Hey... do you like Promare?

HI HEY HELLO!

Do you want to talk about Promare?

Did you just join the fandom to find out it's pretty much dead?

Are you tired of talking to the creepy man on the wall about your hyperfixation? Well I have the place for you!

Me and my friend created a Promare based discord server! Where you can talk about pretty much whatever you want! (that has to do with Promare, of course) It has everything you could possibly want! Theories, headcannons, ALL OF THAT JUICY AND DELICIOUS STUFF!

Of course, the server is brand new, and we don't have a lot of people, ha-ha. BUT if that sounds interesting to you, then why not join? If you like it, tell your friends!

WELCOME TO PROMARE PROPAGANDA

Indoctrinate.

As someone with Fibro, while I'm not fully surprised but wonder why hasn't anyone made more connections of the Promare being a stand-in for disability

The "flare-up" joke is RIGHT THERE

i do think galo is just Masc and he would be masc whatever situation he was living in, i don’t think he was forcing himself to be masc when he’d rather be fem or something personally, he’s very much a masc4fem guy, but i think just due to the world he lived in galo LIKELY felt somewhat pressured within his presentation and he’s forced to use being typically read as gender conforming to keep himself safe and closeted (not deeply closeted imo just, low level not sharing it and not wanting to experience bullshit). but galos masculinity the context of his relationship w lio, galo’s gayness, it’s so drenched in his sexuality. hypermasculinity was i think a good word choice from that replier bcuz it evokes the ‘it’s so into masculinity it starts reading as Really gay’. and ofc his character as my bf said the other day is ‘masc trans guy to a T’

aina on the other hand i think requires a lot more playing within the scraps of narrative and ultimately just headcanons to choose what u want her deal to be bcuz her femininity doesn’t necessarily exist the same way w the same reasons in the narrative that galos masculinity does. trigger misogyny so in The Movie her character doesn’t rly exist much outside of what she represents to galo (tho ofc she has a lot going on u can pick up anyway).. when the implication is she doesn’t feel super psyched to be stuck in a situation like the lake scene w him either… personally i do find that a really interesting parallel could’ve made her attracted to women and closeted or not super aware of it like galo is attracted to men- giving her something to strongly relate to galo about feeling pressured to conform to this typical action movie romance (tho they don’t know that cuz they’re Characters in a Narrative) whether either of them recognize it or not. it wouldn’t have taken much to throw that in somewhere and recontextualize her a little. and then of course she is a trans woman as galo is a trans man. i don’t necessarily think she reads as hyper feminine she just seems like she’s meant by trigger to be A Woman, though on some level her being a relatively feminine woman probably was a thought w her bcuz the only character we see galo attracted to in the canon of the movie is lio a more feminine man so my instinct was that galo’s more into gender nonconformity..

anyway my tldr here is that when trigger paralleled aina w galo and then galo and lio r gay guys there’s some rly obvious tracks to take with her too

[aretheyqueer]

Is he gay?

disclaimer: this is a hc, not speculating on what the writers intentions were.

Promare has recently consumed my life, so have some Promare character headcanons.

I think that Galo and Lio were actually born in the same year, with Lio only being a couple months older. They're both in their early twenties. Like, very early twenties. Just barely out of high school kind of early.

Galo and Lio are both orphans. Lio has been on the run since his Burnish awakening as a kid. He doesn't remember it very well, but he does remember his parents were wealthy, and impressed upon him the importance of appearances and propriety. He knows his parents died, but he doesn't remember the details of it. Since Lio went off the grid so young, he never got much in the way of a formal education. Lio is sharply intelligent, but he always draws a blank at school-related knowledge like math, history, science, etc. That sort of stuff is actually pretty boring to him. Lio does like to read, though, and has a surprisingly expansive vocabulary given his lack of a formal education.

