Jelfes said...

Trixie keeps getting more adorable!

obsidian.sword said...

Yay Trixie! Here's to the hope that she gets more screen time in S2.

orlando-gol said...

Wow, that... changes everything.

DoctorWhooves said...

i would hate Twilight too,but im sure Celesias heart would be big enough for 2 sutdents

like more the comic where Trixie is actually Luna hehe, Trixie=Trickster godess lol

bronyguy said...

Dammit Twilight, why'd you have to go and ruin Trixie's life...twice!

storytellerlio said...

Let's hope she's back for S2

Celestia said...

Oh come on. why does everypony think i'm so mean?
It would have been possible to have more than one student.

*cries*

(stop making me feel sorry for Trixie)

Electro Madness said...

Damnit, now I feel sorry for Trixie D:

Also, I'm certain everyone has noticed her teeth are miscolored, right?

Angelo27 said...

There goes Trollestia ruining someponies life for no good reason.

Strangely enough i had always imagined that something like this had happened.

TheSweetestBelle said...

Oh... Oh my...

Seth, Filly 1 took a poll and a lot of us want Trixie back in season two, so why do you torment us with such sadness?

Timber said...

Grrr my phone wont let me load it... freezes my browser every time.

Silfir said...

I think Trixie ruined her own life. She wasn't willing to accept that Celestia would have more than one personal student. And when she didn't get her way, she made the decision on her own to run away. That's my interpretation, at least.

r0ninKai said...

Trixie should be Twilight's rival.

Jimmytrius said...

I would totally "CANON-ize" that story :0

Poor Trixie T___T

James Corck said...

I actually see her origin story like this! Good work.

Arkalidor said...

Actually, Trixie couldn't stay and study under Celestia because rather than hatching the egg, she tried replacing it with a fake hatched egg, but you can't trick the judges with smoke and fake eggs.

Municipal Engines said...

This comic makes me think that this Celestia will abandon Twilight if a new, better magician comes into the picture.

Although, Trixie is nowhere near powerful enough to grab the Princess' eye. She'd be an excellent magician, of course, and probably got a nice mentor, but not Celestia.

And I am totally not biased because Twilight is my favourite pony.

ShadeTail said...

Gah. This just annoys me. Yeah, let's all have some artificial sympathy for Trixie. Nothing like this happened, I think. She was always just a fake showpony from the beginning.

John Savant said...

This made me like Trixie sooo much more.

Entity said...

Well. There is always the possibility to grow. With power and hunger for vengeance. Not as a person ;)

Fleymevas said...

This comic image must be HUGE because I can't even get a glimps of it without my iPod crashing to the home screen.

Romelion Alarconis said...

Comic has been edited for color, and cutie mark errors.

bronydash said...

I had the same problem on my iPod, but I got it to work eventually. Wow, I kinda feel sorry for Trixie.

Lazy Luna said...

After realizing I have to wait for the follow-up of the premier episode I didn't think I could get more sad...

Well Seth, you did it again.

Xort said...

@ShadeTail

Umad, bro? Seriously, chill. It's fanon, and could easily have happened if a few details were tweaked or a bit of explaining were done in-universe. Is the existence of this comic hurting you?

No?

Then why get annoyed at it?

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor said...

... Trevor does NOT approve of Celes's actions!

*Has read so many Trixie stories that he's not sure which one is the most moving*

keneticpest said...

Need some ice for that burn Trixie?

mrscrib said...

Oh, the amount of effort parts of the fandom go to redeem Trixie (and even Blueblood) by turning THEM into the victims. Really, why can they not be just bad?

Rated-R PonyStar said...

That...would make a good story.

SparkleFun said...

My only problem with this is that Trixie doesn't act like she knows Twilight in the episode. Also the implications about Celestia.

Jaggo said...

I always liked Trixie's character but for different reasons. This just changed everything though. I like her a whole lot more with this piece of depth. I hope we get to see her in the second season sometime.

Lindil said...

@mrscrib

You got it all wrong. Trixie does not need redeeming, for she didn't do anything wrong.

Solarn said...

