How To Complete All Cuteness Crush Posters In Love And Deepspace

This month was a big one for photoshoot events in Love And Deepspace. Not only were we blessed with events for Sylus and Rafayel, but now, Zayne, too! OTTO-PHO, the ever-persistent Twinkle Photo Studio ambassador, has returned… again, and this time with a pet-themed photoshoot for you and your boo.

For this round of promotional posters, you and Zayne are tasked with creating fun, dynamic couples’ photos that showcase the cutest pets. While we won’t get to see said pets in our actual photoshoots, we do get to embody their spirits as we take fun and zany photos with our favorite doctor, Zayne.

The Cuteness Crush event will only run from 5:00 October 31 to 4:59 November 10, 2024. After the event period passes, you won’t be able to obtain any event-specific rewards, such as the Into The Woods photo frame or the Warm Snowflakes accessory.

Updated on November 05 by Eva Csaki: We’ve updated this guide to add the daily prompt for Poster six and a list of items you can use to complete it.

Cuteness Crush Photoshoots

Cuteness Crush is just one event in a series of recurring photoshoot events hosted by OTTO-PHO. OTTO-PHO returns frequently with new assignments for each of the love interests. Each event has a different theme and different rewards, but the general layout and objective is usually the same.

To complete the Cuteness Crush event, you must create seven dynamic couples’ photos to serve as posters for OTTO-PHO’s promotional event. Every day of the event, you are given prompts to guide your photoshoots.

Prompts can give valuable information about what items, poses, and stickers to use in your posters to get three-stars at the end of the shoot.

Some prompts are more helpful than others, though, and not every prompt will be straightforward.

Sometimes, you’ll be given an obvious clue as to what items to include. These obvious prompts might mention a shape or color, for instance. Other times, though, you’ll be given a prompt that asks you to capture a general feeling or idea, and that can get tricky.

Don’t sweat it, though! We’ve done the hard sleuthing for you and will update this guide every day with suggested items for each prompt.

How To Complete Photoshoots

Now, here comes the fun part! When you enter the event for the first time, you’ll get thrown straight into the first event cut scene. This first cut scene will introduce the overarching theme of the event photoshoot.

For this particular shoot, you and Zayne are tasked with creating fun photos that match the theme of ‘adorable pets.’ Every day, you will need to shoot a new poster image, using OTTO-PHO’s prompt as a reference point.

To start creating your posters, select the first empty poster slot you see. Poster photos will either be taken in Glint Studio or Snapshot.

You can only complete posters in order! A new poster unlocks every day, but unless you’ve already completed the previous poster once, you won’t be able to skip posters.

Once you’ve selected your poster and have entered the Snapshot or Studio screens, you can start using OTTO-PHO’s daily prompt to select items, poses, accessories, and outfits for your photo.

Glint Studio photos have more elements to consider and will usually require more complicated layouts and more items in your photo.

At the very end of the shoot, you’ll get to edit your photo. Don’t skip this step! Stickers are one of the best ways you can boost your score during a photoshoot, so load up on as many relevant stickers as you can think of.

Once you’ve taken all the shots you want to take, you can choose your favorite and submit it for review as your poster print.

Once you choose a photo for review, you can’t go back to any of the photos you took during that shoot. If you don’t like the photo you chose, or you don’t get as many stars as you hoped, you can choose to restart the shoot from scratch.

If you’re certain you want to use the photo you submitted for review, you can click the ‘print’ button below your photo frame. Printing a photo locks it in as that day’s published poster.

Posters submitted for review will be given a star rating. The best rating is three stars. You should aim to get three stars on all of your posters.

Event rewards are granted for hitting star thresholds, so if you want to earn all the rewards in the event, aim for at least 16 stars. You can earn a total of 21 stars over the course of the event.

If you end up wanting to redo your poster print, you can still go back, even after publishing your photo. Selecting the poster again will ask you if you want to replace it with a new photo and, given you select ‘continue,’ you can start the photoshoot all over again.

Keep in mind, though, that you only have 20 Printing Attempts per day. That means that you can only redo your photo shoots 20 times each day of the event.

How To Complete Every Poster

Every day has a different prompt, which means that not all posters are completed the same way. However, there are some general poster-creation tips that will help you with every poster. You may not have items or accessories that match the day’s prompt exactly, so it’s a good idea to employ these basic tips.

