Rarity Dash is a prolific reactor in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom with over a thousand videos. He started out reacting to MLP fanworks and episodes, but has expanded to reactions to Brony Analysis videos, Lets Plays of fan games, Pony Music Videos (P.M.V)s, and episode reviews. As his name implies, he is also a big fan of Shipping to the point that his channel is named after his favorite My Little Pony ship.
Though still largely a MLP channel, Rarity Dash has expanded his reactions to include other Western Animation series, Anime, and their respective fanworks. He introduced a monthly movie reaction where he reacts to an animated film, as chosen either by his personnel preference or by poll. He opened a Patreon where Patrons make paid requests for him to watch any video they choose; these videos now make up a large chunk of his video output.

Tropes:
- All There in the Manual: He explains details about his original character (OC) named (Serendipity) and why he uses her as his channel mascot in his first Q and A video.
- The Artifact: His pony OC and channel mascot, Serendipity, as well as the channel being named after his favorite MLP ship, Raridash, have gradually become this as the channel has evolved into a more general cartoons and anime reactions channel. He has tried to mitigate this somewhat by trying to keep MLP related videos a part of his output, but it with so many other series on his schedule now, as well as Patreon requested videos, this has proven difficult.
- Big "WHAT?!": If a shockingly funny moment happens on something he is watching, he'll combine a huge "WHAT?!" with a laughing fit.
- Cool Shades: His OC usually has a pair hanging from her face, but never really obscuring her eyes.
- Original Character: Like many MLP channels, he uses a pony OC as the face of his channel, though he claims that his (Serendipity) is more of a mascot for the channel rather than a personal avatar as with some channels.
- The Reveal: Due to popular request, he finally showed his face for his reaction to the MLP:FIM season five finale.
- Running Gag: Rarity Dash will say "The Moon" every time the moon is shown in one of his reactions. He's yet to elaborate on why.
- Sarcasm Mode: At times.Rarity Dash: (upon seeing a lackluster running animation) This is how you start a masterpiece.Rarity Dash: (early in the Persona let's play) All I can do is clean my room. Just what I want to simulate through video games.
