Not to be the pedantic twat here, but I'm mightily tired of seeing personal biases, opinions and fanon being spread around and treated as fact. The canon status of Legolas/Gimli isn't a matter of "interpretation". You can't claim to that Sam being gay for Frodo is a legal reading of Lord of the Rings without coming across as spectacularly ignorant about the culture whence LotR came.

Fandom is about colouring outside the lines, so hey: write stories about what Lord of the Rings would be like of Sam was gay for Frodo. Draw comics about how Legolas-Gimli family dinners would end up. Feel free to play around with these characters and the world, that's why we're all here. Write 5k essays about why Sam and Frodo would be the cutest couple ever. Just... don't write 5k essays dissecting the novels for "hints" supporting your queer interpretation of it. The blanks you're claiming to fill in aren't empty.

Are you an anti-slasher?

Haha, no. I just used LotR and same sex pairings because that was a point of reference I assumed most people would be familiar with.

I see!

I totally agree with this, and I'm someone who ships the hell out of a non-canon pairing. I just don't feel the need to believe my ship is actually canon. Would it be nice if it were canon? Like, five-Christmases-and-a-promotion levels of nice? Yup! But I prioritize "being in touch with reality" above "believing a thing because of how happy I would be if it were true."

There's nothing wrong with dissecting the novel to make a queer reading of it; you just have to retain a proportional outlook, and not mistake the strength of your interest in it for evidence

(also picking Sam and Frodo is a pretty bad choice of an example tbqh)
