#all who wander are not lost

[spiritualsidequest]

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Welcome to the Manda Loses His Shit Over The Wanderer Trailer

Okay okay so like, Kuni's past actually heavily parallel's Jeanne's in a sense and I am screaming and thriving.

So when Jeanne was a child, her house had been burned down, much like how Kuni had set ablaze the house the child he was friends with when he died. Jeanne, as an adult, burns down the remains of her childhood home when she finally breaks over many many years of repressing her emotions and how she truly felt about her own situation, much like how Kuni had snapped and burned the child's home down and had similar thoughts like his

While in the moment it feels good, it doesn't fix the hurt...

In this moment, Kuni is reflecting on his life up to this point. He feels like he shouldn't have been born, considering for pretty much his whole life he feels as though he hasn't had a purpose. When Jeanne snaps, she has thoughts like this as well. Let's be real, Jeanne has chronic middle child syndrome, especially when she compares how her life turned out compared to her point of view on how her older and younger sisters' lives turned out. She's resentful that they've found their purpose and that she's just stuck. She honestly wishes that she didn't exists and feels like the world would be better off without her.

And that brings me to when Kuni confronts his past. In all his years alive, for most of it he wandered without a purpose. Did he really wish for death? Did he really think his purpose was to be dead? And that brings us back to little miss Jeanne Ardelean...

The two meet when Jeanne is having the exact moment he had all those years ago. Snapping then when things settled, feeling empty and without a purpose. He sees this fellow lost soul and feels... compelled in a sense to reach out. Maybe it would be worth it to open up, even if it's just a little... Even though he's afraid of trusting again, afraid that another promise would be broken, afraid that him reaching out wouldn't matter in the end, he can't help it. He can't just sit by when he sees a person who reminds him so painfully of himself broken down, seeing someone in the exact moment of weakness he had and wonder, could he really want to see someone go down the same path he wandered down? Could he watch someone else destroy themself in order to find a "purpose"? Maybe... Just maybe... He could make a difference and help another lost wanderer go down a better path...

The works of Tolkien will never not be one of my greatest Inspirations...

My favorite thing about the “not all who wander are lost” poem is that when you first learn about it in tFotR you think it’s like this great prophesy made at Aragorn’s birth by an oracle or something but then later you learn it’s just a funky lil song Bilbo made up for his poetry buddy
