#ALSO HIM ROASTING ECLIPSE

[goodolddumbbanana]

Has anyone else felt the tension, or siblings rival between Solar and Moon?

It is very subtle but....

Like how Moon picks on Solar (in a funny way) quite a lot, and with all the sass and pranking.

Boy especially chose Solar as his sarcafire lamb to make Sun happy (turning Solar into doll), calling Solar as an uncultured swan when he said he hasn't seen the TV shows yet.

And a lot of moments too. I hope those just use as funny bits, and not because he still seems Solar as Eclipse and has some undertone resentment about it. (In a lighter way, of course)

Because like in the episode today... He becomes very possessive around Sun when Solar tries to help Sun.

Like... I can handle it, It's my brother -Moon quote.

Does Moon not remember Solar is their brother too or deep down inside he just sees Solar as cousins?

I also noticed Moon leaves Solar very much along and not dragging him into adventure just like how Nexus did back then because Solar is smarter than Sun and it would be less dangerous for Sun.

Moon behaviour really reminds me of the time when Nexus brought him and Sun only a whole aSs mansion.

I smell the codependent there....

Also... What do you mean Sun jelly with Solar for being more cooler dad than him? It's so cute man???? Like he wasn't even aware of how Jack liked hanging out with him and listening to him a lot.

Also .... The "Don't you dare touching me..." I really hope it applies for everyone (because he gets a lot of trauma from getting beat like shit) and not because Solar is the one who is close to him and Sun still sometimes thinks Solar as Eclipse, just a better one.

I think it is just my imagination, but I kinda scared Sun still unconsciously scared of Solar as an instinct for all the hatred he has for Eclipse.

Like he especially states he hates all Eclipse equally, (from Clipsy to EaPs eclipse...) idk man.... Kind alarm when seeing him said it.

Also... Hehe I was right!!!! Sun is still very bitter about how he gave blessings for Monty.

To be fair, Monty didn't give Sun a chance to process before saying yes.

I love to see the good old banter between Sun and Monty back there, and how he very much becomes a protective brother for Earth.

God, I will pay money to see Sun roast Monty alive in one episode

[cybershock24601]

I'm sure someone else has already thought of this but I'm so convinced that modern Illario would be one those guys that make those thirst trap cooking videos - you know the ones - and starts building a decent following of horny older women (like Zara Renata) only for his fame to be completely eclipsed by some poorly shot and poorly edited video Rook posted of Lucanis cooking going insanely viral out of nowhere.

The video is shot in Rook's kitchen and it's Lucanis from the chin down, sleeves rolled up, and in a goofy apron (because Rook only owns goofy aprons) explaining in his nice soothing voice how to cook some dish and it's got some stupid caption like "when your man is teaching you how to cook so you don't die of malnutrition😍" that was intended just for their friends to see because it's clearly a silly candid video.

Probably no one would have seen it if there weren't some sort of algorithm containment breach that likely came from Ma Harding who wants to know what Lucanis is cooking. Rook answers and then just ignores their phone because they're still getting their cooking lesson and need to pay attention. Rook also doesn't keep notifications on or use social media much because they don't even notice the short little video they posted blowing up out of nowhere where half the comments are about how good the food looks and the other half about how good Lucanis looks.

Illario notices though and absolutely loses it because how come some stupid video of his cousin cooking doing so much better then the many videos Illario puts a ton of time and effort into making?! Illario starts giving Lucanis the cold shoulder and Lucanis is just so confused about what Illario's problem is this time and corners him because he's being ridiculous and Illario just goes "You know exactly what this about" and Lucanis who really, really doesn't know replies "Illario I have no idea what you're talking about" and Illario just shows him the video and Lucanis has no idea why he is so upset until he sees just how many likes and comments on the silly little video Rook took of him the other day. Lucanis is honestly a little disturbed by just how horny the comments are while Illario is telling Lucanis that he is not going to upstage him this time, just wait Lucanis, Illario is going to prove he's the better cooking content creator and dramatically walks away.

At the very least this is explaining those weird comments Taash and Harding had been making for the past week. Lucanis texts Rook about the video after this and Rook is super surprised that so many people had seen it and wants to know if they should take it down but its the internet so it's too late for that. Rook does get super curious about what Illario meant about making his own cooking videos and tracks down his account and almost dies of cringe when they start watching them. Those videos are definitely getting sent to the group chat where everyone proceeds to start roasting Illario over them and Lucanis is left desperately hoping he gets some sudden memory loss because he really wishes he had never seen his cousin try so desperately hard to be sexy or molest food like that.

Eaps headcanons - or maybe au idk anymore it can be both

• Sunshine and Moonlight were originally designed to be performers, much like the majority of Suns+Moons across the multiverse. They both have some leftover codes, programs, and protocols from that initial setup. Sunny uses his more visibly, and the moment Ballora sees him go on-pointe to reach a spot on the playstructures, her brain does a dialup noise.

• speaking of Ballora - Eclipse? Her beastie. Sunshine and Moonlight? Her little siblings. No, this is not negotiable, she is now a big sister, don't be silly, moonpie, there's no escaping her love- (/hj)

• Sunny and Moon sometimes make small games together as a bonding experience - Moon handles the coding and Sun does the visuals and workshops the plot. ((Bonus - Moon is lowkey terrified by how good his other half is at making horror. The games come out GOOD but holy shit man...))

• While his anxiety means he trios and stumbles over his words, Sun's actually incredibly witty, sharp, and has sass for days - he just can't always get it out. So whenever Moon's fronting, there's a 50/50 chance he'll get a running roasting commentary if Sunny's in a mood. It's very difficult to keep his laughter at bay with the more... creative ones.

• Eclipse survives on caffeine, carbs and spite. Unfortunately for him, Ballora and Sunny have spoiled him with coffees and he cannot for the life of him figure out how to replicate it. He refuses to ask, and they never tell. He just sort of... pouts scowls until they come to gift him his blessed beverage

• FC likes Sunshine and Moonlight a lot - they're like.... weird young uncles who might also lowkey be cousins maybe he doesn't really know. Or care. But they're fun!

• Sunny gets Extra Weird around magical/paranormal stuff. Not in an anxious way - or rather, he does, but there's more to it. His systems go a little haywire and his fans kick on, his sensory array gets oddly tingly, and he can feel Something begin to bloom in and around his face and chest. Not knowing makes him panic, and Moon usually takes over once it hits a certain threshold. They've yet to mention it to anyone.

• Puppet scares Sunny, just a bit. Not because of her past or anything, but because she sets his arrays on FIRE in close proximity ((see above)), and they have a tendency to feel... fake? Sometimes?? Almost coddling, but also forcefully so??? It's hard to explain. He likes her well enough, and wants to be friends!! But there's odd undercurrents.

• Moon doesn't like Lefty. Like... at all. He's cordial and civil, but he's not a fan of that bear. The way he bulldozes over others, how he cornered Sunny, the way he treats everyone - it sets Moonlight's teeth on edge.

• Sunny loves sorting things by shape, size, and hexadecimal code. He has absolutely debated the logistics of color coding the ballpit.

• Moon likewise enjoys alphanumerical organization.

• Ballora and Eclipse do spa nights where they watch trashy reality TV, wear comfy pajamas, gossip and occasionally do makeovers. Clip will die before admitting he enjoys it.

I love your headcanons!

fellow huntlow hater. roast them

YAAAAYY OK HERE I GO

fandom ruined it - why is willow commonly hotsexy fat girl w huge boobies OR extremely ooc shy when we know her personality changed after her memories were burned. why is hunter always uwu shy boy when hes got pretty fucking severe anger issues, theyre just leashed.

boring - literally zero taste ship. what do they even have in common aside from flyer derby. fucking amity and hunter have more chemistry (does anybody remember eclipse lake CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME)

comphet nightmare - WILLOW... WILLOW YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A BUTCH LESBIAN... WILLOOOOOWW!!!! WILLOWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

no chemistry - LITERALLY THIS. fuck man idek what else to say they just dont have shit in common! willow literally triggers him in FTF w the flapjack photo and then shes like "ohh... im sooo sorry i did this... im gonna run away and cryyh....." HUH? why is she making it about herself ?? literally forced to be ooc for sake of ship... why is hunter comforting her abt this during her ooc as shit breakdown when by all right he has a right to be angry and has been shown to be the type to hold a grudge? and for that fucking matter, willow has never actually been the type to "smile and hold it all in" in the same way that luz is. she WOULD actually rely on camila and talk to her, because shes used to having good parents she can rely on. (not to say camila is a bad parent, but clearly she and luz struggle communication wise.) I MUST ALSO COMPLAIN... WHEN DOES ANYBODY CALL HUNTER "HALF A WITCH"? HE IS LITERALLY A TEEN PRODIGY. people dont even know hes powerless without his staff, we LITERALLY SEE LUZ REALIZE THIS ON SCREEN!!!? why the FUCK is canon trying to tell me that they can bond over being called "half a witch"? BULL FUCKING SHIT

stupid, in an annoying way - willow and hunter are both in turns forced to be the damsel in distress for ship moments when theyre both extremely competent combatants and the struggles they face that enable those ship moments are Fucking Dumb.

how tf is this even a ship? - literally forced to be ship by the show... hunter my beloved you could have been the lumity homewrecker (and i have THOUGHTS on how Nothing the lumity ship is and how dirty they did amitys character)

keep that girl away from him! - ah yes willow, the forceful character who tends to impose her will on her friends post memory episode, and has even used magic to restrain hunter before (flyer derby episode); im sure this will be great for hunter's self actualization and cause zero backsliding in regards to him being used to being the caretaker for belos who bends to his will under every single thing and is a people pleaser and has only been shown to be himself properly around luz (and gus to a lesser extent)!!!!!

i can fix them if i actually cared - this would require a real huntlow based episode where they talk things out and willow becomes uncomfortable with how hunter is willing to do anything for her and even gets her things before she asks (like, if she mentions being thirsty, before she even gets up hes already back with a glass of water and an expression akin to a dog awaiting praise.) this compounds over the episode until she freaks out a bit and then sits him down and asks what His Fucking Deal Is and hes forced to confront his people pleaser nature, and resolves to change for the better.

