honestly i’m so glad that the landscape of social media has changed so much that autistic people can feel safe to joke abt their autism and relate to other autistic ppl thru it. this is what autism acceptance should be more about and i am not joking
This is what autism acceptance looks like
Fuckboy: Tolkien–a conservative, Catholic, white man in the early 20th century who has been dead for forty years–would not approve of you shipping his two same sex characters.
Me:
Tolkien – a reluctant Modernist, British Catholic, white, middle-class and highly educated Language Professor from the first half of the 20th century who has been dead since 1973 – was a long-time friend of W. H. Auden, a known homosexual poet, who wrote the first and enthusiastic review of The Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien who in his Letters (fn 110) praised the work of British novelist Mary Renault, who at this point in her career had already written the Gay classic The Charioteer.
Both The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea feature positive male characters who loved and lived with men.
Tolkien who, as a medievalist, was intimately acquainted with legends of intense male warrior friendships, such as the one of Amicus and Amelius, friendships that transcend the distinction between platonic friendship and sexual love. While Tolkien’s depiction of Sam and Frodo was ostensibly modelled on the relationship of a gentleman officer and his batman in WWI (in itself not a resoundingly heterosexual relationship), the theme of the ultimate sacrifice
points towards medieval models of male-male warrior friendships.
Tolkien who, other than his close friend C.S. Lewis, never felt the need to (however humble) publicly condemn homosexuality.
Certainly, Tolkien would not have liked the sexualisation of his characters in fanfiction. But that goes for Aragorn/Arwen as much as for Sam/Frodo. There is nothing in Tolkien’s writings and life that indicates that he would have been especially appalled about fanwriters shipping same-sex characters.
^ this. Also the obsession with homosexuality as the Ultimate Sin is a characteristic of US evangelical Protestantism. The Catholic approach tends to be much more “We are all of us sinners who fall short of the glory of God; let us pray”, and the Professor, rest his soul, was Very, Very Catholic.
Also x2, the Valar were canonically gender-weird! There are bits in the Silmarillion (which I would look up to cite but cannot as I am at work-if someone feels so inclined I’d appreciate it) where they are taking physical form ‘as one puts on clothing’ , and so were described in terms of forms they would “usually” take to best express their internal sense of gender, but with it acknowledged in text that that wasn’t necessarily a perfect fit.
Tl;dr Tolkien was an old white British guy and that doesn’t mean he’d agree with what modern US evangelical Protestants say about Christianity or morality or sex or gender (or much of anything, tbh)
