A little Aragorn for you in these trying times?
suggest that you should do something that, according to your friend, one does not simply do
(If friend identifies as something other than male) Say ‘no man can do _____’
if they arrive late say ‘you’re late’ (friend may claim they arrived precisely when they meant to or ask if they look horrible)
ask them what taters are
call something (preferably jewelry) ‘precious’
ask them what their favorite meal of the day is (both second breakfast or elevenses are acceptable)
I am crying now. This is so sad. Try again Spot, it’ll work next time. Race is head over heels for you!
Spot: hey so I was wondering-
Race watching Jojo and Albert doing something stupid
Spot: um if you maybe
Race: STOP
Race: I’m sorry I have to go stop my friends I’ll see you later
Spot standing alone: I wanted to know if you wanted to go out on a date with me
Spot: yeah that was worth practicing for three hours in the mirror
No but song of achilles hit so hard because it is patroclus telling achilles' story, his song, not that of his deeds, his glory, but the person that he was before and beneath that, it is the story of achilles as a man i- DON'T TOUCH ME I'M EMOTIONAL
So though it is true that Narnia and Tolkien do have Christianity written into them, the main messages are not inherently religious. The ideas of good and friendship and fighting for what you believe in, whether religious or not, are for everyone, not just christians. I am an atheist and I still relate to the main themes in these works because even if I don’t believe in god I believe in other things such as love and loyalty, which are also themes in these books. So even if the authors were christian, the stories can still be relevant and relatable to all.
So stop gatekeeping. The stories do not belong to a specific religion and can be enjoyed and interpreted by all.
Non-Christians should not be allowed to touch Narnia or Tolkien/LOTR. Those were made for us and belong to us.
Here is some Aralas from a modern AU I’m writing!

They’re gay.
