Hovering dad epidemic
older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
there’s a thundering sound in the distance as the rohirrim ride into war but rather than hoofbeats it’s the collective sound of all their cheeks clapping
the artist for this particular piece is Frank Frazetta and to be fair to him this is how he drew the orcs armor
so the rohirrim comment is probably not that far off
That’s a man who just straight up had a problem with the concept of wearing pants into battle, and I respect that
male or female
hero or villain
sea or land
even in the snow
I guarantee you Frazetta’s Rohirrim were 100% pants-free
Good Old Frank. That man loved bodies and hated clothes so much
Frank Frazetta was the reason He-Man was designed like that; the producers conduct a study to see what art appeal the most to children, and Frank’s work came out on top in popularity. So everyone in He-Man is dressed the way they are directly because of Frazetta.
That man gave us the gift of warrior thighs and tits for everyone.
Ah, it has been too long since I have seen the no pants post on my dash. And yes, this is a rare case where it wasn’t some sexist nonsense but an egalitarian No Pants Agenda.
It’s time for my regular reblog of Gondor Needs No Pants
éowyn: “If I don’t get pants, nobody gets pants.”
…Pants or not, Frazetta did like him some nice butt. People have seen his Battlestar Galactica art, yeah?
…You also want to look closely at any of his art that has horses in it. You can spot a Frazetta right across a room if the horse’s butt has that look…
…And all that said: gods love him, he did fabulous work.
there has never been a person in this world who loved ass more than Frazetta loved ass

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right
"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.
social media is supposed to be PvP

"Twink Sauron isn't canon"
Neither is cishet Sauron. Not enough is said about him to decide one way or the other. So there's zero need to act like fans who enjoy queering the character need to be more realistic.
You're by no means WRONG, OP, but I'd actually say you have a slightly stronger case than this. Cishet Sauron has zero canonical support, whereas queer Sauron (and indeed twink Sauron) has got some non-negligible support. From my copy of the Silmarillion, first we find Sauron "seducing" the king of Numenor and "ensnaring" the great lords.
But there he swiftly rises by his cunning and knowledge...and seduces the king and most of the lords and people with his lies
Yet Sauron was ever guileful, and it is said that among those whom he ensared with the Nine Rings three were great lords of Numenorean race.
Obviously, this is poetical language, and it isn't explicitly saying anything like he slept with them, but it's telling. Sauron is very much framed as the coaxer, the character of pretty words, the seducer of men. This is already interesting because it aligns him with a role that is more traditional thought of as a female role--the femme fatale.
Then on the other hand we have the mention of Morgoth seducing him; again, the usage of "seduction" is presumably not literal but we don't know that it isn't. There is no mention, however, of seduction with respect to female characters in the Silmarillion.
In the beginning of Arda Melkor seduced him to his allegiance
Then there's also the interesting point of his behavior in Eregion. Rapidly digging out my (virtual, hence no page numbers sorry) copy of Unfinished Tales, the way Sauron interacts with Galadriel is noticeably different
He perceived at once that Galadriel would be his chief adversary and obstacle, and he endeavored therefore to placate her, bearing her scorn with outward patience and courtesy
No seducing here, sir! No, instead he "used all his arts upon Celebrimbor and his fellow-smiths"
This is not even going into the sheer number of times that Sauron is referred to as "fair" or something commenting on his appearance; I don't have the post to hand but @arofili has a great one that concludes that only Lúthien is remarked on more times than he is.
So...not only is cishet Sauron not canon, there is absolutely nothing to back such a reading with. Which doesn't mean you can't headcanon it; headcanons are free. BUT there is actually substantially more evidence for Sauron as a seductive, attractive figure (occasionally as the seducee), specifically as positioned with respect to male characters and not female ones ("placated her"? really? that's...unusual behavior from you, oh guileful seducer of Ar-Pharazôn). There's nothing there that spells out "ah yes Sauron Is Gay" or anything like that, but there is a pattern that gives more support for a queer Sauron reading than for a straight one.
He's falling hard into some of the villainous queercoding tropes and I for one am here for it.
I'll darn well reclaim my monstrous brethren, thanks.
I would just like to add, as someone who studies literary criticism and held a seminar about this exact topic: You even have a stronger case than that.
If you go back to analyse and research Tolkien's inspiration behind the lore, the story, and the characters, you can make a compelling case that huge parts of all of those were heavily influenced by North Mythology.
Other literary scholars have already drawn parallels between Loki and Sauron, for example. And drawing from this line of thinking, interpreting Sauron as very fucking queer comes easily, when you follow this thesis to the end.
Additionally, Sauron is, of course, very stereotypically queer-coded, as the silvertongued, shapeshifting, fair looking evil man. Even if you take the roots from mythology out of the equation.
Connecting that with the multiple hints we get in the various texts (some of which have been very nicely laid open here), a case for queer Sauron becomes rather clear.
Now, what I don't mean by this, and what I think a lot of people misunderstand about literary criticism in this context, is that Tolkien intended Sauron to be queer. I am personally sure he didn’t. But the question of what the writer wanted to say barely matters for a literary analysis in most cases. It's about what the text is communicating. That's all.
You know what you two, I was so conscious of the fact that I am very deep into blorbofied Silm fandom that, despite mentioning queer-coding myself in my tags, I completely ignored my instinctive “but he has that feel though”.
All that's mentioned above, and more in the notes, are things that I've put together myself as falling into queer-coding tropes (along with the over the top theatrics that I feel normally come with the performance of the classic campy not at all cishet villain). Yet, I still went “nah uh, you have blorbofied fandom brain, remember? There are no real clues anywhere”
Anyway, so that's about me defending a queer reading of Sauron while simultaneously telling myself that I'm not allowed a queer reading of Sauron. Like a normal person 🤔
Happy Pride to queer Sauron and queer Sauron only
