It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: with much jazz-handsy excitement, we’re announcing the MTH final total!
Together, we raised:
The Marvel fandom rose up magnificently with an outpouring of generosity that impressed us all: 236 “Marvel”-ous creators came forward to offer 354 auctions. 💖🎉 Each and every one of you was instrumental to our success, and we appreciate your contributions so very much. We couldn’t have started this auction without you, and we discovered so many talented creators in the Marvel fandom through it!
We also owe our success to our wonderful bidders and signal boosters. There can’t be an auction without any bidders, and we had hundreds of you intent on winning the auctions you set your hearts on. And signal boosters, there’s no way we could have reached as many creators and bidders as we did without your help.
In addition to the astounding amount of money we were able to raise for charity, MTH was successful in other ways. We strove to be as inclusive as possible, determined to make this event a fandom-wide effort. Considering that the auctions covered over 242 platonic and romantic relationships (if we include “all ships/gen”-inclusive relationships, this number is even higher) in at least 23 fandoms across 19 universes within the Marvel multiverse, we can safely say that we accomplished our goal.
This spirit of inclusion also applies to our auctions and charities. Every single one of our 354 auctions was bid on, and every one of our 30 supported charities received donations. This is a tremendous achievement. We’re in awe of your commitment to supporting all our creators and charities and thrilled that you spread all the love around, bidders!
Here’s our breakdown of the donations (click to enlarge the image):
We’re so touched by the massive number of people who donated above and beyond their pledged amount, creators who took on multiple auctions and offered up multiple winner slots, and bidders who accepted their second-place wins with such eagerness! We were extremely happy and proud of our initial projected sum, but were overcome with emotions as donation after donation came in and the total kept growing. It was remarkable and we often found ourselves at a loss for words (we had to resort to many crying and heart emojis, keyboard bashing, and variations of “omgggggg” in our mod chat).
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for helping us turn our first Marvel Trumps Hate auction into such an incredible experience. We cherish every single message of love and support that we received, and continue to receive, on our Discord server and through DMs, Tumblr messages, emails, Twitter threads, etc. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
To remember or learn why we created this auction in the first place, please check out our “thank you” post to all of our creators, bidders, signal boosters, and supporters.

Thank you once again to everyone who volunteered their services, time, money, and platforms to spread the word.
We can’t wait to see all of your fanworks over the next year!
Nate is a reluctant vampire who got turned in the same
incident that killed his son. He only goes after bad guys, and he’s never
killed anyone (that he knows of) but substance abuse is substance abuse, and
the fact that he can’t look in a mirror and see how bad he looks gives Sophie
many a fretful morning of “You were out again all night, I can see it. You didn’t
even wash up” accompanied by grouchy grunts from a freshly-self-loathing Nate.
Eliot is a were-creature of some kind. No one knows what,
because no one who’s seen him fully transformed has lived to tell the tale.
Those who have seen glimpses just know there are a lot of teeth involved. A lot of teeth.
Parker isn’t quite girl and she isn’t quite ghost. She’s
stuck halfway between – the result of not getting out of a certain exploding
house quickly enough as a child – which makes snacking a task sometimes (and
kissing even more so) but the perks are worth it. Being able to literally walk
through walls has made her the world’s greatest thief.
Hardison is human. Completely and totally. But in a world
where vanilla humans are often prey, he’s learned to defend himself with a
grasp of both technology and actual magic that rightfully earn him the title “wizard.”
He frequently uses fictional mages as aliases and Eliot will never let him live
down the time a flustered “Agent Gandalf” got laughed out of an FBI field
office.
Sophie is fey – as fey as they come. No one knows how old
she is (and no one dares ask) and while her acting skills leave much to be
desired (the fey can’t actually lie, after all), when she casts a glamour it
takes a strong mind to see anything other than exactly what she wants them to
see.
