These past three days haven’t been the best for me, and yes I still do think Valko can return, but all the stress of life has piled onto me and started making me a bit pessimistic. I just wanna read everyone’s reasons to believe Valko will return, some hope and reminders might make me feel better. Thanks you guys.

Okay, everybody and their mother is acting like they touched a live wire and got electrocuted. I’m gonna talk to you guys fairly and honestly…YALL ARE DOING TOO MUCH. Glad we got that out.

“Perfect quote”

I hate coming out here to see the tiniest bit of news ruin all the progress we’re making. Did you forget everything else happening? Them attending gamescon isn’t all that bad, it’s neutral, not good not bad. But we have to power to make it good!

These types of events are perfect for coverage! Our AX protest did so well the government article from a while ago mentioned it. They attended other events too during the boycott that some of you seemed to forget about we did the same thing. Gamescon is big, if we show our love for Valko and protest peacefully as always, we are doing something amazing for Valko’s sake!

I was scrolling though xhs and while some CN girls are saying it is distasteful, it’s the perfect opportunity to show how much global impact Valko has and how powerful our boycott and our voices are. They are also very excited for us and saying to boycott hard. They are excited to see all the cosplays and shrines will do and it warmed my heart. One girl said they wanted to do a big protest at BW, but they couldn’t, so they want us to do it for them! (She also said PPG seems to trust it’s global audience to not do anything risky and we shouldn’t do anything to break that)

I sadly will not be attending, but my close friend will and she said she’ll definitely look out for Valko related things. Now is not the time to choke each other out, now is the time to spread our love for Valko. We should be planning our moves, our merch, our cosplays, and so on. Keep calm, things that seem bad aren’t always bad at all, especially when you look at it in a different perspective. Let’s take this chance to speak just how much global wants Valko, so let’s spread this word and get to work!

I should be sleeping, but I decided to start writing this instead. (I promise I’m gonna get some sleep, just gotta get this out of my system 😼) I was gonna upload this on tumblr and ao3 but my page and accounts are very unknown so I’m gonna post it here instead. Basically, kissing headcanons.

🌙 Xavier — the sleepy, surprisingly affectionate kisser

How he kisses:

• Xavier is soft. Almost ridiculously soft.
• He tends to lean in slowly, giving you plenty of time to meet him halfway.
• His kisses are warm and unhurried, like he's trying to make the moment last as long as possible.
• He'll sometimes kiss you without saying anything—just quietly pulling you closer and pressing his lips to yours.
• If you're cuddling, expect little absentminded kisses on your forehead, temple, cheek, and nose.
• He's the type to kiss you once, pull away a centimeter, look at you with sleepy eyes... and then kiss you again because apparently one wasn't enough.

Favorite type: Forehead kisses.
They're his favorite because they're intimate without needing words. He especially loves giving you one when you're tired or stressed.

Secret favorite: When you kiss him while he's half-asleep. He'll barely open his eyes, smile, and pull you closer.

❄️ Zayne — controlled until you make him lose composure

How he kisses:

• Zayne starts incredibly composed.
• His kisses are gentle but deliberate, and he pays attention to every little reaction you have.
• He's not particularly showy with affection in public, but in private? Completely different story.
• He'll cup your cheek or gently hold the back of your neck while kissing you.
• He has this habit of giving you a small kiss and then quietly asking, "Is that enough?"
• If you say no, congratulations. You have successfully destroyed his composure.
• He also loves those tiny kisses exchanged in everyday moments—before you leave, when you arrive, while he's making tea, etc.

His canon characterization leans toward reserved, meticulous, and private, which makes his softer romantic side especially fun to imagine. 

Favorite type: Slow, lingering kisses.

He likes kisses that aren't rushed. The kind where neither of you has anywhere else to be.

Secret favorite: You kissing the corner of his mouth while he's trying to maintain his serious expression.

He'll sigh.

"You're distracting me."

