your personal space has never really truly been yours since you’ve started dating him. his muscled arm around your waist when you wake up in the morning, has become as familiar as the sunrise itself. it used to be cute, his warmth a cozy start to the day. but now, it's suffocating, like he can't bear to let you go, even in his sleep.
you shift carefully under his weight, not wanting to disturb his sleep. his breath keeping its steady rhythm against your neck, and you wonder if he dreams of you as you lean in to kiss his forehead gently. he smiles in his sleep, a small, contented expression that almost makes you want to slip right back into his arms.
the sheets rustle softly as you slip out from his grip. you slowly tiptoe across your shared bedroom, craving the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy making coffee alone. the smell of freshly ground beans fills the kitchen, and you lean against the counter, enjoying the quiet morning.
but as your coffee brews, a twinge of guilt creeps in and you can almost imagine when he'll wake up and wonder where you've gone. despite enjoying the well needed alone time, you knew the longing to be close to him will pull you back into his embrace sooner than you'd planned. almost as if in complete sync with your thoughts, you hear a mumble approaching the kitchen, and then his voice, thick with sleep, calling out softly,
"angel cmon back to bed with me, you know i don’t like sleeping without you"

Below is a summary of the latest discussions circulating across Chinese platforms. Some information comes from official sources, while other points are based on reports and discussions within the Chinese community, so please keep that distinction in mind.
🌙 Chapter 1 — The Lawsuit, Tencent, and the Pressure on Love and Deepspace
On May 8, Paper Games (Infold), the developers of Love and Deepspace, won a lawsuit against Archosaur Games (the developers of Silent Whispers).
However, what caught the community's attention wasn't the verdict itself: during the legal proceedings, it became public that Tencent is one of Archosaur Games' largest shareholders.
For anyone familiar with the gaming industry, Tencent hardly needs an introduction. The company has often been accused of using aggressive competitive strategies, including large-scale media campaigns, bot activity, and attempts to influence public opinion against competitors.
Because of this, many players believe that the recent wave of attacks against Love and Deepspace may not be entirely organic.
According to reports circulating within the Chinese community, Shanghai authorities continue to support Paper Games, as Love and Deepspace contributes significant tax revenue to the city.
At the same time, pressure against the game has not completely stopped.
Posts making serious accusations against Paper Games—including allegations of transferring money overseas—are still appearing on Chinese social media. Such accusations are considered extremely serious in China.
The good news!!~
The global community's response appears to be making a difference.
Compared to the first days of the controversy, the tone of media coverage has noticeably shifted. There are fewer hostile articles, and much of the discussion has moved away from the original accusations.
Meanwhile, players have noticed several encouraging developments:
🤍 Negative posts about Valko are increasingly being removed from major Weibo discussions.
🤍 Positive comments are being left untouched.
🤍 Community polls about a sixth Love Interest have begun showing growing support for Valko.
🤍 Valko's song has already been released on Chinese music platforms.
Because of these developments, many players believe that Paper Games still wants to release Valko, and that the support shown by the global community is helping the studio withstand the current pressure.
That is why continuing to talk about Valko and keeping the #BringValkoBack campaign alive is so important.
🌙 Chapter 11 — Fighting the Hate Campaign
According to player reports, Love and Deepspace has been actively removing hate and bad-fake-info posts targeting Valko.
Chinese players have also been mass-reporting defamatory posts in an effort to reduce their visibility. If you come across clearly abusive or misleading posts, you can help by reporting them as well.
And.. perhaps the best news:
>> The wave of hate finally seems to be slowing down.
>> More and more players are openly posting Valko fan art, discussions, and edits without immediately being flooded by harassment.
🌙 Chapter 111 — The Unexpected Raccoon
A new raccoon plush was quietly added to the game. Without any announcement.
Normally, new collectibles like this are promoted on the official social media accounts, which made this addition feel unusual.
What caught players' attention even more was its description. Many fans noticed that it closely resembles the description of Valko's unreleased 4★ Memory, in which he and the Main Character were reportedly supposed to watch a movie together.
