Sam was a ring bearer, though.
Also a ring bearer bearer
The bear of bad rings…
Sam dismissing the power of the ring is maybe my favorite part of all of the books
A Frodo bearer.
No like he literally bore the ring while Frodo was off getting imprisoned by orcs
Sam is a ring bearer. He briefly took it over when he thought Frodo was dead during the whole shelob affair. Unlike just about everyone else, he’s the only character I know of that willingly gave it up. Fuck, even Gandalf didn’t want to bear the ring because he knew it would corrupt him and he’d refuse to let go of that power.
In the book, the ring tries to tempt him by showing him a vision of a great garden, making Sam the greatest gardener in the world. Sam shrugs it the fuck off without a second thought
“Wear me, and your gardens will cover all of Middle Earth!”
“What? No! That’s stupid!”
“Look, dude, you’re not giving me much to work with here!”
People keep asking if I’m back, and I haven’t really had an answer. But now, yeah, I’m thinking po-tay-toes!
