The Eragon Iceberg
Dec. 12th, 2025 03:59 pmPaolini just retwitted this (along with a bunch of clips of him "duelling" other white men at the Dragonsteel con like the mature adults they are) and well, this is why I keep calling his fans a bunch of idiots.
"Eat the path" is just SOOO deep, you guys. And there are totally multiple languages and shit! You know what, I don't have the energy to go to town on it right now.

UPDATE: Even worse: it was his idea. He suggested someone do this, then MOCKED them when they did.

Dec. 8th, 2025 10:02 am Well, here we are at last. The penultimate chapter. Only one more after this. This is the chapter where the author decides to tie up a few loose ends into neat little bows and basically give incredible detail as to why her "heroes" are actually villains. Because who else would keep an entire city hostage but bad guys?
It's also very, very short. Because the author wanted to drag things out, I guess.

Spinosaurus Chapter 13
Dec. 3rd, 2025 04:26 pmMy cat keeps totally non-suspiciously eying the slice of pizza I have on my plate. She has better taste than I do, seeing as I keep coming back to this book.

The World of the Others Commentary
Dec. 1st, 2025 09:21 am Now the story starts winding down, with all the loose ends being tied up in neat little bows. There's more holier-than-thou behavior from the author's darlings, Meg gets babied even more, Simon continues to act like a creep, and Meg also proves that she doesn't care about anyone outside herself and what she wants. This chapter is also comparatively shorter than the previous, mostly because the author doesn't feel like long chapters deserve to be a thing now and she needs to drag this out a little more. The annoying perspective changes are still present, though.
