#so... my apologies to the poor know your meme guy who got my input about all this

[nivq87]

Well... this has NOT been what my intended use of my evening was. but Hey! I found the original DotA Dansen flash. I'd been meaning to do this since DotA got stuck in my head last week. I USED to have it bookmarked but I guess since changing computers over the years it got lost at some point. ANYWAY! Now I am truly able to party like it's 2008 again.

Day6 / Crushin’ On You

Request: ok so like how would day6 act around their crush when they know they can’t confess their feelings? bc you know, they’re always busy andd don’t think they have time for a relationship they can’t help falling in love ughhh please hive me angst/fluff

This was honestly so fun. All of these could be scenarios! I was envisioning them all haha!

Sungjin: honestly, he would learn to live with it not being able to confess. Would it stop him from liking you? Nope. But, being the leader and being so much with promotions, it just wasn’t possible and he knew he would be asking too much of you and it would be selfish of him since he couldn’t be able to give you the time you deserve. He would still be friends with you and would try his damn near hardest to spend time with you any way he could between projects. He would be sweet towards his crush, always texting to ask how you’re doing or what you’re up to. He would do little things as well to hopefully make you catch on to his feelings, but they would be very subtle. He’d be on the fence about confessing when he’s so busy but when everything died down, he’d have no problem letting you know what was up and (hopefully) you’d feel the same.

Jae: the only difference in Jae in this situation would be the other members hinting that Jae would be cranky and mopey around the dorms. You wouldn’t see a difference in his bubbly personality at all. Around his crush, Jae would be extreamley touchy-feelly any chance he gets, getting close to you to show you a funny video or meme, or sitting next to you while y’all were doing literally anything. He’s kind of a brat so because he’s so busy, he would’ve come to the decision to not confess to you just yet. He didn’t want to get into a relationship, but not knowing when he could have a legit first date. The thought of it just left a bad taste in his mouth so he’d hold off on it for a little bit...not as long as the other members, because he’d just get frustrated one day and end up telling you his feelings anyway. Which in turn would just embarrass the poor guy because, “This went way different in my head. Let’s just ignore that so I can confess properly later on.” “Sorry, can’t do that.” “That’s it, I take it back.” Yep, he would only keep it a secret for like a month or two. If you agreed with him that right now was not a good time for a relationship and y’all should wait til he’s less busy, he will most likely be sad af and distance himself from you...

YoungK: the most thoughtful of the subject. He’d have thought about this a million and one times. It would keep him up all night long and, you betcha, he’d probably write a song about it to get out some of his frustration of the matter. He would speak to Sungjin for advice but wouldn’t really use it. YoungK would be the only one dead set on not giving away his secret because, what’s the point? Confessing could only lead to one of two things; you confessing back to him but unable to date or you rejecting him. Both of which were not good enough options to even bring up the subject to you. When he realized he didn’t want to tell you his feelings for you, you would notice his increasing distance. Text would not come as frequent, he wouldn’t facetime you as much and he would usually have a sad smile instead of the bright one you’re used to. It would honestly devastate you to think you’re losing him and in the end you’d probably confide in Sungjin (he’s the best listening imo) who wouldn’t tell you shit but would tell you to talk to Brian. That wouldn’t go well, he’d get frustrated/angry (at the situation) and then you’d have a falling out. It would take a lot for him to confess...only by seeing you with another guy would he finally give in and tell you (of course this would be when he isn’t promoting and isn’t busy 24/7) but this would probably lead to another argument lmao

Wonpil: immediately stops all contact with you. Ok maybe not immediately, but your long conversations suddenly become two word answers, then after a day, one word. It becomes very obvious to you that Wonpil didn’t want to be your friend anymore but you can’t help but wonder what you did wrong. He still follows you on social media but isn’t active at all (due to his schedule). You’re distraught because you two were so close and then all of a sudden, it’s like you’re strangers. When you try to call or text, you get no answer any more. He won’t accept your FT or return any of your calls. It hurts more than you admit but there is nothing you can do at that point. After a month of this, you decide to give in and ask one of the boys what’s been going on. Obviously they know and aren’t telling you since they’re hesitant in answering any of your questions. At that point, you’re just pissed off and don’t want to deal with it anymore. Eventually, with some convincing from his members, he calls you. But you’re petty and let it go to voicemail. He apologizes and wants to meet up, but you text him that you’re busy and leave it at that. He doesn’t push it but knows you’re upset with him and waits until you’re ready to see him. By the time you do, he looks like a kicked puppy, his head down and pouting and apologizes as many times as you need to hear. He won’t give a confession until many, many months later when the friendship is repaired, though.

