Actually I am one hundred percent sure it's her dad in the photo cuz she previously mentioned him during the whole aeon Fiasco and also from her explaining her backstory she said her father died from a heart attack because he had a divorce with his wife which cause him to have a heart attack due to heartbreak. Lightning Bliss probably blames herself for the divorce like a lot of children do during a divorce so that's probably is why she's mad.
Edit: I was not expecting this to get 12 comments and 90 likes
No one should have that burden on them for a long period of time. The healthy thing for anyone who is internally struggling with something like this is to have a conversation with someone and have a healthy cry about it and tell the person how you feel about it instead of keeping it inside of yourself. I know that from personal experiences. Always be honest about yourself and with others.
If that’s the case then why would she acting up about it right now? I thought she would’ve gotten over it by now. Is it possible that the aeon incident opened up an old wound?
@@nicke9012 it is very possible the indecent with aeon flared up this pain again. She said to elly that she can't lose someone again and this plays off the fact I think she blames herself for what happened to aeon because he chose to take that bullet so to speak for her.
@@purplefirekitty1 that’s a very good theory.
It could possibly be true and a good theory…
18:20 And this was the point the tears started for me 🥺 I don’t think this’ll be just about Bliss. While this is most likely about her missing her late father, Doc is still carrying some deep rooted pain himself from the the “Forever Young” magic lesson. They both need to talk some things out in order for them to heal.
You know something is wrong when Bliss isn’t working and I feel so bad for Twink. But fortunately she has lots of friends who care about her so this should end well…..I hope.
I do hope Little Lightning Bliss is alright
I think twinky needs a hug.
@@noahharristheawesomeyeah, I hope the villains of Equestria didn't ponynap her
Stay awesome, and keep bringing us joy
Thank you so much for your kind support!
Twink crying really got to me.
Also for those who are NOT aware of this, Voice of Reason can teleport because he's one of the creators of the Rift so has the ability to travel within it, even though he's an Earth Pony. Now that I think about it, the Rift has been around for 10 years, wow!
her rainbow had shattered.
My question? How many earth ponies are even in the rift/secret rift cafe?
@@iceluvndiva21 Oh between the two? Too many to count. The ones I know of (past and present) are Voice of Reason, Past Analysis, Antony C, Paleo, AnY, Heartsong, KP, Gibbon, Robin, Vector Brony (I think he got a door), NickyV, Puzzle Brony, Finn, Keychi, Canned Cream, Buc Brony.
I think I know what’s wrong. It’s about Bliss’ father who passed away when she was little. And she still misses him very much. That’s probably the reason why this miniseries is starting so close to Father’s Day. So she can make a sort of remembrance for her father.
That’s what I’m thinking too
My thoughts exactly!
That’s what I’m thinking too.👍🏾🌈
That's my guess too 🌈
Completely emotional especially with moments of her past. I love that Solar was worried for her. I also love the sound of the owls in the beginning of the video
My guess is: more friends will come forward with more clues. Goldenfox became aware of a "him" during the aftermath of his magic lesson, and Aeon knows that Bliss was asking about someone from the other side after she brought him back.
Also the one magic lesson with Casper Cake where Bliss broke down crying after switching on and off Blight mode with one word.
Oh, the "D" and "P" words.
-_-'
Casper _seriously_ needs to learn the difference between men and women... or... mares and stallions.
Are talking about her Dad?
@@greghanson2206 Eeyup. I'm pretty confident that's the issue.
@@ashmulholland7796 Well, Casper Cake is more of a frenemy than a friend, but you do bring up a valid point. And now I have a headcanon for how that conversation would go in my head.
“‘gasp’ Bliss has gone on a quest to find herself!”
_Hoo boy..._ Considering the intro acted like an _Ace Attorney_ opening, shit's about to get real.
Looking forward to Part Two.
I want to pet the dog. He is so fluffy!!
Ohhhh I really hope things will be okay.
My anxiety and worry are kicking into high gear.
