It's a wicked life, isn't it, Trixie?
That's how you really feel, isn't it, Trixie?
You'd like a different life, wouldn't you, Trixie?
Trixie, Trixie, Trixie... if only it were that easy.
Everypony has to live with their mistakes, after all.
Why should you get to be any different?
Thank you to Ice Star, Gay For Godot, and Themoontonite. Love you

I tried to preserve the original formatting best I could, and had to improvise for the ending there. You can read the story with the original formatting here.
Painful and beautiful.
Jesus this is a whole lot in such little space. Poor Trix. She doesn't deserve this life.
That was a pretty cool story, glad that I read it.

I think that if you wish to perserve the format, you can try doing like this fic by The Red Parade and post the text afterwards. It could work out.
Holy shit it’s even better than I remembered!
(Any reason the other little ending wasn’t a chapter in its own right and wound up as an external link?)
This moved me. Very poetic. Many excellent short phrases. I read the lyrics to the song after reading the story, and the lines I liked most aren't from the song, except for one, "You were built to break." "An army of imperfect animals" comes across lamely in the song; it only came to life for me because you added the word "cells", and the references to Trixie's mother dying of cancer. What you wrote here is IMHO much better than the song that inspired it.
Readers: The linked-to Google docs give world suggestion privs. You can leave comments on them, and even suggest changes to individual lines. That was a bold move by Regidar.
This is a reference to that episode where Trixie attempts suicide by jumping inside the maw of manticore and Starlight saves her?

none of us do.

I'm glad it did. Well, maybe glad is the wrong word. We can make it through this.

It's what I've always tried to be. thank you <3

I'm glad you read it too! I'll look in to experimenting around with doing something similar to what Red did, fimfic avant that he is. I gotta say, I don't hate how the final product turned out here in the formatting. I like constructing visually appealing text but also like the tab key a bit too much.

one of my favorite episodes. the show writers were correct and brave to do what they did there. I have always empathized with Trixie the most out of any character—except perhaps starlight, but she has a true skill and raw talent and inherent power to her that I simply do not wield. Walking disaster and attention whore that she is, Trixie is the closest candidate to sharing my internal dialogue out of any of the characters. I love her dearly.

I wanted to be edgy and cool. I dunno, shake things up a bit.

I think the Have A Nice Life cover of All Teeth is one of my favorite songs in existence. The lyrics were very powerful to me when I was in high school, but what endures is the perfect riff and the crushing wall of sound that blasts in on the second half. Dan's wonderful woeful wails really get me goin'. But you know me, I'm a sucker for that lo-fi depressive post-industrial doomgaze.
I'm really glad you liked this so much! That means a lot. I'd written the bulk of this story back in July and August of this year and it sat around stewing, almost complete but not quite. On Sunday, I was struck with what "an army of imperfect animals" could actually mean, and I added that part into the story. I also cleaned up the end because originally it did not have the hope attached to it. I've written enough stories that end the other way. One of my most popular fics of all time is literally just an extended suicide note. Sorry, Trixie. You get to live.
im angry at you for making me feel things with the little horses . stop it (gorgeously real and relatable work as always 💛 )

Huh, it actually gave me the impression that the ending was scrapped or a bonus that never made it into the final draft. But it doesn’t sound like that’s the case?
11435989
i will never stop
11436041
nah, just a novel way of presenting the ending. i could wax poetic on the pretense of how having to access the ending that way simulates the act of teleportation, with the sudden shift to a different website but that would be quite self-important, wouldn't it
11437222
I’m just wondering what happens if the ending gets lost or severed in the future because of something happening to the document.
11437280
For some reason I think google docs will be around longer than fimfic will
11437430
I was just referring to the specific document and the individual settings.
bro
this is fantastic
well I can't make a swans reference here, this is have a nice life and Giles Corey man fuck. But holy shit im so fucking surprised that a story like this exists, combining one of my all time favorite single artists and bands and making a poetic surreal story omg this is hitting all the things I love, I think you might actually be one of, if not my all time favorite writer because of stuff like this. MASTERPIECE AHHHHHH IM FANBOYYYINGGG RNNN
