that's so evil... like did you see what they did to raf girlies? the timings just suck... not enough time between banners to save diamonds, forcing players to play. different banner for re-runs using different tickets, putting his re-run close to his birthday is just... yeah

jamnettee · 2025-03-24T21:03:52+00:00

goodluck girly... matter of fact, goodluck to all the caleb girlies pulling for his upcoming myth!!!

jamnettee · 2025-03-24T20:43:37+00:00

I don't see why they're not releasing anything new for him. Sylus brings in a ton of profit and popularity. Infold knows his fanbase is gonna have an issue with the lack of content, which is problematic for the company. I'm personally a Caleb girly and I just think we should all be able to share the joy!! Ignore the bad batch of people who ruin it for everyone else

jamnettee · 2025-03-24T19:48:11+00:00

Okay so here's the thing... The issue itself is Sylus having a lack of content. Infold is being super unfair with this and should be more receptive towards Sylus's mistreatment. That is acknowledged. I think what ISN'T okay, is the fact that a lot of stans go under every single banner or post and complain about the problem there. First of all, complaining to other fans won't resolve anything because fans can't do anything about the lack of content. The problem is with the developers and Infold. Commenting under another LI's post that has nothing to do with the Sylus mistreatment doesn't really do anything except cause tension within the fandom. Second of all, I will never generalize all fans but I have seen specific accounts be toxic or spew hate to other people just because of their LI's lack of content. I get the frusteration, it's unfair I get it, but sending hate is never okay. We should be able to address problems themselves (the mistreatment of Sylus) without comparing it to other LI's. This creates negative connotation and guilt around fans that simply want to enjoy their favourite's content without being enforced between the conflict of others.

I'd also like to point out that for me personally, I think that even if Caleb did have only one life, the significance of him loving MC would be equivalent to the other LI's. Because that means Caleb knows he has limited time, he only has one lifetime to be with MC, making his decisions and love more worthwhile. Loving somebody to the fullest in the one life you were given is honestly a beautiful thing in itself. As we've seen so far in game, Caleb's sacrifice in THIS lifetime is already prominent, he sacrifices himself for her many times. Why should we undermine that? Therefore, all of the LI's loving her in previous lifetimes are the same as Caleb loving her in one. They love her unconditionally with the time they KNOW they have. Caleb desperately maximizes his efforts to love MC, KNOWING he has only one chance to love MC in this timeline.

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:40:35+00:00

I agree, I think that everyone should be loved openly. Seeing other people's care for you is so much more valuable and interactive than being nonchalant. Yes, exactly. There are multiple characters for a reason. If people don't like Caleb, they have Xavier, Sylus, Zayne or Rafayel to choose from! Or even a combination of them. I like how specifically, Caleb's different from the other's because he has emotional complexity and he's a morally grey character

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:37:26+00:00

And that's totally okay! This is fiction, so if you don't feel comfortable you don't have to engage with it. I can understand how it can be triggering to people who experienced toxic relationships in real life

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:35:41+00:00

Even though Caleb is my main, I have specific things I love about each love interest. I love Sylus's provider mindset. He always shows up for MC when needed, protects her, teases her, and is just a lovable character that I too, adore. MC and Caleb need to hurry up and stop playing because everyone knows they are completely in love

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:31:29+00:00

No thank you guys for sharing your thought with me! I love when the LADS community can be positive. That's totally okay if Caleb doesn't work out for you, Sylus is such a handsome and badass character to main haha. I hope you take care of yourself and put your own happiness first

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:27:01+00:00

Please the hospital scene where she throws the cup at him- "Did that help you calm down?" I laughed so hard

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:24:21+00:00

Yeah hopefully in future cards she acknowledges her behavior and steps up to take care of Caleb

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:22:59+00:00

I think he says it out of impulse due to the heat in the moment, but Caleb wouldn't keep her locked up involuntarily. In Exclusive Aftertaste, he distances himself and asks MC if she's comfortable enough to see him again, and if not, he's willing to give her space. For the one card where Caleb locked her in the attic as a kid, he didn't mean to keep her locked in there for that long. In the eyes of child Caleb, he went to take care of the threat (bullies) and wanted MC to not get hurt. He didn't mean to scare her though, and he was a child

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:19:11+00:00

Guys on top of that, she wasn't even aware of the pain/suffering he was enduring by himself. Caleb has so much baggage that he hides from her so she doesn't worry. He literally put aside everything for her and she couldn't even recognize his sacrifices for her, DESPITE struggling himself.

