There’s something I have to get off my chest, it’s been bugging me for weeks now.

I started watching 911 around season 5, and after season 6 I decided to restart my Tumblr because I wanted to be around mutuals (and so I missed the last drama period). Also because I wanted to see pictures, fics, gifs, etc of the show. Through Tumblr I started shipping Buddie. I would go on Tumblr almost every day, scrolling through the tags.

Season 7 rolled around and Buck got his kiss with Tommy. I watched this live (it was like 2 at night here) and I loved, LOVED, being on Tumblr and everyone being so excited.

I continued to ship both Buddie and BuckTommy and even BuddieTommy. And being around other who do the same was nice.

But now when I open Tumblr its people responding to mean anon messages, horrible posts and hate. I can’t tell you the last time I dared to open the buddie tag because the hate spewed at BuckTommy is ridiculous and it makes me sad, like, actually sad.

It makes me not want to open Tumblr anymore and last night, after finding out about the existence of some blogs (I think we all know which ones) I knew I had to write this.

I have been around a lot of fandom troubles but never, ever, anything like this. It’s a television series ya’ll, A TV SERIES! It doesn’t need to be so serious, ship and let ship.

You don’t like a character? You don’t like a ship? That’s fine! It’s fine to even say it, that’s what makes (or made..) Tumblr such a great space for fandoms.

But, hate, wishes of m*rd*r, r*pe and blatant homophobia, my gosh, how dare you? This is serious question, How Dare You?

Tumblr should be a safe platform, not being used to make people feel threatened, unsafe, scared to make posts.

I end this message with a plea, let’s go back to our happy little fandom, okay?

Let people that like something you don’t do their thing.

Ship your ship and if you want, wish for Buddie to get together, or BuckTommy to stay together. Or.. well whatever!

(Oh and don’t hassle the actors, okay, that’s just plain weird.)

(and YES, I am tagging this in both fandoms because the hate doesn’t just come from one side, even though one definitely sticks out. Also anonymous blog cause I have a fragile little heart that would be crushed by hate, sorry)
