April Fools, My Little Ponies! 🦄

Welcome back, everypony! We at the Ponytropica Blog can’t wait to continue sharing the magic of friendship with you all! But first, we need to clarify something…

✨APRIL FOOLS!✨

Sorry, fillies and gentlecolts, but our pony-focused rebrand was a ruse from the beginning.

Magic Kid kicked off the shenanigans by announcing our little rebrand and hopes to bring in the much larger MLP fanbase. She even drew this adorable banner depicting the current PHB authors as ponies!

Later, I shared my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony. Not gonna lie, this was actually an idea I had for a while. Whether or not you agree with my picks, it was a fun thought experiment as both a Poptropican and a pegasister.

The pony palooza even extended to our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat, which was renamed to the Ponytropica Help Chat. Some of you liked the blog’s bold new direction and played along. For example, Lone Flipper submitted this cute drawing of her pony-fied Poptropican to our #pop-art channel! And to top off the fun, I shared another post: Pop 5: Horses, featuring Poptropica’s most superior stallions. 🐎

The PHB will continue to be the top stop for all things Pop, but that won’t stop us from dipping our toes into other IPs. Feel free to combine your love for MLP (or some other media) with Poptropica any time of year. That’s the reason why our Pop-over series exists! 🎠

If you wish to see more Poptropica and Pony content, I highly recommend following Sleepy Biker, who has been reimagining Pop characters as various creatures in Equestria. You can follow her on Deviant Art, Instagram, and Tumblr.

And feel free to draw some other Pop characters or even your OCs as ponies. 🐴 We could probably make a sequel featuring your art.

Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
