BORN TO RUN.

SAM EVANS ★ 26 ★ NUMBER 6 Nashville native. Son, brother, friend. Dog enthusiast. Lover of all things Marvel. Hi there, I'm Sam. Sam I am. And I don't like green eggs and ham. I'll also never stop attempting that joke. Anyway, I'm currently living in the city that never sleeps, trying to make it with my guitar in some coffee shops. Until that big break you can catch me showing off some mad waiter skills at the Manhattan Diner. You may also see a comic I draw circulating 'round the internet somewhere. SINGLE ★ BISEXUAL

TEXT ✉ BLAINE ⇄ SAM

BLAINE: Don't mention it, man.

BLAINE: I did! Here, let me send a few to you.

BLAINE: Sebastian paid for a private overwater villa, so we had direct access to the ocean. It was so amazing.

BLAINE: I'm glad to hear that, Sam. I feel like we should catch up in person. Dinner?

SAM: Holy crap that looks INSANE

SAM: I don’t know how you found the willpower to come home from that. I’d just quit my job and become a recluse to stay there forever

SAM: Yeah totally. That’d be great. There’s kind of a lot to catch up on now that I think about it

quinninthecity:

That is quite the shift and quite the accomplishment. Congratulations, Sam. 

Thanks, Quinn. It’s really, really exciting. Sometimes things just come at you when you least expect it so yeah, definitely a big change, but a welcome one.

puckingactually:

Damn, man… that’s pretty awesome. So you could become like the next Stan Lee, huh? Guess it’ll be nice to say I know you way back when.

Seriously, though, buddy, congrats, but if you still ever feel the itch to pick up that guitar, you know I wouldn’t mind just jammin’ with you.

Man, that’s a comparison I never would have imagined but you got me all sorts of emotional about it over here.

Music’s not going away, bro. It’s still my thing. I’m just thinking maybe it’s more just the love of my life than my end goal. I dunno. Guess I’m thankful for my twenties helping me figure shit out, ya know?

mrlyactually:

That is amazing! It’s about time someone recognized the brilliance that we’ve all seen, even though you’ve deserved it for a while. Let me know when I can get a hard copy, and maybe I can get an autograph or two? Or five, but I don’t want to tire out your hands.

Oh man, you can have as many copies as you want. Just promise you won’t sell my autographs when I get super famous. Kidding, kidding. In all honesty this is all in the beginning stages so I don’t actually know how long it’s going to be before it becomes a reality, but it’s crazy.

snixxactually:

Oh my God, Sam. That is amazing, congratulations. We have to do something to celebrate.

Thanks San. I’m super excited to see where this goes. I’d really like to see you again, yeah. Would you wanna grab drinks this weekend? I want to hear more about your dance studio thing too. Lots to celebrate.

TEXT ✉ BLAINE ⇄ SAM

BLAINE: I love it. You're really good at what you do, Sam.

BLAINE: It was amazing! The beach, that endless sea of blue, and the view we woke up to every morning... It's safe to say that I'm suffering from withdrawals.

BLAINE: How was /your/ trip?

SAM: Thanks, bro. That means a lot, really.

SAM: It sounds amazing. I wanna see pictures!! I hope you took a bunch so I can live vicariously through you.

SAM: Oh, it was awesome! Thanks for asking. Definitely a new experience all around.

So I have something crazy and sort of surreal to share.

I was approached by a publisher a little while ago who planted an idea in my head that I’ve been sitting with and reworking for, like, a long time. For those of you who don’t know, a couple years ago I created this web comic called Captain Mundane that stemmed from a joke idea I had when I was a teenager. It sorta skyrocketed over the years. And now there are publishers who want to make it a hard cover book. Like, an actual book. That I write and illustrate. And that didn’t seem like something that was ever in the cards for me, not only because of dyslexia but because I was so focused on music, but now I’m thinking I could see this being my life’s work. I love art and stupid jokes and maybe this is, like, my calling. 

