The lack of simple pics about friendship and brotherly love makes me sad. It seems people see only pairings everywhere and just don’t like that simple kind of artworks. I don’t get it. And now I often can’t bring myself to draw any of my Ri brothers pics or pics with Bilbo and Bofur. I just start to think that people won’t like them or will see something else. Too many of you put tags like #boffins or #bilboxbofur to my artworks with Bofur and Bilbo though those pics were about friendship. That’s quite annoying you know.

I’m not saying that drawing slash pics is bad, I’m just saying that for me it’s sad. I want to see more simple bromance pictures. Family situations. Or brotherly love. Pure and innocent. But I guess it’s an impossible wish right now. 

While I disagree with your stance on slash pics, I do agree that people just can’t stick with brotherly love. It always has to go deeper. But why can’t it just stay simple?
