Well, it seems that almost everyone here has made a topic like this, and I'm late as usual. :bang You know the saying right? Better late than never. So, I'm going to be answering any questions you might have to the best of my ability. Fire away! :)
-
What are your hobbies? :)
-
I like to read quite a lot, especially before bedtime I try to calm myself by reading few chapters. I also like to take long walks for the fun of it and also to clear my mind. I usually walk about 2-3h during the weekend, especially now that spring has come and the weather is just perfect for such opportunity. ;)
I used to play video games too quite a lot, but now that has recently been almost forgotten. I sometimes do play games, but not as much as I used to due to not having many games that I enjoy.
And some in the forum might already know this, but I enjoy writing as well. It has always brought me such joy to just start writing about what's on your mind. :)
-
High-five for long walks! I love to go out walking as well. I just got back from a 7km walk this afternoon.
What sort of writing do you enjoy? Do you write stories at all?
-
For writing: what's your average words that you churn out per day/writing session?
-
@StardustSoldier
I've written 3 stories in total, 2 for LBT and the final one for Halo. You're welcome to check those out here (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/12084160/Anagnos) if you are interested. Unfortunately only one of those can be found here on the forum, but do check it out if you wish to see my work, no need to, of course. :) Right now I only write stories for LBT, and those ideas to my stories come from the forum's own prompt challenge page. Do check it out also if you're least bit interested in that sort of thing. Additionally I also write short stories on my notebook, but at the present moment I mostly do the anterior case. :)
@OwlsCantRead
Now that's a tricky question, since I haven't been writing long enough to take any notice of that sort, but I do edit my work constantly to make it sound better to a reader, and I sometimes lose my patience when in the process of that. :p But I'll let you know as soon as I can if the situation changes, but for now, I don't pay much attention to that. :)
I hope my answers were satisfactory enough for you two. Sorry, it's been super long day and I'm so tired right now. I know that might sound like an excuse but it is the truth. :yes
-
I'd be interested to read your stories sometime. :)
What is your favourite non-LBT animated film?
-
What is your favourite non-LBT animated film?
It's quite hard to say what is my favorite since there are so many that are very great, but I would have to say that Shrek takes my place as number one right now. I loved the first two films, and while the others were not my favorites, they were good in their own regard. :)
-
Good answer. I haven't seen the Shrek films in years, but they were always a fun time.
What is your favourite musical instrument?
-
What is your favourite musical instrument?
Drums. I actually used to play drums in my school's band for some time. I was quite good at it. :p
-
Favourite season of the year?
-
Favourite season of the year?
I would say summer, although it does bring its own problems along with it, like my allergies. :(
-
I think spring is my favourite season, as it's when things are warming up, but before it gets too hot. Although I still like summer as well in spite of that.
What are your top three Star Wars films? And why? :)
-
What are your top three Star Wars films? And why?
Well, this requires some deep thinking... As I have previously said, I haven't yet had the chance to watch the Last Jedi, but I have indeed watched the others quite many times. I would have to say that my top three SW films would be (in no particular order) Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. And my reasoning for the decisions is that especially RotS had an amazing soundtrack, NH was actually the very first Star Wars film that I watched, so it has a special place in my heart, and RotJ is also phenomenal for its soundtrack and plot. :)
-
Interesting picks. I certainly agree regarding the amazing soundtrack. For me, Empire Strikes Back is actually the first Star Wars film I ever saw.
Any TV shows you're currently watching?
-
Any TV shows you're currently watching?
Right now I am only watching The Walking Dead, but when the Halo Television Series finally launch I'm going to be watching that as well. :)
-
What is the most disappointing movie you've ever seen? Not necessarily the worst, but the one that let you down the most for one reason or another.
-
What is the most disappointing movie you've ever seen? Not necessarily the worst, but the one that let you down the most for one reason or another.
There are quite many movies that have let me down, but I would have to say that Extinction (2018) was a very big disappointment due to the plot of the film being so peculiar.
-
Is there a nickname in real life that people ever refer to you by?
-
Not really. People just use my first or last name when they speak to me. :)
-
Favourite band or musical artist?
-
There are a lot of bands that I like so much, but I'm going to say Poets of the Fall.
-
If you had unlimited funds to build a house that you would live in for the rest of your life, what would the finished house be like? I know this was originally your question, but I'm curious to see your answer.
-
I would built my house near a big lake in the woods. The house would be made of just simple wood and such, like an oversized summer cottage. It wouldn't have to be too big, but I would like to share it with my family, so many quest rooms would have to be available. I would also like others to have their own cottages near mine, so that we might hang out. Anyone here down for that, are you? :smile
-
That sounds like it'd be fun. Count me in.
I know you mentioned earlier in the thread that you're not much into video games any more. But when you were, did you have a favourite game?
-

