frodo and sam are fairly gay in the movies even though they cut all the hand kissing. but in the books? frodo is sam's much older and boss who also gives of major aro/ace vibes. he is aware of sam's feelings, possibly more so than sam himself, but maintains boundaries for sam's sake, while still making sure to show sam all the affection and appreciation he deserves. sam is bi but doesn't quite understand his own feelings for frodo even though they're obvious to everyone else including Rosie.

Bilbo on the other hand is 100% gay, but my headcanon is that this was 100% an accident on Tolkien's part because i don't think Tolkien had functional gaydar.

if I had a nickel for every time Harriet Vane had to awkwardly comfort a heartbroken middle-aged woman who was sobbing on her shoulder over much younger man, while trying to soothingly fix said woman's makeup, while also trying to hide how Deeply Uncomfortable she (Harriet) is, I would have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