If you need to talk, at all, then I can lend an ear.
im wondering if this has something to do with the revelation Aeon gave bliss about her alicorn from also im thinking when bliss was asking aeon if he met someone she was asking about her dad that could bring up some old forgotten and or pushed down feelings to or this could be something new 🤩🥰
this was amasing, and holymoly the walking animation and smol motions on things! very nice!
I believe this could be about Bliss's father
Actually I am one hundred percent sure it's her dad cuz she previously mentioned him during the whole aeon Fiasco and also from her explaining her backstory to Doc that one time her father in her Lore die from a heart attack because he had a divorce with his wife which cause him to have a heart attack due to heartbreak. Lightning Bliss probably blames herself for the divorce like a lot of children do during a divorce so that's probably is why she's mad.
3 things:
1) Hope Bliss is safe, wherever she is.
2) Dose Dr. Wolf have PTSD from that "Forever Young" magic lesson?
3) love that nod to CSI. Love that show!
i feel really bad for Twink, but at the same time, I'm loving the full walk cycle Doc has now
Dear lighting bliss you are awesome
I love your show ❤
You and me thunder rainbow both like rainbows happiness and joy
Man. I feel terrible for Twink and Bliss's friends. I do hope they find Lightning Bliss in part 2. Great video by the way!
Yes indeed we are going finding lightning bliss no matter what who's with me everyone
That orchestral music at the end really put a great emphasis on the direness of the circumstance.
Hoo boy, this sounds like it's going to be intense... LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!
Now I just wanna come and hug the fluffy rainbow monster!!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖
I'm a wall breaker, not a plot breaker... best line
Also, I hear a 8 bit version music of stamp on the ground
Wait… I think I’ve seen that broken picture frame before…
Yup I think it has something to do with something from the magic lesson with VoiceOfreason
What was that picture about?
@@andrewalker6050 Her father.
i hope they find bliss and the forever young reference and doc refusing to talk about it only further shows that sometimes even a therapist may need to talk to someone about their own issues no matter how painful.
Well this was certainly intense but also interesting, But I'm sure they'll find Blissy in part 2.
Everyone did a perfectly marvleous and astounding job putting this together make no mistake about it! Truly outstanding work guys!!!
Me: *worried* Lightning Bliss where are you? * presses Missing Alicorn Alert button*
i hope they will find her she looks so sad we all love u bliss
Ok, I'm going to point some things from this thumbnail alone.
"Missing Colors"... ok, obviously, we're going to see another side to Lightning Bliss that we've never seen before other than Thunder Blight. That's cool, I'm excited!
Also, broken object: either a broken picture frame or a broken mirror. I'm really hoping it's a broken picture frame because if so, this means that in said picture frame is a picture of Blissy with someone who has played a very important role in her life and has up and left her at some point in history; or maybe, it's a picture of a passed family member that had a bigger impact on Blissy in life; or MAYBE, and I'm really hoping this is NOT the case, maybe whoever is in this picture frame is an ex-friend that Blissy has considered dead to her and her entire livelihood that none of her current friends know about.
Like I said before, I'm really hoping that's not the case, but then again, this is Lightning Bliss, and I have no idea what to expect.
All in all, I'm excited about this, and I can't wait to see what Blissy has planned out for the lot of us! Hugs for the Blissy~
Actually I think I already know who it is and it's probably her dad because her dad died from a heart attack and she blames her self for his death
Are you sure about that
@@flamefalcon8140 maybe but we don’t know that yet
looking back at the video of Harmonycon, in the very beginning we see all the pictures that we see in this video, expect for ONE! The picture frame that's broken that once held the picture of Blissy as a filly being lifted up in the air by her dad. With Father's day tomorrow it's probably really hard for Bliss cause her dad is no longer with her and her brother anymore.
if u watched the entire video, you would know it was a picture frame referenced by voice of reason
This is gonna be Bliss'a most emotional journey, something for her friends to find out.
