Tolkien Was A FREAK - Tumblr Posts

Honestly what he did would probably be considered weird by most people today, nevermind back then

Some Tolkien fans, especially the performatively Christian ones, love to paint a picture of Tolkien as this staid, conservative Oxford don, a stereotypical mid-twentieth-century British academic.

The real JRR Tolkien was a FUCKING WEIRDO. We tend to forget today how completely fucking bizarre his obsessive hobby was to his contemporaries. CS Lewis wrote some fantasy novels. Tolkien CREATED A FUCKING PLANET with history and myths and languages and races and maps and ITS OWN FUCKING BIBLE. And he spent his ENTIRE LIFE working on it, expecting that only a small percentage of it would ever be published or seen by other people.

Tolkien was a FREAK. Don't let so-called fans take that away from him.
