Real Lloromannic Hours Venting (and Voting)

before i lose your attention i am humbly asking that, if you don’t have a particular favorite sanrio character, make one of your 3 daily votes ENTRY 38 LLOROMANNIC

every year for the past 4 or so i have semi-religiously voted for lloromannic on the sanrio ranking polls (sometimes sb69, sometimes kuromi). i think they still get a good number of votes yearly but not enough to really make a dent?

like i legit remember being a kid, my melody on tv, and complaining i saw no merch anywhere of kuromi bc no one liked the edgy ones (turns out i saw no merch because she was brand new fresh release; 2005 JHFGJD) same thing with lloromannic- 2007

the thing is... lloromannic had a very unfortunate debut, i believe. being released in 2007 and then immediately thrown into my melody kirara, objetively the worst (and last) season might have sealed the deal.

and its just kinda weird you know, because even if they were associated with my melody, they are even more heavily associated with cinnamoroll, dare i say one of the biggest Sanrio characters, their main ace in the sleeve (its in the damn name, lloromannic lmao) so it just feels... OFF that a lot of cinnamoroll fans, the very least, dont know who lloromannic is :(

back to my merch dillema, i have hope that theres still occasional lloromannic merch in japan the issue is... its virtually impossible for me to find anything lmao. be it physically here or in online stores. i remember, a friend even suggested me a couple of stores that might carry lloromannic things and i immediately got barred from just browsing because they dont ship to where i am U_U

so thats how it is. for me, i doubt it will change even if they get a spike in popularity in this years rankings.

with that said, well, i really just want more people to acknowledge them. sanrio has a shitton of characters they dont really do anything with but i think these two are super cute with potential to be just as much of a fan favorite as kuromi was. their character information has always been pretty basic- kirara and the cinnamoroll twitter lets you infer JUST A TEENY LITTLE BIT more info about them. for example: Berry being a usamimi kamen (kamen shows in general) fan, or Cherry being a phone addict much in the same way as Retoree... little things that make my heart go :D. BUT YOU KNOW!! I BELIEVE!!! AND I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE TOO!! so even if you vote for them once and then your favorite every day thereafter ill be happy!!!!!

ive been planning since february to do some sort of campaign where i would try my best to do a daily drawing alongside the voting link, but even since then vi-me grega to plan it; quarantine, working for and writing for dissertation, as well as an article have me in a severe stress position and although i feel im always saying this i legit dont feel like i have free time anymore.

I also thought that the polls opened in may, not in april so well that caught me a bit by surprise didnnit. fdvjhbdfhbsdhj

i will try my best, but if at times i see i have to focus more on work then ill try not to beat myself too hard (because popularity and voting aside, doing a little something for characters i genuinely love just sounds like fun. yknow?)

ironically enough, gushing about them to my friends these past months without really putting campaigning effort seems to have already gained me a couple solidarity votes lol

i dont think i have much else to say... my tagline is pretty much gonna be “dont forget to vote for your favorites, of course if you dont have one consider lloromannic” because even like this i feel bad trying to force peoples hands i dunno jhbfdhbsj

i mean, how can you say no to these widdle faces?

EDIT:

the first time voting you have to fill out a form; it wont ask again and you can vote for other characters.

first section is your age.

next, your gender: 男性(male) or 女性(female) ; if you’re nb or prefer to not say, the option is 不明・その他

finally, it asks where you live. I think all the options might be japan prefectures (im unsure if it includes countries outside of jp), so i’m going a limb here and say that if you’re in japan, you can read these and choose accordingly haha. if not, your option is once again: 不明・その他

note that your vote wont count until you have filled this out!! your vote will be accepted when the character image appears again along a bunch of confetti, like so
