The Great and All Powerful Trixie!

The All-Powerful Trixie!

Come friends, and behold the amazing magic of the great and powerful Trixie. 

Trixie's intentions were never in the wrong place, deep down. 

If she had fallen into the trap of becoming a charlatan, it was because at first she lacked the confidence to believe that she could ever truly embody the magic that had so profoundly inspired her.

Her self-doubt was erroneous, and after several trips to Ponyville, after a few run-ins with Twilight Sparkle, and another pony named Starlight Glimmer, everything changed for the better in Trixie's life.

She was always a unicorn, she was always gifted with magic, and she always had the desire to share the wonderment with ponies everywhere. 

She can be ethically ambiguous, sometimes tone deaf to the feelings of other ponies around her, and perhaps she does not learn from the past quickly, or consider the future carefully enough.   

Had we bonked her on the head with the scepter of righteousness, had we punished her for the problems she did cause in an unimaginative fashion, and had we banned her from ever returning, all would have been lost. 

Would Starlight Glimmer, Thorax and Discord still have been able to triumph over Queen Chrysalis without Trixie's help? 

I've learned that whenever a wagon like Trixie's rolls into town, I must follow the flyer, show up at the gathering, peruse the vendors, and watch the show. 

Without the magic of the great and powerful Trixie Lulamoon, Equestria would have been impoverished, and so would we here in the human world.

Is this about some alternate timeline?

Yes and no. 

My own personal fan's head canon and its constellation of AUs have a complex relationship to the primary canon of the show. 

I like to keep my own ideas and stories respectful of the original.

I also prefer to stick to things that at least could have happened in the primary canon. 

Not always. 

I have some pretty left field AUs, as we all do.

I suppose what you're seeing and reading here is more of a meditation upon an icon. 

Trixie, like all ponies, represents certain ideas and figurations...important ones. 

I'm celebrating that.

That's mainly what this is.