I had many favorite games when I played them much more, and this probably won't be too much of a surprise, but Halo has always been my most favorite series I had the pleasure to play. :)
-
Have you ever had any LBT dreams? If so, which character were you?
-
Have you ever had any LBT dreams? If so, which character were you?
I believe I did have few LBT dreams when I was growing up, all I can remember that I was probably a sharptooth in those dreams. :bestsharptooth
-
Do you have a favourite LBT sequel? Favourite LBT character?
-
I'm thinking between The Stone of Cold Fire and The Great Longneck Migration, those are definitely my favorite ones. My favorite LBT character would be Ruby. :)
-
What is the worst song you have heard in recent memory?
-
What is the worst song you have heard in recent memory?
Cotton Eye Joe. :sducky
-
What are the little things in life that would make you happy?
-
^Well, my family and friends for example, I wouldn't be so happy if I was alone all the time. :) Reading and writing also makes me happy, and also taking long walks outside when I have nothing to do that day. :duckyhappy
-
If there is one thing you could change about the LBT franchise (if anything), what would it be?
-
What is your spirit animal? (strange nobody asked you this question yet ;))
-
@StardustSoldier
I would make it so that LBT 13 never would even exist. :bestsharptooth
@ImpracticalDino
I did a test, and apparently I'm a deer. :DD
-
If you could choose to live in the LBT universe forever, would you take that opportunity? What species would you want to be transformed into?
-
If you could choose to live in the LBT universe forever, would you take that opportunity? What species would you want to be transformed into?
Oh, I would take that chance, although I would still miss my friends and family. I would like to be either a carnivore or a flyer. :)
-
It's interesting to see that even a lot of major LBT fans don't like Wisdom of Friends. I'm curious to see what I'll think of it.
(I don't have any more questions at the moment, but I'll post again when I do.)
-
Do you have a favourite non-LBT Don Bluth film?
-
Do you have a favourite non-LBT Don Bluth film?
No, I don't. :(

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would you want to be?

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love my home. :)

That's good. :)
Do you have any pets?

If you were given three wishes, what would those be?

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

@ImpracticalDino
I can't think of any good wishes right now. :lol
@StardustSoldier
I'm a night owl. :)

Me too. :)
Are there any forums you post on besides this one?

Coca-Cola. :)

Do you like to play board games? If so, name a favorite.

I do sometimes. I can honestly say that I prefer it over coffee.
@ImpracticalDino
I don't play board games.

Do you have any guilty pleasures?

You're the opposite of DiddyKF1. He prefers coffee. :Mo
Are there any particular YouTubers you're a fan of?
-
@ImpracticalDino
Aside from The Land Before Time I can only think of The Walking Dead. It hasn't been held in very high regard in the past, but in my opinion, it has become better once again. Season 9 is definitely one of my favorite seasons. :)
@StardustSoldier
There are very few YouTubers who I follow nowdays. Mostly I just follow a Finnish YouTuber called LaeppaVika. You probably won't understand most of the stuff that this guy does, but imo, he is the best one in Finland. :^^spike

Would you rather live in an urban, suburban, or rural area?