its genuinely just bad. - REEKS of "oh shit we gotta pair everybody off except not gus cuz hes a baby but we will also shiptease him and matt btw youre never getting a proper mlm ship Fuck You". ...also i must once again complain about ooc willow. why does she only reciprocate hunter's crush after he isnt disabled anymore (unable to use magic)? like, its not a good look. yikes! once again i must also complain abt the writers turning hunter from bratty and sarcastic to the malewife for the girlboss x malewife trope... why did they do this to you king. i will not deny willow becomes a girlboss though, she genuinely changes as a person, but why does she become so over the top aggressive towards hunter specifically, mandhandling him w magic like she does to NOBODY else, and forcing her will on him?? its fucking weird

i need the shippers to die - INSUFFERABLE! FUCK MAN who give a shit whats canon!! fuck off and leave me alone i will ship lunter, willuz, amillow, and huntmity as i please!! why must you harass us! "weh weh luz and hunter have a sibling relationship" if you dont fuck off and leave me alone they are LITERALLY JUST FRIENDS why must everything be nuclear family tropes to you people. do you understand that found family does not mean any ships within that dynamic become incestuous? the entire point is that it is a Found Family which dynamics differ from a traditional familial dynamic!! I Am Going To Wring Your Neck.

better as friends - everyday i think about the ending credits of WAD and willow leading hunter down the hill... how cute would that have been as a friends scene... i wouldnt even have been mad if it was shiptease post canon w zero other shippy content

NO ONE GETS THEM BUT ME!!!! - ohhhhhuuuuhhhhhggggghhh... huntlow i ship you under such specific circumstances...... adult huntlow my dream..........!!!!!!!! LESBIAN BUTCH WILLOW FEMME TGIRL HUNTER HUNTLOW???? GAAAHHHHH

just make ocs atp - re: being ooc as shit in most content. someone please give hunter his anger issues swag back. also im just gonna tangentially complain that I Do Not Like Tboy Hunter. just... puts a hand on the fandom's shoulder. think about how that would work in canon for a minute. why would philip create a grimwalker meant to mimic his brother and then not give it an AMAB body. be so fucking for real right now. i dont wanna hear shit about "what if caleb trans" in a serious argument sense. no he is not it was the 1600s and they were already ostracized from gravesfield upon moving there and became witch hunters to fit in! his ass would have been lynched for being a witch bc "only witches have gender nonconforming properties" was a real and actual thing back then. BE SO FOR REAL!!!!! and i dont wanna hear shit about "well what if hormone changing potions" because ONE hunter has completely different physiology and we do not actually know how potions work on him and TWO are you seriously trying to tell me philip wouldnt scrap a grimwalker with a completely incorrect set of genitalia. ARE YOU REALLY TELLING ME THAT THE WHITE CIS PURITAN MAN -

its too popular - literally i have the tag blocked and its just allllll filtered posts in hunter or willow's tags all the way down

New Beginning Au

I finally made the three brothers :] I might work on Bloodmoons design more cus I do NOT like it 😭🙏

Meet the Phase Family!

They're called the 'Phase' family because they are based on the phases of the moon (I think! :D). Also, because if it was the 'Eclipse' family, Eclipse would have no name. Just a last name 😭

I was also thinking about the 'Code'family, but KC will be included, so his name would just be Kill 😭

The photo goes from youngest to oldest (left to right)

Lunar Phase

💫💠💫💠💫💠💫💠💫💠💫💠💫

☆ Lunar is the youngest of the Phase family and the 2nd tallest of the trio

° He owns a flower business in the small town where they live at. The shop being called the "Cosmic Garden"

☆ He's the most energetic and happy go lucky member in the family

° He smells like vanilla with a tint of blueberries :]

☆ Hobbies: drawing, gardening, baking, and going out on walks with his brothers (any brother that is available at the time)

Pajamas: sleeping hat, big loose sweater, large white sweatpants, and strawberry socks

Bloodmoon Phase

🔪🥩🔪🥩🔪🥩🔪🥩🔪🥩🔪🥩🔪

♤ Bloodmoon is the middle child of the Phase family and is the shortest in the trio (and family)

◇ They jump to job to job but have stuck with two jobs. That being a butcher in a meat shop and a lumber jack. They enjoys the butcher job more if you didn't know 😀

♤ They're the most RABID and feral one in the family (Eclipse has to hold them down during their outbursts)

◇ He smells RANCID, but when he does shower, he smells like peppermint (KC makes him shower)

♧ Hobbies: hunting, walking in the forests, chasing down dogs (for shits n giggles), eating (Lunars baking hobby comes in clutch 😤)

Pajamas: A batman shirt, grey sweat pants, mismatched socks, and a sleeping hat

Eclipse Phase

🔧🤖🔧🤖🔧🤖🔧🤖🔧🤖🔧🤖🔧

□ Eclipse is the oldest of the trio and is the tallest in the brother trio (2nd tallest in the family)

■ He's a mechanic and inventor in a company (he's the most smartest one there tbh). He's a programmer at the side too

□ He's the most tamed and calmest one in the family (you want an actual conversation go to him, tho he'll probably be a bit cocky but it's bareable!)

■ He smells like citrus and pineapple with a slight smell of oil (he repairs stuff man give him a break 😭)

□ Hobbies: writing, programming games, starting small projects, and going out on walks (at night, tho)

Pajamas: Robes with sandals

🔧💠🔪🔧💠🔪🔧💠🔪🔧💠🔪🔧

That's the Phase family! Or at least the kids we still got one more member. That being KC :]

Now, I'll dive into facts and dynamics! :]

Brother Trio Facts (or solo) 🔧🔪💠

This will not be in any particular order

💠&🔪 - Lunar and Bloodmoon go on fun adventures with one another. One to entertain Lunar and cure his boredom and the other to tire out Bloodmoon. He can't be rabid forever!

💠- Lunar loves amusement parks! He loves taking his family with him, mostly Bloodmoon (tho Bloodmoon is scared of roller-coasters 😭)

💠&🔧- Lunar and Eclipse are the closest to one another since before this new life they only knew each other as family

💠&🔪&🔧- Bloodmoon has strong cravings (mostly for blood), and the family has to subside them with other things. Eclipse does this with different meats (grilled, deep-fried, roasting, etc, tho he isn't the best at cooking, he's decent at it) . Lunar does this by baking sweet goods (cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc. He's pretty good at it since he has a grand sweet tooth)

💠&🔪- Bloodmoon and Lunar sometimes play fight (wrestling). They mostly do it in the living room (Bloodmoon keeps winning 🙏)

💠&🔧&🔪- The Phase family holds game night every 2 weeks on Friday. They're mostly board games and card games (not virtual). Lunar makes cinnamon rolls during these nights (he LOVES cinnamon rolls) and makes something to appease to Bloodmoon to subdue his blood cravings for a little while. Eclipse and Bloodmoon choose the games they're playing for that night. Eclipse keeps winning every game, no matter what. Bloodmoon has a personal vendetta against him during these nights 🧍‍♂️ Lunar is usually 2nd or 3rd (he's mostly munching on his baked goods during games). And Bloodmoon is try harding 😭

💠&🔪- Lunar and Bloodmoon share a room together (you can tell which spot is who's 😭)

That's all I'll share for today! Kc wasn't added to this bc he needs his own design and post for me to be satisfied 😠 I do have stuff prepared for him, dw 🙌

And Bloodmoon will be served justice for that shit ass design 🗣🙌

The Land Before Time Liveblog 11

The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses

Last Time: The prophecy fortold of a time where the Chosen One, Littlefoot of The Gang, would lead a tribe of Longnecks across swamps and deserts to the promised land, the fated ritual site of the Big-Ass Crater. There, the Chosen One would reunite with his deadbeat dad, befriend an asshole street kid, and then save the world by staring directly at a solar eclipse.

This Time: The Dreaded. I've mentioned before how much I hate this film. Invasion of the Tinysauruses is the last Land Before Time movie I watched, and it was so bad it made me give up on the franchise. I watched some of the tv show, but that was several years later, out of nostalgia. And then the tv show was bad enough to make me give up on the franchise again until now.

HOWEVER, I do remember 11 having some interesting subplots and themes. I want to give this film a second chance, see if revisiting it with a critical eye changes my overall opinion. And if it doesn't, well, I can at least roast how fucking terrible it is.

The Universal Logo is still not Pangaea.

The movie begins in space, with meteors flying by. A large blue sphere moves into frame.

Narrator: "Our vast universe is filled with objects of incredible size. Objects separated by distances too great to measure."

The camera zooms back, revealing the blue sphere is actually a proton forming the nucleus of an atom. The "meteor" was an electron. The camera continues zooming back and we see more atoms.

Narrator: "But it's also made up of many millions of particles far too small to see. And these tiny things are just as important to life as the large ones."

The camera zooms back to the cellular level, then further back to reveal a leaf, attached to a small fern.

Narrator: "Many eons ago, dinosaurs ruled our planet. Most of them were huge. But among these giants lived tiny creatures. Dinosaurs the size of kittens."

No, there weren't. There are dinosaurs that small nowadays, we call them "songbirds", but if we're not counting birds then there were no dinosaurs that small. Even the smallest sauropods were still the size of big horses, the smallest hadrosaurs were the size of bears, the smallest ankylosaur was the size of a crocodile, and the smallest ornithopods and tyrannosaurs were the size of big dogs.

The closest dinosaurs have ever gotten to being "kitten-sized" are Aquilops and Microraptor, the smallest ceratopsian and raptor, which were around the size of an adult housecat or a hawk. There were no kitten-sized dinosaurs. Remember that. It's important for later.

Anyway, the narrator goes on to say that small creatures can be overlooked, but small things are important. And the dinosaurs in the Great Valley understood that, since there are currently some small delicious flowers that only bloom once in a long time.

The Gang (minus Cera) are gazing at the tree and practically salivating over how good the Tree Sweets look, smell, and taste. Ducky thinks they look ripe enough and wants to eat one, but Littlefoot scolds her and says they have to wait until Nibbling Day, when everyone will eat from the tree. While he's scolding her, Spike tries to sneak one, but then Littlefoot notices and calls out Spike.

Littlefoot is voiced in this movie by Aaron Spann. His most major roles are this and Yoshiya Kiryu in The World Ends With You. And Aaron does not do a good job here. Littlefoot's voice sounds bad.

