Been drawing some of my friends characters as Oromi—my original alien species!💜

( @peach-crem, @mindartdraws, and @cleevitus!)

Husk.

made a husky character, ask me anything

I think Eragon needs an ant farm :D

[akasika]

Oromis and Glaedr are my faves from Eragon fandom BUT it's so hard to design them! My hands can feel only Warcraft elves. Does somebody has any ideas....

[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.

Are you kidding me. Poor Eragon!

Making him train to a point he has 4-5 flares everyday! And it's not just pain, he's straight up convulsing on the floor!

He has memory gaps, can't focus, nothing! Because of it! "I might lose myself" oh poor poor boy

Eragon on the floor after having 3 flares while fighting and 2 more while performing Rimgar... and all Oromis tells him is "Do it again". Come on

Also do not like Oromis poisoning Eragon's food and letting him go hungry when he isn't sure if it's poisoned or can't neutralize the poison. Gosh

[polunocnajasonja]

Still miss him 😭

[dia-viller]

Eragon is 18 years old, and he has been the first Rider since the Rider's war. Eragon was also the only one to have a "proper" education and training for a rider. He has known that after war, he will be the one to find a place for rebuilding the dragon race and eventually be the new leader of Riders.

He had to leave his family, home, friends, and even love in order to make things right because the dragons from eggs and Eldunari needed him. It was his duty, and he thought that he was the only one who must do all that for Academy and future generations, that it his responsibility, and if he makes a mistake, it will be only his fault.

Eragon knows that he should be a peacekeeper, to keep peace between other races. Eragon was only 15 when he had to fight, he was Varden's only hope to defeat Galbatorix. Everyone was relying on him, and it was a lot of pressure on him. After Nasuada was abducted, Eragon had to become a leader of Varden, and it was hard for him to deal with other leaders, maintain stability in the army, and find weapons that would help him kill Galbatorix.

After the war, he had to help Nasuada. He didn't have time for himself to understand what he wanted. His main goal was only to find a place for future Academy, he didn't even think about other options.

I wonder, has Eragon ever been jealous of Murtagh, because his brother was finally free, free to be, and do anything he wants. Has he ever regretted not going with them to the North?

Eragon probably thinks that eventually he will have time for himself and his own desires but only after many years, maybe even centuries. After everything is finally settled down, but before that he must sacrifice his own desires and needs.

Eldest, summarized:

Eragon: I am in pain

Oromis: Great! Now make it worse. Become a human pretzel.

[alagaesia-headcanons]

I will always be so sad and angry that Eragon never recognized how horribly the elves treated him and that no one else helped protect him from it either. Oromis is so insidiously and inexcusably cruel to him and Eragon truly deserved the chance to escape that and see the damage he caused, and also to then beat Oromis into a bloody pulp. And Glaedr too, honestly. He's mostly gone unscathed in my past rants, largely because at least his personality isn't so insufferable, but he ain't shit either. He's fully complicit in all of Oromis's vile abuse, and adds to it himself in certain places. They more than earn Eragon's ire, but they all constantly belittle him and insist that they inherently know better than him about everything, and poor Eragon believes them, so he doesn't fight back. No!!! Every misgiving you have about them is true, and not only should you stand your ground, but you should also start maiming them!!!!!

Oromis's mannerisms are respectful, kind, and gentle, but they in no way indicate his actual feelings. It just serves as a guise, while their actions demonstrate that both he and Glaedr don't have a single shred of respect for Eragon. They don't trust him, they don't put faith in him, they don't care about his wellbeing, and they have so much contempt for him. And they do all that while they take everything from Eragon, demanding he sacrifice himself constantly, and not always just in the interest of beating the Empire! In some cases it's solely an expression of their resentment of him or a way to cut away at the parts of him they don't like.

And Eragon gives them everything, so earnestly and generously. Then they give him jack shit. They only give him whatever suits their intention to use him as a weapon, and even in that, they pick and choose things to withhold according to their disdain for him. Contempt is all he gets in return for his trust and loyalty.

And it makes me sad how Saphira isn't there for him in this. In her defense, she's very young and they harm her also by prioritizing her utility to them over anything else, which she sadly does not recognize either. But beyond that, the elves and Oromis and Glaedr specifically treat her far, far better than they treat Eragon. She's in no way responsible for their actions, but there are places where she enables the abuse. Most often through overlooking it, but sometimes when Eragon rightfully balks at their mistreatment, then turns to Saphira for her input, she tells him, "I trust them and I think you should be deferring to them."

