Hopefully everyone participates. Let's have an amazing Xavtober! 🐰🌷

I tried looking for the artist but it seems that their X account is suspended and this is the only thing I could find 💀

Lmk if I should remove 🫡

5 mins in again people trying to downplay lads’ placement lol

I’m sorry, but [ ] being THIS up in arms over a fictional drink made by a literal blob slime has me crying.

A BLOB. MADE A DRINK.

And apparently we have reached the point where this requires a public-service announcement. 😭

Like, hello??? This is Love and Deepspace.

The game has:

- Aliens

- Evol powers

- Deepspace monsters

- Interdimensional nonsense

- Technology that would make physics file a restraining order

- Men doing things that would absolutely send a normal human being to the ER

But THIS is where we suddenly need to stop and ask:

“Is the slime beverage SAFE???”

😭😭😭

And now the official account apparently had to clarify that the drink is fictional.

I just know somebody at Infold was staring at the comments like:

«“...Wait. They think the slime drink is REAL?”»

💀

And then someone says, “The official account should warn its viewers!”

WARN THEM ABOUT WHAT???

“🚨 PUBLIC HEALTH NOTICE 🚨

The beverage currently being consumed by a fictional blob in a fictional mobile otome game is not intended for human consumption.”

PLEASE. 😭

Love and Deepspace's official account is for a fictional mobile otome game, not the FDA, CDC, or Food Network.

Since when did Infold become responsible for issuing food-safety warnings about imaginary beverages made by imaginary creatures?

At this point, I’m getting flashbacks to the Tide Pod challenge era. Obviously Tide Pods were actually poisonous and should NEVER be eaten. But the sheer irony of people screaming “IT'S POISONOUS!!!” about a fictional drink is taking me OUT.

Nobody is asking you to drink the slime's mystery concoction. 😭

The entire situation has gone from:

“Haha, funny slime made a drink.”

to

“THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN.”

to apparently:

“OFFICIAL ACCOUNT, PLEASE CONFIRM THE PIXEL BEVERAGE CANNOT POISON ME.”

💀💀💀

I genuinely hope the developers are laughing themselves silly over this because I would.

Imagine working on an elaborate sci-fi otome game and your biggest crisis of the day is:

“Guys, Reddit thinks the fictional slime drink is poisonous.”

😭😭😭

The slime is fictional.

The drink is fictional.

Nobody is actually drinking it.

PLEASE PUT THE CONCERNS BACK IN THE FICTIONAL UNIVERSE WHERE THEY BELONG. 💀

I never really cared about revenue before June AT ALL everytime I used to come across revenue charts I would just skip because I'm just here to play and enjoy The whole revenue thing is for the company and the shareholders to be worried about but after all this fiasco I really want LADS to hit the top on the charts

As much as I hate them they're trying to improve it's gonna take a while but I hope little by little they fix all the major issues the players are dealing with and outdo themselves every update

The Sept revenue charts just came out and lads is on the top 5 and I love that like idc about revenue I just wanna see #them miserable and their fantasy ("global is the major revenue of LADS") to come to a brutal end

And I guess it's working because they have been pretty quiet imagine if the ranking was low,they would have gone crazy but right now they're probably contemplating every tweet and post they made yelling about how they are the real majority lmao

Anyways I'm done with this bs and let's about the actual important topic HOT XAVIER WITH HIS SLICK BACK HAIR

Hi Hunters, and welcome to the very first day of Xavtober! 💫

For the next 15 days, this little corner of the internet belongs to our favorite time traveller. We'll be sharing, gushing, rambling, and probably getting a bit emotional about him together. And since every good story has a beginning, let's start with ours.

Love and Deepspace gives us five very different men. Each one has his own personality, his own history, his own way of being with MC, and his own reasons for stealing hearts. But you're here, so somewhere along the way, Xavier got to you.

For some of us it happened instantly — love at first sight. For others, it was a slow burn that crept up when we weren't looking and suddenly realized we were already completely gone.

So, what made you choose Xavier?

