Hello everyone! 😸I need your opinion on something, started coloring my Rafayel Dark Brotherhood Assassin, first I went with the iconic color scheme of the studded armor from skyrim. But then I remembered his Abysswalker skin, and changed the red parts of the armor to purple and now I dont know which one to pick, I personally like them both for different reasons. what do you guys think ?

Sylus is the kind of man who speaks volumes without raising his voice: composed; commanding; lethal in a suit.

And if he has a favorite genre of music?

It’s gotta be jazz.

But not just any jazz: noir, elegant, controlled... think vinyl crackle in a penthouse study, or low brass echoing through a dim lounge at midnight.

These playlists capture different sides of him: the alone-in-the-study vibe, where jazz is a private ritual of precision and control; the with-you-on-the-balcony moments, where the tension is intimate and unspoken, held in every quiet glance; and the danger-in-the-dark energy, where the room feels too small, and the air is thick with power, threat, and desire. It’s jazz that’s as composed and deliberate as Sylus himself... refined on the surface... with just enough heat simmering underneath to burn.

Like him, this isn’t music that demands attention: it draws you in.

It’s vinyl in the background of a man who always knows more than he says.

Ready to step into Sylus’s lounge?

🐦‍⬛ Alone in the Study

Whiskey in cut crystal. City skyline. Thinking of you.

📀 Overall Mood:

This is Sylus at his most private. Doors shut. Glass half full. Time slows to a crawl as the needle drops on a vintage record and the world disappears. No voices here... just pure, contemplative instrumentals. This is ritualized solitude, elegant and precise.

The jazz is cool, cerebral, and minimalist: perfect for his world of mahogany, glass, and deliberate stillness. Every note is intentional... just like him.

This isn’t for company - this is for control.

♞ For the version of him who’s always one move ahead.

🌃 With You On the Balcony

Touch is rare, but electric. He leans closer. The air barely moves.

🌙 Overall Mood:

This playlist captures the tension of nearness, where every glance lingers and silence carries weight. You’re alone together, somewhere high above the world - cool air, city lights, and not a single word wasted. His voice is quiet... the night is quieter.

This playlist leans into the intimacy of tension: moonlight, quiet breathing, a glass of wine between you. The jazz here is warm, intimate, and low-lit; full of soft vocals, brushed drums, and vintage romance that never feels cheesy. It’s not loud - it doesn’t need to be. Because with Sylus, closeness is earned slowly… and felt fully.

💋 For when the silence between you says everything.

🖤 Danger in the Dark

He’s not touching you… yet.

🥃 Overall Mood:

Think: Sylus in the shadows of his apartment, suit loosened, glass in hand. You’re not sure if he’s about to kiss you or interrogate you. The jazz here is noir, low-lit, and often slow - but never dull. It smolders; it’s restrained and deliberate - just like him.

This playlist is all low light and long shadows - the kind of music that plays when you're not sure if you're falling in love... or into something dangerous. It's jazz laced with tension: deliberate, composed, and unflinchingly seductive.

Every track is slow-burning and stylish, like Sylus himself: the kind of man who enters a room already knowing how things will end. It's the sound of velvet over steel, of quiet threats and quieter promises.

This isn't typical romance - it’s power wrapped in charm - and you can’t look away. Perfect for late nights, silk gloves, locked eyes... and conversations that mean more than they say.

🔪 For the version of him who leans in too close and never breaks eye contact.

without a shred of doubt the reason valko was immediately announced as "cancelled" by infold is because a bunch of toxic people (be it paid by a rival company or not, it doesn't matter, the damage is done) brought up the ISAIAH related world underneath where human experimentation is obviously shown NEGATIVELY, only now.

the fact that so many valko antis are bringing this up now and many even think it's related to him shows that a whole lot in this fandom lack reading comprehension or perhaps don't even know how to read. if you were invested in the lore instead of busy encouraging classist dick-measuring contests about which side spends more, you would've known better.

