#i will always interpret lotr through a queer lens

[emthejedichic]

You will pry my "Bilbo Baggins is gay" headcanon out of my cold, dead hands. This motherfucker is one of the richest Hobbits in the Shire, certainly the richest in Hobbiton, and he needs an heir. But did he marry and have children? No, no he did not. He adopted Frodo, the other "weird" Baggins and I cannot unsee the inherent queerness of this. Chosen family, even though they're already related. Bilbo is NOT Frodo's biological uncle, Frodo just calls him that. But they chose each other. And I think Frodo is gay too, and that's part of what Bilbo saw in him. He knows the queers need to stick together.
