Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
I have always enjoyed creating content because i genuinely love the game and the lovely community. My goal has always been to share that passion through art that brings excitement and enjoyment to fellow players.
I was deeply disappointed by the recent announcement. Many players were eagerly looking forward to valko, and the sudden decision has left a large part of the community feeling disheartened. Seeing so many passionate players affected by this has also been difficult for me as a creator, I sincerely hope it gets resolved soon. I truly want to continue creating content that brings positivity.
PLEASE REPOST TO SPREAD THESE RESOURCES TO TRY AND GET VALKO BACK
I didn't expect myself to be as upset as I am over this decision but I am absolutely devastated. I truly believe that we deserve more than that pathetic ass apology that was more like Infold’s way of putting it all on Valko so that cn players can once again ignore how predatory their business tactics are. With that being said here are links, resources and steps to take to try and bring our wolf back! (Also rant incoming)
1. Petition link- There are tons of petitions just to get Valko back but this is the most successful as it already has over 170k signatures! I’m already seeing some articles online talk about the insane amount of signatures on the post which is even better as it means our outcry is so loud it is reaching even beyond the community so make sure you sign so Infold doesn’t have a choice but to acknowledge us! Even though that’s a large number we are still not quite at the number of signatures we need to bring our wolf back so please take some time to sign it and make our voices heard!
Fans urge Infold and PaperGames to restore Valko as a love interest in Love and Deepspace to honor the original vision for the game. Add you
2. Email template- Even though Infold is notorious for ignoring our emails and surveys it is important that we communicate with them directly because if enough of us are emailing them about the same thing they can’t ignore us!
Dear Infold Games Team,
As a devoted Love And Deepspace player I wanted to send this email to express my deep disappointment in the announcement that the debut of the 6th love interest Valko has been canceled. I have been playing Love and Deepspace for [insert how long you’ve been playing] and in that time I have fallen in love with the game, the characters, and especially the storylines and writing of the lore. Throughout my time reading the main story, world underneath, anecdotes, cards and more it has been made clear to me that there has been so much time and love put into these characters and storylines. Beyond the love interests, the fun events, and the romantic moments, I have fallen in love with the dedication, time, and attention to detail given to the overall story as well as the stories of each love interest. This game has given me and millions of other players such wonderful memories. It has brought me good moments in some of the darkest times of my life, I even found community and passion from it as well.
With that being said, I was very excited to see the announcement for Valko when he was first teased and even more so when his official trailer was released. Even before his release, me and so many other players have fallen in love with Valko. Within that short time we have already been sharing our excitement, love, and fanart over this character that we haven’t even interacted with yet. It also meant that there would be more updates to the main story which so many others like myself were absolutely so excited to see. We love how the writers are able to intertwine the stories so well and us players just knew that Valko was the missing link that would bring the whole story together. And it was because of that genuine excitement and love that we had already built for Valko in such a short time that we are extremely devastated to find that he has been canceled due to the reaction of a small but loud minority of players who reacted negatively to his release. I understand that developing and sharing a game with a community as large as this one requires responding to the feedback of consumers, however, I and millions of other players do not feel that canceling a major character over this is a good decision. Due to the large amount of backlash that was received due to the announcement of Valko, it is understandable that he would have been delayed until tension dies down and or released after properly reassuring players of the many other concerns that built up to lead to this outrage.
But the most concerning thing for me and the other global players who love your game is that this situation has now sent us the message that our voices aren’t as valued as those who are amongst that loud but small minority. It sends the impression that a vocal group of negative reactions can alter the direction of the story and even the game itself despite the majority of players being against those decisions. This is discouraging to the players who are outside of this loud minority, the players that had not only supported the development and growth of the game but also trusted the creative direction of the game as well. Many of us were looking forward to meeting Valko, even to the point of spending time and money on the game to get materials specifically for him. We were interested in seeing how he would be included in the story, how his narrative would shape the lore and overall were just excited to meet a new character and fall in love with him just like we did with the other 5. Canceling him doesn’t just affect him but rather the whole story of the game itself. The developers of the characters and story work so hard to build a narrative that flows as beautifully as it does and his removal will disrupt that.
I sincerely hope that this decision to cancel Valko is reconsidered. Even if you have to postpone him or even restrict him to global servers where we appreciate and love him. I also hope that moving forward, you all choose to trust in your own as well as the developers creative direction rather than allowing one wave of controversy to permanently erase a character that many players were looking forward to. Please remember your global players who love this game, we also have a voice.
Thank you for reading my message and developing a game that so many of us have grown to love. This email is sent out of the love for this game and the hope that our love and support over these years can build this game up more and more as time goes on.
