WERE DOING IT
WERE TALKING ABT FRODO AND MF SAM
AND HOW FREAKING GAY FOR EACH OTHER THEY WERE
LETS GO

Right so we all know how popular the ship of frodo x sam also known by me as frosam is in the fandom
like even the old side of the fandom HAS to acknowledge that the way "cHrIstiAn wOuLd nEvEr wRiTe gAy cHaRacTeRs iNtO hIs bOoKs" Tolkien CHOSE to write their relationship was a little bit SUS and theres just some moments where like come on theres no heterosexual explanation here
and obviously if youve WATCHED watched the movies and READ read the books you know that CLEARLY something was going on there and they HAD to be more than just companions and besties iykyk 👀👀👀
so I SHIP THIS with my WHOLE HEART and i started rewatching lotr last night bc its my comfort movie and i just HAD to do a rant on this
so here are my reasons as why frodo x sam is BASICALLY canon
1) THE QUOTES
did you really think i was gonna do a rant and NOT provide SOME quote material to justify my otp??? OFC NOT. DISCLAIMER these two quotes are two i thought of OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD the last time i reread the books was a few months ago and the fact that i was able to think of these line for line and find them in under 3 minutes in my copies of the books really says a lot abt this ship
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE
these are just two that i personally when i was reading was like OOP yeah that's something right there
"He ran to Frodo and took his left hand, awkwardly and shyly. He stroked it gently and then he blushed and turned hastily away."
- The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Chapter 1: Many Meetings, page 219
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT?!?!??!??! HMMMMM?!?!??!
He then goes on to comment how warm frodo's hand is bc this is after he healed from the stabbing w a morgul blade and how it felt so cold during all the nights and now it feels normal again
now how often are they holding hands again?????? 👀👀👀👀
IM JUST SAYING
then we've got--
"Frodo's face was peaceful, the marks of fear and care had left it; but it looked old, old and beautiful, as if the chiseling of the shaping years was now revealed in many fine lines that had before been hidden, though the identity of the face was not changed. Not that Sam Gamgee put it that way to himself. He shook his head, as if finding words useless, and murmured: 'I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.'"
