#firnen inheritance cycle

[everythingloveandanimated]

Inheritance Cycle readers… I am in need of discussion.

What are some of your predictions for the next installments?

Events that will happen in character arcs?

How will some relationships develop? Romantic and platonic. (what character drama are you eagerly awaiting with a bucket of popcorn on your lap?)

Events and adventures that you want to see in the plot?

I'm realizing I never posted any of my cartoony designs of the dragons, as they're pretty old, but this is a draft reference page for Saphira and Firnen's designs. Thorn is below!

Saphira is described as very gifted at flying in the books, so I wanted to make her aerodynamic/lethal looking. Firnen on the other hand is still pretty young, so he's a small lad for now.

Also, a very old Thorn piece. I love him dearly. I have his tail as turning black at the end, where Galby had forcibly regrown it after his battle with Glaedr.

I just realized that Eragon is always the third wheel

In the mood to chat, so tell me your deep thoughts about anything Murtagh or Inheritance Cycle related: GO.

How would the IC characters react to being forced to put on a face mask and get their nails painted?

Wrote this entire thing and then my browser froze and deleted it lmao. sorry this took so long. Great ask!

ERAGON: Is confused, but as long as it makes you happy.

ARYA: *yowling cat noises*

OROMIS: Refuses to answer straightforwardly how he feels about this and is talking in circles.

MORZAN: Already secretly paints his nails goth black but would still stab you if you tried it.

MURTAGH: Drops his head dramatically on the table with a loud “UGHHHH” but lets you do it anyway.

NASUADA: *hesitant* “…Fine, but only if it’s red.” *points at EXTREMELY specific red-wine-maroon mail polish you’ve never seen in your life.

GARROW: Would make Birka and Brugh interchangeably step on you.

RORAN: Could not care less as long as Ismira helps with the nails and he can do it with Katrina, or at least talk to her.

ISLANZADÍ: Would absolutely not allow it unless it was an obscenely dramatic glitter polish.

ALÍN: “GLITTER!!”

SAPHIRA: Only accepts if the nail polish color compliments her scales.

THORN: Watches quietly and starry-eyed as you take the time and care to make his talons look nice. He is smiling the whole time.

FÍRNEN: Fidgets and moves like a little kid the entire time because he is excited.

GLAEDR: *earthquake noises*

GARZHVOG: Will allow it if you listen to and share the stories of his people and share some of your own.

BLÖDHGARM: Will allow nail polish, forbids the face mask because fur and damp do not mix.

ORIK: “I’ll be a BEWTIFUL FECKIN’ PRENCESS, HVEDA, DON’T KNOCK ET TILL YEH TROY ET!”

UVEK: “Good color. Very strong.” His nails: 💅

On their way to a council meeting

[good-morzan-inheritance-cycle]

The dragons and what id think they sound like

Saphira: she purrs like a cat and coos. She has a very soft silvery voice when speaking in someone’s head, but on the outside she’s cooing or purring when she’s speaking. And when fighting or grumbling sounds more like an angry tiger.

Thorn: he kinda grumbles like a bunch of smooth stones rolling together in a constant rhythm, and has a slight hiss and serpentine sound when growling or making any sort of vocal noises. When speaking in someone’s head, I imagine a thick low Irish kinda tone as if it’s a 40 year old smoker who somehow didn’t damage their lungs enough to sound like death but still have that grumbling rasp that might fit a tavern singer that makes you rethink your life and not confessing to your first love.

Glaedr: he sounds like a large bovine, with a huffing kinda noise when making sounds. His growls are more what one might imagine from a bear or something. When speaking, he has a very smooth but scratchy voice at the same time. Like an old grandfather who’s dramatizing how he went to school up hill both ways.

Fírnen: he growls and whines like a big dog or a wolf. If he wasn’t a dragon he’d be barking at the mailman. His speaking voice is like a 20 year old who still hasn’t hit puberty just yet, so it’s deep enough where you go “oh, that’s not a child, that’s a man” but you still second guess yourself.

Morzan’s dragon (Ozias): whale noises. The coos, the song and the magic is all in his growl. Like his rider he got a smooth voice and is just majestical. His speaking voice after years of fighting off becoming a literal animal after losing his name is now soft and faded, but still holds that grand tone he used to have. Like an old opera singer on permanent vocal rest who can still hum a melody that can bring a tear to your eye.

Shurikan: clanking glass and medal, he makes no genuine sounds outside his hissing growls anymore. He’s too large and tired for it. But when moving he sounds like the chimes of a thousand swords clinking in a toast. Too harsh for a wineglass, but too gentle for true war. His speaking voice is slithery and slick, like oil melding with water as both are being poured.

