On Your Left

What's up? Sam Evans, graphic artist for Marvel Comics and twenty-three years young. Living the dream here in Los Angeles with my pet dog, Coulson. And it won't be long before my two best friends in the whole world will be here along with me too.

Not at all– I wouldn’t joke about something like that. Thank you, Sam! It really is. In a sense I’ll get to be a part of a fairy-tale wedding, which may be my only chance. Yes I do, though it’s not for a while yet. Lots of planning to do first! 

Oh I know you wouldn’t, it’d be sacriledge. You’re welcome Quinn! Hey that’s true actually, you would be! Oh come on, that’s not true though, you’ll have your own chance. Okay, well that’s still a really cool thing! And by the time you’re done with the planning it’s going to be a huge, unforgettable wedding I bet.

Quinn: Yeah. I guess so. Honestly I'm undecided at the moment. I love that you're close to hang out with, but it's ruined my friendship with Santana, and honestly I don't know what to think of Finn and myself at the moment. Thanks, Sam. Well, yeah. You broke up with me, then started dating or sleeping with or whatever with Santana. How do I know Finn won't do the same thing?

Sam: I can understand that, I promise I do. And I'm so thankful that you're close by as well, Quinn, but I hate that it's come to this between you and Santana. And Finn has to understand your point of view on this, right? You're welcome. Well those two events didn't happen one after the other though. And one didn't cause the other either, there was no connection between them... I didn't choose her over you. And the answer to that is simple, Quinn... he's crazy about you.

I may be too excited about this, but today I booked my first Disney wedding! I’ve been dying to do one since I got into this business… it’s just funny that moving from Florida is now taking me back there. The chapel at Disney World though is grander than anything here at Disney Land. Not that I’m knocking it - I still want to visit the original park here - but I seriously cannot wait.

You’re kidding! That’s huge, congratulations Quinn! I know how you are about all things Disney, that’s like a dream come true isn’t it? I take it that means you get to travel and go back to Disney World then?

Sam: You're welcome, Q. Thank you and I do, I promise. Of course I do. Well, it sucks if that's the case, I'm still hopeful things will turn around at some point though. What, really? Are you sure? Oh okay, then that's good and I'm glad that you'll have a distraction. Thank you too. Great! :)

Quinn: No problem, Sammy. That's a relief. Yeah, it does. And here I was so excited to move here. Well, I hope so. I guess I just meant that, well, you chose her over me, and now I feel like Finn is going to as well... that's all. Just silly insecurities. Please forget I mentioned it. Thanks for that, Sam. :)

Sam: Well good then, I'm glad that it can be. Well I hope you're still happy you did move here, no matter what? I hope so too. Wait, what? Chose her over you? What are you talking about? Well I... I guess, but I'm just confused why you'd think that? You're welcome, Quinn. :)

Ha, yeah and since we’re bros we should be using the one that starts with bro. It only makes sense. Awesome. I go running pretty often, maybe you can come with me one day. yeah and if you think about it, most famous actors and actresses were theatre geeks so that’s your best way of meeting them before they get famous. No, I know. They do seem like that. I really hope that doesn’t happen. They’ve been friends for so long.. it just seems silly to let that all go because of a. guy. I’m just glad guys don’t normally fight like this. That’s so cool! Do you draw for any of the big ones I might know? Have you thought about doing your own comic book? I’m sure it’d be great. Yessir, following my dream. Oh yeah and LA is just such a cool place, I love it. 

Got that right, it’s only fitting. I wondered where you were off to those mornings, but yeah that sounds like fun! Where do you go, up in the hills? Hey, good point too. They all have to start somewhere. Me too, it’s just sad to see it all happen. I know, they were the best of friends before... and I don’t even think it’s as simple as just because of a guy, I mean Quinn’s with Finn, Santana’s... okay I don’t even know what her real point is honestly except that she feels insulted and betrayed. You and me both, man. Yeah! Well I’ve been working for Marvel lately, so some of the bigger books actually, a little X-Men most recently. I’d love to do my own some day, but that takes years to really get someone to look at your own material. Thanks Ry. That’s awesome then, I’m sure you’ll get it one day. It is, it’s just always got stuff going on.

atouchofquinn:

You’re completely right– I can’t even deny! Never thought it would be my cup of tea, but it’s crazy good. Isn’t it like next week or something? Ugh, but it’s going to be difficult not to watch back to back and having to wait every week for a new one!

And how is that going for you, Sammy?

Totally, and yes it is! Right around the corner, you’re right. True, but at least it’ll spread things out for a few weeks having to wait at least.

It’s all going pretty well right now, actually.

[bysamsbrush-blog]

atouchofquinn:

Yeah! Looking forward to it! Soon, hopefully? For sure. I still have a lot of LA to see.

Me too, and of course. Well no time like the present.