Well, my theories are wrong (oh well)
I'm now sad from the movie
Everyone has done so well and I wish you guys the best of luck and rest for this arc.
Sorry I had to drop off the premiere early..
TL;DR Currently out for the weekend.
I hope Thunder Blight doesn't come back to complete her revenge for a third time!😕🤤
Maybe it has deal with blissy's dad.
Given the day this is uploaded, I do remember seeing a picture of filly Bliss on her Deviantart some time ago. And then it hit me.
Great production!
Oh! And one more thing. When lightning bliss comes back to her channel. Tell her, “Rainbows, rainbows! Twinkie’s awake! Flap your wings and do a little shake!” Lol Man! I love that sunshine dance. Be sure to tell her when she gets back.
Thank you.
Hey there lightning bliss,
You don’t know me but I hope you’re doing okay…you bring such light to everyone around you and I hope you never forget that you have people who care about you deeply, myself included.
On another note, I look forward to part two of your video.
Take care 🌹
I hope you are alright Lightning Bliss. We don’t know what pain you might be going through, but I want to be the first one to tell you that God loves you and everyone. No matter who you all are. The Rainbow that is in your hair is one of many things that God created. Before it represented the Pride for others (BTW sorry if for some reason I make the 🏳️🌈 look bad for others so please forgive me for that), it was a promise from God saying he would not flood the planet again, because he loves us all and cares deeply for each and every one of us. And when I mean everyone, I mean every single one of us. And it’s like you always say Bliss, look for the Rainbows, they will make you smile…always. God bless you all.
Thanks but I'm spiritual. Also it's just a show. Enjoy.
@@lightning-bliss Your welcome.
@@lightning-bliss I hope that you'll have a great day, Lightning Bliss.
@@lightning-blisshey, could you make a mlp video movie with htf where celestia and luna after retiring miss being princesses and after traveling through equestria they look for and discover a secret city of obviously happy tree friends and that their king is the shadow king but his version good about the comics and that their friends are the characters of happy tree friends or but without their bloody acts you understand well if you want me to give you more information or summary and or images we will know through social networks I have Facebook and Instagram
The animation quality is improving ❤
This was awesome :> loving the new animation additions here, keep up the great work Bliss, can’t wait to see what happens next.
that little piece of music when she was holding the picture at the beginning i never forget that that was the jumpscare melody from new life in europe also known as island of the doomed
I wonder where this is going because bliss is always bringing us awesome story content and is super underrated
We need to get bliss more subs
This one was really beautiful and emotional well worth the wait. I am excited for part two. Also, I hope blissy gets found and everything is okay! ^_^
Sometimes, Bliss; I know EXACTLY how it feels to be in your position.
For sixteen of my thirty-seven years; people have called me horrible things like "screw-up," "lazy," "messy looking" and...a certain "R" word that would never fly today (be it in public or online.) Even today, I have moments where I feel like a burden to those I love; especially my family.
But my mother ALWAYS tells me that while I can't help with EVERYTHING, I'm there when people need me most...and that's how everypony/every creature sees YOU, Blissy.
Don't EVER forget that
The beautiful music at the end made me tear up a bit
GOOD CHAPTER AND HISTORY....I WAIT NEXT. GOOD JOB👍🏻. HELLO FROM MONTERREY MEXICO🤜🏻
Aww poor blitz and Dr Wolf, they might have hurtful feelings. I feel so sorry for them to be honest.
I love Dr wolfs new walking animation
Twink! Oh I just wanna give the Poor Boy a hug.😢
love the voice acting
I remember what that picture was in 16:00! Oh I think what's going to happen next is going to be terribly intense.
I won't spoil what was in the picture. Unless y'all ask.
Poor Bliss! But at least she has good friends that look out for her. I would like to give her a big hug!
It’s her father. He has passed away, Father’s Day is coming up, and Bliss is sad not knowing her place in the world without him guiding her.
How’s my aim?
