Hey so this is heavy but I just wanted to rant but didn't know to who so you can just ignore and delete this ask. I just wanted to let it out to someone

I feel like the left are becoming more and more like the right in awhite supremacy sort of way...I know a lot of poc have many different experiences than white people but it feels like a lot are trying to use that as a crutch only and for morality points...like it's been happeningfor a while but this is the most recent thing that made me think like that...there were these two influencers that apparently were in a relationship and the woman is white while the man is indigenous and so the man asked if she'd be interested in a poly relationship but she said no and he agreed but recently she found out that he was sleeping with 2 other women and also violated her body (she wanted protected sex and he lied that he was wearing a condom)(Also the other two had identical stories of them thinking that they were the only onse) so this spread like wildfire in tiktok and while there were a lot of people on the womens' side a lot of people said that they were just using white woman tears to try to put the indegenous man in danger for a small thing as cheating and that they were just "played". I dunno but it last time I checked we should hold everyone accountable and people just keep saying how men are trash and can't find a good one WHILE supporting someone being an asshole just because they like him and agree with him on some takes.

Also not to mention the amount of people HATING interracial couples...the amount of comments and videos I've seen which say how "poc are betraying their race by dating outside of their own" or something along those lines...and it all comes out of leftists and people who consider themselves antiracist...it just I dunno doesn't really sit well with me

Again this is heavy and a lot and I'm sorry but I just needed to rant because I felt like I was gonna explode but again you can ignore this and delete it

Hey there! You're welcome to rant in my inbox anytime, so don't worry about it 🥰

Yeah, I agree!! 😬 like a lot of them in an attempt to sound woke somehow do a 180 and end up sounding like the right instead. Like, I once saw a post that was like "white people and black people can't date she's there's a power dynamic between them and they wouldn't be equals and it would be an unhealthy relationship" like. What the fuck? Idc what your logic is you still sound like a racist person who doesn't want white people being in interracial relationships with black people 💀

OOF that's horrible :(( I hope the woman is safe and doing better now. God, people are so fucking stupid like why would you say that she's playing the victim when she IS a victim??? And how did she "put him in danger" anyway?? Unless she called the cops on him or something she's not putting him in any risk??? That man cheated on her and violated her (I hope she drags him to court. It's illegal to tamper with birth control in some US states right?) and he's just reaping the consequences.

And, YEAH, there's a long history of white women using fake tears to throw moc under the bus and play the victim, it takes literally 2 seconds of critical thinking to understand that this is NOT one of those cases 🤦‍♀️

The interracial couple hate 💀 like I said, they somehow end up doing a 180 ksksks. Like, "Oh, you think that white people should date only white people and black people should date only black people? Congrats! You now sound like your racist uncle whom you complain about every Thanksgiving!!"

This didn't feel heavy to me tbh, probably cause I'm used to reading about topics like this from reddit posts so dw about it!

Sending you a tight hug, anon! Take care! 😘

Seromina || Firsts

For Sero Ship Week Day 3: Firsts at @seroshipweek

SUMMARY: Ashido tends to overshare her personal life on social media so it’s only fitting that she shares her favourite moments on it too, right?

But this time, it’s only for one pair of eyes.

GENRE: sero hanta x ashido mina, social media au (I think?)

TEXT from your queen 💕

POSTS

[Image: Candid of Sero taken from the side; slightly blurry, low angle as if the photographer was trying to be discreet as they took it. He’s wearing an orange hoodie with black stripes. He’s grinning at someone in front of him and he holds a bitten meat pie in one hand. In the background, there are barely visible bowling lanes.]

Caption: the first time i thought to myself “maybe seros actually cute and i actually like him in a like like way” if that make sense lol. maybe there were other times but this was the earliest memory i could think of. this was after that laser tag game we all played and you did your whole dramatic self sacrificing for me (lol quickest way to my heart - take a laser tag shot for me).

[Image: Image of the city taken from inside a bus. Half the image is of the seats of the bus whilst the other half are buildings of the city. A few people are in the shot, but they’re faces are unrecognisable.]

