Yes! I Believe It Truly Trivializes Their Relationship To Just Say: They Are Gay Or They Are Best Friends

Yes! I believe it truly trivializes their relationship to just say: “they are gay” or “they are best friends”

PLEASE SAMFRO LOVERS READ THIS!

I continue reading posts on tumblr where people gets angry because practically the majority of the LOTR fandom sees Samfro as a ship romantically.

I just wanted to say that of course everybody has the right to look at their relationship how they want, like in all things everybody can express their opinion. But I believe Tolkien didn’t mean to show them neither as a romantic couple nor as just friends.

Samfro really represents a kind of relationship that, unfortunately, in our world doesn’t exist between two people who aren’t related: who starts off their relationship as strangers.

It’s a type of love which is more powerful than any love between two lovers or two friends. It is really a love which doesn’t end, which comes from a feeling of belonging to somebody. It is a love that can overcome even the most powerful force of the world (the Ring). What really destroys the power of the Ring in the end? The love between Frodo and Sam.

And that’s because I don’t like to say they are JUST friends/ JUST lovers, because they represent something more powerful. Something that I don’t know how to call because it doesn’t exist in our world.

Let me know if you agree🥰

Frodo is a blue orchid and Sam his sunflower. Nobody can change my mind

He gives me courage

Nothing, just thinking about little Frodo and Sam listening to Bilbo telling them his adventures.

I don’t know if it’s just me but one of the LOTR moments that I love the most and that makes me cry all the time is the battle of Weathertop. I remember rewatching it after having finished the trilogy and crying because of it. I mean, knowing how Frodo will have to leave Sam at the end also because of his wound and the fact that he will never heal from it makes me physically and psychologically sick. Moreover in the films, as soon as Frodo is stabbed Sam runs to him and Frodo says “oh Sam” with that super sweet and grateful tone and Sam just smiles to him. And in the meanwhile Aragorn that fight all the Nazgûl’s alone and risks his life for his little hobbits. God all of this makes me sob.
