'Trapped in the end!' said Sam bitterly, his anger rising again above weariness and despair. 'Gnats in a net. May the curse of Faramir bite that Gollum and bite him quick!' 'That would not help us now,' said Frodo.
Sword in hand Sam went after him. For the moment he had forgotten everything else but the red fury in his brain and the desire to kill Gollum. But before he could overtake him, Gollum was gone. Then as the dark hole stood before him and the stench came out to meet him, like a clap of thunder the thought of Frodo and the monster smote upon Sam's mind.
Now he tried to find strength to tear himself away and go on a lonely journey – for vengeance. If once he could go, his anger would bear him down all the roads of the world, pursuing, until he had him at last: Gollum. Then Gollum would die in a corner. But that was not what he had set out to do. It would not be worth while to leave his master for that. It would not bring him back. Nothing would.
Sam and vengeance in today's entry
#idk i have Thoughts about this... rambles ahead...#there's an interesting arc here with how sam approaches his feelings of vengeance in this entry#starting with the first quote. frodo's response to sam is so brief and doesn't get much time to sit with all the action going on#but i feel like it speaks volumes#at least in showcasing the different points they stand on#sam centers his resentment and feelings of revenge... he's quick to get frustrated and immediately goes for threatening gollum#meanwhile frodo is focused on getting out. he doesn't have time to nurse anger nor does he want to#it feels like he's advising sam to move past it because he knows it's futile to stay stuck in those feelings#then there's sam's fight with gollum#after days and weeks of building tension from his mistrust towards gollum... this is where the dam finally breaks#sam's been feeding into his resentment for SO LONG it's no wonder he gets into this state of blind fury towards the end#he set himself up to seek vengeance the moment he gets the opportunity#which in some way i'm sure does help him in fending off gollum... that strength had to come from somewhere#but once he's staved him off he continues to fixate that anger on gollum and forgets what he originally set out to do-- protect frodo#and then we're left with the final quote...#it isn't until sam has (perceived to have) lost everything that he is able to come to the conclusion that vengeance won't serve him#...a lesson learned a little too late?? maybe?? no?? it feels cruel to say that#i definitely do not want to take the position that sam was responsible for what happened to frodo#he was pinned in a horribly desperate situation and couldn't do much once gollum attacked#i don't think much would've changed if he hadn't had his moment of fury with chasing gollum#anyways newbie here-- i haven't read anything ahead from here so idk what character arcs await sam#but i'm interested to see if this is later built upon or acknowledged#end of rambles skdfjgkdjsfg#lotr newsletter#lotr newsletter march 13th#EDIT: I forgot to space the quotes out 😭#not a crime but they can get confusing to read when scrunched together hrnnnn

Can you do like tommy was streaming and like y/n’s mom called and then told him that y/n was in a car accident and is in the hospital?
😨
Okay-
Sorry if it's a bit shitty, i can barely write angst and please just pretend that Tommy can drive
I also made this have a happy ending since i don't want Y/n to die in every single angst y story i write
edit: OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY I FORGOT THIS IN MY DRAFTS 😭 IM SORRY YOU HD TO WAIT THIS LONG
Key words: y/n - your name ; y/m/n - your mum's name
Tommyinnit x reader (readers gender not mentioned, but there may be a few she bombs dropped accedntaly)
Warnings: angst, mentions of a car accident
Tumblr media
It was a normal day for Tommy, he was streaming with his friends, the chat was quoting memes and or sending stickers, when his phone rang
He looked at it to see 'Y/n's mom calling' he picked up the phone
"Ohoho chat, Y/M's mum is calling, seems like she can't get enough of me." He said as he let out his signature laugh and muted himself
He picked up the phone as he wiggled his eyes at the camera
"Oh Tommy! In so glad you picked up, you need to get to the hospital, now." Her mom said, it sounded like she was crying
Tommy's face quickly changed from happy to concerned
