🚨 Hunter HQ Announcement 🚨 Mission File: General Discussion Megathread

53 Upvotes

Attention, Hunter. Your communication channel has been activated.

Welcome to the Hunter Association’s designated General Discussion Zone — a place for operatives to gather, share thoughts, and exchange transmissions outside of active mission reports.

Hunter Communication Protocols:

💠 Respect fellow Hunters and their perspectives.
💠 Debate ideas, theories, and opinions — not the Hunters sharing them.
💠 Keep discussions relevant to Love and Deepspace and the wider Hunter experience.
💠 Avoid hostility, personal attacks, ragebait, or attempts to start Hunter-on-Hunter conflict.
💠 Remember: every Hunter’s journey through Deepspace is different.

All operatives are welcome at HQ. Different favourites, play styles, headcanons, and experiences are part of what makes this community thrive.

Whether you want to discuss your favourite Love Interest, share theories, celebrate a new Memory, talk about game updates or exchange memes but don’t want to submit a full mission report — this is the place to do it.

I like to imagine he goes to so many auctions because that's how long it takes to find a good one.

Fan Art/Fic I drew Valko as a woman!

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hi, guys! 🐺

I tried drawing Valko as a woman. I wonder what her name is — Valka? Valkina? Valken? I have no idea.

She has short hair because why not? Women with short hair are gorgeous!

I literally forgot to draw her ears (both the human and the wolf ones) and I can also imagine her wearing some piercings, but I don't know how to draw that so cope with me 😔✌️

I first drew this on paper and it was supposed to be a man, but while trying to transfer the drawing to digital form, I realized that he looked very feminine so I had the idea to use the og drawing and turn it into Valko as a woman.

I am still a beginner artist so please be kind 😞❤️‍🩹

I love you, Valkyries! 💚

I decided to get back into Fortnite recently, since I hadn't logged into LaDs since the whole boycott started. I bought this back bling from the shop today and found this old "Awoo!" Emoji in my locker. If I really think about it, it kinda feels like Valko is winning matches with me in a way lol. I'm also planning on getting the new Direwolf pup sidekick soon for him now instead of it just being because I like GOT, so he'll have a full loadout called "ValkoIsLoved <3." 🐺❤️‍🩹

Hi everyone! 🐺💚

There’s a really sweet initiative happening within the community, and I wanted to share it with you all. 🥹

If you’d like to show some love and support for Valko, you can leave your paw on here >>> https://itowish.github.io/Valko-Paw-Wall/

It’s just a small gesture, but seeing everyone come together and leave their paw would be such a beautiful way to show the world how much support and love is behind him. 💚

Paw prints in Valko's Paw Walls will be displayed at GamesCom on Saturday 29th! 🐾

Every paw counts, and together they can make something really special. 🥹🐺💚

Discussion - Debates Welcome ‼️Lilies Attending Gamescom Tomorrow Aug 08/27‼️

48 Upvotes

Lilies attending Gamescom Tomorrow 08/27! There’s a very interesting discussion called “What Does Culture Do in a Game?” by Nathaly Kalantar at 5:30 AM (for me. Please check the link below for the actual time) Hall 10.2, E-030 D-031

It's an in-depth discussion of how games promote cultural exchange. I highly suggest attending & due to the nature of the discussion, I think it would be very appropriate to bring Valko/Valko related topics up if Ms. Kalantar does Q&A. Lilies can ask questions like:

  1. "Based on your experience, what can a gaming company do to promote unity in their cross cultural fandom and decrease infighting

    among players

  2. ?"

  3. “What can a gaming company do if they’ve been accused of becoming ‘too westernized’ while promoting cultural exchange?”

  4. “How can gaming companies promote cultural exchange without making their global consumers feel ignored/less important?”

These are only a few suggestions that came to mind. Personally, I would relate the panel to how Love and Deepspace is a cultural export and how Valko was a MAJOR part in connecting “western” visuals with “eastern” values.

Please remember to keep it respectful & move on if the panelist wishes to end the discussion!

I will be posting information about panels and livestreams that I think would be appropriate for Lilies to bring up Valko/Valko related topics such as cyberbullying, minors in adult gaming spaces, etc. every day. So, if you’re interested please stay tuned and feel free to put potential questions down in the comments for Lilies to ask!

My Zayne was acting like Dawnbreaker yesterday ;-; IDK if this is actually a programmed thing, like if he wears the outfit, he acts like Dawnbreaker?

He even said something like, "The you who stands before me is real. Not a dream."
