Ah, you can't have a NATG without the space ponies. I swear they are a tradition all their own here and they have certainly been through a lot...most of it not good. It's nice to see them sharing a semi-peaceful for a change. Amazing what inner courage can do to help make you face the impossible, eh?
We've done it everyone, we are a third of the way done with the NATG! You all put in your best effort despite being tired and brought in 109 ponies today which brings our ten day total to 1517 ponies in the end! Fantastic job everyone, you're kicking butt this year!
Now, for those of you familiar with the NATG, it is time for a little reward. Today is our first Makeup Day where you get the chance to catch up on prompts you missed, try prompts again to improve on the work you did, submit work you missed submitting to the submitter or just taking a load off for the day.
You can find the submitter here! A list of prompts for the past ten days will be after the break!

9 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 10 - Meto30
As always, narrative continues from the previous prompts. Sunset is looking back at her experiences, remembering how her friendship with the Rainbooms, and by extension with the rest of the school, is always on shaky foundations. Every time her bonds are broken, she looks back towards Twilight for help and guidance - Twilight is the sole immovable ally, the foundation from which to re-establish destroyed relations. This is the (hypothetical / fan-fictional) basis of my Sunset-PrincessTwi shipping, and since I did not give the matter enough attention to it in the the actual shipping prompt, I discussed it here.

12 Flutters Fluffs Her Lines - Rapidsnap (GJM)
All that hard work gone in 10 seconds flat thanks to Rainbow Dash.
15 BASSHEAD PONY - PinKIlecuO
I find all my inner courage through music, especially bassy music with no vocals or extemely minimal vocals, so I think this fits the genre?
17 I Want to Believe - RainbowBacon
Lyra: Those fools! They said I could never do it, They said I was a mad mare! Well look at me now... LOOK AT M-
Bon Bon: Lyra? I heard an evil laugh again.... what are you doing?

18 Double Arm Wrestling Champion - NovatheShrouded
Can anyone manage to arm wrestle two opponents at the same time and win... Smolder apparently can!
19 Lyra's Lucky Charm - MachoPony
Sometimes Bon Bon just rolls with her marefriend's incredible luck.
24 Starlight's Inner Courage - Daimando
For this one, I drew up Filly Starlight and the discovery of her inner courage. But as you can tell, no cutie mark. Why? In my universe, Starlight ends up finding her own inner courage that would result in her getting her cutie mark. Of the Unicorn Six, she'll be the last to get her cutie mark, and it will be a difficult task for her. How she earns it, is up to me.
25 Courage - flutterkind
26 Rolling a 7 - NotADeliciousPotato
ATG Day 10: Draw a pony defying impossible odds.
The explanation for rolling a 7 on a die labelled 1-6?
"It's Pinkie Pie, don't question it."

everypony said to her it was impossible but against all odds, she did it anyway
28 2020 NATG 10 - inner courage - C||R
Maybe in the future da derkness is broken out of Limbo, and Stygian has to powerup. Or it's an AU where Stygian had to defeat it alone and had a chance.
36 Dividing by zero - Ragmo
I had no idea what to do today... so i'm just going with 'doing the impossible'.
SHE DID IT. She managed to solve the division by 0. What it is you ask? Well you can't see it, or THEY will come for you.
The arrangement isn't that great; but i needed somtheing where you can see "1/0 = " while my OC was standing infront of it, without seeing the result. Flipping her and putting her head over the result would've been betterm but i realised that to late.

37 2020 ATG Day 10 - Sugar-Loop
Thorax defying impossible odds AND finding his inner courage by escaping the hive.
40 Luna's Test of Courage - EbonyCrystal1986
Princess Luna couldn't believe what she was about to do! When she and Celestia had planned their bucket lists for their sister trip, she had NO idea this was on there! But she somehow managed to take the plunge and followed her sister down the zipline, but she was certainly glad when it was all over!
41 Courage to Ask - Lorewolf
When I thought of scenes from my story about finding courage, this one kinda stepped ahead of any action scenes.
As stated earlier, I started my headcannon mid- season 8, and Scoo seemed to not have parents. I didn't plan on her showing up. I was just imagining Lore and Tree doing paperwork about their speakeasy, The Root Cellar, and the door got knocked on.
I honestly didn't know what to do, so I kept giving the reigns to the characters.

46 Fears on All Sides - Termyotter
Since leaving the hive his greatest fear had been being forced back.
Over the years away he had built a new life and found someone to be with and a colt to adopt. The old worry had slowly faded, until the day they found him.
As he told his family to run he realized his greatest fear was no longer in front of him, but the possible looks on the faces of his family. As long as they got away though any price was worth it.

50 Defying the Odds - NATG - Sprite
Copped out on this image, too. Today's prompt didn't particularly excite me, so I just grabbed the first reference I could thing of. Good ol' Strider.

51 The Staring Contest - dzamie
They've been at this for half an hour... It's hard to tell, but Kaa is slowly getting less smug as the pony continues to pass his Will saves.
54 The Courage to Jump - phallen1
This is more difficult than the first time they trusted their life to a flimsy sack of silk. For both of them. This is a commitment and a leap of faith.
Where are the impossible odds, you ask? That is what they'll be facing, spending the rest of their lives together.

58 Recovery - MLT
Breaking the rate of descent for a speeding comet seems an almost insurmountable task.

66 Casual Chit Chat - Gourd Animations
As much as I would hate this happening in the show, I think a scene like this might be kinda cute.

Space times quick it's almost 4 am comic.
69 Somehow in a Snow Globe - Tigerett
Sometimes I still wonder as to how she defied all known physics to get in that snow globe; even WITH magic being the possible explanation.
72 The 53rd Annual Spaghetti-Eating Contest - Faith?
73 NATG X Day 10 Rainboom :3 - skypause
I had a LOT of trouble with her hind legs from this angle. If you have any real advice/critique on her hind legs, feel free to jump in.

77 Based on a True Story - SOENJAY
Dustykatt blocked me on Twitter like 3 years ago and I have no idea why. I've had plenty of opportunities to ask him in person why considering I was staff at Bronycon from 2016 onward and interacted with him many times, but I've never acted on it. This has become a years old inside meme amongst my friends. Will this garner enough attention to get me an answer? Maybe.
79 Defies the Odds - Pone-Dancer
Razzle Dazzle isn't considered the world's brightest pony. He's doofy, warm, and extremely happy, which gives others a false view of him. But sometimes he has a few rare moments of mental clarity! This is one of those times. Dreadful Dream is super impressed. Shasta is annoyed by her best friend Lucretio's yelling.
Luc is super-duper smart and acts of insolence on such a grand scale makes him a tad...triggered. He'll calm down later hopefully!
Lucretio belongs to LennyStendhal13

98 Trixie Fights the Ursa Minor - midnight-anomaly
A few minutes late on this one, I ran out of time to add magic and a background. I drew and redrew Trixie's face a billion times but couldn't figure out how to get her shouting without her looking like a goldfish attached to a pony neck like she does in the final version.
101 Not actually impossible - Twilightning Storm
102 Found It - Frith
"A pony finding their inner courage". Better out than in, especially when it's a foreign object that went in on a dare. Hay Rainbow Dash! Remember that [raisin] you said I was too chicken to stuff up my nose? I just found it!
103 Tumbleweed Blitz Finds His Inner Courage - TaichiKeaton
Tumbleweed Blitz finds his inner courage to talk to his crush, Stardust.
