kurremkarmerruk asked: I remember this exchange between Frodo and Sam so vividly. From the extended edition. Devastating. It is pain. Possibly as formative as the shot in ET of ET in the river when he's all white and dying. The moment endures. It is the exact coordinates of my agony and nausea. I think it's because by that point in the story I wasn't prepared for that kind of sensitivity in Sam,...

The Cult of Masculinity.
homotronic:
At its inception, the bear community was formed around a simple ideal: to be a community for men who didn’t fit in with the rest of ‘mainstream queerdom’.