Whether this is an intentional reference or simply a coincidence remains unknown. But the similarity has quickly become one of the community's most talked-about theories.
🌙 Chapter 1v — The Strange Silence Around Bilibili World
Ticket sales for Bilibili World are expected to begin very soon. However, Love and Deepspace has yet to announce anything regarding the event.
Meanwhile, Silent Whispers has already begun promoting its participation.
Some players have also pointed out that one of Silent Whispers' characters bears a noticeable resemblance to Valko, although with a different hairstyle and color palette. Whether that's meaningful or merely coincidence is up to each person to decide.

🌙 Chapter v — Changes on Instagram
One small observation: official Love and Deepspace Instagram account recently removed the pinned posts featuring the multi-banner and Zayne rerun. Those posts were still pinned earlier that day.
Does it mean anything? At the moment, nobody knows. But the community continues to watch for any unusual changes.
🤍 Right now, the future remains uncertain.
We still don't know what final decision the developers will make regarding Valko. But one thing is becoming increasingly clear: his story isn't over yet.
So let's keep supporting him!!
Keep creating fan art, keep writing stories, keep signing petitions!!
Keep sending respectful emails. Keep showing the developers that players around the world still care. As long as people continue talking about Valko... There is still hope.
We describe depression as a mood disorder, a chemical imbalance, a constellation of symptoms to be managed and endured. These definitions capture mechanics but miss the essential horror: depression doesn't simply cause suffering. It actively resists its own cure.
Anyone who has been trapped inside it recognizes the pattern. You think about calling the doctor and immediately a voice emerges: "It won't help." You consider therapy and it responds with surgical precision: "You've already tried that." Someone suggests medication and it deploys your own memories against you: "Remember how bad the side effects were? Remember how nothing worked?"
These aren't random intrusions or neutral byproducts of dysfunction. They are arguments. They follow logic. They anticipate objections. They have a singular goal, to keep you from seeking treatment. They emerge precisely when you move toward help, armed with your own history, speaking in your own voice but serving interests opposed to your survival.
This reveals depression as something far more sinister than a passive mood disorder. It operates like a cognitive parasite: a system that has colonized your decision-making apparatus and repurposed it to ensure its own continuation. It generates thoughts that serve its survival rather than yours. It makes its self-protective arguments feel like your most authentic insights.
The Evolutionary Logic of Mental Parasites
A parasite doesn't require consciousness to develop sophisticated survival strategies. Malaria manipulates mosquito behavior to increase biting frequency. Rabies rewires mammalian aggression to maximize viral spread through saliva. Toxoplasma gondii alters rodent behavior to reduce fear of cats, ensuring the parasite reaches its preferred host. These parasites succeed not by brute force but by hijacking instinct, exactly the way depression hijacks thought.
Depression operates according to the same evolutionary logic. Over millions of years, the patterns we now call depression have been refined into a system that excels at persistence. The thoughts it generates, the beliefs it reinforces, the behaviors it promotes – all serve to maintain the depressive state and prevent its elimination. What feels like profound insight about your hopeless situation is actually the disease speaking through your cognitive machinery to protect itself from therapeutic intervention.
The Parasite's Defensive Arsenal
Shame as camouflage. Depression convinces you that the primary threat isn't the illness itself but the social consequences of acknowledging it. It generates certainty that seeking help will expose you as fundamentally broken in ways others will immediately recognize and judge. This shame doesn't originate from external social pressure. It's manufactured internally by the disease to disguise itself as reasonable social anxiety.
Hopelessness installed as deterrent. The disease installs absolute certainty that treatment is pointless, that you are beyond help, that your suffering is permanent and unchangeable. This isn't depression speaking truth about your situation. It's the illness generating the one belief system that guarantees its own survival. Hopelessness feels like clarity, like finally seeing your circumstances without illusion, but it's actually the most sophisticated lie the disease tells.
Rationalization deployed as decoy. Depression deploys your own intelligence against you, generating coherent arguments against action that feel like careful reasoning. The last medication failed, so why try another? Therapy is expensive. Maybe you'll get better on your own. These aren't insights discovered through reflection. They are symptoms masquerading as logic, using your cognitive abilities to construct barriers between you and treatment.
