Samfro - Tumblr Posts

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.

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🥰

“He has a cleft in his chin: perky chap with a bright eye”

Tolkien about Frodo

I’m beginning to understand why so many people don’t really like Frodo.

I believe it’s because he isn’t the classic hero of the majority of stories. If you think of Harry Potter, he is a classic hero: he has “superpowers” and he is particularly strong because of his connection with Voldemort. On the contrary Frodo isn’t a classic hero.

He is a hero, but not a hero with superpowers or particular abilities which make him strong. He has other qualities. Qualities that don’t really make him strong physically but mentally. He is pure of heart, kind, loyal, brave, humble and many others.

I’m not saying that Harry Potter, for example, doesn’t have this qualities. I’m saying that while Harry can count also on his “physical” abilities and also face fightings, Frodo can’t.

So it’s for this reason that a lot of people, who really love ONLY the characters that are classic heroes (in LOTR for example Aragorn or Legolas), don’t like Frodo.

I’m not saying that Aragorn or Legolas aren’t great characters too. I’m just saying that it’s so unfair to give credit only to them and not to other characters like Frodo that is the embodiment of an atypical hero. And btw this type of heroes are my favorite.

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

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.

One of the things I love the most about Frodo is his humility and his ability to express his emotions without fear recognizing also his weaknesses. And I love how, even in the end, after he managed to destroy the Ring, he doesn’t boast about it and maintains his humility.

His hottest looks idc

Two cute neighbors. Yes, cause why nobody talks about the fact that Sam literally lived in the hill under Frodo and was always at his house hearing Bilbo’s stories probably when also Frodo was there? Let’s talk about it more guys

Can we appreciate Frodo in this scene and his strength in resisting the Ring’s power?

Boromir literally wants to take the Ring from him and Frodo’s reaction is just to walk away.

Remember Sméagol and Deagol? When Sméagol wanted to take the Ring from Deagol, Deagol’s reaction was to try to kill him.

Just to underline the differences

I love how Frodo and Sam’s relationship builds from the start. Sam has a great admiration towards Frodo and Frodo has great sense of affection and protection towards Sam.

Yes also protection: in the books from the start Frodo asks Sam if he still wants to come with him, telling him it’s very dangerous and Sam practically says he would do anything for him. But also when they are in the Tower of Cirith Ungol and Frodo refuses to share the Ring with Sam not because he wants the Ring all for himself but because “it will destroy you Sam”.

Also Frodo would do anything for Sam. They would literally die for each other.

Love catching this little moments of my two little hobbits holding each other in moments of fear

So today I read a comment on instagram in which somebody said that everything in LOTR could have been done also without Frodo and that he was useless. I wanted to answer “fuck u” but I don’t want to spread hate and so I prefer answering gently to all those who share the same opinion about this. Clearly they haven’t read the books and if they watched the movies they did it superficially. Those who are really passionate about this story can’t hate Frodo. He may not be your favorite character but you can’t really dislike him if you understood the meaning of movies/books. Whether you want it or not Frodo destroyed himself to save Middle Earth this is why I get so angry when people say he’s useless in the story.

I have a big blue eyes boys obsession. Bye

Ehy @hersignfortold thank you for making me almost cry with this thing of Sam being torn into two because Frodo is not with him anymore and probably not managing to feel complete anymore.

-92 years for my 111th birthday

Today is my 19th birthday!! And this is my cake!

I hate this scene but, oh god he is so beautiful

I am literally able to cry after the fifth time I watch LOTR or TH just for the sweetness and courage of hobbits especially of Frodo and Bilbo. I cry more for scenes like Frodo being the only one to offer to take The Ring to Mordor during the Council of Elrond or like Bilbo doing everything to help the company and risks his life to do this than for the actual sad and emotional scenes.

Yesterday I was watching the scene between Balin and Bilbo: “It never ceases to surprise me” “what?” “The courage of Hobbits” my eyes were full of tears.

Frodo literally used his last life forces to get up and hold Sam close to him as soon as he heard him cry.

And then when he is about to go to the Undying Lands he literally launches himself in his arms and holds him with all his strength. Sam was the only reason why Frodo would have stayed in the Shire but he couldn’t do it. Sam had to live his life and Frodo had to overcome his traumas. They had to separate even if it meant feeling like their hearts had been ripped apart. Even if it meant not feeling whole again.

Uff🤧

Hi, I just wanted to share this cute embroidery that I made the other day❤️.