@mrscrib
Because it's boring and uninspired and sympathetic characters are much more interesting than plain villains.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@DoctorWhooves

"Unfortunately, I can only have one protege. That is why you two must fight to the death."

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@SparkleFun

Well its not as bad as the "A Test of Strength" noir comic where Celestia verifies Twilight's magical talent by sending a spec-ops team to kill her parents.

Lunar Solace said...

Poor Trixie, that doesn't seem like the Celestia we know, also I think Trixie's had enough blue-raspberry slushie.

Ardashir said...

@DoctorWhooves Celestia can share, and Twilight can share, but I don't think Trixie can. Which just makes her sadder.

Bosstone said...

Meh. I'm generally okay with trying to make the villains sympathetic, but not by making the heroes villainous.

Dann The Yoshi said...

That explains her backstory at least.

GameFreak said...

To all of the people wishing Trixie would be in season 2:
SHE IS -> http://i.imgur.com/tgey2.png

DJB123 said...

I think trixie is more fun if she doesn't have a reason to be annoying/arrogant. I like to think she's just that kind of pony.

Wierdplatformer said...

Well, we'll see what happens in season 2.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Trixie shut down my internet for a good thirty minutes. Only another reason to despise her.

And then the comic finally loaded.

...

BlueJay Chill said...

I recommend updating the post so that it links to the corrected version posted by @Romelion Alarconis.
Just sayin'

cheesa said...

Twi made a really weird face in that one panel. o_o

Octavia said...

Aww, poor Trixie. I feel sad for her. :(

And Twi's face in that one panel is hilariously weird.

Romelion Alarconis said...

Thanks Seth for updating the comic to its final form!

Whitbane said...

Damn it, Celestia, no wonder Trixie hates Twilight!

T.O. Brony said...

The comic, it explains everything!

ShadeTail said...

@Xort

Excuse you? I'll thank you to keep your condescending lectures to yourself. Why should I *not* get annoyed by a cheap and heavy-handed attempt to make a not-so-nice person into the victim of the piece?

Arix said...

This might make me feel bad for Trixie, but honestly I just can't see Celestia acting like this. That rather large bit of out-of-character-ness (it's a word) just prevents me from feeling anything about this. Sure, there's the explanation that Celestia was explaining to Trixie that she'd be willing to take her on, she'd just have to share the spotlight with Twilight, and Trixie wouldn't accept that...but that just makes her seem like an even bigger jerk.

Besides which, I'm in the camp that says sometimes the antagonists are more fun when they're not tragic or sympathetic, they're just plain jerkasses.

Nickel Gunner said...

The artist said that Celestia wasn't choosing Twilight over Trixie; Rather, she wanted to tutor both personally, at the same time, as equals. Trixie wan't willing to share the spotlight with anypony though, she felt betrayed, so she ran away.

bigblogofsmallstories said...

Okay, good. As long as the point wasn't some more of that Trollestia nonsense.

Moonshine said...

Going by the artist's story, I have no more sympathy than I did starting out (which is exactly none). She's a selfish, stuck-up, arrogant ass. Excuses don't really change that- it's her choice to act like that.

(I really hope she doesn't turn up in season 2. Once was more than enough.)

DoubleMallow said...

EWWWWWWWWWWWW TRIXIE STORY. DO NOT WANT.

DoubleMallow said...

@Moonshine
YOU. You are a true pony among bronies.

RexMachina said...

Wouldn't It Be cool If They Had Trixie back along with Gilda and they would make some sort of Negative 6(as Opposed to the Mane/Main 6)with other antagonist like characters that would probably appear in season 2

Derny said...

I don't like her but sad D:

Germanbrony said...

Great and Powerful pony is best pony.

FlashAj325 said...

I wonder how many people hate me for LOVING Trixie's misfortune?
(I wonder how many people realize this is the... [SPOILER] end to The Regal Dream? I bet you read the spoiler and didn't read the fanfic. LOLUMAD)

ultra8 said...

I can see this as a possible backstory for her. No doubt she's going to be even more pissed once she realizes that the fillie and Twilight are one and the same.

Devlin115 said...

Why am I starting to hate Twilight ?
