More prevalent in the novels than the movies, particularly ''Return of the King''. In fact, when Sam is battling Shelob to save Frodo, Tolkien specifically describes him as having the ferocity of a wild animal defending its '''mate.''' * And don't forget: the author also wrote that ''Sam tenderly took Frodo's hand and blushed''. Line 7 ⟶ 9: ** [[Legolas By Laura\|When Legolas was his age, they did the same thing to him.]] Ok, I know that hobbits had different lifestyles, beliefs and that they showed their affection differently, but this is a little exaggerated. I don't think other hobbits were expressing their attachment towards their male friends so obviously, like Sam does towards Frodo. This written summary makes [[This Troper]]'s point of view clearer: {{quote\| On what's essentially a very long camping trip, Frodo sleeps on Sam's lap while they embrace tenderly. After attacking Shelob in a jealous rage (''You will not touch him again!''), Sam admits he wants to marry, but reveals his heart is torn between Frodo and his bride-to-be. Finally, he comes out with it: holding Frodo's hand and declaring how much he loves him. }} This troper likes to think that Frodo and Sam had a [[wikipedia:Romantic friendship\|romantic friendship]] thing going on. No, really, even in [[Real Life]], the [http://i40.tinypic.com/2hdzdqx.jpg actors][http://images7.fotki.com/v106/photos/2/20909/691168/seanlij-vi.jpg are] [http://11.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krk6k2HBC01qzyw65o1_500.jpg suspiciously] [http://images25.fotki.com/v953/photos/2/20909/691168/seanlijnzprem003-vi.jpg close.] They appear to take Sam's and Frodo's relationship seriously and they apparently [[Unfortunate Implications\|don't know the implications of that.]] Line 20 ⟶ 22: * Not to mention the words between Aragorn and Éomer when they meet at the battle of the Pelennor Fields... * Did someone forget about Aragorn and Boromir? The heartfelt, almost desperate confession in Lothlorien... And of course: My brother, my captain, my King. Boromir is the first person to acknowledge Aragorn as King, and basically propel him into wanting to be King at all. == ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' == * The gender ratio being what it is, it's easy to see lots of [[Ho Yay]] in ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' as well.