Galo was raised in the foster system. He doesn't know what happened to his parents, but he never really cared to figure out. It was never something that really mattered to him. He was happy enough with his various foster families, and was lucky enough to have pretty good foster families all things considered. But all this does mean that Galo never really had much in the way of family. Galo also has a couple of learning disabilities, like ADHD and dyslexia, which made school more than a bit of a nightmare for him. He was held back a year in school before inevitably dropping out. Not too long after that, he entered into the firefighting academy, where Kray promptly placed him in Burning Rescue, despite having next to no former experience and very little training. By the time we see him in the movie, he's been working with Burning Rescue for a little under a year. He's the youngest member of Burning Rescue, with Lucia being only a year older than him, and Aina being two years older than him.

Galo and Lio are both hopeless in all areas of pop culture knowledge.

Lio is pansexual while Galo is gay.

Aina and Heris lost their parents when they were in their teens. Heris is about 7 years older than Aina, so when their parents passed away while Aina was still in high school, Heris stepped up to take care of her. They're the two most important people in the world to each other, as well as the only family they have left, so they cling to each other like no one else. Heris especially clings to Aina more than Aina clings to Heris. Aina was able to find family in Burning Rescue while Aina is all that Heris has left, and she would happily watch the world burn if it meant that she could still have Aina at the end of it all. There is a bit of a codependency issue between the two of them, an issue that Aina is slowly but surely growing out of, due to finding love and support in the other Burning Rescue members.

Aina was definitely a troubled, rebellious teenager. She listens to grunge and rock music and got into plenty of fistfights during her time in school. You cannot tell me this girl didn't have a punk phase in highschool. She gives Galo shit for not knowing when to hold his tongue, but she has just as much of a problem with talking back to authority figures if she thinks something is wrong.

Lucia has experience in coding and has a degree in engineering.

Remi is definitely a vegan. He's also half Malaysian, as well as trilingual. Galo calls him "blind" to tease him for how bad his vision is without his glasses.

Varys grew up in a big family with a small army of younger siblings that he helped his parents take care of. He's a seasoned caretaker, and by far the best babysitter. He's also an amazing cook.

Lio loves spicy food and could probably bite into a ghost pepper without breaking a sweat, while Galo has an almost pitiably weak heat tolerance and can barely stand too much pepper in his eggs.

Meis and Gueira are in their early thirties. They met up with Lio a couple years before the events of the movie, and Meis and Gueira have been with each other for basically their whole lives.

[vampir3b0yx3]

Just watched Promare (anime) and was thinking about how when the Burnish die they turn to ash. And bc I am completely hyperfixated on Ninjago rn I was thinking about what if (this probably doesn’t align with canon) that happened to elementals depending on their element? Fire elementals turn to ash, ice ones freeze, electricity ones also turn to ash, earth elementals’ bodies break down faster and tend to have more flora grow from them.

Forgot to draw water but basically when someone dies it looks like if they died from their elements causes (burned, drowned, etc.) I don’t really know about wind because you can’t really die from the wind lmao but 👍

Promare fandom ( if you all aren't dead yet)

If Lio and Galo did the trauma candy bowl trend, how do you think it would go? I wanna hear 👀

I'll go first:

Galo: Hey, Galo here! My childhood idol is some sociopathic, genocidal maniac. Who tried to get rid of me for years! The only reason he told the truth about my house fire was because he was literally about to kill me. ***LONG PAUSE*** and I brought nerds.

Lio: Hi, I'm Lio, and I had to hear the sounds of my people dying painfully due to said sociopathic, genocidal maniac... he also tried to kill me too, and I brought gummy worms.

[marumeri]

I head cannoned about Lio’s old I think Lio is over 20 year’s old so, he is getting older than galo(20)  so,  I draw quick doodles about Lio drunk bear 

[dreaming-shark]

Assorted Promare headcanons:

Mad Burnish and Burning Rescue centered.

Gueira and Meis are basically a committed couple and have been for years, but both of them have trauma around commitment and get really uncomfortable with any label for their relationship that's more serious than "friends with benefits."

