We're Not Beating The Accusations Y'all 😭🤣

Two and a half weeks to the birthday of our fishie... And even less till we get his PV!

*screams into the void* i’m dying to know what it will be!

Sorry Tamino, my little stray cat but I love that fishie more 🤭🥰

This was last year's trailer and card btw 🥰

PLEASE TAG PROPERLY

Hey LaDs fans/ Tumblr Users:

PLEASE STOP TAGGING YOUR POSTS FOR ALL THE LIs IF ITS ONLY ABOUT ONE (1) OF THEM!!!!

I love all of them but it makes finding content for less popular/ less talked about characters difficult (especially if there’s a solo banner/event for a LI)

I’m usually pretty non-confrontational, and it’s a losing battle atp to comment on every single post that’s doing this, so I’m just blocking people.

It’s extraordinarily frustrating and NOT the way tumblr posting works.

PLEASE DO BETTER. I don’t want to have to block LaDs creators, but this is basic etiquette on tumblr.

Not enough people talk about Rafayel's moles, its driving me insane

Since we get a new survey tomorrow, I’ll bring this list back:

Increase the amount of ascension crystals we get from bounty hunts or add more levels to each to get more materials

more ways to gain diamonds

increase diamond rewards in Deepspace Trials, especially the higher ones

make Illusio permanent

In fights start the timer with reaching the starting point and not earlier

not a multi-banner every month

More customizing options for our MC like diff. Hair colors in the main story and memories and more poses

roll out the microphone speaking option for global players

I would love to see interactions between the boys (we might have this in the new event?)

maximize the stamina we get by refreshing through diamonds

More voiced lines for Mc esp. in tender moments and memories

make a rest/nap/sleep function with the boys (with them having a sleeping animation) by setting a timer and letting them wake us up (if the last point is possible even)

A sorting and searching option for the friends list

Some interactions with friends, like seeing and liking their moment's post and such would be nice

Pls pls pls give us Rafayel in his merman form and some costumes with his scales visible (this maybe in the future also?)

more bond stories for all of them, e.g. They give the rings to MC

equal basic content like anecdotes/companions/20th-trial-phonecall for Sylus and Caleb or at least communication about the lack of it or why it is being held back/roadmap when it is planned

upcoming new hairstyles for the boys are included with the outfits, separating it for additional pulls is ridiculous and unnecessary greedy

make all snapshot poses from Rafayel and Caleb available in Glint

A place where we can revisit old event mini-games and their chibis

Add more kitty badges in the permanent shop. Many players reached the max at coins and can't do anything with it

Make time wishes permanent and not time-limited

Let us have a roadmap, at least when to expect story updates like you did with the 2.0 livestream

At entering the event page, don’t let the prologue start automatically. It’s unnerving to always need to watch when you only want to collect a login reward for example.

Animate the following scenes for Rafayel: him carrying MC bridal Style, a cuddly hug scene, the view of the glassdome in his bedroom

this is so unnecessarily funny to me lmao

I feel like that's such a basic headcanon but I CAN'T FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD FIND IT FOR THE LADS GUYS.

What do you guys think their music taste would be like ?

We know canonically that Sylus likes the organ and Xavier plays the piano for example but what about the others ? And also, does Xavier playing the piano means he likes classical music or was he just required to learn how to play since he's a prince ? Also Sea God Rafayel seems to play the flute, can canonically sing and his aunt is an opera singer but does that mean anything ? Does that influence his music taste at all ? I think I saw somewhere that Caleb plays the guitar but again, does that influence his music taste at all ? So many questions.

I personaly have a very diverse music taste (polyjamorous for those who know) although I do have a preference for Metal and Kpop so I was wondering what the guys' take on those would be.

Hi guys !

Just wanted to speak up for a bit about an issue I've seen on here. I won't give any names for obvious reasons, but I've seen users commissioning fics (asking for money against writing fics) and aside from the fact that it's against Tumblr's Policy, if you've been in fandoms since before 2020 you know why this is problematic for fandoms as a whole.

While asking for help is always okay to do if you're struggling, basically selling fics is not and if you don't know why (which is okay, the LADS fandom is fairly new and its fanbase as well so not everyone knows everything), let me explain it.

Fanfictions are and must remain free for the simple reason that, because it is based on existing licences to which we do not own the rights, profiting off of it is considered theft of intellectual property and breach of copyrights so it's, well, completely illegal.

The only reason companies are tolerating fanfictions' existence is BECAUSE it is free, it is a gift from a fan to their community. It is a work of love, not made for monetary gain but to share the love of a work with other fans of that work.

There have been instances of people trying to profit off of fanfics before, resulting in lawsuits that impacted the whole community of the fandom that it concerned (thinking about Anne Rice, Warner Bros, Patreon users being banned, the mature content purges on Fanfiction.net...).

The balance in fandom spaces is more fragile than we think, they are safe spaces because we created them with the same thought of protecting those spaces by respecting implicit rules of decorum, not profiting off of fics being one of those implicit rules.

