Reply To: What type of LBT fanfiction do you not like?
Yeah, sorry,overreacted. It just seemed an insult to Littlefoot to have him die, as you put, in a horrific way at so young an age from sniffing a plant. I mean, if you’re gonna kill off Littlefoot, I would have thought that you would have:
1.) Had him die of old age, perhaps after imparting all the wisdom and adventures he had.
2.) In some heroic self-sacrifice.
The way you had it just seemed like such an insult to the central character of Land Before Time. That’s all.
Sorry i acted like a college snowflake by asking you to take it down. :sad_spike
Also, there is a third way I might have Littlefoot die, though never in a story,only hypothetical:
If there came a fight to the death between him and Chomper, since Chomper is my favorite character and Littlefoot is my third or fourth or so, I’d root for Chomper. (Though, admittedly, that may also be an insult to Land Before Time, but nobody said you had to support the Leaf Eaters every time.)
Anyway, yeah, tried to fall asleep last night but couldn’t until at least 3 am and woke up at 7 at the latest due to people making noises (no, they didn’t mean to, it just happened.) When I’m that tired, my meds don’t often work.
I’ve reacted upset to stories in the past (i..e said I don’t like them like ones where Chomper kills a Leaf Eater or is kicked out of the Great Valley) but I think it’s just that I was so tired that I went to the length of asking you to take it down. When I get this tired, my meds don’t quite work like they should.
Also, I tend to get too attached to characters. I recall that in Star Wars the Clone Wars, because Ahsoka, whom I’d grown fond of, was not in Episode III, everyone assumed that she must have ended up dying in the Clone Wars series. However, I pointed out that that didn’t quite add up either, as her death wasn’t mentioned in Episode III either. Nonetheless, most assumed that she died. I argued but was laughed at by even the mods of the Jedi Council Forums, who considered it so unlikely. Of course, with such opposition, I started to push back, sometimes crossing the line, which led to bans.
However, in the end, I turned out to be right as she was framed for something, expelled from the Jedi Order, later been found to be innocent, offered to rejoin but refused, hence giving a valid reason how she could be alive and not be in or mentioned in Episode III.
In Rebels, where she appeared again, I was more open to the possibility that she could die, especially if facing Vader. Indeed, it sure looked that way even with the episode name itself (Twilight of the Apprentice). However, as it was, her fate ended up ambiguous in that one and it appears to be staying that way.
Also, i got too attached to Chomper on the Gang of Five and didn’t want him to be a mean Sharptooht, but, of course, most on there think that it’s unavoidable, which led to more Ahsoka-style arguments and even some censure from the GOF. (What got me banned wasn’t Chomper but a silly-picture categorizing users, which was intended as a joke.) (I think I gave you a good rating, as I think you were LittlefootFan1990 or something like that.)
Also, I never watched Charlotte’s Web for years, even into adulthood, because it so peeved me that they’d kill off one of the major characters at the end.