Quinn: Good then, and awww, thank you. I'm glad you still think so. I'm not surprised one bit, but I am relieved you believe me. You're welcome, Sammy. Honestly, I don't understand it either at this point. It's alright, just how life is going to be here in LA, I guess. Oh, um... it's nothing, really. No worries. Forget I said it. And well, it's actually one I booked before we moved, but it's not far from here, so that's nice. It's a good distraction. I'm glad then, Sam. And, yep! :)

Sam: You're welcome, Q. Thank you and I do, I promise. Of course I do. Well, it sucks if that's the case, I'm still hopeful things will turn around at some point though. What, really? Are you sure? Oh okay, then that's good and I'm glad that you'll have a distraction. Thank you too. Great! :)

I like broughten. Let’s go with that. Yeah, kinda, I just like to stay active. Oh cool! See, just another thing we have in common. Yeah, a lot of people thought it was weird once I started getting into theatre and stuff but it’s a lot of fun honestly. Yeah, Quinn’s mentioned a few things to me but I haven’t heard the whole story so I’m in no place to judge. It just sucks that they’ve been friends for so long and it may all end now. Oh yeah, same. Family then food. So what kind of stuff do you do for Marvel? You’ve gotta show me some of your stuff sometimes. I love comic books. Kinda same as you, career. After high school, I moved to New York to do acting, and yeah theres opportunities out there but it’s mainly theatre not film. And theres more opportunities out here for me to grow as a screenwriter. 

Sounds good to me, because it starts with bro. That’s great, and yup, so do I. It is, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with liking theater. People just need to lighten up. Nah I understand, of course and I’m not asking you to either. I know, more than anything else I hate that too, that they’re really seeming like they’re getting to the point of no return when everyone was so excited they were coming out here before. Totally! I’m a graphic artist, it’s a lot of drawing for different books mostly, not so much coming up with my own stuff yet as drawing for existing books. Sure man, you bet I can do that! Oh yeah? That’s awesome then, so you’re following your dream? That’s perfect, and especially becoming a screenwriter, this is totally the place for it.

ryderx-lynn:

Bring it. Yeah, they did. Now i’ts like we were meant to be roommates cause we both have nicknames like that. Oh god, high school. I don’t know, I mainly played sports like football, basketball, and a little wrestling. I did a few of the school plays too once I realized how much I really liked acting. What about you? What were you like back in high school? Yeah, Santana seems super pissed. And it seems like Quinn just wants to move past this, but I don’t know if San is gonna let up. Oh cool! I heard the BBQ is great there. What made you move to LA? 

It’s brung. Brought? Broughten? Whatever it is, it is. I think you’re right, this was fate all along. Oh sweet, yeah? That’s a pretty athletic background you got there, and cool! Back in high school, actually it sounds like a pretty similar background to you. I played football and baseball, got a little into music and art. I’d like to think I was well rounded and all that. She is, and if you ask me she’s got no right to be. She escalated this whole thing, Quinn was a little miffed she got left out of plans with Santana and Finn and then suddenly Santana got it in her head that Quinn’s jealous and doesn’t trust her with him. And now it’s world war 3. That’s what I’m getting too, and yeah... she doesn’t generally let up with anything. Ever. Oh it is, other than family it’s what I miss the most about home. Pretty much for work, it was easier to network and break into the graphic arts world out here and get on Marvel’s radar. How about you, what brought you out here?

[bysamsbrush-blog]

atouchofquinn:

I’m usually one to finish a show completely, even when it slows down. I took a break from The 100, but thank goodness Sam talked me into starting it up again, because I literally stopped right as it was picking up! Now I’m addicted once again and trying not to binge watch it all within a week. The temptation is real. Good thing Prison Break is almost here too.

How’s everyone else doing in the City of Angels?

Told you! Give in to the Netflix, it’s worth it. And oh yeah, Prison Break is right on the verge of being back isn’t it?

No complaints here, just working for the man and all that.

[bysamsbrush-blog]

atouchofquinn:

Thank you, Sammy, and sure! I’d love to, actually. It’s one of the things I’ve been most excited to see, and I haven’t made it there yet.

You’re welcome, and awesome then! Aw, yeah? Well then it must happen.

TEXTS || SANTANA & SAM

Santana: But you ain't denying it.

Santana: Jesus, now that Quinn is back in the picture you're so not fun. Like sometimes when I tease, it's for a reason. But now you like take everything so damn personal. If you ever took the chance to really get to know me, you'd get me. But that's never really been something you seemed down to do.

Santana: Nah son. You don't get it twisted. Here's a little Snixx for you. This all started because me and Finn had plans to get to know each other as friends. One on one. Just like you and Quinn can have plans to kick it on your own with no one caring. She thinks I'm a huge slut and is basically painting a picture that she doesn't trust me around Finn. It's funny how it's all a-okay when you two are being friends but god, call the whambulance if me and Finn do the same. The double standards are complete bull shit. And here we go with the whole 'I've known Quinn longer'. I don't care. I'm allowed to have friends and be myself. It's not my issue that she's so intimidated by it and can't trust me after all these years she's known me.

