main masterlist
“If you don’t get the groceries by six, don’t bother coming in for dinner,” your mother’s voice crackled through the phone, sharp and demanding.
You stared at the wall of your entryway, the phone still pressed to your ear. You didn't even have your shoes off yet. The call had lasted exactly three minutes, and in that time, your parents had managed to list four errands you needed to run and one guilt trip about how your sister was "struggling" with her new job. You sighed and tapped the end-call button, the silence of the apartment rushing back in to meet you.
You didn't move for a long time. You just stood there, your hand still gripping the phone, staring at the front door you had just closed. The heavy weight of your bag was digging into your shoulder, but you didn't have the energy to take it off. It felt like the air in the hallway had suddenly become too thick to breathe.
A soft sound came from the living room—the rhythmic click of a glass being set down on a coaster. Zayne stepped into view, his gaze sweeping over you. He didn't ask how your day was; he didn't need to. He could see the slump in your shoulders and the way your eyes looked glazed and tired. He stopped a few feet away, his expression calm but his eyes searching.
“You’re shaking,” Zayne said quietly. He didn't reach out yet, giving you space to breathe. He knew that when the world demanded too much from you, the last thing you needed was someone crowding your personal space.
From the kitchen, Sylus leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed. He had been listening to the tail end of that phone call. His usual playful smirk was missing, replaced by a frown of genuine annoyance. He didn't like the way your parents spoke to you, and he especially didn't like that you felt you had to apologize for being exhausted.
“Put the bag down,” Sylus commanded, though his voice was surprisingly gentle. “The groceries can wait. The world will not stop spinning if you don't buy a carton of milk in the next twenty minutes.”
You let the bag slide off your shoulder. It hit the hardwood floor with a heavy thud, the sound echoing through the quiet hallway. For a moment, you just stared at the floor, feeling a strange sense of vertigo. The transition from the loud, demanding tone of your mother to the sudden, heavy silence of the apartment made your head spin. You felt like a machine that had finally run out of battery, unable to even lift your arms to take off your coat.
Zayne stepped closer, his hand finally finding the small of your back. He didn't push you toward the couch; he just stood there, a steady presence that grounded you. "You've been running since six in the morning," he noted, his voice low and clinical yet kind. "Your heart rate is too high. Take a breath."
You tried, but the breath caught in your throat, turning into a jagged sob that you couldn't quite hold back. The frustration of the day—the deadlines, the endless emails, and the crushing expectation to be the "reliable one" for your family—finally broke through. You didn't just feel tired; you felt invisible. You felt like a tool that was only useful as long as it was working, and the second it started to wear down, it was just an inconvenience.
Sylus moved then, stepping away from the kitchen to close the distance. He didn't say anything at first, but he reached out and gently took your phone from your hand, sliding it face-down on the side table. He was effectively shutting off the outside world for you. "Enough," he muttered. "No more errands. No more lists. If they want groceries, they can find a map and go get them themselves."
You leaned into Zayne's touch, your forehead resting against his chest. The sob that had started now came in waves, shaking your entire frame. You didn't have the words to explain why this one phone call felt like the breaking point, but they both seemed to understand. To them, you weren't a list of completed tasks or a reliable errand-runner. You were just you.
“I can’t do it all,” you whispered, your voice sounding small and cracked. “I feel like if I stop moving for even one hour, I’m failing everyone. I’m just… a tool to them. A way to get things done.”
Zayne’s hand moved from your back to the nape of your neck, his fingers cool and steady. He didn't tell you that you were overreacting. He didn't tell you that your parents probably loved you in their own way. He simply held you, providing a physical anchor while you drifted in a sea of exhaustion. “You are not a tool,” he said firmly. “And your value is not measured by how many errands you can run in a day.”
Sylus let out a short, sharp breath. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around both of you, pulling you into a tight, protective hold. He smelled like expensive cologne and old books, a scent that always felt like safety to you. “Exactly,” Sylus added, his voice humming against your ear. “If they can only see you as a convenience, then they don't deserve your time right now. You’ve spent ten hours today being productive for other people. For the next ten, you are going to be completely useless. And we are going to make sure of it.”
