Brom: *snaps his hand out and grabs hers* Brom: Stop. It. Arya: .......... Arya: *holds out free hand, determined expression* Brom: *long suffering sigh of team dad* Brom: *reaches into deep coat pocket, retrieves a hard candy, puts it in Arya's hand and, as she unwraps it, takes the detached clip from her hand and sticks it in one of her ammo pouches* Absolute child. Arya: *through the candy tucked in her cheek* You're the one carrying around butterscotch, old man.

Jesus fucking Christ, IT'S BROM POST-WAR EVERYBODY!

[uluthrek]

inheritance cycle modern au in which all of the dragons are horses which makes eragon the underdog horse girl, saphira the underdog girl horse and brom the disgruntled and disillusioned horse trainer who doesn’t believe in the validity of this sport until he sees the ✨bond✨ eragon has with his horse saphira who is still as blue as she is in canon (don’t ask that‘s just how it works, if you question this, i‘ll track your ip).

and galbatorix is the aggressively eastern european horse girl dad who had some sort of hip injury that brought his eventing career to an abrupt end and now he must vicariously live through his protégé, murtagh, lest he kills himself. and thorn is the very expensive horse galbatorix bought for wish fulfillment purposes and murtagh and thorn are so horribly traumatized by all the stress and pressure of defeating little kids at the pony finals that they ✨bond✨.

oromis and glaedr are their direct opponents and galbatorix nancy kerrigan‘s them (oromis dies like he does canonically because honestly, hunters be like that) so murtagh can get his ribbon. and then there‘s the big final competition and eragon, underdog wonder magic horse girl, goes toe to toe with murtagh, tortured champion to be, and they have this epic horse battle (an 80cm clear round but the atmosphere is very intense) and eragon loses. but then brom delivers this epic speech about idk man like success and passion and whatnot and then he dies which gives eragon the final push to defeat murtagh but OH NO, thorn is HURT from being OVERWORKED and murtagh has an epic horse peril breakdown and tearfully tells galbatorix he‘ll withdraw.

so galbatorix goes „fuck the kid“ and gets shruikan (the very bad very big black warmblood stallion that shows up in every horse girl movie) to best eragon HIMSELF (but not before locking nasuada, the animal rights activist that murtagh has struck up a tentative romance with, in a porta-potty). and then him and eragon compete and it‘s INTENSE (meanwhile, roran and katrina have a sub plot about capturing a flock of runaway ducks that is constantly being cut to during that climactic scene) and shit is looking DISMAL for poor eragon until a vision of brom and also his dead mother, because this is a proper horse girl movie and not some bibi und tina bullshit, and that gives him the strength to defeat galbatorix.

and then he wins and thorn doesn’t die and someone frees nasuada from the porta-potty and she gets to punch galbatorix in the face. and fírnen (who is a horse but also still green) emerges during the post credit scene and meets arya and sets up a cash grabby amazon prime spinoff series and roran and katrina successfully capture the ducks and everyone is happy and there is no more horse peril.

the whole thing takes place in exactly one horse show afternoon. it makes such perfect sense actually you can fit everyone in. nar garzvog‘s at the grill and makes hot dogs. islanzadi does nothing but drink cheap wine and bitch from the sidelines. angela mans the beverage stall and tells everyone who wants to listen (or doesn’t) that toads don’t exist. solembum is the raccoon on her shoulder who violates all fda guidelines by simply existing. orrin is nasuada‘s bitter ex boyfriend who pretended to be vegan for years so she‘d like him only to be dumped for murtagh and his emo swagger in a heartbeat. orik is a shetland pony.

Francis the ladybug from A Bug’s Life

i love me a versatile male icon

Diego from Ice Age

yeah yeah we been knew. still got to mention him tho, can’t forget him.

on the topic of Ice Age, the human dad and the MOM had no reason to slay that hard and make me feel things

Easter Bunny from Rise of the Guardians

this one i HATE. somebody tell me WHY they had to make him like that!!! he’s simply toeing the line of a furry like it’s the mf circus!!! i don’t like this design choice at all, no matter the end result. it’s just not right. what horny pebbles were they feeding those animators my god.

Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold from Once Upon A Time

yeah both forms. yeah. ion wanna talk about it.

Brom from Eragon

last one i thought of. not that much of a stretch outside convention but i just thought i should mention it. while comrades were raving about Eragon and Murtag i was questioning what exactly it was about that old man that was so… (and also refusing to admit my big gay crush on Arya)

Reblogging via the MIC account because I don’t use the WeirdPonytail one for writing anymore.

Uh ha. Hahaha. Uuuh. Lemme go take a look. We um…Tonz you KNOW what I usually write.

Oh god yeah no I’m not linking that to a reblog chain.

Uuuh…

Here! I’m counting dialogue between quotation marks, no matter how many sentences between them, as a single sentence as it is technically a ‘single thought’ when I write them.

This is a part of a multi-section series I’m doing for Brom being lowkey kidnapped by his friends and forced to sober up and go through alcohol withdrawal because he got just a leeeeeetle close to a cliff edge while yelling about how much of a failure he was. Everyone comes to have their moment with him and try to help him through it, but around the end Arya comes to him for help with a problem of her own.

Glassy, not all there, flickering in minuscule, panicked adjustments to stay locked on as shadows flitted across them, but her eyes were staring into his. A sliver of a gap in the Recall’s walls.

“Good. Good!” Brom ran his thumbs along her cheekbones, trying to push through the touch another link to the physical, present world. The change in placement should have drawn her attention, furthered the anchor he was building through his voice. “And if I’m here, you can’t be there. Remember what we said about my ugly mug being in your hallucinations?”

Iunno just usual MIC stuff. @cylieria-the-dragonrider @shows-up-naked-covered-in-bees @archangelsunited y’all’s up!

This is quite frankly hilarious to me. Brom has amazing compatibility (the little puzzle pieces in the top corner of the character images) with everyone (including Matilda’s mum) except his dad! I didn’t do this, it’s just the way the characters were built, but I couldn’t have done it better if I’d planned it myself!

[anfroginous]

something i really like about writing kat is her complicated feelings on everyone around her.

because she says she hates matilda, and in a way, she does. but she's also obsessed with her, weirdly in love with her, and still cares about her, which she hates.

she says she hates ichabod, and she knows that's a lie, but she's scared to name her feelings. because if she fell in love with ichabod that means she can care about people, and that scares her.

she acts annoyed by verla, but she is scared of her. she knows that verla is the only one around that she really has to worry about. kat doesn't have any power over her, in the end.

she tries not to think about her dad that much, because she understands that if she pushes too far, the image she's built of him in her head will shatter. so instead of blaming him for her death, she blames everyone else. after all, if he let her die, he probably did smaller things to hurt her along the way. and she doesn't want to lose another parent.

i don't know how she feels about brom. mainly she's just annoyed. he's in the way, and matilda cares about him. he's just an annoyance to her. something to mess with.

yknow?

[shadeslayer]

hxh and eragon both executed "death of mentor figure" really well in unique ways imo. hxh with kite and that he shows up after gons gotten his license etc and that he was a past mentor we never met so gons feelings dictate our attachment to/understanding of him, he is part of gons overarching story of chasing his dad, and his death represents not the end of the ~tutorial phase~ but instead the True hopelessness & horror of the world gon already entered ages ago and the question isnt how gon will survive but more how will gon not kill everyone about this. and in eragon, broms is good retrospectively in the way he keeps haunting the story and eragons life and bringing it all back to the beginning over n over and the haunting of how they never got any real time together

after. four rewatches of headless, two of which were sponsored by dragging my parents into watching it with me, here’s a thought that i thunk.

spoilers below!!!

at least three of the characters (ichabod, matilda, baltus) all have fake books that they store their possessions inside. this makes varying levels of sense for their characters; matilda for the Vibes of spooky witch lady, baltus for keeping his bribery checks a secret, and ichabod for the fact that he’s a people pleaser who probably bought it off matilda to make her happy, but also ties in to a greater theme of the series.

