If you're going to give a speech, it makes sense to know what your audience is like - what they're thinking about, how they're feeling, and so on.
Theoretically, this means that a spell that lets you scan the surface of the thoughts of ponies - just for brief emotional impulses and surface thoughts, and all that - should help anypony give a better speech. I mean, getting a peek inside the heads of everypony present should be strictly a good thing, right?
Right?
Inspired by the description of a story. No, really. If i was given a penny for all the things in life that i found disproportionately funny, I'd have enough copper to provide electricity to all of Tokyo, and that's even given how little copper pennies actually have these days.
My heartfelt thanks to Majin Syeekoh for proofreading this, and also for not suing my butt. You're the best, dude.
Is this supposed to be incomplete?
7363223 good catch. thanks.
7363275 No problem.
Well now, see, it makes perfect sense if you think about it.
Flurry Heart shares a powerful link with the Crystal Heart.
The Crystal Heart in turn is linked with every pony who underwent a crystaling. It draws power from this link, from the love ponies share; the more of it the better.
So what would the Crystal Heart want?
More ponies.
The mother spreads the kind of love that creates affectionate bonds between ponies, the daughter will spread the physical kind. The one that results in many new births.
Perfect.
I'm trying so hard not to laugh right now.
I love this story so much.
I kind of wish there was a sequel that took place a few years in the future, after Flurry's learned how to talk.
I don't what to say about this, but I didn't liked it.
It's nice to see a name other than "Our town" used
Loved this one. I would totally be on board for a sequel if you ever decide to make one.

So I guess the purer she is......
Worst character ever.
I changed my mind. Worst character ever. Also, worst baby ever.

Stalliongrad is, fanonically speaking, a fortified Russian-based town in far-off Equestria with conditions equivalent to the USSR. Having that tiny little camp of shitty matchstick houses referred to as Stalliongrad is kind of fandom whiplash. xD
Wait until Flurry gets into the minds of other ponies, not just Starlight...I wonder what screwed up feelings would show up in somone like Spike, Rarity, her mother Cadence, and yes, even ones like Princess Twilight or Princess Celestia...
damn...
Well, this was delightfully insane, though you're very sloppy about capitalizing "I"s. Aside from that, great fun. Starlight really needs to stop thinking with her horn.
in your long-desc you said "Father" and then "her".
That was crazy funny, and mildly disturbing that a baby has those thoughts.
Ponies are born already fully sapient?
Headcanon... KInd of accepted?...
Eh.
7563465 I've chalked it up to the fact that Flurry is an alicorn and that enhanced her awareness, I suppose.
