hey wandersong fans. do you ever think about the baron. how, in so little time, wandersong clearly establishes four things: one, the baron fucked up an Entire Town. two, he did it trying to bring that town happiness, because it was once His community. three, hes kiwis father. four, they do not recognize each other.

do you ever think about how profoundly sad that is? the baron, presumably already estranged from his community, decided to try and bring it joy. he abandoned his wife and child to do so. he spent years, decades, even, working on his factory, his toys. but the factory fails. the community comes together, rallied by a bard he does not know, to tell him that hes done them wrong. that hes done something downright evil, even. he looks at a determined community he does not recognize, and backs down. he goes home to his wife, their child nowhere to be seen. thats to be expected, after decades. they must be an adult now.

and kiwi...ohhh the ways the baron parallels kiwi...the both of them, estranged from the communities they live in, doing whatever they can to bring the people around them joy, but its never enough. theyre never Part of the community. so they leave, on their own journey. one to save the world, one to save the town. and they fail! theyre not the heroes of their stories, no matter how hard they try. but kiwi went out making friends on their journey. kiwi has miriam to lift them up and help them out. the baron has no one, not anymore.

#LOVEEE how wandersong has The Chosen Hero. but ALSO theres several people trying to Be heroes and their success varies GREATLY.#baron kiwi miriam the spell squad and ofcourse audrey off the top of my head.#and the ones with the most success are the ones who make Friends and build Communities rather than working toward a nebulous 'good'#like yeah kiwis Overall goal is the save the world. but they Regularly put it on hold to do seemingly unnecessary tasks #which are Critical to not just their quest but the Communities they interact with. kiwi Brings People Together.#UGHHHH and the way kiwis mom Knows the baron is kiwis dad......but he doesnt accept visitors until his factory is disrupted.....#do you think its a sore point. do you think the knowledge that kiwis dad is Right There but doesnt want to see them is smth kiwi represses.#bc we know kiwi has a repression problem!! MIRIAM has to pry their fuckin feelings out of them with a crowbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!#snidge rambles #wandersong #wandersong kiwi #wandersong bard #wandersong baron #baron wandersong #kiwi wandersong #bard wandersong #holy shit do u think the baron was the one who used to commune with the overseer.#bc the spirit world looks Just Like his factory.#thats how kiwis mom learned it? she learned it from him???
