It was a 5 hour marathon, but we did it! We smashed the initial $1000 target, and finished with $2332 raised for The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund!

Thank you again to all the artists, thank you to the donors, and thank you to the watchers!

Next, @captainhoers.bsky.social brings us this #LesMiserables adaptation, featuring Daring Do as Jean Val Jean, Bon Bon as Javert, and poor little Scootaloo as the injured Marius, during this confrontation in the sewers of Paris.

#mlp #LesMis

4/5
In a sewer, Bon Bon stands in a circle of light above, looming over a bedraggled and disheveled Daring Do who is carrying an unconscious Scootaloo on her back. Rarity is hitting the Family Guy death pose while Bubble Wrap lays limp in an inlet above.

In this adaptation of #Hadestown by @shirecorn.bsky.social casts Tempest Shadow (or Fizzlepop Berrytwist) as Hades, and poor little Bubble Wrap (or Derpy) as Eurydice, as the little songbird being coaxed into hell.

#mlp

3/5
In a red smoky landscape, a train circles the scene, as a massive Tempest Shadow looms over a tiny Bubble Wrap as she looks nervously behind her, and Doctor Whooves distractly plays with his toys, oblivious to what's happening behind him.

Big Mac from My Little Pony, dressed as Rusty from Starlight Express, looking at a glowing star in his hands with tears in his eyes. Pear Butter, in the distance behind him, dressed as the Starlight Express, looks down proudly on him. He says "I won't let you down."

Rarity and Maud try to get along on their camping trip.

#mlp #rarity #maudpie

From our EFNW 2025 Panel: youtu.be/xwUIbsza2k4
Panel One: Rarity, in a sweater, is sat around a campfire being lit by Spike, across from Maud Pie. Both of them are holding marshmallows on sticks. Rarity says "Darling I am SO Happy You Joined Me on my Annual Alone In The Woods With MY Thoughts Trip." (art by Punkitt) Panel Two: Rarity pulls an awkward grimace as Maud lowers her stick into the fire without saying a word. Spike looks baked. (art by Balile) Panel Three: Maud keeps her stick deep in the fire. Rarity is increasingly nervous. She asks "I-Is your marshmallow alright d-darling.... ....?" (art by Moozua) Panel Four: Rarity sees Maud pull her stick out of the fire, revealing a pine cone on the end. Rarity asks "Oh, is that a pine cone?" Her attempt at conversation is cut short when Maud shoves the pinecone into her mouth, munching on it. Rarity looks disgusted, thinking to herself "I'm never taking this xxxxxx camping ever again."

New DH artist @umbreow.bsky.social brings us a prequel to G4, where Sunset Shimmer discovers the powers of Tartarus while trying to avoid losing her unicorn magic to ritual sacrifice, prior to the discovery of alicorn's ability to move the celestial bodies.

#mlp #DHart

4/4
On one side of the image, Sunset Shimmer is walking away, while Sky Dancer flies happily above, and Surprise looks on them smiling. On the other side, a young Luna and young Celestia look onward sternly. In the middle, a future Sunset Shimmer stands facing away from the camera, with draconic wings, dark limbs, and a demonic horn.

Leak confirmed real? In @timsplosion.bsky.social's proposal for a G4 reboot, AJ is the main character, with her adopted lil brother Spike, with the two of them traveling to the big city to find out more about Spike's past. And including original concept Firefly and Surprise!

In @anxietymonstrr.bsky.social's AU, "My Little Pony: Twilight Skies", Luna rules over an Equestria cleaved apart by the banishment of Daybreaker to the Sun a thousand years ago, and the mane 6 gets an even greater mix of pony species!

#mlp #DHart

2/4
A poster of an alternate MLP G4. Twilight is darker, Fluttershy has flowers in her mane and tail, AJ is basically the same. Rarity is a quadrupedal dragon, Rainbow Dash is a dragon, and Pinkie Pie is a seapony in a bathtub on wheels. In the background, Luna looks pensive while Daybreaker looks manic.
