HAPPY RAINBOW DASH DAY!
Here she is on her birthaversy from the episode Pinkie Pride, which inspired marking February 1st as her birthday and thus, Rainbow Dash Day.
And here she is showing off her speed and agility on a barrel weave from Fall Weather Friends.
How about them flying skills?
Demolition Dash!
The (presumed) not-Sonic-Rainboom but very similar and still explosive rainbow thingy.
Usually known for speed and agility, she does have some strong moments on occasion too, like this one where she defeats Applejack in a hoof wrestle.
Here she is fighting off changelings in a dream from Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? Luna shows up, worried the Tantabus has already turned RD's dream into a nightmare but nope. It's actually Rainbow Dash's *favorite* dream.
Cute flying hoof bump with Fluttershy from Games Ponies Play.
And...that's all I've got from the official show as GIFs. I intend to make more one day and fix some minor border issues on what I've already posted. Anyway, she is my super fave. Much love to my favorite rainbow-maned flying pegasus. 🏳️🌈 💓
I wasn't able to get something out to publish in time this year, like a new chapter of TMM in audiobook or text form. It just wasn't in the cards with how my energy and general timing has worked out.
I suppose I can share one last GIF I have of her from a fan work. This one is from a KDA-POPSTARS [SFM/Re-creation] video.
This GIF segment of this post is based on my Twitter thread here, https://twitter.com/kazamacat/status/1488542050450653192. Most of my Twitter followers are NOT into MLP, so that's why I provide some further context on what these GIFs are even from within the show.
A post on Equestria Daily reminded me about Rainbow Dash fanfics. Honestly, I haven't read most of them since I am rather picky about what I might be interested (and especially like) but since they included Innavedr while not including any of the other Austraeoh books, several of which *I* would rank as better, I've got to say SOMETHING.
So...if you're looking for a long read, check out the Austraeoh series. I've got a library here. I don't know why I can't order them properly, but you can find the proper order in the description or even my profile page.

The best one is Utaan in my opinion, by a large margin. After that, it's a bit of mess to rank them.
Here's my general library of Rainbow Dash stories. This does not mean I like these stories or even recommend them. It's just..if you're looking for a generally Rainbow Dash focused story, there you are. Obviously, I still don't include everything despite what I just said. Most of these grabbed my attention well enough in some way.

I'll also single out Harmony Theory because it's got quite a good focus on Rainbow Dash and is the only fanfic I would rank in the same tier as the Austraeoh series.

While I don't generally re-read these types of stories as I do the large-scale adventures like Austraeoh and Harmony Theory, I do have soft spot for anything with her as an alicorn and/or daughter or student to Celestia. I tend to like these more on a conceptual level.

I have even more public Rainbow Dash libraries, but I won't link or describe them all. Just go here to find them all:

And of course, I've got to promote my own stuff some, so...
Here's my longer running, main work focused on Rainbow Dash as a magic-eating vampire.
Here's my first blood-drinking Rainbow Dash vampire story.
Rainbow Dash is not the main, focal character in this one, but I did try to make sure she gave some strong support.
Here is my second, blood-drinking Rainbow Dash vampire story, that has so far fared better than the first.
Okay, I've already spent over half my break creating this post, so I really gotta wrap this up. If I do a newsletter this month, I'm going to try and wait until tomorrow as to give Rainbow Dash her day of awesomeness.
Happy Rainbow Dash Day!
