It will forever astound me that some people read the moment where Sam vows his one and only wish is to return to and die beside Frodo’s body, and then proceeds to abandon the mission on which the entire fate of the world lies, knowing he’s dooming the Shire, because he can’t leave Frodo even when Frodo is apparently dead, and would rather make a suicidal attack of revenge on the Orcs … some people actually read that moment and yet DON’T believe that these two are madly, hopelessly, completely in love…
Beats me.

Frodo: Sam hates Gollum, but that is what I shall become once I have lost myself to the ring... he’ll despise me...
Sam if Frodo did turn into a Gollum: That’s a very nice fish you caught with your bare hands, Mr. Frodo, and its very smart of you to eat it raw, saves us the trouble of starting a fire. I knitted you a sweater in case you get cold running around in that loincloth of yours. Is the sun hurting your eyes? I’ll kill it if it’s bothering you. I’ll kill the sun

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 Fili and Kili’s passing 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.

Eddie, Lord of the Rings fan that he is, looks up at Steve Harrington carrying him out of the upside down and says, "I knew you'd carry me out of here, Sam." He then promptly passes out.
Cut to Steve spending weeks jealous of Eddie's boyfriend "Sam" that Eddie obviously mistook Steve for. He just can't seem to figure out who it might be and when they're meeting up. He wishes Eddie would just tell him about his boyfriend. Steve can be supportive even if his heart is breaking.