For starters, poster photoshoots that showcase Duo poses perform much better than shoots that only contain single characters. You can still technically earn three stars on single character shoots, but it’s more difficult. After all, this photoshoot is a couples’ shoot, so it’s best to stick to couples’ poses.

Choosing to use photos that only showcase a single character can work, but they’re more reliant upon certain outfits and accessories. Thus, if you own the right items, you can do well.

Another great way to ensure you’re squeezing the highest star value out of your shots is to go all out with your sticker usage. The more stickers, the merrier. Photoshoots with a higher sticker and accessory count perform better than bare-bones shoots.

If you ever need more stickers or accessories, remember you can always get more in the exchange shops or by spending Diamonds and Crystals in the regular shops. The Chocolate Shop is the best place for affordable photoshoot items.

Even though there are general tactics to employ in your shoots, you may want a more step-by-step walkthrough.

The following lists comprise the items that worked best for us when creating our three-star shoots but are not comprehensive. Everyone will have different items and accessories in their arsenal, so don’t forget to experiment with what you have.

There is no one size fits all approach to these shoots and there are thousands of combinations, if not more, that can work for your shoots, but if you’re looking for a few ideas for what to use, you’re in the right spot.

Poster One

The prompt for Poster One is: ‘Add a touch of vibrant Green to your pet-themed poster and bring it to life!’

This poster’s photoshoot is a Snapshot shoot and won’t have as many elements to consider as a Glint Studio photoshoot would.

The great thing about this prompt is that it’s one of the more straightforward prompt types you can get. To succeed in this shoot, try to incorporate as many green items as you can into your shoot. These can be accessories, outfits, stickers, and even backgrounds.

You can’t change the photo frame for Snapshot events, but you will earn the event-specific frame as a star progress reward.

When creating our posters, we had the best luck using the following items:

• Dark Elegance — Zayne’s outfit, earned as a reward for completing Deepspace Trials, Directional Orbit: Ice, stage 20.
• Mechacat Ears — A Seasonal Promise reward.
• Glistening Silver — Silver glasses, earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 30, Darling, with Zayne.
• Ink Spot — Black stud earrings bought at the Lunar Exchange store.
• Starry Dream — Player outfit.
• Jade Glasses — Fashionable glasses.
• Irregular Metal — Player earrings earned after reaching reward level 30 in Abyssal Chaos, Find Tobias.
• Pink Flower — Three pink flower stickers.
• Background: Sunny Corner — A backdrop of Linkon City, earned as a reward for completing photoshoot achievements.
• Filter: White — A generic photo filter available to all players.
• Charged — A photo sticker of a chat bubble with a lightning bolt and ‘+99’.
• Meowstival — Earned from the player’s birthday event. The event is triggered on your birthday!
• Shining Shades — Photo sticker of dark sunglasses.
• Zayne: Pinkish View — Zayne’s Duo pose bought in the Chocolate Shop.

Every few days, you can earn ten Diamonds just for sharing your Snapshots!

Poster Two

The prompt for Poster Two is: ‘Holding my breath, I click the shutter, capturing this moment just for us and the cute pets, as if it’s etched in time.’

Like Poster One, this photoshoot is a Wink Snapshot, which means you have fewer elements to worry about in your final photo.

Unfortunately, the prompt for this shoot is a little vague. When we took our photos, we instead aimed to focus on pet themes, which worked just as well!

This shoot was actually much easier to complete than Poster One, and we didn’t need to put stickers on all of our shots. We got away with four three-star poster photos that didn’t have any stickers on them, and one with stickers that performed just as well.

Here’s the list of items that worked well for us when creating our three-star posters for this shoot:

• Tortoiseshell Trend — Tortoiseshell glasses obtained from Into The Canvas: Reminiscence Blessing.
• Zayne: Face in Hands — Earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 18, Crush with Zayne.
• Zayne: Focused Gaze — Earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 48, Darling with Zayne.
• Gray Demeanor — Zayne’s casual outfit from the Linkon Doctor set.
• Rubber Duck — A silly duck hair clip earned from the Oracle of Stars event.
• Ink Spot — Black stud earrings bought at the Lunar Exchange store.
• Plated Heart Crate — Player outfit bought in the chocolate shop or earned from the Mountain Journey Event shop.
• Fuzzy Antlers — Earned as a reward for completing Deepspace Trials: Open Orbit, stage 30.
• Jade Glasses — Fashionable glasses.
• Pearl Earrings — Reward for completing reward level five in Find Tobias.
• Reindeer — A silly photo sticker of reindeer antlers and a red nose.
• Meowstival — Earned from the player’s birthday event. The event is triggered on your birthday!
• Swallow’s Return — A golden bird sticker earned as a reward from the Mountain Journey Event.

