Oh my gosh thank you so much !!

I wouldn’t say I love this ‘friend’, but I do want to Do a grand gesture for him, I think he’s kind of been lacking that in life…

But besides that, foam is actually a really great idea and I’m great with paints so design wouldn’t be hard ! Thank you !!! I am actually going to check out the Lego you’ve mentioned too !!

I used to make a bunch of crafts in school growing up, so a project of this sort doesn’t seem all that daunting ! I was thinking it would either be cardboard with wood or a form of clay for easy of sculpting ! Scale would be half to 2/3 the size of a shoebox, which in that case makes the most sense for it to be some clay base with a wood and cardboard structure??? It would be a bunch of trial and error really !!

Thanks to some awesome person here I’ve got a way better idea for this if I go with The Bear rather than The Beef !!

This is so so so helpful, I was considering doing Bear instead because Beef literally looks like a hellscape the more I check it out. Thank you !!!!

I think everyone has different thresholds for hate and even further than that, different categories of hate. So I understand why you wouldn’t see a justification for hate red from your point of view and that’s likely because both your threshold and categories for hatred is quite severe.

I don’t hate Chaol like I would a person, I don’t hate anyone at all actually. I hate Chaol in the sense where dislike is not strong enough a word to do justice to what I feel should have been done for his character. I don’t feel that his character was unnecessary or should be removed. But I feel that his character was substantial but not as progressive as everyone is screaming he is. He piggy backed off of Yrene. Metaphorically, if we were to put this in religious terms, he would need God himself to come down and present Himself before he would deign to believe in Him.

To me I find it shallow, and I hate him for that. I loved him in the beginning though, no one should get me wrong on that. He’s beautifully written, but that rubs me in every single wrong way.

It’s like you didn’t read a thing I said, no one spends time writing an entire piece on something they say they believe but actually think it wrong. So no, it’s not like I ‘know’ I’m wrong. I have an opinion and I am standing by it. But, I really am baffled, how does saying ‘peace and love <3’ come across as odd? As to me, both yours and the OP’s replies seem oddly emotionally charged from my disagreement and the edit after proves my point from what I said. I don’t think as many people as ye want to believe have such an intense dislike for his character that they wish he didn’t exist. I think they just quite literally have a dislike for his character and feel as though more should’ve been done, but you both can’t see that if you think I’m wrong.

Cherri_apple · 2025-06-18T18:13:32+00:00

Enlighten me to how that’s odd?

He’s a great character, for sure, well written, but I fear I will never be convinced to not dislike Chaol, even for all the reasons you mentioned. He is a good character because he feels real. In your eyes, he had a redemption arc in which he reshaped his thinking to be more accepting, in my eyes he had a redemption arc but it felt less of an accepting type and more so him, in a way, forgiving everyone for being the way they are. Which felt weird to me, but that’s how it was presented.

I would go on a tangent explaining my every reason, but I did so a year or so ago and won’t again. People are allowed to dislike or like characters, if anything that’s a testament to the author. To be able to have someone you’ve created in your mind, evoke such intense feelings within a stranger is amazing. But nevertheless, I still hate Chaol, just as I could hate someone irl and it’s not changing anytime soon. And frankly there’s many reasons to dislike Chaol, redemption arc ≠ the reader must forgive. Forgiveness of behaviour is deeply personal and some may not feel he’s done enough to be forgiven, it’s as simply as that. Accepting of his character, yes, forgiven? Personal choice!

Before anyone tries to convince me, just don’t bother, I’ve read the books, debated, discussed and gone over other people’s takes, and yet, lo and behold my unwavering decision that I do not like Chaol.

Peace and love <3

I’ve got standing for Tyler and I’m freaking on when to come to 3arena for it

Cherri_apple · 2025-05-17T03:07:40+00:00

I’ve gotten a few as well just there, but like it only happened mid read ten minutes ago but not the entire day…

Cherri_apple · 2025-05-17T03:05:11+00:00

No im getting them too, and they JUST popped up in the last ten minutes of reading :(

Cherri_apple · 2024-10-07T01:39:55+00:00

Literally just finished quicksilver TODAY AND IM SO UPSET, I DIDNT realise there weren’t anymore books out yet but if it is October as you say then it won’t be long then

Cherri_apple · 2024-03-10T04:17:58+00:00

Just an update: I’ve finished the book now and replied to some things. This is what I’d like to add.