They don't have last names, so post-movie they use the name of the city where they awakened as their last names when they need to have an "official" last name.

That's relatively common for the Burnish if they got disowned by their families. After all, who wants to be stuck with a name that ties you to people who screwed you over when you needed them the most?

(The settlement also has a Philadelphia, a Chicago, three NYCs, and the Toledo twins.)

Ignis's dislike for Vulcan is because Vulcan's actions got a former member of Burning Rescue killed, and he didn't have any real consequences for it.

Varys has two older sisters and a younger brother he's very close to, and the Truss family has a monthly get-together where Varys is the jungle gym for his nieces and nephews.

Aina is extremely conflicted over what her sister did. Heris did the right thing in the end, and she's genuinely trying to make up for the wrongs she committed before. But they were some big wrongs.

Lucia interned at the Foresight Foundation during college, and came to hate corporations so much she changed her entire career trajectory.

The "Remi's girlfriend is an alligator" thing is a running gag at BR. She's actually just a Florida Gators super-fan.

I might do a part 2 with my Galo and Lio headcanons, too.

Man I love the little prequel-y Promare stuff if you guys haven’t seen them I’d highly recommend it. I can’t believe Lio really just showed up out of the blue in the desert one day. Where did he come from? Why is he all alone? I’m going to go feral.

Lio debates putting away the hairdryer and acting like he isn’t having a crisis, but he quickly realizes how pointless that’d be once Galo sees the state of his hair, so he stays quiet and accepts his fate of being found. It isn’t long before a familiar head of blue hair peeks into the doorway with a wide grin. “There you are! I thought you were lost in another book—what are you doing, Lio?”

He shakes the hairdryer, “Wishing I could set this thing on fire.”

ppl dropped the ball on galo characterization so hard even the rare times u would b finding ppl talking or writing abt him more in character giving him even a little more than just being lios nice hot boyfriend his character would still get pushed in2 ‘has few if any preferences or boundaries at least compared to lio who gets to be written like a normal human person’ like even if both these characters werent traumatized, which they r, having preferences or boundaries esp w stuff in an adult relationship like intimacy or sex is Normal regardless of whether ur traumatized or not. and like its just so bizarre its with GALO who is not unclear abt his boundaries in the actual canon and while he puts up w a lot its not bcuz he Doesnt Notice or think he doesnt push back against when he isnt treated well

[impactedfates]

Hello there!! Can I request some headcanons / mini-scenarios for: Dan Heng, March, Welt, Himeko, Yanqing and Jing Yuan; with a normally soft-spoken Reader who has a wide vocal range (from contralto to hitting those high notes) and occasionally does song covers? Doesn't matter the genre, so long as Reader likes it.

So they might hear Reader singing something like a lullaby or a traditional Xianzhou song one day, to something that's still soft and sweet like a mainstream pop song on another day; to belting out something like "Kakusei" or "NEXUS" from the Promare OST. :D

★ A/N: I understood the request, I just hope I wrote it in a way you wanted! People with such a large vocal range are so talented istg, they gotta teach me. (I say as if I have ANY confidence to sing anyways)

☆ Genre/Trope: Platonic

★ Format: Bullet Pointed Head Cannons (And small scenario at the end :>)

☆ Warnings: None

★ Extra: Reader is a Nameless // Readers age is undisclosed so imagine them at whatever age you wish // Reader can play instruments! // Characters might be OOC I feel // Proof Read but I did it when it was 4am lmao

When you sing more soft songs, Dan Heng tends to enjoy listening. It helps him feel more relax and sometimes rids his mind of nightmares.

He's more used to hearing that kind of voice from you. So when one day, he walks in on you singing a song that's the exact opposite of how you usually sing, he's a bit surprised.

He never doubted you could have a big vocal range, however hearing you sing a song that's different to how he normally hears you sing is what surprised him.