(literally) not judging a book by its cover.

all three of these characters—and more!!—have ulterior agendas that are revealed throughout the series. ichabod isn’t just some dweeb in sleepy hollow by happenstance, he’s a descendant of the storms family, come back to town to right an ancient wrong. he is also a dweeb, but like. a cool dweeb. matilda isn’t just a witch, she’s keeping the undead corpse of her best friend alive with ancient evil magics and covertly working against her new friends. baltus isn’t just the town’s genial mayor, but a cutthroat politician who killed two people in his attempt to kill a third.

similarly, this lends itself to the story’s theme as a whole, that people are far more than what you expect. although this is plain to see in characters like brom (and his babes), who start off as airhead jocks with some pithy social commentary and wind up as airhead jocks with hearts of gold and loyalties as strong as the horseman’s sword, it is exemplified with the character of the horseman herself. so much of headless is about reexamining history and stripping away old biases. everyone believes the horseman is a decapitated hessian soldier, but is actually a woman practically written out of history in favor of her more famous husband. it’s about doing away with commonly accepted narratives and taking a closer look at the stories that accumulated to build the myth we all know today.

the fake books are both windows into the souls of their owners and the soul of the entire story!!! on the outside?? a beheaded hessian!!! on the inside??? a doing away with the ideas of colonialist cis white male-centric historical narratives that get preserved and a doing of justice for the names that get left out!!! it kicks ass!!!!! it kicks so much ass!!!!!

Modern Inheritance: Debrief, Pt. 1 (Intro)

(A/N: Politics! Verbal bullshitting! Thinly veiled threats! Overabundance of accessories and unnecessary magic use! POLITICS!

To quote Arya off screen, "I'd rather go through Gil'ead three more times than deal with any of this political hellscape, but *singsong* here I am! Putting on a STUPID dress uniform, about to be, for all intents and purposes, fucking INTERROGATED about being ambushed, losing my mate, teleporting a dragon egg, getting TORTURED while, haha, I was being asked a series of questions, also known as being interrogated, becAUSE THIS WON'T BE TRIGGERING AT ALL! :D GLEN WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T WE RENOUNCED OUR FUCKING CULTURE YET?!"

