I'm not one to comment usually, but seeing this picture really inspired me. I envisioned a story where a young pony (maybe a human reborn as a pony, or just a very self aware colt or filly) earns their cutiemark with the special talent of being emotionally wise/resilient. Essentially, this young pony would be incredibly insightful on matters of the heart, whether it be a tragic event, or enjoying the simple things in life, like the beauty of a sunrise.
I'd love to see a story featuring this young sage wise beyond their years being an emotional cornerstone to all the ponies around them, even their own parents. Maybe with a name like 'Still Heart' or 'Timely Word' referencing their ability to say the most insightful thing appropriate for that moment.
Here's a scene I imagine this character in that most would be completely distraught in:
[bq]
> He sat outside in the front yard of his home, listening to the sounds of the morning birds and watching the sunrise. Still Heart was only 6 years old, but he took pleasure in the beauty of the morning. The door to his home opened and his father approached to join him. It had only been a week since the tragety.
>
> "Still, how... how are you doing?" his father asked, his voice tinged in sadness.
>
> "I'm alright, dad," Still replied, his tone content.
>
> "Y-you know you can talk to me about a-anything, right?"
>
> His father's voice indicated he was on the verge of breaking down into tears.
>
> "Of course, dad! You know you can talk to me too, right?"
>
> He look away from the sunrise to his father sitting to his right. His father looked miserable, with tears pooling in his eyes, head hung.
>
> "Of- of course, son. I know I..."
>
> And that's when he broke down, sobbing softly with his head hung low.
>
> Still Heart turned and stood on his hind legs so he could hug his father around the neck, his cheek pressed against his father's.
>
> "I miss mom, too, dad. It hurts, her not being with us anymore. I miss her hugs and her kisses. I miss her food. I miss her tucking me in at night. I miss her singing. But I know that she still is watching over us. I know that she would want us to remember her, and not be sad, but happy about all the good memories we shared.
>
> "It hurts, missing all of the things she did because of how much she loved us. But I know that I'll never forget her love for you or me, dad."
>
> His father would have been crying harder, but he simply didn't have it in him, given all of the grieving he had been doing for the past five days.
>
> "I know we'll be alright, and that that's what mom would want us to do; remember her love for us and not be sad. She'll always be with us as long as we have her in our hearts."[/bq]
I know, it's prolly shite, but I wanted to get it out of my system. I desperately wish someone would make a full fanfic featuring the life of the young pony as he grew and shared life experiences with the characters of MLP.