*lowers face into hands*

Oh my fucking god.

Firnen doesn't do the 'Little Claw' bit until he's physically larger than Arya. But he does pick up on Arya's habit of nicknaming things, and he likes calling her a name that I haven't quite decided on yet but oh my fucking god guys

'Stripes.'

He calls her Stripes.

And the first time he does it Arya is shirtless, sitting next to him while trying to do the dishes in the creak and she freezes up for a split second like '...Excuse me?!'

And Firnen, doing little doggy/dragon paddles in the water, stops too and she can tell he's uneasy with her sudden pause and he's concerned he went too far.

But...

'I love it, Stringbean.' She reaches out and taps his snout very good natured-like, fucking beaming. 'Makes me own them. Reclaiming it. Thank you.'

Arya Drottingü!

This is the first collage that I've made using Shuffles since Landing shut down so please bear with me while I figure things out :) All of these pictures are from Pinterest and credits to the artist! I don't know who the artists are but if you are one of them and want me to tag you feel free to ask!

Okay I REALLY HATE that I’m thinking about this.

At some point in a future book, Murtagh and Thorn confront the Eldunarí for not intervening more in Murtagh’s life. The two come to the conclusion that Murtagh was written off and abandoned by them and by extension, Thorn was too for hatching for Murtagh. Neither of them are happy about this.

Eragon and Saphira, if feasible Arya and Firnen, are present when this goes down.

Saphira is frustrated because Murtagh played a big part in saving her, Eragon and Arya and went to the Varden even though it was dangerous for him. Arya and Eragon agree that it shows poor thanks for Murtagh’s help.

The Eldunarí defend themselves saying the wanted to see how alike Murtagh would be to Morzan. Murtagh all but demands to know what evidence, in full context of any given situation supports the assumption that he’s like his father.

His treason was forced, he’s shown regret at killing Hrothgar, he spared Eragon and Saphira at great cost to him and Thorn. He’s protected younglings, is willing to forge relationships with souls of other races. He has proven himself to be brave, noble, and a man of his word. He doesn’t delight in cruelty…

Thorn invites them to look into his soul and when they have, Thorn points out that he hatched for Murtagh, and is surprised, though does understand their distrust for Murtagh, that they aren’t willing to trust his judgement on Murtagh’s character through his hatching.

The Eldunarí say they couldn’t be sure. Anything could happen to make Murtagh into the ruthless monster that his father was.

Murtagh shares that he’s only ruthless against opponents who threaten or harm what is precious to him or what he deems as worthy of his protection. He, backed up by Eragon, then accuses them of writing him off and abandoning him to suffer in Galbatorix’s court because of things he didn’t do.

Things get heated and then the bomb is dropped. If Murtagh proved to be a threat the their safety and the future of the dragons and Riders, the Eldunarí would strip Thorn of his name.

Shock echoes around the room before anger explodes. Murtagh is LIVID!!! Thorn recoils in fear before baring his teeth but his bite has fear in it since he knows that act of the dragon’s can’t be undone. Saphira, Eragon and Arya take the Red Pair’s side. Calling the act uncalled for and cruel given what the two of them had been through.

Saphira and Arya scold the Eldunarí saying that their threat spits in the face of the lives that Murtagh has saved, including their own. They add that stripping Thorn of his name would irrevocably turn Murtagh against them. Saphira vows to protect her brethren from their callous cruelty.

Eragon is reeling that the Eldunarí would do something so cruel when the number of dragons and riders is already so small. They watched Murtagh and Thorn suffer, did nothing to save Murtagh from the Twins when they had done so much to aid Eragon. They gave Murtagh and Thorn a compliance test after Galbatorix was defeated. Failed to aid them against Bachel (if there was anything they could do in the first place). Now they threaten to banish the name of dragon who hatched when/because his chosen rider was a captive of their greatest foe?!?! (Beep) that!

Eragon puts his foot down at that.

Murtagh and Thorn, Arya and Saphira and Eragon are still fuming from the encounter. Underneath Murtagh’s rage is a fear that the Eldunarí could make good on their threat. Murtagh doesn’t know where their line is. He won’t attack them until they strike first, and even then he hopes he can overpower them before Thorn’s name is erased.

