It's Party Time! / Move In or Run?
« on: August 24, 2009, 01:11:25 AM »
This is a variant of "Accept or Reset?", a game created by my friend on another site. In "Move In or Run?" you are a college freshman assigned to a dorm with three LBT characters. Based on how much you like those characters, you decide: would you...

MSH: Move in So Happily
MH: Move in Happily
M: Move in
MBNH: Move in But Not Happily
R: Run

After you decide, you post three more characters for the next person.

I'll start with my three favorites.

Grandpa Longneck
Littlefoot's mom
Rinkus

Character Discussion / Which main species if your favorite?
« on: March 22, 2009, 01:52:21 PM »
In this poll, I'd like you to answer not based on your actual favorite dinosaur out of the choices, but which species you liked best in the movies.

Out of all dinos, my favorites are velociraptors and any flyer, but in LBT I like the longnecks best! They're my favorite species in the movies because they are fair, caring, understanding and supportive. I also find them less speciesist than some of the othes.

LBT Fanfiction / Reign: Survival
« on: January 25, 2009, 08:37:43 PM »
Hey, it's RFZT.
Some of you may have read that I was planning to write a fanfiction trilogy about Rinkus and Sierra. I also said it would be awhile, as I am working on other fanfictions at the moment. Well...looks like I lied.  :p

As you could probably guess, this trilogy is centered around Rinkus and Sierra getting revenge on the Great Valley. Like almost every other Rinkus and Sierra fanfiction out there. So I hope greatly that my trilogy will not be too similar to any of the other Rinkus and Sierra fanfictions.

*-*-*

Something was after Sierra. Again.

Sierra felt no alarm when the bush started rustling. He nonchalantly spread his wings and lit right as a fastbiter burst out of the bush.

He wasn't even miffed that the fastbiter abruptly ended his search for creatures that lived under the snow. This had happened so many times, he got used to it long ago.

Still, he knew how high fastbiters could jump. He ascended gradually as the small sharptooth pursued him. Having accelerated enough to get an extra boost, the fastbiter leapt, jaws clamping. It missed Sierra's leg by inches. Sierra smirked and mockingly flapped higher.

The fastbiter wasn't discouraged. The instant it hit ground, it took off again, screeching as it chased Sierra further.

Sierra flew to a cavern, one with many haphazard towers of stone inside it. Jutting up everywhere, the width between one tower to another varied. Sierra entered the cavern, beginning to maneuver his way around the towers. Despite how narrow some of the spaces were, he glided, tipped, and soared his way through. He was a tall, lean cearadactylus, solidly colored brown. His more petit size enabled him to pass through tight spaces.

The fastbiter was still after him. Pounding forth in the snow, it jumped again, this time latching on to the base of a stone tower. It bounced off, soaring to another, farther away tower. It continued doing this, steadily rising higher and higher until it was almost level with its prey.

What Sierra was about to do was getting old. The end of the cavern was nearing. Just one obstacle to go: two stone towers that were close enough to be conjoined. Hardly a space opened between them; there was only a gap puncturing the middle.

Sierra slowed. He timed his next move, waiting for the snarls of the fastbiter to come perilously close.

Right as he nearly felt the fastbiter's breath on his back, he zoomed forward, wheeling on his side and furling his wings. He shot through the tower's gap, barely missing the fastbiter's second bite.

The fastbiter rammed its head through the gap, lunged, and...didn't get farther. Its shoulder were too widely set apart to pass through. Snapping its jaws in frustration, it squirmed, trying to dislodge itself. It placed its feet on the towers and pushed. With a sliding noise, it popped out backwards, then fell hard on its back in the snow.

Sierra chuckled as he heard the snow crunch. Despite him pulling that stunt so many times, it was still kind of funny.

He spread his wings fully, enjoying the relieving stretch. A few seconds later, he crashed into another flyer.

They both cried out, getting smacked backwards. Sierra caught his balance first. He hovered upright, flapping as he looked scornfully down on the other flyer, who was clumsily righting himself.

"Watch where you're going!" Sierra told Rinkus.

Rinkus managed to assume a normal flying position. "I wanted to know if you caught any food," he said.

"What does it look like?" Sierra yelled. "I hardly had any time to look! If it weren't for those stinking sharpteeth we'd be fed a long time ago." He scowled into the distance.

About a foot below Sierra, Rinkus hovered as well, his wings beating heavily. "I found a way to crack the ice," he said.

Sierra looked down on him. "What?"

"It's very simple."

"Then show me!" Sierra glided away without warning. Rinkus followed, flapping noticeably harder to keep up.

An icy wind kicked up, chilling them both to the bone. Sleet began to shower down from the sky, freezing their scales further, adding to the misery. Sierra could hear Rinkus behind him, blubbering.

Sierra shuddered himself. Cold season in the Mysterious Beyond was torture. He wouldn't have to put up with this, not if he'd never dealt with those brats...

Character Discussion / Gator Chain of Villains
« on: January 24, 2009, 11:17:34 PM »
I better explain this gator chain thing.

Gator chains are basically rankings for something, usually preferences. Let's take LBT characters. My 3 favorites are Grandpa, Littlefoot's mom, and Rinkus. So my chain would go like this:

Grandpa > Littlefoot's mom > Rinkus

Now, this board. I wanted to see what everyone thought of how qualified the villains from some of the first movies were. As in, how good of villains they were. I'm using the baddies from the first four and the seventh movies. I'm taking out the 5th and 6th movies because their villains were unnamed Sharpteeth. Here are the candidates:

-Sharptooth
-Ozzy and Strut
-Hyp, Nod and Mutt
-Ichy and Dil
-Rinkus and Sierra

And now, my chain! It would be nice if you guys could explain how you set up your chains.

