It’s another Whelmed Wednesday here at YoungJustice.tv! With #CrashtheMode coming up in a few weeks, all the hosts been very busy planning activities to help support the show. Have no idea what I’m talking about? Check out the Crash the Mode campaign here. We’ll need all the support we can get, so keep your eyes peeled for the next update!

Meanwhile, today I wanted to address a common issue I’ve seen floating all around the internet, especially with #CrashtheMode coming up: International Support. The fact remains that DC Universe is still unavailable to people outside the US, leaving many international fans frustrated. Many are unable to watch the show, and are unsure of how to support it when the content is unavailable to them. Therefore, I’ve compiled a list of things international fans can do to support both the fan campaign and the show, outside of buying DC Universe. So, my dear international friends, this one is for you:

If money is not an obstacle:

• Purchase episodes of YJ, or entire seasons on iTunes. Yes, it’s a little pricey. But again, the best way to support the show is by buying episodes and watching them. Someone please correct me if international fans cannot purchase episodes from iTunes.
• Purchase official Young Justice merchandise. Like the very cute Wally West plush found here.
• Purchase the official Young Justice comics on Comixology, and buy the paperback when it’s released in the near-future. These are wonderful reads and are all show-canon! Additionally, news broke earlier this week that the first few issues of the comics will be reprinted again. This is a FANTASTIC way to support the show, and may even get us some more comics in the near future!

If money is an obstacle:

• Binge the show on any legal platform that you can. Numbers are numbers, and any impact is something. Keep the show playing in the background, host a watch party, whatever works! Extend me an invite to your humble abode and I shall watch it with you..
• Tweet and contact DCU to ask about the service for international fans. While we haven’t yet heard any updates regarding access for international fans, it’s important to keep asking. By asking, you are expressing interest, which shows that there is a market!
• Follow #CrashtheMode very closely and participate. This is going to be a really fun campaign, y’all. We’re going to have streaming parties, hashtag marathons, and even a cast/crew appreciation week. We need your support! The best way you can help is by sharing and participating. We’ll only succeed if everyone gives it their all and does their part.

Stay whelmed, dear international viewers. I know the water seems a little murky, but we’ll all get through it together. Until then, spread the word, share the hashtag, and feel the aster!

Happy Whelmed Wednesday, beautiful people! I hope nobody’s missed me too much in my absence, and judging by the crickets chirping nearby, I think I’m going to call it safe on that note. A big thank you to Eric for filling in for me last week, I promise it was all in good effort. Because boy, do we have something coming for y’all. In case last week’s article freaked you out about a YJS4 renewal, fear not. It was all an elaborate plan. Here at YJTV, we strive to inform you of all the goings-on of the Young Justice community. With 61 days until the premiere of the second half of Young Justice: Outsiders, the fandom has gotten a little quiet. Therefore, we felt like it was time for a little mission. Unlike the team, however, this won’t be a recon: we need to make an explosion. It’s time to show the world how much we love Young Justice.

Until YJ returns, join us in promoting #CrashtheMode, a mass effort to show the world (and DC Universe) how much we care about this show and want it to be renewed for another season. Your team leaders are counting on you to give it your all in order to ensure the mission is a success.

Throughout the month of May, there are several tasks to complete. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Send in a short video letting us know why you love Young Justice. It doesn’t have to be long, just a few seconds at most. Don’t feel comfortable showing your face? Perfectly fine. Use whatever you want! Be it a Kid-Flash plush, a drawing, or just a quote. Any contribution is equally helpful. Once you have your clip, you can email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before the end of May, and then we will compile it into a collage vid.
2. Follow YJFANDOMFEST on Tumblr to gear up for #FandomFridays. During this month, you can submit an ask or submission nominating someone in the fandom to be recognized for their contributions. Every Friday in June, we will post these submissions using the tag #FandomFriday to spread awareness and thank our amazing fandom.
3. Keep an eye out for further instruction from us and other team leaders. They are hard at work ensuring that June and July are filled to the brim with Twitter hashtags, viewing parties, and other fun events. A calendar will be posted at the beginning of each month with the events planned.
4. Binge-watch the show and read the tie-in comics. It goes without saying, but the best way we have to show DCUniverse that we want more YJ is to give them numbers.
5. Promote, promote, promote. The only way this mission will succeed is if everyone spreads the word. We know this fandom is capable of amazing things, now it’s time to show the world. Share this post and get ready for a massive effort.

