Rewatching LOTR and I don’t think we talk enough about how Samwise Gamgee is a bisexual icon.

Sam: likes cooking and gardening, enjoys a comfortable bed, practical, reasonable, and will absolutely fight a motherfucker for his friends even if it means he’ll get his ass kicked.

Sam: loves bookish soft Frodo and ALSO likes tall Rosie (she’s taller than Sam anyway) who probably has to daily forcibly break up fights and shit at the tavern.

Honestly I wish we learned more about Rosie but since Tolkien wasn’t that interested in including more than 5 or 6 women in the series overall let alone give them much characterization I can only fill in the blanks.

I also identified a lot with Eowyn growing up but that’s probably not that unusual.

Do you think there are any Nazgûl stans out there?

Tbh I think it would be excellent for some literature on orcs or Haradrim who just hated Sauron. Surely there were dissenters and rebels? Who knows if Tolkien ever conceived of nuance there, I find it unlikely but it is something I think about a lot.

Honestly though everyone is great. I forgot how much I really enjoy everyone’s characterization in the films. Even the villains are done well (although there is some questionable stuff about Grima...)
