Actionable Ideas for Challenging Infold Over Valko's Release (Updated!)

A lot of LADS fans are really upset over Infold's decision to shelve Valko. This is my attempt at creating action items for fans wanting to do something but are unsure where to start.

Here are some methods for giving Infold feedback:

Complete the survey in the Love and Deepspace app by selecting the box/pencil icon in the top right corner of the home screen

"Suggest" Valko's release in the Love and Deepspace app by going to Settings > More > Support, then select "Suggestion"

(If you want to be slightly passive-aggressive) On 9 July, go to Settings > More > Support, then select "Bug Report" and fill out the report stating that the promised Valko content is missing

Uninstall the LADS app after sending feedback, unless you want to continue using Support as another place to give repeated feedback

Remember: if we want Infold to listen to us, we MUST remain persistent, civil, and demonstrate our affection for the game. I highly doubt they will be intimidated by non-CN players, which means we are held to a different standard. What is effective for them will not be effective for us.

With that said, remember these do's and dont's:

Do vary your written feedback. Making each piece of feedback you give at least slightly different, particularly in emails, will ensure your thoughts are not filtered out.

Do repeatedly submit/post/send your feedback over the next few weeks. Email them today, in a few days, on 9 July, and in the weeks after. Post on their social media every day. Overwhelm them and show them this isn't going to go away over a few free Wishes.

Do prepare to CONTINUE submitting/posting/sending your feedback over the next few months. Infold needs to see that we won't let this issue go. Schedule emails to be sent to them over the next 3 months. Draft X posts today and copy and paste them to post in a few months time. Draft your long-form in-app feedback in preperation for the update and the upcoming banners. Create reminders to check and comment on their posts weekly. Don't let them get comfortable. Be a dog with a bone (lol).

Do maintain a polite tone in your feedback (even when you are issuing a threat like leaving the game).

Do specify your current disappointments, long-term criticisms, and expectations for the future of the game should you continue to play. For example, don't just say you want more Main Story updates; specify that you want them every three months.

Do clearly isolate your long-term issues with the game from the current issue of Valko's release. Make it clear that those issues are not resolved by delaying or permanently canceling Valko's debut.

Do talk positively about whatever you can (ie. enjoying other LIs, enjoying the content of the Main Story itself, appreciating the worldbuilding, etc). This may feel difficult, but it demonstrates that you are a passionate player. Infold can assume that a player so invested in the game would need something drastic to push them to leave.

Don't use profanity.

Don't reference CN players.

Don't bring up Infold's past mistakes. We need to stay focused on the current issues.

Don't criticize anything about Valko's teased content. This one may be unpopular, I know. If Infold is pulling back Valko's release, I don't think it's likely that they will be willing to invest any more time and money into his development. If they continue to get more and more criticisms about him and don't care to change anything about him, they will never release him. I'm not minimizing any fan's concerns; I'm suggesting we choose a priority.

If you are unsure where to start, here are some talking points:

Express your excitement over Valko (bonus points if you give reasons why). Did you come back from a long hiatus for him?

Express your disappointment over not having Valko in the game. How will it impact your enjoyment of the game?

Describe how you prepared for his anticipated arrival. • In-game (farm for dias, bought packs, etc) • On your devices (created storage space, bought a new device, etc) • Financially (budgeted for buying packs upon his release, etc)

Describe how you engaged in fandom around Valko. Did you create fanart, fanfiction, or other fanworks? How much were you consuming fanworks showcasing him? Demonstrating how beloved he was before any real content of his being released indicates a warm reception if/when he is released.

What are the current issues you experience with the game? Be specific. Describe exactly how they impact your gameplay. Suggest a concrete way those issues could be resolved. Assert that Valko's release being postponed or canceled will not resolve these issues.

Express concern for the changes to their planned story arc his absence would create. Question if those changes would be as enjoyable as their original plan.

(If you're feeling up to it) Acknowledge the amount of time, effort, and money that must have gone into creating Valko. Let them know it would disappoint you to see it go to waste.

Infold made a terrible decision. We need to take action and let Infold know that a large portion of the LADS fanbase wants Valko to be released at some point. Let's try to remain positive where we can, engage in positive fandom, and do our best to make our voices heard by Infold.

Thanks to @shivasdarknight, @adehsroyal, and @alyxzenia for their contributions!

These AUs are actually great from a writer's perspective. Every time they focus on one side of the boys and emphasize them, to show us what would happen if.

In Rafayels case:

We have current Raf who is so much skilled and perfected in hiding his dark sides, that he even deceived parts of the fandom.

Then we have Tamino. Even if I’m a bit uncomfortable with the kindled moment, he’s dear to my heart. Where current Rafayel is a house cat, Tamino is such a stray 🥺

We see how he would be without Lemuria and the burden of his Godhood.

The SanctArch is like a Sphinx to me 😂 full of riddles and secrets, testing MC whenever. He’s powerful, arrogant, and schemin, and also ruthless.

We see how Rafayel would be when Lemuria is his only goal.

I think we will get more of these AUs in the future who focus on a certain shade of his complex character.

The only thing I have to criticize is that this time the story felt less detailed compared to its Catch-22 version. The progression of RafMC relationship felt more relatable in Extreme Dose, whereas in Fires of Devotion, I missed it a little.