Caption: first time I realised I was in loveeee (i love youu) how cheesy amirite. its a bus because i realised it when we were going back to ua together after a field trip and idk i just had this light bulb moment ok ugh this is too cheesy were done here ily but im cringing too hard at the cheesinesssss (two posts in and im already dying but im pushing thru!!!!)

[Image: 2 puppies being held by someone who is clearly Sero by the look of the arms and his orange black striped hoodie. One puppy in each arm; a white pit bull and a brown one.]

Caption: our not-so-official first date?? idk if you’d call it that but like......we were alone together so idk??? u know i was going to actually confess today but the dogs were so cute they distracted me!! so i forgot lol!!! (theyre only sliiiiiightly cuter than u dw dw!!! 🤣)

[Image: Sero’s silhouette inside a movie theater. He’s facing the camera but it’s too dark to see much other than the shadows of his face and the glint of his white teeth in his grin. In the far left of the photo, the Lego Movie is playing.]

Caption: our official first date (tho i guess it was kinda rushed??? considering i literally told u i liked u like an hour earlier lmao but i wouldnt have it any other way ❤️)

[Image: Ashido’s room, taken from the doorway. The bed is unmade; the curtains are drawn back to let the sunlight in; the desk is a mess of school books and loose sheets. Ashido’s arms are outstretched in front of the camera; she’s forming a heart with her hands.]

Caption: place we had our first kiss!!! (tho we failed like five times and kept laughing!! the movies are wayyyy too serious - they make it seem like ur not allowed to laugh!! our kisses are so much better😘)

[Image: Pathway leading up into a park where cherry blossom trees frame the edges. There are a few passerbys and one dog, legs a blur, running through the image.]

Caption: place i asked you to be my boyfriend because SOMEONE STILL had this WEIRD idea that?? i??? didnt?? like?? them? EVEN AFTER?? LIKE FIVE DATES?? AND FIVE KISSES???

[Image: UA Heights Alliance common room. Looking through the windows, it’s night and there’s no one in there but there’s food wrappers strewn across the coffee table and the floor.]

Caption: place you said your first i love you (ok i suppose i shouldnt be salty about the boyfriend asking thing because first ilys are such a milestone!!!! ps. im still sorry i panicked when u said it lmao i love how we laugh about it but i know from sources coughbakuyellingthat1tapeboiwasstressingashell that you almost cried ilyyyyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️)

[Image: Close up focus of Sero’s lit up face. He’s giving a close-eyed smile to someone slightly to the left of the camera. Just making it in the frame is a slice of bright blond hair. The background is blurred but it is clearly of a busy beach; the sky is blue and there’s not a cloud in sight. There are two figures, one shirtless with red hair and one wearing a wetsuit cut off at the lower thigh with what might be black or dark purple hair in the water in the far background.]

Caption: when i said my first i love you (i love you toos and i love yous on phones dont count!!! and also u are sooooooo cute in this photo!!! not that ur not always cute ofc 😋)

[Image: Text screenshot. (Sent) Ashido: IM SO MAD AT U SERO HANTA ANSWER MEEE (Receiving) Sero: NEVER U TRAITOR (Sent) Ashido: UR THE TRAITOR!!!!]

Caption: first fight :( one of the saddest chapters of my life i hope we never do that again ❤️

[Image: Rice with natto on top, chopsticks on the side. The dish is on top of pink, patterned napkins.]

Caption: first (of many!!!!!!!!) anniversaries (see??? taking pics of food is VERY important!! and u dared to make fun of my ‘attempts at being aesthetics’!!)

[Image 1: Necklace in shape of a crown with engraving of words “Alien Queen”. Image 2: Necklace is flipped over with engraving of words “Ashido Mina”.]

CALL TRANSCRIPT:

Sero: How long have you been planning this? I love you so muchhhhhhhh. I’m crying, can you hear my tears? How did you do it? Did you go to every place or were you planning this from the beginning?

