Every time Sean Astin makes a statement on whether or not Sam and Frodo were indeed gay for each other in lord of the rings he’s always like “well we have to acknowledge that attitudes around sexuality have changed dramatically over the past several decades and since authorial intent is only up to speculation, the story is open to multiple readings, some of which might have different significances for different groups of people also they kiss on the lips because I said so”
at the rose city comic con panel this month a fan asked them (sean and elijah) if sam and frodo were in love and they said
Sean: …..yes. absolutely
Elijah: 100 percent.
Sean: dont tell rosie
Rosie: “This is my husband Sam, and that’s his husband, Frodo. Frodo is my husband-in-law. I’m not into him, he’s he’s a bit too ‘elfy’ for my taste, but Sam likes him, and that’s fine with me. As far as I know, Frodo can’t give Sam children, but Frodo looks after ours all the same, so I don’t mind sharing Sam if it means another pair of eyes on the wee ones. In all honesty, our family tree is right simple compared to some hobbits. Yes, I’m referrin’ to you Lobelia, over there pretendin’ you ain’t eavesdroppin’. Still bitter you ain’t got either of my boys or their house, eh?”
The fucking legendary WAIT to fake bomb them to show them you knew the whole time.
Legend.
i love that there was definitely an intelligence briefing where someone in charge heard that there was a fake airfield in progress and went, “…hey you know what would be funny?” and then everyone else agreed it was indeed SO funny that they would devote man-hours and a sizable log to making a fake bomb to drop on it while being only somewhat busy fighting a war, but never too busy for a funny craft project
that pilot was probably laughing so hard after he pulled the trigger and turned back to whatever convoy i’m shocked he was able to keep the plane in the sky.
Iceman: Listen, Bradley, I was at the hospital the other day, getting another checkup to confirm the cancer was all gone, and since my regular doctor was in emergency surgery I got the new guy, Dr. Goldmann. He’s just about your age too, very handsome, gay, and single…
Iceman: Now, I know that Hangman boy still has you under his spell, god knows why, I’m not asking you to give him a call right away, but just file it away for later.
Iceman: I mean really, Bradley, the boy got his callsign because he abandons people. I’m all for you having fun now, but this man is clearly not capable of handling a long-term commitment. So just keep the name in the back of your mind for when you’re ready for something more serious.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
Hangman: I’m so happy, I could kiss you! Rooster: Um…Neat. *later*
Rooster, lying face down on his bed: I said “Neat,” Mav. Who the fuck says neat to that? It’s not neat to say neat but I said it anyways because I’m fucking stupid. Maverick, reading a handbook: Don’t beat yourself up too much, Roo. Everyone gets nervous sometimes. Remember what I did when Ice confessed his love to me? Rooster: Didn’t you thank him? Maverick: *closes the book and looks at the ceiling* I fucking thanked him.
Not me ritualistically checking all the fanfic sites I use for my current hyperfixation for something new akin to when one checks the fridge for new food as if they went shopping in the last half an hour and didn’t notice.
All I’m saying is that some fics deserve to be movies. Like I need the edits, the controversy, the fanart, the obsession which will follow me like a shadow until I die, the fanfiction of the movie which was based on fanfiction in the first place-
The list of fanfics I want as movies cannot be listed.
Also like 60% of them could never be made into movies because the heads of some conservative white folks would explode
