Tommy, what a bitch 💖 - Lou Ferrigno Jr.

[redvelvetcupcakes21]

Tommy isn’t Bucks bi training wheels. There isn’t going to be any tacky infidelity plot lines, especially for a character who just accepted himself as bisexual. Tommy isn’t Ghostface. There’s no secret murder/revenge plot. He’s also not going to leave Buck because he’s the new bi boy in town and doesn’t have his degree in the University of Bisexual arts.

They’re boyfriends who will kiss and hold hands and hug a lot and get physically/romantically close and they’re gonna go on dates and have intimate conversations and flirt a lot and kiss some more and probably have hot firefighter and pilot sex. That’s all.

Get on board or get out of the way!!!!

This will make you cry.

innocent children starved to death because Israel is blocking aid:

how are these pictures even real? how can people look at these pictures and not die on the inside? inhumane. the conditions they’re living in, the pain they’re going through is simply inhumane. no words at all. 💔

[redvelvetcupcakes21]

the only contribution im making to the whole bucktommy vs buddie thing is this

some of you guys are really quick to forgive a mans racism on the basis that he’s now known to be queer

im not gonna directly mention the particular post i saw about this because i know it’s not nearly the only one of its kind but i saw it maybe a week ago and it’s been grating on me ever since

obviously it’s incredibly clear that white queer people weaponize queerness as an excuse to be racist but for fucks sake this post i saw was outright saying “he was closeted and scared how can we blame him for being racist and mysogynistic to chim and hen?”

Another baby was attacked by Israel. Torturing a baby? They're monsters, I hate all Israeli genocidaires and they supporters.

Zionism is a terrorism!

STOP zionism!

409 bodies have been recovered last I heard and the search is not over yet. You can read the horrific accounts of what Israel did to Al Shifa Hospital in this Mondoweiss article

Hey!

*snaps fingers*

Look over here.

I know some people are getting a bit riled up at certain theories that are once again making rounds after the new promo drop.

But, guys. What's our motto?

Who cares?!

Because

1 - that gif or whatever it is that is being focused on is clearly in reverse. Two men weaving there arms together and clinking beers is a normal thing that men do. Especially during celebrations and, clearly, brain fogged evenings.

2 - Oliver has said, this week, that he does not want to play into those storylines that instantly tell a story of, "Oh. I love my best friend now cause I like men."

3 - Oliver has also confirmed that Buck and Tommy kiss again, initiated by Buck, and that there are, most likely, more than one.

And I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited to see Eddie and Buck acting ridiculous together because it's one of my favorite things about them, but they're also clearly supposed to be messed up on something here. So, let's say they DID kiss. Is that reallu how you'd want to get Buddie???

Come on now.

Hold upppp!! If the person who claims knows shit that happens in the show is in fact correct, then this

Can mean they’re gonna be singing “You’re my best friend” by Queen. And those lyrics are truly something.

And it would all make sense bc Oliver himself said the song Tim chose fits Buck and Eddie “in that moment”.

And they’re both best friends and as the lyrics say, they make each other want to live. Like the words “You’re the first one when things turn out bad, you know I’ll never be lonely.” UMMM IS THIS WHAT SONG THEY ARE SINGING????

I had to come here after seeing the hellfire that formed on 911twt.

I cannot believe that now that bucktommy has reached 1k fanfics on ao3 the BoBs felt like it was time to talk about henren.

Now?! Not when a big number of the henren fanfics weren't even about them but buddie? Not when buddie, a fanon ship, has accumulated (up to today!) over 20k fanfics? Now they wanna talk about henren?

It just feels like they want to use anything at this point to bring down that ship, to the point where they even scream about something that, oh surprise, they caused.

(I am aware that it's also a big issue in fandoms though, I'm not denying that the lack of henren fics isn't concerning to say the least, but this is not something that's only closed to 9-1-1, it's a grand scale problem)

What do you mean it's racist to ship and write bucktommy fanfiction? What about oh idk, the writers comparing a black foster child to a dog?!

I'm not black so I can't speak for any other black sapphic out there, but I can definitely say that it's so convenient how they remember that henren exists now that buck and tommy are becoming more prominent, but not when buck had just kissed a man oh no that's when the show suddenly became “the gay firefighter show", which completely omitted the actual queer relationships/characters that exist on the show.