Arya is required to attend an official debriefing on the ambush and her captivity by the council of elf lords and ladies. She prefers when she gets stabbed from the front.)

~~~~~~

“I still think this could be done on paper.” 

Glenwing patted his commander’s shoulder and pulled her into his side for a quick hug, never once faltering in their pace as they meandered to the great hall. “You’ll do fine. You can handle questions.” He paused, a grim tilt to his half smirk. “Don’t handle these questions like you did the last ones you got. You’re supposed to answer these ones.”

The dark humor drew a similarly tight lipped grin from her. “I’m not worried about that.” 

Arya raised a hand to run it over her hair and shot her medic a sheepishly appreciative look when he caught her wrist. It had taken both of them an almost embarrassing amount of time to remember how to tie the Flat Crest braid required of elven women when in dress uniform. It was even longer for Glen to do it neatly enough for Rhunön to give the plait a passing inspection, the smith’s obsession with perfection not helping matters. 

They both hadn’t voiced what was on their minds during the entire, rather exasperating, process. The real reason why they had so much trouble tying what should have been a hairstyle they knew by heart after all these years. 

Fäolin had always been the one to do whatever hairstyle was asked of them for official events, even before he joined their squad. He’d laugh at their attempts whenever they returned to the forest, usher them into a chair and deftly weave bright silver or midnight black strands into the designs required in seconds. Arya and Glenwing had simply never had to learn.

Arya let out a rough sigh and tucked her thumbs under either side of the shiny belt clasped around her waist. She missed Wyrda’s familiar weight on her right hip. “This is just another political stunt. I can manage Islanzadí, we’re…I don’t know, figuring it out, I guess. But all of them?” The young elf gestured helplessly, a hint of sharp restlessness and budding frustration in the movement. “Who in the hells knows what they’re going to ask. There’s too many strings here, tangled in too many webs.” She made a face at the metaphors. “At least I’m falling into the stupid formal language again easy enough.”

“And just like that, you’re out of it.” Glen gave the combat liaison another squeeze around the shoulders, pointedly ignoring the open stare of a lone elf sitting in an alcove as they passed. “You can count Iläin to at least be fair. And Rendir’s still pretty fond of you, even if you haven’t really talked since you got back. They’re not all against you, and this is just another debriefing, not some official trial for blame.” 

Arya snorted softly. “Oh, we both know blame is going to be a factor. Valaria looked incensed when I said I wasn’t sure how Durza got through the preliminary wards on the outskirts without triggering an alarm. She’s got a lot to explain, but it’s not like I can question her.” 

Glen bobbed his head in reluctant agreement. “Yeah…Valaria might be an issue. She was pretty harsh on me when I had my own debriefing.” The medic tapped the tip of each mechanical finger against the end of his metal thumb, running through nerve check after nerve check as he realized a troubling fact. “Däthedr reigned her in, but…”

“But he and the Queen probably won’t do the same for me.” Arya shook her head. “Too much personal history. Any interference could be seen as them interfering with the investigation and trying to shield me.”

“It’s pretty clear there’s nothing to blame you for, even a Mani’s Cave salamander could see that.” The image of Lady Valaria of House Teorann standing at her podium as an eyeless, bioluminescent salamander, constantly pushing the useless spectacles she wore just for show up her slimy tube of a snout, made Arya crack a genuine smile. “Just be polite, don’t give them anything to jump on.”

“Or you could light a fire under their asses, see how they like it.” Both elves looked up, startled that there was already someone waiting outside the doors to the great hall. Brom shook out the match still burning from lighting his pipe and tucked it into a small leather pocket sewn into the inside of his armored coat. “Not literally. Why do I always feel like I have to add that on with you?”

“Because you taught me too well.” Arya flashed her former mentor a sharp toothed grin. “What are you doing here? Don’t you have a remedial study hall to get to, old man?”

Brom grumbled into his beard, pipesmoke wafting up each time his lips parted. He had let the hairs grow again since they arrived, no longer quite as neat or well-kempt but passable as it grew out into a more formidable piece of facial hair. “As if I’d let you in there without an inspection. You’d probably go in with your boots untied and your shirt untucked if I wasn’t here.” He glanced at Glenwing. “Well, if Glen let you get away with it.” The medic gave him a grin of his own, knowing full well that was a lie. Brom cared far more than he ever wanted anyone to know, the sentimental old bastard. 