Eragon, Saphira and Arya are appalled and disappointed (and some level of ashamed and embarrassed?) by the Eldunarí. Arya points out that if Thorn’s name was erased and Murtagh attacked them, it would give them an excuse to eliminate Murtagh so they wouldn’t have to worry about him anymore. Privately, she questions the history of riders that she’s known her whole life

Eragon is seething that they would dare harm his family member like this… and then it dawns on him. They had to know Galbatorix would want Eragon in his clutches for being a free dragon rider. They had to have known what kind of forces he would send to Carvahall to retrieve him and Saphira. They had to have known… and they did nothing to protect what was precious to Eragon. Not his uncle and childhood home, not the people of Carvahall, not even Murtagh who needed protection far more than Eragon did. A sudden terrible realization hits him… if all of this is true they didn’t care about Roran either! Even worse… did Selena die because the Eldunarí didn’t want to run the risk of her secret being revealed and Eragon being found. Did they turn a blind eye to her when she got sick? Was it punishment for marrying Morzan and giving him a son even though she had ultimately sided with Brom and had borne Eragon?

It is acknowledged that it’s not outside the realm of possibility. This is too far for Eragon. The Eldunarí meddling to save themselves has cost him most of his family, his loved ones, the leaders he respected and has damaged the relationships with the family he still has.

Eragon breaks down and eventually comes to the conclusion that, like Murtagh before him, he can reclaim his life and autonomy.

As punishment, all the Eldunarí on display are placed in the pocket in the wall with the corrupted Eldunarí. Eragon decrees he will not bring them out until their brethren are healed. He changes the magic on the pocket so that the Eldunarí combined can’t escape. He deems it a lesson in caring for others.

That night Murtagh and Thorn flee. Through lingering panic, Murtagh asks Thorn to say his true name, which he does. Murtagh asks him to repeat it several times until Thorn says it like a mantra lulling Murtagh to sleep.

The green and blue pairs find the red pair.

Eragon apologizes to Murtagh and Thorn for initially siding with the Eldunarí, and that he couldn’t stop Murtagh from being taken by the Twins, and he’s sorry for leaving in the first place instead of waiting for them to return so they could clear their names together.

Arya apologizes for not being able to save Murtagh and thus condemning him and Thorn to months of grueling torment and slavery. She vows to make up for her failure.

The trio and their dragons agree that they need to find a way to undo the memory erasing spells and stripping of names spell of the Dragons. The blue and green pairs promise to do their best to protect Murtagh and Thorn and affirm Thorn’s value and choice in his rider.

Firnen. Wish he'd been a little more present in the story. Next friday, Shruikan.

Which IC characters think that Die Hard is a Christmas movie?

hehehehehAHAHAHAHA THIS. I WANT THIS.

MURTAGH: Says it is a Christmas movie because it takes place at Christmas.

ERAGON: (said as he cries while mixing cookie batter) “it’s a Christmas movie because everyone dies around my holidays too!” *distressed cry-laughing ensues* *weepy stirring*

NASUADA: Does not think it is a Christmas movie.

ARYA can go two ways: 1. is so absolutely enveloped in the film’s action, clutching a tub of popcorn to her chest, that she completely forgot it was even Christmas time in the movie. OR, 2. Is now crouching behind her couch in her apartment with a Christmas Glock, wide eyed and searching for snipers in that renaissance painting that she always knew looked her a little funny—

ISLANZADÍ: *intensely stroking Blagden while she tries to figure out what the F*CK her daughter’s been doing* *forgets what Christmas is*

OROMIS: has never seen Die Hard because he secretly watches chick flicks and only chick flicks

ORIK: “CHRISTMAS MOVIE TILL GÛNTERA’S BEARD ROTS IN THE PITS OF TANDOTHH!” *roars* *axe flies into wall* “WOO!”

GARZHVOG: Is wearing a Christmas hat and grinning at the screen, popcorn between his teeth as he watches the film. “HO HO HO—BOOM!”

ALÍN: *peering timidly around the corner to watch* “I don’t think I like this Christmas much…” does not want to go there for Christmas. Probably thinks this is a vacation ad.

RORAN: Absolutely thinks Die Hard is a Christmas movie and has PowerPoint slides to prove it. Katrina does not feel the same way but has given up.

GARROW: No

BROM: Yes.

SAPHIRA considers it the Christmas movie that all Christmas movies should aspire to be, FÍRNEN is shivering with sheer excitement, and THORN is worried about Murtagh’s cookie-baking little brother and will not watch the film because he does not like the violence.

UVEK: responding to everything like an bear if bears reacted to laser pointers the way cats do

[tired-fandom-ndn]

I think Arya should have horns or antlers eventually. Just as a little treat.
