i think the chances are high at this point that the game is undergoing more extensive review by the ccp which is worrying for the future content of the game and potentially could mean older content getting changed/censored. this also unfortunately means whatever happens, it—

[BlackRose 🥀 | #BRINGVALKOBACK @BlackRoseWrts]

Come here, babies, gather 'round. Mama's gotta talk to you about something. ❤️

This time tomorrow is when, on a normal day, we'd start watching the feed for an expected announcement within the hour.

And since a lot of people (myself included) suspect we will hear something tomorrow, I wanted to help set some expectations and maybe hope to ease some nerves in advance.

First of all, I want to begin with: A LOT OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS NOT FACTUAL. IT IS SPECULATION AND EDUCATED GUESSES BASED ON ACTUAL PROVABLE INFORMATION WE'VE GOTTEN.

Please, by all means, feel free to fact check me or correct me, and if I've gotten something wrong, drop it in the comments. (Or if you can't comment, hit me up in SP, or have someone we're mutuals with DM me and I'll add you back).

Many of us feel that Infold will make a statement tomorrow. I go into why *I personally* think that's the case here (https://t.co/eNrx5Xv8Mu) but that's not really what I want to break down right now.

IF there is an announcement tomorrow, there's no real way of knowing what time. Midnight in China is 12pm EST / 9am PST in the US. Now I highly doubt they have something ready to fire right at midnight, but this is *technically* the earliest we could see something.

However, their last 2 notices went out at 2pm EST ("We're not canceling Valko"), which was 2am their time, and 8am EST (We're canceling Valko), which was 8pm their time.

So WHO really fucking knows. 😂

All this to say: WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME, so set your expectations accordingly there.

And while we're setting expectations, WE DON'T EVEN KNOW, if they WILL make a statement tomorrow. It's just highly speculated that they will, but that's not a guarantee.

In the event that they DO NOT make a statement tomorrow, that DOES NOT mean it's over.

There could still be a lot of reasons they go into the 9th without saying a word.

Like I mentioned above, we don't have any DEFINITIVE PROOF (emphasis on definitive), but we can make inferences that there may be legal things at play, due to the news that we have seen about police cracking down on the spread of misinformation and online harassment in China.

If Infold DOES NOT make any sort of statement, that then starts to become my suspicion: That they are still locked up in some legal battle that they are *legally* not allowed to discuss. It may not be that they are intentionally ignoring us, but that they literally cannot speak at the moment.

What that looks like for the 9th, I couldn't even begin to guess with confidence. I have ideas of how it could go, but I don't want to just put anything out there all willy-nilly, because that is how mis-information spreads, lmao.

There is ALSO the possibility that there are no legal issues at play here preventing them from speaking, and they are simply waiting for everyone to tire themselves out and move on. I personally feel this is the least likely reason for their silence, considering they are in a financial free-fall at the moment, but... this wouldn't be the first time they fucked something up, would it? LOL

And that is why, if they *don't* make a statement tomorrow, its important that we stick to the cause, we don't allow ourselves to falter, we support one another, 👏🏻WE IGNORE THOSE TRYING TO BAIT US AND MAKE US LOOK BAD👏🏻, and keep a careful watch on things, fact-checking and asking questions for context and clarification as we go along.

I don't want anyone to lose hope (I do still have hope), but I don't want anyone to be whiplashed into deep disappointment again either if the answer is still silence.

It's not over until it's over.

Remember there *are* positive signs.
* It's a fact that his videos have not been deleted. They are hidden on platforms that have that function, and still up public on platforms that don't.
* It's a fact that they released his song the day they canceled him on Spotify
*It's a fact that they released his song YESTERDAY to NetEase, a CN music service.
*It's a fact that they *are* losing money hand over fist right now since they announced his cancelation
*It's a fact that the Discord channel for Valko is still open
*It's a fact that they have been checking socials as evidenced by their logging on to view super topics on the CN platforms. (ie. they SEE us)

All of this to say that if they are silent tomorrow, WE ARE NOT DONE YET.

Take breaks.
Be there for each other.
Keep pushing until we've reached our goal.
I know you're tired. I am too, but this is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself.