You let out a weak, watery laugh, the sound muffled by Sylus’s shirt. The tension in your chest loosened slightly. For the first time since you had woken up that morning, the crushing weight of expectation felt a little lighter. You didn't have to be the "perfect daughter" or the "reliable employee" here. In this living room, surrounded by these two, you were allowed to be tired.
Zayne gently guided you toward the living room, his hand never leaving your shoulder. He didn't let you sit on the edge of the couch; he practically steered you into the center of the cushions, where a few plush pillows were already waiting. Sylus moved with a sudden burst of energy, disappearing for a moment only to return with a heavy, oversized blanket. He tossed it over you with a flourish, tucking the edges around your legs until you were essentially a human burrito.
"Stay," Sylus commanded, though he was smiling. "Any attempt to stand up will be met with a firm refusal."
Zayne disappeared into the kitchen, returning shortly with a glass of water and a small plate of sliced fruit. He set them on the coffee table within your reach, his eyes scanning your face to make sure you were actually hydrating. "Eat. Slowly," he instructed. As you took a small piece of apple, you realized how long it had been since you'd actually tasted anything. The sweetness was sharp and refreshing, cutting through the lingering bitterness of the phone call.
For a while, no one spoke. The only sound was the soft hum of the air conditioner and the distant noise of traffic outside. You watched the two of them—Zayne, who was now sitting on the edge of the coffee table, and Sylus, who had claimed the other end of the couch, his arm draped across the backrest. They didn't try to fill the silence with useless chatter or forced cheerfulness. They just existed there with you, creating a wall between you and the rest of the world.
@ hikaako - do not copy, translate or feed my work into AI
I have been in the snowcrow tag since Sylus' debut, and because of that I know for a fact I have read everything in there. SO. Here's a list in no particular order of my favorites! If the author is on Tumblr I will do my best to mention them, but most of these will be links to ao3 for my own ease, because that's where I save everything. And if I missed someone and they are here on Tumblr pls let me know so I can @ them!!
An important note: I highly disproportionately prefer top Sylus and bottom Zayne, so the vast vast majority of these will feature a more submissive Zayne. If that's not what you're looking for, I apologize😔 unless stated otherwise, these are all bottom/sub Zayne.
Additionally: the vast majority of these are explicit works, MDNI and all that, be aware of what you're clicking on. If there are any applicable trigger warnings, I will do my best to make sure they are mentioned so you can avoid them if you wish!
And very last: if you do go read any of these and enjoy them, please make sure you comment on the fic and give these amazing writers some love! It's what keeps us going:)
Sorry to plug myself at the top, but if you're interested, I have a camboy zayne/dilf Sylus au called A Matter of Context I'm writing with @void-keeper , and they're also working on their own 90's crime drama snowcrow au called Nightline!
Also check out my other stuff, like Dessert Spread (simple snowcrow sexy times), A Vivid Imagination (Zayne is Sylus' very obedient sub), Divine and Mine Alone (mc pegging zayne in the hot springs), and Heat Signal (alpha fem MC and omega Zayne). Anyway enjoy the recs.
Long fics (10k+ words)
The Avalanche Series - @magicalcrime
Length: over 200k (probably most definitely way more but I don't know exactly how much more)
I'm not sure this series even needs an introduction, if you love snowcrow there's a very good chance you've already read this series. It is the magnum opus of snowcrow fic, but in case you haven't read it, here I am to talk you into it. For each installment of this series, you get to meet a new version of Sylus and Zayne and how they fall in love. The Doctor and the Conquerer, the Foreseer and the Dragon, Dawnbreaker and Carrion. It could not be more fun to get to read about all of these different versions of them and how they interact with each other and how different and similar their stories are, and you even get to meet an entirely new Sylus from the decaying world Dawnbreaker inhabits. I could gush about this series for ages. Read it!!! It is so worth it, and will keep you well fed for such a long time. And if you finish it and don't know what else to read, literally everything else Goose has written is worthy of a recommendation as well. You're gonna see this name pop up on this list several more times.