Is there a particular idea that you would like to see explored in fanfiction or fanart (for LBT or any other fandom that you are part of) that you have not yet seen?
-
Is there a particular idea that you would like to see explored in fanfiction or fanart (for LBT or any other fandom that you are part of) that you have not yet seen?
I don't believe so. Most of the ideas that I have wanted to see have already been done. Like the Gang turning into sharpteeth, the gang as adults. But if my mind changes, or I come up with something, I will let people know. Great question, by the way. :)

I don't really pay much attention to that sort of thing, so I cannot answer that.
-
Are there any songs you listen to when you're feeling down? You can name one or many if you wish.
-
All Star by Smash Mouth is pretty great for that. :)
-
What book, movie, video game, etc. do you most wish you could forget, only so you could experience it for the first time all over again?
-
What book, movie, video game, etc. do you most wish you could forget, only so you could experience it for the first time all over again?
I have read every Halo book and played all of the games. I would like to forget all of the memories about those, so I could experience the awesomeness of that franchise once more. :Mo

Do you enjoy camping at all?

I don't like to cook that much but sometimes I make something easy.

Do you have phobias of anything in particular?
-
Do you have phobias of anything in particular?
I can think of two right now. Acrophobia (fear of heights) and Thalassophobia (fear of deep water).
-
You and I are acrophobics! :)
Did you ever had any moments where you just randomly say something so dumb and illogical?
-
What is the least pleasant meal you've had in recent memory?
-
ImpracticalDino: I have had a few of those moments. I'd like to forget them, though. :sducky
StardustSoldier: Kebab. Just yesterday. :^^spike
-
No, I said least pleasant. :DD
-
Oh, I'm sorry. I misread that somehow. :bang
Then my answer is broccoli.
-
Do you like to drink Coca-Cola or any other types of soda?

I do like Coca-Cola. By the way, this was sort of asked before, but it doesn't matter that much. :)

How was your overall experience when you were still in primary and secondary school, and which years did you consider the best?
-
How was your overall experience when you were still in primary and secondary school, and which years did you consider the best?
It was good. I would probably say that 7-8th grade were my most favorite of them all.
-
Do you have a favourite Harry Potter book? Favourite HP film?
-
Do you have any food allergies?
-
StardustSoldier: Hmm... that's a tough one because all of them are pretty good in my opinion. If I have to pick one, I would say that the Deathly Hallows is definitely my favorite book and the Half Blood Prince my favorite film. :)
ImpracticalDino: I have a lot. I can name a couple: fish, apple, nuts, kiwi fruit, peas, tomato (somewhat), banana. There are many more but I thought about naming a few.
-
Have you ever tried to use a type of dipping sauce for many different foods, even some that probably won't even go good together?

What moment in your life would you like to relive again?
-
What moment in your life would you like to relive again?
There are quite many moments I woud like to relive again but I would probably go with my education in vocational college. It was a fun time for me and I would love to go back in time to my very first day and experience it all over again. :)

What is your favorite childhood memory?
You really hit a soft spot on that question you asked me yesterday about our favorite long-gone childhood activities. :duckyhappy
I had to think about this for a while. I would say that spending time with my very good friends back in the day. I haven't had any kind of contact with them for years and we have all moved on with our lives. But still, part of me wants to return to those simple days. When we could just be children and not worry about anything else besides what we were going to play next. I wish our friendship didn't just end like this, but sometimes it can't be helped.
-
Aside from LBT, are there any shows/movies/etc. you enjoyed as a child that you're still a fan of to this day?

I had to actually double-check that this wasn't asked before, because I faintly recalled something like that. Fortunately, no one has asked this before, so we're all good. As for the question, nope.

What's your first reaction of hearing an ice cream truck coming in your neighborhood?

Is there anything you'd like to get off your chest in particular?
No kidding! I'm ten years older than him and I'd be quite delighted if an ice cream truck passed by my place. :p
-
Not really... :angel Maybe it's because ice cream trucks don't really come around here anymore. I haven't seen one in a very long time.