"Oh, in sorry but may I ask why?" He questioned as he looked at chat for a split second, seeing the chat was spamming thins like: 'what'd she say?' of 'Ooo Tommy speaking to a woman!', whilst some were concerned of his sudden change of expression
"I-its Y/n... They has been in a accident." Her mother said as she held back tears, his eyes widened, but he continued to listen, thinking it was a joke since Y/n's mom was the type to joke around like a teen, he was hoping it was a joke
"I- i just got a call from the hospital saying she got in an accident, and... And." She sobbed as Tommy herd her trying to muffle her cries
Tommy not knew she wasn't kidding, his hand slapped on his mouth as his eyes began to tear up
"I'll be right there." He said as he hung up, he quickly un-muted his twitch and with a cracked voice he said
"I-im sorry guys i have to cut this stream short." Without saying anything else he ended stream and left the discord call
He put on a jacket as he took the keys to his car and quickly ran outside his apartment, brining his phone with him
A couple of tears slipped from his eyes as he quickly whipped them off
Hopping inside his car he quickly turned it on and started to drive towards the hospital, tears were pouring down his face right now, and he had to continuously wipe them off as too see the road up ahead
He looked to his phone and tracked Y/n's mother's phone as to not call her to ask which hospital Y/n's at
As soon as he arrived at the hospital he parked to the nearest empty parking space and ran to the hospital, he saw Y/n's mother sitting on one of the chairs as he approached her and sat down
Y/m/n looked up, her eyes were red and the tear stains on her cheeks couldn't go unnoticed
"Oh thank God you're here." She said as a nurse walked towards them
"Ma'am, your child is awake now, you may go see them, but please go one at a time, we don't want to overwhelm them in such a state." She said as she calmly walked away, y/m/n let out a released breath, as she stood up and walked in to Y/n's hospital room, while Tommy just sat there, he was so scared for them, a tear escaped his eye as he quickly whipped it away, wanting to stay strong for Y/n
---
When Y/m/n left the room, Tommy quickly entered to see a warm smile on his partners face
"Hello Tommy, how've you been, as you can see I've been great." They joked, wanting to make the atmosphere a little less tense, it worked as Tommy laughed lightly and sat down next to their bed, he didn't want to hurt them so he only held their hand, as he kissed their knuckles lightly
"You have no idea how worried i was." He said, letting out a shaky breath
"Nah you don't need to worries about me, I'm only seriously hurt." They said, Tommy laughed quietly as he squeezed their hand gently
"Glad to see your hunter hasn't disappeared, thought you would be brain dead after the accident." He said
"Nah, I'm just more funnier after the accident, plus i was brain dead already." They joked, earning another laugh from Tommy
He sighed as he put a hand underneath their head and kissed their forehead
"I love you." He said
"Wow, you're so cheesy." They said playfully as there rolled their eyes, Tommy rolled his eyes back with a smile as he pulled out his phone, he raised his eyebrows at the notifications
"What's up?" Y/n asked, looking towrds Tommy
"The ceiling." He replied as he scrolled through Twitter
"Haha very funny, now let me see." They said as they lifted their head to look to Tommy's phone
"Twitter blew up by my sudden end of the stream." He said, "Look."
He turned the phone to Y/n, they just laughed
"What! Chats worried about you." He said
"Yeah, hey you know what would be funny-"
"No i will not post that you died." He said
"Aw c'mon, it'll be funny." They pleaded
"Fine." he said as he gained an idea
He typed something on his phone but didn't let Y/n peak untill he sent the post, he showed Y/n the post as it wrote 'Y/n said to me to tell you guys that they're dead :)'
"This makes it ten times funnier." They said as they laid back down
"Welp i think it's time for me to go." He said as he got up
"Nooooo, stay, i need company." They pleaded as they stretched their arms, doing a grabby hands motion
"I would love to, but i need business to attend to.' he said as he flattened his shirt
"Are you just gonna watch Schlatt?" They questioned
"Yup." He said
"Okay have fun! Oh and I'll maybe call you when I'm bored." They said as they waved tommy goodbye he waved back and went outside to his car, turning it on he drove to his house
For the resto of the day, Tommy watched Schlatt's videos, as Y/n died of boredom
