How to fix args joining together?

The command is release (link) (what it does)

I'm bad at explaining but I want it to come out in this form:

script thread

link //arg1

what it does

gives perks //arg2

but what happens is that it takes from second one:

script thread

link gives perks//arg1

what it does

gives perks //arg2

if (command == "release") {

    if (!message.member.roles.some(r => ["administrator"].includes(r.name))) {

        return message.reply("you are not an admin");

    }

    message.delete().catch(O_o => {

    });

    const channel = message.guild.channels.find("name", "general");

    let arg1 = args.slice(0).join(" ");

    let arg2 = args.slice(1).join(" ");

    const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()

        .setAuthor("bot", "https://vgy.me/w6DAXP.png")

        .setTitle("script thread")

        .setColor(0x000000)

        .setDescription(arg1)

        .setFooter("bot", "https://vgy.me/w6DAXP.png")

        .setTimestamp()

        .addField("what it does", arg2);

    channel.send(embed)

}

The slice() method returns a shallow copy of a portion of an array into a new array object selected from begin to end (end not included). See Array.slice.

So, in your case, if,
args = ['links', 'gives perks']

Then, args.slice(0) will return ['links', 'gives perks'] as 0 is the begin and args.length is the end. That is why arg1 is links gives perks

You can just use arg1 = args[0] and arg2 = args[1]

I would recommend using arg1 = args.shift() and arg2 = args.join(' ')