Petrie has a suggestion.

Petrie: "Me get what you say 'bout bein' fair and all, but me thinkin' all the time, all the time thinkin', and me think this! If me fly up to tippy-tippy top of Tree Sweet tree and take Tree Sweets from tree for me and you three, then we okay, see?"

Littlefoot: "... say that again?"

Petrie: "Uh... no. Me just get 'em!"

He's saying that no-one will notice if a few go missing off the top. Petrie flies high up over the tree and then dives down, but before he reaches the tree, Cera's dad yells at him from off-screen. Petrie flails mid-air and swerves, crashing into Ducky and Spike on the ground.

Cera is with her dad, and she laughs at them. Her dad demands to know what he was doing, and Petrie makes up an excuse about chasing off a flying pointy-bottomed stinger. Cera's dad buys it, and makes sure they know that everyone has been waiting a long time to eat those Tree Sweets, so he's decided to be responsible for making sure every single one of them is still on the tree when Nibbling Day comes.

You can always count on Cera's dad for being a hard-ass with food rationing. That's some good consistency.

He leaves, and Cera rubs in that he caught them. And when Nibbling Day comes, she'll get the first one, because she discovered the tree in the first place! The others disagree. The way they remember it, shown via flashback, The Gang were wandering through the Great Valley one day when Littlefoot saw the Tree Sweet Tree. He ran up to it and stretched up, but he couldn't quite reach, and Cera jumped on his back and ate it before him!

Okay, so they're not retroactively saying this is something that has been around the whole time, like with Mr. Thicknose. I mean, it has, but they hadn't discovered it until recently. Nibbling Day is a recent thing.

Cera concedes but since her pride is hurt, she lashes out.

Cera: "Heh, I guess you're right. Littlefoot should have had the first Tree Sweet. He was just too... little."

Littlefoot: "Huh? What?"

Cera: "Oh, I don't mean little exactly, you know: short, small, whatever."

Littlefoot (perplexed): "You- you think I'm small?"

Cera: "Come on, don't take it so personally! I'm just saying you're not exactly normal-size for a Longneck, are you?"

Littlefoot: "I'm... uh, I'm still growing!"

Cera: "Ohhh, is that what's happening? Huh! It's taking a while, isn't it? So long Little Foot, ha ha ha ha, heh heh heh heh!"

Ironic that she tells Littlefoot not to take this personally, since she obviously shifted to bullying Littlefoot over his height because she took the others disagreeing with her side of the narrative personally. Also, she's just wrong. Last movie had Shorty, another Longneck kid, and they were the exact same size. And she's weirdly out-of-character. I could maybe buy movie 1 Cera bullying Littlefoot like this, but movie 11?! She sang "I'll see you in my dreams" at the end of the last movie! She's acting like Hyp here, especially the laughing as she walks away.

Ducky and Petrie try to cheer up Littlefoot, but do it badly, just making him feel worse. He flinches at the sound of his own name. This is weird to me, because it's the two smallest members of The Gang encouraging the biggest member that he's not small. Like, Petrie's not going to grow very big as an adult, sure, but what's Ducky's excuse for still being tiny?

Over with Cera's dad, he runs into a female Threehorn named Tria and they seem to know each other, they're surprised to see each other again. Tria calls him Topsy, and is immediately flirtatious, talking about how handsome he still is. "Topsy" is very flustered and nervous. He gets so flustered that when he turns around, he stabs his horn into a tree and gets stuck!

Now's as good a time as any to talk about this. Cera's dad was credited as "Daddy Topps" in the credits for the first movie (obviously derived from Triceratops). I was avoiding using that name until it came up in-universe, so I was surprised to hear "Topsy" used before that name. I have to wonder if Topps is ever actually used in the franchise. Topsy definitely sounds like a cutesy nickname for Topps, but it's not quite the same. For now, I'll call him "Topsy" because I think it's funny, but if they ever use "Topps" proper, I'll switch to that.

Coming back, Cera grumbles about eating the first Tree Sweet, then hears her dad say "of course you can have the first Tree Sweet" and she thinks he's talking to her until she hears Tria talking back. Cera calls out and Topsy hurriedly whispers that they should get together later. Tria gets the hint and saunters off before Cera arrives. Cera questions who he was talking to and Topsy deflects, suggesting they go to the watering hole together and have some father-daughter bonding time. She's still suspicious, but goes along with it.

The animation in this movie is VERY cartoony, with a LOT of squash and stretch. It really doesn't fit.

Littlefoot returns home, grumbling about what Cera said. He tries to climb a rock, but can't quite reach. Grandpa pushes him up with his head.

Littlefoot (angrily): "What's the matter, you think I'm too small or something? Can't make it on my own?"

Grandpa (chuckling): "Why no, Littlefoot. That's not it at all!"

Littlefoot: "Well, you'd be right. I am small."

Grandpa: "Perhaps, for now. But you'll grow!"

Grandma: "Of course you will, Littlefoot. Just think how big your dad is, and your grandfather. Why, he was once your size, and look at him now!"

Yeah, just look at his big-ol' off-model face! Good call-back to Bron, though, since he was introduced last movie.

Littlefoot is surprised at that, and Grandpa confirms that he was that exact size as a kid.

Grandma: "Not by your age, of course."

Grandpa: "Eh, well, noooo, eh, by your age I had grown..."

Littlefoot: *gasp* "... thanks..."

Grandpa promises that he will grow as Littlefoot sadly walks away.

Huh, so Littlefoot actually IS a late bloomer, Cera wasn't making shit up. Maybe Shorty was a bit younger than Littlefoot. Man, that legit sucks, considering we've still got 3 more movies and a whole tv show to go, and Littlefoot's design isn't going to change at all.

Littlefoot walks over to the Tree Sweet tree, on a ledge over it, and decides that he's feeling so bad that he's just gonna steal one of the Tree Sweets. He reaches out, part of the ledge crumbles, and he falls off into the tree! He falls through the tree, hitting branch after branch on the way down, until he hits the ground and looks up to see that all of the leaves and Tree Sweets have fallen off! Every single one.

He then passes out.

He wakes up to see a tiny teal Longneck standing on his stomach. The tiny Longneck eats the Tree Sweet off his nose, and then Littlefoot sits up and sees a whole herd of multicolored tiny Longnecks eating the fallen Tree Sweets around him!

These are Mussasaurus (meaning "Mouse Lizard"). Previously assumed to be naturally tiny sauropods even as adults, they were later discovered to just be the baby forms of a much larger dinosaur. Paleontologists didn't make the connection because Mussasaurus grew from quadrupedal to bipedal as they grew up (bipedalism is rare for sauropods). The adult Mussasaurus was 26 feet long.

There were no kitten-sized dinosaurs.

Now, do I blame this movie for thinking these tiny sauropods actually existed, especially since the movie came out in 2005 and the discovery connecting these dinosaurs was only made in 2013?

(Said through gritted teeth) No, I don't blame the movie. They couldn't have known the whole premise of their film would be based on false information debunked 8 years later. Even though the adult Mussasaurus was first discovered in 1980...

Do I still think the writers just looking up "weird dinosaurs", finding these tiny-ass sauropods, and then made a full-length movie centering its entire plot around the Mussasaurus without even questioning its potential validity is incredibly fuck-stupid?

YES, yes I do!!

Am I suggesting that the writers for this animated kid's movie should have done enough professional research to make a scientific breakthrough 8 years early and completely torpedo their own movie idea, scrapping it? Maybe! Probably not, but maybe.

Am I still going to mercilessly make fun of this movie for being wrong in this aspect? YES, yes I am! Will this egregious inaccuracy hurt my final score of the movie?... Yes. Yes it will.

Also, it's really lazy that the Tinysauruses have the same exact design as Littlefoot, just smaller and in multiple colors. Especially after last movie had such a wide variety of unique sauropod designs.

Anyway, Littlefoot screams in terror at the army of Mini-Mes and they all scatter, leaving no Tree Sweets behind in their wake. He gasps when he sees someone coming, and runs away. Topsy and Tria walk out of the forest.

Tria: "Did you hear something?"

Topsy: "Just a Flyer."

Tria: "If you say so, big fella. But it sure sounded to me like somebody screaming."

Topsy: "Naahhh, what would anybody have to scream about on a beautiful day like today?" *he sees the barren Tree Sweet tree* "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Topsy's scream is so loud it alerts all the other dinosaurs in the Great Valley and creates a small rockslide. Grandma and Grandpa hear, and Grandpa rolls his eyes at Mr. Threehorn getting riled up again.

Later, everyone is gathered around the Tree Sweet tree. Cera is pissed she's not gonna get the first one. Topsy laments the loss of all those delicious Tree Sweets, then accuses someone in the crowd of stealing them.

Tria: "Well, I was sure looking forward to eating one of those Tree Sweets because... well because, Topsy here promised me the very first one! Didn't you, handsome?"

Topsy: *nondescript blushing grunts*

Petrie: "... did her say 'Topsy'? Ewwww!" *Cera hits him with her tail* "DOH! What's the matter with-"

Littlefoot: "I DIDN'T DO IT! YOU HEAR ME? I DIDN'T DO IT!"

Everyone immediately turns to stare at Littlefoot. Tria recognizes him, she saw him running away from the tree. Littlefoot defends himself that he didn't eat the Tree Sweets, a ton of tiny Longnecks did! Littlefoot was just passing by, and he ran to get help! Nobody believes him, EVERYONE laughs at him, and Cera comments that he's in big trouble. But then Topsy stops laughing when he looks down and sees a fragment of a petal with tiny bite marks on them, too small even for Littlefoot!

Topsy immediately pivots with all the grace of a prima ballerina to the subject of racism, getting everyone riled up about the tiny pests eating their food, which starts song 1 of the movie, Creepy Crawlies.

Okay, there's not much to say about this song itself, it's repetitive, boring, and shallow. It sucks. It brings back the racism theme with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer and turns the whole Great Valley into a lynch mob. Like this is basically The Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast but 10 times worse. I get the point of the song, I just think it does it poorly. But there is a lot to talk about around the song.

