Hey Folks,
I figured it was about time that I gave an update on whatās been happening with my channel lately. For those who donāt admittedly follow, or are new, my videos have mainly been consistent with shorts, or meme vids featuring my OC Lightning Bliss, or her various other friends that are represented by real-life friends that work on my channel. However, itās normal for me to upload more than 10min long videos consistent with reviewing, or my Magic Lesson Series or even fun announcements or music videos. The reason why this hasnāt happened in the past few months however, has been due to a lot of recent tragedies that fell upon me and my family back on June 1st, as well as some of my team members having some major life changes that require time to adjust or move into. In regards to the ātragediesā Iām dealing with alongside my family, I donāt wish to go into details because they are disturbing for my audience. I can only tell you that while many know I have lost my stepfather back in Aug of 2023, I have also, as of June 1st, lost another close family member due to a tragic event, that again I canāt go into. [PLEASE DO NOT PRESSURE ME FOR DETAILS, THIS IS A PRIVATE MATTER]
Needless to say, the events that took place have left me with trauma, to the point that Iāve had to seek professional help in Therapy. Please rest assured that Iām being looked after and taken care of, and that Iām on the right path to healing, as is hopefully with the rest of my family. As to what will happen with my channel: It has been a source of catharsis for me to share my emotions, go on adventures and make fun entertainment for myself, my friends, and you the viewers, and I will continue to produce content so long as it remains an outlet for me. In other words, I have no intentions of stopping video making any time soon, although things have slowed down due to the recent tragic events, and to the circumstances of my colleagues that I cannot control. Until my colleagues are better settled, and Iām recovered enough, I will continue to make āShorts'' for my channel and hopefully keep to a schedule of uploading them every Saturday morning. I am still also the Lead Editor for DRWolfās TF2 Analysis Anarchy Series, and will continue to remain as such till Iām no longer needed or if the series ever ends. I also do have projects waiting to continue to be worked on, and hope to have them produced before this yearās out.
I just wanted to say, thank you all for taking the time to read this, and having so much patience with me during this time of unknown and emotional journey.
Thank you all and keep an eye out for those rainbows, they will make you smile,
Lightning Bliss ~

Hey folks, felt I needed to give an update on a few things.
I am doing a little better, but my grief still ways heavily with me. When you have a strong bond with your parents, that love can go so deep, that it's all the more difficult to heal from the loss when they pass. Sadly the world doesn't stop turning and work needs to be done to pay the bills. Which means I barely have enough time to process and reflect, but I try to. Please do not worry, I have a wonderful family, and amazing friends, and family friends, who are right here with me, helping me get through these troubled times. That being said, I do have some good news, and bad news.
To get the Bad News out of the way;
I sadly will not be doing a Christmas Special this year. For reasons I've said in the past, but I'll try to restate: due to all that's happened this year, with my stepdad's battle with cancer and inevitble loss, and the heavy impact it's left on me and my family; I've simply couldn't come up with a good idea for this year's Holiday event, let alone in good spirits. Making a Christmas Special now, would just not be in good taste with how I'm feeling during this current time. I was able to do a small Halloween special, which I appreciate to all the fans for enjoying; in the hopes to better shed some light on how real of an impact this loss has created for me. I do appreciate folks offering me ideas for a Christmas Special, but then you all would be missing the point of why I won't be doing one. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. You can give me ideas, but that doesn't mean I can do them in the state I am in. So if you've made it this far into my post, then I appreciate you not asking me to do a Holiday special at this time, but to please have patience that some time in the near future, I will be releasing content that I hope you all will enjoy.
Which now leads up to me sharing some good news!
I will be planning on premiering a special video this New Year's Eve, to showcase the future I have for my channel and where I plan to go with it. Of course there will be new Magic Lesson episodes being worked on in the future as well, but as always, those are going to take time. I am hoping to make a few reviews as well, including my thoughts on MLP Gen5 overall, and possibly my thoughts on some of the latest Godzilla movies, as well as a special Review that needs to get finished as well. I'm happy to say the audio for it is done, but now comes the part of putting it all together. This all will likely happen next year, but it will be slow going as I stated due to the grief I'm still trying to get through. But as you can see, my creative drive is far from being obsolte and I still have pleny of plans for the future of The Lightning Bliss Show and The Magic Lesson Series.
I thank all of you for reading, to all of you who have been supportive and not demanding, nor pressuring me, and I hope you all have a lovely holiday season. As always, keep an eye out for those rainbows, they will make you smile!

