#bisexual sam seaborn

Sam Seaborn’s presidency; a brief summary:

9.30: Shots fired at an event, the president remains unscathed in secret service protection, both suspects apprehended.

9.31: President Seaborn has tripped over his own feet, broke both kneecaps. Currently en route to GW hospital.

[lassie-farce]

Yessss

That’s what I’m talking about!

Okay. Sam and Josh are gay right. Like I know they’re not I know Josh ends up with Donna but. Sam screaming “I’m here” while they wheel Josh into surgery?????? Gay as hell. “You came to New Hampshire and you got me”???? Gay as hell.

Rafael Barba and Sonny Carisi - Law and Order: SVU - Gay/Bisexual

Chandler Bing - Friends - Gay

Emily Prentiss - Criminal Minds - Lesbian

Sam Seaborn - The West Wing - Queer

TWW social media OT3 👀

This is because I got the idea for a Josh/Donna/Sam fic with President Seaborn and then I decided it would be fun to do it almost entirely in social media (twitter, tumblr, fake articles etc) - and while I haven’t written any of it yet I do have some ideas:

They have four kids - one of which was born in the second term and that means BABY HALLOWEEN COSTUMES.

Josh is both the worst and best FGOTUS ever - by which I mean he’s actually genuinely really good at like, individual meetings with people, especially people who are grieving - like this man can be so so heartfelt and sweet but also he is banned from every single social media ever, can and will tell Republicans to go fuck themselves at the Congressional Picnic etc.

Donna is SO GREAT AT BEING FLOTUS THOUGH.

A bisexual man in a poly triad marriage became President because everyone was distracted by how hot he (Sam Seaborn) was the end. They might actually end up being more irate at how left wing this man is they forget about the above tbh.

Sam being oblivious to being a thirst trap is a recurring thing. He just does not see it, which leads to hilarious moments like ‘oh yep just posting a picture of me with my babies and break instagram’ because Sam does not think about it.

*staffer wrestling Josh’s iphone out of his hand* Sir you cannot challenge John Mayer to quote ‘go fuck yourself’ from the official White House account. (This happens A LOT).

CJ and Danny’s daughters (who are @miabicicletta little flamingos creations in my head) are just like, Cackling. Also they are probably in charge of a lot of social media unofficially.

I borrowed this I’m pretty sure but CJ calling up Josh to threaten to feed his fingers to sharks if he ever posts on twitter again.

Jed Bartlet, PROUDEST DAD AND GRANDPA EVER.

He and Abbey just obliterating anyone who talks shit about their kids and grandkids because DUH.

i'm rewatching the west wing and i know this show premiered almost 25 years ago but what is tumblr for if not word vomiting about a show that premiered almost 25 years ago?? anyway. sam seaborn and josh lyman are both bisexual and dated a long time ago and decided it wouldn't work out but forgot to tell themselves that.

west wing thoughts

- sam seaborn is the jeff winger of the west wing, except sam annoys me

- so glad that cj and danny are matching each other’s freak

- that goldfish is suffering. they gave it a podium and red white and blue gravel

- it keeps occurring to me that this show started before 9/11

- i have the strangest kind of bisexuality

[lassie-farce]

There’s so much love in his eyes

Like

„Look at my beautiful boyfriend. He’s so cute when he sings weird latin songs. I love him so much”

"So who's you're favorite characters again?"

"Sam and Josh"

"Ah yes, that makes sense..."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Well it's obvious you have a type, love..."

"I have a type? I don't have a type... what do you think is my type?"

"Wistful, sarcastic, stubborn..."

"Pot, kettle don't you think?"

"Yes but I'm starting to think I was actually not your bisexual awakening..."

"... oh my god. I had the hots for Sam Seaborn and Josh Lynman..."

[obrienpolycule]

Sam Seaborn is also bisexual and no one can change my mind about this

Josh Lyman is bisexual and no one can change my mind about this

[maverickcalf]

If Sam Seaborn isn't Bisexual why is he wrapped Bi colors in episode 2.16?

modern josh lyman headcanons

oh my god here we go more of my modern west wing au!

similar to sam, it is non-negotiable that josh lyman is a complete and utter disaster of a bisexual man. every day of his life is a fight for survival. he may as well be declared an endangered species. actually, yes he's going to call the world wildlife foundation rn because then he could give out those certificates of “adoption” that come with hyper-realistic stuffed animals like

except they’d be plush joshs that he can scatter throughout the west wing (especially amongst charlie’s belongings) 

okay moving on

his favorite movie is mamma mia, he cries every time. 

he refuses to use apple products, takes way too much joy in being the only green text in the group chat, and endlessly makes fun of donna for wearing airpods 

he nearly strangles himself the next day when his wired headphones get caught in his scarf 

he has a finsta (fake instagram) account that he pretty much exclusively uses to shit talk, it’s very popular, even with republican congressmen. one day, he gets a scoop from a reporter that follows the account about a republican crossing the aisle on their latest bill, and josh almost has an asthma attack while trying to explain to leo how he knows and why leo is forbidden from seeing the post 

the president is making him (really the entire senior staff but he’s the only one impressionable enough to go through with it) learn latin on duolingo. it’s not really working but josh likes showing bartlet that he’s leveled up :) 

josh can’t function if he’s not listening to a true crime podcast, the more grusome the better. the most expansive social security platform this country’s seen in decades was written to a soundtrack of “wine and crime” 

josh isn’t out, and categorically isn’t dealing with that. or at least he wasn’t planning to up until he gets too fired up with senator matt skinner in the white house mess late one night and accidentally blurts out, to a republican senator of all people, that he’s bi just to make the point 

[cue a very stressful, tearful conversation in the oval office]

josh, it’s my catholicism, not yours. no i’m not going to fire you.

every third saturday of the month he plays among us with zoey. she’s a pathological liar, honestly it terrifies josh. he’s god awful at the game, so much so that zoey convinces everyone he’s the imposter pretty much every round. he’s only broken one mouse over the injustice. zoey’s sure she can get him to punch the monitor before midterms. 

josh is a social media darling. he lives on it, and only causes  minor national security threats once or twice a month. most recently, he caused the FTC to open an investigation on the Bartlet Administration for inside trading thanks to his ongoing beef with the Taco Bell account.  

he’s got a bit of a thing for tom brady, which is problematic for several reasons including but not limited to: (1) brady’s obviously a republican and almost certainly not into dudes (toby is skeptical), (2) he keeps winning superbowls so his team keeps showing up to the white house for photo ops which toby spares no expense to embarrass/fluster josh, (3) bartlet, a tried and true son of new england himself, is of course also a patriots fan which means josh gets stuck every week coaching bartlet on his fantasy team 

margaret has won the west wing league three years in a row

josh is certain that she’s colluding with the russians 

he’s addicted to tiktok, specifically this weird niche community of stay at home moms preparing their kids’ school lunches. he finds it cathartic. 

cj says he’s projecting some long, unresolved childhood trauma and should probably tell his therapist instead of venting in the comment section of shannon’s cream cheese raspberry roll ups. 

cj’s a fucking narc, that’s what she is.(and he’s so not sharing his roll ups with her tomorrow) 

there for sure will be more of these. in the meantime, check out my modern au fic, which is going to turn into a series of loosely connected one-shots!
