Wow more Land Before Time art and OC’s for the first time since like 2021 

Right off the bat, I’m just gonna say that I don’t like the Land Before Time sequels. Or the TV series, or ANY media past the first movie. Yeah that opinion of mine hasn’t changed since my cringe deviantART days, and still for the obvious reasons that the original Don Bluth film was dark and mature as fuck while the sequels are just so hunky-dory. So for lack of a better term I’m basically a Land Before Time genwunner. 

Admittedly I DO like SOME of the ideas for the characters and story elements from a few of the sequels (eg. the good Sharpteeth, Petrie’s uncle Pterano, Littlefoot’s father, dinosaurs dealing with climate change, etc), but in my opinion the execution is just… not good. So I’m reusing just some of them in my AU but in a completely different way, one of them being Littlefoot’s love interest Ali in movie 4. I remember very little about her personality but I hate her lazy “Littlefoot clone with eyelashes’’ design  

So in my universe, her name is Mirage (named after the fact she was born in the desert) and she’s a sandy yellow Apatosaurus to contrast Littlefoot’s purple. She and her herd arrived to the Great Valley some time after Littlefoot and his friends did and from there it’s just your typical meet-cute friends-to-lovers romance.