They quite literally cannot be silent FOREVER. ❤️

Be well friends. ❤️

敖尹

Ao Yin seems like someone who believes that MC, his mate, should be involved in everything he does. He reads to me as someone who wants his partner to understand and be there for him not only for what he has, but also for what he lacks in. To truly know him at both his best and worst.

His lack of senses dawned on me when I noticed his hand was over MC's eyes. This was an invitation into how he perceives the world.

As everybody probably already knows by now, wolves see a narrower range of color than humans, they also have fewer taste buds compared to us so their sense of taste is comparatively weaker. But what they lose there, they gain elsewhere. They pick up movement and low light with striking sensitivity, their noses read the air in ways ours can’t, and their ears catch sounds far beyond human range. For a wolf, they had to adapt with what was handed to them. It’s what their survival depends on, finding prey, sensing danger, and reading or understanding the environment to keep their pack safe all rely on senses working together rather than sight carrying the load alone.

So when he says "human's have five senses, yet they sense such a narrow world", he may mean this in sight. Humans heavily lean on sight which can probably overtake the quieter senses like scent, hearing, taste, and touch. Blocking her eyes clears room for those other senses to surface, letting her feel the grass they lay on, his body's warmth, listen to his voice and the leaves rustling in wind, and smell the fresh air.

But overall, Ao Yin probably is just offering MC a chance to borrow his way of feeling the world for a moment.

-----
When Ao Yin comes back, I look forward to reading/watching this scene in full right away.

I am so curious if they explore more about senses or about hunting in this memory.

🐺 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨 𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐨, 𝐞𝐬 ú𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐲 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐫í𝐚 𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫 🐺

Sólo vengo a decir que, canónicamente, Valko sí o sí debe de mantener su aspecto físico actual y su personalidad

𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨 𝐟í𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐨:
Al ser principalmente carnívoro y cazador, su cuerpo está adaptado para la fuerza y la resistencia: sus músculos se desarrollan a partir de la actividad constante de perseguir, cazar y proteger. Su mandíbula es claramente más cuadrada que la de los demás chicos y sus dientes caninos están bien formados, lo que indica que los utiliza para desgarrar carne. Esto implica una mordida potente y una mayor tensión en los músculos de la mandíbula.

En cuanto a sus músculos y su velocidad, tomando en cuenta que es un líder de clan, debe tener mayor fortaleza para proteger y cuidar a la manada. Su cuerpo es su principal arma. Un cazador con mayor velocidad que un humano necesita un organismo preparado para esfuerzos intensos y continuos; al combinar una actividad física exigente con una dieta rica en proteína, es lógico que desarrolle una musculatura más marcada.

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝:
Valko puede mantenerse serio en ocasiones importantes, pero tiene un gran carisma y facilidad de palabra, lo que hace que sea fácil de acercarse a él y como CEO eso le ayuda muchísimo.

¿Por qué Valko es un chico de familia?

Existe el mito de que los lobos son animales solitarios, pero en realidad es muy común que vivan en grupos estables. Casi siempre se organizan en manadas, lo que hace que sea raro encontrarlos completamente solos. Esto los vuelve más unidos y fuertes: una manada y una familia pegada son mucho más poderosas que un individuo solitario. Por eso, Valko, como líder y miembro de una manada, encaja perfectamente como un chico de familia.

Valko es un personaje que con lo poco que ha demostrado, es sencillo de querer y seguro tiene mucho más que dar.

Haciendo que el diseño que sus creadores y desarrolladores crearon merezca una oportunidad. Te amamos Valko.

‼️VALKO ARMY‼️NEW DAY, NEW MISSION‼️(Please share)

It is truly ironic that those who approached him with prejudice and hate are now watching him go viral and become overwhelmingly loved instead. We have genuinely turned Valko into a global phenomenon. This is a huge achievement, and now it’s time to preserve and expand this positive narrative.

His name is still tainted in China and we most likely won't hear from Infold for a while still and in that time we are going to keep turning the tables around on them until returning our beloved wolf to us is the only thing that makes sense.

