tolkien writing sam and frodo: doesn’t everyone’s gaze linger on their bro’s lips for a little too long? don’t all best buds kiss each other on the forehead and hands? all buddies go on life threatening missions with each other. you guys would all follow your pal to the moon if he went, right? you guys all call your friends my dear and call yourself theirs. if you thought your best guy friend died you would think it would be better if you died too… right… right guys…?

i just made a quick comment about this passage on an ask game. but. my samfro conspiracy mind has been buzzing. because when sam says “home to the Shire to a nice little hole with—with a bit of a garden of my own.” … that hesitation. he hesitated. i assume tolkien meant for us to read this as embarrassment at desiring a home of his own and a garden all to himself, as he grew up working class and likely felt some kind of shame around wanting what the families he gardened for had.

BUT. if we read this from the perspective of a crazy ass gay person (me)

he stopped himself from saying with Frodo. the “garden of his own” is Frodo. he was blushing so hard because it was fucking FRODOOOOOOO
