Trails of fire, you always knew

Ask blog for none other than the leader of Mad Burnish himself. This blog takes place after the events of Promare, so be wary for spoilers. This blog is NOT dead, I'm just in a rough patch, so it will be inactive awhile. Inbox: 8

Hey all. I've been meaning to say this for months now.

I'm sorry this blog has been so inactive. I haven't posted here since what, May? I deeply apologize.

Please allow me to explain myself.

Back in those days I was struggling for motivation. For a long time on this blog all I wanted to do was draw Lio and answer asks. But towards the end of May, quarantine had begun sapping me of energy, and I lost motivation to do much of anything creative, much less do stuff for this blog.

I've also since picked up new interests, and, have been occupying myself with those a lot. But don't get me wrong. Promare is still my favorite movie and I still LOVE Lio and them. Promare will always have a special place in my heart. I've just gotten into some new things and have been hyperfixating.

My artstyle has also since changed a lot since last posting here, and I also started using a new drawing software. If and when I start posting asks here again, they'll probably look very different from how they used to be, and...I apologize for that.

But the biggest of them all is, my mental health. Most of you probably don't know that I've been battling depression for years now. I've had ups and downs with it, but lately, I've been in a pretty bad funk. I've come close to doing things I'd regret, and I've been fairly sad a lot lately. I've been trying to get myself to draw every day to help, but sometimes it's overbearing. But I am trying.

Again, I'm horribly sorry how inactive I've become. I'm not here to announce, however, that this blog is dead. As long as I love Lio, this blog shalt not die.

I've just been distracted with many things lately and haven't really had my chances to answer asks, and I've been wanting to draw a lot of other things and haven't been focusing on Promare like I was when I founded this blog.

But I promise, eventually, I will come back. My inbox contents will be answered, and you guys will get to see our little burning fashionista again.

Please forgive me for this blog's hiatus. And please forgive me for the hiatus that will probably follow this message.

I don't even know if you guys have missed this blog. But I wish to give you all the benefit of the doubt. And even if you forgot about me in the...eight or so months this blog has been MIA, know that all of your support has meant so much to me, and I promise you guys will have your questions answered by Lio in the near future.

Thank you all.

And if any of you are interested in seeing me in a place where I'm more active, my art blog is @strink-family. I haven't posted Promare there in awhile, but...perhaps you still may find something you like?

Please forgive my self-promo. And I really do hope you understand my situation.

And I mean it. One day, I will return.

Through spark and flame, I will not let this blog be deactivated.

I promise.

Hey all. I know I've been dead for awhile, and...I'm sorry. I'll return as late as the summer and Lio will be answering asks again like usual.

In the meantime, I drew this of Lio, and I hope it can tie all of you over for now. I watched Promare again a couple days ago and I have been having lots of feelings.

Also, here's a speedpaint of said drawing in case anyone is interested in watching it.

Happy third anniversary to Promare!

Now that disasters have subsided, I'll try to return this summer. My humblest apologies, everyone.

Lio but ice powers instead of fire. Mad Freezish? ❄️

Additionally, my house was recently destroyed by a tornado, so I'm kinda dealing with the mental turmoil of that. I meant to return this summer, but it may be a bit longer.

I am so sorry. I do hope that, upon my eventual return, you all can still enjoy this blog.

Thank you so much, and I am sorry.

In the meantime, I drew this of Lio, and I hope it can tie all of you over for now. I watched Promare again a couple days ago and I have been having lots of feelings.

Also, here's a speedpaint of said drawing in case anyone is interested in watching it.

[asklliofotia]

Does Galo enjoy crime shows or are they like horror to him?

Lio: He also makes sure to not watch them around me all that much.

Lio: I appreciate that.

[asklliofotia]

*gives you a bejeweled necklace and earrings* Here. I see you love jewelry :)

Lio: Most of my jewelry were from Gueira, Meis, and Galo. And they all know my taste and know what sort of things I like.

Lio: But it's wonderful to receive jewelry from others. These are gorgeous. Thank you.

[asklliofotia]

have you ever tried makeup? i think you'd look fabulous.

Lio: I don't really like wearing makeup. It's always a pain to put on and take off. And I don't really know how to do it, either.

Lio: So I hope you like it.

[asklliofotia]

Really random, but do you think chestnuts taste good? What are your thoughts on chestnuts?

Lio: When chestnut time rolls around, I buy as many as I can. I love them so much.

Lio: I wish they were available more.

[asklliofotia]

One of the ways I got over being afraid of horror movies was looking up how they made the different effects. You can make blood and guts super easily! Another thing I found was to look up actors and see what else they were in movie or TV wise. Maybe that could help Galo out?

Lio: I'll tell him about that, and slowly it should get him a bit less afraid of those movies.

Lio: I love horror and want to be able to watch it with Galo. Thank you for helping me get closer!

[asklliofotia]

Happy June, Lio! Have a wonderful summer!

Lio: I love summer. It's always nice and warm.

Lio: I may not be able to go out to a beach, but I can still enjoy myself.

[asklliofotia]

MEIS! LIO STILL DOESN'T LIKE METAL! I THINK YOU NEED TO ASSUAGE HIM!!

Meis: ..."Tasteless" is a rather bold and labeled word.

Lio: We all have our own tastes in music. And I don't like metal. It's that simple.

[asklliofotia]

Imma hug the squishy man

Lio: ...uh, thanks for the hug?

[asklliofotia]

What's your favorite movie to watch alone? With Galo? With Gueira and Meis?

Lio: Slowly I've been trying to get Galo better with horror, which has not been easy. He's been begging to watch The Alienist with me, which is absolutely too far for him.

Lio: We've got a long way to go.

[asklliofotia]

Squishy man

Lio: ...I guess squishiness means nice warm hugs.

Lio: I like hugs...

[asklliofotia]

Imma squish you again

Lio: ...sigh.

[asklliofotia]

Lio you could be a freakin model. You'd look amazing on the cover of a magazine surrounded by flowers or something you're gorgeous.

Lio: I certainly wouldn't mind being on the cover of a magazine.
