Not much to say. I read stories, try to support the ones that touch me. Now I'm starting to give more. It's a good feeling
Trixie was a showmare. Everything about her was about furthering her natural talent for illusionary magic. So when a certain purple unicorn shunned her for... her just doing her job... why would they do that? Trixie never wanted to hurt anycreature... can't they all see it's just an act?!

No idea where this is going but Love it so far!
What does that mean?
I wonder what would have happened if she died?
10822384
It means that some ponies should shut up, essentially saying they should glue their mouths shut as opposed to wearing lipstick
10822413
I'd have much less of a story, probably
10821578
Awe, thanks! Next chapter is nearly done now!
10822584
I think I understand the glue part, but what about the lipstick part?
10822586
True.
10822593
Author was tired and couldn't think of a good insult. Lipstick came to mind for some reason
10822595
Ok, that’s understandable.
That amulet must have did something to her brain.
Hey, liking it so far. Maybe add some diversity between the two sides of Trixie though? A different text color or a different line each time since it's kinda two different minds talking?
This sounds a bit too... Proper for Trixie, personally.
You know, it somehow never occured to me that Trixie should have been arrested for what she did. I shall be following this with interest.
10823898
Great idea. Different colors, that is. I just don't know how to do that yet... Experimentation might ensue
Wait, wasn’t she in the crystal empire last chapter?
And they say trixie has an ego?
What does that mean?
What does she mean?
10825649
No, she was in Canterlot General Hospital, Princess Cadence just came in to arrest her.
When a kid doesn't have their parents growing up, it is going to leave scars. Even as people grow up, and understand that things weren't their fault, it's hard to get rid of the guilt. Kids naturally default to "Did I do something wrong?" When their parents are distressed, or in this case, missing. They don't know how to think otherwise. If a kid grows up in that mindset, then it's hard to get over it. I'm not saying Trixie killed her parents, but in her mind she feels like she's responsible.
Trixie's clever, and if the pony who arrested you comes into your cell and asks you questions, it's usually not for basic curiosity.
And Trixie just wants to be a travelling magician again, that's the job she loves.
10826282
Why princess cadence?
So that’s what she meant when she said she got it in her head but not in her heart?
Oh ok.
10826312
Cadence's area of expertise is feeling, and emotions. They want to make sure that Trixie is actually sorry for what she did, and that she's not planning on experimenting with dark magic again.
10826334
Ohh. Ok
How is that possible?
Damn. How long has she been there?
She is definitely celestia’s niece.
10834643
Itimplies that she's being teasing, and playing around as opposed to actually angry
10834781
I guess that kinda makes sense.
Mrm
10834799
In other words, it's a more interesting way to say
"Rainbow Dash snapped at her, though Trixie could tell she wasn't serious."
"Rainbow Dash snapped at her, though Trixie saw laughter in her eyes."
Just sounds better, and rolls off the tongue easier. In addition to that, it's more pleasing to the eye.
10834643
Around half a year. I wasn't planning on saying it in the fic, but I was going off of it having been a half a year. That way the dynamic between Trixie And Rainbow Dash, as well as the dynamic between Cadence and Trixie would feel more natural.
I'm... not the greatest at writing filler dialogue, so this was my workaround.
It'll likely never be mentioned exactly in the story, but it'll be implied that it was a less than a year.
But I had half a year in my mind when writing the characters.
I'm glad it seems that way! I was honestly a little worried about my portrayal of her in this chapter. Glad to see it seems to fit with her character.
10834839
Mlem
Heh. I didn't even realize I'd passed 10k words last chapter...
This really started out as a project for me to do a deep-dive into Trixie as a character. I never quite got the general dislike she got from the fanbase.
Now it's something much bigger, I have plans. Lots of them!
Hope you all stick with me through what will likely be a wonky update schedule.
Thank you so much for being here on this journey with me!
So she not only has a place to stay but also a job.
Why did he quit?
Did he threaten to cook him in his next meal?
10847214
Did she get hate?
10847260
Sometimes people just quit. No work ethic, didn't like the workplace, found a better job, just got lazy, multitudes of reasons.
I honestly didn't pay much attention, as that's exactly what I'd do in real life if somebody just up and quit after calling in last second.
It's happened before, you're left shorthanded and usually screwed by unexpected business, and you just gotta deal with it.
10847261
Occasionally. Not all the time, but more often than not
10847309
Yikes
10847310
Really?
Nearly match? How is that possible?
Why?
I thought they met in ponyville.
I thought she was going next week.
10855290
I'm on phone, so I won't be able to quote things lol.
But most ponies have colors in their mane and tail match, they generally follow the same color pattern too.
As for gears...
Again, artistic expression. Trixie was just saying that she could see that Caramel was thinking.
And yes, technically they met in Ponyville. But Trixie and Rainbow only really started talking in prison. So, Trixie doesn't consider seeing Rainbow in Ponyville as meeting her.
Ah, yeah. I meant to say "upcoming week" not "next week" fixed now, danke
10855359
I know that, but she said it nearly matched.
Thinking about what?
So she’s leaving now?
10855395
For now, yeah. But she'll be back at the cafe.
It's her job now.
As for the tail, I was picturing just a single blue stripe from the base of the tale, and following through to the end.
If it was a two dimensional pony though... he'd probably just have it colored half blue
10855400
Ok, I guess that makes sense.
That’s actually pretty good for a magician.
How long did it take her to get there?
Honestly, I wouldn’t care.
I don’t see why she wants to work hard to earn their forgiveness.
10860648
While Trixie doesn't have the sheer power of Twilight, she did work as a showpony putting on magic shows for, what seemed to be years.
It was around a day's journey. Meaning probably eight or so hours.
I wouldn't either. But Trixie is a showmare first and foremost, and she works in a café. The way a customer or show-attendee reacts is directly indicative of how much she'd earn. Even if she didn't care to begin with, she would learn to care. This'll be explored more in-depth later in the story.
Trixie wants to make amends, make up for what she did to them. The only way that's possible is if they forgive her. I'll be exploring this more in-depth in the story, and likely in its sequel too.
10861106
Sequel?
10861173
I have an idea for a sequel, yes.
Probably won't be as feel-good as this one
10861479
What do you mean by that?
10861527
I intended this story to be pretty lighthearted for the most part.
There's a few heavy bits here and there, but overall, I wanted a nice story that explored Trixie as a character
10861551
Oh ok.
Happy Fourth everyone!
Had a small bought of writer's block, but I'm over that now!
Hope you all liked the chapter!
Thestrals count?
Talk about “tough love”.
Ok, didn’t expect that.
Don’t you have magic? If she tries something just lift her up.
Good and nice story, excellent work.
10889478
Thank you so much!
I'm glad you like it!
