A Bottle of Thoughts

Striving on chaos and delusions 24 She/Her BRING VALKO BACK

[slytherweasel]

New year! New Intro!

Hiii 👋 I’m Ace

જ⁀➴ 24 • She/her • MDNI

જ⁀➴ I currently play LaDs and ToT and will likely add more to that list. I also love Mystic Messenger. Non-otome wise play Stardew Valley, Sims, Mario Kart, Assassin Creed, along with some others that aren’t as regularly played

જ⁀➴ I main Rafayel and Caleb in LaDs, with Zayne closely behind and Artem and Marius in ToT. Seven will always be my first love though. I’m upfront about being a whale in LaDs but a low spender in ToT

જ⁀➴ Supernatrual and Harry Potter were my first fandoms and I still love them, JKR can rot in hell though. Huge fan of the Batfam and early 2010s Marvel

જ⁀➴ I love anime, Inuyasha was my first while One Piece and JJK would be my favorites overall, but Kamisama Kiss is my go to for a serotonin boost

જ⁀➴ Newer to kpop. Absolutely love Enhypen, Sunghoon and Ni-Ki are my biases with Jake being a wonderful distraction. Stray Kids and Le Sserafim are close behind with Hyunjin and Kazuha as my biases. The choreography is my favorite. And I’m always open to group and song recommendations

જ⁀➴ I do a little bit of writing though it’s mostly headcanons or little shorts, but not much as of late. I am a serial reposter. Most of my posts are little rants, random thoughts, thirsting over fictional men, with a little dust of game help/suggestions for LaDs players

He just really like his sweet treat 🐺🍫

if they wont bring him back, then I will do it myself 😠 I will make sure he got a lot of love that he deserves in my comic! 🐺🍫

[slytherweasel]

Seeing Enhypen tomorrow and Saturday and I don’t think I’ve ever been so anxious and excited at the same time. I’m going alone, this is only my second concert ever and I’m GA. Soooo excited to see the guys perform but so so anxious to be around such a large crowd

[slytherweasel]

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to trust a game again

[slytherweasel]

I don’t think there’s a word for how I’m feeling right now, I’m sad and confused and angry. I stayed up late last night, knowing I had to wake up before the sun, hoping an announcement would come and when it didn’t I went to bed hoping to wake up to one, only to go to work hoping for something to happen while I was working. Now I’m home and it’s 1230am in mainland China and still nothing even though 6.0 is still supposed to release tomorrow/5ish hours for CN servers.

Now I’ve already seen the posts about the cops showing up to Infold, already heard about the supposed delivery driver with a knife, I’m aware of all that but it doesn’t change the fact that I’m still upset. It’s been 9 days since Valko’s cancellation and a week since we’ve heard anything from the official global accounts. I can understand that a lot of stuff is going on that we the players just don’t know about and likely will never know about but, I still feel like that’s not good enough to essentially ghost your fan base. I’m just so confused, I don’t understand why companies don’t want to communicate with their consumers when it would not only, very likely, make them more money but, it would also create a much more loyal fan base.

I’m just so confused and hurt, I want Valko back, I miss logging in everyday, I miss working out with Caleb, doing chores while Rafayel sits on quality time, I miss the boys (ALL 6). It just sucks and I really really hope we get some kind of something from Infold in the next couple of days cause I can’t keep doing this, this constant state of worry and stress is just too much.

[slytherweasel]

It’s the 7th morning, it’s officially been a week since the Valko cancellation announcement and 5 days since Infold’s last post. The radio silence is so weird to me and I know people are saying that’s a good sign cause it means Infold is watching all the protesting but, it still doesn’t sit right with me. I mean they apparently released a new plushie (I haven’t logged in, only seen screenshots) and technically 6.0 is suppose to release in 3 days and Valko (at present) is still gone so there’s no banner.

They are still a company at the end of the day and their main priority is money. There’s just no way they are going to release 6.0 without a banner to make money from. It might be wishful thinking that they’ll just reannounce the original plan for 6.0; that’s what I truly hope for. At the very least though, even if it’s not what we want Infold has to make some sort of announcement in the next few days, I just can’t fathom that they’d do a version update with no banner.

Anyway though, keep up the good work! As always take breaks from socials, stay hydrated and make sure to eat. We will bring Valko back, he will come home. No ifs or maybes about it! We are manifesting our wolf’s return!

[slytherweasel]

Morning number 5 and still absolute silence on infold’s end. Nothing has changed in terms of what we have actually confirmed so please keep that in mind when reading the new rumors, the good and bad ones.

I’d like to think Infold not posting for 3 days is a good sign and that they are watching the feeds and seeing just how much we want Valko back, how we truly care about the integrity of the original story they’ve had plans since launch of the game. Because once again Valko was never the issue with lads, it was Infold and how they handle the real issue we players bring up.

