Anybody else ever start maniacally laughing because of how much you love Gilbert and Sullivan?? Just me? I’ll see myself out.

just T H White casually altering my brain chemistry three times in three totally different ways

As someone who went through a huge Robin Hood phase- one of my favorite RH retellings was a short story in a children's magazine in which the Sheriff of Nottingham secretly asks Alan-a-Dale to plant stories/rumors of an unstoppable theif so that he can avoid enforcing King John's taxes. With the understanding that he (the Sheriff) will be the villain in these stories.

me reading any robin hood crit

some LOTR fans apparently: i can't believe Eowyn gave up being a badass warrior to become Faramir's wife and a lame healer, ugh Tolkien being sexist in spite of himself

me: the. war. was. OVER!!!! ????

frodo and sam are fairly gay in the movies even though they cut all the hand kissing. but in the books? frodo is sam's much older and boss who also gives of major aro/ace vibes. he is aware of sam's feelings, possibly more so than sam himself, but maintains boundaries for sam's sake, while still making sure to show sam all the affection and appreciation he deserves. sam is bi but doesn't quite understand his own feelings for frodo even though they're obvious to everyone else including Rosie.

Bilbo on the other hand is 100% gay, but my headcanon is that this was 100% an accident on Tolkien's part because i don't think Tolkien had functional gaydar.
