Brisingr and Inheritance rereading post
Making a second part because the first got too long SO
I'm already past the opening part with eragon and roran saving katrina. It's definitely one of the coolest scenes in the saga and I LOVE how the two first big moments are basically eragon and nasuada aura farming. Nasuada with the knife test thing (i don't know what it's called in english sorry) and eragon deciding the fate of sloan are the single most important contributions in their character developments: it's basically paolini telling you they are fit to rule everyone because they have compassion and humanity and inner strength beyond every other character, yes even roran, saphira, the elves, etc. No one in the book has the goodness and purity of heart eragon has, and no one is as cunning and determined as nasuada. NO ONE CAN TOUCH THEM BEST CHARACTERS SORRY IT'S TRUE
One thing that has always irked me was the progressive character assassination of Orrin. Yes i know eventually someone has to take one for the team and become a Shitty Person otherwise the story is a bit unrealistic, BUT DID IT HAVE TO BE THE FUNKY NERD CHILL KING????😭😭😭 Like i hate how they basically shit on him and Surda even tho he's one of the reasons the rebellion succeeds in the end. Orrin was giving money, resources and a land to these mfs and he gets dust in return!!! JUSTICE FOR ORRIN NEOW.
also i know. I'm annoying. I know roran gets better from now on bc he reunited with katrina and he gets to do his manly man missions, but god is he unbearable sometimes. I never EVER understood how OP he is compared to everyone including the literal main character and how somehow the narrative bends to his will. He can do no wrong, he's the strongest, manliest, smartest, bravest of all. There's a part where even nasuada envies his relationship with katrina. NASUADA. It reminds me of those annoying couples of locals who think they won in life bc they have five kids and a house by the time they are 23. I TRULY DGAF NASUADA PRETTIER + STRONGER + QUEEN OF THE WORLD + RATIO + I SEE A TRAUMATIZED PROBLEMATIC HOT GOTH LOSER IN YOUR FUTURE STAY STRONG DIVA
LMFAO BYE feeling so validated rn
Okay I wanted to keep this post heavy spoiler free but I CAN'T so if you're reading this skip the jump
I'm at the part where Eragon talks with Jeod about Brom and he asks him about Morzan and Selena and!!!!!!!!!!! My girl selena was moving like a PRO in these books, two baby daddies, both dragon riders AND two dragon riders kids????? UNPLAYABLE DIVA
Honestly i've been fighting the urge to jump to the brom x selena obsession but. i will be making art i don't care!!!!!!!!
so funny of Murtagh to crash roran's wedding. that was sooooo me coded actually pov you just discovered you have an evil cousin and a week later he crashes your wedding with his teen dragon for the vibes
My taste has definitely changed because I used to love the parts of the book where Eragon was dealing with the drawes drama in the Farthen Dur and Roran was doung missions with the Varden and now I'm dreading them. Like save me PLEASEEEE omg!
I enjoyed the Carvahall village trip to Surda wayyy more ouchhh
Katrina saying roran is better than eragon (!!!), murtagh, galbatorix, the elves etc. because he doesn't have powers girl you're pissing me off stfu
If roran was so great then why no dragon choose him??? I can't stand the roran propaganda sorry guys but it gets to a point!! Let's just make him the main character then. Let's just send him to galbatorix with that fuckass hammer and a dream since he's the smartest strongest bravest of all.
Also the irony of roran wielding some random hammer he took from horst and never damaging it but eragon breaking the most excellent sword made by dwarves in two seconds. I'M SO TIRED book 1 eragon and murtagh would have easily beat his ass using only their hands but sureee okayyyy fuck off
There are some scenes that really make me chuckle. Like eragon dreaming about morzan telling him to join him. He's wearing A HELMET, A CLOAK AND HE'S TELLING HIM TO JOIN HIM. Okayyy darth vader
Roran killing 193 soldiers with the sheer power of "I love my wife" IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE
So there's this dad reveal at the end of brisingr..... Let's just say im bawling my eyes out haha
The making of Brisingr (sword) is THE scene. Main character of swords I LOVE HER SO MUCH
I got to draw swords like.
Thorn every time he has to fight another dragon
Anyways i finished Brising and besides some parts (roran) i confirm it's still my favorite of the saga. So much happens, there's never a dull moment (maybe the election of the new dwarf king but it's still a super cool spy story moment + the farthen dur is such a cool location) and it really is the part of the story where eragon and saphira mature and become 100% dragon and rider YEAHHHHHHH
Now. If you think i wasn't gonna cry during the last parts like i've always have then you're a fool. There's something so heartbreaking (no pun intended) in SPOILER AHEAD
.
.
