#frodo: i'm gay

[creepyscritches]

It's very funny the more LOTR type shit I have in my immediate circle bc like. Truly. I don't care for the series. I'm slated for an extended edition, strap-me-to-the-couch, GRONDGRONDGRONDGROND-type re-watch w my friends and I honestly hope I like it this time lmao....i haven't seen LOTR in like? 14 years?? Idk I like gimli I think? Man that'd be a good name for a guinea pig. We almost named Pippin Smeagol/Gollum but you gotta earn that name. Her full title is Pippin the Peepin Peepee Baby. Her signature move is filling your palm with a small puddle of pee. Did it within 3 seconds of the vet googoogagaing at her. Maybe she should be smeagol. Anyway my LOTR knowledge is peripheral and purely for comedy - - look at my little girlies hairy hobbit feet. Look at Frodo's bright pink toes.

#Creepy chatter #I am the ONLY ONE who is not down bad for LOTR in my social circles lol... #Even my partner's whole family seems to go nuts for it #So I have such a weird amount of LOTR vocabulary to float along thru conversations but it's very funny when they ask me basic questions #And I'm like Frodo's best friend is dumbledore. #But also I know hobbits elope instead of throw big weddings. So when all em hobbits scampered out it kinda looks like a big polycule #Big fan of the gimli legolas gay sex fanartists. Give that elf some curlers.

Fingon: Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong

Maedhros: WEST VIRGINIA

#yep I'm stealing this exact gag #someone made about Sam and Frodo in Mordor #Tolkien do love a parallel I guess #kinda gay tbh #fingon #Maedhros #the silmarillion #Tolkien #jrr tolkien

[thesnowqueen]

if i had a nickel for every time the best friend duo that was the cornerstone of an entire trilogy got split apart at the end of the 3rd movie, ruining the entire trilogy for me, i'd only have 2 nickels, but it's strange that it's happened twice

#BUT FOR REAL THO #the entire lord of the rings i kept thinking that sam and frodo were gonna get together #but i had to keep reminding myself that they're movies from the early 2000s based on books written in the 1930s (i think the 30s?) #so gay couples weren't an option #and then they just go their separate ways and i feel like the movie made it clear that they don't see each other again #and then httyd oH BOY #i understand why toothless had to leave i do #kinda #but the fact that the movie made it seem like “yeah it's sad but hiccup and astrid got married so it's not really THAT sad” is what got me #like ok got it lesson learned: all your friends will eventually leave you but it's ok cause you'll have a romantic partner for life #if you don't have a romantic partner for life well then i guess you're just fucked #it's this alloromantic Thing that society does where they treat romantic relationships as better than friendships and i HATE it #i cried for so long after i saw that movie #and the friend who i saw the movie with and who i was talking to about how sad i was #was like “i'm never gonna ditch you” #and then guess what you guys #she just stopped talking to me one day #hasn't spoken to me since #my post #ALSO I JUST FOUND OUT YOU CAN EDIT TAGS AFTER YOU HIT ENTER #SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO RETYPE THE WHOLE THING IF YOU NOTICE A SPELLING MISTAKE AFTER YOU HIT ENTER

[hollowaluminumvessel]

my little concepts! frodo looks odd but I think Sam looks great. lmk please

#lotr art #lotr #lotr fanart #lord of the rings #frodo #frodo baggins #sam gamgee #samwise the brave #gosh I love them #my dad keeps telling me that they're not gay because they don't know what gay is #and I really want to yell at him: #HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF LOVE IS LOVE? THATS BECAUSE YOU FIND LOVE WHEN YOU APPRECIATE SOMEONES LOOKS OR PERSONALITH #no they don't have a concept of gay. they have a concept of love. gay is the name we made for two boys loving so when we say “love” #we know which kind. loving someone because they're who you chose to love is literally how this works what is he on 💀 #anyway yeah that's my hot take #in the most literal sense #love is love #I mean they're not gay and I'm just feeding into my delusions but. man #forehead kisses are so homoerotic you guys they have to be something #frodo x sam

[the-halfling-prince]

Me, showing my mum the hot topic samfro gay pride shirt: look at this pride merch, ma.

My mum: Haha that's funny because they weren't gay.

Me: Interesting.

