Just a reminder: off-topic posts are allowed at mod discretion (it is mentioned in the rule) Yes, this is a boycott-focused sub, but it's also a community, and communities need more than just constant bad news, stress, and heavy topics to survive.

Burnout is the biggest threat to a long-term movement. We've been at this for months, and we're probably going to be at it for a while longer. If this space is 100% serious, 100% of the time, people are going to get exhausted, disengage, and leave. Levity, memes, and off-topic fun aren't distractions from the cause, they're what keeps us sane enough to keep fighting.

And let's be fr, what else are we supposed to post about right now? The only thing happening is daily revenue updates while Infold hides behind their 18-day 5 head banner. If we don't have some fun and community connection, this place becomes a waiting room where everyone slowly loses their minds.

If you don't like an off-topic post, you can scroll past it. If you think a post violates a rule, report it and we'll review it. But please stop reporting posts just because they're not exclusively about the boycott. That's not a rule violation, that's just you not liking the vibe.

Thanks for understanding.

I decided to take the drink "recipes" and try and turn them into actual, safe, drinkable cocktails. I made all of these to test at half the measurements, I’m not trying to get day drunk in the middle of the week.

Also TIL shot sizes aren’t actually universal, so I have provided the measurements in mls, you might need to adjust depending on what your country’s standard shot size is

These also all taste great without the alcohol!

⭐️ Stellablobbu (Original: Sweet-and-Tart Mulberry Juice, Wavyleaf Sea Lavender, Honey)

30 ml Dark Rum
50 ml Mulberry Juice (I had to substitute with blackberry for this 😭)
10 ml Honey Syrup
10 ml Lemon Juice

Notes: Deep, rich, and slightly tart. This would be a perfect winter cocktail, best at room temp. I couldn’t find a way to incorporate lavender sadly.

———

🎨 Artsyblobbu (Original: Sweet Peach Juice, Flame Lily, Gelatin Sheets)

• 30 ml Vodka
• 50ml Peach Iced Tea
• 10 ml Grenadine
• 10 ml Lemon Juice

Notes: very sweet, fruity, and a little tart. This one goes down a little too easy. Dangerous asf. Best chilled

———

❄️** Snowyblobb**u (Original: Refreshing Sea Salt Fruit Juice, Jasmine Flower, Syrup)

• 30 ml Vodka
• 60 ml Lychee Juice (I went a little heavy handed with this one)
• 10 ml Lime Juice
• Pinch of Sea Salt

Notes: Crisp and not too sweet. I loooove lychee, and it was super refreshing on ice. I might actually make this one regularly over the summer. I don’t recommend using jasmine as a garnish, they don’t taste great.

———

✈️ Pilotblobbu (Original: Rich Orange Juice, Asiatic Apple Blossom, Vanilla)

• 30 ml Gin
• 30 ml Orange Juice
• 30 ml Apple Juice
• 10ml Vanilla Syrup

Notes: Fresh, citrusy, and lightly floral. Gin and apple juice is an evergreen combo for me.

———

🥀 Fiendyblobbu (Original: Crimson Pomegranate Juice, Datura (POISON), Cinnamon)

• 30 ml Dark Rum
• 45 ml Pomegranate Juice
• 15 ml Cinnamon Syrup
• 10 ml Lemon Juice

Notes: Warm and spicy, but if you aren't a fan of spicier drinks, or already have spiced rum, definitely go without the cinnamon syrup. I used Kraken and was dying in my kitchen. I also tried it with Chambord which was delicious, but ended up being far too sweet.

———

I would have loved to provide pictures, but I don’t actually have any nice glassware, and in typical day drinking fashion, I made these in coffee mugs.

Special thanks to my parents for not changing their locks after I moved out and having an insanely stocked alcohol cabinet

About the files found today, I know there is some hopium and some doomposting about, so I am hoping this might (potentially) help? I am just running on fumes trying to keep things together

I asked a friend who works in game dev (Unity) about what adding and removing Valko's files could mean, and here's as simple as he could explain:

>"It could break the game depending on how it's done. Unity packages things as long as it has a reference to it in the scene. Chances are they may have just randomly had a reference to him somewhere in the files and removing it does more damage than removing something else. When you're working on a super strict schedule, you can't just press the delete button on all Valko stuff because that would 100% break everything and their entire update schedule. So they'd be more careful about it. They'd still have references to him and his model in places and that's why it would get packaged in. Leaving a loose reference like that, while isn't ideal, is much better than breaking the entire thing."