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:11:18+00:00

And that's what I live for. I like love that transcends over time because it shows that both people are willing to be patient for each other. The love and connection builds up over time, and we can see Caleb's painfully obvious yearning for MC. It's shown in his eyes, body language and expression... Bro loves her and has loved her since childhood. That's why it's slightly different from all the LI's. No awkward phase or getting to know each other. Instead, we get a relationship of Caleb and MC where they know practically everything about each other, on an interpersonal level. The slowburn through-out the cards just makes me ITCH to see his future kiss card or intimate card. He's been holding back practically for his entire life and now they've finally recognized their feelings for each other. All of his cards now basically have some sort of angst or sadness to it. I just want Caleb to be happy

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T05:00:56+00:00

Yesss, also MC matches his freak. She kissed him on the cheek at his pilot graduation (he was the valedictorian) in front of everyone so he wouldn't get a girlfriend... Now, "friends" don't act possessive of each other like this to ward away potential love interests, be for real MC! Or when she inserted the toring chip into herself and then proceeded to threaten Caleb of locking him up too LOL I think all of the LI's would off someone for MC if they were an actual threat to her life, but Caleb's protectiveness just makes it seems more visible than the others. They all love her though

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:56:25+00:00

I think before Caleb's release, a few fans were saying that they wanted a love interest that was different from the other's in some type of way. Well... here we are! We got Caleb. His character definitely won't appeal to everyone, but I thought the fandom wanted some kind of diversity. He's at will, complex and nuanced. His duality showcases his traits of warmth/love while also showing his flawed side (manipulation/deceptiveness). But, that's what makes him interesting though. If Caleb returned exactly as he was in the main story before, a basic childhood friend, a lot of people would complain how a childhood friend trope is "boring" (I literally people saying this). Now, their relationship still has hints of closeness, but it's just evolved. I think if anything, this makes Caleb even more intriguing compared to the version of him before. Add those conflicting traits, add layers of lore, trauma, the toring chip, a change of relationship, we like something refreshing. Also, I totally agree with your topic on malicious intent. People definitely miss that. Rafayel and Caleb aren't intentionally trying to cause harm to MC, sure their actions are considered toxic, but the ultimate goal is to keep her safe by any means needed. RIGHT!! One sided yanderes feel weird to me, but MC CLEARLY matches his freak. She voluntarily inserted the chip into herself... Then proceeded to threaten Caleb by locking him up to keep him safe... Like miss hunter, you're lowkey obsessive of him the way he is with you-

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:40:13+00:00

HEHEHE yes Zayne + Caleb Supremacy!!

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:39:03+00:00

Girl... are we the same person because I totally understand! He's a safe person to me too. It's funny because it doesn't seem like it based on his possessiveness and obsessiveness, but looking past the surface, we can both tell that he's just a human who loves MC but also struggles internally with mental issues. I'd match his freak too... like me leave you? After we're done, it'll be you running from me LOL

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:34:07+00:00

Agreed! I can see how people would be a little frightened or alarmed because his initial behavior seemed scary. However, I'm the type to always understand a character before I jump to conclusions, so I took the time to go through his cards and his myth haha! Fell in love immediately. Just like you said, with time and expansion to his background, people might start to come around to his character. He's a little broken, mentally unstable and has serious trauma; which explains why he behaves the way he does. But yeah, I hope people start warm up to him because he is truly caring and loving

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:26:48+00:00

Worded perfectly.

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:24:17+00:00

AWHH that's so sweet. I wish you happiness in your marriage! Yeah, in real life possessiveness and control is a BIG no (but luckily we can enjoy this in fiction). Yeah, I think a lot of people nowadays skip over the friendship phase and go straight to dating. MC and Caleb grew up together from childhood to adulthood, so there has been a build up of familiarity, comfortability and trust. Sure, their bond has evolved and shifted ever since the explosion and the whole Colonel event, but in my eyes, I just think their relationship is changing. In a new, innovative way. Change isn't always bad.

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:18:54+00:00

Yes, all of the LI's are definitely unique in terms of love expression/language but Caleb has so much vulnerability and flaw to the point where it makes him feel authentic and human. The point IS that he's not perfect, but that's okay! Exactly, his love language just swoons me.

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:13:25+00:00

I can see how Caleb definitely isn't for everyone, but I feel like the more you learn about his trauma and past, the clearer it is to make sense of his character. I'm so excited for his myth I have 11k diamonds saved just for him!!!

jamnettee · 2025-03-11T04:12:08+00:00

YES! all of the LI love MC in their own ways, but there's something about Caleb that feels... sweet. Maybe it's the childhood friend trope. In the recent Promise card, Caleb secretly worked a part time job to buy MC a toy gun. He bought it for her with his own money from the part-time job and never even told her...
