You know, for a prompt that invited darkness there sure was a lot of cute thrown in as well. I always love seeing how different you all can take these prompts and how you make them your own, well done! It just makes me all the more enthusiastic about the prompts yet to come.
Speaking of today's prompt, we brought in 94 ponies today which brings us up to 2522 ponies in total. Keep up the good work everyone! The numbers may have dropped a little but we're still on pace to beat last year!
Now, as of late I have been subjecting our ponies to the weird, the supernatural, and even dire danger so I think they (and our artists) need a little bit of a rest with some lightheartedness. After all, that is one of the big reasons we love ponies, right? So for today I'd like you guys to Draw a pony cheering up a friend / Draw a pony turning a frown upside down.

2 ATG18: Young Dashie is in grave danger 😱 - Yelowcrom
Unfortunately I only got time to do a quick sketch because I will be away the whole weekend but I hope you like it anyway :3
10 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 18a - Meto30
Prompt 18 is for "Pony in grave danger". Addition of EQG Rarity into the mix, with whom I don't have much practice drawing, has slowed down the speed with which I make these drawings considerably. Well, on the bright side, I'm getting a lot of practice with Rarity!

13 Resting Place - MLT
...unfortunately, some places are secluded for a reason.
While not scientifically recognised, shadow beings are relatively common within Equestria. Their size varies a fair amount, with some, on rare occasions, growing terrifyingly huge.

Don't worry, folks. The piano's insured.
21 Adean Micheals - https://www.deviantart.com/wolfspiritclan
My oc Adean Micheals as a pony when she’s not a draconequus or human and I drew this to try to practice at designing my own plushie of her and might remake the plushie of Adean Micheals in draconequus form once I get the hang at sewing both by hand and sewing machine, I should look up pony plushie making tutorials to learn how to do them.
29 Nice to meet you :) - Ragmo
Well... somewhat of a weird situation, standing before the guy who draws you... and having your drawn characters right infront of you.
I wonder how many of the others had a similar idea today

35 Meet the 'sona-Maker - LizardWithHat
Yes, i dragging RainbowTahsie into this one! She made my beloved 'sona. Thanks so much X3
37 Starlight is Afraid - Daimando
In my universe, Starlight is seen as the big scaredy cat. Often afraid of the future out of fear that she could get lost in it. Though she has her moments of innocence, it doesn't take much for her to break out crying. Worst case scenario would be the Windigos Guild, Silver and Gold Bank, a nightmare she once had involving an equal sign, or having to put up with watching Gone with the Wind. Okay. That last part doesn't make sense. But you get the idea.
The only other character that would be almost as much of a scaredy cat would be Wanda. And even then, Starlight would still come out by a landslide when it comes to being afraid.

39 Mama, I'm coming home - Sparkyler
"I spent centuries trying to find you, but now that I'm here, I'm worried; what if I can't understand you? what if its been so long that you don't recognize me, or worse, you don't want me? What if you don't answer me, or worse, what if you're not even here? so many questions racing through my mind. Please, come answer me."
42 LEGO Apple Bloom - nopony
This time I made a pony from LEGO bricks, I hope it's not against the rules. What does it have to do with the prompt, you ask? Well, I can disassemble it at any moment…
Sorry for not-so-good quality, that's how my camera works.

54 Dark Date Night - Termyotter
There's bad dates, and then there are dates where you may not return... and not in that good where where you have an amazing night and regrets the next morning, but more the sacrificed to the dark forces kind.

Chrysalis has somehow regained her ultimate form, and decided that, this time, Starlight Glimmer won't get just her love devoured, but all of her!
Good end.

65 The Shed - Faith?
Hey Hey Hey

Zecora is pretty cool, especially in this episode. Unfortunately, this didn't end well for her.

It feels flat. I'm not confident in the shading...
Critique Welcome!

71 Label Your Food - SOENJAY
The lesson here being, never eat that half an enchilada you found in the fridge in a take home box. It's not yours and there will be proportionate retribution.
73 Daring Do and the Temple of Peril - EbonyCrystal1986
Quibble Pants and his stepdaughter Wind Sprint had NO idea that they would be caught up in a Daring Do adventure when they were out on their father/daughter trip which also lead to them being chased by bad guys in a mine cart over a huge pit of lava, and a broken track at the end! Ironically enough, the light at the end of the tunnel which lead to their exit and safety was over on the other half of track! Can Daring's quick thinking save the three of them before they fall to their doom...?

78 Parental Danger - Pone-Dancer
Spoiler Alert did his best to be a good foal. But sadly his parents blamed their rocky relationship on him. So when his hunger causes his instincts to snap and consume his mother's beloved pet Angel bunny, it's the last straw. Fluttershy pretty much disowns him and only provides her son's basic needs. Discord, who already dislikes Spoiler for not inheriting his chaos magic, now has even more of an excuse to ignore him.
His little half-brother (who doesn't know he's a half-brother yet) Darious does not help the situation XD Poor Spoiler, he is totally in shock in the first panel since he's never killed before.
Darious belongs to A-Generic-Artist-Lol
Fluttershy, Discord, and Angel bunny belong to Hasbro

86 Meet Your Baker - Frith
The gingerbread mare has come to life and has met it's baker! I thought of having Derpy meet her baker, but this was simpler.
90 Hunted - MalixCrash
Shhh... We don't want to alert the terminator! Don't ask me why there's a terminator after our local bug filly, Maggie. I don't know.
