The grace of our Princess Twilight Sparkle be with you all. Amen.
In case if youre wondering:
Its supposed to mean whatever you want it to. It can be drama, it can be a joke, Im a bit on both sides, and largely on the side of Me wanting to draw a big and detailed picture of the apocalypse. E100 seemed like a good moment.

SYMBOLISM:
Twilight is Jesus, as she is divine but born mortal. The sword, which should come out of Jesus mouth, is shown floating in front of her because it would look really stupid otherwise. Alpha and Omega is obvious. Her design, fiery and six-winged, is based on seraphim, the highest form of angels in christian angelic hierarchy. The symbols on the halo were used by alchemists to mark various elements.
Lauren is God the Father. Larson is the Antichrist.
Tara, holding a cup, is the Whore of Babylon, as she is quite an attention whore. The Whore is supposed to ride the Beast and also control manking through sin, and Tara is the queen of
The fandom, shown as the Scarlet Beast with seven heads and ten horns (allocated on its two “unicorn” heads), with the heads being those of background ponies, including the background six and also Colgate. The fandom also represents corrupted mankind, seeking nothing but earthly pleasures (like moronically obvious references, kitschy fanfiction and shipping everyone with everything).
Theres also a lake of fire, badly obscured by the beast.
Mane Six are the Horsemen of Apocalypse:
Dash is War, the red rider, as she is hot-headed and competitive. The symbol of war was a sword, shown as a camera with a bayonet, as cameras in the modern day are far more dangerous than anything bar nukes. The bayonet is a more literal “sword”, as well as showing how the camera is a weapon.
Pinkie Pie is Famine, the black rider, because of how eager for consumption and wastefullness she is. The symbol of famine was scales, meant to measure price. This is represented by the growing graph, which can mean both rising prices, and the rising revenue from the show. This alludes to Hasbros greed as well as the show getting supposedly more and more oriented around stripping people of their money with the unexpected fame it gained.
Fluttershy is Death, the pale rider, as she shows the least outward energy of the mane six, and is the least “spectacular” with all of her potential being hidden. Death in Revelation has no attribute, so I showed her next to Wormwood, the star which is supposed to fall from the sky into the sea and make one third of the worlds water bitter and poisonous.
Rara is Conquest, the white rider, as she wants to reach the upper classes and gain fame. The symbol of conquest was a bow, represented by the tower, as such a tower reaches far (like a bow) and media in modern day can “conquer” whole nations. The waves around the tower are also shaped like a bow and arrow.
No, the fourth rider is NOT pestilence, thats popculture apocalypse, and Im doing Revelation apocalypse.
Non-Biblical symbolism:
“Thats all folks” is the line which ended Looney Tunes episodes, symbolizing the end of the show. It also hints that this is not really damn serious and Im only dramatizing a little.
The train refers to “The Ride”, claimed to never end. And here it is, charging straight into the world and the city, sure to stop violently and very soon. It is also the hype train.
The tower is also a symbol of /pol/, the 4chan board famous for constantly expecting the end of the world. Its also where Doom Paul comes from, its not a purposeful reference, but i noticed the similarities really quickly.
And yes, i realize the beast has a horn too much.
If I could hug the artist, I would
This is horrifically beautiful!

Looks like just generic broadcasting tower to me…
Sheesh, finally.
Really douchey fun.
For people who are into that.
It’s whatever you want it to be. I made it because I wanted to draw a big picture of apocalypse and e100 seemed like a good occasion.
