This thread is a two part question.
1. Why not have “Equus” be the name of a language family, like how Romantic languages include Spanish and French? Not the name of the planet.

Writer’s block help:

When you already have a scene in progress:
1. Who is your character?
2. What are they doing?

Well, I helped write a chapter in my fiancé's story. If you were all interested in deep introspective views on culture... this isn't it. It's porn. Very... VERY... weird (and probably off putting) porn. Oviposition, birth, pain, hyper pregnancy, among... other things.

The chapter has a mix of his and my writing styles.

If you're at all interested in seeing how depraved my mind is... this is what I find sexy. Most of the action is in the "Birth" scene.

What are the new ways of marriage for ponies?

Is monogamy normal for today's Equestrians and polygamy an old, possibly dead, tradition?

Okay, you’re a human for this one. And the shit you’ve heard on the grapevine, woo!

Looks like the Ponyville locals got wind of your existence, but a metric fuck ton of the details got distorted before the town eventually settled on some bizzar fable about what humans are.

The shit that they believe. Jesus. They've spread rumors about us.

Now I'm thinking of what Twilight can tell about us ‘Hewmanz’ from simple observation.

Oh, and in this scenario, Twilight only has a spaceship with 12 human crew members for reference.

Let's talk about the culture a little. You ever notice how there's an "Earth Pony Way," there's an implied "Unicorn Way," but we've never heard of a "Pegasus Way?"

In Winter Wrap Up, the ponies are wrapping up winter using the "Earth Pony Way," but they allow pegasi to help in ways that only pegasi can, namely clearing out the clouds and bringing home the birds.

Both humans and ponies have domesticated their respective worlds. What do you think the process of taking over the planet looks like with different species?

Did we tame animals for the same reason ponies did? Did we reach town-level civilization at the same relative hour that they did?