The old Rider gave his former ward a going over with his pipe clamped in his teeth. He tugged her sleeves straight and smoothed the lines of her shoulders, yanked the wrinkles out of the formal jacket by the hem. 

“Right. You pass.” His voice was gruff, but there was a certain warmth there. In a move only Glen or Brom could pull off, the man patted Arya’s cheek twice before he clasped her face in his hands. The gedwëy ignasia was rough and warm against her skin, tingling with everpresent magic despite his dragon’s passing. “You did everything you could and more, you hear me? Whatever those high and mighty idiots in there say, you’ve got nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of. Understood?” 

Arya searched his face, the determination and buried worry etched into his skin above wild eyebrows and piercing blue eyes. The support she found meant multitudes, the support he had always shown, even when his rage and revenge was all he had in the world. She swore she’d never tell him, but despite the teasing they shared now, the arguments, the sometimes heavy handed tactics to try and prepare her for the world outside Du Weldenvarden…he had been more of a father to her than anyone. 

So of course there was only one response.

Brom felt the young elf just barely relax. She smiled at him, beaming, that little spitfire elfling again being reminded of her worth, of all the things she could do in the world. “Yes’sir. Understood.”

“Good girl.” The Rider released her and stepped back, giving her one last onceover. “Give them hell. I’m late for Oromis and Glaedr’s remedial lessons, or whatever you call them.” 

“Don’t pull a muscle, old man!” Arya called after his retreating back, getting an annoyed grunt in response. 

Glen checked the watch on his wrist as Arya’s smile faded. Two minutes. “You ready?”

The woman sucked in a breath and held it as she snapped to the familiar bearing of Attention, dropping into At Ease for a brief moment before letting the air out in a rush. “No. But it’s not like I can prepare for this bullshit.”

“I’ll be right here. Just yell and I’ll be in there in a heartbeat. Less, even.” Thirty seconds. Glen pulled his commander into one last quick hug before he smoothed out her uniform again. “Verrunsmal äthr.” 

Arya pushed her forehead against his and gave him a firm punch to the upper chest. “Verrunsmal äthr.” 

Then she turned, straightened with another steadying breath, and entered the great hall.

[modern-inheritance]

THIS.

Okay, I haven't done much with it. At all, really.

But THIS is Brom.

Brom loves his son. He spent all of Eragon's life watching other people raise him. Sure, he helped out in MIC by babysitting when he was too small to help in the fields, always had his door open for Eragon to come and ask questions or just talk, he put wards on the kid even, though he had to scale those back dramatically to just ones that protected his internal organs and major arteries/veins so that it wouldn't be suspicious as to why this lil guy was injury resistant.

But he never really...hands on'd? I mean he did, but....i donno there was just something missing.

He treats Eragon just as he treats everyone else in his life, and he does this mainly to try and hide the whole 'I'm actually your biological father.' bit. He knows he doesn't really know how to 'dad' and feels like he missed so much, feels like he missed the times where he could have actually done any of the 'parenting' and that Eragon is practically a young man when he finally gets his chance.

But eventually...eventually he figures out that he doesn't just have to regulate his 'parenting moments' to wisdom passed down, to sparring, to magic instruction. All the 'big kid' things, just the training.

He figures out he can rip it up into little pieces. Little moments. After months of him and Eragon navigating their changed relationship after he reveals it to him at the end of MIC!Eldest, Brom starts to do little things. He eases into it. It's little stories or comments of what he remembers of Selena. Telling Eragon of all the things he noticed over the years as he grew.

And he tells him, every day: "I'm proud of you, boy."

Kestrel-dad not sure how to dad but he’s trying his best.

[weirdponytail]

Modern Inheritance!Brom realizing he’s pretty much babysitting his naive, dorkyass son with a back problem, an elf with a mixed bag of trauma and early 20s spirit, and a dragon with newly discovered pyromania and way too much sass:

“Arya, go the FUCK to sleep. It’s 3:47 in the morning and nO YOU CAN’T TAKE THE SORBET TO BED I DON’T CARE IF IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS BESIDES ALCOHOL!”

“Eragon, there is a very CLEAR difference between ‘romantic interest’ and ‘political manipulation’ and only ONE of those involves snake charming a bracelet. .... No, it is NOT THE ROMANCE OPTION!”

