Losing my mind over how Frodo and Sam start off as “master and servant” within the Shire’s class system, but the moment they leave that system behind and are just two hobbits trying to survive in the wilderness, the entire Quest of the Ring essentially turns into the World’s Most Horrifying First Date, and they come out of it barely alive but desperately in love, and spend the next several months in the greatest and fairest lands in the world (Ithilien, Minas Tirith, Rivendell) for what’s essentially a well-earned honeymoon and when they return home to the Shire, they go “screw the class system” and literally move in together and then open their doors to Rosie and all three of them get to spend six precious months raising Elanor as one happy family before Frodo’s wounds from that First Date force him to say goodbye for a full 61 years but not before he makes Sam his heir and Sam - like a widow - inherits all of Frodo’s wealth and lives a prosperous life with Rosie because of it, and then eventually, it is Sam’s actions during that First Date that grant him the privilege to go after Frodo and get their happily ever after.