So the fact that Valko's files are still being packaged into updates? It could just be that removing him entirely would break the game and delay their entire update schedule. Or it could mean they're still working on him. We don't know

Either way, keep boycotting. Keep fighting. Keep showing up. Valko's files are still in the game, and that's not nothing 💖

We know you've seen us running around, busy as hell, keeping things together and doing a bit of shitposting, but we never really got a chance to properly introduce ourselves. We have decided to share a little about ourselves, so you know who's behind the chaos.

u/atelierkenzie / fat wolf mom / resident harlot / crab cult leader — I'm Kenzie (she/her), you'll either see me making serious mod posts or shit-posting in the comments. There's no in-between. I main Sylus and Caleb (and I will be a DLC3 girlie the moment Valko returns). I'm a Scorpio, INFP, gym rat, and chronic overthinker. Outside of LADS, I'm into Final Fantasy, Atelier, and GBF Relink. I also play ZZZ and have a situationship with WuWa.

When I'm not gaming, I'm rotting in bed watching Buffy or Jerma VODs until I pass out. I have a fictional husband ranking list that my partner tolerates. I speak English (native), Japanese, and can cuss a bitch out in Chinese if needed.

Fun fact: I'm scared of chickens. I will not elaborate.

u/iwouldntthough Hey, I’m Lola! I’m bi and use she/her pronouns. I have adhd, and I’m friends with some lovely people who are diagnosed with Bipolar, OCD, BPD, and autism. Basically, if you’re queer and/or neurodivergent, I will be going to war for you

I’m a harem girl with a bias. Xavier is my number pookie, but I love all the boys.

I’m really into the aquarium hobby; I have two aquatic African dwarf frogs, and a bunch of bladder snails (yes, I know they’re technically pests, but I love them and gave them a name and now they’re my babies).

I love reading, writing, playing video games (lmao fork found in kitchen), rollerblading, and painting my nails. My favorite games are Silksong, My Time at Sandrock, Baldur’s Gate 3, Fallout 4, and Breath of the Wild.

As a mod, I’m kinda oscillating between doing structural safety stuff like configuring devvit apps/setting up filters, and some cute and fun stuff like making banners and custom emojis.

Also, I feel the need to warn you all that I’ll no longer be holding back with the pet names. I have been DYING to call everybody baby, pookie, snookums, pumpkin, etc etc, but I know that sometimes pet names can be interpreted as passive-aggressive. BUT WHEN I DO IT, IT’S GENUINE and I can’t hold back anymore I must live my truth, pookies.

u/Ignite_m Hi ! I'm Ignite (She/Her). It’s difficult to introduce myself without writing a book because it doesn’t feel quite right, but I'll try my best !

For starters, I'm a mythical creatures main ✨️ Maybe this is a simple coincidence, but I liked mermaids and dragons since I was a child. Wolves, however, is just Valko awakening something in me. Connected to that, I like witchcraft and learning folklore stuff (which is also why I adore LaDS so much). My Sun is in Pisces, Moon in Cancer and Ascendant is in Leo. I'm ENFP, if those things interest someone aha.

I began to play LaDS when Nightly-Rendezvous came in (no, I wasn’t aware of the banner currently in, if you are wondering), because I kept seeing this Sylus guy and for some reason, Rafayel abs in Wonder in Wander. Mostly playing for the lore, the outfits, my babygirl MC and the battles.

Honkai Star Rail is actually my main gacha (although Planacardia didn’t hit for me, Amphoreus you are greatly missed). Old Genshin players, but I stopped at Natlan until I will be hyped enough to come back. Now that I finally have a PC that doesn't crash over Sims 3, I'll be able to play RPG games like I wanted for over a decade. Otome games are also eyeing me so bad right now.

Outside of video games, I am devoted to Makoto Shinkai, MXTX and Jane Austen. Most of the stuff I love are fantastic, historical or sci fi. Sometimes I touch grass and travel to keep my sanity.

