frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore it’s weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.

no, he couldn’t have done it without his samwise. but isn’t that a lesson in itself?

Nay, time does not tarry ever, but change and growth is not in all things and places alike. For the Elves the world moves, and it moves both very swift and very slow.

I really wanted to make Legolas's image more fairytale-like

When trying to be affectionate (or to tease) Frodo goes all formal with Sam, going as far as to call me "Master Samwise" and "Samwise Gamgee, the master of Bag End", whereas Sam does quite the contrary and goes completely overboard with "Frodo-love", "Frodo-dear" and "Frodo my beloved", dropping the formalities.

[nadiajustbe]

The concept of Sam's love for Frodo being the reason Middle-earth was saved, but also the reason because of which Sam was ready to doom the fate of Middle-earth all together.

Because Sam's goal isn't saving Middle-Earth, not really. It's the goal of Frodo. Sam's goal is following Frodo to whatever aim he set to himself. And when there's no Frodo, the Middle-earth might as well not exist.

one of the underrated lessons from lotr's Aragorn is to avoid responsibility for as long as humanly possible, possibly in the woods, possibly without showering, until the small folk need you or whatever