Communion - Kyakume
Length: 96k
Vampire Sylus corrupts pious Father Zayne and whisks him away from a congregation that never truly had his best interests at heart. This is the priest Zayne x vampire Sylus fic from your dreams, it is everything you hope it to be and more. Not to mention the extremely well written original characters that will have you caring about them almost as much as our boys. (Plus, I have heard from a reliable source there's a sequel on the way.) Another must read if you love snowcrow.
"guns and roses", "stuck with you", "cotton, cake, and skin", and "red petals on the moon" - @leycorice
Length: between 10k-50k
It's hard to summarize all of these stories quickly, but trust me when I say you won't regret reading any of them (and yes, they're all like 50k words each). Leyorice is one of the gems in this fandom for the consistent and incredible storytelling we get every time they post. Their snowcrow au's are to die for. An arranged marriage in imperial China, zayne seducing his husband with a virgin killer sweater, government agents falling in love with men who should really be behind bars, a college professor making the mistake of offering a student a place to stay for a few days when his apartment floods. You'll never be disappointed sitting down to enjoy one of their fics. Not all of them are explicit, but some of them are. Honestly I recommend just going through everything they've written, it's all so good, these are just some of my favorites. They also have a fantastic selection of applesnow to read through as well.
gethsemane - matchasnorter77
Length: 32k
A classic cowboy au featuring the town physician and his turbulent relationship with the sheriff (Caleb), and the local famous outlaw (Sylus). Beware, this one might make you cry but it is so so good.
Hit me Harder - salemrph
Length: 26k
Mignon meets snowcrow. Sylus is a boxer, and Zayne is the doctor who patches him up after every match. It just kind of seems like Sylus might be getting hit on purpose so he can see his pretty doctor...

Length: 23k
A collection of various pairings and au's for the sake of smut. Simple, but very very good.
Necessary Evils - palendromegirl
Length: 71k

After accidentally downloading a dating app meant to connect like-minded individuals who are into BDSM, he stumbles into a world with Sylus that leaves him entirely out of his depth. AKA Zayne discovers the world of BDSM and falls deeply in love with Sylus at the same time, leaving his emotions messy and tangled. Also featuring dom Xavier and his sub, Rafayel.
Heart Rate - AngelLindsay
Length: 49k
This isn't the usual thing I'd recommend, for one, Zayne is pretty dominant throughout most of this fic, but in the last chapter he submits so sweetly it made it all worth it for me I can't lie. This is VERY much a Sylusmc + Zayne fic, but something about it had me invested anyway. The characterization and Zayne's self loathing etc etc, it was just a really fun read.
For Want of Control - ElizabethDurham
Length: 23k
This one is somewhat similar to Heart Rate, but focuses on Zaynemc + Sylus instead. This one also features a lot of just Zaynemc and a dominant Zayne, but like Heart Rate, the last chapter totally won me over with how Zayne finally relinquishes control and submits. There's just something so juicy to me about Zayne being kind of neurotic about his control in bed and then eventually choosing to give it over to Sylus, even if it's just for a night.
The Scent of Desire - @jupiter235
Length: 49k (Still ongoing!!)
I think this might be the only work in progress I have on here, but I don't care because omega Zayne and alpha Sylus!!! Sylus has an abnormally strong scent of blood and fire and brimstone, and it puts off anyone he comes in contact with. His interest in Zayne is piqued immediately when the two end up next to each other at a charity gala, and unlike everyone else in the room, he doesn't seem to notice Sylus' scent at all. Cue Sylus doing everything he can to stay near his new favorite doctor.

There's only one chapter of this so far, possibly it could be updated in the future, but it works just as well as a one shot so I'm recommending it anyway.

crowwolfmc, valko making you custom jewellry sets for every outfit that you have and sylus getting you all those expensive necklaces and bracelets from his auctions and what not. both of them competing and trying to one up the other each time they get you something new🙂↕️
meanwhile youre in distress w the way youre running out of space to put everything in😭
As someone who loves to jewelry max this would be so fun!! don't even worry about running out of space because Valko is making you customized jewelry stands and Sylus is getting you a whole jewelry closet built before you even blink
Neighbor DILF Sylus is singing sinful songs to me again. @sysjuicebox @deepspacenova This is all your fault 😩
Dilf Sylus who isn't your first - but he's the best.
