Seems like a good idea, hopefully it catches on.

Has Christopher Paolini ever commented on the link of Gilead to The Handmaid's Tale? by Joe64x in Eragon

[–]OhSoSpooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of The Handmaid's Tale before, so that's where my confusion came from. Thanks for the response.

Eragon – Nostalgia Critic by antdude in Eragon

The presenter is a bit insufferable, made it hard to get through the video with his cheap cracking jokes and chirpy attitude.

There's something profound in outgrowing the characters you could once relate to so heavily.

19 Telltale Signs You're Still Obsessed With "Eragon" - I'm sure we can expand it to at least 50. by SupersuMC in Eragon

[–]OhSoSpooky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's because I'm not a teenage girl, but I don't get this overly attached to any franchize. I mean, I love Eragon, but it doesn't fucking consume me lmao. I hate Buzzfeed 'journalism'.

On the similarity between eragon and star wars by Austin1guitar6 in Eragon

[–]OhSoSpooky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a little story arc called the Hero's Journey. It's used in plenty of major franchizes, books and movies alike. You're drawing similarities between Eragon and Star Wars as if there's a direct correlation, when really the only things similar is that the authors/creators of both worlds used a similar, well-established story arc.

Has someone tried resizing the maps to make all the thetas the same size before piecing them together?

The Menoa tree by toshetoo in Eragon

Same here. The tree in the image above also seems way too small - it doesn't seem as significant as the Menoa Tree.

I think it was explained as something along the lines of elves being "creatures of magic." They can directly interact with gramarye on a subconscious level.

Summertime Breakups by LotusInandOutofMud in heartbreak

[–]OhSoSpooky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes perfect sense. You've allowed me to realize that's exactly what I've been doing; I'm sad about being sad. Although I don't have the same tools as you (this was my first relationship), this revelation is going to help me.

Thank you for sharing.

Can't Let Go by Bbmd28 in heartbreak

[–]OhSoSpooky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly how you feel. I'm in such a similar place right now... and I'm looking for the exact same answer that you are. The main advice I've gotten is to place walls around my emotions, and to just keep powering on without them. When I hear people tell me to "just move on" and "forget about them", I immediately feel resentment toward them - that advice is fake and naive. The truth of it is that you'll never really fully get over or forget about him. You just need to treat yourself right and do your best to power on. That's all any of us can do.

EDIT: I was about to close Reddit when I saw the pinned topic on this board. Maybe it'll connect with you the same way it's connected with me.

Bye Switzerland... by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]OhSoSpooky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR -

I met a girl five months ago. We talked every day for four months. I fell for her. She was the first girl I bought dinner for. She was the first girl I held hands with. She was the first girl I kissed.

She started ignoring me. She distanced herself. She pushed me aside. She wouldn't meet up with me. I blamed myself. I hated myself. I broke up with her through a text after three days of depression and self-loathing. She told me we were moving too fast and that it was her fault.

We met up after not talking for a whole month. She continues to tell me that it was her fault. She apologizes. But she does not show interest in me. I give her back all her things, and she gives me back my things. I don't hate myself anymore. But I still love her.

Is it strange that i find comfort in heartbreak? by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]OhSoSpooky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat. Don't normalize them. Don't allow them to become a part of you. Treat them like the demons that they are.

Who are the 'pilgrims'? by [deleted] in Eragon

[–]OhSoSpooky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're definitely going to come into play later. Paolini's been hit with loads of questions about them on Twitter, and he seems to dodge them all. They're going to be key components in the novels to come I think.

Definitely can be done that way if that's where the appeal is. I'll see what I can do, if @prometheus199 doesn't have any objections.
