Can We Talk About How Frodos Real Smiles During The Trauma Of The Quest Are Practically Only Because

Can we talk about how Frodo’s real smiles during the trauma of the quest are practically only because of Sam?

Look just at this photo, how he smiles knowing Sam would come with him. Despite the horrors he knows he will have to overcome he is happy because Sam is the only person he needs to feel really happy even while carrying his burden.

Sam for him is love, home, trust, joy.

Romantically or not, they complete each other, they need each other and so when they are together, it can be happening even the worst thing (like being about to die on Mount Doom), but they feel happy, they feel complete.

They are just one thing. It’s impossible to divide them. Think about it, is there one scene in the books/films in which Frodo and Sam aren’t together or aren’t thinking about each other? No, there isn’t.

So when you have to explain what having a soulmate REALLY means talk about them.

“Take care of the others, especially Sam”

Frodo’s priority. Always

I never told you but I really fell in love with LOTR this summer. I watched it for the first time when I was like 7 years old but I was to little to understand it. What I liked about it was Frodo, I already had a little crush on him. So when this summer I rewatched the films I thought: “my crush is still going strong”

That’s so funny😂

He must have been like wtf, I can't leave you alone for two minutes, can I

This little scene in which Frodo tries with his last forces to climb Mount Doom is actually so important to me. Even though his mind is obscured by the Ring and part of him doesn’t want to destroy it he still remembers why he has to do it: to save the ones he loves (especially Sam). It is love and the purity of his heart and soul that in the end defeat the power of the Ring.

So, you’re telling me that if it wasn’t for Bilbo’s little jump scare we would have looked at Frodo unbuttoning his t-shirt fully? Oh okay… I don’t really mind 😩🥹🫠
