Sometimes I’m having a good day but then I remember that racist/homophobic LoTR fans exist and I’m like, “damn… they would be so mad at my idea of an accurate graphic novel adaptation… even if I was 100001% true the Tolkien’s books.”

#like sorry he described the hobbits as having darker skin??#and that Pippin is the only one tall for a hobbit and super pale out of the bunch???#and that Aragon is also described as having darker skin and also as being nomadic and indigenous???#racist mf god DAMN #and that Sam blushed so much around Frodo???#and that that kissed and cuddled a lot????#homophobic mf god DAMN #I literally would not have to change a thing in order for people to hate me and send my dt #yall would say I drew it too gay #MF IM DRAWING IT EXACTLYYYYYYY HOW HE DESCRIBED #yall would say say that Tolkien intended them to only be tan…#bc it’s supposed to be in old Europe/england #bruh lemme send you that 300 page slideshow about racism and middle earth PLEASE #god DAMN #yall assume that if they aren’t described as having dark skin then they are white #BUT THEN YOU SAY that they are white even if they have dark skin because the author simply meant tan #I simply say #if skin was never brought up you would assume everyone in a book is white #if someone made an adaptation of that book and made they all BIPOC you would get angry and say it’s not a faithful adaptation #and I just think that says a lot.#by itself.#lotr #lord of the rings #tolkien #jrr tolkien #homophobia in fandom #racism in fandom