Ashido: *laughter* You can’t hear tears dummy. And you’re not meant to cry! Its meant to be a happy thing! *more laughter*

Sero: ...Glad to know your happy about my pain. ...Its amazing I have literally no words Ashido. I love it-I love you and I love us. Thank you so much.

Ashido: Awww don’t make me blush. It was nothing!

Sero: What do you mean NOTHING? Don’t insult yourself Ashido Mina this is...I don’t know-EVERYTHING!

Ashido: Okay that’s true. I’m awesome.

Sero: I’m going to treasure this forever. You’ll never delete this account right?

Ashido: *giggling* Course not!

Sero: It’s too amazing. Seriously, and I gave you the most cliche relationship present ever.

Ashido: Eesh don’t worry! I love my present! Besides it was the final piece for the account!

Sero: If you say so. You know, I don’t think a meme war counts as a fight...in a relationship...

Ashido: Of course it does! I was soooo angry at you. How could you side with Kirishima?! It was so frustrsting! You wouldn’t BELIEVE!

Sero: ...Trust me I believe. *muffled* Especially after you taped me to the ceiling.

Ashido: What was that?

Sero: Nothing! Also how’d you take the pic of your room with your arms in front of you? Is it...*whispers loudly* sorcery?

Ashido: *giggling* You got it. I have a second quirk that I-...I kept secret. Yup. But I’m telling you because you’re my boyfriend and all.

Sero: And I will totally believe you, because you’re my girlfriend, and all. Hey, I know you need your beauty sleep but can I come over--

Ashido: Yes!

Sero: --tomorrow--wait, what?

Ashido: Oh. Well-

Sero: *muffled snort* Someone’s desperate.

Ashido: *huff* Shhh! You can come over anytime!

Sero: Would you really not mind if I came over now? At like...*shuffling* eleven?

Ashido: Is that even a question? If you come over now, I can add it to the journal!

Sero: The journal?

Ashido: The account Sero!

Sero: Okay...Why? It’s not the first time I’ve been to your house. Firsts was the theme right?

Ashido: Yep! And I can make it ‘First night spent together’ wink wink.

Sero: …*muffled laugh* Whatever floats your boat.

Ashido: But you’re getting a cab here right? You better not walk out this late at night!

Sero: I mean, we’re both training to be heroes if we can’t walk out at night then what could we do--

Ashido: Sero you butt!

Sero: --but yes I’m getting a cab.

Ashido: Good! You better stay on the phone the whole time too!

Sero: Of course. I love you Ashido Mina.

Ashido: And I love you Sero Hanta! ...Wait are you still wearing that orange hoodie?

Sero: ...*distant mumbles* Why do you hate my beloved hoodie so much?

Ashido: *equally distant mumbles* If you wear it one more time the photos will think you have one hoodie.

Sero: What would you say if I said yes?

Ashido: I’d say we’ve got our next date planned and you can guess what it is.

Sero: ...I mean, I wouldn’t say no to any time with you anyway?

Ashido: Pfft, stop being cute. Just-alright, whatever. Tomorrow? At whatever time we wake up I guess?

Sero: It’s a date.

A/N: completely forgot that they live in the same building so pretend it’s holidays or something 🤷 buuuut i hope you enjoyed this was harder than expected so im rlly sorry if they seem ooc 😳!! Thanks for reading!!

Transformers Iacon Literature Fest 2019 Day 8: 18+ Lemon Day

It’s that time again! Time to share your favourite Transformers fanfics!

A caveat - I only picked fics that are completed. While I have a lot of excellent fics in my subscriptions on AO3, I am only posting ones that are done, for that instant gratification rush. :)

Also - if you know a Tumblr handle for the authors I’m missing, please let me know so I can tag them!

Lemons! And other types of citrus! Woohoo!

Also, since Tumblr helpfully deleted my post with my recs from last year (*eyeroll*) I’m going to re-rec them in this post. <3

Anyway, for all of these: curate your reading experience, mind the tags on the stories, and enjoy.

This year’s recommendations include:

Working Through It by @trinarysuns

“TC,” Skywarp says, “I’m, like, ninety percent sure that humans don’t have interface cables.”

