Spotlight Music: I can't Stop Referencing Pony (Donglekumquat Remix) / Butterflies / Firefly

Music time! We have one from all three parent categories here on EQD this time around, and some rap, autotuney vocals, and celtic instrumentals to mix it up even more.  I'd recommend not judging that remix by the cover image, or the first ~10 seconds or so.  It's actually pretty awesome.

1.) donglekumquat (feat. Fen) - I Can't Stop Referencing Pony (Remix - Chip/Rap)
2.) Butterflies - Panic Ft. ChiChi (Vocal - Acoustic Electronic)
3.) Marcato Sound - [Celtic] Firefly (Instrumental - Celtic)

Daily Finance Points out that Pony is Thriving, and Barbie Isn't

We love out cartoon ponies here in the pony fandom, and Hasbro loves the fact that so many people are obsessed with them.  An article over on Daily Finance goes into detail about just how well ponies are doing in comparison to one of Hasbro's biggest competitors over the years, Mattel.  While barbies and the stereotypical perfect hourglass woman slowly bites the dust, the ponies and their Equestria Girls counterparts are dominating.

Story: From Your Most Grateful Admirer

[Slice of Life]

Author: Crystalis McCloud

Description: He didn't deserve another chance after what he did, but he got one. He got the forgiveness he never expected, from the last pony he ever expected to get it from. In gratitude to her, he writes her a letter, thanking her and her friends for everything. His mind and heart laid bare both to himself and those who read it. He has the freedom he truly wanted. But you know what? Just a letter isn't enough. No, he must tell her himself.
