Not having them at all. Making it clear that this time it isn't the case and you cannot apply a lesson to 99% of things and context/special circumstances always matters. Or much more intelligent lessons societal lessons about nature vs nurture.
In-world lessons such as pegasi and unicorns can **Sometimes** share magic, but alicorn magitech cannot.

Hasbro crossovers/AUs can be fun if done right, nowadays they're not done right. The world of Hanazuki could easily be ponified with flowerponies and flower bunnies. Its main world design problem is that the trees all do the same thing, among many other problems.

Ironically Hanazuki as a little girls show about managing emotions has anger and depression as viable emotions that can help... accidentally, since the writer behind Hanazuki is none other than the one behind Feeling Pinkie Keen and Over A Barrel.