Like, for some reason, the official youtube upload cuts out a dialogue scene right in the middle, between the adult section and the kid section. That dialogue scene has Topsy decide they need to hunt them down and exterminate them! Grandpa advocates for them, saying they have just as much of a right to live here and eat the Tree Sweets as we do. Which gets him pushback from everyone, even Grandma argues against that! They all split up to search, and Tria goes with Topsy. He asks Cera if she wants to search with him, since they need to talk, but she rejects him to search with Littlefoot.

And there's a Rainbow Face singing with them?! But this obviously isn't one of the two from 7, he's got a different voice, and there's NO WAY the Rainbow Faces from 7 would be against tiny creatures living among us. 1, they would already know about them and have made contact. 2, if they didn't, they would be ECSTATIC to make contact with an undiscovered civilization. So I guess not all Gallimimuses are aliens? Or the writers just didn't care. Either way, it shows a flagrant disregard for continuity.

Also, I can't help but laugh at Grandpa saying that everything has a role to play, when the Tinysauruses aren't even real dinosaurs, they DON'T have a real place in the ecosystem! I can already tell that prehistorical inaccuracy is going to DESTROY that message of the movie in my eyes.

After the song, the adults are searching and making fools of themselves. A couple of parasaurolophuses bonk heads searching tall grass. A Longneck mistakes her tail for a creature and chases it around a rock. A styracosaurus searches under a tree root and then gets his frill stuck. Ducky and Spike are having fun searching, but they don't think the grown-ups are very good at it. Or that Petrie can see much when he's flying super high up.

Sure enough, Petrie (from above the clouds) sees a tiny Longneck and dives down to catch it, like a peregrine falcon zooming down toward his prey!

He had this same problem with a boulder in 9, Petrie needs to get a handle on the idea that things look tiny when you're far away from them.

Littlefoot and Cera are looking under rocks. Well, Littlefoot is looking, Cera is pouting. Littlefoot is embellishing his story more and more, now they swarmed all over the tree, but Cera tells him to shut up. Littlefoot changes the subject to ask about the female Threehorn with her dad, and whether he likes her, and if she's gonna be Cera's new mom.

That sets Cera off. She snaps and full-on charges at Littlefoot, and he runs away! He hides behind a tree as she smashes through a bush next to it, and he apologizes for bringing it up. She tells him to never mention that again and then stomps away, clearly not interested in finding tiny Longnecks. Littlefoot wanders off, contemplating how he'd ever find something so little in a Valley this big, when he suddenly falls into a small hole in the ground!

He finds himself in a cave, not too far underground. He calls out for help, but then his ass starts talking.

???: "Would you get off, please?"

Littlefoot: "Huh? H-h-huh?"

???: "Do you mind?! I can't breathe!"

Littlefoot gets up and reveals a tiny green Longneck. It stretches.

???: "Ah! That's better!"

Littlefoot screams and runs away, leaving the tiny green Longneck confused.

???: "Was it something I said?"

Over with Cera, she's stomping and kicking rocks, but then hears some suspicious giggling. She finds Tria and her dad giggling and flirting at the edge of a cliff, looking romantically at the sunset and nuzzling horns. She demands to know if they found any tiny Longnecks. He stammers and studders and just lets out a "hi, honey".

Cera: "Hi."

Topsy: "Cera, here's somebody I've been wanting you to meet. She just migrated here after the cold time and uh, well, hehe, the funniest thing: we know each other! Oh, from a long time ago. I was a wild young fella, and she was the cutest, weh-"

Tria: "Cut it out."

They go back to giggling for a bit.

Topsy: "But so, um, anyway. Her name's Tria."

Tria: "Hello, Cera. Topsy's told me so much about you."

Cera: "Funny, he hasn't told me anything about you!"

Cera walks off. Topsy thinks that went well, and Tria looks at him like he's crazy.

Back with Littlefoot, he's sliding and running down a tunnel until he emerges in a cross-section of a bunch of tunnels. He looks up and sees the tiny smiling green Longneck. He stands up and sees more tiny Longnecks on various ledges. The green Longneck asks him not to run away again. Littlefoot worries they'll do something to him, and they all laugh with this really bad and creepy two-frame laugh animation, and comment that they can't do anything to him, since he's so huge. Littlefoot basks in being called huge for a bit.

The green Tinysaurus asks if he remembers him. He's the one who stood on Littlefoot's stomach and ate the Tree Sweet off his nose. Littlefoot denies it, saying it was some other Longneck. The green Tinysaurus is pretty sure, but accepts it. He introduces himself as Skitter, and Littlefoot introduces himself. The Tinysauruses all laugh at the idea of his feet being "little". Skitter introduces Rocky and his twin sister Dusty (the yellow and dark yellow ones standing behind him, on the first level). But he gets them mixed up, Dusty is the dark yellow one. Then he introduces Lizzie, the orange one on the right. He tries to introduce more, but then a booming voice interrupts him and they scram and tell Littlefoot to hide.

The booming voice is Big Daddy, who walks out and demands they show themselves. They do, but when Littlefoot shows himself, Big Daddy faints from shock.

Big Daddy is voiced by MICHEAL CLARKE DUNCAN!!! Stunt casting at its finest, folks! And it's not obvious in this shot, but Big Daddy is actually even smaller than the other Tinysauruses.

Wait a minute. I just noticed something. It's hard to tell because they're so small, but the Tinysauruses have two sets of nostrils. They have the dot nostrils at the top of their heads like Littlefoot, but they also have the little round nostrils that Chomper has. What the fuck? That's the only substantial difference from Littlefoot's base design (aside from Big Daddy's chin)? Two extra nostrils? Why?! The real mussasaurus didn't have four nostrils! I'm never gonna be able to unsee that. Just one more reason to hate these fuckin' Fraggle wannabes!

When Big Daddy wakes up, he accuses Littlefoot of telling the big ones about them. Skitter corrects him, it was actually a Longneck that looks like him, and Rocky and Dusty suggest that he's got a twin (oh great, we're doing a "liar revealed" plotline, I hate those). Big Daddy accepts it, but still scolds them for bringing him here. Big Daddy is especially disappointed in Lizzie, his own daughter.

Littlefoot responds that they didn't bring him here, he fell in, and the camera reveals the hole he fell through in the background. Wait, what? He ran through a bunch of tunnels! This was obviously a different room! The hole shouldn't be visible from here! Goddamnit, continuity guys!

Big Daddy laughs it off, since it's no-one's fault. But then he angrily announces that they're moving. The Tinysauruses complain, but he insists, since the big ones know they're here. Littlefoot says he won't tell, but Big Daddy insists they have to move, the big ones are looking for them so hard they haven't been able to sneak out at night to find food, they're starving.

Wait a minute, it's been multiple days?! Since when?! That doesn't even make sense! Cera just talked to her dad about Tria, did she not talk to him for multiple days?! Even though they sleep in the same nest?!

This is a plot hole. This is a full-on, actual-ass plot hole. Not just in continuity with another movie, but in continuity with itself. By the story we've been given until now, the Tinysauruses ate the Tree Sweets earlier today, their bellies should be full. But now, they're starving because they haven't been able to sneak out at night and eat for several days. This is a plot hole. And we're only 30 minutes in!

Littlefoot offers to help with their food problems, then climbs up that rock ramp on the right of the hole to leave since it's getting late. He pretends to sleep with his grandparents, then sneaks off to gather food, hiding from the patrols. He plucks a bush clean of leaves, then swats the pile into the hole. They thank him.

The next day, Littlefoot is sleeping in, and Petrie wakes him up because "the little Longnecks have striked again!" Topsy has gathered everyone to raise the alarm about them stealing the tree stars off this one little bush.

He demands that everyone redouble their efforts until they're found. Cera is watching, and Tria tries to talk to her about his good points and how she'd like to get to know both of them better. Cera yells at her and walks away. Petrie, Ducky, and Spike meet with Cera and tell her that her dad promised some sort of special treat for the first one to find them.

Cera: "Yeah? Like what?"

Ducky: "I do not know exactly, but ol' Topsy says-"

Cera headbutts Ducky and pins her to a wall!

Cera: "Don't EVER call my dad that again, GOT IT?!?!"

Ducky: "Yup."

Cera lets her go and stomps off. Later, The Gang are hunting for tiny Longnecks, when Littlefoot sees Skitter and Lizzie just out in the open, standing on a rock! He calls out a distraction and the others go after it, allowing the Tinysauruses to return to their hole with an acorn. Man, they should be better at stealth than that!

That night, Littlefoot gives them another pile of leaves. The next day, he falls asleep on Grandpa's head while browsing a treetop (Grandpa just thinks it's cute). That night, Topsy tries talking to Cera.

Topsy: "Cera, are you awake? Look, I'm- I- I- I- I don't, I um, it's just that... ohhh, this is so much harder than yelling. Look, Tria's an old friend, and she doesn't have anyone. She needs protection, and she's really nice. She- well, she likes me! And I like her."

Cera: "Mrgh, but I want things back the way they were before, when you didn't like anybody and nobody liked you!"

Topsy: "...I don't think things are ever going to be that way again."

Topsy goes off to bed while Cera sheds a few angry tears. After he goes to sleep, she sneaks off at night, complaining about Tria. She sees Littlefoot sneaking around, then goes to wake up Ducky. Ducky is initially terrified, cowering and insisting she didn't call Cera's dad "Topsy", but Cera just rolls her eyes and tells her to bring Spike. At Petrie's nest, Ducky climbs up but can't quite make it inside. To wake Petrie up and keep from falling, she grabs him and pulls him out of the nest!

Petrie (flapping like mad to stay aloft with Ducky holding on): "What. Is. Matter with you?!"

Ducky: "Cera was wondering if you could come down!"

Petrie: "Well, me think me have no choice!"

They fall to the ground.

Later, they see Littlefoot sweeping a pile of leaves and wonder what he's doing. Bringing a snack back to his grandparents? Collecting tree stars in his sleep? Nobody but Cera really cares. Spike trips over a rock and Littlefoot almost catches them, but he brushes the sound off. When The Gang look back, he's gone, and they investigate.

In the cave system, Littlefoot is with the Tinysauruses and Skitter looks up at a shadow.

Skitter: "Not again!"

Cera, Ducky, Spike, and Petrie all fall on top of him. Big Daddy questions what this is. Ducky and Petrie are amazed to see the "sneaky, mean little Longnecks", and Cera hears moaning from underneath her.

