I can't explain to you why, but I feel like Sam's parents are like the embodiment of the '70s. I don't want to say Hippie, but maybe they have what some people could consider Hippieish ideas.

Like when Andrew first meets them, they have pictures of them in front of an old van that they used to travel. They compost. Her mother wears the most far-out there outfits while her dad shows off his battle scars from protest he's attended.

"That one? They wanted to tear down a beautiful piece of land just to build another strip mall. So I chained myself to a tree, but it was a pretty rusty chain. Ended up having to go to the hospital and that's where I met this cute, young nurse who stitched me right up. 'Course it was her first day on the job and she did terrible work."

"And he still doesn't let me forget it."

"Well, I was too distracted trying to come up with a way to ask for your number to realized you didn't, even thread it through right the first time."

All of this is to say that Sam's middle name would be Snowdrop or something.

And Andrew would only figure it out because they called her that when he first went over for dinner.

"SAMATHA SNOWDROP BROWN. DID YOU BRING SINGLE-USE PLASTIC INTO THIS HOUSE?!"

*hides thing* "No."

What am I doing? I should be a sleep right now...

anon, i swear you have a direct line to my brain because i was thinkING THE EXACT SAME THINGGGG like hippie parents to the max and Sam's kinda embarrassed about them, but also she loves them to bits

they definitely met at a protest and like travelled the country in a combi before deciding that they want to have a child and should probably settle down and they never get tired of telling Sam what a gift she is and how much she has enriched their lives and its just a very loving and wholesome enviroment like almost to an overwhelming degree

and Sam has to give Andrew an entire brief before they attend dinner because "under no circumstances" is he allowed to feign interest in her dad's photo albums because he will spend the entire night telling the stories behind them and i just imagine Sam's mum thinking Andrew is the most charming person ever and being completely giggly whenever he visits

asdfghjkl all this to say - yeah, Sam's middle name would probably be like "Springtime" or "Riversong" or something lmao

#like laughing at all his terrible jokes/pestering Sam about when she is bringing Andy over again/etc #yes she calls Andrew Andy and he absolutely loves it #and they were probably so amazing when sam came out to them #and didnt even think twice when sam mentioned that she doesnt think she and andrew would ever get married like in the traditional sense #thinking about them having like huge photos of sam at all her graduations on their walls 😭😭 #and gush about their daughter being a Doctor [not a medical one but that doesn't matter!!] #anon my mind is running wild right now #and my assignment deadline got extended #are you thinking what im thinking?? 👀👀 #prof!hozier #asks #you should really try your hand at writing anon [if you havent already] you are so good at coming up with SUCH entertaining situations #asdfghjkl i love it so much every time!! #also yes the Browns are definitely not a single use plastics household 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️
