The responses this drawing got on Reddit—stunned. Absolutely stunned.

Y’all .

Edit:

HE POSTED IT ON TWITTER

Two days later:

I am not sure what to do with the information that over 5,000 people have seen this, but, um, maybe it made someone laugh? 😂😅

do you think nasuada will ever tell murtagh about her vision in the soothsayer’s hall. just a casual ”yeah in these magic fumes that can maybe predict the future we were happily married and had four kids. might not mean anything though”

poor murtagh would probably die on the spot

One's gotta respect how Galbatorix really pulled everything trough and always had something new to do. From destroying the Order, over getting himself on the throne, to enslaving all the eldunarya he had and then finding out the name of names. Plus some little side projects, like convincing the Ra'zac to work for him for example.

... if he just had been a little less mad...

Here is my favourite evil cult leader Bachel.

This piece is kinda rough, but I was too lazy to try and render this.

Murtagh Spoilers!!

Galbatorix, out of his mind: GiVe Me A nEw DrAgOn

The Riders, concerned: Uhhhh, let’s try therapy first

Galbatorix: AsShOlEs!

Bachel: Kill them

Galbatorix: Excellent idea, I’ll do that

Thank you so much @tonhalszendvics !!! This is lovely brainfood; I didn’t even think that far xD

Buuuut yes. I like that idea of Morzan being the first and Brom the last. Maybe whatever happened at Bachel's place of bullshit has mentally scarred Morzan so much, that he left. Or maybe something happened to Galbatorix there and with him being the og reason why Morzan joined, whatever change happened made him leave. It might take him a while to make that decision, during which he already gains a bad reputation, while Galbatorix goes around collecting allies. He switches sides when he decides to warn/save Oromis, despite them not having the best past. (Maybe he just wants some safety back.) His dragon still has their name then of course. Both get hurt enough during the fight with Fomora and Kialandi and the flight after, that they can't fight in the battle of Vroengard or Ilirea.

As for Brom. Hmmm. Maybe he got fed up because everyone kept telling him to stay put and do nothing, while Morzan is out there. So with riders and dragons being ambushed and the Order starting to fall apart in front of him, he might start thinking. Maybe remembers how much he respected and idolized Morzan. Ponders if maybe he was right all along. Now if we go with Brom and Morzan really missing each other by a short margin of time; maybe Brom gets the false news that Oromis and Glaedr have died and he and Saphira loose it a little with grief and fly to finally do something. They meet Galbatorix though, who with his charisma and nice words convinces them to join them, because you know; your old friend Morzan is with us too, riiiiiight? Galbatorix already had a feeling that Morzan might not be as loyal anymore and thus makes Brom swear a ton of oaths (consider that Brom is even younger than Morzan and maybe doesn't even quite grasp the severity of some of these oaths). Galbatorix gets some more oaths out of him when he tells him that Morzan has been killed by some remaining riders of the Order. When Brom hears rumors that Morzan has fled instead, it's too late already. And in that time Galbatorix has found out their true names anyway. Saphira and he can't escape.

After the banishing of names, Brom spends days and nights simply sitting with Saphira, afraid that it will start taking her mind any second. It doesn't. Maybe because they aren't there out of their free will, or perhaps because with Glaedr and Morzan’s dragon, there are two dragons left weaving the spell that have some strong fondness left for Saphira and that is maybe just enough. Even if they don't know that she isn't with the forsworn because she wants to.

So while Morzan and his dragon poke around, accidentally building a resistance with the Varden (while Morzan regularly snaps at Oromis that he is a coward for staying all hidden, simply for good measure and his stress relief), Brom tries to make the best out of his shit situation. It's not really working. He's very likely struggling with depression, considering the stress with thinking Morzan death and not getting full confirmation for years that he is indeed alive, as well as the long waiting and fearing on if Saphira’s name and personality maybe disappearing, and constantly having to do stuff he doesn't want to and hates to do, because Galbatorix lets out his frustration over Morzan’s escape on Brom even decades later by giving him all those cruel tasks.

.... also yes, let Brom change his true name later (maybe because of Eragon? :3 ), let him escape and put Brom/Morzan in there :D

Inheritance cycle were everything is roughly the same. But Brom was the forsworn (for some reason) and Morzan built up the Varden (by accident probably).

since murtagh is always trying to distract himself with writing poetry and thinking about magic, i really think he should take up knitting.

it starts with a replacement for the riding sweater that was ruined in bachel’s village, but it quickly turns out to be wayyyy too complicated for a first project, so one of thorn’s saddlebags is now stuffed full with a tangled nest of itchy yarn in a shape that could almost resemble a half-completed sweater. murtagh refuses to acknowledge it, think about it, or throw it out, because even if it’s shit, it was a lot of work. it remains there for years.

eragon gets socks for the winter holidays and is OVERJOYED. he wears them every day for a week until murtagh yells at him for being gross and not changing his clothes.

ismira gets baby socks! they are quick to make and katrina treasures them above everything in the world. she’s heartbroken when ismira eventually outgrows them.

roran gets heavy mittens for the cold carvahall winters, and he repairs them and repairs them until they’re almost unrecognisable, like a horrible theseus ship of yarn. (katrina gets matching mittens. it’s very cute).

nasuada is starting to wonder why she never gets any handmade gifts from murtagh and is secretly a bit peeved about it, but in reality it’s because murtagh views her as wayyyyy too beautiful and glamorous for his crude creations. after she finally mentions it, murtagh picks out a beautiful deep red silk/merino yarn and makes her a scarf. she wears it every winter and makes sure to create her winter outfits around it.

murtagh still doesn’t have a god damn riding sweater.

Ket Reads Murtagh and bitches about it, 11/1/24 (Spoilers. Duh.)

I start this off with a continuation of the absolute screeched comment I made aloud at work yesterday when Niernin was revealed: BITCH! THAT AIN’T YOURS! WHAT THE FUCK?!

And now a new comment: I’m realizing there’s a lot of stuff in IC that comes up as groups of 12-13 and uh…I donno but it makes part of my brain itch. Currently unknown if good itch or bad itch or annoying itch, but an itch nonetheless.

Also here’s my daily ‘Fuck Bachel I really fucking dislike her’ comment so I don’t forget to do it.
