#Sam x evan

[fangirls-just-want-to-have-fun]

Brennan is just fucking with us at this point because what do you mean in the the span of less than twenty minutes he both made the conscious decision to have Evan snuggle with Sam (and thus that ENTIRE scene) and then also dropped the line "There are things that are so worth protecting that they are worth killing for." I know he knows DAMN WELL

[thecoddaughter]

Sam knows, deep down she knows, but she has to see it. Over time, the less connection she felt with people the less she saw the lines. She never liked to believe in the golden thread or red string of fate. Destiny was not a word she particularly liked. If destiny was real, Evan would be dead, but Evan wasn't dead. She had saved him. She would keep saving him. Breaking her wand wasn't dramatic nor was it loud. In fact, it wasn't even all that hard. When your best friend––the man you love––has that familiar crushing weight on his chest, its like a mother lifting a car. Maybe it wasn't that hard because someone else was already there, prompting the break––always stalking that sneaky Tad. Now protecting. Evan had more protection than ever. The book was in Jammer's hands. Evan was in Sam's arms. The air mattress was deflated and they were falling in on each other but she didn't mind. Before this––before falling asleep and rediscovering demons––Evan mentioned coming to stay with her. He was picturing couch... She was picturing this. She shook the thought out of her head and hesitantly rolled out of the bed as he began to stir and the voices of K and Jammer got louder outside. Planning was happening. The two were bonding, K and Jammer; the lines Sam had missed so were glowing brighter. She glanced back at Evan as he deflated the mattress and wondered if all his admiration was just that––full stop, he's like that with everyone... but differently. She thinks this throughout the day. He is complimenting Jammer, holding him by the arm, insisting in the way that only Evan can, but it's different. He isn't calling Jammer the greatest wizard of all time. He's just calling him their leader who is full of magic no matter what reality is. Sam doesn't know what reality is. Sunday breakfasts with slow mornings and finally seeing Evan settled down and soft––not in the e-boy way K craved but in that softness you get when you can be yourself without defenses; how he is with Sam in the small moments. Engaging and calling upon Sam Butler of all people, though he has never known her as that. Sam shakes out of it, moving her gaze away from him and back out into the storm.

guys look at her face during the air mattress scene aabria is WITH US

I do understand and respect the perspective of people who feel like Sam/Evan as a ship might lead to a flood of content that centers Evan in their relationship.

The truth of the matter though, is that people don't need Sam and Evan to be romantically involved to do that. They can just as easily center Evan in a plantonic version of this relationship, because he's the only character they're actually interested in. Jammer after all is not exempt from the Evan phenomenon in this fandom. People center Evan in that platonic relationship all the time!

And that's not to say you have to give the ship a chance or anything. This is not a defense or piece of advocacy for Sam/Evan, because the problem is not actually whether or not people ship something or don't ship something. It's that some people don't care about Sam as her own character.

Someone can ship Sam/Evan and absolutely center Evan or they can insist that Sam x Evan is the world's most platonic relationship and then still choose to center Evan!

Shipping is a false indicator for care or lack of care, it's not tracking the actual thing you care about, not completely.

If the only time the person has ever posted about Sam (or Jammer, or K) is in regards to either they're romantic and platonic relationship with Evan (regardless of which side they come down on) I think you should take that as the stronger indicator about how much they actually care about her.

At first I was kinda surprised people shipping Sam and Evan but wasn't against it really, I just tought "well they are besties" (but I'm also aroace so that probably played)

BUT watching the last episode were they are cuddling on the air mattress, thinking about the couch conversation again and the whole "but you're Evan" like he is just THAT person to her.

I see it you guys and I love it now ! In season 1, I didn't see really k and evan really together but I understood why they were, just why they would kinda fall into this relationship but at some point seeing that it didn't work

Because Sam and Evan are just so sweet together, Sam is just so cool and I want someone that she is comfortable with

She likes him bc he is him and doesn't need more than that, she just wants him in her life

Of course Evan is totally worshipping her and that makes so much funny scenes but I love seeing him uplift her and reassure her how fucking cool, sweet and just the best she is

[arayofliteralsunshine]

I am now convinced Brennan Lee Mulligan is a samxevan shipper. He licked her blood? He wants to be her dog?? Her good boy?!?? He knows exactly what he's doing with those shoulder pats.