“SAPHIRA WHY IS MY CLOSET ON FIRE?!”

[what-the-floofin]

 Aboleths are the worst creatures in existence

[cf8wrk4u-us]

A TF Rescue Bots AU where Cody accidentally gets a Scraplet as a pet. The reactions of the bots and the team when Cody doesn't want to abandon his new little friend.

That be an interesting scenario!

Like if in the episode Scarpheap one of the scraplets is stuck in the groundbridge and ends up in Griffin Rock. There found by Cody who thinks he's the coolest and cutest thing ever. And brings him home in hopes that he'll have better luck convincing his dad to let him have a pet robot.

While the robot is a surprise the Burns family along with Franki and Dr. Green are becoming quite taken with it. Even Chief Burns finds it pretty friendly, agreeing it be wise to keep it around just to see what it was.

Heatwave, Bolder, Chase, and Blades come out to see what the excitement was about. Cody explains that he found a robot that his dad will let him keep as a pet.

Boulder is excited to see what it was but his face turns to horror as he looks at the thing in Cody's arms. All the bots scream, Blades jumping into Boulders arms, Heatwave pointing his water blaster at it, and Chase surprisingly giving the loudest scream of all.

The human are shocked and ask the bots what's wrong.

"Where did you get that thing"! Screamed Blades.

"Drop it quick"! growled Heatwave

" I thought earth didn't have scraplets"! Cried Blades "I was so sure"!

Chase is the only one who calms down enough to explain what a scraplet is and why there so dangerous to Cybertronians. Cody is worried but Kade and Dani are skeptical.

That is until the it wakes up.

Opening its razor teeth it immediately goes for the bots, everyone runs off scared but Heatwave who tries to blast it way. But it's too quick and begins knawing at his leg sending the giant fire truck to his knees, howling.

Kade is quick to act, grabbing a brom and knocking it away from his partner. The scraplet is determined still and start running after the rest of the bots. A hilarious chase scene ensues, with the bots running from the scraplet, the scraplet chasing the bots, and the human chasing the scraplet.

Finally it's Cody who has the bright idea to use his jacket to catch the scraplet and net him into the cloth.

Everyone is relieved with Kade going up to bash it but Cody stops him, begging everyone not to hurt them. Everyone is surprised but Cody continues that maybe there was a way to teach the scraplet not to attack the Autobots. That maybe there was a chance to reprogram them to stop being so aggressive. That the scraplet is just following the program given to it and it's not is fault.

Chief Burns is against it, that they saw what one scraplet could do to a bot and it was irresponsible to have something so dangerous close to the bots. But Cody then ask that maybe they can have the scraplet stored with Dr. Green.

Though Dr. Green is willing but Graham is quick to point out that his inventions could be put at risk.

There's a lot of argument and back and forth going around. But Chief Burns gives one last look to Cody's determined eyes and sighs. He gives Dr Green a week to get the scraplet under control but if it where to escape and hurt the bots in anyway then. Cody is grateful but everyone is kind of upset over this decision.

The bots are feeling pretty betrayed at first, especially Heatwave. Cody saw what that thing did but he still chose to defend it?!

The week goes by and things are tense. Heatwave avoids Cody and spend his time quietly growling at the absurdity of it all. Kade is just as mad and constantly tells Cody it's a bad idea.

Blades lives in fear and is always looking over his shoulder sure that the scraplet escaped and is coming after him. Leaving Dani frustrated and blaming Cody telling him the bots will never have peace of mind till Cody agrees to get rid of it.

Chase is passive aggressively telling Chief Burns all the regulations regarding scraplet from back on Cybertron. Trying to convince the Chief to talk more sense to Cody and get him to destroy the scraplet.

The only people who are not openly hostile to Cody over the scraplet are his dad, Dr. Greenr, Graham, and surprisingly Boulder.

Chief Burns is a man of his word, and while he can't agree of housing the scraplet because it's a creature that put his teammates at risk he thinks Cody needs to learn to solve this problem on his own and learn to let go of a creature that brings more harm than good.

The engineer and scientist are eager to study a native species from an aliens planet.

Boulder who is still afraid of scraplets think Cody's idea could bring merit. It's wrong to destroy a creature because it was just following its nature. And if they could find a way to reprogram this scraplet than they could apply that technology to all scraplet. Which would greatly help all of Cybertron.

