Dear The Underland Chronicles Fanfiction Writers...
Letter 5
Author's Note: While this series is meant to be comedic, I think what is being written is also quite important for everyone to know. The Underland Chronicles is quite literally my favoite work of fiction to exist, as is evident based on my profile name. To see so many people get so many things wrong is painful.
Dear The Underland Chronicles Fanfiction Writers,
Wow. Just wow. You all are crazy.
For one, though I am able to travel between the Overland and Underland whenever I want, I'm not going to do it just because a soft little Overland boy misses his girlfriend, or vice versa. If I were to travel to the Overland, you best believe, it would have to be for a very good reason.
Now, I understand that the fate of the Underland being at stake is definitely a big issue, but therein lies your next problem: just because Gregor played a key role in defending Regalia does not mean that he is our only hope. I, for one, am a very capable fighter. There are others who are a lot more skilled than him. Just because he can rage does not mean he is immediately the top dog. It takes years and years of training to get to my level. Three or four, by himself, is nowhere close to enough. Now, if he had five or six with me, that would be a different story. But his return is not confirmed to any of us. We can wish all we want, but it doesn't change any outcome.
Another thing: I am not just a careless whelp who has no feelings. I may not talk of them often, or ever, to some people, but that does not mean that I do not have them. You try losing your entire family and surviving multiple wars and see if you have emotions afterwards.
I try my best to achieve my goals, and I usually do so through whatever means necessary. If that means sharing my emotions, then so be it. But I am not just a pit of sarcasm and snarls. I am able to be affectionate, as you all saw with Lizzie, and I am able to be sympathetic towards others, especially over loss, as you saw with the Warrior and his bond.
When you come up with all your little ideas, do try your best to represent me, and my ideals, goals, and aspirations, as well as they truly deserve.
Best regards (to myself), Ripred the Peacemaker.
P.S. I am literally a rat. I don't have opposable thumbs. I can't hand a sword to Gregor. Also, I didn't write all this, Vikus did for me.
Voila. My fifth favorite character in the whole series. Very often, I see people mistakenly write Ripred to be unfeeling and emotionless. But I ask you, would you be that way if you suffered as much as he has? Come on, be better.
Happy reading!
