Who knows you watch LBT? Do you watch it alone?

[credence007]

My sister used to HATE when I would watch any of The Land Before Time movies, and would tell all her friends that I liked them in order to allow them to make fun of me, and would even tell some of my would-be friends, so they would think I was weird, and that I wouldn’t have any friends at school. It was so cruel. My mom was a bully and would make fun of me as well and would say stuff like “You’re such a baby!” just because I still liked cartoons. My dad, while not a bully, was old school and was just like “You’re too old to be watching those movies!”

As I got older, I realized I can watch whatever the heck I want. I can watch more mature TV shows like True Blood, 13 Reasons Why, Breaking Bad, and Euphoria just to name a few, all of which I love to death. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t slip a few Land Before Time movies under the radar as well. While the sequels aren’t exactly masterpieces (yet I still love and enjoy many of them), the first one IS a masterpiece and is one of my favorite films of all time.

I have struggled with some very real things in my life (anxiety, depression, mental health problems, and other things I can’t say on here) and watching The Land Before Time movies honestly kind of levels me out.

Watching these movies, even if you have to watch them alone, is not hurting anybody. If it makes you happy, then you should be able to watch them as much as you want.

I became a mommy for a lot of reasons, but one thing I was looking forward to more than anything was sharing with them my love of LBT.

But now they mostly spend time with their dad and my mom. Go figure!

My children are 7 and 5.

I still make sure to put on a different LBT movie whenever they are at my apartment.

When I was about 13 years old, I got into the fandom pretty hard. I would watch the movies and the episodes anywhere I could, including the family tv. During that time everyone knew I loved lbt.

Eventually, I started to get embarrassed when my sister (who is the same age as me) started to get into more mature content. This started when I was 15, and although, I was still in the fandom, but since I’m too anxious, I continue to do things in the community. Now days my family thinks I moved on, but my sister might be on to me since she saw me drawing dinosaurs lol.

This is something that’s always got me wondering, and I’m finally glad I got to put my thoughts in a post!

I think if people are honest, they love things from childhood. I mean I am feeling called back to Power Rangers, I even see gals of my age have the Mighty Morphin beep on their cell phones. I think the segregation of childhood is over, people seem to embrace attachment to favorite cartoons, creatures, art and etc.

Everyone in my household knows I watch The Land Before Time. I have all of the movies on my computer, as well as a DVD copy of the 13th and 14th films. I usually watch it alone; but, if it's on disc, I watch it in a common area. If someone happens to be walking through, it doesn't bother me if they see me watch a cartoon.

Only my mom knows I watch LBT at the moment.

these are all really interesting, I also forgot to mention that  I have the whole movie collection, but I haven't been able to watch anything because my computer is in the living room and my 17 year old self feels embarrassment if someone walks in. I stil do a lot of land before time related things, such as reading fanfiction, writing fanfiction, and drawing dinos.

Often, when I go on GOF, my brother will see me typing out posts and looking at threads. It's kinda funny becuase you know the browser symbol for GOF is a treestar? Well he jokingly thinks I do weed. It doesn't help my case when I tell him. "I'm on a thing called the gang of five."  And he'll say, "You're in a gang too?" 

So I guess it's just my sister and my brother who know I'm still into this franchise. And honestly, I don't care if they judge me or not, It's my parents that I'm worried about.

I am sorry your brother thinking GOF is a Cannabias forum made me ROFL. XD

Well Weed is called Ganja in the West Indies (learned this in Predator 2, 20th Century Fox film), so Ganja Obsession Forums (GOF) lol XD

Treestar looking like the Weed plant. XD

I am sorry.. made me laugh so hard.