When the scraplet is finally reprogrammed the team is still nervous but it. But overtime they let them.

PoR JP/EN script differences overview: (Part 3) ch #10 - ch #11

→ Main Index — Begin reading here ←

Chapter 10.

1) Ranulf explains the use of "human", so a note on that. As a curseword, "Human" = ニンゲン (ningen), it is phonetically the same as the normal "human" but written in kana to stand out. However, "sub-human" is originally "Half-beast" = 半獣 (hanju). That explains why Ike initially doesn't consider it an offensive term, which is fairly impossible in the translation.

2) Narrative introduction again implies that Crimea is still having a dependent position to Begnion, while the localisation adds a lot of words to say that they are currently independent.

JP: The support of the suzerain Begnion was absolutely essential for the rebirth of the Kingdom of Crimea, which had been born as a domain of the Empire.

3) Meeting Volke. Where the original is reasonable, the localisation confuses measures of time to a great effect.

EN!Volke: Stop into any tavern along your way. Tell the barkeep you've need of a fireman. You'll see me within an hour.

JP!Volke: Any tavern in a little town will do. Just tell the owner, 'I need a fireman'. I'll be there within a week.

Volke himself indeed comes off as abrupt and rude to the point where even Soren calls him rude.

4) Kieran is mostly the same person. He is slightly less wordy, like for instance he isn't describing torture to Brom, but his attitude is accurate.

Chapter 11.

A lot of subtle foreshadowing is going on here… or should have been going on.

1) A little worldbuilding note. It's not super important, but we are introduced to the concept of Kingdom of Crimea being non-monolithic and the possibility of internal conflict, even if it's not happening until RD.

EN!Soren: Perhaps this is due to the temperament of its rulers, but the country hasn't seen serious warfare for centuries.

JP!Soren: Perhaps it is because of the gentle temperament of the royal family that there are few conflicts between territories, and there have been no major — country-wide — wars for hundreds of years.

2) Talking about Soren right after he gives the famous "no sympathy" speech (which is translated very well).

EN!Titania: Soren's a very empathetic young man. The emotions of this place may have proven to be too much for him.

EN!Ranulf: Ignoring impending doom because you cannot prevent it... Fatalism is by nature a disheartening beast. Well, for all those born with nothing, there are those born with everything. Perhaps those who never notice the difference are the ones we should envy.

Some really weird choices here that seem to fit badly with the rest of the script. What is actually happening?

First, Titania has the role of implying Soren's non-beorc perceptiveness.

JP!Titania: …Senerio is a sensitive kid, so he can't stand this kind of atmosphere, right?

After that, Ranulf, in fact, continues talking about him being Branded. When you know that the Branded are considered "born without a blessing", everything he says becomes clear.

JP!Ranulf: Sometimes, even if we know something we pretend not to know, because we can't do anything about it…… I wonder if those who were born without a blessing are envious that those who were born blessed live their lives without realising it?

Ike: What's that supposed to mean?

Ranulf: Oh, I was talking to myself. Pay me no mind.

And now it becomes natural that Ranulf doesn't want to explain anything to Ike, since he sort of "pretends not to know" as well.

3) Brom ☆

Small, but strange choices erase the foreshadowing that he is a dad to Meg and give him parents instead.

EN!Brom: We never had much money, so my parents gathered some stones from our farm back home and put them in this leather pouch. It's not much to look at, but it means a lot to me. Every day, I take them out and talk to them like they're my family.

"How is everyone?" "I'm out here doing the best I can." "Don't worry. I'll be home soon."

JP!Brom: We're poor, so I have a worn-out pouch full of pebbles that each of us picked up... That's all. But for me, it's very important. I take it out and talk to them every day.

"How is everyone?" "Dad is doing his best here." "I'm gonna make it back alive."

4) Ranulf talking about Nasir.

EN!Ranulf: You'll be met there by a man with a dusky pallor.

JP!Ranulf: There's a dark-skinned man called Nasir waiting for you with a boat.

The unfortunate word choice makes him say that Nasir is sickly greyish in complexion instead of merely dark-skinned. Again, it's not super important, but really baffling…

50 Thoughts I Had While Watching Eragon (2006)

*Grabs popcorn, pillows and blankets and is all comfy.*

1. Ah, yes. The one man’s voice that everyone wishes they had besides Morgan Freeman’s and James Earl Jones’. 

2. Galbatorix? Sounds like a cough medicine, or some weird flavour of soup. Thanks Nostalgia Critic