[hhayfever]

They’re everything to me rn……

[allybeardsleycamoshirt]

evsam is so good bc it’s giving bodyguard au lady/knight au rich girl/stable boy au cafe/florist/tattoo artist/bakery/bookstore etc au AND it’s giving master/dog dom/sub AND it’s giving friends to lovers hurt/comfort fluff angst smut and I think we should all just. get on that

[worshippin]

*wakes up in the middle of the night* sam and evan are drift compatible

[blackcrystalball]

It's not that I didn't not get it before, but I 100% see it now.

Bridal carrying Sam, making a hammock with his body and his little broom carabiner. I understand Sam x Evan in a way I didn't before.

My eyes have been opened. Thank you Danielle for asking that question.

Evan's desperation for belonging and his interaction with Sam. I will vom, omg I love this. I fucking see it now, I'm having a galaxy brain moment.

"I really missed you."

Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure.

Sam and Evan having a really deep heart to heart and remembering the connection that has always existed between them:

Anyway it's not my otp but I think Sam x Evan would be fun because I keep picturing Sam being the very famous very beloved host of a TV show that is internationally acclaimed and the obssession her fans would have with the fact that she's dating Evan, who to them is 'just a dude'.

I think Evan would see Sam's fans call him boring but nice enough and speculate why Sam broke up with Timothee Chalamet to date a nobody, and be so stunned that such a large number of people could be aware of his existence and have the prevailing opinion that's he completely uninteresting that he may start crying tears of joy.

I think that Evan would take Sam seriously, because he's fundamentally aware of how capable Sam is, and more importantly of how afraid and aware she is that other people don't. Evan wouldn't let thoughtless or intentionally rude/snarky comments about Sam slide regardless of what setting they were in, and this would be good for Sam because she has someone to back her up and remind her those people are being shitty to her. (This would also endear a large part of her fanbase to Evan).

Also I'm still of the opinion that Sam and K dated before Gowpenny so I think it's absolutely very funny and in keeping with my own queer friend groups to think of one person's exes starting to date each other but also that person's current dynamic with each ex are wildly different.

And finally, I think Jammer would be extremely glad that he is not involved in any of that but he would send Evan all the funniest memes Sam's fans make about her boring af boytoy and listen to K panic about what to get their exes for Christmas.

Whatever this was it could not be true. She had enough complicated feelings about complicated feelings. Her ex was probably dead; K let him die. Another complicated feeling. K was being reckless. Sam’s childhood best friend was putting everyone including themself on the line. Sam and Evan had been talking so casually when he died. He dumped a body out the bag. Evan Kelmp says he will kill. Another complicated feeling. He has killed for K. Yeah, she stabbed Tad three years ago to save the school—whatever he did to Budaca was straight up murder. He says he would do that for Sam, kill for her. She doesn’t know if she wants that. All she knows is that she wants him. Another complicated feeling. Every conversation they have is just raising her up—greatest wizard—she wonders if this is what it is like to be her friend; she used to do this to him, always raising him up. He wants to sleep on her couch. He wants to be her dog. She could be reading into it all wrong; she never wants to read into their situation. Another complicated feeling. A situation. That’s what this is. He’s K’s ex and she’s K’s best friend and he’s her best friend and she’s catching feelings. But you don’t catch feelings on the dangerous mission—the life or death mission. You just don’t do that because if he dies then nothing in the world is right. Her house will feel empty even though he’s never been in it. Her life will be empty. She was regretting not being more persistent, the weak part of her brain wished she had begged him to come and visit. Because what if it was too late. She could die tomorrow and he’d never know she loved him. Another complicated feeling. This was love. She knew it was. There was no denying it anymore.

Sam/evan shippers, how are we doing? 👀👀👀

[dropoutconfessions]

I've really gotta say something. I understand the way the world is, and that racism is still a very real problem in the world. I get it.

But people trying to say that it's racist not to ship Evan and Sam are really reaching.

Platonic relationships are really important. It's fine and okay and good actually to value those just as much as romantic relationships.

I don't care whether or not you ship them. But calling somebody racist for not wanting to see two people be romantic is not only the biggest stretch I've heard, it's also just not true, fair, or healthy.

for my sam x evan lovers, here's a snippet of the fic i'm working on for them 😘

it will basically be a slow burn prequel of the two of them maybe falling in love before season 2? i'm really basing this off of the idea that they are the only two of the pilot program that came into contact within the years of leaving gowpenny and episode 1.

i hope you enjoy!