it's also the reason why majority of yall valko antis don't understand the myriad of consequences that come with scrapping a fully developed and perfected character and his lore. so you're telling us a literal male lead, the chairman of a tech company that deals with PROTOCORES has nothing to do with the story? can you not fathom how many senseless plotholes, how much unnecessary retconning of the other 5 love interests, the main story will end up with?

valko's team had been planning, designing, writing, acting, voicing him, etc etc for YEARS because it TAKES YEARS to do all that, especially for a game like love and deepspace which has such high quality graphics. and now you're trying to convince us they came up with him overnight and rushed him on a whim? you're only gaslighting yourself and it's just SAD ASF

and don't even get me started about the "why yall attached to him his trailer was released 5 days ago." do you not understand how stupid that sounds coming from anybody who actually plays or has played the game? specifically if you consider that the PRETTY MEN were marketed to us first, and then everything else? because it is an OTOME game?

i literally saw one meme. one MEME. of rafayel on pinterest and immediately began digging for more, here I am now. because that's how it's supposed to work. do you not remember the frenzy caused by sylus and caleb trailers? imagine if infold decided to scrap sylus entirely after posting his official teaser because of the leaks. or better yet if infold confirmed caleb wouldn't be returning from the explosion as a love interest like a week after posting his teaser in jan2025. IMAGINE😂🙏

tl;dr : infold's lack of communication dominoed all the way to this mess and valko is being dragged because a bunch of jaahil chudettes can't read.

Angel here goes over some of the things going on in China that might be affecting them that aren't just 'terminally online fans.'

In her community tab, she has also conveniently pre-written an email to send to them, and provided their emails.

And have a petition that's making waves!

I don't like having weaknesses, but I'm not afraid of them.

First. I was genuinely excited about Valko. Not because I already loved him. I didn’t even get the chance to

I was excited because my birthday is in July and I wanted to hear another LI sing me happy birthday. I wanted to see whether he texts with emojis or uses caps or not. I wanted to see how the fandom’s art of him would evolve as his story unfolded. I wanted to find out if I could love another LI the way I unexpectedly ended up loving Caleb

Maybe I would’ve. Maybe I wouldn’t. But I wanted the chance

I know people have all sorts of reasons for feeling the way they do, and I’m not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn’t like. But… I just can’t stand the atmosphere in this fandom lately. Every announcement feels like it immediately turns into panic, doomposting, or people deciding something is awful before it’s even had the chance to exist

For me, this game has never been politics. It’s my escape after a job I don’t enjoy. It’s my silly lil delusion. It’s the place where I’ve met some of the kindest people I know

Today I was outside powerwashing my terrace and caught myself wondering something~

Does Infold ever wish their audience would meet them halfway? Whether the developers ever wish we’d let a story breathe before deciding what it is?

Not by loving everything they make. Criticism is and should fine. But… maybe by giving new ideas a genuine chance before writing them off and calling them out on past mistakes?

I looked at Valko and saw imperfect teeth that somehow felt perfect. I thought he looked charming because he wasn’t polished into perfection. He looked worn. I was curious about who he could become. Curious about the story he had to tell me

Instead… much of what I saw was people calling him ugly and a thief before his story even had a chance to begin

I’m endlessly grateful this game came to the global audience. I really am. But sometimes… being part of this fandom feels like walking barefoot on a sword. It’s brought me some of my closest friends yet it can also be exhausting in ways I never expected

Sometimes I just want to step off that sword… and take Caleb with me

I think people underestimate how much joy there is in simply being curious. I wasn’t waiting for Valko to replace Caleb. I was excited to meet someone new. To discover his habits. To find out what made him him. That’s half the magic of otome games to me. Maybe I would’ve loved him. Maybe I would’ve shrugged and gone back to Caleb after a week (very likely). But… I’ll never know. And.. I was excited to find out

I just wanna visit Valko’s drawer at Infold hq and leave flowers… but I don’t even know his favorite ones. Guess Caleb and I will have to bring asiatic apple blossoms then.

I’ve carried Robert Frost’s nothing gold can stay with me for the past fifteen years. Today… for whatever reason it feels fitting

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.