3. Well, at least Rumple’s still got his magic, though and instead of the dagger - Man, that guy needs a good ol’ manicure. And probably a haircut.

4. Eragon reminds me of a young and British Luke Skywalker. 

5. “The king's strip. The best cut there is. The fat just melts into the meat.” An actual quote by a passionate butcher. 

6. I've only known Brom for a day and a half, but if anything happens to him....

7. Two boys get into a fake sword fight and proceed to wrestle like kids. How cute. 

8. And you never see Roran again. 

9. OH, SWEET HOLY COW! THE STONE IS HATCHING! Be cool, be cool!  

10. *jumps back* Woah! Durza! Gimme a headphone warning next time you decide to scream at the top of your lungs like that! Jeez! I had it on full blast. 

11. “I swear to everything on this green earth, I would pay Jeremy Irons to read my grocery lists!” Totally not me. 

12. Rachel Weisz is Saphira? I KNEW her voice was familiar. *squeals* 

13. Eragon, let me explain something to you: You can’t just sneak into people’s houses, it’s not just bad manners, it’s COMMON SENSE, DUDE! 

14. I know you’re mad at Saphira because you couldn’t save your uncle, but if she’d allowed you to warn him, you would be dead and so would she, then the movie would have been a whole lot shorter. 

15. No time to say goodbye, you have to leave with the dragon man now. 

16. There’s no need to get defensive. How was Brom supposed to know that you were seventeen? You look twelve! 

17. Aww, is Dad embarrassing you, Eragon? Then you should have known better than to challenge him. 

18. Now we know who started the fire. Not Ryan

19. Angela’s pretty and I would love to have my fortune told, but Eragon, don’t you do ANYTHING you’re told?! It’s like we constantly have to keep an eye on you. 

20. Ooh! We’re learning some words in the Ancient language now? Cool! *brandishes pencil and misspells every word*

21. Wait, we’re flying again? I mean, sure, I almost died the last time, but why not? 

22. When did he have time to make a saddle? They’ve been traveling all this way. Magic, I guess? 

23. Makes sense why the man is so protective of you and Saphira. He was a Dragon Rider! 

24. Morzan? That’s a better name than I could ever come up with. 

25. “Congratulations. You've just been promoted.” An actual quote by Durza who should just do the work himself instead of relying on these dunderheads.

26. Sweet Dreams are made of these! Who am I to....

27. “Help me Eragon, you’re my only hope.” ~ Arya, probably. 

28. He came all this way and now you’re turning him away? Don’t you wanna get away from the crazy psycho who watches you while you sleep? 

29. Wait, how did Brom get here so quickly? His dad instincts must be kicking in because that’s real speed, I tell ya. 

30. THIS IS WHY I DON’T GET ATTACHED TO CHARACTERS. THEY ALWAYS DIE!!! 

31. Actual footage of admin when Saphira carries Brom over the mountain and there’s a ghost of a smile on his face as he takes his final breath: 

32. Oh, yeah. In case we forgot, Arya’s been poisoned by Durza’s magical demon nails. It’s too bad there isn’t someone who can lead you to the Varden. 

33. There is no way that this boy was in Tron and in that Pan movie with Hugh Jackman. PUBERTY HIT HIM LIKE A FLIPPING ASTEROID! Cue Murtagh simping hours.

35. Look at that Djimon Hounsou in another dragon movie. Except this time, he’s a good guy. 

36. Of course he’s Morzan’s son. No one can be 100 percent good and be that good looking. 

37. “You wanna know how I got this scar?” ~ Murtagh, maybe. But sweet precious boy, what did he do to you? 

38. “Tonight, we destroy the resistance.” Okay, Palpatine - I mean Durza. 

39. So Nasuada gets only thirty seconds of screen time? Does anyone else feel robbed besides me? Yeah? (Added after reading the books.) 

40. Arya’s healed nicely and now she’s ready to kick some butt! 

41. How come I’m only finding out now that Durza has a dragon, too? Or...no, it’s made of dust or something. 

42. My mans is still in jail? While all of this is going on? Guys, let him outta there. You can always put him back afterwards. 

43. NO, PLEASE DON’T LET SAPHIRA DIE. I SWEAR MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT! AND SHE’S BEING SO SWEET, TOO! *sobbing increases*

45. Ah, waking up after a severe injury/concussion with Murtagh leaning over me? Sounds like my kind of morning. 

46. YAY! SHE’S OKAY. I AM SO HAPPY. 

47. Yes, Eragon, Brom, your father would be proud of you. *sniffles* 

48. Where’s Arya going? I thought they were gonna be together forever. Guess not, eh? She is a princess after all.  

49. Okay, I am convinced. Lemme go and read the-WAIT! THE KING HAS A DRAGON, TOO? IS THERE GONNA BE A SEQUEL? AHAHAHDBABDB

50.  Keeeeep Holding onnnnnn! I don’t know why they put an Avril Lavigne song in here, but I am not complaining. 

The End. This took me an hour or so to write, but it’s worth it. Also, I’m sorry if it’s so long, I’ve had a lot of thoughts.
