The Hobbit book is less gay than the movie, but I still greatly enjoy the relationship between Thorin and Bilbo in the book. When Thorin smiles all proud while locked up in an Elven dungeon, noting how much he's come to care for and respect Bilbo? Yeah that does things to my heart

#the movie was half a second away from being an actual queer movie #I can't fault the book for not being as massively gay as the movie #but I still wish it was a little gayer because the Thorin-Bilbo relationship in the book is sooooo my jam #the quiet respect gained and the way Bilbo slowly becomes comfortable scolding a king #I'm a massive fan of relationships built that way instead of the enemies-to-lovers thing #which I feel the movie leans into very much by making Thorin a grumpy ass #also movie Bilbo is too wimpy please let him scold Thorin and be devious #tello talks #bagginshield
