frodo took the ring to mordor out of the sheer need for it to be done, he didn’t have to do it or suffer so much but he did because he wanted to save his home and a world full of people he had never known, he was brave and strong in the face of a temptation that brought down kings and dealt with its poisoning, even if it drove him away from people he loved and brought hell on his body, and he took it as gracefully as he could manage, he did that for middle earth, there’s not a selfish or contemptible bone in his goddamn body and you need to fucking respect him