Anyway, I guess I just wanted everyone to know that this is happening and a lot of my focus is gonna start shifting to art more than music and it’s all super exciting!!!

smytheactually:

Sebastian was only half paying attention, sipping his drink and already anticipating the end of the conversation, but when Sam brought up being friends, it sparked his full attention. His brows furrowed for a moment, trying to process what Sam was suggesting through his own inebriated state.  “Is this you apologizing?” he questioned. The word ‘sorry’ was never said, but as it was a word rarely used by Sebastian, he knew what it sounded like when someone was trying to talk their way around it. If he was any more sober, he’d prompt the blonde into it. “And that you want to be…friends?” He shook his head lightly in disbelief, not knowing where any of this was coming from. “Why?”

Sam shifted uncomfortably where he stood. He was really terrible at swallowing his pride after something that had festered for so long. “I don’t know if that’s exactly the right word to use,” he mumbled in response. Friends seemed like more than they could manage at the moment. But in any case, Sam was willing to try. “It’s just...it’s over, right? It was a long time ago. I think it’s just time to move on. And you mean a lot to Blaine and San and I’m sure a lotta other people I know.” He watched for a reaction, not knowing if Sebastian was going to be receptive to this at all. It didn’t help that Sam was fumbling through it. “I guess I just figured it’s not worth it to care that much anymore. You offended me once but what’s done is done. Can we just call it a truce and move on?”

Text ✉ Santana ⇄ Sam

Santana: Asking someone to be a better friend and getting nothing but white noise in return doesn't scream someone who views me as a best friend too. Does it?

Sam: I guess not.

Sam: If it were my best friend I would try to talk it through again. But I just don't know Sebastian well enough to tell you if that's the right way to go

Sam: All I know is it might not be worth giving up on just yet if you care about him

[evansactually-blog]

TEXT ✉ BLAINE ⇄ SAM

BLAINE: Senso-Pup, it definitely suits him.

BLAINE: Thank you, Sam. 😊

SAM: I thought you'd agree!

SAM: No problem at all man. Glad you liked it.

SAM: How was your trip?

[evansactually-blog]

mrlyactually:

I’d love that. Hands on and being a non-explainer actually makes sense for you enjoying drawing so much, so I’ll try to be as much as a kinesthetic learner as possible. My current goal is, and you can tell me how realistic this is, to at least impress some of my clients’ kids with pictures of dogs and cats. I feel that’s a pretty good start.

Awesome! If you ever want to make the drive, feel free to give me a heads up and we can make lunch out of it! I get it’s a long drive, and I don’t want you to feel like it’s a long drive for just a cup of coffee.

That is 100% possible. Dogs and cats can be pretty easy ‘cause you don’t have to go a super realistic route when drawing them, y’know? Cartoonish animals are usually cuter anyway. So, yeah, you’ll totally have something impressive to show! Maybe we’ll even go a little crazy and go with a lion or something.

That sounds great. I think a lunch and an art lesson all for a cute drawing on my coffee cup is a pretty good deal altogether. Does sometime this weekend work?

Kim’s Sam (@evansactually) is breathtakingly good and nothing short of amazing. Her portrayal of Sam is a combination of everything that Sam was in the show along with her own twist in an AU setting. A+++!

It’s settled, then! I believe I’d like it as well. Personally, I find that traveling isn’t always about the destination, but rather who you choose to go with. Same place, but different experiences… that sort of thing. Well, that’s the main perk of having you as a tour guide, Sam. No one knows your hometown better than you do. Is that why you’re so good with Darcy? And just animals in general? Uh- no, not exactly. It makes me sad to admit this, but there’s truly nothing fascinating about Westerville, nor the household that I grew up in. 

Sounds good. You mean those cute, little cocktail umbrellas? Yeah, I did. But you know what feels like island life to me? It’s the act of lying there on the beach with your legs stretched out, doing nothing except staring off into that deep blue and letting your mind wander as time passes by slowly. It’s the absolute best feeling in the world. We’re flying back on Tuesday, so I suppose it’s safe to say that I’ll be home latest by Thursday morning.  