A perfect bullseye!
oh no....PLEASE LET THIS END WELL!!!!😥😥😥😫😫😫
Wow, Bliss. I hope Dr Wolf and the others have luck finding you. 😞
So glad to see you still doing vids. i was worried for a little bit when there was a pause during when bliss brought back her friend cause it was so long since the last one in between. Your vids helped me through a hard time in my life and they still bring a smile when I need it. Thank you and your friends who put so much work into them.
I am watching this three days late.
Why you may now gind yourself asking.
Honestly?
Out of fear, I fear for the inevitable heart break I'm sure this series will cause me.
But im here to support it!
Edit: replaced the g with y in days.
I was right!
Gah.
I'm looking forward to this, but boy, I'm not looking forward to this XD
Mixed emotions be mixed.
In a good way thankfully.
Oh...
I think I just made a connection.
Bliss lost her father.
Doc either lost, or lost the opportunity to have children in some way.
Ohhh......
Boy.....
I think I realized how these two subjects are related.
Theory for Part 2: Maybe Solar, Chuggle, Voice and Eli talk to Lucid Dreams (Aeon's real name) since he's alive, he may know more about why Lightning Firetail Marshmellow Bliss is acting up. He did say he saw someone familiar to Blissy Boo, so maybe he'll tell them.
Prediction for the 3 parter: Bliss is acting up because of her birth dad passing away.
That was my first thought too once I went back to rewatch Voice’s magic lesson
@@brysonturner6019 Well, let's just hope I'm right with my prediction.
I have mu own theory I put in my own comment that sort of plays off some if the things you're talking about if you're interested.
@@knightrostark3052 Oh, ok.
I hope I don't get too many calls I want to enjoy this live
One last thing without you I will be not thunder rainbow in the first place
I made this picture by my self
I have a dark side in real life keep shining like rainbows all day long
Has one seen bliss ... i mean its not like her to disappear like .. - sighs - something tells me im gonna have to call in sherlock homes or the kid detective ... and i'll go look in the dark lands - sighs and picks up a staff - .. what ? We're you guys expecting a holy sword ?
Indeed Doc, right you are. Is something I feel compelled to say a lot.
I think Doc might something that will help stored away.
I still can't believe that issue from the lesson came back. I mean I am still left with questions myself. Doc was able to bring you back and yet Doc did seem heartbroken after. What more could there be? What more is there Bliss?
This is an amazing video. Really cool. You should be proud.
You.
Yes you.
Hi! You are worth it. You are amazing. You are extraordinary. And if anyone say anything different I'll kick them to the moon. Because they... They don't understand you. They are blind to see how amazing you are. How beautiful you are. They, deep down, are nothing compared to you. You are amazing, handsome, beautiful, and talented. You deserve the best of the best. And your friend and followers know that!!! I really hope things get better for you. Or if they are great then hopefully it stays that way. `The worlds not perfect. The worlds not kind. But if we have each other then we'll both be fine. I will be your follower and I'll hold your hand. I will always be there for you!` So do not fret. I will be hear if you want talk. Even read your messages. Then I will give you hugs and affection. I wish you well and stress-free days. `Hakuna matata it means no worries for the rest of your days. I wish you the best. Hakuna matata` You deserve the world. And more.
So please take care of yourself. Eat plenty of food, drink, and get some sleep. I know the roads can be difficult but I believe you can do it.
From hugs and affection to the stress-free days. I wish you the best. Hopefully this message helps you on the most difficult days. As well as your rainbow on rainy days. And let this be a reminder that someone cares about you. 😁♥️🥰
Hugs and affection for you!!!

Bruh, in the tavern scene, man was cut and paste. That had me laughing my butt off.