And absolutely not move away.

🐠 Rafayel — FLIRT. MENACE. PROFESSIONAL KISS STEALER.

How he kisses:

• Rafayel is dramatic about it.
• He'll tease you beforehand just to see you get embarrassed.
• “What? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want something?"
• Then he'll kiss you before you can answer.
• His kisses are playful, expressive, and affectionate.
• He LOVES kissing your cheeks repeatedly just to annoy you.
• He'll dramatically complain if you don't kiss him enough.
• “Wow. I see how it is. I guess I'm not loved anymore."
• Five seconds later he's kissing you again.
• He absolutely enjoys stealing kisses when you're distracted.

Rafayel's canon personality is passionate, expressive, and teasing, so this one practically writes itself. 

Favorite type: Cheek kisses.

Especially when you're the one giving them.

He pretends to be annoyed:

"That's it? Just my cheek?"

Meanwhile he's smiling like an idiot.

Secret favorite: When you grab his face and kiss him first.

He'll be stunned for approximately two seconds before becoming unbearably smug about it.

🖤 Sylus — "Come here, kitten."

How he kisses:

• Sylus is confident and very intentional.
• He doesn't rush.
• He'll usually look at you for a moment first, like he's waiting to see if you'll come closer on your own.
• Then he'll gently tilt your chin upward and kiss you.
• His kisses feel very affectionate beneath all the teasing.
• He loves making you flustered afterward.
• He'll pull away with that stupid little smirk and say something like: "Why are you blushing, kitten?"
• Sir. You know exactly why.
• He also absolutely gives surprise kisses when you're talking.
• You: "Sylus, I was saying—"
• Sylus: kiss
• You: "..."
• Sylus: "Continue."

Favorite type: Lip kisses.

Simple, direct, intimate.

He likes the kind where he can keep you close afterward.

Secret favorite: When you initiate.

Especially if you catch him completely off guard.

He'll recover quickly, obviously—but that tiny moment of surprise? Priceless.

☁️ Caleb — the affectionate childhood-friend type

How he kisses:

• Caleb's kisses are incredibly warm and familiar.
• There's a sweetness to them that makes you feel safe.
• He's the type who naturally gives you little kisses throughout the day.
• Forehead when he sees you.
• Cheek when he's teasing you.
• Lips when you're alone.
• He'll probably kiss you while hugging you, too.
• He loves pulling you into a hug first and then kissing the top of your head.
• If you've had a rough day, his first instinct is probably just to hold you and give you gentle kisses until you feel better.
• He's also very likely to kiss you goodbye and then come back five minutes later because he "forgot something."

He forgot nothing.

He just wanted another kiss.

Favorite type: Forehead + temple kisses.

Very comforting, very affectionate, very "I've got you."

Secret favorite: When you're the one who reaches for him first.

🐺 Valko — the intimidatingly gentle kisser

How he kisses:

• Valko would look like he'd kiss aggressively, but I think he'd actually be surprisingly careful with MC.
• He's tall and physically imposing, so he'd be very conscious of his strength around her.
• He'd probably stare at her for a few seconds before leaning down, almost as if he's asking without words.
• His kisses would be slow, deep, and incredibly deliberate.
• One hand would naturally settle at her waist while the other cups her cheek or the back of her head.
• He wouldn't be the type to pepper you with dozens of little kisses like Rafayel.
• Instead, he'd give you one really meaningful kiss and then keep his forehead against yours afterward.
• And because of the wolf imagery? I absolutely believe he'd have a thing for nuzzling. 😭
• Imagine him quietly rubbing his nose against yours before kissing you. DEAD.

His revealed design leaned heavily into the wolf/werewolf aesthetic, with canine features and a stern, brooding appearance, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that for the headcanon. 

Favorite type: Nose/forehead kisses

He'd secretly LOVE when MC presses a kiss to his forehead.

Not because it's passionate, but because it makes him feel trusted and cherished.