You've had your fair share of faking an orgasm just to be done with the inexperienced man saying if it was "good for you" after he finished 2 seconds in. Too many.
So when a make out session with Sylus starts getting a little more heated, some part of your brain is still prepared to act. To exaggerate moans and eyes rolling back and the whole nine yards.
The first moan you let out has him pulling away with a rich chuckle, startled by just how pornographic it sounds. "That can't be your real moan, sweetie," he croons, catching your chin between his thumb and finger so you can't look away and hide your embarrassment. "Do you feel like you have to pretend with me?"
You wish he would let you hide, when you feel so stupid being caught red-handed by a man like him. Aged like fine wine and too good to be true. "It's not you," you admit in a mumble. "I just... It just slipped out, I dunno."
"Ohh, I see," he says, drawn out and teasing. "You had to put on a performance for those boys that didn't care about your pleasure, hm? Is that it? Muscle memory?"
You bite your cheek and nod.
He smirks, something deeply satisfied tugging at the corners of his lips. "Let me show you how a man should treat a woman. And no faking. I won't be offended, promise."
He kisses you devastatingly, devouring your mouth. A flick of his tongue, a nibble on your lip, until you're letting out genuine sounds of want and desire. Until you're crinkling the collar of his shirt to pull him closer and claim more. He growls his own approval, rumbling in his chest as he kisses you back into the couch cushions.
"Do you want it here, kitten?" he whispers between kisses. "Or shall I take you to bed properly?"
And there is no parallel universe that could exist where you would ever say no when the way he speaks has chills of excitement running down your spine.
He pulls away and effortlessly hefts you into his arms, kissing and sucking on your neck as he navigates your home. The bedroom door is nudged open and kicked shut. He kneels on the bed as he lowers you into your pillows, and claims your mouth once again.
His hands push up the hem of your shirt. Not enough to take it off, but enough to allow his hands - large and warm and rough - to caress your body, squeezing at the plush of your sides and hips, drawing your back into an arch to press against him. It's utterly addicting. He doesn't touch you with any uncertainty; testing the waters just enough to find what you like before confidently indulging in the feel of you in his hands.
You claw at the fabric of his shirt over his shoulder blades, drawing it up, silently asking - begging - for him to take it off. You can taste the pride on his tongue as you take what you want, letting you go to aid your efforts and chuck his shirt aside.
His mouth finds your neck again. The hot breaths he takes fanning against your skin and loud in your ear, between the sticky-wet sounds of his kisses leaving their mark. You guide his hands in removing your shirt, gliding them under the fabric, over your chest. His breath hitches at the touch of lace he feels.
"Did you plan this?" he breathes with a chuckle. Teeth nibble at your earlobe before he pulls away to toss your shirt aside with his.
"It doesn't hurt to be prepared," you tease back, swallowing your nerves as he looks down at you. Crimson eyes that trace the shape of your body. The cleavage that pours out of the top of the cup, barely held in place by your bra. "D'you like it?"
His eyes snap up to yours then. Seeing into your soul. He doesn't answer right away. Instead, he scoots backward, legs framing yours, hands supporting himself on either side of you, to lay a kiss in the valley between. A glance of teeth, the heat of tongue, as he traces his way over the fat of one breast to the lace. "I love it. You're so beautiful."
When other guys had said it, it felt like a script. Something they had to say if they wanted to fuck you. But the way he says it? It's like a prayer. As though seeing you like this is a blessing from the gods.
One of his hands slips under your back to find the clasp. And just like that, it's undone. You squirm out of it. With a tangle of your fingers in his hair, you guide him to your tits. His hot tongue flicks over a nipple with one of his hands takes care of the other, cradling it in his palm and squeezing as he teases the bud into a stiff peak. He sucks and laps at the other, groaning his delight when he feels you arching into his mouth. He nips at it once, to hear the yelp it produces, before licking over it with that shit-eating grin.