Sharptooth >>>> Rinkus and Sierra >>> Ozzy and Strut > Ichy and Dil >> Hyp, Nod and Mutt

Sharptooth: He is tooooootally the best. He is pure dinosaur, menacing, determined, actually gave people nightmares, and has some serious Air Jordans!  :p He also has absolutely no humor to him. Pure terror. Claws down the best LBT villain.

Rinkus and Sierra: I didn't put them second because they're my favorite LBT baddies. I think Rinkus and Sierra make good villains! Their personalities contrasted greatly, yet they still managed to work together. They built up sinister qualities: deceptive (Rinkus), conniving, violence-induced (particularly Sierra), dark. I also found them some of the only bad guys that were a real threat.

Ozzy and Strut: It was a hard choice between them and Ichy and Dil, but I finally decided Ozzy and Strut were next. I picked them mainly because they do work together not just for benefit. Ozzy is very smart, and Strut made a good secondhand struthiomimus :p in the sense that he would carry out Ozzy's plans. Strut also occasionally offered violent means to get rid of the kids. Even though their personalities were polar opposite, they were still a team.

Ichy and Dil: Now, these two would be a threat too, if they weren't the most comical LBT villains (IMO)! The reason why I placed them below Ozzy and Strut is because they only work together for food. They don't actually get along with each other. But when they are out for food, they are quite competent. Their song is so witty, too.

Hyp, Nod and Mutt: Seriously, they're not really villains at all. Just big, cowardly bullies. I like Hyp though.

Character Discussion / Favorite Villains
« on: January 21, 2009, 09:30:36 PM »
I've decided you can pick two, because it can be hard to just choose one.

I'm pairing up the characters with who they allied with in the movies, so you can take "and" as "or" if you only like one of them. Personally, my favorites are Rinkus and Sierra. :D

Oh, and I can't recall any of the villains past the seventh movie. If you like someone not in the poll, just pick "other."

Character Discussion / Rinkus, Sierra, or Pterano?
« on: January 18, 2009, 08:05:41 PM »
I bet Pterano will win by a landslide, but let's do this anyway.

I know Pterano isn't really an antagonist; he's more of an antihero. But just saying which of the flyers is your favorite would have included Petrie, Guido, Petrie's mom and Ichy. And Pterano acted slightly villainish in the beginning. Slightly.

Anyway, on to the poll. Pterano is cool, and I LOVE Sierra, but Rinkus is my favorite! He is silly, and he seems like nothing more than a comedy-relief crony, but he is actually a lot more clever than that. I love many deceptive characters.

Sierra is cool too, simply because he's so evil! I thought he and Rinkus made a good duo. Sierra was the force and the brashness, while Rinkus was the brains and the one holding Sierra back. :p

Pterano is cool...but I remember not liking him when I was younger because he was so full of himself. Now that I'm older I like him fair enough, and I appreciate his depth as a character. I now know also that his "full of himself" was more like self-righteousness.
I think one reason why Pterano is so popular in the LBT franchise is because he's realistic. At least, more realistic than many of the other characters. He is pompous, somewhat deceptive and arrogant, but he also thinks he's doing the right thing. He was one of the more developed characters in LBT.

The Welcome Center / Hello!
« on: January 18, 2009, 07:03:37 PM »
Hello, I'm RFZT, and I'm new to this website.

I better explain why I joined. I LOVE the first seven LBT movies, especially the original (of course) and the third, fourth and seventh. I decided I was a big enough fan to look for a fansite. I'm actually even listening to the track for the original right now, heh.

Unfortunately for me, there are so few fansites for LBT and I was getting pretty desperate, because I really wanted to join. But then I found a referral to "The Gang of Five" on a YouTube video, the clip for Pterano's song "Very Important Creature." I thought I should give the site a shot, and...I liked it.  :p

Actually, the biggest reason why I wanted to join a LBT site was because of writing. I LOVE literature, and fanfictions are my biggest odd job. I have a LBT fanfiction trilogy planned. It's about Rinkus and Sierra, who are TOTALLY my favorite villains in LBT.  B) I love Ozzy, Strut, Hyp, Ichy and Dil as well, but the flyers are on the top of my list. Anyway, I was going to try fanfiction.net, but I'm blocked from that site even though I'm 15 and have no blocks on my laptop...whenever I try to go to ff.net, ALL my Internet windows shut off for no reason. So I thought, maybe I should look for a LBT site to post my fanfic.
For those who are interested, I'm juggling fanfictions on other sites I go to, so the Rinkus and Sierra trilogy won't be started for a while.

And finally, my favorite LBT characters! My top 5 are all adults:

1. Grandpa :wub: because he reminds me so much of my own grandfather
2. Littlefoot's mom...she's so hard NOT to like, and she was the first movie death I EVER cried at. I was three.
3. Rinkus! He seems lowly and dumb, but is actually very clever. He's also one of the silliest LBT villains, ranking high up there with Ichy and Dil
4. Sierra and the Rainbowfaces. Sierra is so...evil! I love his ruthlessness, uncaring and short-temper. Also, Jim Cummings. :D And the Rainbowfaces are so outcasted, open-minded and mysterious.
5. Grandma. I love her fair attitude and her overall sweet personality.

And my favorite kids to this day are Ali, Hyp and Chomper. I LOVE the old Littlefoot and Petrie, the ones from the original movie. I think their characters got butchered though.

Well, this is a long enough introductory post. I commend you if you got this far.  :lol
