The world of Love and Deepspace (LADS) is more than just thrilling Evolve battles and romantic dates; it’s also about the small, charming details that bring the characters to life, and nothing does this better than the unique in-game emojis. As of the latest game updates this December 2025, collecting these animated stickers—often called "emojis" by the community—has become a top priority for players looking to deepen their connection with the main love interests: Xavier, Zayne, and Rafayel. This comprehensive guide dives into the secrets of the text message system, detailing exactly how to unlock the full collection and enhance your interactions with the men of Linkon City.
The animated stickers are a core feature of the Companion Text Message system, allowing players to exchange cute, expressive reactions with their favorite characters. While many players focus on obtaining rare 5-Star Memories or progressing through the Deepspace Hunter narrative, these collectible emojis offer a delightful, permanent reward tied directly to your daily interactions, adding significant topical authority to your profile. They are a sign of a true LADS enthusiast.
Decoding the Love and Deepspace Emoji System
The emoji system in Love and Deepspace is cleverly integrated into the daily text messaging feature. Unlike standard emojis on platforms like Discord or Telegram, which fans have adapted into custom packs, the official in-game stickers are animated collectibles that are permanently unlocked once you select the correct dialogue option in a specific text message thread. These stickers are often themed around a mascot or a specific character's personality, giving them an extra layer of charm.
The development team at Infold has ensured that these small rewards encourage players to re-engage with the text messages, as some emojis can only be unlocked by revisiting older conversations and trying alternative replies. This mechanism is crucial for players who want to achieve 100% completion in their Companion profiles.
The Main Character Emojis and Their Mascots
Each of the main love interests—Xavier, Zayne, and Rafayel—has a unique mascot associated with their emoji set, reflecting their distinct personalities and roles within the game's narrative. Knowing these mascots is the first step to mastering the collection.
- Xavier (The Protagonist/Astral Hunter): His emojis are centered around the Galaxy Kid mascot. These stickers often depict space-themed or energetic, playful poses, reflecting his mysterious yet cheerful nature and his connection to the Deepspace.
- Dr. Zayne (The Cardiac Surgeon/Empath): Zayne’s stickers feature the Happy Snowman mascot. These emojis typically convey calm, thoughtful, or slightly reserved expressions, perfectly matching the cool, composed demeanor of the Empath.
- Rafayel (The Artist/Merfolk): Rafayel’s collection is represented by the Artsy Birb mascot. These stickers are often dramatic, pouting, or passionately expressive, capturing the turbulent yet affectionate soul of the Merfolk artist.
- Other Entities: Even side characters like Sylus (Grumpy Crow) and Caleb have their own unique animated emojis, which are sometimes unlocked during limited-time events or specific side stories, further expanding the collectible entity count.
The Complete Unlock Guide: Emojis by Text Message
Unlocking the official in-game stickers requires selecting a specific, non-obvious reply during a text message exchange. The key is to experiment with all available options, as the correct choice is often the one that elicits a unique, animated reaction from the character. Here are some of the most sought-after emojis and the text messages that unlock them.
Xavier’s Galaxy Kid Emojis (The Astral Hunter)
Xavier’s emojis, the Galaxy Kid set, are highly expressive. To unlock them, you must often choose the most curious or playful response, appealing to his adventurous side. The Evolve mechanic often ties into his story, but the emojis are purely text-based rewards.
- Galaxy Kid: ? (Question Mark): This is unlocked during a text message where Xavier asks about your day or a specific event. The key reply is usually one that expresses confusion or an overly dramatic "What are you talking about?" tone, prompting his questioning mascot sticker.
- Galaxy Kid: A Bummer: This sticker, showing a disappointed Galaxy Kid, can be unlocked by choosing a reply that expresses slight disappointment or a missed opportunity, making him feel a little sympathetic.
- Galaxy Kid: Proud: Look for text threads where you praise Xavier’s abilities or a recent accomplishment. The reply that shows the most enthusiastic support or a playful challenge is often the trigger for this proud sticker.
Zayne’s Happy Snowman Emojis (The Empath)
Zayne’s collection, the Happy Snowman set, requires a more measured or gentle approach. His text messages often revolve around his work as a cardiac surgeon, his research, or his quiet concern for the Protagonist. LSI keywords like "Empath" and "Memories" are central to his narrative.
- Happy Snowman: Analyze: This animated emoji is a classic. It’s typically unlocked in a conversation where Zayne is discussing a complex topic or a personal feeling. The correct reply is one that is overly logical or attempts to "analyze" the situation with him, which he finds endearing.
- Happy Snowman: Sleepy: Found in a text thread late at night or one where you mention being tired. The winning reply is usually a gentle suggestion for him to rest or a cute complaint about your own sleepiness, triggering his Sleepy Snowman reaction.
- Happy Snowman: Satisfied: This is often unlocked after a successful date or a shared meal mentioned in a text. A reply that expresses deep contentment or satisfaction with the moment will prompt the sticker.
Rafayel’s Artsy Birb Emojis (The Merfolk)
Rafayel’s Artsy Birb stickers are the most dramatic and emotional. As an artist, his text messages are often filled with passionate declarations, playful pouting, or deep musings on art and the ocean. To unlock his stickers, you must match his dramatic energy.
- Artsy Birb: Proud: This is a key collectible. It often appears in a conversation where Rafayel is showing off a new piece of art or discussing his progress. The best reply is one that is overwhelmingly complimentary, perhaps even a bit exaggerated, to fuel his artist’s ego.
- Artsy Birb: Pout: This sticker is unlocked when you playfully tease Rafayel or refuse a small request he makes in a text. Choosing a reply that makes him dramatically "suffer" will result in the Pout sticker.
- Artsy Birb: Kiss: This highly sought-after emoji is unlocked by choosing a very affectionate or romantic reply, often one that is slightly flirtatious, causing his Artsy Birb to send a kiss. This is a favorite among the otome game community.
Maximizing Your Emoji Collection and Topical Authority
Collecting all the Love and Deepspace emojis is a rewarding side quest that boosts your topical authority within the game's social ecosystem and with the community. Remember that the text messages are a finite resource, with players able to send Emojis (3 times/day) or poke a Companion character (10 times/day) to trigger additional conversations. To maximize your collection:
- Re-Engage Old Texts: The critical tip shared by the community is to revisit every single text message thread you have completed. Every time you get a new text, go back and try all the other available response options to see if they unlock a hidden sticker.
- Look for Event Emojis: Keep an eye on limited-time events, such as the recent "Heartbeats Ablaze" event, as they often introduce new, exclusive text message threads and corresponding collectible emojis/stickers that may not be available later.
- Community Resources: Use the LADS Wiki and Reddit communities. Fans often post complete lists of the text messages and the exact replies needed to unlock the animated stickers, saving you the hassle of trial and error.
Whether you’re a dedicated Deepspace Hunter, an admirer of the beautiful 3D graphics, or simply a fan of the romantic narrative, these adorable animated stickers are a must-have. They are the perfect way to express your feelings and show your dedication to Xavier, Zayne, and Rafayel, making your Companion interactions truly unique and memorable.
