Buck's rogue tongue

Bucktommy finally managed to get me out of lurking, so this blog will be mostly focused on these two dumbasses.

Clarifications: I enjoy buddie (and buddietommy) too, but since I don't see it happening in canon and there is no general space where to talk canon without being dogpiled even by the wildest takes, this will be my space to express my opinions on that.

I do believe Eddie is canonically straight.

Feel free to say hi, I love debating respectfully expressed opinions. Minors DNI please.

I am going to start maiming.

Ball culture is NOT the same thing as ballroom dancing classes, you fucking weirdos. House Ballroom (aka: Ball Culture or the Ballroom Scene)—which evolved from Drag Balls—is NOT “ballroom dancing.” I— hmm

Also, if a man dances, that doesn’t make him fucking gay. It’s not “gay” to dance.

No, because I’m not done. I haven’t even started.

This would be like Eddie saying “I took music lessons as a kid” and someone extrapolating from that this must be a Chekhov’s Gun for his gay awakening because of how important House Music is to gay subculture in the US.

The stereotyping here is the shit sundae, the misuse and misunderstanding of Ball Culture is the cherry on top. What really gags me is the use of Ball Culture to back up the homophobic stereotyping. Because Ball Culture exists and it shares part of a name with a different genre of dance and subculture, these two things must be related, and because of this, Eddie’s dance history is evidence of his gayness

Like—this bullshit is ON TOP of the homophobic implication that Eddie’s formal dancing lessons are evidence of his queerness.

you know what? I see their flaws, but they're fictional characters, so I can love them unconditionally and hope/speculate about how they'll overcome the unhealthy habits they've been displaying. Yeah, that's it, i don't have to pick sides, much less when they mess things up makes the dynamic, complexity and possibility of reconciliation much more interesting and tasty.

BuckTommy Charity Race • Day 1

In April, we are celebrating the one year anniversary of 7x04 "Buck, Bothered and Bewildered" by coming together as a community and raising money for some great organizations. If you are able to, please join me in donating to Lambda Legal, a New York-based group dedicated to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of the LGBTQ+ community and everyone living with HIV+ through impact litigation, education, and public policy work.
