The fact that The Hobbit is such a lighthearted family-friendly book, especially when compared to LOTR, actually breaks my heart when you consider that it is Bilbo’s writing. That journey was anything but a fun trip for him. He went through real dangers and horrifying moments. He saw violence for the first time. At the end of it, he lost his love. And he went home traumatized, heartbroken, and forever changed.
Yet when he wrote the story down, he emphasized the more successful and fun parts, and glossed over the depth of his pain and grief when the losses happened (even leaving Fíli and Kíli’s deaths to a throwaway line.)
Because what else could he have done? Nobody else could possibly understand his pain. Bilbo wasn’t like Frodo. He didn’t have a Sam who he shared the experience with and could talk to about it every day afterward, to help him work through writing down the details of the darker parts of the story. And his other friends lived far away and could only visit occasionally.
And the hobbit children were all full of wonder about Elves and dwarves and trolls, so he put the focus on that.
I feel like that was his way of dealing with his trauma.

i think that all the people who argue about gender by saying "the woke left cant even define a woman" need to get hit with the "who are you" question by a buddhist monk. no, thats your name, who are you. no thats your profession, who are YOU. no you fucking idiot thats your species, who are YOUU. dumb bitch u cant even define yourself

Pippin trying to get Merry to recognize him: “It’s me. It’s Pippin.”
Sam trying to get Frodo to recognize him: “It’s me. It’s your Sam.”
The difference between those two relationships, right there.

I just realized that when Frodo gets stabbed in the books, the first thing Aragorn does after seeing to Frodo, is to pull Sam aside. Not Merry, not Pippin. Not his two favorite cousins. Sam.
Not only that, he uses the term "your Frodo" while talking to Sam. Aragorn has known these hobbits for six days and one night and he knows:
A. Who to address when discussing Frodo's welfare.
B. That calling Frodo "your Frodo" would not be seen as offensive to Sam.
Aragorn has known them for six days and knows that Sam at the very least is in love with Frodo.

love how Sam is Just Some Guy™ who is So In Love with Frodo that he is willing to go to the most dangerous place on earth for him, he doesn't even think of the ring just of how it affects Frodo

Something about Tolkien showing absolute love and devotion by choosing your death to be with the person you love. Something about Lúthien and Beren, about Arwen and Aragorn, and choice of the death of men. Something about Sam following Frodo to the undying lands to be reunited one last time. Something about Legolas not having that choice to die together, but he and Gimli do their best anyway. Something about Tolkien and his wife having Beren and Lúthien on their grave stones, side by side for as long as the earth can hold their bodies.
