Just a pony being fabulous. Writer of vignettes, clop, experiments, a great deal of trash and the occasional gem

An excellent character study, and expressed so very much in character. Love it.

Performing really is the first and foremost thing Trixie loves. She may have said she needed to resort to rock farming to survive, but beyond food for the day she doesn't care about the money - it's all about the opportunity and privilege of being on stage. (Hence why she gets so defensive when others infringe on it.) Which indeed fits with the general perception of ponies, talents and cutiemarks - every pony wants and needs to express their unique quality, even if it isn't the most grand and profitable thing possible.

And Twilight... she's The Pony Who Matters. Trixie sees so many ponies every night, but they're just a big blurry mass. They're The Audience. They're there to look at her and admire her, and while The Audience is important, the individual members don't really stand out. But Twilight does; she managed to carve a spot for herself in Trixie's heart, and even though at first that spot was reserved for pure hate... emotions don't just go away. She matters.

Excellent read.

Pretty poetic. It could use a little bit of editing, but otherwise it does a good job of getting a very unvarnished view by Trixie on her performances and her special somepony across.

Of course, being that this is Trixie it feels so weird that everything is written in first-person and not third-person :trixieshiftleft:

I know, right? But the way people talk and the way people write are different you know? I'm sure she didn't grow up writing in the third person. Thats a learned behavior