If I remember correctly that picture frame had little bliss and her birth father in it but it’s from memory. Though in all honesty I’d be as worried as the others are right now. I hope in the next part they find her and help fix things. Also yesterday was my parents wedding anniversary so hope everyone has a great Father’s Day today 🌸
OMG this was so good, looking forward to the next two parts
Well, Thunder Blight, if it's your games, you must be punished
0:41 POV its the last day of school forever
oh I hope your ok bliss
I think I have an idea, I think the picture of her as a filly and the stallion holding her might be her father, and I think her father passed away and blames herself for what happened.
This was so good! Excellent work!
this is the best series ever from her and all projects that she created seam to be linked greate job bliss
Very interesting part 1 can't wait to see what happens in part2
Looking good so far. Looking forward to part 2. X3
Also, your animation are still awesome as always.
Very well done animation, you did a great job with the story, and effects as well, it's wonderful to know the creative side of the fandom is still going strong after all these years, thank you for helping keep the spirit alive.
Oof😢😢😢 This went to the feels BIG TIME
So far (in my opinion) this has been the best-written and performed work from this channel. I'm looking forward to what happens next. Even if the next parts end up not being as interesting I'm interested in seeing where it's headed.
Wow, I'm interested in this animation! It turned out great on you and I like how this story is treated! 👏👏👏
This is so good. I can't wait to see what happens next😻.
wow i suddenly noticed the animations are so smooth as well as the lip sync.
great job on the animation!
Each video shows so much improvement. It's amazing.
Everyone seems to be really worried about Lightning Bliss. I do hope they can find her soon and unharmed.
I love dr. Wolf at 12:57
3:12
Oh!😮😮😮 Stepping on glass. I hate when that happens.
i have a super hunch know what that photo was add in the pieces we gotten and can say this going have the feels and touch on a topic even i am touchy on
Amazing job
Great animation and my guess for whats to come is lightning bliss is depressed fod someone she knew passing away
With any piece of media we tend to lose ourselves in the story and characters so much that it tends to make us confused between reality and fiction, in other words just cause the television says house hippos are real doesn’t mean it’s true, and with that I humbly apologize for any inappropriate comments I have made during the viewing of this video, one strike is one too many
An amazing video as always Bliss ❤
21:47 not stop crying 😭 bliss hope your ok
It's impressive how much the editing for the "Lightning Bliss Series" has improved. As an aside, I think I may have an idea as to what's going on, but I'm going to hold my tongue until part 2 to see how right or wrong I am.
I wanna hug lightning bliss so much!!
Welp.. ¤puts on detective cap¤ Looks like we got a case of a missing Skiddle Corn on our hands. ¤cracks neck¤ Until part 2 comes out the fans can start forming search parties. With more eyes looking someone might stumble across something.
Good luck everyone. The Blissy hunt is officially afoot.
But yeah. In all seriousness this video was amazing. The foreboding buildup at the start and the lip syncing and acting was just wonderful. Seeing new adventures from the Brony Analysis crew and in the rift always puts a smile on my face.^w^
Great job 👍
0:01 And now, our Feature Presentation.
I cant get over how some of the music reminds me of season five of T&F.
Love the walking animations.
Okay, the music choices are AMAZING. So much so I want a list of those tracks because the scenery worked AMAZINGLY done with the music. 10/10
As for the plot, I see where this is going.
The only cryptic message I'll leave for the commenters is this. 家族
WARNING: LONG COMMENT THAT BREAKS DOWN A THEORY
Alright, let's lay down the evidence. If anyone else has anything that I haven't mentioned, please let me know:
Voice's Magic Lesson: The picture frame is unblurred in that video and it shows an older pony lifting a young Bliss into the air.
Teaching Magic Lesson with Golden Fox: After messing up teaching Golden, Bliss said something along the lines of "It just goes to show I haven't learned enough. No thanks to HIM."
Forever Young: The word "Blissy Sis" was the key word that brought Lightning Bliss back to normal, and Bliss does not know this information. Plus, it was clear in that video and this one that SOMETHING about this experience has rattled Doc and brought up a painful topic for him. And Doc DID confirm in a video on his channel that this video touches on genuine feelings on his part.