Happy Spooky Month everyone, I just wanted to make a quick announcement.
For those who are assuming that there will be commentaries for Magic Lesson: "Summoning a Demon Part 2" and Missing Colors Part 1 and 2, yes, there will be as such for those three videos. However, due to emotional reactions of Missing Colors Part 3, I decided we are NOT going to do a commentary for it. The reason for that is because, like many of you reacted in the comments and even the livechat, during the Premier for it, I was incredibly emotional, so much so that my roommates had to comfort me after the fact. As such, due to personal and private reasons, there will NOT be a commentary for Missing Colors Part 3. The other commentaries for Summoing a Demon Part 2, as well as Missing Colors Part 1 and 2, WILL have a commentary video, and are being worked on as I speak, but they will take time. Bear in mind that I am still grieving, and it may be longer before I feel recover if at all.
I would also like to clarify a question that's been going around. No...the Missing Colors series, was NOT planned around this terrible event of my step father's passing. Missing Colors was a series I was dedicating to the passing of my biological father, who we lost back August 9th, 2010. The loss troubled me and my family very much, as it was very abrupt and shocking, with very dramatic effects that were left on my mental health. I struggled with an unhealthy mindset for years after his passing, till finally I met some wonderful friends, gained new found confidence, and a need to share a story in a safe enviorment, even through magical pastel enquines heh. The series was a dedication to my father, and to me letting this bad mindset go, and learning to embrace those that are still with me. To be strong, but not afraid to lean on others for help, to no longer feel the need to prove myself to someone who isn't here anymore, as well as to be a source of inspiration for those who may have gone through something similiar.
To give closure, during the production of Part 3, my step father, a man who raised me since I was 15yrs old, was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, hence why the video's release was so late. No, this was never planned, and no it wasn't centered around him or his life struggles. It has just been a cruel and terrible coincidence, even more so...lossing him on the same day as my other father, 13yrs later. Sometimes life deals a harsh blow, and I'm no stranger to this, as I'm sure many others are. But despite it, I am moving forward, but it will take time before I'm fully back to my old self again, if at all.
Rest assure though, that my creative spirit has not died, and that I still have plenty of ideas I want to do in the future with my OC Lightning Bliss, and all my friends. Please have patience, be understanding, try not to pressure me into projects, and above all, be kind. Time is one of the best healers, but pressure can hurt those who are grieving. I thank you all for those who have been excerising this and giving me my time and space.
Thank you for reading. And as always, keep an eye out for those rainbows.

Hello all.
I'd just like to say thank you for the kind words and support, and for those especially who didn't pressure me to work while I grieve and gave me the proper space I needed. Grieving is a process that doesn't have a deadline or a date of when it will end, as it's different for everyone. Even now as I type this, I can admit that I still feel very raw and vulnerable from the loss of my step father. I am, however, have taken the next few steps to moving forward and carry on. I'm even happy to say that I have even continued my work for Missing Colors: Part 3.
I am HOPING to have it release some time in late September, but this can vary, depending on how things continue onward in my personal life, and other obligations to my family. I do kindly ask that folks do not pressure or demand from me on my progress in it however. I understand you are all excited to see the next parter, but it's going to take time, and patience. Considering that I'm still grieving on top of everything else, this is even more of the exception. But also, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, the wait will hopefully be worth it, as it is by far one of the longest videos I ever edited from scratch! So yes, it's going to take more time then usual.
Again, I thank you all for your support and patience, and wish me luck on it. I do look forward to when I'll be close to finishing, that I'll be releasing a trailer for it soon. Until then, thanks for reading.
Keep an eye out for those rainbows, just I will be too.

Hello everyone. I unfortunately have some bad news.
Iām not too good at sharing news of my personal life, but I mentioned previously that my stepfather has been battling stage 4 kidney cancer since March of this year. Well, sadly, as of this morning (Wednesday, August 9th, 2023) at 2:45am, he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
As stated before, progress on new artwork & videos will be significantly slower in order to give me time to grieve. I am still attending & vending at Everfree Northwest this weekend; in fact Iām currently en route as Iām writing this, and Iām thankfully in the good company of close friends. For those attending EFNW, all I ask is that you have patience with me as I will likely need to take frequent breaks to keep in contact with my family as well as care for my own mental health. I know the timing for all of this couldnāt have been poorer, but I still plan to keep up with my commitments & do my best to bring a smile to everyoneās faces as you all have done for me all these years.
I want to thank you all for sending me your kind words & support to me & my family. It goes without saying that this community has a big heart & Iām forever grateful to be a part of it. As I know all too well, though, sometimes we have to go through harsh thunderstorms in life. But give it time, and I know a rainbow will appear. I will be keeping an eye out for it. Thank you all.

Hey everyone. Apologies for the large message, but I wanted to give an important update.
For the past few months since March, my family and I have been helping to support & take care of my Step Dad (Dad), who unfortunately was diagnosed with advanced Kidney Cancer, and it has aggressively spread to his lower bone structure. Treatment had been very touch and go, and for a moment, we thought things would balance out, and he'd start to bounce back. However, due to recent updates, the doctors do not have much hope for his survival. As such, I felt now was the time to let you, as my fans, know and give reason for any sudden mood shifts or absences. It is very likely there will be a decline in my work ethic for future projects, while me and my family try to adjust to our new reality, whatever that may be.
Normally, I don't like sharing a lot of personal IRL stuff, but you all deserve an explanation if Im not as productive in my project/art output. It's not because of a lack of care or disinterest. It's simply because I and my family are taking time to adjust to the situation. Even though in certain cases my work can help me cope or grieve, you never know.
That being said, please understand that while my Missing Colors project is still in the works, it may be more delayed than usual.
For now, this is all the information I can give. I please ask that you respect my privacy, respect my family's privacy, but more than anything, I would appreciate any prayers, spells, meditations or good vibes sent our way to my family as well. I know you all have given so much support to me, and I do appreciate it, but if I can ask one thing from you all, it would be prayers. Thank you all for reading and for your patience and understanding, and wish us luck.

Hey folks! Glad everyone is enjoying my new Channel Arc special, "Missing Colors" Part 1. I know many of you are asking me, "Bliss, when are you going to release the next part?" Well due to the new standard of videos I'm creating these days, and the fact I have a team now, aka Team Starburst, working on assets, audio, and script editing to help make my series flow better, so that I may have all the time I can to edit and animate it, it takes a lot longer to create the videos I make these days. All I can say on the next release for Part 2, is that it'll likely be released in mid or late July. This will, however, vary due to how long it takes for other parts of this video to be put together. But to make this abudantly clear, IT CANNOT BE RUSHED! Quality takes time. I know patience can be hard, as I'm excited for the new release too, but please try to be patient. Thank you all for hearing me out! ^^