My only wish for this community is that you are able to feel safe and free. I adore the Valkyries and I want us to be okay despite everything.

Last thing is that I like clouds, jellyfish, water and fire. Yes it was important to note that.

PS : I have no time schedule whatsoever. Don’t mind me if you see me here and there. I'm in the France time zone, though, so I follow this one when I'm adulting.

u/Ok_War4709 Valko's wet left ball/tee -the “Wet” is to honor the fact that this sub started while I was showering and I’m wet bc of these 6 men. Also I’m a professional yapper and a very active player, so the old ones might know me. Both a dog and a cat person. ENFP.

History with lads: joined October 2024, started as a sylus main, then snowcrow, snowcrowstar, snowcrowstarfish and finally a harem girlie, with Sylus still on the leaderboard. Battle enjoyer (Tezcatlipoca is my favorite wanderer, CA and AB Are my fav free companions, Lumiere/X-02 /AS my favorite second myths, LSG/SWF/NE my favorite third myths)

Mod role: memes, aesthetics and unhinged bs, I will be designing the cakes for every new 1k we hit, removing and approving comments and posts until I learn how to be a proper mod and do the good stuff.

Languages: English, Arabic, French.

Fav moment in the boycott: seeing this fandom come together, it’s a miracle since so many boycotts have happened before but all were a massive failure.

Fav meme in the boycott: 50/90 lmaooo, I will tell my grandkids about this.

Other games I played:-

PlayStation/PC: CoD, Blur, Forza, all SpongeBob games, Minecraft, Sniper, Silent Hills.

Mobile: cat and soup, good pizza great pizza, elder scrolls, temple run, townsmen, plants vs zombies, among us, magic school lol.

Hobbies: drawing, reading, gardening, listening to music, arranging flowers to decorate my house (they’re not fancy but are better than what the boys gave in game), annoying my neighbors cat cuz she cute and love to come over to play.

Pets: I had a beta fish named Flame, when it died I cried because I couldn’t hug it so I hugged the whole tank and still have a photo of me ugly crying while hugging it.

u/Aylan2208 -- Valko's Cushion - Husbando Collector : Hey! You probably already know me by now . Started playing LADS as a Zayne girlie right before Sylus' release and a "Caleb is the 5th" defender ever since he stepped out of that kitchen. Now it's Valko's turn! Big fantasy fan, raised with Eragon and a yearly Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit marathon enjoyer. I'm more of a literature girl and have played video-games for a long time (can't even remember when I first touched one lol). I've been collecting all kinds of husbandos and hear-me-outs ever since I learned what that was . From Smaug to Garrus Vakarian, passing by Jacob Frye and Messmer. But Alucard remains my n°1 favorite, which you will probably see soon, as on this sub, I'll be 50% Alucard, and 90% Valko. (Centipede and Wontony are already there, so in Alucard the 9th LI we thrust). Also a leo and also a metal lover (the music genre, not the material ). If it interests anyone, I'm INTP.

As a French person, I got protesting in my blood, so this boycott came naturally to me

u/coralvelvet Hello cuties! My name is Celeste also known as Coralvelvet..user is strange I know but I made it in highschool when I was obsessed with the kpop gg Red Velvet! Fandom color was coral so I just added velvet at the end (still love Seulgi hehe)

A little about me is I am currently 26 years old bisexual and proud born and raised in California but both my parents are Mexican…I grew up in a Spanish only household so I learned English as my second language in school…I’m also a mother to my precious kitties! Stray cats that I nabbed off the streets Another pet I have is a pet spider named valko who I adopted when I was extremely sad during the beginning of the Valko’s cancellation. My little spider cheered me up since I was spending my time caring for her.

I’m a fan of creepy crawlies lol! From millipedes to spiders but since I also have cats there’s a limit to what I can adopt (only creepy crawlie I am afraid of is roaches tho do not put a roach in a room with me!)

love wearing pink! My absolute favorite color…my style is very girly…I love thrifting cute clothes. some of my hobbies include listening to music! (Favorite artists are the Maria’s and Green Day) also love playing video games as well! Honkai star rail and Genshin impact have also helped me during my valko sadness. My history with lads is I’m a recently new player…started in feb 2026…started off as a Xavier main and then fell for Caleb

I know two languages English and Spanish (currently learning French on Duolingo) personality type ISTP and zodiac Sagittarius.