Cera (getting up): "'Scuse me!" *Skitter crawls out from under her* "Whoa, you are short, aren't you?"

Skitter: "I used to be taller!"

Ha! Okay, that's a good joke.

Petrie, Ducky, and Spike are excited to tell the grown-ups and get the special treat, but Littlefoot tells them not to. Cera agrees with Littlefoot, they WON'T tell on them. Big Daddy and Petrie are confused, and she explains that she's doing this specifically to spite her dad, and she doesn't care if he gets mad. Ducky is confused about whatever's going on between Cera and Topsy. Cera insists they're NOT going to tell him, and the little Longnecks don't need to worry. Big Daddy believes her, and the Tinysauruses celebrate!

God, this shot looks so fucking stupid. Sorry to ruin the moment, but the premise of this film is so dumb, and knowing how inaccurate it is makes it impossible to take seriously. Tiny Longnecks, pshaw!

The Tinysauruses offer to show them around, and Big Daddy wants to object, but he knows they're gonna do it anyway. Cera and Lizzie bond over having dads that get mad.

They gather in an open cave with a pool of water. Ducky and Petrie give the Tinysauruses water and aerial rides (I guess they're lighter than Ducky, since Petrie was struggling to fly with her just a couple scenes ago). And they slide down Littlefoot's tail. They have a lot of fun running around and playing, but Spike gets stuck in one of their tunnels. They try to get him through, but he sneezes backward and they collapse in a giggling fit.

Cera and Lizzie separate from the group and bond some more over their dads being grumpy and having no sense of humor, and getting the most mad when they're in trouble. This transitions into song 2 of the movie, Girls and Dads.

See what I was talking about earlier?! The Tinysauruses have two sets of nostrils, and it's really weird and distracting!

Aside from that, though, I kinda like this song. It's not great, but it's decent. The lyrics are kinda shallow, but I like the gospel choir, and the singing and character animation is solid.

That one bit where Lizzie walks into a stalagmite is really funny.

Still, I can't really relate to this song, neither being a girl nor having a dad. So I can't connect with it enough to rate it too high. I think a 6/10 is fair, it's above-average.

Afterward, Lizzie comments that she wishes he wouldn't worry so much, like if he had someone else to worry about, or someone else to help him worry about her, and Cera knows what she's talking about.

Oh, c'mon, we're back to this?! This was one of my few problems with the last movie, the implication that single parents are insufficient, and this movie's gonna double down on it?! Man, that song actually won me over a little, and now this has soured my mood again. It's such a bizarre message to push since Petrie and Ducky also have single parents. It's the norm here, rather than the exception.

The Gang climbs the rock to leave through the hole, exhausted and very sleepy. They promise to bring food and keep their secret safe.

Lizzie: "Bye, Cera! Don't worry so much daddy, we can trust them. Especially Cera!"

Big Daddy: "I hope you're right, Lizzie. But there's one thing you got to remember about the big ones: just because they're bigger, they think that makes them more important, and sometimes they forget about the little details. Like us."

WRONG! You guys aren't even a real species of dinosaur, you're not "little details"! The message of this movie is wrong!

Littlefoot returns to his grandparents, and it's almost dawn. He curls up to sleep, and Grandma almost immediately wakes him up. Ducky and Spike are sleepy, while their siblings run around. Spike falls asleep on top of her! (we've seen that bit before) Petrie is so sleepy he sleep-flies, crashing into a tree, then slides down and falls asleep on the roots. Cera falls asleep on a small tree, but then Tria wakes her up and it thwacks Cera in the face.

Tria: "Are you okay, honey? You look beat."

Cera: "I'm fine." *she walks away*

Tria: "Look, Cera. I have tried every way I know to be nice to you but you've shrugged me off. Fine! I'm a big girl, I can take it. But I like your dad, I always did and he likes me! And I think we're good for each other! And I could be good for you, too, if you'd let me. I could be someone who'd... help your dad worry about you, y'know? I was hoping we could be friends. But I guess that's up to you." *she walks away*

Cera: "...Tria, wait! Maybe we could give it a try. Being... friends."

This is a nice scene. I like Tria being assertive, but still kind. It really makes me wonder what happened in the past, though. Because, believe it or not, we've actually seen Cera's mom before. In movie 1:

She's the grey one, Cera's dad is the black one. She and Ducky's dad are both in the first movie. Cera's mom and dad reunite with her at the end of the film, and Ducky introduces Spike to both of her parents. But for some reason, between the first movie and the second, Cera's mom and Ducky's dad disappeared, and between the second movie and third, Cera's siblings disappeared, too. Petrie always had a single parent, and his siblings have appeared as recently as movie 7, so that's mostly fine.

Will this movie finally address Cera's mom? Probably not, but one can hope.

Whatever, back to movie 11. That night, Skitter and Lizzie are waiting for food. The Gang are intending to bring food back, but then Cera's dad discovers them and demands an explanation. Cera tries to turn it back on him, asking what's he's doing out so late. He stammers, but insists he's just doing guard duty, and the kids should be home, it's not safe out here with those little Longnecks. Cera claims they woudn't hurt anyone, and he questions why. She covers by pointing out the size difference, they're so small, they're probably harmless!

Topsy: "It's the little ones you have to worry about. Now, shoo! Skedaddle! Back home, all of you! Don't let me catch you out this late again! Now MOVE!"

He stomps on the ground and they get the message, running away. In the cave, Lizzie gets tired of waiting and leaves. Skitter follows her. Big Daddy just barely missed them.

Up top, Topsy hears a noise and calls out, but it's just Tria. He repeats what he said to Cera, it's not safe for her with these creatures. She tells him to lighten up and "you can't blame a girl for trying, walk me back?" He accepts and starts to, but then suddenly decides to turn around and return to guarding, right when Lizzie tries to run behind him! They're both frozen, mouths wide open in shock, but Tria thinks it's adorable. Skitter runs after Lizzie, but he trips on a vine and topples into her, snapping Topsy out of it! He chases after them, ignoring Tria's cries to leave them alone!

Wow, Tria. Just because they're cute you switch sides that easily? You were all-in on hunting them down in Creepy Crawlies. Seems kind shallow.

They jump down the hole and Topsy gets his head stuck in it. Tria is happy they got away, and Topsy shoots her a glare.

Later that same night, he's gathered everyone and tells the story of how he chased the vicious vermin and found their lair! They're going to destroy it and them forever! Tria objects!

Tria: "Sure they're little but they're cute and frightened! We should just... leave them alone!"

Topsy: "If you don't know what you're talking about, you shouldn't talk at all!"

Tria: *gasp* "What?!"

An ankylosaur in the crowd suggests sealing up their hideout with rocks, and almost everyone agrees and heads over to the hole. Littlefoot begs his Grandpa to stop them, but he's not sure how. At the hole, Topsy and the ankylosaur push a giant rock on a cliff above the hole. Everyone is ranting, and Littlefoot begs them to listen to him, but they ignore him. Littlefoot runs up to the cliff and stands on top of the big rock as he yells something that will make them listen:

Littlefoot: "Stop, please! You're making a big mistake! I'm the one who took all the Tree Sweets off the Tree Sweet tree!"

Everyone is shocked to hear that.

Littlefoot: *gulp* "I didn't mean to! The tiny Longnecks ate the Tree Sweets, but they wouldn't have if I hadn't knocked them all off the tree. I was gonna tell the truth, but when I saw how mad everybody was, I got scared! So I blamed everything on the tiny Longnecks..."

The Tinysauruses are also listening to this, and they're just as shocked as everyone else by this confession. Except for Big Daddy, who knew the big ones couldn't be trusted.

Littlefoot finishes his speech by asserting that they're really nice, and he's sorry. This is meant to be the big turning point, the big "liar revealed" moment. But aside from my general dislike of that type of plot, it also doesn't hit for me because Littlefoot's voice actor completely fails to sell the scene. He's just a bad replacement.

Grandpa tells everyone to just go home, and they acquiesce. Topsy comes down the cliff and Tria's PISSED at him. Littlefoot comes down and The Gang are PISSED at him, too! The movie is saying these two things are equivalent. Grandpa picks up Littlefoot and right before they leave, the cliff under the big rock gives way, and the whole thing collapses on the hole!

Littlefoot and his grandparents are sad, but still leave. The camera zooms in ominously at a hole in the rocks, that little triangular hole just slightly upper-right of center.

Littlefoot's grandparents are asleep, but Littlefoot can't sleep. He walks away and sings song 3 of the movie: If Only.

The song has a good concept, but the execution is iffy. I really like the sunrise as a symbol. But the singing itself, both from Littlefoot and Grandpa, is a bit off. This is the first song Grandpa has had, and Kenneth Mars's singing voice is definitely different from his character voice, making it a bit distracting.

The message is a little muddy, too. Grandpa tells Littlefoot that lies get taller, but then when you lose your way, your troubles get bigger. So, like, lying isn't "losing your way", that's a separate beat? And then Grandpa tells Littlefoot that making mistakes is an important part of learning and growing, but then he says that if you follow your heart, you won't ever have regrets. Those two sentiments seem at odds to me.

And this song definitely feels too short. The pace is so slow, and the first 15 seconds and last 15 seconds barely count, leaving the song overall at like 1:45 with a 10-second break in the middle. It REALLY needed more time to cook with its message, especially for how epic it felt like it was trying to be.

After the song, we check in with the Tinysauruses. They're okay, but in a new tunnel created by the rockslide. Rocky and Dusty ask which direction they should go, and Big Daddy leads them away from the Great Valley.

Littlefoot goes to see Ducky, Petrie, and Spike, but they're all pissed off at him.

Littlefoot understands why everyone else would be mad at him, but not why they would be. Ducky and Petrie are having trouble finding the right words, and Littlefoot tells them to just lay it all out.

Ducky: "You messed up the tree-sweets tree, so I did not get any tree-sweets, and neither did anybody else."

Spike: "Uh-huh."

Petrie: "You make friends with tiny ones, but you make everybody mad at them, so they unhappy now, too! So why you make friends with them in the firstest place?"

Spike: "Uh-huh."

Ducky: "You made the grown-ups so mad that they knocked rocks down on the tiny little longnecks. So they are now covered up with rocks, and I do not think that is fair, either."

Petrie: "Plus! Spike eated all the bestest tree stars me found this morning!"