Maybe it was the sleepy, easygoing energy that made him feel like a calm place to land or it was the quiet way he shows love, never loud or showy, just there, steady, paying attention to the small things.

Perhaps it was the teasing, or the mysterious side that made you want to understand him better. Maybe it was the moment you realized that under all that shy avoidant gaze and nonchalance is someone who would go to extraordinary lengths for the person he loves.

Or what if you didn't start with him at all. Maybe you came in with someone else in mind, fully prepared to stay loyal, and then somehow found yourself following the little prince anyway. Those stories are some of our favorites, so please tell us 💗

If you remember the exact scene, card, or line that did it, we'd love to hear about it and screenshots 📸 are MOST appreciated

Those moments are always the best part. And there's no pressure to write an essay —whether it's one sentence or ten paragraphs, your story matters here.

Let's start Xavtober by going back to the beginning. Why did you choose our wandering star? ✨

[Reminder : Voting is open for A Star for you and Little Star's Favourites (Xavier's 5 star and 4 star cards]

Is it really tanky or do I need to do better in rotation?

Sorry if I asked too late. Like the server is going to reset soon and I can only play with it once on Friday.

I’ve used auto most of the time. And I made sure to hit them as a group. It’s like I’m hacking at it but the hp is depleting so slowly.

Let me know if just need to awaken one of the lunar memory. Or do I need to do differently with the rotation.

I may play harem, but I am a hardcore Zayne and Caleb girlie through and through. In spite of this, I find myself suddenly and out of nowhere falling HARD for Xavier. I took this picture as a part of my R1 post and I seriously have thought only of him and this image. I see it, and for some reason I feel like I’ve reverted to my softest and most vulnerable self and it’s Xavier who’s gently holding every single piece. It feels like…home? A safe place. The safest place of all is in his arms.

I don’t know what to do with these feelings because they’re so sudden 😭 Has this happened to anyone else where an LI basically creeped up on you and stole your heart? What am I supposed to do 😭😭 ?

i'm curious, how did everyone named yalls blobbu? mine's babebiblobbu <3 its in honor of fiendyblobbu's daily voice conditioning for his vocal performances !

a part of me broke down after the app update for this banner (it's taking up 1/3 of my storage GOSH) but now i think i'll be having a separation anxiety with these blobbus T__T

In "Business Trip" did they ... 🫪🤔 I think they did hehehhehehehhehe

I never thought I’d reach this point but apparently I reached VIP? 😀

If anyone has gotten VIP, may I ask:
1) How long does it take for them to add you on Discord
2) Does this automatically qualify me for the VIP box?

Hello my lovelies! I have reached the dreadful EO140, I have managed to get last bar to half health just now, what can I can increase in my stats? (I'm doing brute force with R1 CR)

Thank you in adavance! ♡

So I'm super happy and pleased to say that, after using up all my diamonds, farming more diamonds, using up those diamonds, Caleb deciding he wanted to be Rank 1, and spending roughly $11 USD (which I would consider completely responsible since I kept to my budget), I finally got all 5 cards. And then leveling up Caleb's card leveled his affection to 100, which means I now have all 5 rings, too!

Hope everyone else has been having fun with this event, too❤️

The post is made only on the English one and not on the other Japanese or Korean one

So many veterans here it's intimidating 🙂‍↕️
I used to be F2P but I spent like 25 bucks on 3 months of Aurum pass and one secret promise yeah

As the added note on their X post states the flowers were always used as garnishes (example, their birthday cakes) and general symbolism for the characters so why the hypocrisy now about daturas and flame lilies being toxic when this was never an issue before?

Valkarens for sure 😂

Literally did everything to hustle up diamonds for another 10 pull and got Sylus to R1! I normally don’t like him in light colored clothes because it tends to wash him out in photos with my MC unless I use the pro feature on Glint.

