Hug your nearest alicorn.

Trixie has a trigonometry exam tomorrow, and she hasn't studied for it whatsoever. Of course, this is only a minor setback. Everyone knows the Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't fail!

Still, a little help would probably do her some good. Ugh, if only there was someone who could just take it for her!

...Wait.

Nonsense. The best kind of sense.

Yay, more appreciation for the human Trixie! And shenangians with counterparts are always a nice bonus, and with this Trixie the right amount of stupidity "Trixieness" was done.

As always, I appreciate any and all feedback!

Well, in that case:

Interruption are being shown via emdashes, not hyphen (hyphen are used for stuttering l-like t-this). Thus "When you said the trigonometry exam was tomorrow, did you mean tomorrow tomorrow or-" becomes "…tomorrow tomorrow or—".

It's a small detail, but why not pay attention to it, right? :pinkiecrazy:

"Greetings, Trixie! It is I, your taller and equally great and powerful human self!"

Technically, great and powerful not being capitalised is correct… but it's Trixie. She would definitely capitalise it here :trixieshiftright:

"She did what on my stage?!"

This is a more critical point, and I'm not sure if this is just personal with me liking comdey fics that go much crazier, or if my point is valid…

But I don't really like it. Now, it makes absolutely sense story wise and the complain doesn't go towards the sentence itself, but the lack of scenes towards it. With the Trixie doing math, the build-up to the final sentence is there: We see her first struggle to even get there, before she asks what cosine is. (Personally, she should've used her mouth like pony Twilight did in Rainbow Rocks, but that's just a small detail).

With the magic performance Trixie… there isn't really anything building towards it.

It's, at least personally, too vague and left too much up for the reader to imagine things. Sure, sometimes just letting the imagination run for the reader is much funnier in some cases, but here it was done too much. Maybe have Trixie here some thoughts what type of magic she wants to do, or preparing to use some gadgets before ultimately showing up on stage with a certain expectation. Then letting the reader imagine how it failed becomes funnier.

Or, even if the scenes don't get added, changing slightly the sentence would give just enough information to make the reader still fill in the gap, but towards a specific direction, for example:

She did what to my stage?!

Here, we know something happened to what, and this small detail would make it work much better imo.

Still, these are just small technical points I'm making. And I indeed appreciate that there was another fic done for the human counterpart of Trixie. After all, there is only one answer to everything:

Trixe, the Great and Powerful.

Didn’t know I needed this until I read it. Thanks.

They maybe the identical counterparts, but are differences versions of themselves.

Congrats on your 99th story and 940 followers, one more to go and make it a good one (thousand%).

Merry Christmas ⛄🎁🎄❄️☃️

Trixie is best at trigobobetry!

Now I wonder what Starlight said when pony Trixie tried to rope her into this...

This feels like something right out of the show.

Sunset: let this be a lesson for those who want to use the portal
DONT!

Awesome chapter. Would absolutely fit as an episode.

Awesome sauce! Love the shenanigans.

This is the sort of story I'll likely come across in three or four years, think it sounds interesting, then find that, to my surprise, I had already read it. Then I get to enjoy it all over again and find out why I liked it in the first place.

:pinkiecrazy: Don't tell me Human Trixie had an accident on Pony Trixie's stage while trying to figure out magic.

Some truly fun Trixie-related shenanigans with a good lesson about taking responsibility included. This could have passed for an EQG episode, honestly. Well done writing this!

Trixie doing Trixie things.

What we all love to see.

Lol Trixie being lazy / bad at school! Wooow! :rainbowlaugh:

Reminds me of the Trixie seen in the sequels of https://www.fimfiction.net/story/316104/tantabus-mk-ii

So, the magic that Pony!Trixie does doesn't need division, at least! Nice Celestia-s!

Big questions about human!Sunset, indeed! Magic travelling between universes is already dangerous, best not to toss area spells through.

Now I need to know what happened on stage

Wow, why didn't I read this earlier? I agree with overlord-flinx : "Nonsense. The best kind of sense". After all, all life's truths are hidden within nonsense.And who knows, perhaps some seemingly nonsensical scheme like Trixie's could actually be the key to her success. After all, the most unexpected decisions sometimes turn out to be the most brilliant. I wonder if she used https://essays.edubirdie.com/english-assignment-help to prepare assignments for school.As for the life truths hidden in nonsense, there's something to be said for that too. Think about fairy tales and fables -- they often use fantastical elements to convey important lessons about the world. Or even humor -- it can often highlight the absurdity in our society or in ourselves in a way that makes us pause and reflect.
