So does the plot line closely follow what’s happened in the original books? What’s the major differences between your version and books? (Besides the modern aspect, lol)

Oof, okay. This is gonna be hard to explain, mostly because my writing is usually ‘outside’ the plot and isn’t a chapter-by-chapter type rewrite or AU, but I’ll do my best. 

In short? When talking about the timeline we have in the original IC series, MIC is almost separate from IC after the first half of Book 1. The first major divergence is that Brom lives. Not only is Brom alive, but Glenwing survives the ambush. He loses an arm, but he’s very much alive and rejoins Arya with the spellcasters sent to protect Eragon and Saphira. 

EDIT: I felt I should add that a lot of the general plot points through Eldest remain the same. I’m still trying to figure out Brisingr and Inheritance though.

But let’s back up for a second and zoom way out. Get more general.

Starting at the Fall of the Riders: While Paolini’s official timeline has the Fall lasting about 4 years, with Arya being born a year before the final conflict, I’ve toyed with it a bit so that it lasts maybe 5 to 7ish years. I wanted the effect of the war to carry more weight in a way that is remembered and passed on through the shorter lived races. We don’t get much of grown human grandchildren in IC talking about how their grandparents fought alongside the Riders and elves in an attempt to preserve the Golden Age. Along with that, people alive (I’m talking in their 30s to 60s) in the books would likely have quite vivid memories of the Forsworn and their dragons terrorizing the world. And in truth, I wanted Arya to have some memories and impressions of her father and the differences between him and Islanzadí. 

I’ve also extended the time that the ‘books’ take place over. Paolini has Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance taking place over a year. It’s honestly ridiculous, and I’m not going to soften that statement at all. So the timeline is extended. I hover around 5 years, but that occasionally feels like it would be longer considering how much slice of life and non-main-plot type writing I do. MIC has never really been about following the plot of IC but more about the effects of the conflict on the characters. It’s stuff we don’t get to see because the focus is usually on Eragon and Saphira and they’re just so rushed to end the war. 

Let’s see what else I can think of…. Ah, well, Brom eventually does tell Eragon about being his father. He kinda goes on a rage rant that Murtagh told Eragon he was Morzan’s son and grabs Eragon in front of that whole little meeting and tells him ofc Morzan isn’t his dad because ‘YOU’RE MY SON, DAMN IT!’ and yeah there’s some drama but it works out with a nice hug. 

Islanzadí doesn’t die in the final conflict, but is humbled in some way. She keeps the throne, and after a year of recovery where the council handles things and Arya helps them reintegrate into greater Alagaësia society without offending too many people and starting another war. Arya and Firnen join Eragon and Saphira after that. 

Speaking of those two Riders...with more time for development, and more time for Eragon to mature and Arya to heal, as well as both of them to properly get to know each other, I do plan on having Eragon and Arya start a relationship. There’s issues with it still, and I don’t write much about it because it’s still iffy at best for me (I’m aromantic and asexual so writing romance is always a little wonky, and I also kin MIC!Arya as somewhat-clueless-to-hints demiromantic/demisexual so that’s always interesting to work with…) but I feel the extended timeline could make it more realistic and healthy. 

Alright that’s all I have. It’s quite a bit, haha! I’ve mostly written MIC for more prequel type things, as well as kept my writing in the times of the first and second books, so the plot isn’t very well done. Hope you enjoy what I have though! :)

I’ve answered the part of your question about the plot/timeline, but not fully answered your question, really. Besides the ‘modern’ aspect, there’s SIGNIFICANT changes to characterization and personalities for lots of the characters. If you want more of that kind of explanation, feel free to make another ask (or I’ll just make a reblog extension for this one) and I’ll gladly go over what I have/know of my versions of the characters thus far! They kinda...make themselves sometimes when I write, so characters I haven’t written about often are less developed in MIC than I’d like.

About the Bow Tie Eye

The eye on his bow tie is real. He can see out of it. It works

The only downside is it almost has a mind of its own and will stare at what it wants, which unfortunately it’s favorite thing seems to be absolute direct eye contact with others

Which makes Creator very uncomfortable as he hates prolonged eye contacts, so this usually makes him have to put his hand over the eye to cover it

Also the more stressed Creator is the more “powerful” the eye becomes. Like if Creator is super stressed or smth the eye will give extremely vivid and horrid hallucinations and stuff, asleep or awake, dream or real life, and you can tell when this happens because the crimson pupil will start to glow very bright and threateningly

Nobody knows why this is the way it is, but this “third eye” has existed for as long as Creator can remember. Is it a curse? Was he born with it? Only time will tell.

Sorry if this is a bit intrusive but, how did you go from posting p links to being uncomfortable writing smut and almost calling yourself asexual?

okay the wording is definitely a little accusatory imo but we ball

first thing is that ive had more bad experiences SINCE I started my account, ive also been through a type of therapy since I made my blog which meant I had to talk about past traumas that I had been shoving down in my memories, so my uncomfort got MUCH MUCH worse inbetween the time frame lol.

however: i was uncomfortable then and im uncomfortable now. I think people forget I have and do and im still planning on writing smut despite my uncomfort with sexual stuff.

I posted p links before because I didnt think I could write like at all but I still wanted to make friends and be active on here, the same reason I forced myself to write smut fics that I didnt like.

my umcomfort is because of traumatic experiences, no one will or should have to have a logical response so even if i went from comfortably posting p links to now hating smut which isnt entirely the case then I dont see why anyone should be questioned on it.

like I read smut all the time, im just uncomfortable being sexual MYSELF, p links never felt personal to me but writing smut fics always felt really personal and exposing so it takes a lot to do

I also think you may not completely understand what being asexual means, plenty of aexual people will still read and write smut and genuinely enjoy it, it just personally makes me uncomfortable.

I dont mind questions like this but um yeah it definitely feels a little accusatory but that could be the fact im bad at reading tones 😭 I appreciate the ask tho !!