Another thing I’ve been seeing today/last night, are people bashing and bad mouthing others for getting on the game. Like yes we are doing a boycott but, we are also still just people who have made an attachment to this game and its characters. Some people have been playing since launch and never missed a day until now, I myself have been playing since ‘Wander in Wonder’ and this is my first time not logging in. It’s hard and that’s okay. I’m not going to get mad at anyone for doing a little ‘cheat day’ just because they miss their fave and could use some comfort. Not everyone has a rl friend they can talk or rant to about this, not everyone has a partner to hug them and tell them it’ll be okay and even some of the people who do have friends and partners those friends and partners don’t understand or don’t care, online communities can only confort a person so much. And for a parasocial take on that: your fave would want you to do what’s best for you, they would absolutely support you if you’ve decided to delete the game, they would support you if you just decided not to login, and they would support you if you only decided not to spend money and still login.

So at the end of the day do what is best for yourself and your mental health. We all want Valko back and the real issues fixed but, not at the expense of peoples mental wellbeing. For all my people going hard core on the boycott, once again please take breaks, drink water and don’t forget to eat.

[slytherweasel]

As a Rafayel main I can’t help but think about how if Valko does only see the color spectrum of a dog how truly innocently he would end up rage baiting our fish, who see millions of colors. And it wouldn’t be Valko’s fault, he literally wouldn’t be able to see certain colors.

[lvl1l1]

You knew something was off the second Valko came home.

He was quieter than usual. Ears slightly drooped, tail hanging low instead of its usual happy swish. He tried to play it off with a small smile and a “hey sweetheart,” but you weren’t having it.

“Come here, baby.”

You open your arms and he practically melts into you. The big, strong man who usually carries you everywhere lets you guide him to the couch and pull him down so his head rests in your lap. He’s so tall his legs hang off the end, but he curls up as best he can, face buried against your stomach like he wants to disappear into you.

“Rough day?” you ask softly, threading your fingers through his hair, gently scratching behind his ears the way he loves.

He nods, a little huff leaving him. “Yeah… things aren’t going very well...”

Your heart aches. Your big wolf boyfriend looks so sad and small like this.

You lean down and pepper kisses all over his face: forehead, cheeks, the tip of his nose, his ears. He lets out a soft, surprised little sound, tail starting to wag weakly against the couch. You keep going, murmuring sweet things between each kiss.

“My good boy… my strong, sweet baby… you did your best and I’m so proud of you.”

You play with his hair, massage his scalp, and when he turns to hide his face in your shirt you just hold him tighter. You order his favorite food, bring him the big blanket he likes, and let him stay curled up in your lap for as long as he wants.

At one point he mumbles, voice muffled, “I’m supposed to be taking care of you…”

You shush him gently and scratch under his chin until his tail wags properly. “Not today. Today you’re my baby and I’m spoiling you. Deal with it.”

Valko lets out a soft, contented rumble, eyes half closed as he nuzzles closer. His tail wraps around your waist the best it can and he finally relaxes, safe and loved in your arms.

You keep petting him, whispering how much you love him, how he’s your favorite person in the whole world, until that sad look in his eyes melts away completely.

You’re sure you’ll love him forever, he’s sure too.

[snoozer-crow]

thinking about drawing while sitting in valko's lap!! his arms wrapped around your waist and his chin resting on your head as he uses his size to his advantage and watches you draw from above. his chest is solid and so so warm against your back, almost too warm. you can never get used to how much warmer he is compared to you.

if you're working digitally, he has endless questions. "what's that? how'd you do that? what does that do?" you answer them all, because you know he's asking just to hear a bit more of the sound of your voice. even if he repeats a couple questions unknowingly.

every once in a while, once you finish a step, he'll ask to borrow your pencil/stylus. if you oblige him, he'll draw a little doodle on the side, his brow furrowed in focus and concentration. (aww! he drew a little puppy!!!!!)

you ask him if he's bored, if he'd rather be doing something else, if he wants to get his phone or gaming console to entertain himself with, but every time he tells you no without even a second of hesitation. he loves being in your presence and feeling your body against his own; just spending time with you and watching you do what you love, even if everything progresses slowly.

if you look up at him, you'll find him attentively watching your process, flashing you a charming grin when you meet his gaze. if you get frustrated during the process of drawing, he'll kiss your furrowed brow, tilting your chin upwards so you move your focus to him instead. he's a master at dissolving the tension building up in your head, and you're never quite sure how he does it. you just know that a few minutes later, you feel reinvigorated and ready to get back to drawing.

and once you put in the last finishing touches and show him your artwork, he'll gaze at it with shining eyes before kissing all over your face and pulling you into a bone-crushing hug, telling you he's so proud and so incredibly lucky to have such a talented mate <333

[slytherweasel]

Morning number 4, still no statement. I did however finally get the automated response from the vip discord bot so that’s something I guess

I know this is hard and it sucks but, like others I’m inclined to agree that Infold likely won’t make any statement until after the anime expo ends, which is the 5th. We’ve done well though I think, trending on all major socials since the 30th, people who have never heard of the game and people who would never play the game are talking about it.

As many have said, take breaks, make sure you are eating and drinking water. Your main wouldn’t want you going hungry or being dehydrated. All love! We got this everyone, Valko will be back!