So… what’s the plan? We’re going to double down and become Valko’s PR powerhouse. It’s not enough to just spam “bring him back” with hashtags anymore. We need to put real focus on what he has come to represent.

❗NOTE: Everything below is just a guide to give you a reference and spark ideas & your own creativity! Let's lower the amount of empty comments and make more meaningful posts. Please still use all the relevant tags and use all social platforms! #Valko #JusticeForValko #恋与深空 #敖尹 #BringValkoBack #SaveValko #BringBackValko #LADSValkoReturn #GIVEUSVALKO #ValkoGlobalRelease
@Love_Deepspace

So without further ado, behold the 5 Pillars of Valko *holy howling sounds*

(Don't get overwhelmed, pick one pillar that speaks to you most and start there)

1️⃣Chinese Cultural heritage

Many CN girlies have been asking us over and over to do this to help them. By showing that we’re learning about Chinese heritage through the game and Valko, it will look very good to their government, especially if we post on both global platforms and XHS/Weibo. If you have Chinese sisters in your DMs or followers, ask them to help spread it. We need to reach China a little more.

Some Ideas:

🐺Topic idea 1: Share one positive thing you’ve learned about Chinese heritage or mythology (it can tie into Valko’s wolf motifs or LADS in general, just keep using his tags).

🐺Topic Idea 2: Use past events from the game to show appreciation (paper-cutting, Junxiu brocade balls, Luoyang palace lanterns, etc.).

🐺Post Valko’s face/image with warm, genuine questions directed at Chinese sisters to spark conversations.

🐺If you’re knowledgeable, make beginner-friendly educational posts.

🐺Art is always welcome.

2️⃣Respecting the Craft & Creative Freedom

Love and Deepspace owes its success to the development team working tirelessly behind the scenes. They create content so good that we’re crashing out every day over the thought of losing it.

Some Ideas:

🐺Topic Idea 1: Use previous interviews, articles, and behind-the-scenes content to highlight how hard they work. (It’s insane how many people are fine with that effort being thrown away, then expect the same level of motivation and quality for their favourite LI later.)

🐺Topic Idea 2: Mention how important Infold’s next move is. As one of the industry leaders, they’ll be setting a major precedent.

🐺Topic Idea 3: Creative risks should be celebrated, not punished! Anyone who knows LADS history knows the game would never exist if they hadn’t taken massive risks. They doubled down on their vision and turned a failing game into a global sensation.

3️⃣Unity

The way everyone banded together across countries has been genuinely beautiful. I’ve heard CN girls are really enjoying the trend of everyone welcoming Valko into their countries on Weibo, and it’s too valuable to let it fizzle out.

Some Ideas:

🐺Keep contributing to current international trends and try starting new ones (funny fake passport edits for him could be cute).

🐺Topic Idea 1: Talk about the friends you’ve made and communities you’ve come to appreciate.

🐺Topic Idea 2: This is also a good time to push back against people calling him “ugly” and talk about the lack of skin tone customization. Everyone deserves to feel represented.

🐺Keep expressing your gratitude towards the devs.

4️⃣A Stance Against Bullying. Love over Hate.

I think we can all agree that giving in to a massive wave of cyberbullying and rewarding that behaviour by meeting their demands was a true Inflop moment.

Some Ideas:

🐺Topic Idea: They made six love interests with completely different personalities for different types of players. Everyone deserves the companionship they need in this difficult life.

🐺Motivational angle: Letting people who spread malicious rumours, toxicity, silence others for enjoying something, and mail literal cow manure to headquarters win is not an option.

🐺I've already seen people bring charities into this and it's a brilliant idea. Promote or donate to charities in Valko’s name. Let’s turn the attention he received from hate into something kind instead.

5️⃣Chocolate!

Our boy loves chocolate, drinks chocolate awooo milk, and is 100% sweet. The companies below have interacted with fun posts before, and it would be amazing if any of them showed support for him!

How to approach them:

Make sure you follow them. Start with a public post, make it fun and light and eye catching. Then follow up with them in DM's and link the petition. (Big brands monitor mentions closely.) DO NOT MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A PROTEST. Makle Valko a big fan of their chocolate etc.

Go ahead and contact the following!