He still enjoys listening, but more so when you sing in a softer voice, don't get him wrong. He still enjoys your singing voice and will support you. But he isn't one for a more loud song.

"[Name]...if you're going to sing more...on the loud side, could I request you do it else where?" Dan Heng sighs softly, being awoken up once again due to you. Despite his words hinting at annoyance, his facial expression was soft and kind. A soft sorry came from your voice as you quickly turned off the music you were using, switching to a more softer song. An old Xianzhou lullaby. "Here, I'll make it up to you. Sit on the couch and I'll sing a softer song" You smiled, Dan Heng chuckled as he obliged. He can't deny that your more softer voice doesn't help him fall asleep. He silently hums along to your voice, and in a sleepy voice he speaks to you before drifting to bed. "If you enjoy music like that so much, we can pay a visit to Serval okay?"

March 7th LOVES your singing voice. She would sing along to whatever song you were singing. She praises you every time she hears you and likely took photos of you singing.

She so supports you if you ever make a YouTube (StarTube?) account and posted covers, literally your number 1 fan.

When you post a cover of a song, she's always the first one to like, comment and listen!

When you post a cover of a song that's VERY different. (Let's say, Usseewa) and you hit ALL those high notes and, everything omg. She was surprised but immediately hyped you up.

She doesn't mind if you sing songs like that at all, your singing is amazing. Like I said, number 1 fan...she doesn't hid it either.

"I love you [Name]!" "Uh, the one with the blue camera and pink hair?" "OH. MY GOD. [NAME] YOU NOTICED ME, YOU NOTICED ME. I.LOVE.YOU" Serval laughed out loud seeing Marchs outburst, as if you two don't live with each other. You could only look away with a small smile, seeing March jump up and down and shaking whoever was beside her. Much to Welts "delight"

Welts very impressed with your vocal range. But he's also worried, he knows that if you were able too have a large vocal range, you likely know how to manage it.

Still, anytime he hears you singing songs like NEXUS or Kakusei he can't help but slide over a bottle of water for your throat.

If you ever join a concert with Serval then he IS buying tickets, though not everyone may go (Dan Heng) he and the rest of the Express will.

He also tends to buy any merch you may come out with if there is any. (Mainly for March but he does keep one or two for himself to support you)

He doesn't really have a preference when it comes too what songs you sing, just as long as your happy and it isn't really disturbing anyone.

If you ever start a StarTube channel, he might animate a few of your covers! Under a pen name though, he's not embarrassed, but I think he'd like it if you thought it was a different fan and not just him who's already liked your singing from the start. (If that makes sense)

"WELT! Weltweltwelt" You ran up to him, quickly showing him an animation someone did of one of your new songs. "ArahatosNumber1Fan animated one of my covers again" You said excitedly, bringing the phone screen back to your view as you scrolled through the comments. Many complimenting the animation but many also asking who sang the cover to which they were directed to your account. "This the guy that you said was helping boost your channel subs?" You nod happily, tapping your chin you thought for a bit. "Do you think they'd still animate my covers even if I sing a different genre? I want to go with something softer this time instead of a louder peice" "I'm sure they'll animate any song you wish to sing" He chuckles. And sure enough, a week after you posted a cover of Lost Umbrella, ArahatosNumber1Fan posted an animation to go along with it.

Himeko compliments you a lot for your vocal range. In fact, she got you a karaoke machine for your birthday! Of course, though. She doesn't let you use it during night time. She doesn't want to wake up because you decided to start singing Churira Churira Dadada at 3 in the morning.

I do think she prefers you to sing outside the train. While she does enjoying your singing and she has no problem if you were to sing in the train. However she also understands it may disturb many people so she does ask for you to sing in an area where you aren't disturbing anyone.

I feel like she also asks you to teach her how to sing or have a wider vocal range. She enjoys singing herself and would love to join in when you're out singing to keep you company!

