Some Tolkien affirmations to help you along when the darkness seems too much and everything seems lost
"The world may be grim, but there's always hope. Even in the darkest of days, there may be one bright star to guide you."
—Elrond
"It is not despair, but only the handing on of a torch."
—Aragorn
"The greatest good returns at last to those who share it freely."
—Gandalf
"It is not by sorrow and by suffering that we grow. It is by the choice we make when faced with sorrow and suffering."
—Fëanor
"The world is changed because I am in it."
—Bilbo Baggins
bonus round (Tolkien never actually wrote this — Peter Jackson did — but it's a good fucking line and Tolkien would have 100% agreed with it):
“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."
— Gandalf

agnatha btw. theyre a gargoyle sent to assist dedan in managing zone 1, since he cant be in multiple places at once + zone 1 is responsible for the majority of exports. theyre able to turn into stone and stay mostly stationary in that state, but they are conscious - some elsen talk to agnatha while in their statue form, unaware that they can hear all of their woes and worries.
while agnatha is loyal to dedan and holds a certain affection for him, his descent into corruption pains them greatly. agnatha would prefer to cling to their memories of the past, but in the end made the decision to work with dedan to salvage what was left of their beloved zone, providing a gentle yet unyielding hand to soothe his anger.
despite making it a point not to actively oppose dedan too openly in front of others, they are still seen as a pillar of strength for the inhabitants of zone 1. agnatha tries to keep at least a facade of order, so their harsher condemnations and heated arguments are kept (mostly) between them and dedan, but the fact that agnatha isnt afraid to call him out on the way he treats people creates a sense of comfort, even if it is an unsteady and short-lived one.

My list of reasons to stay live rn :)
This week anyway, might turn this into a weekly list idk.
I felt kind of inspired, I've been wanting to write this list for a while and I think it's pretty beneficial and realistic. Your reasons don't have to be "I need to see Italy" or "get famous" or anything big like that. Small is okay. Small keeps people alive.
