  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    oh it's a reference to "the great and powerful trixie" from MLP

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    What Imi said.

    There's a character in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic called Trixie Lulamoon who did a stage show referring to herself as "The GREAT and POWERFUL TRIXIE!"

    Wow, ninja'd.

    I spelled "Trixie" backwards because I couldn't think of a word that meant its opposite and I had no idea it was gonna be something we still talked about 5 years later.

    The opposite of a trick?

    yeah this phrase is probably only notable to me because i pronounce "eixirt" as "exert" which makes the phrase sound funny ("the great and powerful exert")

    like, it's noticeable that that's not a noun, there's no falling sound at the end of it signifying the end of an idea, so as a result it sounds funny because it sounds like something odd inserted into the phrase

    Oh, she's called "Trixie" because she does tricks. I just now got that.

    Nah, of course I got that right away, but it's funny to see how many of you would believe me here.
