happy pride month
the part of Eragon i return to again and again in my mind is the ending. to defeat a nigh-all-powerful immortal wizard king dictator, the titular Eragon, aided by the psychic remnants of the evil Galbatorix's dragon victims, casts a spell to make Galbatorix feel all of the pain and suffering he's caused. and galbatorix kills himself.
weaponized empathy!
the real kicker is, if i'm remembering correctly, galbatorix committing suicide wasn't even the goal he had in mind in casting that spell. eragon was confronted with near-inevitable defeat at the start of the final showdown, and wanted desperately, bitterly, for galbatorix to understand exactly what he had become before he killed eragon.
really fascinating stuff.
roran begging the leader of the varden to postpone an important expedition just so he and katrina won’t have a bastard tells you all you need to know about how eragon was viewed and treated by others growing up as a bastard
I think Eragon needs an ant farm :D
my favorite part about eragon is that he HATES killing. he is constantly trying to save lives at the detriment of his own self. he has panic attacks about going into battle, not because he’s scared and unskilled, but because he’s so good at killing that he knows there will be too much blood on his hands. he hesitates to heal a baby, not because he doesn’t want to do it, but because he thinks the baby deserves to have cleaner and less bloody hands heal her.
he’s just a teenager raised on a farm in a remote valley suddenly thrust into politics and war when all he wants is to fly with his best friend. he feels like its his duty to save everyone and everything. even enemies who have slain countless comrades have his compassion.
the thought of absorbing the life force of any living creature, dying or not, disgusts him. he has the weight of the entire continent on his shoulders and he still weeps at the loss of an ants life. he speaks to older people about this multiple times and all they ever say is that it’s gruesome but necessary. he’s just a boy with too much empathy in a world overflowing with violence that he feels responsible for.
Movie Eragon: What is this strange reptilian looking creature with wings? Bursting out from that stone and hissing and snorting smoke from its nostrils? Let's see if it drinks milk.
Book Eragon: Ah, a dragon. It makes sense now, on why the stone was so durable. I must feed it scraps of meat and although I've only had it for a day and half, if something were to happen to it, I will kill everyone in this town and then myself.
Idc what anyone says about Eragon or the rest of the Inheritance cycle books but Christopher Paolini will always be a legend for the 100 year old immortal elf woman telling the in love 15 year old hero:
"You're a child. No."
I gotta say, I'm really glad eragon and arya didn't end up together, like the cliche guy gets the girl in the end trope but it's really fucking funny that at the end of the series Eragon is a virgin but saphira is not. Queen
the moment i first understood the myth of meritocracy i think was when i read the "Eragon" books as a teenager, and it said on the back that the author had started writing them at 15 and it became a bestseller. this stressed me out so much, I also wanted that kind of success in writing at such a young age & kept thinking I should also be able to do it, that I must be doing something wrong – and then YEARS later i found out his parents had a publishing company and financed him touring through the whole U.S before the books became successful
Saphira & Eragon's dynamic is so much fun in the books. Saphira is a diva, a woman who knows who she is and what she wants, and usually presents the intrusive thoughts. A real Queen of the Skies and she god damn knows it.
And then there's Eragon. He likes bugs. Also has the insane ability to 1 v 1, solve the craziest of puzzles (usually this ability is on cooldown), and will happily wait four hours for a doctors appointment.
Eragon, freshly 16, in prison, on drugs, with a concussion, hasn't eaten or drank anything all day, telling the most powerful enemy he's ever met that his true name is "I'm going to kill you", then walking out of his cell, killing several guards and threatening to embed a molten hot grain of sand in the last guard if he doesn't talk. Then promptly scarfing down some random food while sitting under a table with his unconscious crush, failing a sword fight against aforementioned enemy and messing up the timing on his dragon's dramatic entrance and nearly falling out of the sky. Incredible
Gonna be honest a lot of people deep down view cheating as worse than abuse which is why so many people view downright controlling and manipulative behavior in a relationship as 100% permissible so long as that behavior is centered around either preventing or discovering cheating.