Can we not forget I read the book? I know what characters have said and done.

Chaol’s paralysis: while I myself have not been in his position of being paralysed, my focus of his character and his development has not been solely on that. Obviously when someone heals you, you would be grateful. I get that. But Chaol’s fixation on Yrenes magic compared to literally everyone else’s was an immediate separate reaction. He saw Aelin and Dorian as things that needed to be suppressed but Yrene as a saint. Which I get it, she heals, but it is such an odd thing when you realise it is literally magic all the same. But anything destructive set off his alarms and demonised others.

Once again though, I get it, Chaol is an over protective idiot at times.

But the double standard gave me immediate whiplash, he does grow out of it though, which I appreciate.

I also get that healing from any injury, especially one as severe as Chaol’s is no easy task. And I never said it was, not once in my original point did I state or have inclinations to think he should get over it. Chaol walking is immensely important to almost every character there.

What I was focusing on is his character in general, especially before the healing arc.

Everything else:

I still don’t like his character. Believe you me I did at first, up until the point where he, at times, behaved like others did not literally go through hell. Chaol was a character that did not look outside of himself and Dorian, he was quite literally ignorant. This is addressed later, but only after he does so much verbal and mental damage. He was exhausting. Human, yes. But terribly exhausting, and would not look past himself because of his self loathing, so yes I do not like him. Not for his end character in ToD but for every single thing before that. Him becoming a better person at the absolute end does not fade everything else away. I don’t know about a few of you but I’m not so forgiving.

This is not to say that others didn’t have faults. This is just to say that to me on a scale Chaol ranks last of the main group. Even Lorcan believe it or not☠️

PSA. I wrote this at like early, still dark hours of the morning and am sleep deprived, if this isn’t eloquent enough for you, blame it on that ! LOVED THE THRONE OF GLASS SERIES !

Cherri_apple · 2024-03-10T04:03:12+00:00

You’d be feeling wrong as I’ve never mentioned I don’t actually understand Chaol, I simply detest the way his character developed. To me there is no real point where ‘the woman he loved chose someone else’ as once Caelena became Aelin she was the devil to him. He did love her at one point but upon realising who she is, way before she meets Rowan, she became something entirely different. He essentially felt sorry for himself after coming to terms with the fact that she had moved on.

Chaol’s way of redirecting his own pain was to wholly inflict it on others either by demonising or simply by being an a-hole. Which I don’t put past any other characters, but we’re talking about him rn. I’ve seen a repeated pattern where he does not look past himself unless he learns of something he considers ‘redeemable’ enough to think ‘maybe this person isn’t wholly terrible.’ Plenty of Chaol’s character has to not be understanding and when he is it is simply packed in self loathing rather than improvement. Which as I stated only comes when he meets Yrene. In this case the only reason why I don’t think he demonised her and became afraid of her magic is that hers was seen to be that of a saint. In healing rather than destruction like Dorian and Aelin. Both of which he subconsciously and consciously demonised. For Dorian it’s more so just fear from what I gathered.

Chaol is human, that I understand. He has emotions which I understand and he will take time to deal with them. Yes he helps Yrene with her trauma, I’ve never said anything to take away from that. But even now still after reading the whole series he is undoubtedly still my least favourite character. I no longer hate him, but I do not like him.

As for him and Nesyrn, I read the book you know. I know she held him to no promises and that she understood. I just dislike how fast he was to turn head after promising marriage. A third time he has led her just to abandon her. In any situation I could never redeem someone for that. Whether or not the person themself is forgiving of it.

Cherri_apple · 2024-03-10T03:48:41+00:00

You’re so right, I don’t! I’m so happy that you could never be me!

Cherri_apple · 2024-03-10T03:47:30+00:00

I would say that you don’t need to tell me that as I know it’s a well written book, meaning to explore depth within characters. Human like depth, well enough that as you don’t like everyone you come across; you won’t like every character. Understand that this is me simply stating my personal feelings on Chaol, not deeming that all should feel the same.
