, nervous breath, and braced himself. "Akees, you said I didn't have the guts to do anything, right? Take a look at this, brat! Behold Usopp, when he does his amazing, cool stunts! Venus-chan needs me!!"

"Usopp!" Akees was shocked when the sniper ran straight in, and shimmied up the pole the stinky villain was perched on. He latched onto his waist, and held on tight.

"Lemme go!"

"Dream on!"

A weakened Borod pushed himself up. "That idiot," He panted.

"Leave this guy to me! Just go!"

Skunk One blasted himself off the pole with the gas. "Now eat that!" As everyone watched, Usopp blocked the tank... with his mouth! As he fought off the horrid taste, he was flailed around aimlessly. His stomach became greatly inflated, due to getting rapidly filled with gas.

"Usopp!" The little boy exclaimed in shock.

"Come, Akees!" Borod ordered, and made a mad dash to the castle.

"But..."

"Don't let his bravery be in vain! Hurry up!" After some hesitation, Akees joined them in their sprint.

On the top floor, Skunk One barely managed to make it, before he kicked a bloated Usopp to the floor. He let the gas out from his mouth, as his stomach deflated back to normal. "I can't believe that he's alive."

The girls watched from further inside. "Usopp!" Nami exclaimed.

"Usopp-kun!" Venus followed suit, but more shocked.

Bear King put his hands on their shoulders from behind. "Do you care about him?"

"Of course!" Venus threw him off, as did Nami.

"He's one of us!" Nami added.

"You both should care about me alone," He glared, "Crucify this guy too!"

"Yes, sir!" Skunk One obliged.

Nami grabbed a broom nearby, and began swinging at him, as Venus prepared an attack. "You big, stinky jerk!" Her eye widened when the redhead was quickly outnumbered, losing her weapon. She was pinned down to the floor by her throat. "Nami!"

"What are you doing?" He sneered.

"Don't spoil your dress, m'lady," Bear King picked her up with both hands, "And mind your manners. Skunk One, fetch the little one for me."

"Yes, sir!"

Venus glared when he began to approach her. "Touch him, and you'll regret it," She growled, and launched her energy ball at him. He jumped away to dodge it, only to do it again when she shot another one.

Usopp's exhausted eyes watched, as familiar black sneakers briefly showed themselves under the long, white skirt. "Ve-Venus-chan."

"I won't let him near you!" Venus promised through her attempted battling. Sadly, despite her best efforts, she was outnumbered, and forcefully escorted away. "Usopp-kun!"

During their trek up the spiraling staircase, the guys fought off even more guards effortlessly. They made it to a covered bridge, where something caught Luffy's eye. "Look there!" Usopp was crucified, just like Sanji! "Usopp!" They ran up more stairs, and encountered a spiraling pillar behind a grated wall. "What's this?"

"It's the mechanism protecting this island," Borod explained.

"Let's hurry!" Zoro urged.

They continued their sprint, but Akees was knocked to the ground, now unconscious. "Akees!" More guards came, one of them being the culprit. A furious Borod fought them off, and looked over his adoptive brother in concern. "Akees!"

Just then, a grated door closed, blocking off the exit, before the whole tower started to rumble terribly. The floor was rising! It abruptly slowed when the Straw Hats pushed on the ceiling. "What's happening?" Luffy questioned in shock.

"Akees!" Borod ran over to him, as he woke up.

"I'm just dragging you down again," He smiled weakly, and began to drift off again.

"Don't give me that, Akees! We're brothers, remember?"

"It's so heavy!" Luffy exclaimed, as the floor continued rising.

"We can't hold it for long! Borod, you gotta help us!" Borod ignored Zoro, as he lifted Akees off the floor. "What?"

Borod stared daggers at the two, then smiled. "Of all people. You disappoint me." He started shifting away, as Luffy and Zoro struggled. "Seems no one can fight the Card Pirates."

"What?" Luffy watched him in confusion.

"After I took your ship and all."

"You stole our ship?"

"I thought something was fishy," Zoro glared, "So it was you!" Borod jumped off the floor to a safer staircase. "And to think, Venus liked you! She's too good for you!"

"Like I said, I'm not looking for a relationship."

"You used us to get to the Clock!" Zoro exclaimed.

"I'm not after some damn clock."

"What?"

"I just wanted you to defeat these pirates, and save the island."

"B-but why?" Luffy stammered.

"I wanted to return Akees to his parents on this island."

"So this is his..." Zoro concluded.

"His birthplace," Borod finished, "I'm sure of it. Sorry for the trouble. And please take care of Akees, should I die here." Zoro glared during his struggle. "I have to fight them."

"Idiot! You don't stand a chance!"

"I don't care. There's no future if you run away." He glanced at the unconscious boy with a smirk. "Right?" With that, he sprinted up the stairs.

"Borod!" Zoro shouted, but went unnoticed. "He's ready to die. Luffy, can't you do something?"

"I'm afraid not." A door opened to reveal Pin Joker.

"Who are you?" Zoro's eyes widened.

"Long time no see, Roronoa." He pointed to the long, horizontal scar going from the top to the bottom of his face. "I have not forgotten the scar you gave me!"

Zoro sneered, but was confused. "You... who're you?"

"You don't know?" Pin Joker griped.

"Can't remember all the weaklings I've beat."

"Agreed!" Luffy nodded.

"I will teach you that he who walks first, squalls first."

""Falls first"," Zoro corrected.

That made him mad. "Shut up, and die! Featherdarts!"

Luffy braced himself when yellow feather-like darts shot out from the man's sleeve, but to his confusion, he didn't feel anything. At least, other than more weight above his head. To his shock, the swordsman took the full brunt! "Zoro... you...!"

"You lunatic! You almost scared me." He prepared his sword through the pain. "Sorry, Luffy. This won't take long."

Pin Joker chuckled mockingly. "Try it. Skunk's gas, and my poison darts... your body won't move."

"Damn." He went in for the attack, but another door closed, and he was stabbed.

"Zoro!"

He landed on his back in front of the captain. "Time to kick the one who's clown."

"D-down," Zoro stammered, before drifting into unconsciousness.

"Zoro!" Luffy screamed, as he was taken up the elevator, over Pin Joker's shoulder.
