The Diarchy has asked -- ordered, really -- Twilight to attend the Zoology Conference. This means meeting the leaders of various nations, along with making a speech. And with Twilight increasingly suspicious about what all of these extra duties might eventually mean, she's becoming desperate to make it all stop.

There's a briefing book. Long lists of things she shouldn't discuss, because doing so would be seen as an insult. And Twilight has just learned about what Applejack calls 'cancel culture'. So if she just offends enough attendees, proving that she isn't suited for this sort of thing, then she's home-free! It's not as if being offensive is hard.

Love Tap has to have ‘the talk’ with her teenage son. Except it’s not about the birds and the bees. It’s much worse and much, MUCH more uncomfortable.

Not quite "gore" but contains talk about eating questionable content.

Part of the Love Call of the Sirens storyline.

"Thanks" to Mitch H for a little tidbit about horses. You guys can thank Majin Syeekoh for not writing his own take on the idea like we discussed.