Perhaps you two can make money by singing on the streets :> (Only if you're okay with it though!)

You strummed you guitar as the two of you reached the last note, Himeko took a small bow and looked up at the audience that had gathered around. All of them clapping and complimenting your voice. She laughed softly and gently packed up your things so the two of you could get going, checking to see if you were uncomfortable with the attention before she directs you back to the train. As you two entered, Himeko was quick to sit and count the amount of credits that were left in your guitar case, looking up to you she said with a smile. "A success, well done. They loved you" "It wasn't just me singing..." "Perhaps but...I'd say they have their favourites"

When Yanqing overhears you singing Xianzhou lullabys, he's quick to shower you with compliments. Your voice is so soothing! He could listen it for so long and it's effective too. You had to usher him out as he could wake the kids you just put to bed.

When he hears you singing a song like (man I'm running out of songs I know/hj) Noels Lament. He's impressed, how can you sing a song so softly and quietly and then sing something like this which needs a stronger voice??

He might skip a few of his training to find you and see what song you're singing, he makes it a guessing game! Will you be singing something so sweet and kind? Or something that might will make head turn??

"...Yanqing?" "Ha! I guessed right this time" "...Guessed...right?" Ah, you weren't meant to know the guessing game he had in his own head, quickly, he shuffled away. Scratching the back of his head. "Of where you were!" "I always walk in this area" "...I meant...what outfit you'd be wearing?" "I usually wear similar clothes?" ...Yeah, he's running off quickly, hopefully Jing Yuan won't scold him for skipping his training again right? Surely the general can understand he just has to see if his guess was right or not.

Surprisingly (or not surprisingly) Jing Yuan enjoys when you sing your heart out with songs like Candy Store or Mount Rageous. That's the type of sing he first heard you sing when he tried to find Yanqing when he skipped yet another training sessions.

Usually he would just sleep till Yanqing returned or just go on with his day if he never did. In either case, now he joins Yanqing to see what song you're singing before returning back to train.

When he hears you singing a less upbeat song like Sweet Dreams. He's slightly surprised but listens intently, it's different to what he often hears you sing but he enjoys it none the less, he sees your happy so he's fine.

He might even request to hear certain songs just to see how well you voice range can handle it. From the loudest song that could break glass, to a soothing song that can put even the mara struck to bed. And if you successfully sing them all, he congratulates you.

Overall, he's impressed as well as many others, likely talks to you and how well you sing to his friends.

You panted a bit as you finished a particularly long high note, Jing Yuan chuckles and slides over a cup of water which you accept quickly. Taking a drink to sooth your throat. "You voice really can do wonders, I'm more then impressed" He speaks, you nodded in response as he then offers a small treat for agreeing to sing a song for him. A song that made you go from high to low, soft to loud and all in all, tested how wide your voice range can be in a singular song. "I must apologies, I just wished to see how far your voice can go. I should've considered how tired your throat must be from singing that particular song" "No worries, it was fun to read and practice that song. I'm a bit surprised you know it though" "Oh? Are you now?" "Yeah...I mean...the song was released like a month ago and you're kinda a grandp-" "Alright I get it" He chuckled lightly, gently flicking your forehead.

I'm so smart writing Yanqings and JY sleep deprived right?/j Yeah uh they might be OOC, hopefully not thoughejfpgt.

Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon Review

I first heard of Dungeon Meshi a bit before it started airing; my Twitter mutuals who had read the manga were very excited that not only was it being adapted, but it was being adapted by fan-favorite Studio Trigger, my personal favorite modern anime studio. Famous for their hyperactive Looney Tunes-esque visuals, thanks in large part due to the influence of founder and Gainax alumni Hiroyuki Imaishi, Studio Trigger's most famous works include Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and the film Promare. Finding out that Trigger was producing the series immediately put it on my to-watch list. But there were two other things that made it jump to the top of the list that the fandom had been discussing.

