#cyl 6

I’m realizing I didn’t post my Soren Propaganda on here 🤭🤭 I know it’s already over but I better see y’all next year for Cyl 7 😌

Bonus:

Or just, wholesome Bantu moments -

You know, this just might be the first time since... I wanna say the first CYL where the reactions to the midterm results have been mostly positive. Normally there's at least one character that people are upset is in the top spot, but this year it's pretty chill. And that is pretty much exactly how I feel. Yeah, F!Byleth is just whatever, but this seems to finally be Chrom's year, Seliph is a nice surprise, and adult Tiki- can we please keep her in the top 2? She has not gotten an alt since 2017, and good f*cking God we need to remind IS she exists!

Onto the other results (since I feel it's best to appreciate all the ranked spots, not just the top 2), Alfonse being in the top 10 makes me very happy. He's been steadily rising in the ranks over the years, really emphasizing how he's Heroes' best new character and has been gaining his own fanbase. If there's any OC I'm expecting to get an Ascended alt, it's him.

Speaking of OC's, other than Alfonse and Oni-chan McF*ckme, none of the other Heroes OC's are in the top 20, which is... odd. Normally, they tend to place somewhere in the top 20 to entice IS to release them soon, especially since CYL always starts a little after the newest book begins, so it's shocking that Ash, Elm, and Letizia aren't here. Actually, I'm more shocked that Fjorm and Laegjarn aren't in the top 20. Considering we just got done with a 6 part Tempest Trial focused on them, I was expecting them to be here on pure hype. Though I guess fans aren't rushing for them to get brave alts since they just introduced Ascended alts, or maybe the fanbase is as sick on them as I am (but that's for another day).

Onto a different source of joy, 3 TMS characters are in the top 20. I am really hoping that this will incentivize IS to release the remaining characters in their own banner. People forget that CYL isn't just about picking who gets a brave alt this year, it's about seeing who are the most requested characters that aren't currently in the game. It's a known cycle that characters that score high on CYL are more likely to be added to the game. Why else do you think we got a sh*t ton of Three Houses banners last year? Because those characters scored high on the last 2 CYL's and IS was just giving what fans asked for.

Anyway, I think that's about it. As I said, this is probably the most positive I've ever seen the fandom react to a CYL midterm and if the top results don't change by the end of this, I doubt there will be any complaints.

Just please keep Chrom in the top spots, I don't think I can take another year of the memes.

Well, that about wraps it up-

Wait.