But maybe that’s just me. Overall it was great 😍

MC: What are you eating?

Rafayel: You wouldn't like it, it's really salty.

MC: I like you, don't I?

Roommate Xavier who fiddles with the sleeve of your sweater one evening when you’re both slumped down on the couch after a long day. With big blue eyes and a softly pouted lip, he stares deep into your soul, speaking a language only the two of you understand.

Roommate Xavier who has you whimpering his name in your bed almost every other night because you’re such great friends who simply have to take care of each other. Who says taking care of each other can't involve his insane tongue on your clit and those strong arms of his wrapped around your thighs to keep your spread open for him? You already share bills, a bathroom, groceries — why not a bed?

Roommate Xavier who has his hand wrapped in your hair, as he pounds into you from behind. His skin is warm against yours and his touch laced in something sinful. Every filthy word out of his pretty mouth coming across as something almost decadent on his velvety voice — a stark contrast to how roughly his hand grips your hip so that he can maintain the relentless pace he knows you secretly love as he speaks between each deep thrust.

"Moving in with you was, ahh fuck, the... best... decision... I... ever... made."

Roommate Xavier who overstimulates you so beautifully you almost weep at the emptiness of his absence — in more ways than one… The bed feels far too big when you’re the only one in it. You’re laying on your side clenching and unclenching your hand into a fluffy pillow wondering if you dare knock on his door this late in the night. Would it be weird if you asked your roommate/fuck buddy to just cuddle?

Roommate Xavier who pulls you out of your thoughts by knocking on your door and opening it slowly without waiting for permission. For a moment he pauses by the threshold, staring at your sleepy form all alone in the big bed. The familiar soft pout makes a return before he takes a few careful steps forward. He studies you, looking for any sign of rejection, any hint that you don’t want him in your space. Instead you scoot over and pull back the duvet in a silent invitation. He smiles and you almost weep again at how beautiful this man is. Sweet, kind, helpful, caring; the perfect roommate, right?

As he nuzzles against your chest with a warm palm rubbing soothing circles against your hip, you begin to wonder when you last saw him as ‘just a roommate’. You kiss his forehead and hold him tightly, hoping that he somehow knows that your heart aches to be close to his. Then, he mumbles something against your chest and kisses you tenderly, before drifting off to sleep.

"Thank you, Starlight… Thank you for taking care of me."

AN: You know what face he's making, right? Thanks for reading! Likes, comments and reblogs are highly appreciated! If anyone is interested in being added to the taglist, let me know!

This.

Someone finally explained it

[mephistopheles]

sorry im not done gatsbyposting. the nyc celebrations for its 100th anniversary are so uniquely deranged. like here you have a book that absolutely scathes new york parties & dress-up & entertainment & alcohol & careless wealthy east coast elites. and the way the city is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most beautifully written & personally devastating literary tragedies this country has ever produced is by. offering 10% off gatsby-themed cocktails at luxury bars. hosting pay-to-attend 1920s themed costume balls in the wealthiest areas of midtown. setting up penthouse hotel suites to ostensibly resemble locations from the book. a few hours ago at an exclusive private event they had the cast of the glamorous broadway musical, all in designer clothes, light up the empire state building green to advertise their show where tickets cost up to $670. one of them said the green light ‘represents the beauty of the american dream.’ i think you could power all manhattan with energy generated from the rotational torque of f scott fitzgerald spinning wildly in his grave

[mephistopheles]

anyhow i celebrated this international holiday by leaving work early & dressing up & driving north five and a half miserable hours to see the empire state lit up green because this was a true once in a lifetime event & this book changed my life & i wanted to celebrate a character i loved and mourned & see a glittering green light shining on the water & reach for it like dreamers do. but even though all the websites and blogs i could find told me it would be green on the 11th—that it would blaze green all night on the 11th, and i triple checked each one—by the time i got there at 8:15 pm they’d turned it off. and the parties had happened thursday night, not friday. so i ended up alone & exhausted & rain-drenched & freezing & quite frankly absolutely crying my eyes out on the shore across from the city, just fucking stupidly sobbing above the water, wishing i could go back just a little way into the past. and THATS how you do gatsby. ill kill you all

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

[boyrot]

boy it's me the textiles speaking to you inside your head. you need the yarn. you need thread. your soul hungers to participate in the act of creation. you must feed it. you must buy so many beads.

don’t let anyone on this website call you cringe they literally have a tumblr account

[undeadhousewife]

What I love about this site is the fact it's the closest I've gotten to pre-2000 internet in years. No one knows anyone's real name, photos are entirely optional, and we're pretty sure at least one of our mutuals is 100% lying about everything. There's a reason it's one of the only social media sites I keep coming back to. It somehow manages to be just as horrible, enjoyable, and chaotic as 1990s chat rooms used to be.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

The internet is a gentrified neighbourhood and we’re a stubborn old lady refusing to sell her run-down home to the developers.

[da-boy-o-kultur]

Oh they already sold us to the developers and the developers went bankrupt trying to dislodge us.

It's funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are... idk if it's an education gap or purposeful ignorance.

[mastreworld]

The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.