Oromois and Glaedr's deaths, mostly the fact that you get to see what the bond between dragon and rider really means and what happens when it's cut abruptly. Also damn oromis was so reassuring to Eragon and he died literally ten seconds into the battle 💀💀💀 my washed goat
JKJKJK now we head to the final with the strangest, most alien of the books. Shit is gonna go down NOWWW
The shift in Eragon and Arya's dynamic in this book OHHHHH INJECT IT
Guys i'm sorry but i'm afraid I'll repeat myself over and over because the character assassination of Orrin has started and I want to smash my head against a well. Meanwhile roran gets to be the worlds favorite person AURRGHHHHHHHAHAAAAA I CAN'T STAND THIS
Eragon and Arya's duel scene is INSANEEE INJECT IT
Arya using her charm to distract him THAT IS A CRAZY AND DANGEROUS WOMAN. Are you kidding me
saxophone sounds every time Thorn emerges from the back of the galby army
the most diabolical act of writing in this saga is the cliffhanger after murtagh and thron emerge from the walls of dras-leona and then you get like ten chapters of roran conquering some random city with a hammer and a dream
like. we don't need all the details GO AWAY
Unrelated to inheritance posting but i was listening to Remember the time by michael jackson and the video is totally how i imagine brom infiltrated morzan's castle and started playing in his face
I hate that carn died fuck you galbatorix he was the best of us all
Blödgharm ragebaiting glaedr I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT PART
Is this a safe space to say that Elva pisses me off
Saphira POV chapters are so fucking funny especially when she's beating the shit out of Thorn and bullying him
Nasuada got kidnapped and everything is going to shit i don't wanna read this anymore!!!!!!!
Update on Orrin's character assassination: IT'S SO BAD it's even worse than i remembered. Like he was chill and then boom he's Eragon #1 hater LMFAOOO he won't let him breathe he's such a little bitch help?????? Someone save him from this evil writing NOW
We have finally reached PEAK (nasuada's imprisonment and eragon and saphira's trip to vroengard chapters)
Gosh i wish there were more nasuada's pov chapters because her mind is SOOO INTERESTINGGGGG. The way she's so disciplined and doesn't let the circumatances bend her will oh my goatsuada you really are the best of us all
I legit don't know what the fuck was i thinking the first five times i read these books because this latest reading is soo different
I used to think murtagh was such an asshole even during his evil arc meanwhile bro was literally forced to do everything he did and he clearly says it in at the end of Eldest?????? And when he immediately goes in the oracle room and starts screaming and CRYING to nasuada OHHHH MY EMO BOYYYY MY POOR MEOW MEOW CHARACTER EVER
Also it's fucking funny how eragon catches strays in every single chapter he's not a part of. Somebody is always talking shit about my boy 😭😭 murtagh it's not his fault he was born omggggg it's not his fault your dad had zero game and lost his baddie wife to his arch enemy LIKE.
i don't even know how many chapters with nasuada and murtagh i've read. i'm enjoying this nasuada streak like a line of coke. peak everything. OHHHHHHHH THEY ARE SO INSANEEEEEE
i've read so much today it's embarassing, like i thought arya kissing eragon's forehead would have sent me into a coma but whatever is going on between these two is peak insanity
and galbatorix??? villain of all time. he's sooo sick and twisted omg bro really believes he's the good guy!!!!!! anyways. bertie carvel is officially galbatorix in my mind. the role is yours congratulations leave that horrible HP adaptation and join the inheritance tv show premiering tonight in my head!!!!
This book will have you on the edge of your seat with a streak of nasuada chapters where her and murtagh redefine the very essence of the enemies to lovers trope, yearn so much they can't even say out loud what they feel for eachother THEY DON'T EVEN KISS just to cut to eragon eating a giant snail
Peak delusion is the eldunarì controlling every single event from the fall of the order to the varden campaign, even guiding brom and arya's actions BUT NOT RORAN. BECAUSE RORAN IS THE STRONGEST BEING EVER AND HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED DRAGONS. OH FUCK OFF
Just fell to my knees we are back to roran's pov and he's actually sword fighting with orrin I didn't remember this AT ALL
I thought this was some bullshit i made up but they really do hate eachother this is so fucking funny
Also imagine being in the varden and going from nasuada and eragon leading the rebellion with the power of friendship to. those two fighting like they are in some reality show
FINAL BATTLE TIME!!!!!!!!! I would be so sad if i didn't have two more books to read helpppp
Some considerations:
- galbatorix greeting everyone in the throne room like yayyyyy im so happy to meet you guys ^_^ <3<3
- the elves absolutely hating roran bc he's super racist but they need to keep it cool for the Greater Good. I'm sorry guys. I know, me too #imtooelvespilledforthis #thatfriendwhoistoowoke
- murtagh appearing randomly in the background of galbatorix's fortress like some backrooms npc LMAOOO what are you doing!!!!!!!
- the elves gang sacrificing their swords for eragon. #moved
LET'S KEEP READING!!!!
ISLANZADI NO
LOVING NASUADA CHANGED MURTAGH'S TRUE NAME!!!! HE REALIZED HE HAS SOMEONE WORTH SACRIFICING HIS LIFE FOR!!!!! THE READER IS TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK AND ALSO IS CRYING
Guys i'm reading the epilogue now and my heart is literally so heavy...no book has ever made me feel this way only inheritance!!!! I'll cry very soon FUCK
For privacy and dignity reasons i can't post any pictures of me but just imagine me bawling my eyes out because I just finished the book and it never EVER gets easy. FUCK.
This saga is so important to me and it's made me cry for like 12-13 years now like it's the very first time. If they ever adapt it and the ending product is as half as good as the books are, I'll cry even more
Now that the main cycle reading is over, i feel much more free to draw lmaooo i couldn't do it before
Anyways eragon and arya you will always be famous and one of my favorite doomed romances ever
Just realized I'll be the sane age Paolini was when he finished inheritance. Day #ruined