For this campaign, the team leaders are as follows: YJFanvids (twitter and tumblr) @YoungJusticetvsite (twitter and tumblr), @Young-Justice-Season-Three (tumblr), @YoungJusticeSlut (Ariel’s tumblr), @YoungJustice-Wiki (twitter and tumblr), @Perichat (tumblr). Please follow them and stay tuned as they will provide further instructions over the next 61 days.

Remember friends, the only way this is going to get the traction we need is by sharing. The original call to action will be floating around on both Twitter and Tumblr, so get right on to reblog on both those handles, using the hashtag #YJS4 and #crashthemode.

Good luck, and as always, stay whelmed!

It happened once before. The unthinkable. A show that had changed the way we look at some of our favorite DC Comics characters and gave them a journey of growth, aged them, and shared with us their triumphs and their failures, came to an abrupt and unceremonious end. The show ended it's two season run on an episode that had shocked the fandom to it's very core. (Read Ariel's thoughtful analysis of 'Failsafe' here). That left fans feeling hurt and betrayed, not by anything particular (except maybe Cartoon Network). It wasn't a satisfying ending.

Of course shows end but ideally good ones end on their own terms. The Arrowverse, for example, is going through such a change. Arrow, the title show of the CW's live-active superhero empire, has chosen to come to an end. They are wrapping up their storytelling the way they want to. It would be ideal for Young Justice to do so as well. Put a bow on the series and leave fans with a feeling of a complete journey.

In 2018, through the efforts of very many different fans, organizations and consistent campaigning, Young Justice was brought back to life as Young Justice Outsiders. A third season and another time jump to entice fans and move the journey forward. As we wait for the second half of season 3, so far, there are no indications that this will be its final season. At least not in terms of storytelling. So, if this does become the darkest timeline and we are left without a satisfying end to a multi-season/nearly decade long journey, what options are available to you?

1. Dive Deep Into Fan Fic: If you don't already write your own fan fictions for this show then you might consider imagining a way you'd like to see this huge storyline wrap up. Not a writer? No worries, we have our own writer and you can request short stories from her using our Drabble Request Form.
2. Join a Forum or Community: We have a forum right here in fact for all you Young Justice fans, but if that isn't your choice, there are HUGE communities on Reddit, Twitter, Deviant Art, Tumblr and even Discord that can provide support should the show come to an abrupt end.
3. Rally The Troops: When Young Justice ended the first time, fans gathered around each other to create the communities mentioned above. They worked tirelessly to create campaigns to write DC Comics, Warner Brothers and so on to get the show brought back. In fact, DC Universe was proud to be that source for the return. Much of their launch campaign came from listening to the fans and bringing the show back!

Now, we aren't at that point yet, and YoungJustice.tv plans to do our part for the fan community should the show not return for a fourth season, but really the best thing would be for us all to hear the show is coming back for season 4 before season 3 ends. How can we make that happen? Tune in next week, we've got some ideas!

Let us know what you think of this article in the comments below and in the forum!

What’s this, two posts in one week? I know, I’m surprised too. But I did promise drabbles this week, so I shall deliver. I figured it would be a fitting holiday gift, whether you’re celebrating Passover, Easter, or national Bulldogs are Beautiful Day. Yes, the last one is a thing. So take a break from binging YJ this weekend to eat some matzah, search for some eggs, and tell a bulldog they’re beautiful. In that order.

I have three more drabbles for you this week, thank you all for being so patient! Slots are open for next week, so feel free to fill out a request form here. Any and all ideas are great and welcomed, so long as they’re in the YJ-verse.

Here are the summaries and links to this week’s entries:

• During Season Three: Zatanna and Raquel catch up and relax on a coffee break, with little Amistad joining them.
• During Season Three: Will has an emergency and needs Artemis to watch Lian. Unfortunately for her, Violet and Tara are also her responsibility for the day.

Again, these were a blast to write, so I hope y’all enjoy them as much as I did! Have a wonderful holiday weekend again. And remember, always #keepbingingYJ
