Greetings, admirers, fans, and ponies in desperate need of friendship advice! It is I, The Great and Powerful Trixie, here to impart my endless wisdom upon you. Friendship can seem tricky (no pun intended), but luckily for you, Trixie has mastered friendship effortlessly! Just ask my many, many friends! Well, ask my one very close friend, Starlight Glimmer, who practically counts as a dozen friends anyway.
Yes indeed, Trixie is a master of all things friendship as well as magic! Is there a better pony out there than I? You'd befriend Trixie wouldn't you? Of course you would. Not like that stupid Twilght Sparkle and her silly fake friendship. Nopony would ever want that!
Now bask in the greatest advice ever given to your simple monkey brain. Learn all about making friends below!
First, always remember to speak about yourself often—everypony loves confidence. Humility is overrated; Trixie herself has never seen any value in it. Ponies will flock to you when you remind them regularly just how amazing you truly are. If they seem hesitant, they're probably just overwhelmed by your brilliance... give them time.
Next, learn the art of giving compliments. Everypony loves praise, especially when it comes from a pony as important and insightful as Trixie. Of course, you should sprinkle in mentions of how you could probably do better. But not everypony can match the greatness of Trixie. Be generous, but gently remind them that you're still the best. That is the most healthy friendship dynamic after all, with them beneath you~
Also, never underestimate the power of grand gestures! Want everypony to like you? Perform a dazzling feat of magic in the middle of Ponyville! If, by chance, your trick accidentally unleashes a minor catastrophe, simply claim it was part of the act. Friendship grows stronger through shared adversity, or at least, that's what Starlight assures me.
Finally, the single most important friendship rule from Trixie: if things ever get awkward (and trust me, they won't! But hypothetically)..., always remind everypony that Twilight Sparkle has made far bigger friendship mistakes. Ponies love bonding over a common rival and Twilight Sparkle used to have no friends at all! What a loser right?
If somepony foolishly rejects your clearly superior offer of friendship, or worse, your carefully prepared dramatic magic show... fear not! The Great and Powerful Trixie believes revenge is best served dazzlingly. Simply put on an even bigger, flashier, and louder show directly outside their home, preferably at an inconvenient time like sunrise. Let everypony witness your unmatched greatness, so your rejecter is filled with regret and admiration (and mild annoyance).
Just remember, revenge isn't about hurting anypony; it's merely about teaching them that nopony rejects Trixie, or at least, nopony does so quietly!
Follow these tips everypony, and soon you'll be just as beloved as Trixie herself! (Well, almost. Let's not set impossible standards.) Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go remind Starlight Glimmer just how lucky she is to have Trixie as her best friend. Ta-ta!
