So the other night before I decided to return to this place, I was pondering on the characters who don't really have official names like the Gang 'o Seven or a few other characters (Redclaw, his Fast Biters, the egg stealers, the VII flyers, etc). We only know so many character names right now, and something I've always wondered is how these characters would be named in conversations with their friends rather than their family members.

So I made this thread for that kind of discussion. Here's where you can share your personal believed names for those characters. Like Grandpa and Grandma Longneck, Mama Flyer, Petrie's siblings, any number of Sharpteeth, etc...

I've only got so many, but there's one specifically I've always held onto.
For years now, I always personally believed that Littlefoot's mother's name was "Tori". Think about this; Cera's dad is named Topps, and his now-wife is named Tria. Tria-Cera-Topps. You get my drift? So in LBT10 we meet Bron - and Littlefoot is often associated to be a Bron-tosaurus. And when I thought about it in a similar way to Cera's family, 'Tori' just felt right for Littlefoot's mom. It's a very pretty name, suitable for a warm and compassionate character like her. Granted, it doesn't QUITE fit as well with the naming conventions of the threehorns - but, I'm still happy with the name, and for years, I've stuck to it.

That's the #1 example I have. I'm gonna be giving this some thought so I can come up with names that might fit within the Land Before Time universe. It's harder than I thought Plus I don't wanna end up going the Topps route with EVERY family member.

But maybe some inspiration from you lovely folks here at the GoF will give me the spark I need to keep thinking of names beyond just Mama Longneck. So go wild, folks!

Heh…It’s been a while, hasn’t it? 

Awfully sorry that your local FreshTV stan vanished like a puff of smoke for like years. Ever since my last appearance here, stuff has been pretty hectic. I’ve been trying to leave the house more often, my mom found a new boyfriend who lives with us now, and my mom has been preparing a new dog grooming job because we’ve been struggling financially for YEARS. With all of…that, on my plate, I’ve kind of not had as much time for LBT.

But, recently I decided “Hey, you know what? I’m gonna listen to Flip, Flap and Fly again”. And yep, still rocks as hard as I remember. And that reminded me of how much I miss hanging out here, talking to folks about dinosaurs and everything else we enjoy. My online circle is pretty small outside of a couple sites and I wanted to return to an old space I enjoyed my time at. Plus, LBT still holds up pretty well for me. It’s always stuck in my mind and no sands of time shall weather it away!

Keep in mind though, since things are still prone to changing a lot around here, I likely won’t have time to keep track of all my PM conversations like I used to. I’m much better with group talk (like stuff in the Party Room and Party Time forums!) rather than private ones anyway. That’s just a me issue, though, so don’t take it personally.

For those of you who forgot who I was or joined after I was active here, howdy. I’m your local fan of all things related to FreshTV and Total Drama, and everything they’ve inspired, as well as good ol’ Land Before Time. Tricia has long been my favorite character for many reasons – she’s cute, she’s pink, and she’s a quick learner. All things that I wish I was.  But I'm very fond of Ducky as well.

In terms of how my life has been during my absence…well, I was into Disventure Camp at the time of my disappearance, and that still holds true. Unfortunately…well there are three words to describe the All-Stars season: stink, stank, stunk   But luckily season 4 (and the spinoff about Tom and Jake) managed to redeem it for me. But in my absence, MORE Total Drama-inspired shows have begun to show up around the internet. My favorite of these shows, beyond the still-yet-to-be-topped Season 1 of Disventure Camp, has gotta be The Million Game: Academy. There’s only one episode so far but it has already hooked me in HARD. Kati is my favorite character right now. Her adorable sweetness actually reminds me a lot of Ducky  Though this is subject to change, there’s a new show coming out called Exotic Escapade that ESPEECIALLY has my attention…

Anything else hmmm…Oh. Caitlin isn’t my favorite fictional character anymore. Surprise?  I’ve recently gotten back into Sonic the Hedgehog and…I just remembered just how much Zeena the Zeti has my heart. She barely ever appears in the franchise outside of the comics, but man. Everything about her from her design to her suave, sarcastic sassiness to her relatable laziness to her voice acting (the world needs more of Stephanie Sheh) to…well, just about everything, really. She’s my favorite fabulous space chameleon and she just makes me happy when I think about her. 

So…I’m not sure how OFTEN I’ll be active nowadays, but I’ll try and show my face more often. So keep an eye out for me as I wander the GOF once more.