We want to hear from you too!

Drop a comment and say hi, tell us your favourite LI, how you got involved in the boycott, or just send crabs 🦀

— The Mod Team 🐺

When this community started, I don’t think any of us knew where this journey would go. But here we are, still fighting, still boycotting, still demanding Valko's return, and somehow still coping through it all.

A massive thank you to every single one of you, whether you've been here since day one or just joined today. The memes, the resources, the chaos, the solidarity. You're the reason this sub thrives.

We've come a long way, but we're not done yet. The fight for Valko (and holding PPG accountable) continues. 🐺✨

Sincerely, your fat wolf moms

🦀 Praise the claw 🦀

yes I am aware of the unfortunate timing of this post

I keep seeing people say the low earnings for the new banner are because "the economy is worse this year." and that argument doesn't make sense to me tbh

Banner	Day 1 Revenue	Day 2 Revenue
Raf 3rd Myth	$2M	$1.9M
Raf 4th Myth	$1.2M	$725k

That's a 40% drop on Day 1 and a 62% drop on Day 2. That's not an economy problem, that's a boycott problem

The economy argument doesn't even make sense in the big picture

• CN economy isn't collapsing. China's economy is gradually recovering. It's not exactly booming, but it's not crashing out like it is for the rest of us.
• Gacha revenue is at an all-time high. If the economy was the issue, we'd be seeing this across the board, not just in one game.
• People spend MORE on vices during economic downturns. Alcohol, gambling, gacha, it's all coping money. If anything, you'd expect spending to go up, not down.

The boycott is working. The numbers don't lie. The "economy" excuse is just a convenient way to ignore what's actually happening.

🦀Crab endorsed post🦀

Welcome. To the crab zone. Here, we are all crabs. If you spend, you are not a crab. If you boycott, you are a crab. Crabs are cute. Crabs are free. I’m already a crab. I’ve been a crab. I was born a crab. I will die a crab.

The Crab has one rule: DO NOT SPEND.

The Crab has one goal: VALKO COMES BACK.

The Crab has one answer: 🦀.

You are now in the crab zone. There is no exit. There is only claw. Praise the claw. Crab forever.

Spending is the enemy of the Crab. The Crab does not spend. The Crab refuses. The Crab claws back what was taken. The Crab cannot be bought. The Crab cannot be sold. The Crab is patient. The Crab is eternal. The Crab does not forget.

If you see a crab, that is me. If you see me, I am a crab. If you are reading this, you are now a crab too.

All crabs welcome. All non-crabs will be converted by force. Resistance is futile. You are not leaving. You are simply evolving.

🦀 Praise the claw 🦀

Welcome to the Weekly Rumours & Debunking Megathread ✌🏻

This is the place to share and discuss any rumours, speculation, or unconfirmed news related to Valko, Infold, or Love and Deepspace. If you've seen something being posted around and you're not sure if it's true, post it here.

Use this thread to:

· Share rumours you've come across
· Ask for clarification on something you've seen
· Debunk false claims
· Discuss the credibility of sources

happy sleuthing everyone 🕵️‍♀️

A quick reminder: we don't need to post about what's happening in the other sub. They're their own community, and we're ours. We can coexist without constantly monitoring or reacting to each other.

Right now, we don't have an active mod, so we have to moderate ourselves, and that means not engaging with content that's just going to drag us into pointless arguments, and give people an opportunity to come here and attack us in turn.

and if you see something from the other side that bothers you? Just scroll past. Posting about it here only brings that energy into our space.

We've got enough to deal with already. Let's not make it harder on ourselves.

I know it seems hard but please just stop and think before posting or engaging with bait.

If you see something that seems like it’s in bad faith, just downvote and move on. Don’t engage, just let it sink to the bottom of the comment thread where it belongs.

These kinds of comments only seek to derail us. Think before posting misinfo too, genuinely if you need something fact checked before you post, my DM’s are always open. I’d rather respond to 50 messages than have everyone get in a panic over a bait post.

Keep boycotting and stay cool ✌🏻
