This is going to be long as hell, but I really feel like some of you in this tag need some talking off the ledge, in regards to what will happen with Buck and Tommy in the long term.

For starters, I don’t think Tim Minear is going to stretch out the ‘will they, won’t they’ for much longer, and I will go so far as to say, I don’t believe he’s going to keep Buck a perpetual victim of the "hamster wheel" (I probably just lost some of you right here). This all coming from someone who is normally quite frustrated and pessimistic when it concerns the writing, character evolution, and general direction for 911 as a whole. I've been less than impressed with the show for a while now and often forget it's even a Thursday night option (especially with The Pitt right there...), let's just leave it at that.

And yet, I still think there are numerous signs, within and beyond the text, that suggest Minear and his cohort of writers may finally be doing something different here, at least, in regard to Buck’s development and, therefore, Tommy's by extension. If it turns out that I'm wrong, then I’m wrong. But I also don’t accept the notion that there isn’t, at the very least, some solid evidence pointing to something good up ahead for the pair.

If you’re still with me, click through...

#i agree with most of this#i'm just not sure oliver and lou always knew this was the plan though#i think lou had hope because he basically saw what we saw#and i feel like oliver doesn't lie when he says he's not really being informed in advance about buck's overall arc in a season#and just learns about it on the go#i feel like for some reason he actually is passive like that#and i also feel like his 'let buck fuck' was him pretty much catering to buddies#and maybe him wanting to prove to everyone how bisexual buck is#since he repeatedly said in interviews buck's sexuality isn't tied to tommy nor eddie#(duh??? wtf?)#got i got annoyed again#anyway#i might be wrong about this (i hope i am) but this is how i feel atm#who knows ​maybe it's just my pessimism talking#the rest of the post? i couldn't agree more#good job op#bucktommy#oliver stark#lou ferrigno jr#tim minear#911 abc

Tommy is so good as Buck's LI because he's just so:

  • He's familiar to the show, but we don't know him well
  • He can help in emergencies, and be the one in peril
  • He fits in private, personal, and professional scenes
  • He's easy to include (see above), but also to exclude! (different/changing shifts, injuries, especial assignments...)
  • Not a civilian, not a coworker, not someone he saved
  • He can be there for Buck, but we've seen he also needs support
  • Potentially a deus ex-machina provider: he pilots, knows muay thai, fixes cars, does karaoke trivia, he 'knows a guy'
  • At the very least accepted by the audience, plus provides SM/promo engagement because of both fans and antis.

Buck's already dated a dispatcher, a journalist, someone he saved, and now a fellow firefighter. Finding a better fit would be damn hard.

In seriousness I love BuckTommy and will continue to love BuckTommy. There’s nothing the show can do at this point short of making Tommy a murderer that will keep them from being my OTP. If Tommy dies at this point, he will always be Buck’s Lost Love, his Shannon. The words “most transformative relationship” speak to that because Buck himself supplanted Abby with Tommy in his mind and that alone speaks volumes for the love he has for Tommy. The fact they love each other is undeniable for anyone paying attention and my sincere hope is that they end the season on a good note.

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.

The show ruining all of Buck's hard earned relationships so he can have platonic scenes with Eddie every episode that do nothing but give fodder for the "journalists" instead of expanding Eddie's circle of relationships so their friendship can finally have some semblance of balance is by far the biggest crime of the last two seasons. A lazy throwaway line that Hen knew Buck was possibly queer all along doesn't make up for a lack of screen time for them.

unfuckablebogtroll answered:

I’m dead serious when I say that Timmy sacrificed the firefam on the altar of platonic Bvddie. And it was not worth it. His stupid ass “scene in every episode” nonsense from last year has done irreparable damage and now they seem to have forgotten how to write that these people are all friends in an interlocking web of relationships.

And it’s the dumbest fucking thing because you can’t tell me that Hen and Buck’s friendship is unpopular, nor is Bobby and Buck’s familial relationship! You can’t tell me that no one would want to see Chim and Bobby friendship like back in the day. You can’t tell me that Bobby actively grooming Hen for leadership wouldn’t eat!

And god! Eddie! Please make more friends! So much of his bullshit would have been great to work through with Athena or Bobby or Chim!

But no.

Tommy was right to leave Buck standing in that kitchen the morning after their hook up. Tommy hesitantly opened up and basically admitted to being worried about Buck's feelings for Eddie. He didn't say it, but it was implied. Buck's first response was to say Eddie is straight which doesn't answer Tommy's unasked question because a guy being straight doesn't necessarily stop a gay/bi guy from having feelings for them.

Then when Buck doesn't like Tommy's response (which is understandable) Buck says, "I don't have to want to sleep with everyone I had feelings for." If I'm Tommy (an insecure guy/ex) I'm hearing Buck say that he did have feelings for Eddie. Buck doesn't clarify what those feelings were though. Then he makes it worse by telling the man he slept with the night before, the same man who just asked him for a second chance that "I don't have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with." Why would Tommy want to keep talking to Buck after that? Buck immediately realizes he messed up, but he doesn't apologize, and Tommy rightfully doesn't stick around. It seems like Tommy just got his heart broken.

I'm not saying Buck was wrong to be upset. Buck is entitled to his feelings but the way he handled that was not great. This wasn't a case of Buck telling Tommy "I don't have feelings for Eddie" and Tommy not believing him. This was Buck not realizing that saying Eddie is straight is not necessarily an answer to Tommy's concern. This is Buck implying that he did have feelings for Eddie while not clarifying what those feelings were, and then kinda implying that he might not have feelings for Tommy. It was just poor communication all around and in this case, I disagree with people trying to make Buck the innocent victim. They both needed to approach the conversation differently.

#listen i'm a buck girl through and through#i will defend him with my life#but although i understand where he's coming from i'm not afraid to acknowledge that he did fuck up a little#tommy's fear of not being good enough for buck stems from a deep insecurity#making it about eddie was shitty of him to do but#when you consider how attached buck is to eddie it does make sense#to buck it was obvious eddie was never tommy's competition#but why would it be to tommy?#a man so deeply insecure that he sabotages his own happiness out of fear of future heartbreak#a man who finds it hard to imagine a world where buck has so many options yet he still chooses him#buck was RIGHT to call tommy out on that#he was RIGHT to be angry#the problem is how he did it#he essentially implied that he slept with tommy just for fun and not because he still has feelings for him#he should have told him what he told maddie#he should have articulated his thoughts better in the moment#if i were tommy i'd leave as well#why continue a conversation about feelings when one party seemingly has none for the other?#tommy got the message#why bother anymore?#tommy wasn't right to project his own insecurities onto buck#he wasn't right to take away buck's agency and decide for him what he feels and for whom#what he's going or not going to do#he should have addressed his insecurities without making it all about eddie#but he was right to leave#and he was right to feel hurt because of buck#honestly i'm on both sides and neither at the same time#as op said this all comes down to their poor communication

The comedic potential of Buck thinking Tommy’s cheating on him, but he’s actually just playing frisbee golf without him because Ravi doesn’t want to invite him.

It ends with Buck showing up and breaking Ravi’s ankle.

bisexualbrainrots answered:

anon you're on point with this!

I can picture tommy in the middle of it all, ravi on one side like "please don't bring buck" and buck on the other like "but we're not hiding things from one another, who are you going with?" because tommy couldn't make up a cover properly

buck either breaks his ankle or injures his throat from throwing the frisbee at him