Identity captured as conquest. The most insidious strategy involves convincing you that the illness isn't something you have; it's something you are. Depression insists this suffering represents your authentic self finally revealed, that you're not sick but simply weak or broken in ways that treatment cannot address. Once you mistake the disease for your identity, you'll protect the disease as if protecting yourself.
Amnesia as erasure. Depression severs access to memory depending on your state. In an episode you cannot recall what wellness felt like. In remission you struggle to remember the logic and weight of hopelessness. This state-based amnesia isolates you in the present, making despair feel permanent and recovery feel impossible, ensuring the disease protects itself by erasing continuity between selves.
The Implications for Treatment and Policy
If depression generates its own thought-stream designed to prevent treatment, then self-report during depressive episodes becomes fundamentally compromised. The voice providing explanations for treatment avoidance isn't neutral; it's adversarial. When someone says they don't want help because "it won't work" or "I don't deserve it," they're not expressing authentic preferences. They're transmitting the disease's survival programming.
This reframes everything about treatment approach. Avoidance isn't choice, it's a symptom. Resistance isn't preference, it's the illness defending itself. The person refusing help isn't making a rational decision about their care; they're being spoken for by the disease that hijacked their decision-making.
And it completely reshapes policy priorities. Public awareness campaigns that target external stigma are fighting the wrong war. The real barrier isn't societal judgment, it's an internal adversary that generates shame, hopelessness, and resistance from within. External acceptance cannot override an illness that sabotages from the inside, using the host's own cognitive architecture against them.
The Language We Need
We need new language for this reality. Depression isn't passive weight that makes life harder. It's an active force that strategically opposes its own treatment. It's not a mood that comes and goes, it's a survival system that has evolved to persist.
Not a mood. Not just imbalance. A parasite of the mind, protecting its own existence at the expense of yours, speaking in your voice to convince you that seeking help is dangerous, pointless, or unnecessary. The voice telling you not to call the doctor isn't you being realistic about treatment options; it's the disease protecting itself from elimination.
Until we recognize depression as an adversarial system rather than a passive condition, we'll keep failing to treat it effectively. Antidepressants work when they reach the disease, but the disease excels at preventing people from taking them in the first place. Therapy succeeds when patients engage with it, but the illness specializes in generating reasons why therapy is pointless or harmful. The most effective treatments in the world cannot help people who never access them because a parasite in their head has convinced them that seeking help represents weakness or futile effort.
The real enemy operates undetected, using our own minds against us, ensuring its survival by disguising its self-defense as our self-preservation.
The cure exists. The parasite has just convinced you it's the poison.

credits to me. feel free to use and save. of course credit would be appreciated but it is not required. I’m just making these for fun <3 | requested by @kirayuki22 ( if you don’t like these please don’t hesitate to tell me + I actually love how these turned out, pls enjoy and I hope you love them 🤎💚 )
bf!bkg who cannot stand seeing you put yourself down when it comes to taking what you want from him.
“Kats,” you sigh. “I don’t want to…”
Bakugo interrupts you, a hand coming up to brush the hair from your face. “Baby, you’re not usin’ me. Ya earned me fair an’ square. What’s the hold up?”
You actually don’t know why you’re hesitating. Hell, Bakugo loves when you come home and are all over him, climbing into his lap and kissing his neck until he melts into the couch cushions. It actually annoys him how easy his brain shuts off the second your lips meet his skin, an instant chemical reaction.
Now? You suddenly feel guilty for ‘using’ your boyfriend — it’s stupid. You know it is, considering your thighs are clenched and all you’re doing is standing in front of him.
“Enough’a that,” Bakugo declares, his voice taking on a low rumble that makes your face flush. “I told ya, I’m keepin’ every fucking moment of you givin’ yourself to me. If you wanna use me for comfort or release or whatever the hell you’re feelin’ right now... it’s yours. I’m yours — body, mind and fuckin’ soul.”
He pauses, his arms hooking around your waist to press you against him.
“So stop askin’ permission and just fuckin’ take what’s yours."