Fairly soon after the series started airing, I started seeing fellow yuri fans fangirling over the dynamic of Marcille the elf and Falin the human. There was so much fanfare over Farcille that I incorrectly assumed it was a canon pairing- on this front and this front alone I was sorely disappointed. Regardless, I did enjoy the dynamic between the two, despite my disappointment at the lack of canon yuri. However, Falin and Marcille ended up fairly low on the list of things that kept me watching the series, which turned out to be excellent beyond my expectations. One other headcanon-turned-fanon that also tricked me was that the fandom had been calling Laios, the protagonist, autistic for a while, and as an autistic person that's desperate for actual good autism representation, THAT'S what made me finally decide to watch it. As it turns out, it was also just fanon, which was a bit disappointing considering that Laios's autism-coding is so strong that it had me 50% convinced, against all odds, that it was canon. This scene in particular half of me truly believe that it was intentional.

However, it was unintentional, as is all good "autism representation." But can you blame me? He even has the same dead-inside stare that I do because of my autism!

Regardless, Dungeon Meshi has so much more to offer than simple representation. The plot, considering that it's a medieval Europe-based fantasy, something I generally find cliche, is very unique and keeps you guessing from one episode to the next. I definitely didn't start watching the series because the plot sounded good- the eating monsters part sounded gimmicky, but in practice it's excellent and really adds to the world's lore. The series is a bit of a bait-and-switch in that those who may have been lured in by the basic premise end up with more than they bargained for in terms of dark themes. Fans of the 2003 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist will appreciate the darker tone the series acquires mixed with themes of familial bonds and friendship. Both series have strong parallels to Frankenstein with their attempted resurrection plotlines, not to give too much away.

The chemistry of the main cast is fantastic. The way the colorful characters play off of each other, especially off of Laios's combination of monster infodumping and constant social faux pas, is consistently entertaining. Senshi is an interesting departure from the hot-headed dwarves of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, he has no interest in mining, and certainly no interest in "delving too deep" or "too greedily" into the dungeon the way the ill-fated dwarves of Moria did to their mine. Senshi is thoughtful in all his actions, always sure to take only the supplies he and the others need for food, nothing more, so as to not disrupt the dungeon's delicate ecosystem. That doesn't mean he's always rational, as we see from him attempting to ride the kelpie, but nonetheless it makes him the most mature and considerate of the party. Kui has confirmed that Laios wasn't written to be autistic, although she was sure to say she doesn't mind him being seen that way, but as an autistic person I love how each individual cast member has a unique reaction to his constant infodumping and social woes. Kabru is the most interesting in this regard, in that he sees Laios's encyclopedic knowledge of monsters as the strength that it is, not a flaw.

The worldbuilding in Dungeon Meshi is as rich as a fantasy series can have, with careful consideration from author Ryoko Kui about the lore of each individual monster, ingredient, and dish. I'm not one to care too deeply about lore, but Dungeon Meshi does it in such a clever, unique, and often funny way that I love to hear Laios's fun facts about monsters, or the specific properties of a herb used in one of Senshi's dishes.

Visually, all I can say is that Trigger was the perfect choice to adapt the series. While far from as over-the-top as Kill la Kill, fans of Trigger's innovative "sugar rush" animation style won't be disappointed. It's a perfect sprinkling of Trigger's famous stylization, just enough to properly adapt the manga's tone while making it still recognizably a Trigger anime.

The openings are very enjoyable, and while I've heard complaints about the second one, I love it. I've gotten it stuck in my head more times than I can remember, it's extremely catchy. The OST is perfect for the series and never distracts from the on-screen action.

All in all, I give the series a strong 9/10 rating. Highly recommended to all. I enjoyed the first 16 episodes so much that I immediately started buying the manga in physical form before I even finished the anime. I'm currently on volume 6, waiting for 7 to come in the mail. When I read the manga in full, I'll give it a full review as well.
