Musictime

Here is another pony related to one of my favorite topics: music. This time, the notes in her symbol are all facing the proper direction, although there’s something missing: a staff.

  

The odd element is the triangle. This is obviously a musical instrument, but not a solo instrument. I went to My Little Pony Wiki for a backcard check on this pony, and there is a really strange story going on. I quote:

Musictime's favourite lesson is Music of course! She can play any musical instrument but the one she likes best is the triangle. Sometimes she plays a tune on her triangle, blinks her eyes... and the other musical instruments play the same tune all by themselves! Sometimes, Musictime plays her triangle in the middle of another lesson! Then, the other Schooltime Ponies say: "This isn't music lesson, Musictime!" But whenever Musictime's around... it's time for music! Listen carefully, can you hear a triangle?

How can someone play a tune on a single-note percussion instrument? One can’t. But this is not the only bizarre thing in this story: “…and the other musical instruments play the same tune all by themselves!” Whoever wrote this story probably shared Musictime’s delusions. The only way a normal musical instrument can play by itself is through sympathetic resonance. And since you can’t play a tune on a triangle, the other instruments cannot resonate sympathetically to it. Musictime is also obsessed with her triangle, so that she plays it in other lessons. I think that is reason to be worried. 

The proof Musictime and the backcard story maker shared the same obsessions and delusions is in the last sentence: 

Listen carefully, can you hear a triangle?

No! I do not have tinnitus or endomusia! Not even synesthesia! I do not hear geometric shapes and I do not believe plastic ponies can be serious musicians!
