Our poor ponies tonight, so many of them sick and trying their very best to get better. Unfortunately for us humans there are times when we are sick or not feeling well but still have to go to work or finish things. The world sadly doesn't stand still for us while we wish we can just curl up and sleep it off. I know there have been some days for at least some of you during the NATG where it has felt like that, but you guys have come back and made up the drawings you missed or you struggled on anyway! Just make sure to not overdo it and to take care of yourself.
As for today we managed to pull in 78 ponies which brings us up to 2030 ponies, finally breaking 2k! Congratulations everyone! Ready to shoot for 3k?
For today's prompt I thought we needed something that could be a bit more action oriented and let us work on a different set of expressions. Our ponies get into all sorts of trouble, but sometimes that trouble is of the greatest sort so for today I'd like you guys to Draw a pony in a dire situation / Draw a pony as the unlikely hero.
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!

Um, somepony needs to cheer up Pinkie again. Somepony get her either some sweets or a yovidaphone (don’t forget the earplugs if you give her the latter).

There is THIS one week every year, where you get THAT medine, for everyone :( She just got some "baked bads" - don't worry, she'll be fine in no time.

Even immortal princesses can feel under the weather. At least it's not the blue flu.

43 Sick Bloom - SupermarineSpitfire
Having to stay isolated from her friends and family to prevent spreading illness has left the poor filly bored out of her mind.

55 ATG IX Day XVIII - RizDub
Thought it'd be interesting to go with a more existential interpretation this time. Certainly somepony encountering a smooth-talking doppelgänger of themselves would make them not feel like themselves...

57 NATG 2019 Day 18 - Addelum
Zephyr Breeze: Aah! Wee-be-be-bee. Will you take a look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh? Well, you'll never believe this, but that pegasus you're looking at was once a fashion designer. And not just any fashionista. That guy was the best fashionista! A rich, poweful ball of charisma. Oh, yeah! This is his story. [Crying] Well, actually my story. That's right-- I'm that pegasus. The name is Zeph... Zephyr Breeze. I was the world's nicest guy, and they ruined my life for no reason.

68 Exhausted Twilight - phallen1
I think Twilight having run herself to exhaustion counts. I certainly know the feeling - I woke up super early this morning to run a race. Funny thing, I got into running roundabout the same time I first got into ponies. I always liked the idea of Twilight getting into running the same way I did.

71 Snow - Frith
Pony under the weather. The weather being a blizzard and the under part comes from the snow being neck deep. She's also not feeling herself because the snow is cold. Cold snow does that, get your hooves so cold you can feel them anymore.
