It doesn’t take much. There’s very little financial margin for error in street performing. Doesn’t matter how talented you are, and it doesn’t matter if it’s fair, either - once you get tagged as a fraud, your busking days are done till things blow over.

Seriously though, whoever wrote Trixie is an asshole. They never even gave her a chance to change or make friends.

@Kazapsky  
It was one fucking show, that doesn’t warrant her entire life going to shit.

@PonyPon  
Luck doesn’t exist period. That’s bad writing.

@Background Pony #A2D4  
And she’s written as unlucky.
 
I don’t like it either, but it is what it is. I find it at least comforting she’s also written as not being one to crumble before such universal bias.

Performers trade almost entirely on their reputation. When something blows a hole in your hype, it’s very difficult to get things back on track.

@PonyPon  
Luck doesn’t exist, it’s the writing.

@Kazapsky  
It seems like complete bullshit how Trixie looses everything over one mistake. Her home, career, being made fun of everywhere, and forced to work manual labor for a living… What the fuck?

Because to some degree, it’s canon. According to Trixie herself, the events of Boast Busters caused her career to tank due to her reputation being shot. I doubt Magic Duel helped things any.

@Background Pony #2067  
She’s just an unlucky character.

Why is Trixie always depicted having a shitty life? She doesn’t deserve that at all.

@Tetrominon  
It certainly has it’s ups and downs. But Trixie just keeps going.

Life on the road isn’t always the most pleasant thing.

Need a lift miss? And maybe a hug?
