oh okay so since infold wants to start listening to complaints now, how about you fix the fucking skintone issues your black players have been dealing with since LAUNCH.
he may not be my flavor of tea but omg did you see the announcement that they’re gonna CANCEL Valko?? I feel sorry for you and the other people who were so excited for the new LI. I didn’t care for him at all but yall didn’t deserve that, should’ve just delayed him 😭😭😭
but when darker skinned players were trying to get their attention for MONTHS about their concerns, they couldn’t even bother to address it. they’re a fucking joke and i hope they suffer from this decision, i don’t even give a damn 😭😭
i'm rising from my grave once again to join the conversation on Valko and his cancelled release cause...what the fuck.
Infold might have the worst decision-makers in the history of business. even i have enough corporate experience to know that this was the complete wrong move.
so...you drop a bunch of Valko teasers, hype up his release, then cancel it because CN fans BULLIED you into it? his content is almost as popular as Sylus's was when he was being released. but, hey, let's ignore the global fans again, right?
Infold has proven over and over again that they could not give less of a fuck about the opinions of global fans. everything they do is for the approval of the CN fans. i don't say this out of any kind of hate for the CN fans, but...come on. the game would still be successful without them.
truthfully, i was on the fence about Valko when they first announced him. i always knew a 6th LI was coming (duh) but the timing did seem a little off. regardless, i was actually getting excited for his release as more content came out. so much for that, i guess.
i'd love to act like i'm not upset about this, but i lowkey feel like a wife whose husband has left for war indefinitely. Valko seemed like such a fun character, and i was genuinely interested in his storyline. no big beefy nerds for us apparently.
not only did they cancel Valko's release, but their statement says (and i quote), "We have decided to cancel both the launch and any further development of the new love interest. We also commit that no additional love interests will be introduced in future content plans."
right, so...you're changing your entire plan for this game based on some hate comments. we have ALWAYS known a 6th LI would be added to the game. now THAT is gone too? i'm at a loss for words.
i don't even know what to say about Infold at this point. they continue to disappoint. i'm still holding onto a little bit of hope that they might rescind their statement, but i don't think it's looking good. i highly encourage their execs to go back to college and retake some business classes. it might do them some good.
if i wasn't such a big Sylus fan, i'd say good riddance to the game entirely. i will say that i don't plan on spending any more money on it until Infold gets their shit together. best believe when another survey becomes available, i'll be going ham on it. i'll go to war for Valko if i have to fr.
edit: here's a petition i found and signed. i don't know if it'll do much good, but it's worth a shot.
the solution was to move forward with Valko and stop at six, not give into some brats throwing temper tantrums over pixels
fuck all of you whiny crybabies who threw a fit over this and ruined things for others. get a fucking life if you were throwing fits over pixels, you miserable cunts 🖕
i absolutely can’t believe they canceled valko’s launch but they’ll keep the home system that no one really uses, takes up a bunch of space and overheats every device that uses it for longer than 10 minutes, yet refuse to do anything about the the fact that the game is absolutely unplayable longterm because theres nothing to do. they won’t reset abyssal chaos or unicorn operations, they won’t give us new opportunities to farm diamonds outside of daily tasks, they don’t care to continue tender moments, bond stories or anecdotes. the chocolate shop is completely useless, the main story updates twice a year and the constant banners and reruns are completely exhausting.
like at this point they’re genuinely taking the piss what tf do you mean you completely scrapped the only thing that brought any fresh wind into this otherwise really monotone game.
I understand that they have to get money to further develop the game but if it’s for completely useless stuff that no one asked for, nor to develop the MAIN STORY or the combat aspect of the game that are literally the main things that even make this a game in the first place, what even is the point
In honor of me tuning in again for love island usa w my roomie this szn...
lads boys during Love Island couple games 😍
so there's so many diff challenges so imma give examples and break it down into specific parts of a challenge that require ...
anything w/ speed:
[foot races, eating quickly, matching, etc]
Xavier would be done with any solo relays required by the time the timer signals to begin. Did they say the two of you have to complete the race together? Well now you're just worrying you'll slow him down but he pulls you to his chest easily to drop a peck on your cheek. His voice is too soft for the mics to pick up when he tells you reassuringly that he picked you as his partner as a reason. His relaxed demeanor helps you remain calm and confident when you both complete the challenge with swift ease.
Zayne ensures your safety and remains strictly within rules when he knows speed challenges can put the clumsiest (you) at risk. However, you are the quicker of you two, Zayne remaining in the stationary position to pass you whatever items needed for you to quickly finish the challenge. You jump into his arms when the timer goes off, his strategy paying off so you beat the other couples by a handful of seconds.
Raf would make for the most entertaining couple to watch as a viewer. During a race against time, I can see him as the one that starts screaming as the timer gets to the final ten seconds. Don't let swimming be a part of the challenge though or he's completed and ready for the next part of the relay before anyone else has even gotten in the water. When racing as a duo, this couple would be frantically yelling back and forth at each other the whole way in a way that's got all the bystanders laughing.
