#sorry i don't support shipping jonathan with anyone of any gender
Text
For the youngs arguing about the plausibility of ships on Stranger Things: yeah, it's a science fiction that need not be historically accurate at all, but also, I grew up in a small Midwestern town, like Hawkins, in the 80s, and I knew queer adults. It's true that far fewer were out then, but they were there, and some were out. My mom regularly played cards with some gay male friends, the adult daughter of one of her other friends left her husband for a woman, and my aunt had a favorite coworker who was part of a long-term lesbian couple. All of these people lived in my small town or the surrounding county. As an old, I assure you, we existed in the 80s, even in a place like Hawkins.

Hi hun! This is for the Matchup Request thing!!
🗡️ 18yo GNC Woman // Bisexual // Autistic and Chronically Ill. I'm fine being shipped with any gender, but I tend to like Men more since I make friends with them more easily than with girls
🗡️ Idk if this has any relevance, but I'm an Aquarius, INFJ, 4w5 Hufflepuff. That means I'm very unique and philosophical, idealistic but scientific in my approach to things. I have a soft but strong presence.
🗡️ I really love/relate to characters who are sad, scruffy men who pine romantically after someone and have pretty hair. Aragorn, Caleb Widogast, Jonathan Sims, Hozier, I see myself in these people and really love them a lot.
🗡️ I am INCREDIBLY existential, and I love Indie, Folk and Rock & Roll Music. I also play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, and when I get comfortable enough to joke with someone (which may take awhile) I can be very raunchy and witty. I'm Hyperempathetic so I really hate seeing people upset, and I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder too.
🗡️ I love horses, folk art, armor and anything that has "Moomins Vibes" and is really folklore or nature-oriented. I write for a living, and I dream of becoming a craftsman who makes Lotr and Mythology-themed Jewelry, Weapons and maybe even Armor or Motorcyles one day. I also love Mythology, especially the deities, and actually worship a few of them too
🗡️ I am very short, only 4' 11" tall (149.86 cm) with a messy mane of brown hair, light blue eyes, crooked glasses, and pale skin that's littered with scabs, moles and bruises. My hair used to be blonde when I was younger, so it looks honey-colored in sunlight, and I never learned how to braid so I usually just put it in a ponytail or leave it loose and messy.
🗡️ I’m basically like a tiny, less-impressive Aragorn. I love travelling on foot, getting messy outside, I’m kind of a Horse Girl ngl, I’ve always wanted to be a knight or king of some sort, chances are that I haven’t bathed in awhile, and I too would pine for a hot elf girl for literal years on end.
Sorry that description is so long, I hope you don't mind!! Thanks so much in advance hun!!
I ship you with Bofur. I cannot imagine you with anyone better. Like. Bruh. You guys would be so frikin sweet together!!!
Tumblr media
Okay, he would love you so much. Your desire to become a craftsman and make jewelry? He’d love that, and would 100% give you pointers and tips, and guide you towards his cousins if you want to work on more advanced techniques. He’d be honored to don any jewelry you make for him, and would treasure it forever. When you get comfortable enough around him and let out your witty side? He’d be surprised at first, but would soon be joking right along with you! Like, Mahal, he never knew that you were this funny!
He’d always be there to help you on your bad days. Whether your chronic illness is bothering you, your anxiety is becoming too much, or you’re on a sensory overload and have a meltdown, he’s always supporting you. He’d take you in his arms and cuddle you pressing kisses all over your face. He’d try and make you laugh once the worst of it has passed, and it makes him feel a bit better if he can get you to smile. Or,  he’d leave you alone, if that’s what you need. But he’d never be far, so that he can be there if you do need him.
He’d love learning about mythology from you, and finds it really fascinating that you’re able to communicate with them through your practice (though, he’d get very jealous of Þor when he hears that Þor flirts with you, so be prepared to deal with that lol). But this dwarf would also have a few dwarrow myths and history of his own to share with you, so you’d spend plenty of time bonding and talking about that as well!
Bofur loves your hair so much, and thinks it’s almost like magic how it changes to golden-honey in the sunlight. When he learns you don’t know how to braid, he’s insistent upon braiding it for you (even if you’re not courting yet and it’s platonic). If you wanted too, he’d also teach you some styles, so you could do your own hair (and also his). He might get a bit upset at how many bruises appear on your skin, “Lass, you’ve got to be gentle with yerself! I hate to see you hurt!”, but it never bothers him too much. He has plenty of bruises and scrapes himself, after all. You both get pretty messy, with him being a minor and you being a fun size aragorn, but every so often you both bathe and get cleaned up. It’s all for naught, since you both immediately get dirty again the next day, but at least you both get cleaned up once in a while.
All in all, you and Bofur are the most precious and cheery couple in Middle Earth.
