men who hate people having their silly little lotr ships are so silly and get so wound up about how someone else has interpreted a piece of fiction

like girl i literally don’t care if you don’t ship them why are you all up in MY business about how i’ve interpreted legolas and gimli’s ending as aligning with early-mid 20th century queer coding??

Okay but like

How much of the Tolkien fandom is homophobic?? Because from my experience Tolkien nerds are always either very homophobic or very queer positive, and I have no clue what the pie chart would show for how large each population is. It’s made me quite afraid of the fandom because I don’t know how to end up in only the gay parts and have had too many unpleasant encounters with the homophobic parts…

I know my exposure is only to a specific set of fans, so I don’t feel like I have enough experience to estimate and I’m just like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gay elf and hobbit-dwarf rights

[image ID: seven digital drawings of eiliamben / münirith, a slim androgynous elf with light skin and dark brown hair with a blonde patch on top that is short everywhere except for two sections at each temple; and grin, a stocky masculine half-hobbit-half-dwarf with light skin, light beard scruff, and long curly brown hair that is shaved on the sides and usually worn partially or fully up. eiliamben dresses in green, blue, or peach colored robes, dresses, capes, and coats, and grin dresses in earth- and jewel-toned collared shirts, vests, leather belts and harnesses, and paint-stained pants. in the first drawing, they are walking side by side as grin proudly shows of a poorly made cup, saying, "I forged it myself!" eiliamben replies, "well it's certainly unique." in the second, grin stands on his tiptoes to ask, "aren't you a little short for an elf?" eliamben raises a brows a replies, "you're calling me short?" grin asks, "aren't you supposed to be 10 feet tall or something?" in the third, eiliamben in knelt in front of grin and he smiles down at them with his arms crosses, saying, "heh, heh, imagine if you were this short." eiliamben says, "isn't that what we're doing?" and grin laughs. in the fourth, the two of them are in a sunny forest surrounded by butterflies, and eiliamben is knelt and smiling as they hold out a large dragonfly-like creature towards grin, who nervously pokes it. in the fifth, they are bathing in a hot spring together, eiliamben glancing calmly over at a very flustered grin, who is steaming and looking away with a heavy blush. in the sixth, grin is painting a posed eiliamben, who sits in a lush green clearing. in the seventh, they are running hand in hand, both smiling happily at each other. end ID]

Finally finished another Creek outfit drawing. This time we got Tweek the Bard and Craig the Warrior. Decided to put these fits into a D&D setting. And I love any opportunity to draw the whole gang together. (Yeah, I know Jason was part of the gang but, eh. No one cares about the Whites)

I had a lot of fun rendering this thing, especially the clothes of the upper panel.

The look of utter disgust is because he’s dreadfully bored. Conversations with the equivalent of uncultured swine had a tendency to dampen his mood. It’s so bad that he’s almost willing to conversate with those beneath him; mere mortals who, for the most part, did not interest him in the slightest. Middle Earth has certainly seen better days…

Retelling The Hobbit Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain First chapter / Previous / Next

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^