Slowly but surely, he works his way down your body. Further and further until he reaches your pants. He looks up at you for the consent to pull them off, greeted by your eager nod and soft whimpers of "please". He slips them down your legs, caressing over your thighs and eyeing the wet spot on your panties. His own cock, twitching and forgotten in his pants, in favor of admiring how wet you are just for him.
He positions your legs over his shoulders and settles comfortably between them. His hands spread wide, squeezing the fat of your hips as he nuzzles your inner thigh, practically drooling by the time he reaches your clothed cunt. Your scent drives him wild.
He meets your eye over the length of your body, lids heavy and cheeks flushed with arousal. "How many times have you had to fake an orgasm, sweetie?"
You watch him inhale deeply. He has to control himself, kissing at your thighs to stave off burying himself into your warmest spot and devouring you whole. You tell him the number, as best you can remember, from every time a previous lay ended with disappointment and dissatisfaction.
He makes a sound low in his throat. The tip of his defined nose presses against your panties, tracing up along the slit. When it reaches your clit, he knows, in the way your breath catches - half-surprised he could find it - and the subtle clench of your legs around his head. He looks like the cat that caught the canary as he says in a deep rumble: "It will be my honor to make up for every time you were left wanting."
Man idek if anyone remembers/knows about this game, but I thought amidst this shitshow, why don't I go pick one of my older favourites. And guess what I found? The author of this game passed away about 2 years ago 😭 Man...that's another thing I'll be mourning for besides our wolfie ig 🫠
For those who don't know, it was a "choose-your-own-adventure" game called Magium. At one point I was pretty interested in choice based games ig and I don't think I've seen anything else comes close to how good this one was 😿
I'm curious, since I see this topic get brought up a lot now on my twt timeline, since we're approaching the end of july... what are the odds of infold not addressing us by the end of the month / beginning of august?
because I see valid points to consider for both cases.
why infold should make an announcement on end of july:
their revenue / numbers of downloads, probably DAU has gone down significantly due to our boycott. this, for a live service game, is not something they can just ignore for months on end. they need to fix this somehow.
I've seen the rhetoric going around that there are people (idk how many so I'm not going to throw in my guess, but there ARE people) who will completely lose their trust in infold if they don't address things / acknowledge our efforts. rightly so, honestly, I'm not blaming anyone. mental and physical health has been greatly affected by their fuck up, and frankly, I understand that some are just fed up being ignored and will just not play the game anymore. I've also seen some state that they will stay away from this game even IF valko will be released in the future. that, obviously, will not bode well for the company's longevity either, for obvious reasons, losing trust of their players (and spenders).
if they proceed as normal / release raf's myth in the midst of things, it will only add fuel to the fire and will, again, give us the impression that infold is NOT listening. which will, again, just make people lose trust in this company entirely.
iirc, ALL our goals were achieved with this boycott. we are loud, the game's app store rating is LOW, their revenue is in a freefall, valko has been trending for the entirety of the boycott, infold has lost a lot of followers on their official plattforms. we have EVEN cleared valko's name, with older articles being deleted or corrected. from what I know the current consensus on lads from cn media news is not focused on valko at ALL, his name and image has been cleared, there were no violations found within his story. now, media seems more focused on the antis, the rumors that spread like wildfire without any factchecking and that minors are playing a game made for 18+. NOTHING to do with valko. so there really isn't a reason NOT to drop him, right? hell, cn media even acknowledged that global players need to be considered, we make up 40% of the revenue, ignoring us would not only tank infold's reputation, but potentially all other live service games originating from china.
so, at the very least, imo, they need to address the elephant in the room and openly communicate what their plan is to us. I don't think many would have a problem if valko were to be delayed, IF, and that's a massive fucking IF, infold were to communicate this as such. ofc, best case scenario is that valko were to be reinstated in game by the end of july or beginning of august, and that is what I'm hoping for myself, but I could maybe wait for longer IF infold told us why they can't release him now, and if they give us a release date / month.