Sylus is cool, calm, and collected. The way he wins his solo portion with a sly grin tells you that he never expected to lose in the first place. When you team up, he's not one afraid to let you shine in most of the duo races so that he can join in on praising you. He leans into your ear casually so the camera doesn't catch, deep voice proposing that maybe he should give you a reward of his own for winning the challenge for them.
Caleb wins solo speed challenges with the athleticism of a man who trained his body to be a weapon. He mentioned going through vigorous training when joining the air force during his introduction on the show and all the viewers can tell. Caleb remains encouraging throughout the challenge with a healthy dose of teasing to raise your competitive spirit. When you work with him together to beat the clock, he cheekily tells you he already feels like he's won just being able to admire you like this. You tell him to stop distracting you and the cameras catch the grin you fail to hide with the roll of your eyes.
anything w/ precision:
[puzzles, balancing, measuring, etc]
xavier has got that swordsman style accuracy yk. When asked to do any challenges with precise hand-eye coordination, he's already found the perfect technique to complete the challenge in a number of quick, sharp movements in seconds. He's adapting his movements easy enough to perfectly balance anything that needed to be stacked, tossed, or solved.
zayne told the villa he works as a doctor outside of here and he was not kidding. His movements are the definition of precise during these challenges. No matter if the challenge requires a hand, elbow, leg, nose even, he’s already maneuvering easily and steadily until the final act is completed and you both have won.
raf being the ADHD whiner he is in my head (LOL), it takes him the longest to complete these kinds of challenges. He's busy cursing the inanimate objects that aren't doing what he wants them to do just because that's what he wants. However, when it gets down to the wire with the time limit, he fully locks in for the finals seconds to complete this irritating challenge with fluid movements.
sylus is the type to one shot something, we know this. Whatever objects he's balancing never even teeter after he's placed them. He's confident in each of his choices, using the knowledge from watching previous couples to plan before trying his personal way that just so happens to work on his first try. How did he do that ?
caleb would enjoy watching you try the first couple times by yourself, struggling only slightly until the time constraint gets you frustrated. It gives him exactly what he wants.. you looking up at him prettily over your shoulder to ask (demand) for his help. You reprimand him to stop watching and help! He throws his head back in laughter before jumping in to finish your hard work, giving you a well needed break and time to admire how his smile shines even brighter under the summer sun.
anything w/ a hot mess:
[specifically: a big slime pool]
xavier is quick to catch you when you slip on the slimey substance thats everywhere, his quick reflexes working in your favor as you shoot him a grateful grin over you shoulder and watch his pale cheeks flush while his expression stays perfectly neutral. This is the only challenge he doesn’t mind moving his usual slow pace, lathering you up in as much of the messy substance as possible in that pool so you could hop out and drip it into the winning bucket to hopefully fill it to the finish line. It defintely takes multple trips and xavier takes no shame in taking his time to lather your body again and again and— other islanders are telling him he could help too but that man never leaves his post LOL
zayne suggests you cup your hands together beside his to make a larger surface area with depth to ensure you can fill the jar quicker (he was creating his plan on the sidelines while watching other couples go first). You get him flustered by letting the slime pool between your fingers to drip onto your chest, giving him a seductive, reading look. You can hear his breath hitch with how close you are together, his ears growing red as you share the fun by pressing your half naked chest up against his in your cute swimwear set. When he finally breaks eye contact, you laugh pleasantly and get back to the original plan.
raf demands you don’t get any of the messy goo in his hair, cringing at the feeling of jumping into a slimey pool of it. He complains about why it couldn’t just be water since you guys already look a hot mess from the earlier parts of the challenge. To lift his spirits, you make a show out of throwing your ass back on him and his slick fingers are grabbing your waist eagerly. The other Islanders cheer at the little show before you fall to your knees in the pool with a laugh, telling Raf to go finish the challenge now.
sylus is the first guy to use his shirt as a makeshift container for the slime, dipping it into the pool to carry a large amount of it at once. instead of slow drips of goo, a mass amount gets dumped into the bucket, filling to the finish line easily and look at that. You didn’t even have to get dirty, watching him win in one trip. You help rid the rest of the slimey liquid from his shirt by making a sensual show of feeling up his washboard abs before milking the hem of his shirt by his waistline like it was something else..
caleb pulls you into the pool with him with a laugh, both of you getting fully covered. You scream at him, splashing slime in his direction before pooling some together in your hands to transport. He does the same and also tells you to hold still above the bucket so that he can wipe small amounts off your ass (and honestly this much is not moving the needle but he swears on being thorough but we know what he's doing.) You jokingly throw your hips back to help, ass firm against his hands still as it shakes. He slaps, hard, watching it jiggle more from the force of his hand and then he’s reaching out to squeeze it between his fingers in a trance, the slime making it easy to slip across your skin and hello, Caleb? The challenge, remember?
lastly, the final make out sesh:
[imagine this one in a fake shower]
xavier allows himself to be roughly pushed down by you onto the floor of the confined space for you two to share a steamy kiss and give everyone a show. You have no problem showing everyone else in the villa how closed off Xavier is to meeting anyone else. When you begin shamelessly rolling your hips down onto his lap, he flips the two of you with ease so that his body entirely pressed against you to take more of what he wants. The cheers from the other Islanders brings you back after a few moments of breathing in nothing but Xavier, remembering how this is all being televised, pushing at his chest to warn him before things went too far.