Littlefoot points out that wasn't him, and they agree they're done ranting and turn away from him again.

Littlefoot: "For folks who didn't think they could explain how they felt, you did a pretty good job... So is that it? You guys won't even talk to me?"

Petrie: "You hear somebody? Me no hear nobody."

Ducky: "I do not hear nobody either."

Littlefoot leaves, angry.

Fun fact: I broke my nose because of that "did you hear something" bit. Someone at high school did that to everyone, so I decided to do it to them, figuring that turnabout is fair play, and then they hit me in the face with a textbook.

Also, and this is a problem I had with the last couple scenes, too, but the reaction to the rocks falling on the Tinysauruses has been REALLY muted. Way too much of an underreaction from everyone on that point.

Cera walks up to Tria for a talk. She's worried Tria is mad at her, but Tria isn't. Tria's mad at Topsy, both for yelling at her and being so mean to the little Longnecks, apparently he didn't used to be so mean. Cera points out that her dad was planning to give Tria the first Tree Sweet, meaning the reason he was so harsh on the tiny Longnecks was because of how much he likes Tria. For some reason, Tria is flattered by this.

Speaking of the Tinysauruses, they've found the end of the tunnel, leading out into the Mysterious Beyond. A barren wasteland stretches out for miles in front of them.

Big Daddy: "...Well, at least we won't have big ones chasing us all the time!" *gasp at seeing two Sharpteeth* "Of course, I could be wrong. RUUUUUUN!"

The two Sharpteeth chase them into and through the cave! Dusty trips and Rocky runs back to push her up!

These two are Utahraptors, according to Wikipedia. I guess the idea is that the two biggest raptors are chasing the smallest sauropods (even though they're not even real, and the real smallest sauropods are bigger than Utahraptors). I do kinda like these tracking chase scenes, they've done this a couple times in this movie.

The Tinysauruses hide in some rocks and the Utahraptors run past them toward the Great Valley. The others are worried about their friends in the Great Valley, but Big Daddy dismisses their concerns. Littlefoot walks past the rockslide grumbling to himself, and after he passes, the Sharpteeth squeeze through the hole in the rockslide.

With The Gang, Petrie and Ducky are scolding each other for being mean to Littlefoot, and Spike takes Ducky's side that Petrie was the meanest. Petrie breaks out into tears, which makes Ducky and Spike start crying, and they become this big pathetic blubbering mess.

Cera: "Now, that's a disgusting sight!"

Agreed. She scolds them for wallowing in misery, telling them to find Littlefoot and apologize for being mean to him.

Petrie: "How- how come you so smart all of a sudden 'bout making things better?"

Cera: "I've just gotten some practice lately. Hey, there's Littlefoot now!"

She says, in response to seeing a shadow pass by behind a log. They run over, then the Sharpteeth jump out and chase them! The blue one jumps in front of Cera when Tria comes in from the side with a headbutt!

Tria tells Cera to run as it gets up and starts chasing again. The red one chases Ducky, but Littlefoot pulls back a branch and snaps it into the Sharptooth's face! Red gets up and continues chasing them as Ducky apologizes for what she said. Spike accidentally trips Red while running from Blue, but then he's cornered against a rock wall! Petrie defends Spike by pecking Blue in the face, but then flies backward into a tree branch, knocking himself out! Blue closes in, but then starts... laughing?

Lizzie and Skitter are on its back, tickling it! This is ridiculous. Over with Red, it charges at Tria as she stands her ground to protect the kids! But then, Topsy comes in to provide backup! He slams Red with his horns, sending Red flying! Over with Blue, it bites its own tail accidentally while knocking the little Longnecks off. Red and Blue converge and close in on the fallen Tinysauruses, and Spike and Petrie stand their ground to protect their friends!

Big Daddy: "Hey, you! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?!"

That line doesn't even work here! The Tinysauruses swarm over the Sharpteeth and skeletonize them like piranhas in 5 seconds flat moderately annoy them.

The Sharpteeth panic and run into each other, knocking all the Tinysauruses off. They then try to eat the delicious buffet that has been served up to them.

Topsy: "Hang on little ones!" *sigh* "I'm coming!"

Topsy faces off against both Sharpteeth, protecting the kids and Tinysauruses behind him as they split up to approach from either side.

And apparently Petrie's feeling up to protecting everyone with Topsy? He's right up in front. Huh.

But before something actually cool could happen, we hear a cacophony of yelling from all the other grown-ups coming in. The Sharpteeth run away from the stampede. Later, Grandpa and the ankylosaur push another rock down to block off the hole in the rockslide (I'm starting to think that ankylosaur just likes pushing rocks). Littlefoot's surprised the Tinysauruses came back, and Skitter responds that they're friends!

Topsy: "I'm uh, well, I'm sorry for all the trouble that I caused."

Big Daddy: "Hey, you're a dad. That's what we do! But you also saved my daughter's life, and for that, I'm grateful."

Tria: "Way to go, Topsy. You're the big hero!"

Just in case his actions were too subtle for the viewing audience, Tria spells out what we're supposed to think. And apparently "what dads do" is lead genocidal campaigns for several days on-end. TIL. And because I'm not done making fun of this scene, no, Big Daddy. Topsy did not save your daughter. YOU saved your daughter. Topsy saved YOU. Get it straight.

Grandpa: "I'm sorry we had to seal up that new tunnel. We don't want any Sharpteeth getting back in."

Littlefoot: "Great, that means you've gotta stay!"

Big Daddy: *sigh* "Well, I guess if we gotta, you know, we gotta..." *everyone looks sad* "Besides, who'd wanna leave friends like you?" *everyone laughs and is merry*

The next time the Tree Sweets bloom, all the dinosaurs gather for Nibbling Day (including the Tinysauruses).

Littlefoot reaches up and plucks the first Tree Sweet. He gives it to Cera, who gives it to Tria, who gives it to... Rocky? Odd choice. I would have gone with Lizzie.

Littlefoot: "Did you see, Grandpa?! I could reach! I'm bigger now!"

Grandpa: "Littlefoot, you grew bigger the day you stood up in front of everyone and admitted you were wrong."

Grandpa, not everything needs to be a "teachable moment", Littlefoot was talking literally, not metaphorically. And that was, like, months ago.

Grandpa grabs the top of the tree and shakes the Tree Sweets out, and everyone looks at the falling flowers in wonder and bites them out of the air.

Narrator: "And every Nibbling Day, the dinosaurs of the Great Valley gathered to celebrate these small things of life, which mattered so much."

During the credits, they play a remix of Creepy Crawlies sung by the Tinysauruses called Stupid Stompers.

This is weird. I compared Creepy Crawlies earlier to The Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast, but having this counterpoint makes it more like Savages from Pocahontas. Which isn't a good thing! Savages is MUCH worse than The Mob Song!

I'm guessing maybe they originally had this song in the movie but didn't have a good place for it, so they cut it but liked it too much to cut entirely? It muddies the racism theme more, making it more of a "both sides have prejudices" angle, instead of the Tinysauruses just being oppressed.

As a song, it's still bad, but I think I like it a little better than Creepy Crawlies. However, everything around it is worse and it doesn't even have any visuals, so it gets the same score, 2/10. It spits on the happy ending of togetherness we just got, ending the film on a sour note.

This movie references 3 a lot. Cera's dad is the main antagonist for much of the story and gets a lot of development. Cera is paralleled with another kid whose dad is harsh and mean (Hyp/Lizzie). There's a tacked-on action climax with raptor Sharpteeth. It ends with the Great Valley coming together for a holiday of sharing with each other, and the specific bit of handing food from one dinosaur to the next happened in 3 as well.

But it's MUCH worse than 3.

It brought back the racism theme to the forefront, after it was in the background for 5 films. That's... something, I guess. Topsy is honestly great in this movie, both sensitive and fascist. The whole Tria subplot is fantastic, a lot of honest emotions and conversations come through. But it ends too gently, too nicely. 3 had Cera's dad do a whole speech admitting fault and showing understanding in where he went wrong, this one just has a short apology that gets brushed under the rug by the victims he was terrorizing.

Cera is weirdly mean and out-of-character, even before knowing about Tria gives her an excuse.

Using a Rainbow Face as a bigoted and ignorant crowd extra in Creepy Crawlies shows a STAGGERING level of disregard for the themes and story of 7.

Bringing back the implication that single parents are insufficient from 10 really bothers me.

The pacing is fine. A little slow overall, but no major hiccups. The movie introduces the Tinysauruses pretty early on, and they're the main draw. It doesn't have the "halfway point" issue.

Girls and Dads is the only decent song here. Creepy Crawlers/Stupid Stompers straight-up sucks, and If Only has a good concept but poor execution.

As characters, the Tinysauruses aren't AS annoying as they COULD have been. They ARE annoying, but they're not as bad as Dana and Dinah or Ozzy and Strut. They're more on the level of Tippy. That is, pretty annoying and making every scene they're in worse, but ultimately harmless. Not inspiring hate, just dislike.

Supposedly, the Tree Sweet tree and Tinysauruses have always lived in the Great Valley the whole time, just tucked away in their little corner and undiscovered until now. Except it doesn't make sense.

What about 3? There was a long drought followed by a massive fire and then a flood, and afterward all the dinosaurs worked together to search every square inch of the Great Valley and discover as many green food sources as they could.

What about 5? Locusts ate all the green food in the Great Valley, and everyone had to relocate until it grew back.

What about 8? A blizzard destroyed all the green food in the Great Valley, and everyone had to relocate until it grew back.

What about 9? There was a ton of flooding in the Great Valley due to nonstop rain.

I thought they were going to have some sort of connection between the Tinysauruses and the Tree Sweet tree, like it's their main source of food and they're the primary pollinators of it, or something like that. But nope. No connection is ever drawn, they just happen to live nearby. In fact, the whole "everything has its place in nature and little things are important" theme doesn't really go anywhere. They never address WHY the Tinysauruses are important to the ecosystem, despite multiple lines implying they are.

The Utahraptor Sharpteeth are a little funny in how pathetic they are, but not in a way that was intentional, like the Sarcosuchus was in 10. We're definitely supposed to take these Sharpteeth seriously, even though they get clowned on over and over again.

