From HRH Bighorse, RE: Letter 17

Author's Note:

Letter 17: Here.

To my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,

Twilight, do you remember when we had that talk when you were young about your brother's Ogres and Oubliettes game and the difference between Wisdom and Intelligence? To recall: Intelligence (of which you have plenty) is knowing that you could probably catch a changeling using your brother's great love for yourself and Princess Cadence as bait. Wisdom is realizing why you shouldn't. I'm glad to hear you regret the choice in the end, but you've possibly permanently damaged Shining Armor's trust in you, Twilight. I'm also afraid to say that Cadence wants a word with you.

I hope you learn an even more important lesson from all of this about the importance of trust, and consent.

Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia

Dear Cadence,

Cadence, I don't blame you and I agree Twilight appears to need some actual psychological evaluation but we both know she means well. She just has... prioritization issues at times. As an apology to your husband I've arranged for a voucher to the royal enchanter should he wish to have additional work done without charge on a charm or armor to help him feel safe again. If you have the contact details of any certified pony left that's willing to attempt to act as a therapist for Twilight, please compose a list and send it to me at your convenience. There's none with more than a year or two of experience in Canterlot that's willing to accept appointments with the young mare since the Quesadilla Incident.

Your loving aunt,
Celestia.

Well of course she does, at the end of the day.

[PaintedPony]

I'm glad you're doing these. Thanks.

Of course! I'm glad people are enjoying it.

[Xzrea]

"importance of trust, and consent" sounds even more important given Twilight's implied sexual preferences.

[Wild Zontars]

This is good stuff. Perfect blend of funny and reasonable reactions.

We do not speak of the Quesadilla Incident.

She is still traumatized:

[Yutah123]

Welp, it's official. This Twilight's off her rocker.

[Frankie2]

Well this explains why Twilight hasn't been sent to therapy. She had therapy before now no professional will even go near her.

[No I Will Not]

I must learn of this Quesadilla Incident.

After she’s had time to vent and eat totally-not-cake.

[vinyldash23]

These are great.

So she stops caring at night?

Just like with my mother, but that was the Water Bottle Incident. ^{Yes, really.}
