911 reddit might have redeemed itself. had a conversation with a buddie shipper about why we like our respective ships without hating on each other or the characters involved, and finished our conversation with a simple "damn this was really informative! thanks for sharing!" from both of us. is this what peace and love on planet earth feels like

#they did have issues with tommy as a character but their reasoning wasnt because of him personally but because of the writing #namely that we don't SEE his redemption arc #which is? fair i guess #911 has a habit of telling us information instead of showing us #and a lot of tommys character relies on subtext and interpreting characters AROUND him #and those interpretations are subjective #plus most of his redemption post-118 happens off-screen #the one thing i DIDN'T agree with them was that tommy doesn't like buck #bc like. hello? watch their scenes again please? tommy's the one who kissed buck first. that implies at least some level of interest #not to mention the constant checking in throughout their relationship #but i shared that and they just went: 'huh! never thought about it like that'#anyways. good times #911 abc #bucktommy #911 discourse #kinda #discourse-adjacent