Eragon is so earnest and compassionate and he deserves care, both in the form of other people caring about his wellbeing, and also through the chance for him to learn how he can and should care for himself. Yet at the end of the series, he's so conditioned to accept manipulation and abuse and I just want my poor boy to have a chance to rest and HEAL 😭

What're Utut and Abubakar's fashion styles? What do they wear when off duty??

KADIATOU ABUBAKAR

Lt. Abubakar's sense of style draws heavily from Aisha Babayo Shehu's brand, Babayo, which embroiders Fulani cultural narratives onto modern designs. Her clothes are loose and comfortable. Triangles are often incorporated to reflect her Vulcan heritage. Kadiatou wears cowrie shell hair charms and bracelets.

UTUT LI'PELE NAKO

Ens. Nako's sense of style consists of revealing, form-fitting tops and flowy, feminine accessories. She wears natural materials from her home planet, Oistir, such as woven algae, ocean crop, and carved seashell. Nako's school is identified culturally by their simply weaved beige crop and Utut recreates the practice for her own clothes.

Thank you so much for asking about them!

[du-sailarar-nerilia]

It actually makes perfect sense that all known apprentices of Oromis and Glaedr were humans.

Oromis was about 17 years old when humans were included in the pact with dragons. He would have trained with the very first human Riders. Moreover, throughout most of his youth, Riders were not permitted in Du Weldenvarden (because Queen Dellanir was salty), so he would have spent time among the younger races whenever not with his fellow Riders.

What I'm trying to say is, him and Glaedr are familiar with humans, with their culture and issues they might have adapting to the Rider lifestyle, so it makes perfect sense they would be the ones to train human Riders later on.

Oromis Thrándurin 🤍

[cs-cabin-and-crew]

Very cracked Morzan AU

Listen, I get Morzan is supposed to be this big evil guy who’s unredeemable. And I do love him for that as a character.

However, with my math and the timeline, Morzan was a kid when Galbatorix took him, and used his true name and made him his apprentice.

And Oromis said Morzan always had a darkness in him. And is always talking smack about Morzan. but to me it was always weird small things pointed out. Like picking on Brom for doing weird superstition things that would get him picked on by anyone.

But what if Morzan was literally just a regular kid who was just getting in trouble with Brom a lot. And Oromis as an only child elf just didn’t get the sibling dynamics that they had going on.

So Morzan as the elder would also get in trouble when Brom did something wrong?

In all honesty, with Oromis as a character, that’s very much something he’d do. Especially with how he kinda bullied Eragon for being in pain. I’d go evil with him as my mentor too.

Just imagine this…

Morzan: *breathes*

Oromis: EVIL!

Morzan: this is why I try to kill you.

[eastern-lights]

Did we ever get an in-universe explanation as to why the dragons didn't heal Oromis as well?

The easiest answer would be that the spell required so much energy that they could only heal (1) one curse.

Now this is gonna sound cruel, but if that's the case, if they needed a weapon against Galbatorix, why on earth would they pick Eragon? Why bet on a hatchling that has barely proven himself in battle when someone who already is an experienced warrior, an insanely poweful magician and their friend is right there and dying?

Truly, why not heal them both? Saphira's diamond transmutation schenanigans have already shown that the normal rules of magic don't apply to dragons. If the Eldunarí gave it the idea, the reflection could manage it.

We would have had an Oromis who has to restrain himself to not just fly to Uru'baen and strangle Galbatorix, now that he is whole. Who perhaps feels guilty that he has been healed and Glaedr not. We could see just how much of his occasionally fickle temper has been due to his buried frustration at his disability and how much is just him.

And we would see an Oromis who still gets beaten and driven back by Murtagalbatorix because he fails to heed his own advice and lets his rage blind him.

It still would not be him and Glaedr who beat Galbatorix. They are too old and filled with righteous anger and they know too much about what he has done to even think of compassion when he's before them.

But compassion is exactly what is needed and that is why Eragon accomplishes what they never could. Only this time he does it not because he's the literal last Dragon Rider, but rather because of who he is.

We would have seen an Oromis who lives to see Eragon best him, and could not be prouder.