zayne offers a hand to you but you're jumping to wrap your legs around his waist instead as he carries you under the spray of water. Your lips are on him immediately and he's pressing you into the wall, strong hands gripping handfuls of ass while he has you hidden from view. You pant into his mouth, raking your hands through his wet hair. His breathing is labored and you feel his deep voice down to your core when he praises you underneath the cool spray of water.
raf is eagerly pushing you in, taking the opportunity to push you against the wall so that he can press his chest against your back. He takes his earlier frustrations from the challenge out on you as grips your chin to seize your lips in a kiss hotter than the beating sun outside. Water sprays down on you to wash the colorful slime away while Raf rolls his body against yours to feel more of what you teased him with earlier. Every time he pulls away to catch his breath, he catches the lustful glint in your eyes while you blink prettily at him from where you're pinned and he's offering you a litany of poetic praises about how beautiful you look for him.
sylus would have you caged in with those strong biceps so much so that you don't even get sprayed with any of the water. His tall, broad form hovering over you as he kisses you sweetly. You realize he's still letting you set the pace and your lust for him grows even more. Your hands rest on his sculpted chest and chase his lips to deepen your kiss. It's easy to forget where you are and when he’s pulling away you’re a bit dazed. You have to blindly reach for his hand that he has offered to walk the both of you back to your seats because your head still feels light.
caleb holds both of your hands to pull you under the water with a cheeky grin. Then he's pulling you to his chest, pinning your hands to his chest with a large palm stretched over your wrists. You can't reach for him through your new restraints as that same grin approaches to seal his lips over yours. His other hand comes up to wrap around your throat firmly and you're moaning into his mouth, body responding magnetically to his every touch as water falls all around you.
Anyways hehe fun to be back on my love island bs, this might be my last idea for this rn 🤔 someone got more ideas? Didn't realize I did so many parts of this LOL maybe winning couples shit next? Idk how much there is there but..
xavier loves when you get longer nails so you can scratch his head when he rests it in your lap, and if you stop for even a second he'll whine and peak open his eyes up at you like a disappointed cat until you keep going
sylus runs warm, and most of the time you end up not even covered by his plush duvet, but by him. His arms snug around your waist and his head on your chest the perfect blanket as you fall asleep.
zayne has this cute way of teasing you by stealing your candy on occasion. He'll kiss your cheek then your lips, lulling you into a false sense of affection then will slip the candy right out of your mouth with that slight smile on his face.
caleb puts you an air jail when you're being petty and giving him the silent treatment, and only lets you down if you agree to give him a kiss and tell him why "his pipsqueek is being so moody."
rafayel insists on applying your lipgloss/lipstick for you. He always steals your lip gloss before you can put it on yourself, insisting that his artist's eye can do it better. He'll gently tilt your chin up with two fingers, carefully applying it while studying your face with far more concentration than the task requires. Once he's finished, he'll lean back with a satisfied smile and hum, "Perfect."
♡ princessxmin please do not alter, copy or translate my work !
Pls all of these are adorable and I instantly got hit w dirty thoughts about Zayne here. 🌚
Something about the thought of Zayne stealing candy from your mouth slowly, thick fingers slipping past your lips to pull it from your tongue with medical accuracy before popping it from your lips. A breathtaking, agonizing watch to have his green eyes pinning you down as he brings the candy to his lips wordlessly to suck the sweet, wet into his mouth while hovering over you and I --
You’re not even really sure what happened. You’re having a good time, you are. It feels good, and you normally like this position.
So why do you feel so…dirty?
He notices your change in demeanour, the way your moans cease and you go quiet. He stops, pulling out slowly and reaching for you. You resist for a moment, not wanting him to see you crying.
“What’s wrong?” He sounds so worried about you. It’s his nature, to worry.
“Nothing I-I’m fine. We can keep going.” You sniffle, and his decision becomes firm. His arms come around you, pulling you into his lap and hugging you.
“We’re done, okay? Does anything hurt?” The tears are rushing out now, and you have to swallow your sobs to answer.
“N-no. I-I’m fine really I don’t-I don’t know what happened.” You don’t need to go into detail. Zayne hums in understanding, cool hand stroking your heated skin as he holds you closer.
“It’s okay. Let it out.” He presses a kiss to your head as you sink into his embrace, sobbing.
When you begin to calm down, he helps you sip some water, wrapping the blanket around you. Zayne doesn’t let you apologize, not for this, but you don’t let him say it either. It’s no one’s fault, the two of you agree.
notes: just silly fluff, xavier is codependent, zayne is #stressed, rafayel is #indistress, sylus is offended, and caleb is kinda normal but jealous (who is surprised), no explicit mentions of gender (!!!), that’s it (i think)
p.s. dark mode again yayyyyyy Also can u spot me in one of these…giggles (dodges tomato)
a/n: rachel with another bullshit idea who is surprised…ty for reading (- -)(_ _)
