Cyril - Tumblr Posts
After buying a XXL shirt from Nike, it sounds like 245lb Cyril is going to try to lose some weight. Let’s see how long that lasts
I would be really interested in a Kamila route, but I'm already in love with Liora and Emeril...
Now that Lucien and Runa have finished their pilot seasons, it’s time to share your thoughts! :)
Take this short survey about Sweet Enchantments, and let us know what you thought! As this was a pilot series, your feedback will determine its future and continuation.
This survey will only be up for a few days, so don’t delay!
Okay, so I FINALLY manged to transfer my save data from Cinderella Contract to my new phone. And let me tell you, this game… HOO BOY, does this bring back memories…
Kay, so CC was the first otome and gacha game I ever played, from YEARS ago. I stopped when the phone it was installed on broke and because… it’s pretty terrible. The set up is interesting- you’re a translator who meets a bunch of hot royals that seem to come in pairs at a party. The next day you fly out to a kingdom of your choice, and some jackass in a position of power decides you’re so hot, he’s gonna marry you. Fortunately, one of the princes you met catches wind of this and saves you from this skeeve, but the only way he can do it (according to him because fuck logic) is by saying you’re already bethrothed to HIM. Stupid, but it’s an otome game- I didn’t come here expecting a plot. Thus starts the REAL selling point of the game- while you now have a binding contract to marry THIS guy, there’s another, usually better guy that you can choose instead by purposefully screwing up every interaction you have with your “fianceé”.
It sounds fun, right? It’s not. The guys in this game are ASSHOLES. They are verbally, and sometime even physically abusive. Dorian Gray would take one look at these fuckbois and say “damn bro, take it down a notch”. Most of what they do comes across as downright rapey, and the worst thing is, the player character just sits there and lets these assholes shit all over her. That’s a common theme in otome games- the female characters are spineless little bitches with less personality than soggy white bread. The only two guys that don’t make me vomit in rage and disgust are Yllishe (or however the fuck you spell his name- even the devs can’t seem to decide) and Maynard. Maynard is my baby, and here’s why.
That exchange up there is from the newst event (this game runs events nonstop and they are AWFUL. This has to be one of the WORST gachas ever made). Maynard, as you can see, is tall and adorable and rocks an eyepatch. That tiny, limp dicked fucker is his son, Cyril, the one you’re supposed to be marrying. Cyril is the most insufferable character I have ever encountered, period. He has NO redeeming qualities. He’s supposed to be a tsundere, but there’s no dere side to him at all. He’s a caustic, verbally abusive prick who’s constantly trying to compete with daddy and failing on every level. And yes, he is telling you, the player character who he’s supposed to be in love with, to shut up (Brynja was the name of my Awakening avatar). He always does that. I haven’t seen one conversation where he doesn’t snap at you to shut up. He’s a petty child who throws a fit when things don’t ho his way. Kawaii, amirite?
Now, Maynard is the only reason I actually play this game. He’s an example of a character done right, not just in a dating sim, but in general. He’s always thinking about his duties as the next king. He desperately wants to connect with his son, but has no idea how to go about doing that, and it torments him. He’s a tease and a flirt, but it never comes across as creepy and overbearing. My favorite event was a music themed one where he takes you to this beautiful grand piano in the castle… and tells you to play him something. PC-chan is all confused, like, “I thought YOU were gonna play ME something- you look like you can play instruments…” and Maynard’s just “Psh, I don’t know how to music.” All the little events make it clear that he’s so happy to be married to you and it’s fucking adorable. Also, did I mention the only reason his dipshit son wanted to marry you in the first place is because he thought that would move him up in the line of sucession? He hates his dad, who does nothing but try to love him, so much that he wants to screw him out of his birthright for sheer spite. Fuck that guy.
I played this pretty obsessively years ago (you had to- it is the most competitive game I’ve ever seen, fuck the arena in Heroes, that’s child’s play…), but I don’t think I’m gonna really bother this time around. I’m just gonna play Maynard’s stories in the events and fuck everything else. Especially Cyril.
SUSSS!!!! love the composition and colours so much, thanks for giving my boy so much attention 🩵🧡

Perception is reality, or so I’ve been told. [ But I’ve witnessed the divine, and my tongue still spills heresy ]
Something very important I need EVERYONE who visits my blog to be aware of is my absolute FAVORITE oc– Cyril. 😔
Cyril’s a 438-year-old shark-variant Siren who was revered as a young Deity until he committed terrible fish crimes and got himself thrown into an exile of 300 years (and counting)!
He says hi. 👋 🦈