[unluckywisher]

Imagine Valko working in his lab on something that requires his complete focus, and you enter, so his tail starts wagging even though he hasn't seen you yet, because his nose picked up your scent.

[slytherweasel]

A new morning and still no statement from Infold. There are a bunch of rumors though, someone got replaced, the game is safe, the games isn’t safe, Valko’s coming back in 2 months, the whole game is gonna shut down; just to name a few. None are technically true as we have no real confirmation from the company itself. I wish they’d just tell us something, even if it’s something vague. But I know the government is involved so I doubt we’ll get a statement until there is an official decision made.

It just sucks it’s only day 3 but I miss my fish, I want Valko back, I want the week leading up to Valko back. It was gonna be such a good week, farming for diamonds, seeing all the art and fics that would come out leading up to July 9th. I was excited to see how MC meets Valko, how their personalities mixed with each other, I was excited to hear mc laugh like a child having fun instead of fighting for her life. I want the July we were supposed to have not this.

[slytherweasel]

The most random and silly headcanon for Valko

- When you go on hikes with Valko he points out all the huge rocks/boulders and then excitedly tells you that he’s gonna go climb it

-The best partner for the pool game ‘Chicken’ however even after you both win he is falling backwards into the pool with you still on his shoulders

-Chocolate is the answer to everything, he always has a candy bar or three on him and offers you a bite anytime he’s eating one

-Definitely has a weird urge to want to do a backflip or something when he’s in an open space.

-Would say ‘parkour’ unironically

[souliloqui]

"Would you call yourself an alpha?" You ask Valko curiously, perched on the couch while he sits on the floor between your legs. The TV blares a superhero movie that neither of you have watched and aren't really paying any attention to.

Valko tilts his head back to look up at you, eyes gleaming behind his glasses. "Why do you ask?" He replies and you shrug, running a hand through his thick locks.

"Wolf dynamics." You shrug then smile. "Also fanfiction."

Valko smiles mischievously. "Is this your roundabout way of asking if I have a knot?"

You blink, surprised. "How did you get that from me mentioning fanfiction?"

"You fall asleep with your phone unlocked sometimes," Valko confesses, his trailing fingers leaving sparks across your right leg. "And while I don't snoop—"

"Liar."

"—I do have good eyesight and I happen to know what A/B/O dynamics mean."

Silence is the only response he gets for a moment and Valko looks far too smug at the warring emotions dancing across your face. You look both impressed and mortified.

"But to answer your question, I guess I could be seen as an alpha." Valko turns his sights back to the TV. "So roll around in that for a bit."

He isn't shocked when the TV suddenly turns off and you're standing up.

"Valko."

He's already grinning, wolfish.

"Hmm?"

"Get in the bedroom."

He's scrambling to his feet in a rush of excitement.

"Yes, ma'am."

[blinkbunni]

because I have nothing better to do, these are my headcanons for Valko to spite Infold.

Absolutely adores the height difference between you two, perching his chin on top of your head, randomly picking you up and teasing you about your height.

At first calls you somewhat condescending names like “doll” or “your highness” just to annoy you (bonus points if you act like a brat) but then it turns into a term of endearment, frequently calling you doll or your highness because aren’t you just one?

Will randomly start pretending to box you, in a ready stance and throwing fake punches at you while you do your own thing. You’ve just learnt to ignore it.

Play fights with you. Constantly pins you down when tackling you to the bed, pretending to struggle when you both know he could easily win this, but instead, he tickles you to win.

Is the type to make new year jokes like ‘I haven’t showered since last year,’ and he cracks up at his own jokes.

Insanely clingy. From the moment yu open your eyes in the morning, he’s already right on top of you. Prying him off is almost impossible because he’s like a magnet. (Get it? Cuz his evol is metallization? Ok I’ll shut up now.) he does NOT let you go. And he has no sense of personal space. Not that you’re complaining.

Feigns obliviousness way too much to make you mad. And when you are mad, although you are insanely hot, he’s quickly shushing you with gifts and kisses.

“Aw come on, cuddle me? I don’t bite.”

Calls you “m’lady” (holy cat noir). He’s also instead of taking the elevator or stairs like a normal person to your apartment, has resorted to climbing up your balcony and knocking annoyingly on the glass door until you open it. “Thank you, sweets.”

Loves salty snacks. Caleb likes sour, Xavier likes spicy, Zayne likes sweets, Rafayel is a cannibal and Sylus eats everything. So it fits perfectly!

Has gotten noise complaints from your neighbours downstairs because whenever he’s happy, his tail thumps on the ground (upstairs neighbour activities).

Gets insane cuteness aggression from you. You could have the nastiest rbf ever and he wants to squish your cheeks.

Occasionally insecure about himself, but has started working on it as you compliment him every day, cradling his face and brushing his hair.

His favourite thing to do when he gets home is lie his head on your lap, hoping for head scratches, and nuzzles your thighs when he gets them. (My behbeh I love you)

should I make a pt 2?