Oh yeah, definitely. Like, memories you make and who you make them with. Actually, weirdly enough I’ll be going to Wyoming later this month. Which is super random and I guess there’s no real reason for it except this guy who’s really cool and comes to the diner sometimes, he needed someone to go with so he asked me. It was probably the most spontaneous thing I’ve ever said yes to ‘cause we aren’t super close or anything but for me, it’s like that, it’s about being able to say I did it, you know? I’m really excited for it. Anyway, yeah, I remember you telling me about that. I just wasn’t sure if there was anything that stuck out as like, particularly not sucky. I’m sorry to bring it up, man.

Yeah! I love those. Can you buy those for your house? I feel like that’s an investment I need to make. Ugh, you’re making me ridiculously jealous over here. I think I’m gonna live on the beach when I’m old. Be like those old people who just retire to a beach house. That’s my end goal. It sucks you have to come back at all but hey, least you have a super cute pup here to welcome you home.

mrlyactually:

Hey, I can put in a good word with them and maybe land you a spot as her artistry mentor. Honestly, I can think of a lot of people that might need your mastery to help them learn to draw non-stick figure things. (Hint, I’m one of them).

It’s near my apartment in Staten! It’s a bit of a drive for most of New York City-ers, but I think it’s pretty worth it. 

Hey, good stick figures are a great foundation for any artist. Takes a lot of dedication to put your own twist on them. But I’m always more than willing to show you some non stick figures, even though everything I do is super hands-on and I suck at explaining things. Obviously I’d be a great teacher.

Yeah, sure, it’s a drive, but I’ll take your word for it being worth it for the cute drawings. I feel like I’d totally do it.

hunteractually:

So you need to hug a… goat. Really now. You could have just started this post by warning people how lame it would be, and I wouldn’t have to lose my time reading all that nonsense.

Yeah, I took care of them growing up. Feeling nostalgic about it.

Yet you took the time to respond.

[evansactually-blog]

puckingactually:

That’s cause if a big dog wanted to, he’d go right for the nutsac. But nah, they’re too busy tryin’ to fit in your lap ‘cause they think they’re the small dogs, and they think they can fit in places their smaller cousins can. It’s ridiculous. What kinda dog is Darcy? Not that it matters, ‘cause my boys are good with meetin’ other dogs and I can trust ‘em ‘round other pets… well, dogs… can’t really trust ‘em ‘round cats, but that ain’t really somethin’ to get fessed up over ‘cause cats don’t tend to linger near dogs anyway.

…Mm, you might be onto something. A guy in law school probably wouldn’t cost for a consultation like a true blue lawyer, yeah? I’ll think on it, though… Got a night shift I gotta get ready for, and the night shift is always when the crazies come out. Gotta make sure I’m ready to take the rig out for any distress calls, y’know.

Yeah, yeah… Sleep is important for your health and all that bullshit, but if we wanna reel ‘em in, having our stomachs be cut like friggin’ glass sure as shit helps, don’t you think? And you say you’re a great wingman, but I ain’t ever seen it ‘cause you still haven’t taken me up on my offer to go out to a club. ‘Til I see it in action, it’s just words, Sammy boy.

Good point. But I do see a huge dog trying to be a lapdog ending very badly in an accidental sort of way. I can forgive that, though. He’s a golden retriever, but still a puppy so he’s still pretty small. I mean, I think he’s cool with other dogs but I’ll double check with Blaine before testing those waters. I don’t judge cats ‘cause I’m an animal lover at heart but some of them can be pretty shifty, so I don’t blame them.

I don’t think so. Especially ‘cause he probably couldn’t give you like, actual legal advice to follow to a T. Probably just some suggestions so I'd think it’d be more like a friendly thing. I dunno. Man, I can imagine. Night shifts at the diner are usually quiet but we get our random worrisome wanderer every now and then. Yours seems a whole lot worse.

But you can’t actually maintain it without a good amount of sleep either, so we’re looking at a double edged sword here, man. Well, shit, fine. That sounds like a challenge and I’m not about to say no to that. Gimme a night and we’ll go and if I don’t get you laid, it’s on me.
