For some, friendship is pretty black and white, or in this case apple or pear-shaped. Of course, after this lesson is when she charges you 2000 bits in class fees.
Good evening everyone and welcome to another day of the NATG! For tonight we managed to bring in 73 ponies which now brings us up to 920 ponies in total.
So far, most of our prompts for our artists have been pretty mundane, but the world of Equestria is pretty magical and all sorts of strange things have happened in it and will continue to happen for a long time to come. That's why for today's prompt I wanted to give our artists a bit of strange phenomenon to examine by having them Draw a pony foretelling the future / Draw a pony experiencing deja vu.
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!

I have yet to decide if Blazewing and Pecan Sandy would ever appear in the same stories that Tough Cookie and Syntax would, but if they did, I know they'd get along very well. =)

15 2023 NATG day 11 - A Pony Sharing a Friendship Lesson - C_||_R
Skin&Bone's mannerisms tended to either intrigue or put on edge those ponies who encountered her. In Cirrus' and Skin&Bone's wanderings they at one point encountered an alleged doctor who was adamant he could prove Skin&Bones' sapience. Ultimately, however, he decided to just take her sapience on faith alone, just as her friends always did. I often feel doubtful that I will come up with what to draw for the prompts, and this one was no exception; however I felt taking Lauren Faust's interpretation of what Feeling Pinkie Keen was intended to be was what I wanted to go after, since that was an episode I always felt uneasy about.

18 Cheesiest Thing I've Ever Drawn - Lorewolf / Docard
I write Treehugger as having accidentally left Equestria when searching for the portal that the Breezies enter from. She spent nearly a decade in California as a human, and when she found her way back to Equestria, many decades had passed. Tree was actually born roughly the same year as Granny Smith. Lore's not from Equus but hopes to retire there.

19 Lost in Labyrinth - EveryDayDashie
"Dashie, EveryDayDashie..." I was immediately startled by the unexpected threatening call of my name, thinking about escaping from such "horror" and returning to the realm with which I'm more familiar. But that was useless and not worth the effort, for I later failed to discover an exit that would save me from this menacing territory once and for all. I was scared, petrified, and paralyzed with fear. "Um... is there anything wrong?" The pony asked, while her silhouette gradually faded to reveal her true identity. It was Rainbow Dash. "I'm so glad you're finally here, my new friend! I heard about you from Twilight Sparkle that you're a talented and wholesome musician, right?" Rainbow Dash continued. "Um... yes. Thanks for that, but is there any reason or crucial mission that you bring me to this weird place?" I questioned with confusion. "Of course, Dashie, but it's a long story... a friendship problem... I'll explain to you later. We don't have much time!"

A pony sharing a friendship lesson? And you know who taught friendship lesson long before ponies? "The Adventures of Leopold the Cat" is a classic Soviet cartoon, featuring a friendly and kind-hearted cat and two mischevous mice, trying to create some troubles for him. "??????, ??????? ???? ??????! ("Folks, let's live in peace!") is Leopold's catch phrase which he sums up an episode with and accepts apologies from mice for the havoc they've wrought. Well, that surely called for ponification!

Being yourself is more of a challenge when you can look like anyone, so maybe he's more of an expert on the idea. That doesn't necessarily mean an interesting class though.

42 Relapse - CattyTheArtCat
Speedran this since I nearly forgot and the deadline is like 2 hours away for me lmao. Decided to do something based on something that happened irl with my husband last year. He struggled big time with his alcohol addiction, and had a horrible relapse one time. Ever since, though, I was patient with him and taught him ways to combat it. Now he's been almost 10 months clean, I think. I lost count, he's been clean for so long. I'm so proud of him, he always said he couldn't go a week let alone a month. I'm so fucking proud of him.

47 Celestia Meets Artistic Spirit - Ebony Crystal
Ebony had gotten a letter from Princess Celestia, inviting her to Canterlot for the weekend, and she thought it was high time her boyfriend, Artistic Spirit had met her mentor, so she invited him to come too, with little Sunshine as well. Once they got to the castle, Artistic smiled in awe as he saw the Princess for the first time, bowing in respect as Ebony introduced him, the princess' eyes lighting up as she saw what a gentle pony he was, as well as how adorable little Sunshine was, the kitten nuzzling her legs lovingly without a second thought. Ebony had a feeling this would be a fun weekend for the four of them~ :3

58 Heavy Is the Head That Wears the Crown - Optimistic Neighsayer
* sigh * I have ruled for over a thousand years, aiming to bring harmony to my subjects, and yet... classism, racism, greed, animosity... it is just as worse now as it was then. What am I doing so wrong?"

59 I Am There For You - SOENJAY
I ran out of time on this prompt. I panicked and resorted to music. Buying Huey Lewis and the News' album "Weather" is one of the last things I remember before lockdown. I went into the local dead mall which still had an FYE... somehow... and I asked the girl working there if they had it. I bought it on release day (valentine's day 2020) and I've loved the album ever since. Huey's voice is something I've always loved and I truly wish he could still sing live so I could experience it. I'll always have his recordings though.