We already know the original content of Love&Deepspace is heavily censored because of Chinese censorships and that Infold is greedy so imagine how they'd react if they knew people made money off of their work. It would not go well for anyone involved and the consequences for the community as a whole would be catastrophic.

Imagine if somehow this was the straw that breaks the camel's back and it brought some governments' attention on fanfiction, enough for them to make up laws to ban fanfiction altogether. No one wants that to happen. No one.

So please, if you happen to be one of those people and you're reading this. Don't be selfish. Think about the greater good. Don't ruin everyone else's safe place for your own personal gain. Thank you.

Me right now on day 58 waiting for my period to come after experiencing cramps and other pre-period symptoms for days on end :

I feel like shit 😊

Absolutely adorable 😭

cuddles with an eepy fishie (listen these things are fun to make ok)

Caleb x Reader

A/N: Okay, so, this is my first attempt at writing fics since I was 15, the first time sharing it since I was 14 and my first time writing reader insert so... Please be nice, but do tell me what you think, it will help me get better ! I started with something that's not very long, hope that's okay ! Also, as good as my english is, it's not my first language, so if it's yours and you notice a grammatical error, do tell me so I can rectify it ! Anyway, here goes nothing...

You couldn't sleep.

Since you had come back from Skyhaven, you had been conflicted, unable to detangle the mess that was your brain at the moment. On one hand, you felt happy that Caleb was alive and well, but on the other hand, you felt something was… off with him. Like he wasn't the Caleb you knew in your childhood, while somehow still behaving like him towards you. It unsettled you deeply, but afterall, he was still Caleb, wasn't he ? He still called you the same stupid nickname, still teased you endlessly and still made sure you were healthy and happy. So why then did it feel like he was different ?

You figured, if you couldn't sleep, might as well try and see if you could reassure yourself somehow. You knew Caleb was likely to still be awake at this time, probably just coming back home from completing his duties as the Fleet's Colonel. So you did the only thing you could think of. You reached for your phone on your bedside table, unplugged it and after looking through your contacts, you dialed Caleb's number, bringing your phone up to your ear and laying back down.

The phone rang. And rang. And rang.

Just as you were about to give up, finally Caleb answered, sounding out of breath, like he had run a marathon. "Pipsqueak ? Why are you calling me at this hour ? Everythin' okay ?"

For a second, you froze, still not used to hearing his voice again. For a second, you felt relieved. Then you remembered how a phone call works and that you actually needed to answer him, so you said in a hesitant voice, "Uh, yeah ! Sorry, I'm totally fine, don't worry. It's just that I couldn't sleep and I missed you, so…"

You heard him chuckle at the other end of the line, the sound making you smile. "Damn, Pips, how would you live without me ?"

You laughed at his teasing words before remembering the whole year you had no choice but to spend living without him, your laughter dying in your throat. Suddenly, you felt like you couldn't speak, your throat closing in on itself and your chest aching. You couldn't breathe. Caleb, who knew you so well, picked up on what was happening immediately and began to panic, cursing himself for joking about this so carelessly, "Shit, I'm sorry Pips, I shouldn't have- Damn it. Okay."

He calmed himself down before saying in a soothing voice, "Everything's fine, Pipsqueak. Breathe. I'm here now, I'm alive and I won't leave you ever again, okay ? Breathe with me."

Hearing those words, that your foggy brain took a minute to understand, you slowly began to calm down, your breathing evening out as you followed his lead. You focused on his breathing, breathing along with him.

In. Out. In. Out. Then you let out a long sigh, the tension lifting off your shoulders slowly.

"Thanks… I'm sorry about that, it's still a bit fresh. Maybe avoid joking about it until I've had the time to diggest you being alive and back for good ?" you said when you finally came back to your senses.

"Yep. Totally. What do you say I cook something special for you next time you visit as my way of saying sorry ?" he said. You could hear from his tone just how guilty he felt for being the cause of your torment. He reminded you of a guilty puppy, and the mental image it summoned in your mind lifted your spirit as you pictured a puppy Caleb looking up at you with shiny eyes, ears flat on his head as he pleaded for your forgiveness.

You let him feel guilty for a few seconds before you answered, "Sure, sounds like a plan !"

"Great ! It's settled then. You should sleep now, Pips, it's late and tomorrow's not your day off, is it ?" he said, and for a second you wondered how he knew that tomorrow wasn't your day off but you chose not to question it too much. Instead, you answered "You're right, although that applies for you too, Colonel."

You heard him laugh softly before he replied, " You don't need to worry about me, Pips. But yeah, I'll get to bed soon, don't worry. So… Good night then ?"

"Yeah, good night. Sleep well." you said before hanging up and letting out a sigh. You dropped your phone on your bedside table yet again before letting your arms rest in a cross on your mattress.

You wouldn't know what changed about Caleb anytime soon, but as you closed your eyes and felt sleep overcoming your body, you thought that maybe this new version of him wasn't so bad. Afterall, he couldn't be that different if he still cared that much about you, right ?

Right ?
