Liam D. Keel (born July 13, 2006) is an American singer-songwriter, digital artist, and political candidate[1][2]. He is best known for creating the viral TikTok original character “L Money” within the My Little Pony fandom, and for his symbolic candidacy in the 2024 Oregon Secretary of State election. Keel’s work spans music, visual art, fan fiction, and civic engagement, and business often blending imaginative storytelling with provocative political and cultural commentary as well as new perspectives.

Early Life

edit

Keel was born at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon, alongside his twin brother. He spent his early childhood in Sisters, Oregon, raised by both parents. His upbringing in central Oregon would later influence his artistic and political identity, particularly his emphasis on regional pride and Gen Z representation in modern politics.

Social Media and Artistic Career

edit

Instagram and Early Persona (2018–2022)

edit

Keel began posting on Instagram in 2018, initially sharing everyday content involving food, pets, and personal life. His online persona shifted dramatically in September 2022, when he posted an image of himself holding My Little Pony-themed diapers—a moment that marked the beginning of his transformation into a self-styled “King of My Little Pony.”

L Money TikTok virality (2023)

edit

Keel’s TikTok account @kingofmlp[3] became a hub for fan-generated content, particularly slideshows featuring his original character Prince Little Sun Money, or “L Money.” First introduced in August 2023, L Money was depicted in romantic and often controversial scenarios with canonical My Little Pony characters. From August 2023 to February 2024, Keel’s slideshows portrayed L Money impregnating over 55 female characters, most notably Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and the rest of the mane 6 as well as Vinyl Scratch, Octavia Melody, and Littlepip & Homage from the Fallout Equestria storyline. This drew both viral attention and criticism.


Later years of L Money on TikTok (2024-2026)

edit

In late 2024, Keel reimagined L Money with more inclusive themes, embracing LGBTQ+ narratives and expanding the character’s emotional depth. This “Adaptation Era” revitalized his viewership and solidified L Money’s place as one of the most prolific and polarizing original characters in My Little Pony fan culture. By early 2025, Keel’s TikTok activity slowed due to the anticipated U.S. ban on the platform. His final year featured ceremonial photoshoots, Pride Month tributes, and farewell content that framed L Money as a legacy character.

My Little Pony Convention Appearances

This event marked the start of Keel’s public involvement in fan conventions, where he contributed to discussions and activities centered on fandom culture and creative expression.

BABScon 2025: Final One

In 2025, Keel attended BABSCon in Burlingame, California, where he held a pre-convention press conference and released promotional photographs taken in San Francisco. During the convention, he met voice actress Ashleigh Ball and obtained autographs on fan art and memorabilia. He also participated in a musical performance by Tuo Li [4]and interacted with other creators such as ZizzyDizzyMC and Trance Sequence, highlighting his ongoing engagement with the creative community.

Everfree Northwest 2025: 2nd Appearance

edit

Notable moments included a photoshoot in Bellevue’s Goddard Park and a meeting with voice actress Nicole Oliver. His convention appearances have been characterized by active participation in panels, performances, and fan interactions, contributing to the broader documentation and celebration of fandom events.

Political Career

edit

Liam Keel for Oregon Secretary of State in 2024

edit

In July 2023, Keel announced his candidacy for Oregon Secretary of State via YouTube[2]. Though not listed on the official ballot, he qualified as a write-in candidate under Oregon law[5]. His campaign platform included:

  • Legalizing psilocybin for recreational use[6]
  • Building more hospitals statewide[7]
  • Raising teacher salaries
  • Defying the federal TikTok ban within Oregon[8]
  • Proposing a $100,000 state-funded surrogate program for men without partners
  • Advocating fair taxation for the ultra-wealthy

Keel’s campaign was widely viewed as symbolic, representing Gen Z’s entry into mainstream politics[1]. He received five confirmed write-in votes in Deschutes County and lost the general election by over 1.1 million votes.

Medical History

edit

Keel was hospitalized in December 2020 for an unspecified endocrinological illness. On October 1, 2023, he was admitted again following two weeks of abdominal pain, later referencing surgery and life-threatening complications without disclosing the specific condition. Keel has never publicly named a specific illness to his fans on social media.