-
Would you take being able to go back to your childhood and reliving it out again at the cost of all the convenience and technology that we take for granted today?
As much as I would like to relive my childhood all over again, I do believe it's time to move on from that time. And not because I would lose any technology that I enjoy nowadays, keep that in mind. :OhYou

Mozilla.
Same! :)

Were there any toys you played with during your childhood?
Of course there were. Do you mean to ask if I had a favorite one to play with? If so, then my answer is most definitely LEGOs. :)

Oh! A fellow Lego enthusiast! What are some of your favorite sets?
-
ImpracticalDino: Patience, my young padawan. ;)
The Chronicler: Ah, it has been ages since I even laid eyes on my old LEGO stuff. I would have to say that Star Wars was a big part of my life, as I tried to collect every set I could. Right now all of those LEGO sets are in my storage. Maybe one day I will take a look at them again.
-
Alright then, Master Yoda! ::)
Despite my thinning patience, I'll heed your advice. :yes
Do you have a sweet tooth?
-
Well, your patience is going to be tested for I probably won't be on the forum until Friday or Saturday. As for your question, maybe a little. :^^spike
-
If you don't mind me asking, what are/were you doing during that time?
I hate failing tests, so I'll set aside my impatience for this one occasion. ;)
-
Do you like dogs?
-
ImpracticalDino: Ah, right. You don't have access to the AM section or Discord server yet. To answer your question, I was in London from 2th of July to the 5th day.
StardustSoldier: I can tolerate them, but since I'm allergic I can't get one. And it also doesn't help that some dogs have outright bitten me before for apparently ''getting too close to my mother'' or something. Yeah, I have no clue how their minds work, but it seems that this particular dog who bit me, saw me as a threat to my own mom. :sducky
-
Do you like animals better overall than humans?

I very much prefer humans. Vampires do need a good food source, after all. :evilsmile

What is the last movie you saw? Was it any good?
-
What decade in the past would you time travel to if given the chance?
-
StardustSoldier: Do you mean like in a movie theater or just a movie? I can give an answer to both of these, so there are no misconceptions. The last movie I saw in a theater was Maze Runner: Death Cure. Pretty great movie. For the second one my answer is Triple 9. It was okay overall.
ImpracticalDino: I guess the 90's.
-
What is your favorite LBT song besides the obvious?
-
What is your favorite LBT song besides the obvious?
I think I've said this before, but Beyond the Mysterious Beyond has always been one of mine, if not even the most favorite one of them all. Something about that particular song just gets to me specifically.

I meant just any movie, but I like your answer better anyway. :)
Do you have any siblings?
-
What is your favorite LBT sequel?
-
StardustSoldier: Nope. I am the only one and to be frank, I like it that way. I don't know how I would react if suddenly my parents decided to have another baby.
ImpracticalDino: I actually have two. The Stone of Cold Fire and The Great Longneck Migration.
-
What is your second least favourite LBT sequel? (as I know what your least favourite is)

Have you ever played any horror games?
-
What is your opinion of the ocean?
-
StardustSoldier: I have played plenty of horror games. Amnesia, Outlast, Penumbra, Slender, Cry of Fear, Afraid of Monsters, for example.
ImpracticalDino: I really don't have an opinion on it.