Sam: If I tried to you'd just call me a liar, it's a no-win situation.

Sam: This has nothing to do with her, I just don't see how I'm supposed to take it positively. When did I ever get the chance to get to know you? It's been like this since day one.

Sam: Big difference Santana, we were catching up and grabbing a burger. Not going out on the town in a majorly public way and being spotted by the paparazzi practically the first time you'd ever met. But you seem to have all the answers with this, so why are we even talking about this and going around and around with it all? Look, nobody's ever said you aren't allowed to have friends or be yourself, but this you versus the world attitude makes it damn hard to want to be.

Quinn: You're welcome, and I hope you already knew that. What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't? Oh, so she went on that spiel with you too? Figures. I'm glad you believe me though. Absolutely I am, and also proud of your talent. Believe me, it's true. She's trying to pit everyone against me, so I've just been laying low, even with Finn. Just kind of staying in my bubble here. Well... nevermind. I get it. Seems like you're not the only one she's worked her magic on. No problem, Sam. And sure, I'm free pretty much whenever, just have a wedding this weekend. Yep, and great! I'm not surprise. It's the best thing, Sam.

Sam: Oh I did, I promise. Only the best kind, regardless. Pretty much yeah, she did. I do, of course I do. And thank you for that, very much Quinn. I just don't get it at all, what her game is or why she's lashing out. I'm sorry you've had to stay in your bubble though. What does that mean? You are? Great... wait, you have a wedding already? You work fast, Q, wow. I'm really happy with the arrangement and with him. Well good then! :)

[bysamsbrush-blog]

atouchofquinn:

I appreciate it. Just trying not to get in too deep, either. Hey, that sounds like fun, sure! I’d like to see that! Can we maybe see the Walk of Fame too?

Any time. And I understand, of course. Okay, cool then! Sure, I think that’d be cool if you wanted to?

Alright man, any time lazer tag place, I’ll take you. Hey, people used to call me Ry Guy, so I’m gonna start calling you Sam the Man! Yeah for real! Dude, I know. They’ve both said little things to me, but honestly, I don’t even know what they’re fighting about. I just want them to be cool again. Definitely! Where are you from? 

You’re so on, Ryder. Did they? I like that then, Ry Guy. So what was Ryder Lynn like back in high school? Man. Have they? The lines have gotten a little blurred lately more with what it’s about, really, but me too. I hate that there’s tension between them. I’m from Nashville originally.

TEXTS || SANTANA & SAM

Sam: I won't lie, that's part of it, yeah.

Sam: Who said anything about impressing? There's a big difference between fronting and showing the smallest bit of support, but whatever. You keep telling me you have less than zero interest in it, so why would I? Next time, don't worry about saying anything, okay? And give me a break, San, she or anybody else are allowed to be positive about my work. I don't work in a bubble, support is always nice whether it's from Quinn or Finn or anyone else.

Sam: I have no idea what you're talking about. Am I happy she's in town now and living closer? Of course. Same as I am Finn's around too. Nobody's said you can't be friends with Finn, from what I've been able to pick up on, it's the fact that you took him out on the town and left her out completely that started this whole thing. That's it, plain and simple. Don't be gross, San. And if you're talking about back in college, she and I didn't work out. That's it. She wasn't mine to hand over, she had a mind of her own and Finn was there for her. They got together all on their own. I don't get why you're obsessed with any of this anyways.

Santana: Yeah, well I'm a bitch. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've realized it.

Santana: But I'm not your girlfriend and you sure as hell don't treat me like a friend. So, I mean what exactly do you expect from me? It's not like you're asking about my school work or what I wanna do. You don't really ask me about any of that shit. So I'm sorry I don't just bow down and try to be that side piece rooting for you. You do you, I do me and sometimes we've done each other. But there's no other really mixing or caring going on.

Santana: But like, if you take Quinn out that's mad cool and all gucci right? You two kick it and it's fine, but I get to know him for her sake and to see who she's dating and all that, but it's all on me. Finn can just follow her around like a puppy dog and he's good, even though he lives with her, but I gotta be the one that everyone looks at as a bitch. I wouldn't give a shit if you two went together and Finn admitted he wouldn't either so I really don't get it? Finn said he asked you if it was cool for him to date her and you said yeah, so I'm just going by what I was told. I can just see all the flirting going on and I got my eyebrow raised, that's all. I'm not a pull over like the rest of you.

Sam: That's putting it harshly, San, and you know it.

Sam: I never claimed you were my girlfriend, but I sure as hell have asked you about your classes before. I can't help it if you don't really like to share much, but I've asked you before. Again, there's a huge difference between bowing down and basically being civil. That's not my fault, you know.

Sam: Don't get things twisted here. This all started because you excluded her, end of story. And this idea you have of Finn following her around like a puppy dog doesn't seem right to me either, like he's some kind of weak-minded guy. Sure he asked, but she wasn't mine to hand over, we weren't dating anymore. Flirting? Oh give me a break. It's called being friends.
