I think we've all been in Zipp's situation where you just want to smack someone for taking up so much time over what seems to be a trivial decision. Frustration is something we all have to deal with, whether it is with ourselves or with those around us, it is how we deal with this frustration that makes all the difference. Do we face it head-on and power through it? Do we try and run from it or do we let it break us? That is what matters in the end.
For today's count of very frustrated ponies, we managed to bring in 63 ponies today which brings us up to 1250 ponies in total!
As for our next prompt, I want to keep us on the path of ponies not exactly having their best days because too often to we just keep our little pastel friends in happy slice-of-life scenarios. We have seen that in the show as well, where our ponies have to deal with things that aren't all that happy. So for today I'd like our artists to Draw a pony facing their worst nightmare / Draw a pony scared senseless.
For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, or wherever try this: Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below: Chrome: Copy link address Safari: Copy
Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
Max Image Resolution is 4096x4096! If your image is larger than that, the submitter will resize it to that max resolution.
Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation that people should follow your links to the source to see the animation in full.
Remember, our compiler for the old prompt is up a few hours even after this post goes up with the new prompt so feel free to submit your submission to the previous day's 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!

Sometimes the thought occurred to him, or to the persona he'd created. "Everyone said be yourself, but what if nobody wanted that self?" "Then you be the closest 'safe' self you can." was always the answer. But the more time went on, the worse the answer seemed.

19 "You're not like them because you're not one of them" - Lili Dash!
The young Sombra has just found out that his entire life has been a lie, and that he is not the pony he thought he was. Now, with his dark powers being awakened within him by a mysterious crystal claiming to be his mother, he is finally beginning to crack (literally and figuratively). I am very proud of this picture, and I really gave it my all with this one. I hope it shows! Inspired by Fiendship is Magic #1.

pushed to the limit/about to break? - sounds like Final Fantasy limit break where the character gets strong and can exceed 9999 damage. thought the Kirin was the best choice to crossover Kung Fu Panda since it fits the vibes of both worlds

45 "Tired." - Emerald Pencil
Sometimes you're just dead beat. Good thing God is Emerald's strength! Verse of the Day: "Each time [God] said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. 10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

48 Clock is TICKING! - Ebony Crystal
Lesson Zero has been one of my all time favorite episodes of MLP:FiM, and when I saw today's prompt, I knew I had to do another screen redraw of one of Twilight's MANY freakouts during said episode. :3 This was great expression and shading practice for me, too! :3

Darby is not the kind of pony to be ticked off easily, but the moment you push her boundaries is where she draws the line.
