‘Life is very full of sex, or should be. As much as I admire Tolkien — and I do, he was a giant of fantasy and a giant of literature, and I think he wrote a great book that will be read for many years — you do have to wonder where all those Hobbits came from, since you can’t imagine Hobbits having sex, can you? Well, sex is an important part of who we are. It drives us, it motivates us, it makes us do sometimes very noble things and it makes us do sometimes incredibly stupid things. Leave it out, and you’ve got an incomplete world.’ George R R Martin (source)
no disrespect to george rr martin but this quote cracks me up bcos every time i see if I’m just like, no george… you can’t imagine hobbits having sex. ;P
FOUND IT & I say again: I can imagine hobbits having sex just fine.
Georgey boy here forgetting Sam’s 13 kids.
he didn’t forget about them. he just doesn’t understand where they came from.
That’s even funnier, then.
george rr martin, looking at the gamgee family tree and crying: wh-where… where did they all come from…….
this man is apparently under the impression that we need sex scenes to understand that sex exists in any given story universe and honestly that explains so much about his writing
this just in, tolkein doesnt have object permanence. its probably why the wraiths had such trouble finding the ring.
