Alright so I've been a bit busier than usual and haven't been able to get online much, save for late at night where I do my fanfic, typing a shorter somewhat spinoff to my main Equestrian story.

Anywho I've had two other ideas floating around in my head.

The first a "My Little Rarity" story where a shrunken Rare shows up not far from my current location, and I have to take care of her until a way home is either found or made. It'd be kind of a short story, maybe just a one chapter piece with a journal entry like structure based upon one like in the dashie vid. Unfortunately I have only so much of it in my head (basically discovery, and a home coming area (where I bring Rare back and attempt to get her settled in her new temporary home, including a small bathroom scene (sfw as I'm a gentleman by nature and respect ladies)).

The other idea I got from revisiting my past (no thanks to the crap I deal with on a daily basis causing my mind to revert a bit when things get UBER bad). There was a show I used to watch as a kid (would kinda explain the undiscoverd love for Equestria and it's inhabitants). The show has plenty of similarities (i.e. the main three items in the show are a sun, moon, and a heart, as are the three older Equestrian Princesses, Various talking equines of varying species (mainly uni and alicorns), etc). I've been quite a bit curious as to the connections between the planes of ???? and Equestria and was sort of thinking about doing a journal like story concerning my oc traveling to the anonymous plane and doing firsthand research there while participating in local historical events there. On the other hand, with a small bit of curiousity, I've found a second plane that may be linked with Equestria through the various talking equine species and specific artifacts and was also thinking about researching (and adding that one to the fic) that one as well.

I'll give you clues to the sources of inspiration just to make it more.... interactive.

The first plane was a girls cartoon back in the early nineties with mythical medievil names on most of the characters based around a specific wizard and those of his relation (storyline wise), that was about a symbiotic relationship between animals, humans, and gem stones and had a theme of friendship.

The second is a card game for girls (sexist seeing as how the creatures at center can be liked by both genders or are cowboys called such because they mainly used cows (other than wagon pulling) as their main source of transport and and did not boys/young men of the western era not grow up loving creatures called horses?... point guys can like equines too!) about an Equestria like world again with a theme of friendship and a peaceful coexistence between people and animals. The cards had codes to a game like website that brought the magical world of the card game to life.

The other night I had a dark dream. It ended with my marefriend trying to comfort me holding me as a more primal version of me bit and clawed at her trying to escape her grasp. It had started with some worries, increased by other recent events, as they were bothering me. Things increasingly worsened until I reached a dark point where I did some things, emotionally driven, and then went into a sort of voluntary coma where I spent the rest of my life in Equestria. Feeling the darkness rise within me Luna had me weakened to nothing more than my spirit and put me in a semi-conscious state, After a few days the royals awoke me to test my state of mind out. Rare volunteered to try consoling me and that's where my fear driven form began attacking her. Dream ended there with her saying comforting things as she cried holding me.

As for elsewhere:

Yeah.... researching connections is hard. I've tried most of the libraries except one. The one on the castle in the capitol. I've made several..... not so permissed, attempts to enter that very library, specifically the wing named after my favorite wizard. The latest one ended with royal shoe polishing duty as well as a warning that one more attempt and I'll actually end up in the dungeons. That is actually quite a shocker given my destructive, violent, emotional, aspergers fueled history, that has given any of the princesses the (justifiable and undoubtable reasons) to hang me upside down behind bars, Why they haven't I'll never know.