now, reasons I saw why infold might not address the boycott / valko entirely and will try to proceed as normal:
the biggest reason is probably that they're trying to keep a low profile, still. reinstating valko will likely cause another outcry and another wave of massive hate from antis. reminder, that antis were not shying away from stooping as low as to send cow dung and posing a physical threat to infold and their employees to the point that police had to be called, so I don't think infold would be that happy for it all to start again.
while not confirmed to be directly linked to lads and what has happened, there are investigations ongoing about cyber harrassment, water armies, coordinated hate on the internet etc in china. personally speculating, I'm going to assume that they're investigating the antis that have spread reputation-damaging rumors and bombarded infold with hate, given the time the announcement was made about the investigation. maybe infold will wait things out until these investigations are over / or at the very least start to bear fruit?
then again, if these were to be the case, I think refusing to even acknowledge us would be the stupidest fucking thing infold can do at this point, no matter the reason. they can't stay silent for almost a month and expect us to be fine without any form of "we hear you" especially not if they promised to do better with communication and listening to player feedback (although that might've just been corpo speak)
if you couldn't tell, I'll be FUMING if infold chooses to NOT give us any statement at all, and I am choosing to believe this company isn't completely dumb to ruin their reputation, revenue and future growth like that.
besides, I'm pretty sure that delaying valko is not the move infold might think it is. it might keep the antis happy for a while, but does infold really think they won't start throwing a tantrum again the moment infold decides to release valko, even at a later date? they don't want him in the game point blank period, so obviously whatever "calming down" might've happened in the span of time would just become void and they'll explode again not to mention that the momentum is NOW, and the momentum is fragile. so they will not only anger the antis again by reinstating him, but also the people who were patiently awaiting for valko's rightful return might not be around anymore.
however, IF infold really were to still ignore us... well. I'll still proceed with the boycott lmfao.
I won't be logging in, I sure as hell won't be spending a dime on the game until valko is back (maybe not ever, who knows), I will still be talking about valko in a positive light on social media and I WILL be annoying as hell and bring him up on every social media post, if they were to start posting again.
"Say Dada," Sylus coaxes gently, seated together with her daughter in her playpen. She's busy grabbing building blocks, inspecting them, and placing them on top of a very unstable tower. "Say Dada, princess."
His daughter spares him a glance before piling on another building block. The tower sways precariously, leaning heavily to one side. But she doesn't care; drawing up building plans is not a part of her job.
Sylus chuckles, the glance she gave him so similar to the one you give him. She truly is your daughter—maybe that's why she's insisting on being so stubborn.
"You know your tower is wobbling, right?" He tells her, pointing at it. "There’s no solid groundwork. No proper foundation. Where did you go to school for your architecture degree?"
"Babababa," she babbles conversationally and Sylus nods in understanding.
"That is an excellent school. I'm sorry for questioning your credentials."
"What are you two talking about?" You ask upon entering the living room, your daughter's bottle in hand. "Is he bothering you about your building credentials again, baby?"
Your daughter squeals happily, turning to slam her tiny hands down on Sylus' knee. He's a wonderful actor, shouting in feigned pain as he falls to the ground. You watched, amused, as your daughter begins hitting tiny fists onto his chest while Sylus groans in fake agony.
"That's right, sweetie," you cheer, climbing over the playpen's fence. "Show him who's boss!"
Your daughter squeals louder, adorable giggles bursting forth and Sylus can't help but join her. She squeaks in joy when he scoops her up into his arms and lays her softly on his slightly sore chest. She beams down at him and Sylus melts, his eyes softening.
"Say Dada," He tries again and your daughter blinks before giving a toothless grin.
"Mmmama!" She babbles and Sylus huffs, smiling.
"Traitor," he says, carefully lifting himself up into a seated position so he can take the bottle you hand him. "You're breaking your father's heart, my love."
You shift to sit beside him, resting your head on his shoulder as you watch him feed her. His head comes to rest upon yours after he places a kiss on top of it.
"I heard her say Dada yesterday," you tell him with a tiny laugh. "She was missing you and you were at work so she called out for you." Your hand comes up instantly to caress his thigh, easing the pain and guilt you know is already eating at him. For being away from you and her and not being there when she called. "So I think she's just messing with you."
