Your better half doesn't have to be glamorous to be the one that completes you, it's what is on the inside that matters the most. Plus, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to showcase a silly pony meme for today's header either, you know?
As we enter the weekend we managed to bring in a total of 53 ponies which brings us up to a total of 432 ponies in total! Things may be slower this year, but keep it up everyone!
Now, as we get closer to our Makeup Day, some of you may be finding the pace a bit stressful, especially if you have been keeping up with every prompt so far. It's ok to feel some strain when taking on a challenge like this and always remember you don't have to do every prompt, you can always pick and choose or wait for a makeup day. Still, I know what this sort of pressure can feel like and it can drive you a little mad over time so I figured a little bit of a chance to vent might be nice by having you all Draw a pony not thinking straight / Draw a pony losing their mind.

2 The First Pride Was A Riot - KiwiPLUR
It's pride month and a prompt about better halves, so I took the opportunity to steal someone else's meme and remake it with ponies. As is ancient brony tradition.

4 2024 ATG #7: MLP Fanart: Two whole ponies - Blackblade360
Here's a drawing for Prompt #7, Draw a pony with their better half / Draw a pony finding someone special In this artwork, I drew both Heartbeat and Stone Wave kissing each other, showing their loving relationship to each other, romantically and um..I'll keep the description pg 13 here just in case. Heartbeat and Stone Wave have been looking out for each other ever since they met, mentally and physically. In the FoE world, they were fouls when they first met. In the Rainbow01 Au world that I also created and yet to show (Though this artwork can be implied this au as well): they both met each other during their workforce at an military base (It's a long and WIP au lore XD). Heres the Derpibooru link: https://derpibooru.org/images/3378798

Kayla Goldenwing, my OC, and her better half (mostly her everything), Rainbow Dash. The two are a couple for a while and then married after the whole event in S9 Ep 25.

Using DMB songs two days in a row is probably a hard foul, but this was the best song title/pic idea that came to my mind.

Starring Skywishes and Starcatcher from the G3 "Dancing in the Clouds" special! I heard that they make a neat pair. This is my first time drawing G3 ponies.

26 Yona and Sandbar - Mintwhistle
Figured I'd draw these two, since I've never done Yona digitally before and I wanted a bit more variety in terms of characters. Thought of drawing some food in their thought bubble, but I just went with a simple heart ("better half").

29 Two Love Birds (NATG 2024 Day 7) - IronYoshi
When polar hippogriffs nuzzle their beaks with each other, it's meant as a friendly greeting. But for the hippogriffs of Mount Aris, it's a little more special. Perhaps Lilly and Icy might be more than friends?

Cookie and Syntax aren't strangers to folks thinking they're a couple, but their bond is purely platonic, and despite the banter they throw at each other, they truly are the best of friends. =)

40 Meeting of the Mares - Frith
Pony who is also her better half (which half?) finds a really _special_ somepony. That's a butterfly winged dragonfly cutie mark and yes, the special somepony has four 3 R's cutie marks. Special pony is extra special. Unicorn? Pegasus? Headless pony? What the hay is going on here? You tell me. This is not the Newbie Fanfic Training Grounds. That would be happening in Alt Universe Equestria Daily, right over there.

Just a big, white wolf and a green pony with dreadlocks. Why not? It's a better ship than her with Zephyr. Treehugger's way out of THAT guy's league.

44 Better halves - Termyotter
I don't see what the problem is here. They wanted a better half, and that's what they got. Exactly half.

50 "The Firm Foundation" - Emerald Light
After all of the ooey-gooey romantic feelings have subsided, what holds a relationship together is its foundation--and these ponies have the best! I struggled a bit with Daisy's tale; I am still trying to improve my mane and pose repertoire. "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13:6-8a NIV)

Sometimes that someone special you need is a mentor to help guide or train you through your journey. And who better than the top student and undisputed fount of knowledge on all things? Though... it does hurt the confidence one has in their skill when they don't have good field practice with it.