And if MC scratches gently behind his ear afterward?

...

Valko.exe has stopped responding.

His secret favorite: When MC kisses him first

Especially if she catches him off guard.

He'd freeze for half a second.

Then he'd look down at her with that intense expression and quietly say:

"Again."

MC: "You liked it?"

Valko: pulls her closer

"I didn't say stop."

😭 THE WOLF MAN WOULD BE MY ABSOLUTE DOWNFALL.

And honestly, his dynamic with the other five would make this even funnier because Rafayel would absolutely be offended that the giant wolf gets more attention than him

Caleb’s banner is coming to an end and we should be expecting a new PV any time soon this week. So here are the things that could happen.

1. They drop Rafayel’s myth

2. They drop some type of rerun

3. They drop a new multi

Now maybe they’ll announce Valko between these, but I’m actually assuming this probably won‘t happen. If they are bringing back Valko, this isn’t the best time to say anything just yet, at least in my perspective. I think Rafayel’s myth is the most likely candidate right now. The CS still says he’s expected to release this month, and they can’t squeeze him in any other time because they have to announce Zayne’s birthday by the end of the month.

Ive seen some people say they might drop a multi banner, but I think this is the most unlikely. It wouldn’t just anger Valko mains but also a lot of others as well (especially Raf mains). Infold is dumb, but they wouldn’t be that dumb to launch any multi right now with the current state of the game and fandom (at least I hope), so I’m not too worried about it for now at least.

They could just all together surprise us and throw in a random rerun, Rafayel mains would be mad though, and I don’t know if they’ll risk that. But again, it’s Infold so you never know.

I just hope they don’t make a dumb decision.

Sometimes I try to lower my expectations by thinking of reasons why Infold might not bring back Valko, but I genuinely cannot find a reason for why the wouldn’t. I also try to think of signs he might not return but so many signs point to yes more than no. And for some reason it makes me mad because I get worried I’m gonna set myself up for failure. Like why wouldn’t Infold bring him back? They gain more than they lose if they do bring him back. And all the recent news somehow gives me the sign they will, but god does it drive me crazy.

They could silence us the same way the did their other boycotts, but they didn‘t.

Negative topics about Valko or how “infold confirms only 5 Li” mysteriously keep disappearing

They have been adding to his files and updating them

They won’t delete his messages or WU

They still have his vids up on twitter despite the giveaways being done

His vids are privated and unlisted, not deleted

His song is still up on multiple sites

The articles and super topics for Valko

The sudden Caleb banner and delay of Rafayel’s myth

etc etc

Like I don’t wanna give myself false hope but how long can I keep calling this a coincidence. For a company that said he was cancelled, they don’t seem that confident.

9m9’s sudden panic to start using her useless 5th grade zombies to try to hide Valko supporters comments and report them if Rafayel’s myth drops could be because she knows Valko is coming, at least that’s what I’ve seen a few people theorize.

We know she has a reliable leaker on her end, that’s how she found out about Valko before anyone else could, and it gave her time to plot against him. Maybe she’s gotten update that Valko could return soon. However, this is just a theory, but it would explain her sudden behavior. What do you guys think?

I don’t wanna be that guy…but if I catch another doom post here I’m gonna rip my hair out. I did not escape twitter just to come back to the same bullshit again. It’s perfectly okay to vent but you’re in the wrong sub if you’re here to talk about why he’s not coming back and lower everyone’s morale. When that feeling starts to eat up at you, it’s a sign that it’s time to step away and take a break, you’re overwhelming and stressing yourself out.

I recommend you guys find some things to distract yourself with and maybe even step outside for a while. I was like this before too but ever since the whole rumors thing I started to separate myself from the game mentally and I’ve never felt better. With everyone happening, I’m sure Valko will return, it’s just a matter of time. But you can’t make every single day and every single second about this game and the boycott. Take some time to do other things, and you’ll feel so much better.
