do u ever wonder if tolkien had thoughts about bilbo actually being queer when he established the man was a confirmed bachelor/never had a partner in the end. did he ever had such thoughts never written down. like did his character just run from him and he realized oh this little man is queer queer

#this isn't abt tolkien beliefs or anything #this is more abt the writer experience of writing a character and the character really just taking on a life that #at some point you cant fully just play god as you wish without breaking the character of what they are #i also saw a post abt the language used for referring to queer folks like ya know confirmed bachelors #roommates. *close* friends #that sorta stuff with double meanings #it doesnt even have to necessarily be gay either maybe he just was never interested. just something out of the norm. just sort of queer #lotr #sure it could be war but maybe its something else. i cant speak for him but neither can u #hs rambles