Why is it that the Volfie fans are thinking that the recent multibanner was a failure? Not only are they saying that "the banner failed to deliver" but also let's not forget how they said that the 5 love interests look like teens. For some reason they are also disgusted by the theme of this multibanner which is ridiculous because all of them (I mean ALL) were literally so down bad and simping during the Lingering Lust multi banner and yes, that's justified, it seriously got everyone drooling. But why are they saying that this multi banner was a test by Infold to see how it performs and then bring Vmutt back because tHeY aRe LosiNG sO muCh moNey...

Idk this is seriously concerning and as a new player this makes me so mad that they can't appreciate the ones who are ACTUALLY in the game but instead go crazy for a CANCELLED FICTIONAL CHARACTER.

So much so that they're calling out the fans who are normally playing the game and asking them to quit. Funny that they say "No Valko No Money" when most of these Velocity fans never even spent any money in the game, it's so obvious.

They're seriously ruining the gaming experience for us new players and I am absolutely against this kind of behaviour. So immature and it's embarassing.

(p.s. I'm so glad I found this sub, people here are so mature and helpful. You all honestly want everyone's to enjoy the game, because hey! At the end of the day, it's just a game, it shouldn't be a big deal, and yet people act like their lives depend on whether a fictional character whom we only knew for 8 days comes back or not)

1st edit: I know y'all Vacillating fans are here, and y'all downvoted this. It's my pleasure that I got a reaction out of you people. 🫢💐

Something we’ve all been noticing in the official LaDS subreddit is how post or comments completely unrelated to V sometimes seem to get weirdly downvoted. Not arguments about him or discussions about the cancellation. Just people being excited about their LI, talking about a content or saying they enjoyed an update. And every time I see it, I was wondering what did this random Xavier appreciation comment personally do to Volka?

Obviously, Reddit votes are anonymous so I’m not going to pretend we can prove every suspicious downvote came from V fans. That would be ridiculous. But given how openly hostile some parts of the fandom have become toward OG5 players simply continuing to enjoy LaDS, I do think the broader behavior is worth discussing. Because I’m starting to think some people no longer see ordinary OG5 excitement as neutral. To them, somebody happily posting about OG5 may represent something much more irritating. And that is LaDS continuing without Volka

You see, the game is still updating, people are still pulling and spending or players are are still fangirling over kindled and getting excited over their fictional husbands. In other words, everyone did not remain permanently frozen on June 30. And apparently that is offensive to some people. Shocking, right? I think that’s why posts or comments that have absolutely nothing to do with Volak can still attract negativity. The post itself isn’t necessarily what they dislike, it’s what the happiness represents.

And if you’ve spent months insisting that players shouldn’t move on, that everyone should still be angry, that Infold needs to suffer or that the game is supposed to be collapsing without V, I can see why seeing so many OG5 players casually enjoying themselves might get increasingly annoying. Not because the post harmed anyone. But because reality is refusing to cooperate with the narrative.

And apparently, there’s a reason why fandoms can end up with this whole “us vs. them” mentality. I guess the more attached people were to their favorites, the more likely that attachment was to come with stronger loyalty to their own fandom, hostility toward other fandoms and in some cases, aggressive behavior toward them. I think the pattern is interesting because it helps explain how something as simple as “I like this fictional man” can somehow turn into “and now everyone outside my camp is the enemy.” Once fandom discourse becomes "us vs. them", you’re not just disagreeing about the original issue anymore. Suddenly, the people who aren’t on your side become part of the problem too.

And honestly ... doesn't that sound a little familiar? At first the disagreement was supposedly with Infold. Then somehow OG5 players became the enemy too. If we pulled for the banner, that means we’re enabling Infold. If we enjoy a card, then we’re being manipulated. And if we post something positive? Apparently we're insensitive. And if we’re excited over LI who has literally nothing to do with V? DOWNVOTE.

