Not A Power Ranger!
CONGRATULATIONS EARTH. You survived another White Dino Birthday! I was so close to making another chapter for Requiem but thought better of it. This one had to be special. Finding the Asteroid graphic was hard. Team Dino were on it for hours! Thanks the internet! You're a pal.
The Internet: It was YOU who introduced us to the Speckles Movies. It was YOU who introduced us to FanFiction. It was YOU who put up all these links to our work and made us global legends. If only for a while! So, we at Team Dino salute you. We owe you a Fruit Juice! G and WD.
Haven't we been here before? FanFiction suffers a catastrophic meltdown and we have to hope and pray the Admins can fix and bring it back to us. This has been every day of my life since September 26th 2020. Even then it makes you wait 12hrs to upload your first story! Bye then!
After that last jump scare…I set about backing up and screen grabbing every single square inch of The Speckles Project. Every part is now archived in triplicate. The admins really came through this time. I honestly thought that's it, we're done. As a reward for your efforts…
This is only for laughs…

Team Dino are so happy that our favorite fan fiction service can stay with us a bit longer. It is also nearly time to change my age on the Profile. Clearly I've been dragging that one out! How fast the years go. "Time: The harder you hold onto it the faster it escapes you."
Blimey FanFiction. You really made me feel it this month. 3 days for White Dino's 46th to settle and 3 attempts to change my Profile age. I figured if you update on the same day as the previous date…if it jumps back to the last one then…who will notice?! Maintenance required!
This may be the most important thing I have ever told you…prepare yourself. White Dino's favorite AQUA song is not BARBIE GIRL. It's DR. JONES! I used to listen to that one until my ears bled. There is a potent set of songs to have playing on a loop in your mind. G and WD.
On a more serious note: There is a 1983 song called MOONLIGHT SHADOW by the master Mike Oldfield. My favorite song as a kid, I listened to it many times and still do. I wonder a lot about White Dino's obsession with the Sun and Moon. I think that is how we kept time before.
Is it really 3 years since I started typing? Some of you may wonder how I keep going? It is simple. Sometimes you have to keep going even if no one believes in you. That is the human spirit and why we are here. #WhoIsTheWhiteDino is putting on a show. You are welcome to watch.
"Oh, check out Mr. Fancy Pants!" Giggled White Dino. "Did it all by himself. This everyone is another impression of my vessel." "Not this again." Yelled Gareth. "I thought we were past all that?" "Sorry G, it is MY Birthday now. Prepare yourself." White Dino begins to sing…
"Friends all abandoned me."
"They were not there for me."
"I needed sympathy."
"And boatloads of therapy!"
"Dude, we have got to work on our song writing skills. That was awful." "I know." Sobbed White Dino. "I was never creative in music class." "Bye August 2023." Team Dino.
You may have noticed I changed my X account to professional mode! This doesn't change anything. I am not here in any official capacity, still just an Uber fan of the Speckles movies and an eccentric waffler/typist. Curious about that "Promote" button but I wouldn't dare…!
Some time last year: I wrote my "FINAL" birthday piece with Speckles and Co. Believing 4 Dinos in my room would cause the floor to collapse…we came crashing through together! Lo and behold: Many buildings in Britain are now unsafe due to low cement standards!? A good metaphor!
Look what White Dino got for his 46th Birthday. Our very first Darren Naish Dinosaur Book! Now we can learn all kinds of things about Dino Lore. Also included the other two Dinos in my room. They look a bit tense but it's the best they could do at short notice!
Two drinks matts and one lenticular Birthday card. That is all the Dino stuff I have left in this life! If you want more…feel free to get me some. Even if it's from the other Dino franchise! I particularly want the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Everyone loves that guy! G and WD.
Some connections to blow your mind: I discover both Dino King movies. They shatter my heart. I write fictional plot for 3RD movie to find out why? This is my 1ST Speckles FanFiction. I type exactly that into Google's search bar. That's how I discover the FanFiction website…
I open an account under WhoIsTheWhiteDino and upload. FanFiction is known for technical glitches and the best way to keep up with the admins is to open a Twitter Account. Wanting more than an "I Spy" account I then perform a deep search for various Dino Folk and Organizations…
One I find is Darren Naish. The great Dino Book writer of our time. The name Gareth Peach is now bizarrely entwined with the Speckles Fandom and Paleo Media! So I ask you…What is coincidence? I didn't even know Dinos and FanFiction existed three years back! The White Dino.
The White Dino and Time's Arbiter are sprawled out on a big double bed. They are surrounded by fans and coolers. There is a terrible din but they can still speak. "Bloody hell Mr. Arbiter. I thought last summer was hot but this September has been a beast." Huffed White Dino…
"Indeed." Time's Arbiter replied. "Eternal entities we may be but our vessel is still human. And we feel the heat just as he does." "Where is Gareth now?" Asks White Dino. "He's off having another shower!" "For goodness sake our water bills will be through the roof!" Team Dino.
As a representative of Dinosaur Divinity on Earth…I feel it is important to keep track of the actual Paleo Community. Now the things I tell you are a bit bonkers but that is the point. My job is to pull the words and ideas out of the ether…yours is to take them in and ponder…
Am I just another nutcase who hears voices? Or is there a deeper truth to the things I have written? One thing you may believe…I could not have produced the Speckles Project without help. I had a lot of help. But I was the only one in the room at the time of writing! G and WD.
Final Photo Post.
Speckles - We arrived at a vast and fruitful land. Truly this was Paradise.
Blue-Eyes - We built our Paradise. You simply found yours.
Junior - Blue-Eyes is still here?!
Gareth - This is one possible outcome. Could there have been another?
It would appear FanFiction has had another meltdown. This time the Admins are working like warhorses to fix it again. Ironically the same thing happened last September. Nothing worked for 10 days. Even after they repaired it…it took another 4 days to fully function! Up Next…
After my last photo post, I realized something. It doesn't matter what Internet service works or not. I AM the Speckles Project! As long as I'm on this Earth it has life. The FanFic Admins and myself have that in common. We work for a higher purpose…whether we want to or not!
It should come as no surprise…I built another chapter for White Dino's 46th Birthday! I would add it now but I'll wait until FanFiction is more stable.
And, is it me or should this place just have been rebranded "Twitter X"?
"X" alone seems like we didn't have a name yet!
Quick question before everyone vanishes. WHY DINOSAURS? I mean if Speckles and Blue-Eyes had been Rabbits or Pigeons or Lemmings or even Daleks…none of this would have been. But they had to be the Jack and Rose of the prehistoric era. I think about little else. Which is why…
Blue-Eyes sits at the top of my Twitter X account like an ethereal presence. A pair of disembodied eyes that see all. Like White Dino she is never really alive or dead. A ghost and an idea. A fictional character who passed on and took a piece of me with her. She will live again.
Hello everyone, Speckles here. We are coming up to the 3rd anniversary of this whole thing, and we have no idea what else to tell you? As a token of our thanks, we may VERIFY our Twitter X account. Goodbye. #Tarbosaurus.
The End.
Well, you never know? Gareth.