After completing this poster, you unlock the second Story Stage of the event. If you complete this poster and the previous one with three stars, you will also unlock the first progress reward from the rewards bar.

Poster Three

The prompt for Poster Three is: ‘Click, click! Capture the grand meeting between him and the little animals!’ This photoshoot is a Glint Studio photoshoot and will require more elements than a Snapshot shoot.

The prompt gives a helpful hint about what elements to use in this shoot. If you want to get three stars, aim to incorporate items that have animals on them or have animal-like qualities.

Here’s the list of items that worked well for us when creating our three-star posters for this shoot:

• Tortoiseshell Trend — Tortoiseshell glasses obtained from Into The Canvas: Reminiscence Blessing.
• Zayne: Face in Hands — Earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 18, Crush with Zayne.
• Reindeer — A silly photo sticker of reindeer antlers and a red nose.
• Meowstival — Earned from the player’s birthday event. The event is triggered on your birthday!
• Swallow’s Return — A golden bird sticker earned as a reward from the Mountain Journey Event.
• Mechacat Ears — A Seasonal Promise reward.
• Moonlit Drift — Photo sticker earned during the Mountain Journey Event.
• Lush Flutter — Player earrings earned for completing Find Tobias reward level five.
• White And Blue — Player outfit, earned from Event: Hunter Onboarding. The outfit has a little rabbit on the skirt.
• Prankster Tips — A bat wing headband, earned as an event reward.
• Midnight — Zayne’s traditional black outfit.

After completing this prompt and the prior two prompts with three stars, you will unlock the second event reward.

Poster Four

The prompt for Poster Four is: ‘Surrounded by little animals, he seems to be fine with looking even cuter on camera.’ Like Poster Three, this poster will be a Glint Studio photoshoot.

Since we’re not given an objective hint in the prompt, we tried to choose items that had a traditional ‘cuteness’ factor.

Here are the items that worked the best for us when getting three stars on our poster:

• Irregular Metal — Player earrings earned after reaching reward level 30 in Abyssal Chaos, Find Tobias.
• Zayne: Behind You — Zayne’s duo pose, earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 39, Darling.
• Autumn Breeze — Zayne’s special birthday outfit, bought in the event shop during Zayne’s birthday event.
• Snuggly Ears — Obtained as a pool reward during Heartstring Notes.
• Jade Glasses — Fashionable glasses.
• Fiery Entwine — Sylus’s earrings purchased from the Lunar Shop.
• White And Blue — Player outfit, earned from Event: Hunter Onboarding. The outfit has a little rabbit on the skirt.
• Mechacat Ears — A Seasonal Promise reward.
• Meowstival — Earned from the player’s birthday event. The event is triggered on your birthday!
• Swallow’s Return — A golden bird sticker earned as a reward from the Mountain Journey Event.
• Film Trace — General photo text sticker.

After completing this poster, you will be thrown directly into the third event story. If you complete this poster and the prior posters with three stars, you will also earn the third event reward.

Poster Five

The prompt for Poster Five is: ‘Head out into nature together and capture precious moments with those cute animals.’

‘Nature’ is a pretty straightforward hint for this Snapshot photoshoot. Try incorporating natural elements into your photo and sticker usage, like poses that showcase flowers, or natural backgrounds like parks or the ocean.