Please email all three of them in order to make the biggest impact and if you have other email addresses we can send our grievances to please share them asap. You can also use another email template if you like as many others are going around, for example the Love and Deepspace content creator Angels Cornerr has a template in her community posts that you can use. I just recommend to change some of the wording in all templates you use as when they are all the same it’s easier for Infold to ignore it or even trash them. So make yours more unique so that it’s harder for Infold to ignore us. But if you don’t feel like it honestly just copy and pasting and sending it to all three emails is still going to help (just fill in the 2 blanks I left before sending lol)
3.Help Infold’s competition- Show them that not only are there other games like Love and Deepspace coming but that us global players are more than happy to support them over Lads since clearly Infold values the tantrums of SOME cn players over us.
Pre-register for Silent Whispers because Infold as us all messed up and needs competition (even if you don’t want to play it sign up anyway to be petty asf I literally just did it right before I put the link and it took 2 seconds)
Silent Whispers is a Multi-Platform Cinematic Love Adventure Game set in a fantasy metropolis, developed by Archosaur Games and powered by U
4.Leave negative reviews on their game wherever you can- It not only shows Infold that we’re sick of their bullshit but it also warns future players of what they can expect if they choose to fall for the ads and download this game
I encourage that you also leave negative reviews in the App Store, apparently they already when down to like 1 star in google play (I can’t confirm I have all apple devices so someone confirm that pls) So us iOS users gotta step it up and review bomb the fuck out of these bitches.
5.Stop supporting the game period- This hurts the one thing they care about the most, their pockets!
And finally the best thing we can do to fight back is to of course put our money where our mouths are. Many people have been deleting the game since the announcement which I honestly think is the best decision however, I know many (including myself) are not willing to do so just yet (me personally I’m still holding out hope but if they don’t give any updates about bringing him back I’m deleting that game off my iPad SOOO fast). If you still plan on keeping the game and logging in daily I recommend at least reducing your spending or better yet not spending at all, at the end of the day all this company cares about is money, that’s why they kiss the ass of those crazy ass players who spend their whole life savings over this game, so in order to make a change we have to put our foots down and stop giving them money. And even if it is hard not to log in everyday at least skip July 9th out of all days as that was the day he was meant to launch so we need to be the most inactive on that day.
Other things we can do is keep the hashtags for Valko trending, flood their comments with our frustrations, and share resources like these so that we can fight back. So even if you don’t have a platform (neither do I have have less than 10 followers), rant about how angry you are, share resources, be annoying asf about it until we get another update.
The overwhelming amount of Valko smut that’s popping up on my feed already is insane I shouldn’t be this surprised but damn yall are fast 💀 (I love it)
People can be racist toward black people at any age, and it gets excused by some non-black people. When black people express our discomfort, begin to experience self-hatred, and possibly end up harming ourselves because of racism, it does not matter, and we're over exaggerating our feelings. Black people don't have to be taught that racism is bad because we experience it before we can even talk or walk. When we, as black people, shame favorite non-black celebrities and even politicians about their racist past, we are still confronted with racism.
I don't care if your favorite celebrity was fifteen saying the n-word because there is a black person out in the world who had to deal with the repercussions. There is someone out there who will never forget the hate, so no, I don't care how old someone is when they start to spew out racism to my community, because at the end of the day, some non-black people will always come and defend them while being racist to black people.
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
me when i specifically search for angst yet all i get is the nastiest smut known to man(at the end of the day im not complaining ill eat it up but sometimes a girl just wants to cry)
This is a writing app 💜
Hello and welcome!
This is the official Tumblr debut of the neurodivergent-friendly, collaborative writing app that I've been building for the past five years: First Draft Pro!
Designed by a writer, for writers.
Equally appropriate for plotters/pansters, non-fiction/fiction, solo-writers/co-writers.
Plus, with no AI-training!
Also very important: this app is entirely funded by users, which means there's no parent company with nefarious intent re:data, and no investor with goals that are counter to the goals of users!
I'm honestly so proud of it.
Other cool features include:
a notes folder per project where notes are interlinked like a personalised Wiki
notes can be pinned into chapters for reference
novel structure templates (including romance, romantasy, 3 act structure, short story structure, 30-day novel structure, story genius structure)
people are literally so boring a male character will kill 10000 people and steal candy from babies and theyll be like omg thats my king! but a female character is rude once and theyre like i hope she dies violently

Does anyone else ever think about how Fiyeraba, at its core, asks and answers two of the most classical story questions about unconditional love? The handsome, charming prince wonders if his partner would still want to be with him if he didn't have the trappings of his status and title. The misunderstood, wrongfully vilified young woman wonders if her partner would stand by her, even at great personal cost and against the entire world. And for both of them, the answer is an immediate and resounding "YES, of course, what even is this question."
