Moan Louder Baby, I Can Still Hear The Intrusive Thoughts

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.

The Meaning Behind Their Names

Alright cuties, let’s talk about something CRUCIAL - the Love Interests’ names and how they are lowkey (highkey) hiding their lore in plain sight. Like, did you know? Their Chinese names aren’t just cool and mysterious - they’re basically spoilers with extra steps. Some of these names hit deeper than my sleep deprivation, and some of them make me wanna go “oh wow, that’s a bit tragic - anyways.” So, I did what any normal (unhinged) person would do: I broke them all down so you don’t have to. Are their English names doing them justice? Did the localization teams try to match their vibe, or did they just throw a dart at a list of cool names? 👀 Which LI’s name surprised you the most? Also, if we get a sixth LI in the future, what kind of name would you want them to have?

(His name is all about stars, fate, and returning cycles - which makes sense, because he straight-up created a time loop by traveling to the past, left his wife in the future, and is now romancing her past self like that’s not an emotional minefield. Sir, please just process your emotions normally.)

(Name literally translates to "grand and brilliant," but let’s be real - it’s just fancy talk for “Will burn your house down, but make it artistic.”)

(His name is all about dawn vs. darkness, deep vs. intense - so basically, he's in a constant internal battle between being cold and broody or the world's softest baby daddy. Sir, please just process your emotions normally - part 2.)

(He’s literally named after an ancient dynasty, which tracks, because he walks into every room like he owns it and has the energy of a man who casually sits on thrones for fun. He woke up and chose authority.)

(His name literally means “summer daylight” and radiates warmth … which is hilarious considering EVER basically turned him into a trauma-ridden Windows reboot with a robot arm. ✨ Delete System32 ✨)

We're not beating the accusations y'all 😭🤣

Edit: ashdjfkgkdjfssjajah

if you gatekeep a character and hate others because they ship themselves with them, i will immediately assume you're a minor or an adult with a peanut for a brain who never got out of their insecure mean girl high school phase and it's lowkey sad for you

Can we talk about the ✨Range ✨ of Rafayel’s VA for a moment?

Not sure if anyone feel the same way but Rafayel’s voice in the new event is so freaking fantastic. He’s a completely different person from our Raf in the main timeline

And he’s so fucking hot

And I just…. Can’t get enough of how amazing his EN VA is 😩

The way his VA brings out different versions of Rafayel to life and always delivers such a variety in his tones and emotions is just… Top-tier

His EN VA is my absolute favorite out of all the Li (alongside Sylus’s)

I make a video showing different versions of Rafayel here please just put on your earphones and listen to it. It’s so so amazing

He’s such a perfect embodiment of a Siren. I can’t get enough of his voice in every version of him