Thundercracker squawks and almost knocks him over trying to get the script out of his hands.

I can’t say enough about this story. I love it and it pushed so many buttons for me. Not even smutty buttons, just interaction buttons: humans interacting with giant alien robots, old loves reuniting, logitical issues of interspecies getting it on...

Tumblr deleted my review of this story, too (SIGH) so I reposted my review on DW here. It says a lot more about this fic!

Be Mean to Me by @trebletwenty

The last thing Thunderclash was expecting when he followed Rodimus out of Swerve's to try and apologise for ruining his night out with Drift was to end up on his knees in front of him, with Rodimus induldging one of his biggest and most sorely neglected kinks, but he's not exactly about to complain.

This story was a bit of an eye-opener to me. First, this was a fic about a kink that I really wasn’t interested in, but it was presented in a way that suddenly made me sit up and take notice.

And second, it’s a ship that I didn’t know I needed until now. Excellent story!

And behind the cut are last year’s recommendations, reposted:

Honk, Honk by @fuzipenguin

Sunstreaker really needs to learn how to say 'no' to his twin...

Long story short, one day someone mentioned something about alt-mode sex. Something about how “well of course they would try interfacing in alt mode. I imagine it would be a particularly kinky thing to do.”

And yup - of course it would have been Sideswipe’s idea. XD Trying to picture how this would work was way more hot than I expected it would be. Also perfect: descriptions of awkward sex when trying a new position. Been there. >.>

Audition by crabapplered

If one were to be delicate, one would say that Jazz and Prowl are incompatible.

The blunt truth?

'You just lie there with this blank expression on your face,' he'd been told by his last partner. Signal had stayed longer then most, willing to try since Prowl was so obviously doing his best, interfacing to please his partner and give him what Prowl himself disliked. In the end, though, it hadn't worked. 'You don't like me touching you, you don't like the mess, you don't even like the overload, and half the time I swear you're running economic simulations in your CPU you look that bored. I don't want that. I don't want you miserable, and I don't want me miserable, either.'

So why can't Prowl stop wishing?

This was a) my first introduction to “plug and play interfacing,” and b) the first “smutty” story I read that involved an asexual character. (I’ve since gone on and devoured @fuzipenguin‘s Love is Still Love series, which also has a wonderfully-written asexual Sunstreaker. I love that series as well!)

Prowl’s efforts to win Jazz over - and the description of how he actually succeeds, and what it does for Jazz - is the hottest thing I’ve ever read that doesn’t actually involve humanized sexual organs. Reading and “seeing” Jazz finally let go and trust Prowl was so… Hnnnrgh. Love it.

Sweet Release by @ladydragon76

Jazz and Blue have an arrangement, but now that he’s getting serious with Prowl, things will need to be adjusted.

This is actually a three-part series that doesn’t have a series description, but it’s about how Bluestreak is in a BDSM relationship with Jazz, then Prowl is included… And how their relationship evolves.

It’s really well-written, and goes into some detail about why Prowl and Jazz would be interested in being subs, and what brought Bluestreak to want to dom. There’s also some plot along the way, which plays into the relationship between these three. Great story!

no re/blogs pls thx

this isn’t intense or triggering or what have you just really personal so that if someone re/blogs it even though i ask them not to i could delete the post anyway since it’s under a cut

honestly though i’m not exaggerating when i say that that taz animation saved “i can’t decide” for me like, the last time i actually listened to the song all the way through was two years ago, when my best friend who doesn’t even watch dw found a video of that simm!master scene from lottl and was like “oh you like dw what’s this” and played it

and i was putting laundry away in my dorm room while we were talking about this and i stopped and actually got into my closet and shut the door and went “please turn that off” and when he did i went and explained how tied that song is to a lot of my high school memories

like this isn’t a trauma thing it’s just... it so tightly connected to how i shut myself up in high school bc i was depressed and fictional worlds gave me a lot more meaning in my life than the real world. like a lot of it is just second hand cringe from my younger self about how intense and passionate i got about lucy/master and dissecting EVERYTHING about them. i now have a much better understanding of WHY i was doing that and i wouldn’t go back and change that if i could, but it’s just very much in a package of “this is my past and it’s shut and doesn’t need to be reopened. i’m different than this now; i’ve moved beyond it.” but a lot of it is still a very direct reminder of how utterly unhappy i was in high school.

