Gandalf on Bilbo Baggins:
>And now I found that he was 'unattached'—to jump on again for of course I did not know all this until I went back to the Shire. I learned that he had never married. I thought that odd though I guessed why it was; and the reason that I guessed was not that most of the Hobbits gave me: that he had early been left very well off and his own master. No, I guessed that he wanted to remain 'unattached' for some reason deep down which he did not understand himself—or would not acknowledge, for it alarmed him.
Yeah. Even when gays didn't exist publicly, they were still part of the public consciousness. Things were just a lot more subtle. A lot more polite.
And marriage was much more common. So any well-off man, over a certain age, who wasn't married, was just assumed to be gay. But no one used the word "gay" or talked about his homosexual activities. He was simply, "a confirmed bachelor".
get fricked moron. not everyone is mentally ill like you.
maybe he was just timid around women and found journeying for years to unknown lands and going 1v1 with a dragon to be the least scary option.
Wasn't he corrupted by the Ring, the only thing he loved since he found it? Smeagol wasn't married too, right?
The Ring is a metaphor for the seductive power of male love..
The ring was a metaphor for capitalism from wagner but Tolkien didn't want to be called antisemitic because of WW2 being fresh so he destroyed his own book
>it's actually from a german!
Smeagol had a long term gf who was hardly mentioned in the books but she was always there tagging along.
If he loved nature so much why did he write spiders as evil
jews, blacks etc are both natural and evil so why not spiders?
Because spiders are good symbols of evil. Also he made dragons exclusively evil even though they're too cool or sympathetic to be pigeon-holed like that (and in the late 60s there was a post-Tolkienian revolution in their portrayal) but he wanted to reference the most classical and traditional myths.
He got bitten by a spider as a toddler in South Africa and almost died so it gave him a primordial fear of them, makes sense then that he would choose a spider as a representation of evil.
only unnaturally giant spiders, and giants are inherently heinous tbh. he presumably was ok with regular spiders
He was a Catholic so had their inherited superstitious attitude.
nobody likes gays
Tolkien was friends with some, like the lesbian novelist Mary Renault. He even encouraged her to publish her works dealing with homosexuality under her real name, rather than under a pseudonym.
>Unironically what the frick is his problem?
Back then those were all just deviant trash, as they still are, and were worth thinking about let alone writing about.
Tolkien was a fan of Virgil
how many pages?
His stories didn't deal with vain, self-centered, spiritually empty urbanites all that much.
June is the month of the sacred heart of Jesus. Our only King. I wonder why they chose june for their homosexual pride month? hmm....
Funny you should say this, I found this the other day whilst re-reading.
-----------------------------------
The moon had risen high in the night sky, bathing the ground in its cool light. Legolas lay on the grass, watching the stars dance above him. His heart was filled with emotion, for he had been bewitched by Aragorn.
They had met weeks before, and since then, Legolas had been deeply enamored. But he had never imagined things developing with such intensity. He felt a longing in his heart that he had never felt before.
Aragorn lay beside him, and the intensity of their connection was palpable in the night air. Legolas turned to look upon Aragorn, studying the contours of his face in the moonlight. He could not help but stare in awe for Aragorn seemed to carve beauty into the very air he breathed.
Once he had finished taking in Aragorn's features, he moved his gaze to eye level. Without thinking, he leaned towards the man he had come to care for.
The space between them vanished as their lips met in a passionate kiss. There was a spark that seemed to ignite as they embraced, sending waves of emotion through Legolas. This was not mere love, but something transcending the boundaries of existence.
Did you write this anon? i like it
n-no that's Tolkien, he did it!
i will frick you if you continue to stutter
>giving some lonely incentive to stutter
no no, I'LL be the one to frick you if you keep encouraging them. catfeesh?
i am going to frick both of you and make the anon above me watch
>describing every type of pipeweed that hobbits smoke
Oh? Quote these sections, please.
Gays are annoying as frick. If they would shut the hell up I wouldn't mind them, but as it stands it seems that violently suppressing them is the best solution.
The reason why the LBTGQI+ is not present, is because normal people want to read about the forces of good.
what's THAT supposed to mean?
Many great Catholics were homos.. Evelyn Waugh, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Ludwig II, King Umberto II, the list goes on...
you just backed up his asserrion
>be a christcuck moron who believes bread turns into meat because a priest said a spell over it
>write black and white morality genreshit
Even if he wanted to (which he didn't on account of being a catholic super boomer), writing about gay characters would have found him prosecuted and his works suppressed.
But please tell me more about how hard it is to be straight white cis males in 2023
weak bait