#Her argument? The shire doesn't seem like the place to be accepting of gay ppl. Like ma I hate to break it to you but that doesn't really #Doesn't really stop people from being gay #However I would like to present my interpretation of the shire: gay? Chill. You do you. #Sam's like: oh btw I'm moving in with Mr Frodo /platonic #And his entire family just: Okay we support you use protection- #my posts #lord of the rings

Samwise Gamgee gay moments compilation (20 hour version)

#h talks #i'm making a small collection of all the gay shit he does and ho boy its not even a small collection anymore #like at this point its just anytime him and frodo are together. which is essentially the whole series #that dude was fucking PINING #lotr #And yes i can recognize/understand having that kind of devotion for a friend however im choosing to be queer abt it rn

[punbeam]

istg sometimes people will be so against the idea of two men in a piece of media being sexual or romantic with each other that they'll do one of those Tik-Tok shifts into some alternate reality where men are never friends with each other... EVER

#if I have to read another comment online about how platonic relationships between two guys are rare I'm going to write a thinkpiece (threat) #1. Sam and Frodo didn't semi-homoerotically carry each other up Mt Mordor to have their friendship dismissed like this #2. Literally one of the pushes for gay shipping stuff was that men + their friends were the only well-written characters in a lot of media

[casketvamps]

um. anyway. if nobody else has my back, i know sean astin got me✌️

#saw one too many people being like ''sam and frodo can't be gay! we need more male friendships in media!! not everything has to be gay!!!'' #and i had to remember the classic. the iconic.

[meteors-lotr]

Boromir: Oh, we're like a big happy family! I'm the dad and Aragorn's the mom!

Aragorn: Why am I the mom? What gender roles are we pushing here?

Frodo: I know they're probably thinking I'm like the kid, but I'm not. I'll be the gay, emo cousin.

Pippin: I will be the kid! The hotshot! Whose only dream... is to be a star...

Gimli: I feel like I'd be a fresh outta jail uncle.

Legolas: And I'm the sassy aunt, who talks shit about everybody.

i forced my roommate to watch both LOTR and The Hobbit with me. Here are some highlights

[thinkingfandoms]

An accurate list of the best movies I've ever seen

This list also includes reasons that are all too objective and nonsensical. Avoid asking too many questions. And share what you think in the comments!

Hercules

Hercules is probably my favourite Disney movie. And I also think that's where my interest in Greek mythology started. Hades is my favorite villain from this company and he's such a mood.

The Prince of Egypt

Oh dear you don't know how much I love this movie. I know every song by heart and was lucky enough to sing them with my choir. I'm a big fan of animation and despite how old is this movie, I think it remains one of the best ever produced. I cried more times over this movie than over all the others on this list combined.

Friends & Family

I only discovered this film this year but it quickly became one of my favorites. I have never laughed for so many consecutive minutes at a movie. I approached it because it's unusual to see a gay mob-themed movie, but I immediately fell in love with all the characters and the final scene remains one of the most comic I have ever seen.

Treasure Planet

I have a soft spot for animated films about great adventures and self-discovery. Jim has been my only animated crush for years, and his story has always resonated with something inside of me (maybe the desire for adventure and his recklessness, idk). Plus, of course, "'I'm Still Here" is one of the most beautiful soundtracks ever created.

Howl's Moving Castle

One of the first films I saw by Studio Ghibli and my absolute favourite. The love stories created by this Studio are always wonderful, and this one is no different. Plus I always saw myself in Sophie (especially about the crush on Howl) and, well, there's Calcifer, what more do you want?

Les Choristes

Another thing I love: movies about music. It may be that I've been playing an instrument for years and singing in choirs, but I've always cried watching kids rediscover a new side of themselves through music and songs. And these songs are composition's masterpieces. I still remember them all by heart even though French isn't my native language.

A Christmas Carol

I'm slightly obsessed with this story, with Charles Dickens and with Christmas. I was born on Christmas Eve so you can imagine how close this theme is to my heart. I have seen several versions of this story though, and for some reason, this one remains my favourite. It may be that it's different from other more colourful versions and really shows the darkness behind the original story, idk.

How to Train Your Dragon

I literally grew up with this saga: I was 8 years old at the first film, 12 at the second and 17 at the third. I watched Hiccup grow up with me as a friend and Toothless as a fellow adventurer. I'll forever be grateful to Dreamworks for creating the best-animated saga that cinema has ever seen.

The Three Musketeers

This movie is so random that it's perfect. I watched it again recently (after like 8 years) and realized that maybe my daddy issues come from this movie: Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom and the freaking Mads Mikkelsen together, seriously? I'm not surprised it was one of my favourite movies growing up.

A Monster in Paris

The love I have for this film is enormous. I could never get over the beauty of the songs in it. The characters are so well written and Francœur will always be in my top animated characters. It's too amazing to be real.

Rise of the Guardians

I could talk for hours about this film and have not even touched the tip of the iceberg. I have an insane obsession with all the characters, starting with and especially Jack, my top animated crush for years. It's all so perfect that I don't see how people never nominate it when it comes to top animated movies.

The Hobbit

Again, I have serious problems with films about fantasy adventures. I have always preferred The Hobbit saga to its sequel because the story has always fascinated me more. And the main character especially: for me Bilbo >>>> Frodo. And then there's Thorin and Luke Evans. You know, daddy issues.