i didn’t have a super solid idea of what real friendship was like until i went to college. i had a few select friends that were genuinely emotionally open with and didn’t criticize me for being myself and none of them went to my high school; they were all from pre-c programs. i had to leave my town to gain any decent kind of emotional intelligence and know how to actually apply, direct, and manage my empathy instead of just letting it hurt me and misapplying it all over the place.

and then i went to college and suddenly people were emotionally open and honest and blunt with me. and if they weren’t they were open to trying, or even just listening. and i wasn’t used to that and i didn’t believe it or understand it because i hadn’t really experienced it before. i have a very distinctive memory of my first semester freshman year, where i intentionally pissed off the person who is now my best friend to try and get him angry enough to not want to speak to me anymore. i was in a dark headspace and i was afraid of getting emotionally close to anyone like i had in high school and i thought i saw something coming and decided to just push him back a few paces. (and like, that was an awful, shitty thing to do and i know that now and i know that it being a product of various past things and emotions doesn’t make it right, and i’ve since been much more conscious of not doing shit like that)

and it like, didn’t work. we had this altercation i staged and then he was like “i have to go i have someone to meet” and he left and i just sorta assumed that he was gone forever and i was really sad but i had like, decided this was the right thing to do so i figured i’d get over it. but he came back after his meeting and was like “alright time to work this out and talk about it” and he was so calm and practical about it and i was fucking floored. like not exaggerating, i couldn’t understand what was going on. if i had done that to someone i was that close with in high school (and i might’ve, i don’t know. i don’t remember a lot of it) they would’ve yelled at me. one of my best friends in high school used to just scream at me when she didn’t like what i was doing because she said that’s how she would get through to me.

and i explicitly asked him like, “why aren’t you yelling at me” and he looked so confused and that’s when i started to understand that i was now in a place and among people where vulnerability was okay and people are allowed to fuck up and those fuck-ups aren’t erased but they’re contained and eventually forgiven. they don’t spread and bleed into other things and create really long-lasting grudges.

and this stuff keeps happening like, i use a lot of DBT terminology because DBT has helped me understand myself a lot and when i hear close friends of mine reference DBT terms or concepts it still sorta boggles my mind. because in some ways i’m still not used to people listening to me and remembering things i say. i’m not used to people being conscious of stuff that specific. and like, i don’t know why i’m justifying myself here but, that’s not to say that i was in a terrible abusive friend group in high school and that my life was a progression of awful shitty things. but it wasn’t good, and the net result was negative. and now some shitty things happen but the net result is so positive and i’m just really grateful to be able to continue to let go of things from my past and give them new meaning

rainbowkittn replied to your post “I just got the most disgusting and disrespectful review on ep. all I...”

That's so horrible. I want you to know that I subscribed to ep a long time ago. Since then I got sucked into Ghostbusters and haven't read any DW fanfic in months, until today. I got the email about the new chapter, and finally decided to go read the 10+ chapters I've missed. So, your fic is the only DW fic I've read in seriously about 4 months. I love it so much, and you should be so amazingly proud of it, no matter what the haters say. <3

aroseofstone replied to your post “I just got the most disgusting and disrespectful review on ep. all I...”

I am so, so sorry love. you pour your heart into this story and you share it with us, and you don't deserve any of this.

promisedyouforever replied to your post “I just got the most disgusting and disrespectful review on ep. all I...”

I will never understand why people act like this!! I'm so sorry!!! {{{{{hugs}}}}}

snufflestheanimagus replied to your post “I just got the most disgusting and disrespectful review on ep. all I...”

