I'm not a professional musician, but that's not real music. It looks closer than normal fake music you see in cartoons and such, like the artist actually got a piano score from somewhere as source material, but it's nonsensical. There's no time signature, measure lines are nonexistent, random accidentals appear next to nothing, and the second page looks like they superimposed two pages on top of each other to make it look more dense. (One of them's actually a copy of the first page.)

So, sorry, you won't hear any piano performances of "Mi Meh M" anytime soon. If you want to imagine, try giving your cat meth and setting him loose on your piano keyboard.

I am a piano player... none of what is in there atleast on page 1 makes any sense. The second page is almost like the sheet music to that piano piece that's like called death waltz

That sheet music doesn't have any measures or a discernable time signature either. You could probably assume common time but eh.

They already have their own unique written language, it wouldn't be to much a of stretch of the imagination to suggest they write their own unique music as well.

:fluttershrug:

When their language is mostly just scribblings that look vaguely like English words and letters, I wouldn't expect any different from their music. :twiright:

I think the only time they've used actual written English in the show was the "Welcome Princess Celest" gag in S1. From what I heard, this stopped not out of narrative concern but rather because it made the show harder to localize for international markets.

Maybe their sheet music is so complicated because they don't have enough keys on their pianos. :v:

oh boy, here I go posting about ponies again :ponynet:

  • Solid intro. Square Dancing on top of the mountain we just climbed! :ohboy: :scootawoo:
  • Them immediately going to Big Mac was hilarious for me. He's just the least likely candidate possible.
  • How do you know barber pony didn't need help, I didn't see him cutting hair. :glare:
  • Bulk Biceps' appearance, problem, and solution to the problem were all excellent and unexpected. Highlight of the episode. :hilarious:
  • "Crochet is knitting's poorer cousin." :vogue:

I'm surprised I didn't have more notes for this, but generally a very well done episode. I have few complaints.

also mods please add Image

One more thing I forgot to mention earlier: Sweetie Belle has four shoes. Apple Bloom only has two.

You know, one thing I saw a few times in #ponyday and around the fandom was people getting the first impression that Tender Taps was to be a boyfriend for Apple Bloom. Is it bad that we're basically conditioned to expect this, that a new character of a different gender than a main character just has to be a love interest? I mean, this is exactly what EqG did with Brad.

I think it's because Apple Bloom is wearing half of Sweetie's costume and half of Scootaloo's costume. Therefore, only two shoes.

Eh, the fandom does this pretty much whenever a character interacts with a new male (or sometimes female) character. Flash was about the only time it was ever hinted to be potentially romantic, so I think that says more about fandoms than the show itself.

For what it's worth, my understanding is that the younger demographics don't usually care about romance, which is probably why FiM doesn't really touch it (or plays it off, like with Rarity's crushes). EqG was targeted at an older, or at least aging into their tweens, audience, and so probably thought romance would be better received.

I said it too, and I was half-joking. But they tried it before with Brad, so I guess it's not completely far-fetched. There just aren't many boys in the show, so anyone who has an inkling of a personality goes under the microscope.

But obviously, it won't happen because "Tender Taps" is a really goofy name for a main character.

I just watched The Show Stoppers again. Remember how, back then, Apple Bloom was the one who was super excited about dancing and choreography for their act in the talent show? Apple Bloom still caring about dance here was one hell of a callback, it seems.

Well, yeah. But the point was that her being interested in dancing wasn't just something that she'd only had in the back of her mind and that we hadn't yet seen on camera, it was something she's cared about for at least a couple years now.
