I Think The Reason So Many LOTR Ripoffs Fail Is Because They Make Their Aragorn Analogue The Main Character,

There is a small but important scene right at the end of eldest, where Angela has just come back from poisoning the army and Eragon and Orik spot her and go to ask her what’s going on. The important bit happens here, Nasuada shows up to tell Eragon and Orik that yes Angela was acting under her orders, and after a brief chat, tells Eragon that she has chosen him as her successor as the leader of the Varden. It’s a big deal for both of them. But the detail I love in this scene is that Nasuada shows up guarded by 4 Urgals, including Nar Gharzvog, who had only joined the varden a few hours before, which most of the varden are angry about. While I think the text says that she’s dressed for battle a few pages earlier, whenever I picture Nasuada I always see her in a luxurious dress, and the picture in my mind of Nasuada stood calm and composed, looking incredibly beautiful, surrounded by a squad of urgals under the dim moonlight is one I have thought about for years. I’m still learning to draw, it’ll be years before I can replicate the image in my head, but this one scene speaks to Nasuada’s character so well, and I can’t wait for the day I can finally replicate it.

You pretend to be a small-time villain. At most, you annoy the local supers, but your crimes never hurt anyone. To you it's all good fun. Things change when a truly sadistic supervillain invades your turf and murders a few of the supers. No one has seen the extent of your true powers until now.

saw a cute pic and immediately started to redraw with them ( ended up spending way too much time on this I don’t know if I like the style I went with ) 🫠🩷

your inherent belief that a person who made a single mistake can never fully recover is very catholic of you

Merry, to Frodo, lying face-down on bed, regretting being alive: And then I called him dad.

Boromir, to Aragorn, sobbing: And then he called me dad.
