I get so angry when I think about how much we lost. 2 days ago, Valko would have been here. I could have got his cards by now, spent time in the home with him too. Done battles and even collected more dias for next banners.

I just can't stop thinking about what could have besn

PLEASE Out of all the myths to boycott this is the ONE!!! Raf is the face of LADS, their baby 🐟 The myth will get a rerun!

If money is spent for him it shows Infold we don’t really care about what happened and they can continue on with how their handling things for the future.

THE TIME IS NOW!!!

Valko is Raf’s foil! Raf wouldn’t be okay with what has happened, especially since he is an artist himself! We are fighting for Valko, the game, the story, and all the other LI’s: Rafayel, Zayne, Caleb, Sylus, and Xavier!!

please 🙏 we have to stand together! If roles were reversed I know Valko girlies would do the same 🫶 I know how hard of an ask this is, it’s a big one, but please consider it!

This is the weekend reminder that we ARE having an impact on infold and the entire valko situation.

Infold's app store ratings are HELLA LOW

Infold's revenu this month is abysmal

We broke one of their emails/filled that shit to capacity

There are articles about valko's cancelation and our reaction

We've also donated $20,000 to wolf conservation, notably in Mexico and Russia

Our movement is having positive real world impacts

And now time for some a reality check for the dormers:

With everything going on and the events prior to Valko's cancelation, infold was set on having him in the game. The reason he was 'canceled' was bc infold was reported to the Chinese consumer protections (or another branch). The government is likely breathing down their necks and they are likely under a gag order either by their legal team or the gov, only able to give only nessesary information online, such as events being canceled. We know they have been harassed snd even had someone livestream themselves walking into infold HQ with a knife. Infold is likely taking multiple legal actions against those responsible for the harassment campaign and those that threatened to do bodily harm to their employees, along with Chinese news sources that spread misinformation and inflammatory rumors against infold and valko. Yes, their PR is abysmal, along with their communication, however they can't exactly post 'hey give us a minute, the government is on our ass and we have 50 lawsuits and criminal cases against people going on rn.'

It has only been abt 2 weeks since shit hit the fan. Legal proceedings take time.

Government paperwork or review takes time.

I did not expect valko to be in the 6.0 update and, quite honestly given the situation, no one should have expected in the 6.0 update.

I know we're angry and upset and we want our puppy. We want answers and communication. However, none of us are in infold's offices. None of us know what legal or governmental issues they're dealing with.

((And no this doesn't mean we need to get off their ass about this. We keep the protest and boycot going until we get solid veritable answers. And even then infold best be coming back groveling for forgiveness))

Remember, it has been 12 days since the mess begin, with 2 major chinese holidays with infold also seeing legal action against the cyber smear campaign (technically just police cracking down on cyber bullying), editing the update in a panic, and likely seeking out other legal actions.

Let's not loose our heads and catastrophize the worst outcomes. If they wanted valko gone, they would have deleted everything about him. They haven't. The game breaking update was 10 gigs. The only way for thay nothing sandwich of an update to be 10 gigs is for his files to still be there. If the chinese gov wanted lads gone, it would be shut down. If they wanted paper games/infold shut down, it would be shut down.

I have faith that Valko will be released in a later update and I won't give up just bc we've had to wait.

I also reccomend checking out @cairoblair for the latest reports on the valko situation and actions we can take.

Let's not give up!

We can still get our wolf back!

Tail Blanket

Because wdym valko has this line??? Wdymmm?? I need answers, infold! Bring him back now!

Valko x reader, bit of a hurt/comfort, established relationship… ~wc 540

“When I was little and wandering in the wild, I didn’t have a blanket, so I used my tail to cover myself.”

Valko meant it as a passing comment, really. A fun trivia about his tail. A tidbit of memory that surfaced while helping you fold the big fuzzy blanket you had just shared for movie night.

But you paused mid-fold, and turned to look at him with a frown.

Wandering in the wild? When he was little? Without anything…? How could that happen?

You thought of a much younger Valko, all alone in a dangerous forest at night.

Probably muddy, hungry, and shivering from the harsh wind.

Exhausted and leaning against a tree, curling around himself before hugging his tail.

“Babe?” He tentatively called, observing you.

Your lips quivered. Gaze looking elsewhere as you tried to dodge his inquisitive eyes.

“Hey now, are you—” concerned, he sets the throw blanket away and comes closer to gently cup your face, guiding you to turn back to him. “Are you feeling sad for me?”

Your eyes finally meet his, and he sees the sheen of tears that has started to gather in them.

He presses his forehead to yours. He understands your sincerity. You’re always so sweet to him. He vows to keep your tender heart safe.

“There is no need,” he says in a low voice, thumbs caressing your cheeks as he coaxes you. “That was a long time ago. I’m fine. Didn’t mean to make you sad.”

You huff, burying your face into his chest as you wrap your arms around his torso. “You must have felt frightened.”

He says nothing, just slowly runs his hand over your hair.

“I’m going to build a time machine.” You mumble into his chest.

You feel the vibration on his chest as he chuckles. “And come find me?”

“Yes. I’ll be younger too. I’ll bring a blanket. And a flashlight. And a tent. And some food.”

He hums. “And a gallon of my favorite chocolate milk?”

That gets you to smile. “Silly.” You squeeze around his waist. “We’ll make it a fun camping night. Play games, count the stars. And when daylight comes, I’ll bring you to your family.”

He kisses your forehead, then nuzzles into your hair. “Thank you, my love. I would have been thrilled to meet you back then.”

He sits down on the couch, leading you to sit sideways on top of him, then lets out his tail to drape over your legs. You giggle, leaning on his chest as you gently brush your hand over his fur.

He regales you with other tales of his childhood, making sure to mention happy memories and exaggerate his mischievous moments. Until he feels your breathing start to even out.

Valko carefully lifts you up and carries you to bed, sliding under the covers with you. He turns to look at your face for a while, before finally settling in to hold you close for the night.

He dreams of that forest again, and sees his younger self. But this time, the small werewolf is happily following a little firefly that chose to stay and light his way. “We’ll be just fine, bud.” He says behind them, the weight of this memory feeling much lighter.

Fresh copium: Valko's tag on AO3 now has over 500 works!

This doesn't even BEGIN to take into account all the fic that's been posted on other platforms. Scroll through the tags here on Tumblr, and it's easy to see that there are a ton more fanworks for him that don't seem to be crossposted to AO3. Valko Is Loved!!