"Sounds an awful lot like someone I know," Sylus partially teases and you roll your eyes, playful.
Your daughter, perfectly content in Sylus' arms with warm milk in her tummy, pulls away from the bottle's nipple and coos:
"Dada dadada!"
Sylus freezes, eyes wide and mouth slightly agape, while you beam at your little bundle of joy.
"Well done, baby!" You praise excitedly before gently nudging Sylus. "Goodness she has excellent timing—oh Sy, my love, don't cry!"
thinking about zayne who has never tried popping bubbles before having them for the first time. the way his eyes would open just a bit wider in surprise when they pop in his mouth would be so cute.,,, ohmygod.. my cutieful doctor,,,,,
You scroll to another video, and another, and another. Mindless, numbing stimulation that steals your attention span and rots your brain. That's where Sylus finds you; sitting on the couch, stuck doing something you don't really want to be doing.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" he asks, wrapping his arms around you from behind the couch.
You grumble, scrolling again and again. "Stuck."
"Mm. Physically or mentally?"
Scroll. Scroll. "Mentally." You bury your face in the crook of his elbow with a frustrated groan, one eye still peeking at your screen. "I can't... can't do what I need to."
"What do you need to do?" His lips brush your temple as he speaks. You can't see his face as he watches the videos that've been algorithmically calculated to keep you addicted to this endless hell. Maybe it's better that you can't.
You sigh as you list out your planned tasks for the day. Clean out your closet, pack stuff away - anything that isn't being glued to this couch.
He puts his hand behind yours holding the phone. You stop scrolling to watch him back out of the app. He's humming lightly as he slides over to the camera and takes a selfie, kissing your cheek. You snicker despite your agitation; he loves capturing you at your worst angles.
You can feel the curl of his lips against your skin, mirroring the camera's point of view. He clicks your phone off and kisses you one more time, before he comes around the couch and tugs you up by your arms. "C'mon, kitten. I'll stay with you while you work. Will that help?"
You nod. Finally, albeit slowly, you can feel the shift of gears in your head, beginning to stir back to life and pump motivation to your feet to move. But first, you step closer and hug him tightly, burying your face in his chest. He greedily hugs you in return, curling himself around you, stroking your back and rocking from side to side. "Thank you, Sy. My brain didn't wanna cooperate today."
"That's why I'm here, sweetie. To help you over the walls your mind creates. Every time."

7/22/2026 Report
First of all, let me reiterate this once again because I've had several people message me about it. The banner post on TikTok that includes all 6 LIs was never taken down. I check their socials everyday and have been since the 30th. It has always been there.
One of MY X posts has somehow gotten popular? 😭 I posted on here a few days ago about messaging Nici and they got back to me this morning!
Valko is ALL over the LADS Supertopic on Weibo.
LADS ranking on CN iOS App Store:
LADS CN revenue. Massive yikes. iPad revenue has PLUMMETED (top right graph). Wonder if the minors stopped using their parents' card...
Apparently, even LADS customer service workers are reaching out to big-spending players Actual insane behavior. Creds to the CN girls for holding the line.
"Um, um..! I want to tell everyone 😆 no 🐺 no 💰 is really super effective!! There really was a customer service rep who proactively reached out to a big-spending player begging them to come back, looks like YZY Games really cares about the revenue 😎🫶🏻🫶🏻 But this young lady made it very clear! She only has one demand: Give us back our little wolf!! We have to keep pushing, guys 🫶🏻"
This user confirmed the information. The reps aren't asking people to spend money, but they ARE contacting whales and asking them to come back to the game.
"All right, I have heard back from her directly.
Translation: Sis, ever since customer service added me, they’ve only been apologizing to me. They never said anything trying to persuade me to come back to the game or encouraging me to top up (spend money) again.
The idea that they were ‘trying to persuade players to return and continue spending’ is really just speculation that many dissatisfied players came up with based on the fact that customer service re-added former whale (big-spending) players as contacts.
