Bless Samwise Gamgee’s queer little hobbit heart.
“And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned […]. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head drooping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo’s head, drowned deep in sleep […]. Peace was in both their faces.” - Tolkien, The Two Towers
#Frodo and #Samwise in Shelob’s lair. "They struggled on, still hand in hand.“ (The Two Towers, #TheLordoftheRings, J.R.R. Tolkien)
"But Shelob was not as dragons are, no softer spot had she …” (J.R.R. Tolkien, #TheLordoftheRings, The Two Towers, “The Choices of Master Samwise”).
“All right, Sam,” said Frodo. “Lead me! As long as you’ve got any hope left. Mine is gone.” (Tolkien, #TheLordoftheRings, The Return of the King)
“To Sam’s surprise he felt tired but lighter, and his head seemed clear again. No more debates disturbed his mind. He knew all the arguments of despair and would not listen to them. His will was set, and only death would break it.” (#Tolkien, #LordoftheRings)
“Master!” cried Sam. And Frodo stirred and spoke with a clear voice, indeed with a voice clearer and more powerful than Sam had ever heard him use, and it rose above the throb and turmoil of Mount Doom, ringing in the roof and walls.

“Do not be too sad, Sam,” said Frodo. “You cannot be always torn in two. You will have to be one and whole, for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.” (J.R.R. #Tolkien, #LordoftheRings, The Return of the King)
The Greathearts of the Shire: Sam & Frodo, Pippin & Merry!
Sketchbooking: working out how I want to draw the Fellowship of the Ring.
When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventy-first birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
“Frodo was the only one present who had said nothing.” -J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing (#TheLordoftheRings), Ch. 1
“I am not trying to rob you, but to help you,” Gandalf answered. "I wish you would trust me, as you used.“ He turned away, and the shadow passed. He seemed to dwindle again to an old grey man, bent and troubled. - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing, Chapter 1
Bilbo looked up, sniffing the air. "What fun! This is what I have really been longing for, for years! Good-bye!” he said, looking at his old home and bowing to the door. "Good-bye, Gandalf!“
Frodo began to say to himself: "Perhaps I shall cross the River myself one day.” To which the other half of his mind always replied: “Not yet.”
- J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing, Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Past
Gandalf was smoking now in silence, for Frodo was sitting still, deep in thought. Even in the light of morning he felt the dark shadow of the tidings that Gandalf had brought. - J.R.R. #Tolkien, #TheFellowshipoftheRing Ch. 2: The Shadow of the Past
Frodo sat silent and motionless. Fear seemed to stretch out a vast hand, like a dark cloud rising in the East and looming up to engulf him. "This ring!“ he stammered.