*hugs* all this shit going on sucks, the inauguration especially. you shouldn't have to deal w/those people on your awesome fic! ily

joi-in-the-tardis replied to your post “I just got the most disgusting and disrespectful review on ep. all I...”

You would think that basic human decency would be to leave you be about it since by your own words it's a sore subject. There's no reason to go on the attack on a FIC REVIEW. Sheesh

thanks so much for reaching out everyone. i appreciate it a lot.

i ended up deleting their second comment. i’m worried they’re just gonna come back and yell at me some more (they’re hiding behind anon right now like they coward jerk they are so it’d be easy for them to do so). so for now, at least on EP, i have turned off anon comments and enabled comment moderation.

i know this may be an inconvenience to some of my lovely loyal readers so i’m really sorry about that. but i can’t believe someone would come onto my fic - where i’m trying to escape by writing and interacting with you guys purely because i love it, not because i get paid or anything else - and harass me after i expressly said it was a bad day for me. and i just don’t want that to happen again. i hope you’ll understand.

i’m honestly in shock and kind of want to throw up. they don’t know me from eve and i can’t believe the disrespect they showed me. shows more what kind of person they are than the person i am.

but anyway, it’s deleted so let’s just all hope they leave me alone. this story means the world to me and i don’t want to let this jerk ruin that.

thank you guys again, every single one of you reading, really. i couldn’t continue without your support.

#rainbowkittn #aroseofstone #promisedyouforever #snufflestheanimagus #joi in the tardis #replies #writing stuff #i'm sorry for the drama #i just needed some reassurance tbh #and some virtual hugs #i could still use some more honestly so if you wanna chat

(trans.) [Day6 Magazine] Every Day6 August

(As usual, no links as it messes up my tags. There are also too many photos for this entire post; the original link can be found in their tweet from 2017/08/07. I have recently realised that they have deleted the magazines from July and earlier, after receiving a request to translate July’s magazine, so if you want to look at the photos and original text, do so quickly before they delete it! As per usual, my nonsensical ramblings are signposted with TN and you can delete them if you want. Let me know if there are any mistakes/anything that can be translated better. All translations under the cut.)

Prologue

Like the scorching sun, Day6’s month of August was also heated up. With intense rocking and a musical sound that is pleasing to the ears, and honest, straightforward lyrics that make the heart race, the new song of Every Day6 August.

Even if the title song “What Can I Do?” doesn’t reflect your own heart, a beautiful love lies in acknowledging and suffering the feeling of the act of falling in love.

With lyrics that everyone can identify with, “Whatever!” is about life that is dull and difficult, but just by letting your imagination run free for just a moment, you will be able to tap on the emotions of youths who bear the strength of each day.

Please listen to the songs that have hot, yet refreshing sounds, much like the height of summer.

DAY6FOCUS

Day6’s official, bright, comeback!

Corner: Q&A about every month’s album

Q. In July’s song “Hi Hello”, it seemed like love was going to blossom, but this month’s song is about a one-sided love (crush) again. Please introduce “What Can I Do?”

Jae: Yes, we came out with a song about one-sided love yet again…

YK: Rather than creating story that continues every month, we work hard in order to build up new emotions with each individual song. This month’s track has a big twist, and we put a lot of effort into the expressions.

Jae: You’re referring to the mood of the song, right?

YK: Yes, in the middle of the song, the mood undergoes a total reversal, so we put a lot of thought into expressing it in a way that is fun and not awkward. If you listen to the song you’ll probably know what I’m talking about.

Jae: I think we expressed that change well. It’s a good song… So good…

Q. Unlike the heart-breaking lyrics, the sounds are intense. It’s about expressing your great affection for the other person, what was the intention of making it this way?

YK: We had a contrasting reversal to the sound. In the beginning it’s really intense and… um…

WP: Wild!

YK: Yes, a really wild feeling, and in the later part it’s really bright and cheerful and…

SJ: Mild! (TN: lmao mild and wild, stop it sungpil)

Jae: Wild and mild ~ (TN: omg literally didn’t read Jae’s line before I typed the previous TN; high five Jae)

WP: The sound is intense, but on the other hand, we expressed intense affection. Kind of like, the emotions are getting so intense that it gets expressed in the sound; that’s how it came out.

