again again shows how far Cadence has been pushed by using brainwashing to cure Trixie. And using her for a forced Alicornifiation.
There's also how Trixie here acknowledges that Loneliness had a point, to some extent. After all, if she hadn't listened to Discord's avatar, she would never have been mind-whammied in the first place (or at any rate it would have been harder for him).
Never thought of it that way. Cool! *hugs!*
In my formulation, that realization is part of the decisive factor that makes it a successful Alicornification - she's understanding the complexity of it rather than just rejecting it.
Ah. Heh.
