Red Claw being a brutal dictator does have appeal. Given what we've seen in the series, this would indicate that living conditions under his rule are appaling (perhaps not only due to him alone, but due to the state of the Mysterious Beyond as well) and Chomper's parents are under his rule as well, and not being able to escape it, they would send off their child to a better place. However, then there is the question of Ruby's parents. If they wanted their children to be safe, they wouldn't only send off Ruby, but her siblings as well.

This would indicate that Ruby's parents are not under Red Claw's direct rule and have an easier life than Chomper's parents. Perhaps Chomper was initially supposed to be sent off to Ruby's parents, but then Ruby's parents, seeing the effects of Red Claw's rule, decided to go a step further, and devised a plan to throw off Red Claw, and put the execution of the first part of their plan into the hands of their eldest child, by sending her off with Chomper to the Great Valley (to which Chomper's parents presumably agreed). This marks Ruby's parents as somewhat zealous about their cause, risking the wellbeing of their child to help out strangers.

The motivation and inclination of Ruby's parents is one of those aspects of LBT that require further exploration.

Merry Christmas everyone! We just had barbecue ourselves, Nahla.   Snow is becoming a thing of the past in most of Europe.

^Ducky would have run out of siblings a long time ago judging by the recent Chomper captions.  

About Chomper's name, it's quite simple. He has one name in one language, and another in the other. He'd allow the leafeaters call him Chomper simply because it is much easier for them than pronouncing his sharptooth name (considering how alien the sharptooth language sounds to the leafeaters, these two languages must be radically different from each other). This is common with humans, for example Chinese and Jews when moving abroad will often adopt a local name to fit in more easily, but continue using the old names in their respective communities. Before the modern age,  when converting to Christinaity or Islam, people would adopt new names for official purposes and continue using their old names in everyday life. The same thing was when people received Roman citizenship.

Welcome to the GOF! Judging by your username, are there any fanfictions you like in particular?

R?

Yeah, a smelly reference. You can continue, if the smell doesn't bother you.  

All three are present.