It's funny how Topsy and Big Daddy are such important characters, given that both of them have fucking ridiculous names in this film. Seriously, it was SO hard to keep a straight face writing "Topsy" and "Big Daddy" every time!

Spike is honestly pretty good in this film. Very expressive and involved. Petrie's pretty good, too.

Pros: The pacing is okay. Topsy is great. Tria's subplot is fantastic. One song is decent.

Cons: Mussasaurus wasn't like that! The Tinysauruses are annoying. Wasted potential, as far as themes go. The other songs suck. Previous movies make the premise questionable. I hate "liar revealed" stories. Littlefoot's voice is bad. There's a plot hole. The characters don't care enough about the rockslide. The Sharpteeth are lame. The fuckin' double nostrils!

Score: As a movie, divorced from outside context, I'd give it a 3/10. It has slightly more good things going for it than 6 did. But like I said before, the egregious Mussasaurus inaccuracy hurts my overall final score, so I'm dropping it down to a 2/10.

The Land Before Time: 8/10 (hypothetical uncut version: 9/10)

The Great Valley Adventure: 8/10

The Time of the Great Giving: 7/10

Journey Through The Mists: 7/10

The Mysterious Island: 9/10

The Secret of Saurus Rock: 2/10

The Stone of Cold Fire: 10/10

The Big Freeze: 6/10

Journey To Big Water: 4/10

The Great Longneck Migration: 9/10

Invasion of the Tinysauruses: 2/10

Silly au concept

I dunnos how to explain it but I guessed you'd enjoy the concept art

So Lunar's the oldest yes

And he didn't actually mind being alone that much but one day he got bored and took control of Moon just to tinker with Sun's code

Clipsy was born and lemme just

And the lore goes pretty much as normal until Moon and Monty try to tell Lunar Eclipse wasn't erm.. the greatest mentally

Lunar did not appreciate the casual roasting of his little brother so he stuck Moon back in his head and dialed up the pain 100 times higher

Monty manages to convince Lunar that Eclipse shouldn't get the star by telling him Eclipse will start dying because Monty already used the star

Eclipse had been working on bodies for him and Lunar and when Lunar sits him down like "bud you can't have the star :(" Eclipse just feels so immensely betrayed like he'd started believing that maybe, just maybe, Lunar didn't make him to torture him, and Lunar pulls *this*?

So he just uploads himself into the new body and disappears.

Also every time I look at the heights (Eclipse and Lunar) something in me just screams "No no no Eclipse is too tall! Lunar is too short! What are you doing!"

They look adorable!

Also it's such a fascinating concept! I love this AU idea! It's so fun! :D

Itty-bitty baby brother Eclipse and his big brother Lunar who made him and accidentaly screwed stuff up. The delicious angst!

I love the flip on the colours! Lunar looks so good in those bronze colours meanwhile Eclipse looks like he's made from silver! Kinda reminds me of all them folktales in my mother tongue, haha

I want to hear more of this, and more of OSAM (I believe that's what it's called, do correct me if I'm wrong and I'm so sorry if I messed it up, it's still registered as Spitfire!)! Feed me with the AUs, please!

Also noo! Don't leave! Come back lil brother Eclipse! :(

(also is the voice in your head telling you to make Lunar taller than Eclipse, or is he just supposed to be a lil bit taller?)

WWWAAGHHH 'Brothers' Reunite! in VRChaT GUYS

NEXUS BWAHHHHHH He's so SILLY LIKE ACTUALLY him "I'm so evil now blah blah blah" also him - can't say one mean thing about Sun - His...ideas of roasts....omigod...."Earth is too nice because she's filling space cause her daddy doesn't love her" bro...that's the best insult you can make? Then him at Solar "Ewww!" points in a funky way "When did you become so NiCe and HelPfUl" "I ripped out my emotions." "It's tough being a God." Solar "The NSP is killing you!" Nexus, rubs hands and smirks evilly, "oh it PROBABLY is, I can feel it eating away at me. That's the price for power" Nexus "🤪You think I'm a Sociopath like Ruin? 🤢 NO, I'm a PSYChOPATH😠. I'm 💅✨me✨💅" MY GOODDDD AAA AAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BROOOO

Nexus "I am the new dark star GOD"

🤣🤣🤣

Also Solar's GIVING. HE'S GIVING. His tiny whispered "Fuck you"

Solar stabbing him to cure him LMAO Solar call him out!!! Nexus "you know what they say, it's tough to be a God!" HE SAYS, AS A ZAnY DRUM SONG PLAYS

Even the SHOW is making fun of him with the audio edits. THEY PICKED A SILLY SONG!!!

Nexus at the end "🥺👉👈Solar if you wanna be on my side go get shards, 👀Brother 👀"

Also loved how on the EAPs side Puppet asked Sun what to say to EAPs Sun

"Be the friend you never had"

That's EXACTLY what Sun lives by. All his actions are motivated by this honestly! I wonder why Puppet didn't say it right away to EAPs Sun. "Are you lonely" She asks him as he's literally playing with the barrels by himself. I hope we get to know what Solar recommended to Puppet on Eclipse. Lmao sorry I just really liked those eps theayjsrj

Side note staying up too late last night is making my eye lids twitch. I've had a lot of lid twitching.

Gut's Daimon

The Beast of Darkness is offering Guts powers in exchange for yielding himself. Which begs the question to what it is.

It seems like it's more then a figment of Guts imagination since Griffith noticed its presence which is significant.

I have a theory that it is a daimon. Daimons are high class spirits that exist in deep domain of the Astral World. With some of them being humans.

It has been suggested a couple of times that Guts will use the Beherit. But I think there will be a twist and that Guts is already a reincarnation. I think the Beast was a daimon that reincarnated into Guts.

I think the Beast's offer is to tell Guts his true name so he can transform and gain power.

There is an evil opposite of a daimon called a kaikodaimon I think that is what the Beast is. The Astral World is split into light and darkness. And I think Flora hinted at it when she said demons and angels in the deeper layer of the Astral World which is where the Daimons reside.

The Beast of Darkness takes the form of a canine and I think there is a link to the Black Dog Knights.

Also Guts was called a mad dog by Casca.

And appeared as a dog in Casca's dream world.

It's odd that Wyald named his unit the Black Dog Knights even though he looks like a monkey. Not only is he called one by others but acknowledges it himself.

During his fight with Guts Wyald states that he hadn't been hurt that bad in a hundred years.

Which is when the Midland-Tudor War started, I don't think this is a coincidence.

I think the Beast was the original of commander/lord of Doldrey who dressed in dog shape armor. I think Wyald helped Tudor capture Doldrey and the Beast inflicted that would on him. I think Wyald adopted his moniker in homage/mockery. I think after dying he became a daimon.

I think he was mentioned by Guts as the noble who roasted women, children and entire town. I don't think this tidbit was random I think it's important.

I think he got the info from Griffith who studied history. Or Guts read about it himself to learn the history of Doldrey in preparation for that battle.

Guts depicts this noble as a zealot which I think is one reason why the Beast reincarnated and wants to kill Griffith. Griffith is an enemy to the church, their scripture warns about Griffith's coming.

Also I think he wants revenge for the fall of Doldrey. I think the God Hand manipulated those events in their grand plan which is why Wyald was there.

There is precedent Zodd intervened in Guts' battle to ensure the Eclipse happened.

Skull Knight mentioned that Guts might have some ties to the elves. I think the Beast went to them to reincarnate.

The Peekaf story showed that elves can grant wishes similar to the God Hand. And most of the things in that story ended up being true, an example being time dilation.

A hole in my theory is Schierke not noticing this but a person's Od can be hidden. Danann could not sense Griffith within the Moonlight Boy.

Along with the witches they couldn't figure out what the Moonlight Boy was.

Another headcanon I have is that Gambino's and Shisu's biological son was meant to become Griffith's other half. I thought Guts might have been a replacement used to mess up the God Hand's plans. He is reminiscent of a changeling and Guts has a potential link to the elves.

And he was called a devil's child by Gambino which is one of the definitions of a changeling.

I think it will be massive callback to the King's statement about how would be fitting for Griffith to be killed by the black hounds of Hell.

I think the Beast is also inspired by the tiangou a mythological black dog that is capable of eating the moon. The moon is uses to represent the power of causality/the God Hand.

[the-real-rain-world-confessions]

Time to be a bitter bitch and roast some iterator ships, i AM the fun police /jjJJJ

Sunstone, SRS/FP: the only one that makes a lot of sense in my opinion, but somehow their portrayal in fanon is absolute garbage so 2/10 (i personally consider them to be a 10 but i am judging the fanon versions). Pebbles is made into a helpless spineless baby and Suns just takes care of him idk what else to say. Their dynamic is heavily misunderstood often portraying them straight up as mentor/protege when in reality they're just not that

Trafficlights, NSH/SRS: very boring and plain, NSH is either a daddy dom or a cutesy little clown guy, both interpretations suck, while Suns is left with zero of their traits displayed in canon other than being anxious i guess, they're weirdly regal and arrogant in a lot of interpretations. Also largely yaoi-ified 0/10

Ragequit, NSH/FP: NSH doesn't like Pebbles and seemingly has little to no interest talking to him, on top of that likely based his entire perception of him on what Moon had to say about Pebbles. Pebbles is made into some tsundere tiny twink that blushes constantly and this is very common problem with his interpretations in general you guys can't understand him to save your life 0/10

Triple divorce or whatever the fuck SRS/FP/NSH is called: one heck of a dysfunctional polycule, considering that Sig and Pebbles straight up just don't like each other 0/10 Ragequit, trafficlights and sustone made shittier basically

Lilypad, NSH/LTTM: might be idk, i personally don't view their relationship as particularly romantic. Since I think they're good friends i give it a 6/10 even though them not being romantically involved with each other is much more appealing to me

Milkshake, UI/FP: how do you even come up with this did you play the game. Innocence was not helping Pebbles in the slightest by blackmailing the guy and the fact that Wind mentions that its likely an attempt to be mean says plenty. Although not much is known about Innocence it's safe to assume they do not like Pebbles or have any intentions to help him out. The yandere UI fandom stuff is ridiculous 0/10

Moonstone, LTTM/FP: im not into incest 0/10

Eclipse, SRS/LTTM: only exists because of a somewhat cool name

Pebbles/Straw: another nothing burger ship entirely dependant on one's characterization of Straw, not ranking it

Conclusion: 90% of the tumblr rw community needs to play the game

When I said KS and Nexus would meet, I didn't think it would be that soon, my god???!

