This is a fanblog dedicated blog for the mobile game Love and Deepspace. I created this blog to post and reblog here all sorts of content, from theories and analysis, to Fanart and gif sets (do people even make gif sets now a days? 😭), to videos, edits. As well as protocore guides, or battle guides, or even lore explanations and explorations.
I won’t be reblogging every fanfic out there because there’s plenty, so I’ll only be reblogging personal recommendations. However, feel free to recommend me fanfics as well!
Feel free to drop an ask, or a submit a post too if you want to see your stuff in this blog! Or just drop an ask or a message if you want to chat!
A little bit about me: my name is fry, my main blog is @punkshrimp and I’ve been playing lads since February. I main Caleb and Xavier with Sylus quickly turning into one of my favourites. I am not a F2P player but I’d say I’m a low spender (considering high spenders spend LOTS of money), and I’m very lore and battle oriented in this game.
Some thoughts and feelings on everything that’s going on,
I’ve been playing lads since February 2025, literally during the catch 22 banner. I didn’t have a main until like April-May??? I was just pulling for whatever I could get my hands on. And during the flower date banner and reading Caleb’s myth, Caleb quickly became my main.
I was so infatuated with Caleb, his character, his lore and how strong X-02 is in battles 😭 and while other Li’s have been entering and leaving my trifecta, I’ve gone through all of them, and ultimately settling in: Caleb, Xavier and Sylus.
And boy, was I INVESTED in Caleb and Xavier’s lore. While I love Sylus and I think he’s a beautifully written character, I’ve never been as invested in him as the other two, but I’ve always had good luck pulling for him, and frankly he’s the LI I’ve spent the least money on while still always getting his cards in multis and solos within my first 80 pulls. (I pulled both vampire cards in 80 pulls, both birthday cards came to me in the free pulls given by the event, and so on. Sylus always shows up pretty fast whenever I pull for him 😭 the guy loves me)
I have a life long history of loving werewolf lore. I’ve always loved werewolves, I always consume werewolf media, I have a fucking enciclopedia of werewolf folklore, starting from the domestication of wolves by humans, and how in different cultures folklore and legends evolved and all the different versions of werewolves that exist. I. Love. Werewolves. I adore them.
So when Valko was first introduced, in that minute long preview of him running in the woods and jumping high in the sky with the moon shining behind him, I thought: “forgive me Caleb, but there’s no way you can compete with a werewolf. I HAVE to main this guy”. This was a few days before finding out how his personality is like.
When the next preview dropped and we finally got to see his personality? Sheesh, I thought: “I’m definitely maining this guy. I might even pull for him exclusively (and maybe occasionally Sylus since he always shows up on his own)
The news of his cancellation not only shocked me and made me feel like I’d lost an opportunity even before I got the chance to experience it. It stripped LADS away from that sense of comfort it had to it. Logging in feels like a chore (I can’t afford to not do my dailies), I am no longer interested in doing anything in the game. I just log in for 5 minutes, do my dailies and leave, because it just feels so bittersweet now and also it feels incomplete.
Seeing Caleb or Xavier in the destiny cafe feels uncomfortable, like running into an ex someplace small and you’re forced to acknowledge their presence.
A few months ago I was determined to complete my collection of Caleb cards, I am just missing two: Painful Signal and the Catch 22 card. But now seeing the new preview, I don’t event want it. I loved Caleb so much but now it feels wrong, it feels hollow. It feels like conforming, similar to when people go back to an ex because they don’t know how to be by themselves. And I am not someone who does that, I’ve never been. So I’m just here feeling sick over seeing a Caleb solo banner and thinking from now on my Caleb collection will become more and more incomplete. The collection I’ve worked so thoroughly, the affinity I’ve farmed so devotedly, all the time, effort and money spent on Caleb. I wouldn’t say it’s gone to waste because every single cent was spent happily and I enjoyed every minute of it. But it’s the fact that it all turned so sour over one stupid decision.
Had Valko been added to the game as he was supposed to, I would’ve become a Valko main right away, and perhaps only pull for him. But Caleb would still be Caleb, even if I no longer pulled for him. My collection would’ve become more and more incomplete over time based on my money and luck when pulling in banners, but I’d be fine with it. Because my feelings for Caleb would’ve just shifted. I’d still love Caleb but maybe in a different way. In a way that’s less determined to get my hands in every single one of his cards and consume his every little piece of lore and keeps building on this complex mental board on who Caleb is and why he means so much to me. The love and attention would’ve become limited but would still be there. It would’ve happened like that because now Valko would be my new main focus. But I’d still love Caleb.
But because Valko was cancelled, my trust betrayed, and now Lads no longer feels like a safe space, I can’t look at Caleb without feeling bad. It’s not his fault, I know that. But I see Caleb and think of Valko. Because I made an active conscious decision to become a Valko main. And going back to being a Caleb main feels like conforming, like giving up. I would’ve loved it if Caleb had just become my second main, but without Valko in the game Caleb feels like giving up. And giving up on Valko feels wrong, and it hurts me.
I am so fucking angry at Caleb’s solo card being the next banner. I want that card but I don’t want it under these circumstances. I don’t want to pull for absolutely anything without pulling at least one of Valko’s memories. I don’t want to keep investing time and effort in this game unless I know it’s gonna be the full original story as it had been originally written and planned from the start. I’ve spent so much time reading, re reading, connecting dots and lore and plot and learning about Chinese folk and legends, I’ve been emotionally invested and obsessed with this game for a year and a half. Only to be let down like this. I feel a very particular kind of angry. Like I was betrayed, like my safe space is gone, like I don’t know what to do with everything I’ve collected in the past year and a half. All that love, all that excitement, all the hope I had for the future of the story.
I don’t usually post a lot or at all on here but this is important.
Today, Infold decided to cancel their upcoming new character Valko because of a loud minority.
Be loud and fight this. Me personally, I don’t want to play a game where the hate of a loud minority can decide the story and characters of the game.
These people have been
- bullying and attacking the players of both the chinese and international server when they spoke positively about Valko
-have been spaming offical accounts on rednote with hate
-have threatened, sued and bullied the company, development team, VAs and more
-have made racist and homophobic comments, as well as misogynistic comments about Valko and his supporters
Infold has no backbone and decided to give into their pressure, but please don’t be discouraged.
I support criticism towards the company regarding the main story updates and politically insensitive phrases, but these people have turned every hiccup into a reason to delete Valko.
So please, if you agree with me, consider unfollowing Love and Deepspace, send Emails in support of Valko, give them a bad review on app stores and sign the petitions.
Personally, I won’t log in until 9th of July in hopes they change their mind, but if they won’t I will consider deleting the game completely. I love LADS and I am a Rafayel main, but I have enjoyed Raf content and stained him before I even played the game and I can still do that.
