The scene where Eragon visited Murtagh in his cell in the 1st book perfectly shows how close they were

Specifically, when Murtagh was talking about Nasuada and how beautiful she was. Maybe he didn't even realize how his words might sound, because he trusted Eragon and he could be himself with Eragon. He didn't even think that Eragon might judge him or use his feelings for Nasuada against him. And Murtagh wouldn't just bluntly say sth so personal, he grew up in the court so he knows that anything he says could be used against him

Murtagh was just himself, he didn't wear a mask and he trusted Eragon enough to speak freely around him

Very cool but funny scene in Eldest. Roran is chatting to a kid from carvahall during the trip from Narda to Teirm. I think it’s Nolfavrell but can’t quite remember.

Anyway. The kid is practicing knife throwing and has reportedly been acting up, and his mother has asked Roran to help guide him given how at this point half the village thinks he’s some sort of mad-god-demon-creature of battle, but really he’s just a guy with a hammer and willpower. And don’t get me wrong, Roran proves himself very capable in battle, he’s literally the best human fighter we see, but the books openly admit that’s not because he’s technically good, he’s got no training until like the middle of the third book and even then, he’s no expert, he’s just smart, strong, and again, godlike willpower. But at this point, Roran has only fought like 3 or 4 times, and he’s giving all this information about “how it’s a bad idea to throw your weapon in a fight”. Which let’s be real, is just common sense and very realistic.

But the way the scene plays out, it paints Roran in a very similar manner to Oromis’s lessons to Eragon (which are happening literally at the same time as this scene, there’s obvious parallels going on). The wizened old warrior teaching an unruly pupil who won’t behave himself. When Roran is like, 18 and has only been in a handful of fights.

Again, my favourite thing about Paolini is his sheer commitment to the fact that from day fucking one, Roran is an avengers level threat. I have said it before and I’ll say it again. This man would charge Galbatorix as long as he had his hammer and a plan.

Good morning to everyone today but especially Fabian Aramais Seacaster who might be biting the bullet today

If Paolini was homeschooled… how did he nail the public school trope of the teacher giving you your first bully with Eragon and Vanir…??

A conspiracy 👀 perhaps??👀

Eragon initially doesn't see any resemblance between Roran and Murtagh.

Until he fucks up in some way, at which point they, in near perfect sync, begin Stern Older Sibling Scolding. It is like being lectured by someone in a mirror. At which point he starts to realize that, unbeknownst to him, introducing them to each other was a calculated risk, and while he can now read, he is bad at math.

[dellanir]

Eragon’s tanning saga

starts off tan

dragon magic makes him paler

actively tans himself again

One thing about Eragon is that he is NOT about that pale life. Man is so committed to tanning he treats Mount Arngor like a tropical getaway.

Gary is almost certainly who Sara is referring to

[bi-halobearer]

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

and it lives only in our memory

I’m gonna throw the professor into that fourth category with the caveat that he doesn’t lose the plot, he’s just critiquing it constantly.
