Pennsylvania’s rising rock stars, ANOTHER DAY DAWNS, officially released their highly anticipated album, “Finding Peace Through All the Noise,” on October 6th.
The band, consisting of singer Dakota Sean, guitarist Tyler Ritter, bassist Jerome Betz, and drummer Nick McGeehan, has been making waves in the heavy rock scene, and their…
On days or nights like this, I like to take the time to reflect. I’d reflect on how my week’s been going, family, friends, how I can improve myself and so on. I also would remind myself that I woke up to another day for a reason and to be thankful for it. Not many people see it this way but waking up to another day…you never know when someone’s last day on this planet would be. For example, yesterday marked one year since my grandma passed away and it broke me. But I’ve also started a new habit where I’d wake up, thank God for a new day and get started. I’d be thankful for another day whether if it’s coke or hot, rainy or sunny and even if it’s noisy or quiet. I’d also remember to put a smile on my face and focus on the positives. That doesn’t meant I don’t miss my grandma, I really miss her a lot but I know that she’s still in my mind and heart wherever I go. Do yourselves a favor and create a new positive habit for yourself.
You guys don’t get it, they used to be the high 5 heroes. They used to be the high 5 heroes guys. They used to. They used to be starry eyed freshmen. They had to choose each other. They had to have awkward introductions. They had to pick that name together. I’m never okay ever.
Sometimes I just think about how Chaol had never even killed anyone before the competition, yet had trained his while life and trained others to do so. And how Dorian had never been raised to even consider the possibility of ending anyone else’s life, choosing to surround himself with books and life (much to his fathers dismay,) yet growing up to be someone who wouldn’t give it a second thought if anyone were to harm those he loves.
There’s something so heart wrenching to me how Chaol was the one who was meant to protect Dorian, but it ended up being the reverse. That was really all Chaol ever wanted. He devoted his life to protecting him at all costs and yet despite that, he had never taken another life until it was absolutely necessary, and even then it wasn’t easy for him. And then think about Dorian. Dorian who grew up learning stuffy court politics rather than war and bloodshed, standing up and protecting Chaol with his life. Without hesitation. Sacrificing himself and his freedom so that Chaol might have a chance to live.
It’s the complete 360 of their characters after QOS. Chaol was always meant to be the warrior, the protector yet he ended up being the most sympathetic and kind hearted leader. He ties his life to a healer he falls in love with. Dorian on the other hand, was always meant to be protected. And not just by Chaol, but by literally everyone. As seen with Aelin willing to sacrifice herself even though he just as easily could. And yet despite all that, and despite being coddled his whole life, he turned out to be one of the most daring, the most selfless characters we see. Dorian going from the crown prince who would never be seen hurting a fly to the “You once asked me where I stand on the line between killing to protect and killing for pleasure … I’ll stand on the other side of that line when I find your grandmother” and the “It is not such a hard thing, is it—to die for your friends.” King we see emerge from the rubble of his shattered home.
Chaol came out of the shattered glass castle as a broken, deeply scarred man, who found his healing in himself. Dorian came out of the glass castle as someone who was already piecing himself back together, into someone new. They both grow and heal and change, but it’s just so interesting, the vastly different paths they took. And how similar Chaol’s journey was to how we expected Dorian’s to be, and vice versa.
The protector, becoming the protectee. Such a hard hitting trope.
