Micro Chips greatest sin is pride, pride in himself, and in his intelligence.
Straight A's on his report card, straight edge in his personal life, and a straight line to some of the most pristine colleges in the country.
Despite all this, one question still remains, and it certainly doesn't have a straight answer. Trixie is more than happy to help.
(Un) lucky him.
An entry to Eileens Equestria Girls Spring Fling Contest.
Set in the same universe as Nature Of Love, though it's not necessary reading.

This is especially amusing to me to see this story because I am in fact fishing right now

Do you have a fabulously dramatic, incredibly egotistical, magician with you?

I wish I had. Then I would have caught fish maybe.
Oh, Wallflower, what have you done?
In any case, wonderful work with both the very different perpsectives and the emotional turmoil. A gripping read from start to finish, and that’s from someone on the outside looking in when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.
I found this a very strong read from beginning to end. Micro Chips isn’t the most pleasant of narrators here, but he’s certainly not meant to be, and both the insight we get into him through his voice and the way he attempts to break past Trixie’s defenses – only for the tables to turn dramatically – makes for a very compelling read as the game of wits breaks down into something more meaningful. Maybe some things worked a bit too conveniently in Trixie’s favor, but it doesn’t hurt the emotional impact at all, and I really liked the way things ended. Very nice work and a definite recommendation from me. Thank you very much for the submission.

Thank you kindly, and yes, Micro is a bit of an arrogant ass. A teen far too smart for his own good with a lot of emotional baggage.
so what is “Ponish” in horseworld is “Trottish” in technicolor hominid world? makes sense, with the latter having horse pun names for everything but somehow not being inhabited by talking horses
so true. a distinct characterization of Micro Chips, who i feel comes closest to this archetype out of all the characters (or is that stereotyping?)
dang Micro Chips has a good internal model Trixie
that definitely sounds like Trixie
the capitalization does make me think of Rainbow Dash. and yes, that would certainly be irritating! how can this be, when Micro Chips is so good at being smart and analytical
considering how smug Trixie already is when she fails, i cannot imagine how smug she would be turning out to have a knack for something for no reason
that is something Trixie would say
neeeeeerd
oh i love this! feels like a line ripped straight out of the “average Redditor” series
yeah… a high schooler with the characterization of “alcoholic” does sound like something requiring social services
honestly that’s probably about the middle of the range for vodkas to be worried about with Trixie
a meganerd that is not a weeb in any way? what a rarity!
very in-character for him to assume this ahaha
aww, makes sense for Trixie to be the other character here. her own smugness about herself does make her the perfect foil to this Micro Chips
and Trixie’s turn to be the perspective character
oof!
oof, this does seem like a conclusion this Micro Chips could come to
good thing Trixie is so humble and nice!
yeah that dock was pretty shit huh
aww so true
Trixe
ahaha
aww, friendship!
well that places this story firmly in the canon!
really well done with this one! love how strong the character voices are, particularly Micro Chips’s, and the dynamic between him and Trixie in the conversation was spot-on. the core of the story was Micro Chips and Trixie's conversation, so it makes sense that we only got a glimpse of the Sandalwood x Micro Chips ship, and you did a great job in fleshing that out as much as you could in that glimpse. but i am deathly curious as to what Micro Chips's inner monologue sounds like when thinking about Sandalwood!
