NO. YOU ARE THE COOLEST PERSON.

Didn't we decide that we were all the coolest person? (That said, yes, Jack is significantly cooler than the average person.)

I dunno, but I decided to make myself 20% cooler.

Related question: Is there some sort of place that has collected all the image macros somewhere?

I'm cooler than the average person?

This is probably the closest thing to that.

Know your meme has an MLP:FIM page with a lot of them, and Ponibooru has a lot as well, if you can filter through all the other stuff.

@Mullon: Well there's ponibooru, that's the one I go to. But that one has a fuckton of images, so it might be a little overwhelming. Besides, that's more about original fan art stuff than macros (though they do have a fair share of them) I'd recommend that you start here: http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/list/macro/60

More on Trixie, also remember she clames she beat a Uesa MAJOR, she didn't even reconize a Ursa Minor, let along be able to beat one, yeah there is 0 chance she ever even saw one

That was a lie. That much is true.

She could have seen an Ursa Minor and thought it was an Ursa Major. She was still lying through her teeth, though.

She lied through her teeth about everything. Particularly that "Anything you can do I can do better" boast. As the Recap page for the episode pointed out, she shows no skill in what Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity challenge her in, she merely interferes with their own parts with her magic. If nopony in the audience noticed that, I'd be surprised.

She was just being a good showman. It doesn't matter if she actually beat the challenge, so long as it looked like she did.

Stop trying to convince people to dislike Trixie. Its not going to work.

THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRICKSY HAS SPOKEN!!

I disliked her, but more for her off-show performance.

If only all performers could be like Darren Criss...

Trixie is awesome. Y'know at least she TRIED to fight the ursa minor, rather than just running away.

I hope she's stronger next time we see her, cuz she is really gifted

Some how i dought Hudini or even Pen And Teller would say "I'm a better farmer then you"

Real entertainer's don't trying to show up every single person in the city they show in, they show what they can do, they don't make claimes that "everyone in this 2 bit, 1 hourse town is inferior to me"

Now is she evil? No, but she is a jerkass with a ego the size of Enji's dream.

That's just because Tricksy is so much better than all those posers. She's even better at posing.

But it didn't even look like she beat the challenge. All it looked like was that she was forcing the others to fail. Using magic to replicate the same results would have been fair game, but just undercutting your opponent isn't good showmanship or good sportsmanship.

I'm not saying she's evil or a bad person, she's just overly proud of what is, by all accounts, an average talent in magic. She has a good flair for the dramatic and she's a good storyteller; if she applied herself properly, she could do well as a traveling entertainer whose schtick wasn't entirely 'I am better than everyone in this town'.

If her talent is average, then rarity's talent is below average.

Except for the gemfinding, that's a pretty cool passive powah,

I've noticed a Wing Boner in at least one other thing (Toy Story 2), can anyone else think of anymore examples so that I can decide whether or not to YKTTW it.

She had above average magic ability I'm sure. She was precise with her telekinesis, somehow able to turn rainbows into whirlwinds, turn hair into grass and Summon thunderstorms. Other than Twilight, no other unicorn has shown off that kind of power, and ponyville seemed impressed by her for the most part

^Right, right. It's been a long time since I've seen the episode - all I remembered was the fireworks show, really. Thanks for the correction.

@Tippy Toe: Hm... it seems like an odd offspring-trope of Something Else Also Rises and Fantastic Arousal, but for the most part, it seems like wingboners are already covered under the latter trope.

On a personal level, I think that Trixie had a pretty serious inferiority complex (I've got about three pages worth of writing on this for a fic I never did, but I'll give you the readers digest version here).

First of all, from her performance she almost seemed like she wanted hecklers. If we assume that Rarity isn't being a sort of jerk here, and that pony culture looks down on immodesty (which it seems to, at least a bit), it seems like pumping oneself up like that is asking for trouble. She wanted the chance to prove herself against other ponies. That's her idea of a show.

Secondly, As many people have pointed out, she didn't truly beat RD, AJ and Rarity, she just made them look bad. Now, as someone who was picked on for a while, I can tell you it's easy for a victim of abuse to see 'strength' as being defined by your ability to hurt others. Now, consider the equivalent in terms of magic - if a 'strong' wizard were to repeatedly use their magic to humiliate Trixie, she could easily come to equate skill with the ability to humiliate someone.

On the whole it seems likely that Trixie was at one point the bottom half of a rivalry - with a very, very nasty rival. She feels the need to prove herself, be it to herself or just to anyone who's watching, that she is skilled - an a performer is a good venue for that. Given how she reacts to adulation(quite negatively, off the stage) she's probably looking for acceptance from another skilled unicorn.

Okay, so yeah, it's probably a biiiiiiig stretch, but the signs are all there. It's interesting to think about, at the very least.

Poor Trixie. If only she had had friends to love her...even a little dragon companion.