SJ: The melody of the song itself also kind of has the feeling of – I want to express my heart, but I’m supressing my emotions, so I’m saying to myself “Why can’t you do that!”

Jae: We expressed the crushed, suppressed emotions through the fuzz noise right!

SJ: Yes~ That’s a great ending. That’s right. You arranged it perfectly. (TN: He’s referring to Jae’s ending comment to the question and lmao what a dad)

Q. The side-track “Whatever!” has a fast bpm and I expected an exciting, performance (live) sound, but it was surprisingly emotional. What was the aim of creating it like this?

WP: I wanted to express topics that come up amongst people our age.

YK: Wonpil gave me the idea.

WP: I met my friends not too long ago, and many of them were talking about how (life) is tough nowadays. I’ve heard a lot of students or people our age talking about the worries they have or tough times that they’re experiencing, and I thought about it a lot and talked to Young K about it. He immediately said, “Okay that’s good” and wrote it. As expected.

YK: Wonpil said he was sort of thinking about the image of bad/mischievous kids, so the atmosphere of a group of uniform-wearing playful kids meeting up and saying, “Let’s play!” came to mind. (The song) was made with that kind of theme, and I got inspiration for the lyrics with stories from Wonpil’s friends.

Q. Looking at the lyrics, it has the feeling of falling for a girl. Has Day6 fallen for anything recently?

SJ: I’ve recently fallen really hard for food.

YK: For me, animation (films)!

WP: Watching movies.

Jae: It’s always basketball.

DW: American drama! (TN: He actually used the Korean short form for ‘American dramas’) I’m currently watching Game of Thrones. (TN: BOI same I’ve been loving it since the very first episode, way too obsessed)

Day6: And also My Day!

Q. For this music video, you all wore uniforms and filmed at a school. What did you think about each other and are there any behind stories from the music video?

Jae: This time, filming was really new and interesting.

DW: For me, the character I play in the music video and me in real life is completely opposite. The character is really chic and cold, but I’m not actually like that, so it was really difficult.

SJ: But you suit the character really well. It’s one that fits Dowoon just right. (TN: I had a little trouble translating the second sentence most accurately and yet maintaining the actual meaning. It sort of has a “the character was made just for Dowoon” kind of interpretation)

YK: I was so embarrassed. So so so so embarrassed that my face became red. Wearing a uniform and acting was difficult.

Jae: Young K, Dowoon, and Sungjin really had a lot of scenes where they had to ‘act’, so watching it was really interesting. Wonpil and I were just ourselves. (TN: lmao pushing that Sungpil, I see you Jae, I see you)

WP: No, I was totally acting too. (TN: whatever you say my dude) When have I ever secretly stared at someone?

Jae: Every time you come into our room you always secretly stare…

SJ: It’s been so long since I took off my school uniform, so wearing a uniform after such a long time, to film, was a little awkward. It’s also been awhile since I was last in school, and I wondered if school was always this small; the table was small, the chair was small, everything was really small. I suppose I grew (up) a lot.

WP: I spoke a bit with the students there, and they have the exact same emotions and feelings that we used to have during our school days.

SJ: That’s right. Like the worries of the next day.

WP: It was really kind of touching.

SJ: We gave all kinds of advice and encouragements…

WP: It was really interesting.

Q. Say something to the fans during this hot summer

Day6: It’s really hot, so be careful of the heat, and please show lots of love to our August track “What Can I Do”~ Everybody stay healthy and don’t get hurt so that you can come for our concert and jump and play together!

Epilogue

In actuality, as you look back on the time that has passed, it doesn’t consist of only happy moments. However, as memories of our instantaneous happiness and momentary smile grows older, we tend to wear rose coloured glasses to recollect them. Isn’t the happiness that lies in the moments of a tired heart and tough reality, the strength that sustains us? This is what Day6 is conveying: That what is important, is to delight in the moment, in the now.