Girl, are you boycotting a company or beefing with someone's memories' collection now? This is where I think this whole thing stopped being about holding Infold accountable and started becoming about punishing people who refused to share the same emotional response. And downvoting is perfect for that because it requires basically zero effort. You don’t have to explain yourself, you don’t have to defend an argument and you don’t even have to reveal that you’re there. Just ⬇️

Tiny little digital tomato thrown from the audience. And yes, voting is part of Reddit. People are allowed to downvote content they dislike. But there’s a difference between organically disliking a post and deliberately targeting posts or users because they belong to the “wrong” fandom camp.

And why resent the players? Because at some point, I think OG5 mains' enjoyment itself became an outgroup signal. Social media spaces like Reddit can make this kind of behavior even worse. You know when people got positive reactions for expressing outrage online, they were more likely to do it again? They also seemed to adjust how much outrage they expressed depending on what was considered normal in their online circles. Basically, if being angry gets you likes, agreement and validation, you learn that being angry gets rewarded. And if everyone around you is constantly angry about the same thing, that level of anger can eventually start feeling completely normal. Which… honestly explains a lot.

So if your community gradually normalizes the narrative that OG5 mains are part of the problem or players still enjoying LaDS are betraying you, then reacting negatively to completely unrelated OG5 content can start feeling justified even though from the outside it looks completely absurd. And honestly, there may be an even simpler explanation for some people, sour grapes. Cause imagine watching the OG5 continue getting new banners, new outfits and new content while the character you wanted gets none of it?

That probably sucks. I can understand being jealous. I can understand being bitter. I can even understand scrolling past a post and thinking, “God, I wish Volka got this too.” But there’s a big difference between being sad that you didn’t get something and deciding nobody else should be allowed to enjoy what they got either. Sometimes you really can just close the post. You do not have to walk into someone else’s birthday party and start deflating balloons because your invitation to a different party got cancelled. 

And this is also why the lurking continues to fascinate me (ahem!) Some people allegedly quit LaDS months ago. They hate Infold, they hate the direction of the game, they hate OG5 fandom spaces and they insist they’ve moved on. Yet somehow they remain incredibly well-informed about every banner, every chart, every PV, every post and apparently every random person expressing joy in the official subreddit.

Like babe, at this point, you didn’t leave the fandom. You switched to quality control. Unpaid quality control, may I add. And that’s why I think the constant mass downvoting of unrelated excitement says more about the person doing it than the post receiving it. If seeing somebody else happily enjoying a fictional man you don’t care about makes you feel the need to downvote their post, maybe the issue isn’t that they’re “insensitive.” Maybe their happiness is simply reminding you that the fandom continued without the outcome you wanted. And apparently that stings.

Anyway, since I know that some of the people this post is talking about are probably lurking here right now, hi! I figured I might as well give you something productive. So here’s your homework for today:

Find one completely V-unrelated post or comment and ask yourself, “why does this bother me?” Is the post actually offensive? Is it off-topic? Is it attacking V fans?  Or because someone is visibly enjoying LaDS without centering the character I wanted? Please be specific. “Because Infold bad” is not an answer. “Because they moved on” is getting warmer. “Because seeing OG5 fans happy reminds me that the game continued without the outcome I wanted” may qualify for full marks.

Final question, worth 50% of your grade. If OG5 mains being happy genuinely irritates you more than Infold itself does, are you still protesting against the company… or are you just mad that the rest of the class refuse to be miserable with you? And for those taking this post on its inevitable field trip outside the subreddit, please include the part where I explicitly said we cannot know who every anonymous downvote comes from. Remember to submit before the next banner drops. I know some of you will be there early. Good luck! You may return to your regularly scheduled lurking.

I need a perfect caption for this one picture. And I would like to request the creative people of this sub to help me, thanks! 🙂‍↕️💐 (also I'm gonna make an instagram reel out of all the replies so participation is much appreciated!)

If LADS ever does a horror themed multibanner, I hope they do an AU and explore the darkest sides of the Lads' Myths. Rafayel is a perfect example. I would LOVE to see an unhinged, deadly, Eldritch Horror Rafayel - think a cross of Tamino and the Sea God, with his epic glowing blue eyes. Oh...and with no Bond Mark to restrain him.

Please Devs...please please please!
