" Just a little human. "

Frodo is a Hobbit, I know. :/
Tbh, I was actually surprised that nobody had done this. lol. Maybe it's because there are only a few Frodo vids in here?? idk. so here folks!! enjoy. :)

I've dismissed this idea a lot, but I'd seen a video that inspired me to do this. Here ^^:
   • Tolkien's Philosophy: Why couldn't Frodo d...  

"Frodo deserved all honour because he spent every drop of his power of will and body, and that was just sufficient to bring him to the destined point, and no further. Few others, possibly no others of his time, would have got so far. The Other Power then took over: the Writer of the Story (by which I do not mean myself), 'that one ever-present Person who is never absent and never named'." — J.R.R. Tolkien

I can't edit anything else that isn't about Frodo xhsnsgauqbauga lmao. His character is so different from any other characters in any fandom— his story is so tragic and inspiring at the same time, that I just can't stop loving him. He's the only character that I could relate to. It makes me sad that a lot of people hates him, though.

Frodo belongs to a different race, but, just like a human, he has his own emotions. He has his own troubles and problems, and, just like us, he has a burden to carry. We've seen these heroes like James Bond and Indiana Jones, but they aren't the heroes that I could really connect to, nor could I treat them as an inspiration, unlike Frodo. They're action heroes— masculine, skillful, confident. Frodo is merely a hero that surrenders to his fate and tries to not waver under his burden— he is a hero filled with doubt, has his own weaknesses, but still tries to be strong, just like us.

But what makes Frodo rare? He isn't an action hero. He isn't like "Hey! Let's solve a problem by using violence!" and instead he refrains from hurting anyone, and treated Gollum with mercy, when clearly Sam told him a thousand times that he's clearly a villain. He didn't kill. He didn't harm. Yet, the entirety of Arda was saved just because of his Mercy. And that's super amazing.

"Human" seems so fitting for him. As the Ring-Bearer, readers/viewers expect him to transform from a naïve yet wise person to a stoic and strong hero, but he isn't anything like that. Throughout the Quest, he still kept his personality— he's still him. Forgiving, kind, and wise. Even though the Ring wears him down, and literally drags him to the ground, he kept going. He's trying to be strong for everyone even though it might've been easier to just lay there and listen to the Ring and give up. He didn't. He's strong.

But just because he is strong to resist the Ring a lot of times, it doesn't mean that he's already a mighty being. He still bled, wept, and fell. Did he stop? Nope.

Like, don't get me wrong— I really adore Sam as well, his strength and loyalty doesn't match anyone else, but Frodo is just... something else. For someone who had read and watched the trilogy multiple times, I still can't get tired of admiring Frodo. He just doesn't stop. He just doesn't give up. And most of all, he still protected Sam, his dearest friend, when he can. He might've snapped at him, they might've disagreed sometimes with each other (in the movies, tho, it kinda seemed like they disagreed with each other's actions more often than in the books), and all those things, but he still loves him.

He gave everything. Nobody asked him to sacrifice his own life, body, soul, and mind, but he did. :)

And there are so many other reasons as to why I love him. But this is already a long description. lmao.
