LOUDER for peej 🙄 I hate that fandom portrayal sm. It also devalues every other relationship he has.

🤮 at the way the films potray Bilbo leaving Erebor i forgot just how bad it was until a gifset reminded me "🥺🥺 h-he was...to me he was...👉👈" jfc its like a blueprint for the world's easiest way to gaybait. We get nothing about Dain's goodbye, nothing about Thranduil's, nothing of Beorn or Elrond or the friendships that actually mattered and went on into LoTR. They stretched this book into three movies and yet they can't stand to develop any other characters or have anything be about anyone but Thorin and making money off the "bury your gays" trope.

#balin elrond thranduil bard and dain *exist*#th*lbo shippers: 'yall see smnth?'#also look im sorry. in the books its clear bilbo is happy he woke up in time to reconcile with th*rin before he dies #so that he feels at peace abt it. and he cries over him bc 'he really is a soft hearted fellow'#all of this is written in a way that implies he did NOT consider them good friends or anything more #in fact it tells me he was still lowkey pissed abt the incident on the wall (rightfully)#spacetxt.#negative
