if you sexualise/romanticise the relationships between the boys in The Lord of the Rings, then you clearly don’t understand that Tolkien is portraying brotherhood, the importance of friendship and, ahem, Fellowship, and what masculinity should look like.

Tumblr: It’s so disgusting how Western culture won’t let men express affection or emotional vulnerability without saying they’re gay.

Also Tumblr: Legolas and Gimli, Frodo and Sam, and Merry and Pippin are all clearly gay couples.

Tolkien: watches his school friends die horribly in WWI, feels immense guilt for the deaths of the “lower class” men put in his command and writes a series of books where this time the friends live and the true hero is a working class character who gets to come home in the end

Tumblr: there is literally no heterosexual explaination for this

The more despair I endure in life, the more I love Frodo. I'm just. I'm so glad that Tolkien wrote him like that. He was a hero and it broke him. He was given too much to carry. The circumstances were dire, everyone was doing the best they could, and Frodo tried so hard, for such a good cause, and he...broke. And the narrative has pity for him, the characters show him kindness. Even after victory, his hurts did not heal, and it isn't considered his fault. He must go to the undying lands, to seek out peace there. In universe, he is forgiven for being human - don't be pedantic - and his great torment is recognized. He fell. He could not have done it alone. He is still a hero.

And, I think that's important.

Had a revelation recently and thought it might help other people too.

There is absolutely NO shame in having a ton of projects on the go and switching between or even dropping them on a whim.

Hobbies are meant to be FUN.

You can have 20 writing projects, or knitting, or whatever your thing is, and putting them down for a bit or abandoning them is a-okay.

I personally would never think that someone who started playing a video game and then decided to play another before it was finished was a quitter, so why am I so judgemental towards myself?

Doing your hobbies in a way that brings you joy isn't selfish or weak, it's...literally the whole point of them. Go nuts!
