I will never recover from how everything and everyone was so queer in The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit and everything else. Legolas and Gimli built a boat together to go to the Undying Lands together and spent all their time *together* after Return of The King but yeah totally platonicly™️

Frodo and Sam were so queer in the books and movies that the actors themselves ship them together, and Sean Astin wanted them to kiss but we all know they wouldn’t have been able to get away with it. Bilbo and Thorin were so gay in the movies that this isn’t even an edited screenshot.

And somehow people still believe that it’s all platonic

Let's talk about Thorin in the below scene. He is dead asleep when Fili & Kili start teasing Bilbo. Bilbo hears the screech and immediately askes what it is. Kili responds "Orcs." In a fairly serious voice. Please note Thorin is still dead asleep when Kili says Orcs.

The absolute MOMENT Bilbo says "Orcs" Thoin is up. His eyes find Bilbo first, hold contact, then he looks around to check if anything is amiss. It wasn't the word Orc that woke him; it was Bilbo's panic. He basically just met Bilbo, yet he woke from a dead sleep at the mere hint of his distress.

You can tell he was dead asleep, too, because you can see him in the background in the next part, fully coming to his senses and realizing that the boys are teasing Bilbo.

TY @lordoftherazzles for sending me the clip to turn into gifs!

the most underrated aspect about bagginshield is its potential for 💫domestic bliss💫

can you imagine thorin living alone pre-quest? that man sleeps with his armor on. he drinks coffee and ale instead of water. his rooms are 80% empty space. and then he marries bilbo baggins master of bag end

freshly baked scones for first breakfast and fruit cakes for second. every surface is covered in doilies. warm milk and chocolate before going to bed. insanity

Bilbo making the king under the mountain act goofy as hell by just existing.

happy pride month to Thorin “had no wife” Oakenshield and Bilbo “confirmed bachelor” Baggins

Watching the making of the Dwarves and I so very much appreciate Richard Armitage's commentary

Two times, Thorin couldn't pass Bilbo a piece of paper without making it a whole gay-ass thing.

gay people can never say 'I love you' it's always gotta be some shit like "I have never been so wrong, in all my life"

Supernatural was so so so so so funny in how they were like: "Dean is such a ladies man, only boobs boobs boobs" and then they would give him a love interest in season 6 and never again.

BUT they'd have him make Cas a mixtape.

And grieve Cas like a heartbroken widower.

And then have him be happy for the first time all season once Cas returns to him (even though his mother'd still be missing).

And they'd have Dean stop with the hook-ups completely. And instead they'd have Dean make Cas watch movies together.

And have date nights.

And they'd have Dean on his knees confessing.

And the last person who'd confess his love to Dean would be a gay angel.

But Supernatural was so so so so so funny they'd be like: this means nothing.

Some day I want to see a sci-fi production where the Nerd spouts twenty seconds of impenetrable technobabble, and the Salt-of-the-Earth Audience Identification Character is just like “well, shoot – it sounds obvious when you put it that way”, and proceeds with the plan without ever demanding a plain English explanation for the benefit of the audience.

the best part about being a Girl Who Knows A Lot About Star Wars is that you can fuck with dudes so much. no guy has ever been able to refute my backed claim that moff tarkin canonically had sex with a stormtrooper. why? because doing so would force them to admit they've never read 'of mouse droids and men' and therefore know less about star wars than me: a girls' girl who thinks that luke skywalker and the mandalorian "are probably in an open relationship".

sometimes people try to tell me that scientists are paragons of rationality and I have to break it to them that I have yet to work in a lab that didn’t have at least one weird secret shrine in it
