I like the idea of Viktor being one of those aces that make nsfw jokes/remarks when least expected.

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.

At the culmination of their magical career, each wizard is told to look deep into their heart and develop a personal spell, a spell only they know that truly reflects who they are on the inside, all their virtues and vices incarnate as magic.
It's always Fireball. The wizard schools live in fear of their apprentices figuring it out.
‘But you are a dwarf, and dwarves are strange folk. I do not like this place, and I shall like it no more by the light of the day. But you comfort me, Gimli, and I am glad to have you standing nigh with your stout legs and your hard axe.’
I think this was Legolas trying to flirt with Gimli and I think it’s working.
im right and we all know it
I never read the hobbit, but I HAVE read lotr and the silmarillion, but I just learned that the battle of the five armies, that part they made a WHOLE movie out of, is only 1 page in the book because bilbo gets hit by a rock and wakes up when it’s over. 10/10 no notes, that should have been the movie too
