Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
“i want a soft masc!” “i want a tomboy fem!” i want a butch. i want a woman so masculine that my parents call her “sir.” i want a woman who wears muscle tanks, leather jackets, and combat boots. i want a woman with more pit hair than she has hair on her head. i want a woman with broad shoulders and biceps that are 20 inches around. i want a woman who can walk into a room full of men and be the most masculine one there. i want a dyke. i want a butch
'but whyyy would tolkien shoehorn sam into a romantic relationship with rosie when it's so obvious that frodo's the most important person in his life?'
hear me out, what if...and this is a long shot...tolkien had lived through some deeply harrowing experiences that emphasised that people can love each other in different ways and they're all equally important? and that the strongest bonds you form aren't always explicitly romantic? what if everything in tolkien's work (eowyn's different loves for faramir and aragorn, boromir having no interest in romantic relationships and putting everything into his love for his city) fairly dripped with the idea that romance isn't the only important sort of love? what then?