Dowoon: he’s gathering all the members to give their input. He needs all the advice he can receive at this point. He’s torn between asking you out and keeping you in the dark about it. The boys are no help whatsoever and are half-half on what he should do. Instead, he becomes awkward around you to the point where the members have to say something about it to him (in private of course). He legit can’t help it, he wants to tell you sooooo bad but damn it! The timing is off and nothing is right in your lives. It’s a horrible time to date and he knows it. He’s a little resentful at JYP for booking them so much to do but at that point there is nothing to be done about it. After some really short conversations and very short and blunt texts, you’d pretty much get the hint. You didn’t know what to say/do to make up with him, but during the time you weren’t talking to Dowoon, is when you’d realize your feelings. It would just make you feel that much worse, since you could’ve said something earlier, maybe things would’ve been different. Thinking about it brings your mood down, but when he texts you out of the blue wanting to hang out, you nearly lose your shit. How can he just drop you and then pick you up when he’s ready!! He’s got another fucking thing coming that’s for sure!! The reunion goes south faster than he would have planned but he doesn’t even know what to say to calm you down before you’re up and out of the cafe, stomping down the street. “How the hell am I going to fix this mess...?”

Not a lot went up during Angst Week.

Yeah… not many people submitted things for us to post. I (Mod Penguin) was writing something to post but I ended up getting stuck on it and that week got kinda rough for me so I scrapped it… I kinda blame some poor planning as well. I thought it might be cool to line up an angst week with my Birthday (since Angst is my specialty) but I failed to realize that most people would be starting school that week an likely unable to participate… Again, I take full blame for that.

Almost 90% of our content is user submitted… so if we hit a lull there isn’t too much we can do. We try to dig up old submissions on the occasion but a lot of them are from before we were mods and it’s kinda hard to remember the context. We might do a full Inbox clean-out to make room for newer submissions and salvage what we can.

We’ve had a bit of a content lull in general… Personally, I blame the extreme hiatuses and general lack of news for regarding new SU episodes on CN’s part. Granted, the Hiatus will always be a part of the entertainment industry, and CN is always 3rd behind Nick and Disney. But in terms of keeping the SU flame alive: most we’ve had are a few podcasts with the cast/crew on ITunes and the occasional teaser or Meme from their social media plugs. 

Another part is in due to Controversies with certain youtubers… Pe//wDie//Pi/e and J/on//Tro//n in the last year were under heavy fire because of outright racist and anti-Semitic statements. We didn’t make any real statements on them because the truth was we didn’t know exactly what to do. We weren’t sure if we could remove them because these two in particular took the rolls of two characters who’s equivalents are very important in SU. And if we did remove them we’d have to shift things around and find other youtubers to replace them as well. And if THOSE guys did something bad it’d be phase-1 all over again. (Which is the main issue we get with these sorts of things and the problem we have to face with having an AU based around real-life people).

We also had the issue of past content created for these characters, which personally I don’t think we’ll remove them (AND WE HAVE NO PLANS TO) because it’d be censoring the blog’s history and hey, history has it’s faults… It’d be worse to erase the bad parts and pretend they never happened than to acknowledge that they were a part of the story and learn from them.

Though, I think I speak for us when I say that we should have definitely been better at addressing the things that happened than to wait for them to blow over, and on behalf of all the mods: We apologize. We do not stand with anything these two have done or said. We’re just in a bit of a bind trying to figure out what exactly to do. This is also why we’ve more hesitant about asks regarding adding certain youtubers/groups (A big one being the O//n/ey-Plays group, who… aren’t really the best in regards to LGBT or Racial problems and we aren’t too keen on adding them in when they have that already under their belt… We didn’t really have much of a choice with Matt/Ryan but they’ve seemed to have mellowed out since joining Grumps so maybe those two have seen the error of their ways… but we can’t say the same for On//e/y and his friends)

TL,DR: We have some management things we need to address/adjust/fix… We plan to do so once we figure something out.

(I also want to say, if you have any issue with the things said, take it up with me personally... I’d be happy to hear your input, and also would request that no backlash to come to any other mods but myself. The majority of this post is my actions, my opinions, and If i anger or upset someone: It’s my responsibility to address/listen to it. My main blog is @penguinpatrolerarmy. Message me there.)

The text under the cut contains things regarding Hiatus and the state of television… If you are interested in reading about it. I figured i’d include these things as they do somewhat affect the blog:

To continue: The news of Adventure Time’s final season going to be dumped on Hulu makes me think the same is going to happen with Steven Universe. The main reason the network doesn’t air their episodes as often as TTG is because their longer overarching plot lines makes it harder for new fans to jump into it. Same thing happened with the Attack On Titan fandom, A large majority who only watched the anime and couldn’t access or didn’t want to read the manga moved on in what ended up being a 4 ½ YEAR hiatus… TV animation, especially story driven and action based shows that cost more to produce, isn’t as financially successful on cable today.

DVDs/Blu-rays are dying out to the digital market, so putting out every episode online where viewers can pay to watch them at anytime and at their own pace is the better for the company’s finances. That’s why Voltron: LD does so well and is booming in popularity… more people have Netflix today than they do Cable. Plus, fans who just outright purchase a show only have to worry about regular 6-month to 1 Year hiatuses before getting an entire season dumped out in a day… Sometimes even Less than that.

I apologize for rambling, but I wanted to get things stated while it was fresh in my mind.