Mune: Guardian of the Moon

Another French animated movie, another obsession, another adventure, another animated character in my top. This is an example of how to do good animation. There isn't a colour out of place. The settings are authentic, the characters are original, and the adventure they make gets me every time.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

I'm maybe a Muggle, but I prefer Fantastic Beasts to the Harry Potter saga. That's not to say it's better, mind you, but it reflects me more. We all know how we Hufflepuffs (and Ravenclaws) have no real representation in the HP movies, so to be able to have at least one prequel saga starring a Hufflepuff (in which I also find myself far too much) as the protagonist is wonderful. And I have an unhealthy urge to become a magizoologist.

The Greatest Showman

It's the movie I have watched the most of these. I know every song by heart and every line too. It always manages to be a roller coaster of emotions. And it has Hugh Jackman in it.

The Boy Foretold By The Stars

I'm a big supporter of the Philippine's film company. This is one movie is gentle, funny, and not based on the usual drama between Christianity and LGBT+ people (which is what I thought when reading the plot at first). Moreover, another underrated thing, the Philippines' music company here has thrown in masterpiece after masterpiece of songs, perfect for this movie.

Bros

This is my top comfort film in the last year. It's like watching a Hallmark movie but hotter, much more sincere and gay. Very gay. And the relationship between the two main characters is so cute and sweet. And funny.

Top Gun: Maverick

I love this saga but especially love this particular chapter. I love Maverick and his relationship with Rooster, and all the other characters are so well-written. And don't get me started on the story... I LOVE it. There isn't much else to say except that Cruise is a great actor (and a terrible person).

Glass Onion - Knives Out

I love my silly little gay detective. And I have a little passion for movies and mystery series. I found this saga's chapter more compelling than the first one, and the characters gripped me more. Also I fell in love with the setting. Oh and then there are Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant.

Okay this is amazing. I just started reading the english version if lotr and they say Frodo's queer because he was born on the wrong side of the river (which i know just means he's weird but hear me out) and I honestly don't know if this is also an english thing, but in german, saying someone is 'from the other shore' is an old fashioned way to say they're gay I'M DYING -

[bethanydelleman]

Reading The Last Man by Mary Shelley and the main character Lionel is obsessed with this man Adrian:

Friendship, hand in hand with admiration, tenderness and respect, built a bower of delight in my heart... I read or listened to Adrian; and his discourse, whether it concerned his love or his theories for the improvement of man, alike entranced me. Sometimes my lawless mood would return, my love of peril, my resistance to authority; but this was in his absence; under the mild sway of his dear eyes, I was obedient and good as a boy of five years old, who does his mother’s bidding.

And at first I'm like, "Wow, you are so obviously in romantic love with this man." But then I started thinking, "Is this how men would talk about their true friendships if they weren't so frightened about being called gay?" (and they were also poets)

Now obviously, this is written by a woman, but I have to imagine that Mary Shelley heard Byron or her husband talk about their male friends this way. Or perhaps this is just how she talks about her friends and she feels like men should do the same. Do close friendships in older novels look really gay to us now because men in our culture never talk about how much their friends mean to them? Like in The Lord of the Rings, Sam saying that he loves Frodo, sounds gay to me but is that just the effect of so many men screaming "no homo" if they show any amount of normal affection for a fellow male human?

Also, if these were two female characters would I feel the same way? Maybe. But when Mary Crawford says she loves Fanny and embraces her in Mansfield Park it doesn't feel as sapphic as a man doing a similar thing.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, maybe we will finally conquer homophobia when straight guys admit that their close male friends build a "bower of delight" in their hearts.

Or Mary Shelley just spent a lot of time around bisexual men.

Brennan Lee Mulligan, *sees a prompt featuring Sam and Frodo*: "There's absolutely no way I'm letting this opportunity go by without making it gay"

I have some… Less-than-progressive takes on a lot of modern issues, most notably LGBTQ stuff, and I like to think of myself as a decent person. I was raised by a far-left single mother. I was a registered Democrat most of my adult life. Anyway so I often am compelled to feel bad about myself, to feel guilty for not being “a better ally”, but then, like clockwork and without fail, I happen upon someone like you, who is so fucking insufferable and so sneeringly arrogant and entitled that I just shrug it off like “Oh… Right. The problem is that they’re like this.” And honestly I think that sucks. I’ve been surrounded by gay people my whole life and I’m perfectly aware that they’re just normal human beings making their way through life like the rest of us, and so I know how much they hate YOU. The puling, whining, lazy and disingenuous “queers” who have never known suffering or strife but insist on cashing in on their history, who live for nothing more than arbitrarily policing people’s thoughts and speech on the internet because the concept of real-life physical consequences has never even occurred to you. My uncle was gay-bashed on his 30th birthday just for being at a bar with his partner and you want to cry foul when someone suggests that Frodo never bottomed for Sam. Get some fucking perspective. Go outside. Call your parents and fucking apologize.

i'm a homophobic democrat and i tolerate people like you. But you're an annoying queer. I demand you get the shit beaten out of you or apologize.

#this is because i said that sometimes putting platonic relationships on a pedestal is used to erase queer readings and interpretations #and defended myself when someone said not everything was about sex
