sir octepus tea Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 "I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil" I reblogged a post with this quote on tumblr a while ago, and it has been changing the author between j.r.r tolkien and sylvia plath. at the time of writing tolkien is credited with this quote. so who wrote the original quote? am I switching between universes? is the o.p trolling? or do I just have shitty memory?

Planet Ace Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 No, it's definitely Tolkien. In this universe, anyway. It's from the last chapter of The Return of the King; the character Gandalf says it. I'm looking right at it in my copy. Your memory is just fine! Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how Sir Ian McKellen has said he's certain Gandalf is Asexual I hadn't really thought about it, but it's possible, I suppose. There's certainly no evidence to prove he isn't asexual. Pretty much all the other characters end up being pair off in one form or another, and Gandalf doesn't, so one could make a fairly good case for it. That's cool! Link to post Share on other sites
sir octepus tea Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 I honestly headcanon many of my favorite charcters as being on the asexual spectrum unless it´s reeeeeeeally clear that they are attracted to someone, but since this usually makes it a main storyline with less interesting characters I don´t have many favorite characters like that Link to post Share on other sites
