sometimes i think the relationship between the sons of feanor and nolofinwe might have this undercurrent of the way that older brothers are like lesser fathers in that it leaves nolofinwe as this unwanted eldest almost-son to fanáro faced now with the legitimate sons in whom he is relentlessly proud. nolofinwe as both his father's bastard and, in some ways, his brother's too

I don’t get the feeling ever that celebrimbor wants gil-galad’s crown but I do get the feeling whenever he wants to do eldar-forbidden research he will cause a diversion by implying he wants gil-galad’s crown, causing a category 5 finwëan event every few centuries

i wouldn’t say that i ship samfrodo because i don’t spend any time thinking about samfrodo or writing sam/frodo fanfiction or anything but i would tell you that sam and frodo are written in such a way that not being able to see the homoeroticism is just a negligent reading of lord of the rings

a passage from lord of the rings that reads “Gollum disappeared. He was away some time, and Frodo after a few mouthfuls of lembas settled deep into the brown fern and went to sleep. Sam looked at him. The early daylight was only just creeping down into the shadows under the trees, but he saw his master's face very clearly, and his hands, too, lying at rest on the ground beside him. He was reminded suddenly of Frodo as he had lain, asleep in the house of Elrond, after his deadly wound. Then as he had kept watch Sam had noticed that at times a light seemed to be shining faintly within; but now the light was even clearer and stronger. Frodo's face was peaceful, the marks of fear and care had left it; but it looked old, old and beautiful, as if the chiselling of the shaping years was now revealed in many fine lines that had before been hidden, though the identity of the face was not changed. Not that Sam Gamgee put it that way to himself. He shook his head, as if finding words use-less, and murmured: 'I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.”

this is the type of thing i mean when i say it’s not that i ship samfrodo exactly, it’s just that i can read