But at least in my chat history with customer service, they never expressed anything like ‘please come back to the game and keep playing’ or ‘please continue spending money on our game."
ANOTHER article, this one on Toutiao (Jīnrì Tóutiáo), ByteDance's news platform. This X user already provided the big points, so I'll paste them here!
➺ The article states clearly that LADS is a game designed for adults 18+. Age-appropriate governance should block minors from accessing it, NOT water down the content for adult players.
➺ It directly proposes a governance cycle: discover the problem, rectify within a deadline, re-evaluate, restore service. It argues that after a company completes rectification and passes review, it should have a clear and predictable path to resume normal operations. Simply removing products is not a mature solution.
➺ It acknowledges that during the LADS controversy, there were concentrated posting campaigns, mass complaint mobilization, and escalation from product issues to attacks on the company and player groups. And it raises the possibility that minors may have been pulled into these coordinated attacks as participants, not just as victims of inappropriate content.
➺ It states that protecting minors means BOTH keeping them away from inappropriate content AND preventing them from being used as tools to attack companies, creators, or other users through online group manipulation.
➺ And it says game companies deserve a normal operating environment free from false information, cyberbullying, and abnormal mass reporting.
Post
(don't know why this link is being stupid, but anyway)
The Sina article was reposted by another CN news outlet. From this user on X (their summary is very similar to my own):
A new article from the Chinese business media outlet *China Civil & Commercial Network* addresses the controversy surrounding *LADs* within the framework of China's "Qinglang" campaign, aimed at combating malicious online manipulation. (Yes, I found it and verified the information).
The article examines the evidence dossier compiled by players regarding the events that occurred between June 29 and July 1. It notes that many of the original posts subsequently became inaccessible, though the exact cause has not been confirmed: whether due to the author's decision, platform actions, privacy setting changes, or other reasons.
It also indicates that documentation has been submitted to the competent authorities and that courts have admitted civil lawsuits for processing, although definitive legal conclusions have yet to be reached.
The article does not claim that the existence of an organized online "army" has been proven. However, it maintains that factors such as the use of similar phrasing, the concentrated posting of messages, the repetition of content across different platforms, reposting after deletions, mass reporting, and moralistic labeling constitute serious red flags that warrant investigation.
Its primary concern lies in how criticism of a product can quickly escalate into attacks on the company, its creators, and entire communities of players.
According to the preserved screenshots, one post amassed 462 reposts, 875 comments, and 9,396 "likes" in just half an hour; from there, the debate escalated to demands for sanctions against staff and service shutdowns, in addition to labeling the company and its users with extreme moral tags.
The article also focuses on the economic damages stemming from this type of pressure. Canceling content that is already nearly complete means wasting development costs, launch opportunities, and user attention, while invalidating the work of scriptwriters, artists, programmers, voice actors, localization teams, and other personnel.
Moreover, this situation can push companies toward creative self-censorship: not only are truly problematic ideas eliminated, but innovation itself becomes viewed as too risky. The broader economic context is relevant.
In the first quarter of 2026, China's domestic video game market generated approximately 14.3 billion dollars, while overseas revenue—from games developed in China—reached 6.33 billion dollars, representing a year-over-year increase of 31.76%. (These figures cover the entire video game market, not just *LADs*).
The author argues that video game companies must compete based on technology, original content, service quality, the strength of their intellectual properties (IP), and global operations, rather than through generating negative traffic, mass reporting, repetitive labeling, or manipulated outrage.
The article takes care to note that legitimate criticism, consumer opinions, and media scrutiny must remain protected. Its target is false information, decontextualized snippets, amplification that appears coordinated, online harassment, and pressures that supplant fact-based investigation.
Overall, the article leans toward the idea that the controversy surrounding Valko may have been amplified by harmful mechanisms of the digital environment, rather than reflecting the genuine opinion of the entire market."
Things are looking good for us, friends! Especially considering INFOLD EMPLOYEES are asking players to come back. Does that seem a little pathetic to anyone else?
Let me remind you that we aren't working towards a deadline—we're working towards a goal. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourselves!
