Sometimes fate is so weird that even the most unlikely of things can happen, whether it is a sequence of events that makes you a hero in a situation you never would have found yourself in or events that lead you to pick up a pen and draw for 30 days straight. Life is filled with moments like these and sometimes when we embrace those situations we find ourselves enjoying something we normally wouldn't have thought we would have. Or just end up really, really confused like Chrysalis here, heh.
For today's prompt we brought in 72 ponies which now brings us up to 2102 ponies altogether! Nicely done once again everyone.
Tonight's prompt is our last one before our next Makeup Day and I have seen this particular situation hit a fair number of our artists if all the last minute submissions I see in our compiler is any indicator every year. For tonight I would like you guys to Draw a pony working against the clock / Draw a pony in the nick of time.
As always our submitter is here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission to our submitter!
Also, if you are late submitting and the submitter is closed, don't just throw your pic into the next day's submitter. Wait for a Makeup Day to submit!
Attention Discord Users:
For those of you with Discord we are really pulling out all the stops this year as we have a channel on EqD's official Discord server called #artist-training-ground for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.
Check on after the break for today's gallery!

A pony with a recurring nightmare of Luna. Halfway through drawing it I realised Luna could just change her appearance in the dream, so that didn't really work.

In Star Trek, the warp core breach is the worst possible disaster for a starship.

Here, Apple Bloom volunteered to fix a malfunctioning reactor cooling system.

55 ATG 9.19 - Draw a pony in a dire situation - Still Waters
Her life flashed before her eyes in that instant of realization. Of dawning dread, of just how dire her situation had become. No, she hadn't refilled her stocks after yesterday's bakery orders. No, she hadn't restocked her back-up stocks after the incident with the cake golem. She had, actually, gone through the last of her emergency stash with yesterday's second breakfast and the double-chocolate-chocolate-chip-pancakes. And then she just used the last of this jar when she visited Fluttershy's house for a "Hey-Hi-Here-you-can-borrow-a-cup-Let's-have-a-drink" shared cup of hot chocolate.

It was a long day. gardening, driving gardening, driving back. I don't remember what the prompt was. Somehow nervous breakdown Rarity fit the bill. So that's what I'm drawing. If the next prompt is 'draw a zero sum outcome involving ponies and interpretive dance', I'm going to plotz.
