#sam/frodo

[manichewitz]

sam and frodo’s relationship is so crazy theyre like what if we had a homoerotic adventurer’s bond that was so strong it overcame the power of supreme evil, saving not just the world but one another, and the only reason we were able to survive the violence around us was through sheer love for each other, and although we’re not canonically lovers our relationship is so much more intimate and tender than acceptable norms for male/male relationships that we transcend easily definable labels and thus become queer irregardless of whether our attraction is platonic, romantic, or sexual…and we were both hobbits

#literally going insane over them #sam/frodo is just so POWERFUL #sorry i just finished return of the king after watching the trilogy for the first time #needless to say its done a number on me emotionally #i blame elijah wood and the heartbreaking love in his eyes when he says im glad to be with samwise gamgee at the end of all things #and i also blame sean astin and the way he says dont go where i cant follow #absolutely stunning brilliant magnificent #the lord of the rings #the fellowship of the ring #the two towers #the return of the king #lotr #sam/frodo #frodo baggins #samwise gamgee #frodo x sam #jrr tolkien #alex talks #samfro #fav #greatest hits #1k

[retellingthehobbit]

When Winter comes, the winter wild that hill and wood shall slay; When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day; When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain I'll look for thee, and call to thee; I'll come to thee again!

Together we will take the road that leads into the West, And far away will find a land where both our hearts may rest.

"His love for Frodo rose above all other thoughts, and forgetting his peril he cried aloud: 'I'm coming Mr. Frodo!'"

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Or, the book about gay hobbit love

Post quest sam/frodo wedding where all the fellowship shows up for the ceremony.

Aragon shows up to the Shire either entirely alone and disguised as a ranger, or with a royal escort and Arwen by his side. Gimli and Legolas show up together, rocking tans and sunglasses from their extended cross country vacation around Middle Earth. Gandalf brings the fireworks because what sort of wedding kiss doesn't have some fireworks going off in the background?

Merry and Pippin helped organize the wedding, as both dear and close (proximity wise) friends. I just think the fellowship, after everything, would want to see each other's life celebrations and be there for them, whenever they could find the time to do so.

#samfrodo #sam/frodo #in my head Gandalf finds a variety of pipeweed that helps frodo with his chronic pain #sam grows it in the garden and tends to it well #and it doesn't cure the pain but it helps #on the good days frodo is cotent with his life #hobbits also invent therapy #though they call it afternoon tea and iften get tears on their scones during the rougher talks #eventually they do go to the grey havens but they get to rest for a while first

I am a decades late to the party but here I am crying over Sam Gamgee...

Excuse me, LOTR is the most romantic thing I ever read, I don't care how you interpret it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[ID: Screenshot of a tumblr post from @doubledecks with a quote from an unknown source, which reads:

"While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien's) where it doesn't belong, Brancher sees it differently: "I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien's text in order to do that. It wasn't that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be ... friendship-ized." Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they're looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have longstanding and complex relationships with each other. It's a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It's benefits with friendship." End ID]

does anybody know where this quote is from? i found it in my camera roll and i think its an absolutely brilliant way of looking at queer readings of sam/frodo as well as slash fiction in general. i think its from an essay or article or something and i want to read the whole thing. if anyone knows where its from pls lmk!

edit: it’s been found! it’s from “The Fanfiction Reader: Folk Tales for the Digital Age” by Francesca Coppa!

The garden as a continual metaphor for love in that it demonstrates how love requires commitment and care, that it isn’t always easy to foster, that there will be seasons of hardship as well as seasons of prosperity, that it’s a dedication which will only flourish with understanding and mutual contribution, and that it’s, plainly, a beautiful thing when it succeeds:

Sam/Frodo fans:

#veesaysthings #samfro #Sam/Frodo #yes I’m on this again #it’s so on the nose but so perfect #I really go so deep into my obsession with gay hobbit love when I’m in gay college student despair #*miss scarlet from clue voice* it’s my defense mechanism

So, I wrote a thing...

heal my heart and drown my woe

Frodo Baggins/Samwise Gamgee

words: 3,275 | general audiences | no archive warnings apply

"Get a hold of yourself, Frodo Baggins, he thought fiercely. Risking a glance over his shoulder, he saw his gardener's eyes were closed and his head was tipped back, face peaceful. The storm was blowing itself out beyond the window panes and the knot that had settled in Frodo's stomach when Sam first appeared in the hallway, pale-faced and shaking with the cold despite all attempts to hide it, eased slightly."

Apples and baths and garden-lore. Frodo and Sam take care of each other and try to avoid revealing too much of their hearts in the process.

It had only been a stray comment, made one crisp autumn morning as Frodo stopped to greet the gaffer and Sam, hard at work in the garden. The dahlias had been lifted and Sam was busily planting the last of the crocuses as his Da paused to fill his pipe and talk with Frodo, who always listened with the utmost respect to anything the old gaffer had to say - a habit picked up from Bilbo. This had endeared the newcomer to Sam almost immediately when he first arrived at Bag End as Bilbo's ward.

Truth be told, the young gentlehobbit had only continued to endear himself to Sam as time went on. The more they spoke (Frodo always impeccably courteous, despite the stories of his various oddities and queer behaviour which had begun circling down at the Ivy Bush) and the more that Sam saw of him (collar askew, shirt-sleeves rolled to the elbows and birds-nest-hair glowing a deep golden brown in the afternoon sun, most often escaping over the garden wall with a book in his hand and a sheepish smile thrown in Sam’s direction) the deeper his foolish feelings grew.

Deep enough and foolish enough, that when Frodo leaned back against the wall, face still lit up with laughter from one of the Gaffer’s stories, and glanced wistfully up at the gnarled apple tree whose offerings were long-since picked, Sam’s heart flipped at the distance that had crept into the other hobbit’s gaze.

Keep reading.
