#samfro headcanons

[ffrodobaggins]

writing a bit in my fic about how sam would have tea with frodo on his breaks from gardening and sometimes he’d bring his lunch over and ‘accidentally make too much’, because he knew frodo might want some too. and how frodo would wait for his tea to cool down completely so that they could talk for longer before sam had to carry on working.

which is so lovely but now i have to go back to writing the regularly scheduled Horrors 👎👎👎👎👎

I really like to think about Frodo comforting Sam when he has nightmares.

Because Sam obviously wouldn't immediately tell him he has troubles sleeping. For him there should be only one nightmare-haver in Bag End and it's Frodo, and obviously Frodo has it way worse so he shouldn't be fussing about it. He can endure things.

But Frodo notices. He notices Sam staring blankly at the celling and waking up crying out something nonsensical in the middle of the night. He knows he knows what's happening because he felt it too, many times, and oftenly he still does, and oftenly he will for many years.

He never asks Sam what the dreams are about or why hadn't he told him anything. He doesn't ask because he knows it would make it worse, and because Sam never asks him. He listens when Sam is willing to tell, but never asks anything from him.

Frodo had, in many ways, less experience in any mental support than Sam. Mainly because Sam had younger siblings and a big family, so he has experience with comforting children, tweens and even his older brothers when the situation calls for it. Frodo happens to be on the recieving end many times, way more than he wishes, but it doesn't mean he doesn't try. He doesn't usually try to replicate the way Sam comforts him, because it requires a lot of energy and because he knows Sam, and Sam is different from him and not everything that would help him helps Sam. Still, he hugs him tight or places a kiss upon his cheek. He recites poetry in sindarin and tells Sam tales to distract him, even when his voice is low and tired and trembling, he remains a decent storyteller. He tries to add joke and makes his own notes and ever remembers lullabies Bilbo told him as part of his culture and language studies.

And he hold his hands. Through whole night. With both of his hands.

He never reminds him of what happens and often Sam thinks that it all was a dream. And a very pleasant one, too.

i can't get domestic frodo and sam out of my head. sam would take up the housewife position and dote on frodo, cooking him meals and doing chores. and frodo would try to help until sam shooed him out of the kitchen and insisted he relax. and there would be LOTS of handholding and forehead kisses and softly spoken words of affirmation. :') send help

LOTR couple headcanons

Sam/Frodo

Were childhood besties (I know they are different ages in the books but my mind is a weird mix of movie and book canon so roll with it)

Gay marriage is legal in the Shire though its relatively uncommon and looked down upon by some (Lobelia cough)

Bilbo is really supportive of them tho although the Gaffer is not so much and for a long time refers to them as “roommates” but after the quest he comes around is actually really supportive of them

They like to cook together, Sam is naturally gifted and Bilbo taught Frodo

Sam does outdoor chores and Frodo does indoor chores

Frodo is skilled at knitting, sewing, and embroidery and fixes all the holes in Sam’s clothes with little embroidered flowers- he also knits him hats

Sam is very protective of Frodo after the quest and will always make sure if he can’t be there that someone is with Frodo in case he has a flashback or gets sick

He also makes him lots of medicinal teas and gives him lots of massages on his neck where Shelob stung him

Sam was always kinda the least favorite kid of the Gaffer but Frodo gives him so much love and encouragement and makes him feel like the best hobbit in the shire (which he is)

Love the headcanon of Sam being the hunk of the shire and Frodo being the weird elf-looking boy which is exactly Sam’s type

Frodo is the bottom Sam is the top

Frodo naps a lot after the quest and Sam likes it when he does this on his lap he also likes to carry him around

They got married in Rivendell before the quest because they weren’t sure what would happen-when they come back they have a big anniversary party

Faramir/Eowyn coming next

I feel like we don’t have enough Samfro headcanons going around and we definitely deserve more so here are some of mine. Most of them work well for either a platonic or a romantic relationship so it’s your choice how to read them

Frodo doesn’t cry a lot in general but the second Sam starts tearing up he’s weeping

Sam’s sisters adore Frodo and many times they invite him to join them on their “time off” days, they go on picnics and do embroidery together. Frodo enjoys it very much and often he brings a few of Sam’s shirts and embroids little flowers on them

Sam LOVES it

Bear hugs. Sam, being more physically affectionate, gives Frodo incredible bear hugs. It doesn’t need to be a special occasion, most of the times it’s just because Sam is very excited about something. In the beggining Frodo got very flustered whenever Sam hugged him like that but he liked it and after a while got more comfortable and started initiating these hugs as well

Frodo is extremely witty and has the world’s driest humor. Merry and Pippin roll their eyes at his jokes but Sam thinks he’s hilarious

Sam doesn’t make many jokes or witty remarks, but when he does, they are super funny in the most wholesome way. No one is immune. The whole room is cracking up laughing and Frodo remembers every single one of these occasions

Both of them have a laugh that is 99% of the time funnier than the joke

They both love reading. Frodo is a fast reader and can read for hours at a time, and Sam has a hard time sitting still for so long so it takes him a bit longer. Sometimes Frodo sits by Sam when he works in the garden and reads to him

Sam writes the most beautiful holiday cards. They are always very personal and Frodo gets emotional every time he gets one

Sam snores a little. Frodo thinks it’s adorable

Frodo mumbles nonsense in his sleep. Sam thinks it’s adorable

Sam loves having someone playing with his hair and Frodo gladly volunteers

i need to have a samfro headcanon delivered to me every few hours so i can chew on it a bit

[ffrodobaggins]

random headcanon because i’m sleepy and i want to project: frodo gets nauseous and dizzy when he’s tired and hasn’t had enough sleep, so when he wakes up slightly too early in the morning, sam will always tell him to rest his head down for longer and stroke his hair until he’s asleep again.

[ffrodobaggins]

bouncing off my post about sam looking after frodo’s hair again. headcanon time ^_^ (slightly panicked disclaimer: lol this isn’t necessarily meant to be angsty or sad or anything. i hope this reads as a mundane little thought about them :p).

i like to think that every two months or so, sam will sit frodo in front of the mirror and cut his hair. although he likes it long, to tie it up in ribbons and let it begin to fall onto his shoulders, it’s no longer practical now that his health fluctuates so often. he can no longer regularly maintain it for himself.

and while sam would be completely willing to care for it- to brush out the matting or wash it when he could not do so himself, frodo knows that it wouldn’t be fair to ask of him, as an already busy father and husband, as a hobbit who had toiled over him more than he could ever imagine.

so, frodo insists upon it becoming a bit of a ritual. sam takes pleasure in doing it. frodo is insistent he is too clumsy to do it himself, although for the most part, he simply enjoys the time they spend in front of the mirror. sometimes they’ll chat, on days where frodo feels he has more energy. others, sam will just sit and hum a little tune, and remind his fellow hobbit how beautiful he is, in his own sort of way.