Summoning a Demon: Bliss said she can't lose "someone ELSE" she cared about, and in the post credits scene of Part 2, she asked Aeon if he saw anyone on the other side. He said that he did come across someone that knew her, but couldn't remember anything else.
Combine all this evidence and the release date of this video (along with the IRL Blissy lore I've seen talked about in the comments) leads to one big theme: Fathers.
So, armed with that, I dug around a bit to see if there are any other videos where Bliss' family is mentioned. Since this video tells us Doc is going back to his office to check his notes from his convos with Lighting Bliss, I went back through her "Moments with Dr. Wolf" and I found the "Character Development Recap" video from back in 2019.
In that video, Doc found out Bliss' full name: "Lightning Firetail Marshmallow Bliss." Bliss explained what "Firetail" meant (a combination of her father and Bliss' maternal grandfather's name), but I find it interesting the video ends with her telling Doc she is happy that he did not ask her about the other part of her name, that being "Marshmellow." Doc vowed to Bliss in that video to never use her full name for personal gain. Sounds like setup to me!
So, if this storyline stretches back as far as "Character Development Recap," it sounds like Bliss has already had complicated feelings about her biological Dad for a long time (In "Character Development Recap" Bliss mentions having a stepdad.), and either her conversation with Aeon or something else entirely may have been a straw that broke the camel's back which caused her to lash out all the pent up feelings she's been having about him.
So, my predictions:
1. Solar, Chuggle, and the gang go around the Secret Rift and we get more flashbacks from Golden Fox and maybe more characters that show that this storyline has been in play for a long time.
2. Doc goes back to his office and has a flashback to "Character Development Recap" so we get up to date on Lightning's full name. Maybe Bliss told Doc more about her family off-screen that will help him connect the dots further. However, I think Doc will also be having a subplot of his own that follows up on "Forever Young." It seems like Doc has kept those feelings hidden from everyone, so perhaps him sharing them with Lighting will get her to open up herself. Also, I think we will finally get the payoff of Doc saying Bliss' full name again and learning where "Marshmallow" came from, which I suspect has something to do with her bio Dad.
3. Bliss' location: If Bliss' biological Dad is the source of this emotional sore spot, then it stands to reason Bliss has gone back to her hometown. Sometimes, you just need to go home. I remember watching a video about a famous baseball player Ken Griffey Jr. making a drive from Seattle to Florida after a particularly bad game late in his career. He told nobody this. Not his coaches, not his teammates, nobody. So, I could see her doing that here.
3a: I have a feeling the gang will track Bliss down to her hometown and once there we might see a redesigned version of her old background, which she only used for the first 8-9 episodes of "The Lightning Bliss Show" before transitioning to the first iteration of her channel dimension. Could easily be wrong about that specific fact, but given how much CONTINUITY [Insert Silver Quill here], this project is showcasing, I think it's not a bad guess.
4?: As for "Blissy Sis," I'm not quite sure how that all fits in. I don't think her bio Dad would have called Blissy that, though I would not rule it out. BUT, I did look through her channel history and found a cover of the BBBFF song that marked the first time she ever sang on her channel and in the description of that video she talks about how much she cares about her little brother (that's taller than her, hence Big brother) and that she misses him since he had to move away. So, perhaps Bliss' emotions about her family run deeper than just her bio Dad? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I'm reading TOO deep into this. In any case, it's clear that this storyline has been simmering for a while and so I wanted to reconstruct the breadcrumbs that got us here and perhaps get an idea of where this is all going.
If anyone else has any info that I missed, let me know. Can't wait for the next part, Bliss!
I like theirs a ballace of comedy and heart ache that right away everyone is pointing out the photo of filly bliss and her father which is going to play a huge role in part 2
Plus I'm sorry but chuggel did a homer simpson scream 😂 seeing if blissy was in the tree
I remember that photo and.... Oh no.... I think I know where this is going.....
I’m excited for part 2