Here is a list of items that worked well for us when creating our three-star posters:

• Glistening Silver — Silver glasses, earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 30, Darling, with Zayne.
• Snuggly Ears — Obtained as a pool reward during Heartstring Notes.
• Jade Glasses — Fashionable glasses.
• Warm Snowflakes — Event headware earned as the third event reward.
• Gray Demeanor — Zayne’s casual outfit from the Linkon Doctor set.
• Zayne: Pinkish View — Zayne’s Duo pose bought in the Chocolate Shop.
• Starry Dream — Player outfit.
• Ink Spot — Black stud earrings bought at the Lunar Exchange store.
• Earside Sparkle — Player earrings earned for completing Find Tobias reward level 30.
• Felicity — Photo text sticker.
• Pink Flower — Three pink flower stickers.
• Swallow’s Return — A golden bird sticker earned as a reward from the Mountain Journey Event.
• Background: Azure Longing — An ocean scene background earned as a reward for completing photo achievements.
• This Way, Please — A sticker of an arrow drawn in crayon.

Poster Six

The prompt for Poster Six is: ‘Add snowflakes to your pet-themed poster and create a masterpiece with a unique atmosphere!’

We’re back at the Glint photobooth for the penultimate shoot of the event. Luckily, there is a pretty sweet snowy backdrop you can use in the Glint Photobooth, and it will help make your poster pictures pop. To buy the backdrop, head over to the Chocolate Shop.

Use the ‘Warm Snowflakes‘ headwear that you earned as the third event reward for a boost on your final poster rating.

Since the additional theme to this poster shoot is ‘snowflakes,’ try to incorporate snowflake stickers, snowy backgrounds, or wintry outfits into your shoot. The great news is that Zayne has several winter-themed outfits to choose from.

Pet-themed items will still work just as well.

Here are some items that worked well for us when making our three-star posters:

• General: Whisper In Ear — A general duo pose bought in the Chocolate Shop.
• Felicity — Photo text sticker.
• Background: Warm Winter Snow — Bought in the Chocolate Shop.
• Snowing Skyline — A sticker of Zayne dressed as a snowy seal. Obtained from the Sticker Pack: Happy in the Chocolate Shop.
• Daisy Bouquet — Sticker obtained from the Natural Sticker Pack in the Lunar Shop.
• Shadowfall Dusk — Zayne’s Dawnbreaker Coat earned from the Dawnbreaker Set.
• Starry Dream — Player outfit.
• Earside Sparkle — Player earrings earned for completing Find Tobias reward level 30.
• Ink Spot — Black stud earrings bought at the Lunar Exchange store.
• Glistening Silver — Silver glasses, earned after reaching Affinity Lv. 30, Darling, with Zayne.

After completing this poster and all others with three stars, you will unlock the final event reward.

Story Stages

While a new poster prompt will drop just about every event day, you will also unlock special story stages on certain days and after completing certain milestones. Each Snapshot event typically has four story stages to unlock and play through.

Here’s the schedule for when story stages drop during Cuteness Crush:

If you’re not feeling like putting the effort into getting three stars on your poster, you can always settle for a low star count just to trigger the next event story. You don’t need to have three stars on your poster to start the next story stage.

Cuteness Crush Rewards

As you accumulate stars in your photoshoots, you’ll notice your reward bar will fill up. After hitting certain star count milestones, you will earn special event rewards.

You can check your event progress at the bottom of the screen at any time.

Here is the breakdown of rewards for Cuteness Crush:

Concurrent Events

A few events are running at the same time as Cuteness Crush.

Heartstring Notes is a Wish Pool event running from October 30 to November 09, 2024. During the Wish Pool event, you have a higher chance of obtaining Zayne’s limited-time five-star memory, Zayne: Heartstring Notes.

If you’re earned the event memory, you may even recognize that the melody in Cuteness Crush’s main screen resembles the song that Zayne plays in Heartstring Notes.

There is also a ten-day sign-in event running. 10 Days With You runs from October 19 to November 06, 2024. Signing in for ten days during the event will give you one Empyrean Wish and 300 Diamonds, as well as Rafayel’s limited-time four-star memory, Rafayel: Glistening Hearts.

Event memories that can only be claimed once by signing in usually show up in the Wishing Well Exchange Shop after the event is over. If an event only provides one copy of a memory, there’s a high chance of it showing up in the shop.

The Seasonal Promise, Heartfelt Vow also runs during this time. Heartfelt Vow runs from September 09 to November 09, 2024. You can obtain Deepspace Wishes, Empyrean Wishes, special accessories, and the limited four-star memories Xavier: Winter’s Sun and Zayne: Dream Revisited during the event.

The four-star memories from the Seasonal Promise event are unlikely to return in the Wishing Well Exchange Shop.
