Were Sam & Frodo Lovers?

[Placebo]

I mean, seriously, they seem just a lil too close if ya know what I'm saying. Always gettin' into emotional lil hissy fits and all that crying and such.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. i think frodo was in love with sam

[murielm99]

2. My precious!

[Quetzal]

3. LOL

beat me to it :P

4. No, it was just the value of good freindship

And they had gone thru a lot together. Tolkein didn't understand why "loving" someone had to mean a sexual attraction, and I agree. If you read the books, that stuff is played down a lot in the movies

17. i don't see why "hating" someone means you aren't sexually attracted...

i have a disorder called "reverse Tolkein syndrome"....

i don't understand not sexually wanting those you

1. love
2.hate
3. are apathetic about


and yes, this is a J O K E

well, sorta...

[catbert836]

19. Okay....

I think I agree with you, kind of.

21. oh, i recall what my syndrome is called..."pervert" ;) n/t

5. Sam was definitely crushing on Frodo....

But he did end up married and with younguns, but eventually after his beard died, he moved to the Undying Lands to spend the rest of his life with Frodo.

[Placebo]

7. Really???

OoOoOoOOOoOoOoOoOoOoOhHhHhHhHhHhHhHhH!!!

8. Read my PM

And seriously, I don't know why anything's wrong with being gay, even if they were.

[Placebo]

9. You're preaching to the converted, bud.

I'm bi, but lean heavily towards gay.

[catbert836]

11. OK

Just though I'd make sure there weren't any freepers around.

[Ladyhawk]

6. Friends in peril will grow very close.

This happens in war all the time.

[Lone Pawn]

10. Very close, but not quite lovers.

I think there was an extremely deep emotional bond...just not a sexual/romantic one. I don't really see any evidence in text for one, though if you wanted to see one I see how you could.

12. That's why Galadriel gave Frodo that crystal lube dispenser

Sam was so in love with that gentlemanly Frodo.

[Placebo]

13. O M G

14. Closer Than Most... Almost Lovers... Potentially Lovers

I think they might have enjoyed spooning and holding each other tight if they slept together under the same blanket.

[Jessica]

15. Hmmmm ... Maybe Gandalf had more of an influence than we thought ...

[earthside]

16. Stereotyping

I'm not taking this seriously ... who cares? What does it have to do with the story?

But why is it that whenever two guys are fast friends, involved together in an adventure, this is always one of the first questions that comes up?

It seems like a kind of stereotyping ... usually considered unfair and presumptive.

[Liberal Veteran]

18. Is it unfair if gay people like myself say there was chemistry....

...between the two?

[murielm99]

22. I think everyone is just kidding around.

I know I am.

It never crossed my mind that they were gay.

I think they just had the bond of friendship that some people have when they go through combat together. My father is 78, but still close with one of his buddies from WWII.

20. Placebo that's the beauty of imagination

If you wanted them to be lovers go ahead with that it can be fun. If you didn't want them to be then imagine that.
