Chapter Text
As you can see from the title, I'm discontinuing this story, despite how short it's life has been. I had the whole thing planned too...
I shouldn't need a reason to explain why, but I'll do so anyways.
Stephen's original video made me feel better that he wasn't stealing with a toxic relationship, but it made me concerned for everyone else involved. When he explained the story it didn't really get to me too much. I'm not affected by ethos(emotion), but by logos, or Logic.
I thought maybe Dan would make a video or even Hosuh but that never happened, and I've given it two weeks of thought and patience.
When I watched Jay's video the seriousness of Dan's fuckups finally hit me. Not only was Stephen fucked over, but everyone was; the numbers and the word for word accounts of Dan's actions and things he said that Jay brought up prompted me to leave the Danplan fandom in general.
I still support the creators on their own and I'm still waiting for Dan's response, but I really doubt he could redeem himself by now, and it's very likely that the channel will only go downhill from here on out.
If I were to continue this story it'd make me feel sick and disrespectful towards the wishes of those involved, and writing Dan's character into things would just feels like I'm trying to hard to make him seem better than he's acting, and it's really hard to ignore it.
I'm putting out the two things I had prewritten unedited and I'm leaving it at that. There's a Sanders Sides oneshot book coming instead if you're interested :/
I actually really liked this book too :(.
