@Ciaran
These three knuckleheads would definitely be entertaining to hang around with :P

@Badumsquish
In all sincerity, every time we’ve seen Ponyville it’s always looked like a place where most only survive for a confused and baffling month then are wiped out by some horrific accident or monster from the beyond. There’s so many things that happen that remind me; “Oh, yeah, this is a town run by horses.”

Seems like a great place to retire!

I mean, come on. Spitfire is the Commandant of the Wonder Bolts Training Base. Friendship Is Magic, and it’s Magic Too that anypony survives to tell the tale.

Nice drawing by the way. 10/10 would date every pony in the image. Maybe actually have IRL but in their guise of humans

@Ciaran
To my recollection, all of them have had at least one. Applejack is the least guilty of anything, but she was just as responsible for almost killing Yona as Rainbow Dash would have been. So, multiple counts of child endangerment that could have been negligent homicide. Basically, it’s VERY good they’re friends with the person who has absolute power over that country :P

@Badumsquish
Again, full agreement. I mean, Rainbow Dash blew up the freaking weather factory.

Now that I think of it, haven’t all of the main 6 been responsible for one kind of horrific disaster or another at some point?

@Ciaran
Say whatever you want about Lightning Dust, but she actually admitted it was wrong to endanger the Mane Six. The three times Dashie just wanton endangered innocent ponies for entirely selfish reasons, she blamed other people for her actions (Wonderbolts Academy), dodged the blame because her friends benefited from the outcome (Tanks For The Memories), or lied about her actions and intentions to get what she wanted out of it (Non-Compete Clause). Folks can think Lightning Dust is a bad pony all they want, but by every metric that Lightning Dust is bad Rainbow Dash is worse :P

@Badumsquish
Oh, fully agreed.

@horses are fuckin weird
I scaled the entire Mane Six on a bad day worse than either of those two. I’ve always been pretty open about how Trixie and Lightning Dust really aren’t bad people, and how almost everything they’ve ever done “wrong” was the directly or indirectly the fault of others and that they were just unfairly blamed for it XD

@Background Pony #1D1C
@Just Wayne
I like to think she did XD

@genervt
@Ciaran
Rainbow Dash has done what Lightning Dust did, that is endanger innocent bystanders via negligence and only caring about herself, three times now. Being friends with a princess rules, I guess :P

@Ciaran
That did happen.

@genervt
But at least you’re not bitter …

Careful. Or Dusty will go Ursa Minor on you two.

Oops.

@Background Pony #1D1C
There is a lot of fanmade stuff with Trixie and Maud Pie being close, but I don’t think there is much for Limestone Pie and Marble Pie.

i wonder if trixie got along with pinkie pie’s sisters when she worked on the rock farm?

@Badumsquish
Trixie bring trixie

@Badumsquish
I respect that. XD

This will ended in atomic wedgie

@Badumsquish
The best way I’ve thought of it is that the easiest way to deconstruct MLP’s story, characters and world is to take what Trixie’s been through at face value and extrapolating from there.

Does your continuity have any sort of ‘Someone from the Mane 6 or one of the princesses does the bare minimum and acknowledges that what she’s been through was bad and that she’s not going crazy for being sad/frustrated/angry about it.’

I’m a sucker for characters learning that the bare minimum is incredibly important to the healing process.

Damn, Trixie must’ve taken cooking lessons from Sweetie Belle, if you catch my drift.

@Background Pony #8AD4
And Rainbow Dash has done even worse than she has, but I get the feeling you weren’t gonna mention that.

The best part is Trixie doesn’t know Lightning Dust. She doesn’t know OF Lightning Dust. She’s not doing this for “payback”, or because she thinks Lightning Dust is bad, or to start a fight, or even to give Rainbow Dash a cheap laugh. She’s just being Trixie: she just saw some pony wearing a goofy set of tights and yelled “HAHA LOOKIT THIS GUY!” XD

@Background Pony #5242
Honestly, she’s kind of not. Like, she even owned up to how it was wrong of her to endanger Dash’s friends, and while it might have been disingenuous it really wasn’t her fault that happened. She basically totally moved on with her life, which honestly shows she’s really not that bad a person at heart. Dash has always been the grudge holder, and Dash is the one who instigated the whole conflict. Especially ironic that she’s giving Lightning Dust shit about being dangerous to the kids under her care, since this happened a week after Dash and Applejack almost killed Yona on a field trip by only caring about themselves. Glass houses and all that, Dashie :P

@Hyperjade
Good old Trixie. Always reactive, and every bad thing she’s ever done has been done worse by a member of the Mane Six, yet she’s the jerk. 100% because the show is told from the perspective of the Mane Six. You could take Ali Mills’ quote about Johnny and Daniel from Cobra Kai, and apply it to them:

@Background Pony #8AD4
Honestly, neither of them are bad folks overall. If you were to lay out a spectrum, of 0 being good, 5 being Mane Six on a bad day, and 10 being Season 9 Discord, Trixie would be like a 2, maybe 3 tops, and Lightning Dust a 1 :P

@Clever Clovers
the two headed alicorn roll their eyes and watch clover

Fusion Ring? Ouch

Sweet Celestia, Trixie.
You didn’t merely burn Lightning Dust with that quip.
You incinerated Lightning Dust with that quip.

Rainbow Dash ain’t the only one starting to grow a liking to you right now, sweetie. Keep making amazing burns like that and I can see us becoming good friends in the near future.

@Background Pony #E803
They had a comic pairing the two together. It turned out surprisingly well

Funny that its Trixie making fun of her considering she has done much worse. Glass houses.

@Hyperjade
I will enhance the pain:
A Discord/Trixie/Thorax/Starlight reunion episode, on the premise “Trixie’s Stage Show Version Of The Story Of That Time She Saved The World*”

*_{also some other people and I guess the princesses and etc.}

Go full The Trixie* Show with an altered intro, have Discord/Starlight/even Thorax once or twice roasting her providing helpful commentary.
