Description: Princess Twilight Sparkle had announced the detonation of the moon, and everypony thought it was a prank. Celestia was known to prank her subjects quite often, and so it was natural for ponies to think that her pupil would be of a similar mindset.
So it came as a surprise for everypony, especially a painfully unaware Luna, when the moon was actually obliterated.

It's that time once again to spam you all with comic updates! Get them above and below.
Friendship is Magic, while colorful and entertaining, subtly addressed many complex themes, including mental health. Various characters throughout the series faced emotional struggles, anxiety, self-doubt, and even episodes of depression, often depicted through goofy shenanigans, but not always.
Consider characters like Fluttershy dealing with social anxiety, Twilight’s bouts of stress-induced panic, or Pinkie Pie’s experiences with loneliness and insecurity. Each scenario offered viewers a chance to recognize and understand mental health challenges in a safe, empathetic way. Should these have been explored more throughout the years?

Pony trading card gaming returns from Kayou! Unlike previous sets that were just collectible, this looks to be an actual game that they've developed with Hasbro with plans to take it global instead of just China this time.
On top of that, they have a story arc planned around all of this, complete with a dedicated team of writers to bring it to life. Their plans are to release it this month, with two launch tournaments taking place in Shanghai on April 26 and May 3rd, with demos appearing in Beijing and Chengdu.
Other languages will follow later. With how insanely popular G4 pony is again in China, it's not surprising they are starting there. Head on down below for the press release and pictures!
So... princess ponies. It's pretty clear that they control just about everything in Equestria. To the point of ponies bringing up their problems daily directly to Celestia in her court as we saw in both the comics and the episode where she swapped butt symbols withn Luna.
What do you think the actual government of Equestria is? Are we looking at a super benevoplent dictatorship? A full on Monarchy? Or could the have been voted out if people were unhappy with Celestia's various choices over the millenia?

For those of you out there collecting the Chinese trading cards from Kayou, they appear to be looking toward the long term when it comes to these things. During their bid to file for an IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it was revealed that their license to make them is set to expire way out in 2029, and they are apparently wildly successful.
For the specifics, they've apparently made a whopping 1.2 billion USD on their trading card business alone, with MLP being a big driver of it according to their breakdown. People over in China really love pony trading cards apparently! This also includes other brands of course, but it's a pretty staggering amount either way. Their purchaset into Hasbro's IP in 2024 was 73 million.
Hopefully their international stuff becomes easily available and isn't tariffed to death.
I thought this one was cool enough to split off. The BABSCon book cover went with art from Andy Price this time, complete with lots of fun little references and things to find if you zoom in and read stuff.
Poor Luna...
For those that haven't been around since the early days, Equestria Daily here was originally created to report on all of the pony stuff going on over on the Comics and Cartoons board on 4chan. The threads were moving at a ridiculously fast pace, and back then archiving wasn't great for the site so a lot of pony content was lost to the void.
Since then, 4chan's /mlp/ board has been a huge influencer of a lot of the silly memes and trends we see around the fandom. From Lyra obsessing over humans to the more recent ones like Snow ponies, the mountains of shitposting and chaos of the site also breeds absurd amounts of creativity. You need to understand the culture and have thick skin to view it, but when you do figure it out, you can mine some pretty high quality gold out of those dunes filled with garbage.
As of today, the hacker known as 4chan has taken down 4chan and leaked IP addresses and emails for the majority of the mods and jannies that keep the place somewhat under control. This person apparently also has access to everyone that has ever input their email into the site, from 4chan gold users to people getting around the huge time restrictions they put in posting lately. They've apparently chosen not to leak any of that though according to the rumormill.
That same rumormill is saying that this is the end of 4chan as we know it, as the entire bedrock was built on this apparently easily hackable framework. I'd be surprised if that is the case though. Many an anon is autistic enough to spend weeks rebuilding everything, and plenty of people would mod it regardless of leaks just for the idea of holding some kind of power over the storm.
For now at least, it appears dead. Reddit mods are already hiding in their bunkers as the influx of anons arrive at what some consider to be the alternative. Will they survive the insanity? Is losing the containment zone that was 4chan going to flood the internet in problematic content? The internet is going to be interesting this week, that's for sure.
We went all out on creatures in the later seasons of poni. To the point of a lot of people wishing we'd see more cartoon equine in our horse cartoon!
Do you think this was a wise show for the choice in the end? We dedicated a pretty huge chunk of episodes to the concept of different inhabitants of the world. In fact, it felt like world building was on steroids in the later half of the show despite it ending soon.
Was that time that could have been better spent on pony? Or were you happy with what we got? Discuss below!
Following the Rainbow Edition from a few days ago, Kayou has announced international English versions of the Moon Edition series 2 cards as well.
