A/N: This chapter contains spoilers for SPM, so read at your own risk if you haven't finished the game! Anyway, this one's about one of my other favorite characters!

The peaceful silence of one of the castle's rooms was interrupted by an angry growling noise.

O'Chunks, who had made this noise, took a seat in a chair, infuriated by the way things were going.

Out of all the characters, why was he the fandom's personal punching bag? What had he even done to get these people so ticked off at him?! He was a nice person, strong, honorable...

...and anything he knowingly did was nowhere near as bad as what Dimentio had done! Why were people praising Dimentio, even after all of the things he did?

After all, it was Dimentio's fault that all the worlds had almost been destroyed, it was Dimentio's fault that Tippi and Count Bleck had to leave for parts unknown, it was Dimentio's fault that Nastasia had almost been killed...

...

Nastasia...

O'Chunks began thinking about his beloved lass. He wanted to be with her so much, and would do anything for her.

Unfortunately, not everyone seemed to realize that he only romantically loved her. The people who controlled everyone from beyond would sometimes pair him with other people.

Sometimes, he'd end up with Mimi, even though he only liked Mimi as a friend.

Other times, he'd be forced to go out with Dimentio, even though they didn't get along well at all.

There were even some times where O'Chunks had to be with a complete stranger. He would never understand why he was suddenly going out with some random stranger that he just met.

O'Chunks even remembered one time where he was forced to be with Bowser.

...and as soon as he remembered it, he wished he hadn't even thought about it in the first place.

This was just one of the ways that the people from beyond would make fun of him. The warrior could also remember being excluded from group photos, having insults (mainly about his apparent lack of intelligence) flung his way, waking up one day to find that everyone and their sister suddenly hated him, even if they were normally friendly towards him...

And, of course, there was the big debate over whether he was Scottish or Irish.

This debate caused O'Chunks to groan. He thought that the gender wars over Vivian and Birdo that he had once heard about were bad enough, now there was a nationality war over him!

From what O'Chunks could remember, his father had once told him that he came from a family of pure Scotsmen. Of course, O'Chunks' father had only told him once, and O'Chunks never got to ask his mother before the war started, so he wasn't sure if he remembered correctly...

But still...why did people like making fun of him? And why were they apparently doing the same thing to Nastasia?

...

O'Chunks quickly slipped back into daydreaming about his sweetheart.

A/N: Okay, a few things here. First of all, I'm not trying to bash Dimentio; these are just O'Chunks' thoughts. Secondly, I know that these thoughts don't entirely sound like him, but we've only seen his actual speech in the game, so we don't see what's going on in his mind. Third, that whole Scottish/Irish thing. I made up the whole thing about what his father said, just so I can clarify what I think. I know his name sounds Irish, but maybe Nintendo called him that because of how the two nationalities often get confused. So...yeah, I hope you liked this one.