Gaming, funny, memes. :wow

What natural phenomenons in nature are you fascinated in?
-
Do you remember what the last LBT film you saw was? How long ago did you watch it?
-
Will you answer more questions from us?
-
It's been a while since I visited this thread... :oops
ImpracticalDino: To be honest, I am not really into natural phenomenons in nature that much. I mean, yeah, some of them can be quite nice to see with your own eyes, but I have never found any enjoyment from such matters.
StardustSoldier: You asked a tough one since it's been ages from the last film I watched. Hmm... if I remember correctly, and that's a mighty big if, the last film I saw was probably Journey of the Brave. As for the specific date, I'm not sure about that.
-
Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse?
-
What is the most disgusting thing you've seen or known of in your opinion?
-
I'm sorry it has taken me this long to answer your questions. :slap
Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse?
It has been a very long time, but I think I might have seen one when I was around 12 or 13-years old. Since then I haven't seen one, if my memory serves me correctly.
What is the most disgusting thing you've seen or known of in your opinion?
There are quite a lot of those, but the central point is indisputably what you will find if you type ''scat'' into Google search. Mind you, do not search that. Especially if you are eating, I will guarantee that you'll lose your appetite for a long time. I most certainly did. :oops
-
What is your opinion of Internet Explorer, based off of actual usage?
-
^I hardly use it nowadays, but I guess it was alright back in the day. It had its problems with crashing too often and what not, but overall I think it worked fine for my purposes.
-
Do you know what you'd rate each LBT movie, and the TV series, out of 10?
-
My apologies if this has been asked before, but I am always curious about people's experiences with technology as time goes by. So with that in mind, what kind of computers have you had during your life? Do you remember their operating systems and specifications?
-
What is your cell phone brand and year of release?
-
You now possess the ability to change your eye color to whatever hue you want. What would you opt for, perchance?
-
Don't worry, people. I'm still alive. :chompysmile
StardustSoldier: I would have to think about that little more before posting my final thoughts. Keep your eyes on the horizon, matey. :p
Rhombus: Unfortunately, my memories of the early life are so fuzzy I can't recall the operating, let alone specifications of the computers I once had. I never bothered to memorize any of them, so I'm sorry if this answer didn't meet your expectations. All I can say is that the very first computer I shared with my mother would be considered antique in this day and age.
ImpracticalDino: OnePlus 3 is the current brand I'm using. I don't know anything about the year of release, but with a little research I could find that out as well. :)
OwlsCantRead: Hey, I like my eyes as they are right now: light blue. :lol

I'm going off on my memory here, but I don't think the voice actor did. I believe they just sampled the throat effect from the original source. :p

What Finnish food do you always eat?
Do you also have a favourite drink?

For the record, I believe there's an unspoken rule about only having one question per post, but I'll allow it this time.
Despite being a Finn, there are not many traditional Finnish foods that I like to eat, let alone always. But one of those that I always enjoy is Karelian hot pot, it includes long-cooked meat in cubes. For my favorite drink, nothing can beat good old Coca-Cola. :lol

After having to deal with so many Abloy locks and keys during my conscription service, what is your opinion of them?
-
@Enchanted-Valley96 I know you're eager to ask questions, but I would appreciate it if you stuck to one until I've answered all other questions at once, all right? I'll go ahead and answer your first question.
Enchanted: I like most of them, but none of them scream perfection to me.
Amaranthine: I've always enjoyed creative writing, even when I was younger in comprehensive school I'd spend time to write stories in class. I guess I've always found it my thing for I can let my creativity flow instead of keeping it locked away. :lol
Owls: Some work easier, others harder. I haven't formed more inclusive opinion on them as I've hardly used them during my own service. :p

Would you agree with this quote?
The summer isn't endless in Finland, but there are almost endless summer days and white nights. In Finnish Lapland a single summer day lasts for over two months. In the southern parts of the country it is never really dark either, just a period of twilight for a few hours.
-

I went over this for a good amount of time and to my disappointment the meaning behind it was not clear to me. Personally, I've never stepped foot in Lapland, therefore I am not an expert on the subject, but some things in this seem to be slightly controversial. Because I can't say any more on the subject, that is where I leave it. It felt like whoever wrote this did it in a rather complex way. :wacko

I have indeed travelled before, but not widely. I've been to Stockholm, Tallin and London at least once, but my favorite place is without a doubt the island of Greece, Rhodes. I've been there at least 7-8 times.

Do you think it would have been better to of had one voice actress voice Littlefoot than changing the voice every few films?
I can understand why they could not have the same person voice Littlefoot for the entirety of the series as that would have been rather difficult to accomplish, so having multiple voice actors that sort of sound the same was not a bad idea. Still, I can't help but wonder what the reception would have been had Littlefoot been voiced by one person only.
-
Nick Price only voiced Littlefoot for one movie so for me it felt like a waste of using a voice actor like that.
Why do you think a lot of people praise the school system in Finland?

Honestly, from my point of view, it is praised because it is not as outdated unlike so many systems around the world. The students needs and desires are taken into account more commonly.