The episode today is hilarious. KS shows up in Nexus's house, process to roast the shit out of him and then leave. And Nexus let him do so without saying anything????

Like boy??? Sun didn't raise you to be that stupid and wet sock???? Have you not learned anything from Sun when you still live with him???? Where is your sass??

Girl you just died, it's not like your IQ died with you and not agreeing to get revived back.

Nexus just gets dumber and dumber is both sad and funny. Like, even when he is the villain and "irredeemable", he actually doesn't do anything. Like, take some notes from your old man Eclipse, dude knows how to make an entrance, Nexus. You're just so sad right now and not even the villain respects you.

But sidenote, he only focuses on Sun kinda cute and rather sad. Cuz like, he knows, I believe, deep down, Nexus knows Sun still cares about him. And he still cares for Sun too.

Because if this only hates, then why doesn't he find Moon? Why does he blame all of it for Sun? He wants Sun's attention, but also he is too ashamed to get redemption.

Rather hate than love.

He rather Sun hates him to the point want to kill him again, than seeing Sun try to help him. Cuz that means, all his hard work will be nothing. All his deeds will be meaningless....

He is so childish and it is so sad and tragic.

Anyway...So... Moon will be in danger. Nothing new, I hope he won't be damsels in distress this time. And also... The Beast might come back, and find Dazzle. (And without Jack to protect her.... I don't know how it would end...)

More than that, maybe... This Nexus is not Nexus. I afraid this is just another Eclipse V4, that he just has Nexus's memory...

Also... Something interesting... Nexus's power.... It is not wholly star power.... Maybe, wither storm power????

[dana-chan-the-control-brain]

I know the whole "bit" of their podcast is roasting people but Mmm, nuh-uh, I don't like what Monty was saying to Solar. I think you summed it up pretty well with the whole projecting thing.

About the coffee, I got way too happy that Solar confirmed that he drinks coffee because I have been stuck drawing a fanart of him and my overthinking ass is questioning whether he prefers coffee or tea.

I am also happily imagining that Earth invited Solar and Lunar to watch the Barbie movie with her, and that's how Solar learned about the toxic masculinity thing

I know. It was pretty painful to watch, and I don't think I'm wrong in my assessment that Monty straight up hates Solar's guts.

I hope Solar will get his revenge on Monty for this, cause all of the questions in this one seemed downright cruel.

They took it easy with Earth (obviously) but Lunar, Sun, Moon just felt like playful ragging. Ruin was a bit different, cause they genuinely didn't know him, so it just felt like brining up "hey you were evil, remember that? make you mad?"

Solar's interview just felt cruel compared to the others... maybe I'm just too much of a Solar simp but I feel like none of the questions were even neutral. All the question felt like they were made to antagonize him.

I'm glad that Solar is an avid Coffee drinker. I'm glad at least one of the family considers themselves bio-organic enough to eat. (I think Moon does too sometimes. He has his bolts and eats when he feels like it, but far less then Lunar and Earth)

And Yeah! Solar definitely watched the Barbie Movie with Earth. Now watch Eclipse ask for help when he realizes the Patriarchy isn't about horses.

Solar literally said that he is stronger working together with Moon, and Eclipse is toxic because he has no one and refuses help from anyone and sees it as a weakness, and he's not wrong.

1,4 and 5 for the writers ask game🤔🙏🏻

01: When did you first start writing?

Middle school around 12 or 13. I got a lot of praise from my English teacher at the time, and I started writing a chapter fic that was very clearly a self-insert of me being bullied by the popular kids. And I started reading it to the class when we had our daily sharing period at the start of class. Hahaha, it was such a pre-teen, cringe thing to do. And I was basically roasting all of my bullies right in front of them.

Anyways, I wrote a lot of poetry as a teen and then around 16 I started to write fanfic. And I've basically been writing fanfic on and off ever since.

04: Have you ever thrown a book across the room?

Oh sure. I'm pretty sure deep in my Twilight Phase 15+ years ago I threw Eclipse across the room when Jacob threatened to kill himself unless Bella kissed him (and then she did). I also have a very vivid memory of reading the Reek scenes in A Dance With Dragons and certain parts, I think likely when Jeyne Poole marries Ramsey and all the ways she abused her, and being so viscerally disturbed I had to close the book, toss it away from me and walk away from it for a day. Up until that point I had been binge reading ASOIAF. I truly understood what Rachel Green meant when she said she had to put Little Women in the freezer.

05: Did you take writing courses in school/college?

When I was in college I took a creative writing course as one of my humanities electives. The first half was prose and the second half was poetry, and we did the style of workshopping someone's piece each class and the person whose piece was being workshopped could not speak and had to sit there and listen to everyone discuss their writing. It was a little intimidating but did sort of help me with learning to deal with criticism of my writing. I do remember the professor harping on a description I wrote of a smoky sky at dusk. She didn't understand the color imagery. And someone like went hard in my favor haha. That really stuck out to me.

Overall though, I'm not sure how much I learned from it. I think actually writing and talking with other writers in fandom spaces has helped me a lot more. I am still glad I took it though.

Happy STS Zehra!! 💛✨

Do your OCs celebrate Thanksgiving? If so, what dish are they making and bringing? 👀💫

Thank you for your question♡♡♡

Yes, Shion and Raoul, from Eclipsed Hearts, would definitely celebrate Thanksgiving, albeit with their own unique twist on the holiday! They might attend a gathering with fellow vampires and humans, blending traditions to create a fun and memorable experience.

They'd bring Pumpkin Spice Blood Pudding (lol)

Shion and Raoul decide to make a pumpkin spice blood pudding, a creative dish that pays homage to traditional pumpkin pie while embracing their vampire nature. This sweet and spicy pudding is made with real pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla, blended with a rich, dark blood base (perhaps a mix of animal blood for flavor, keeping it ethical and within vampire norms).

---

Saville and Arce from Under the Knife

Saville is not the traditional family type, and Thanksgiving is mostly a nuisance for him. However, he acknowledges the day as an opportunity to indulge in some culinary creativity. Given his snarky personality and a penchant for the unexpected, he decides to bring an unconventional dish: pumpkin ravioli with sage brown butter sauce. He’ll make it from scratch, enjoying the process of crafting the delicate pasta and filling. While he might roll his eyes at the idea of "family time," he finds solace in the kitchen, where he can exert control and express his culinary skills.

Arce, on the other hand, has a more complex relationship with Thanksgiving. He values the connections with. To celebrate, he brings a smoked turkey breast that he prepared himself, having learned to appreciate the art of cooking as a means of bonding with others. He might also whip up mashed potatoes with garlic and chives, showcasing a softer side as he attempts to impress Saville and make the gathering a little less tense. He enjoys the opportunity to create something delicious for others, perhaps trying to atone for some of his darker past.

Aster, Piper and Alethea from Shades of Erudition

Asterion 'Aster' Carter

Dish: Herb-Crusted Roasted Turkey

He would source high-quality ingredients and pay close attention to the details, marinating the turkey with a blend of herbs and spices he meticulously selects. The presentation would be elegant, showcasing his culinary skills and adding a touch of sophistication to the Thanksgiving table.

Piper Redmond

Dish: Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping

He would be the one to add the marshmallow topping, using it as an opportunity to lighten the mood and make jokes about “the best part of Thanksgiving.” His dish would be a bit messy but filled with love and humor, reflecting his vibrant personality. Piper might even sneak in some unique spices or nuts to surprise everyone, showcasing his creativity and flair for fun in the kitchen.

Alethea Pierce

Dish: Cranberry Sauce with a Twist

Why: Alethea, with her sharp intellect and creativity, would prepare a homemade cranberry sauce that stands out from the usual recipe. She might infuse her sauce with orange zest, ginger, and a hint of cinnamon, giving it a unique flavor profile that surprises everyone at the table. This dish would reflect her personality—classic yet innovative, with a touch of warmth and sophistication.

---

Rosaire and Leslie from Crimson Threads

Rosaire, with his penchant for charm and sophistication, takes on the role of the host and prepares a luxurious roasted turkey, seasoned to perfection and garnished with fresh herbs. He believes that a perfectly cooked turkey is a staple of any Thanksgiving gathering, and he uses this occasion to show off his culinary skills.

Leisle, on the other hand, takes a more playful approach. He decides to make a dessert—pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. He knows Rosaire loves to impress, and he wants to bring something fun and casual to balance out the elegance of the turkey. Leisle also throws in a few surprises, like adding unexpected spices and a hint of chocolate to the cupcakes, making them a delightful twist on the traditional dish.

Thank you once again ♡♡♡

[delicateseraphs]

Knowing that Ana loves tea, which Mikealson do you think would make the best cup for her when she’s feeling down? And who will fail spectacularly?

oh, you're opening a whole can of worms with this question.

here's how the ranking goes:

elijah | the host of the century. unbelievably cultured. he will take the time to research and remember the way she prefers every single tea. he takes mental notes when she takes them as well. (matcha for everyday, iced roasted oolong for the summer afternoon, white peony when she's reading for pleasure, etc). 10/10 would recommend.

finn | the sheer amount of effort and care he would put in would be difficult to eclipse. the only thing that makes him lose to elijah is the fact his younger brother is a detail-oriented perfectionist. he is an extremely accommodating host.

rebekah | absolutely perfect or terrible. not super detail-oriented, but takes great care if she likes you. if she doesn't, well, you can drink bagged tea from the grocery store. she starts off in the mid-section of brewing tea too long or with too hot water, but when she likes ana more, she makes it properly.

klaus | similar to rebekah, but with potential to rival finn when he likes ana more. he doesn't believe in exerting effort for plebians and brews it the way he enjoys it (tea bags and milk, because he doesn't think of tea as a luxury... heathen). when he likes ana, he caters to her preferences.

kol | extremely enthusiastic. can be great or can be equally as terrible. he treats tea like potions and thinks simple isn't good enough. will use ana as a guinea pig, especially because he found out tea is a good base for potions in asian magic. (will also attempt to make her a cup with a tea bag, but he KNOWS she doesn't like it.)
