What the fuck was that episode even? · 4:07pm Apr 30th, 2016
Remember kids, if somebody doesn't like you because you were an asshole, just threaten to commit suicide and they'll be your friend again!
Why the fuck do people love Trixie so much? I mean, as if enslaving an entire town wasn't setting a good enough example...
Fug you.
Speaking more seriously, there's a ton of things in kids shows I will let slide but...
No two ways about it, they straight up said Trixie would die if she did that trick solo. And she did it anyway. So Starlight could be her friend again.
That's pretty toxic honestly.
Sorry Nick, I loved Hearthbreakers but this episode was just too far.

Well, she was possesed by some dark magic
Eh, Trixie is always over the top, she got a amulet and enslaved a town to get back at Twilight, and in this, she went over the top on flinging herself at a manticore. Seems like her norm to me.
Life's a stage to Trixie; everything must be dramatic. Everything.
I think Trixie was fine. What worries me is that Starlight has apparently not broken the habit of casual mind control. Also, apparently you can make a cake better than someone with a baking talent if you are an overpowered unicorn.
the apple bloom freak out was funny. but that was the only thing so far that has captured the spirit of ponies, at least to me. and four or so minutes for six episodes is not good enough.

My counterpoints in reverse:
Re: Cake, Magic
Re: casual mind control, arguably she is getting better... she's only doing it on a one-on-one basis rather than en-masse...
Re: attempted suicide...
I really don't have a counterpoint beyond pure incredulity at
She literally was going to go through with getting eaten with no way out of it and very obviously didn't think that Starlight would come back to stop her... and the fact that Starlight (and Twilight
) was (were) just watching morosely from the hilltop is honestly insane. Would Twilight have stepped in at the last second if Starlight hadn't? I'd like to think so, but she seemed a bit too relaxed about making amends with Starlight...
3909393 Yeah, but she's Trixie. I don't think she was suicidal so much as determined to do her act.

To be fair, a gratuitous lack of magical ethics in general and casting spells on others in particular now seems more a general unicorn cultural failing rather then just a problem with Twilight.
It's a classic move for clingy relationships.
'If you break up with me, I'll kill myself!
'.
Trixie just didn't want to be stuck in the friendzone, nevermind the former-friendzone!