I feel like my wording may not be the best so I apologize if anything came off weird, but it's 2am where I live and I'm writing this with everything I have.

[redvelvetcupcakes21]

I don't mean to pile onto your bad day but I've been seeing a lot of creators on tiktok complain/compare the bucktommy and henren tags/fic count on ao3 because there's almost more bucktommy fics then there are henren fics. The number one claim is always that bucktommy writers are racist because we don't write for henren. But like, that's not correct at all? People can write fanfiction for whatever they want to. If they want to see more henren stuff then they can write it on their own.

We can coexist without fighting each other. I'm just tired of people screaming about how bucktommy is anti this or anti that, when we're just vibing by ourselves and don't want the drama but the drama finds us anyway because Sucky People are loud and get heard the most.

You’re good, anon. It actually gave me something to think about during work.

As a quick disclaimer, before we begin, I’m not a POC. I am not speaking for anyone in the Black community and am not attempting to speak over them. My following thoughts are as a queer woman-ish who is also a writer.

I think it must be noted that Hen and Karen have been overlooked since day one. The fact that Buck coming out made it the “gay firefighter show” when we’ve had a beautiful canonical lesbian couple since the very beginning? Is only proof. Is this proof of racism in the fandom? Maybe. Quite possibly. I would argue that it comes from a misogynistic point as well.

If you look in any fandom, regardless of the color of their skin, any wlw ship is horribly overlooked. I’ve done some tag searching on ao3. Straight and mlm ships battle for dominance while there are canonical and fanonical wlw ships that have a drastic difference in numbers. This isn’t a good thing. But it’s an experience that spans fandoms.

I find it sad that BuckTommy has almost more fics, with only two episodes under their belt, than Henren with 7 seasons. However, this isn’t a reason to hate on BuckTommy. The ship didn’t do anything wrong. Comparison is the thief of joy and it’s also rage bait. I think that some creators simply are using anything they can to hate on BuckTommy. Which that makes it sadder, that they aren’t concerned about Henren other than pushing their own agenda.

This isn’t to say all creators who are speaking about this are doing this, but I guarantee some are.

Now, let me speak as a writer.

As someone with 62 published fics on ao3, I write almost exclusively mlm ships. This isn’t because I hate women. And as a queer woman-ish, don’t even start about homophobia. But for some reason, I find it so much easier to write men than I do to write women. This is true for straight and wlw ships and also just in general. I love Henren, but I don’t have the faintest idea about how to write them.

It’s hard enough to write as it is and I’m already writing on ships that are easy for me. I try to write women and it just hasn’t come out right. I want to challenge myself, branch out, and maybe I’ll write for Henren to do that. But I say all this to point out that for some people like me, writing some ships and demographics of ships are just a little more difficult.

That leads me into something else.

I, as a white person, worry about accidentally writing non-white characters wrong. And this was reinforced not too long ago when we had that whole thing on ao3 with deliberate racism in 9-1-1 fics. If anyone has resources or advice for writing non-white characters, I would love to hear that! The last thing I want to do is cause any harm.

I feel like I’ve spoken a lot about me, but that’s because I can’t really speak for anyone else. I can only speak from my experience.

We already have a ship war between BuckTommy and Buddie. We don’t need to pit more people against each other. I think we can love BuckTommy while agreeing that Henren needs to be seen and appreciated and treated equally.

End note to say: I tried to speak as delicately and as sensitively as I could, but if anything came out wrong, please feel free to point it out (kindly). Again, I speak for no one but my very little section of the world. I’m interested to hear what people of other backgrounds have to add!

The Buddie side of fandom is something else these days, that's for sure. I'm about to come out of fic writing retirement just to add to BuckTommy out of spite.

ooof.

look, I am not new to the 911 fandom, I was in it for years, and it's actually the reason I made a new account a year ago after that garbage fire of a season, I wanted a full fresh start without any of that on my blog

if it had stayed on fox and/or KR had stayed in charge, I would not have touched the new season with a 100ft electric pole. but tim was back, things were looking good so I decided to dip my toe back in

obviously a mistake. if I thought the rancid "long-form storytelling" side of the fandom was bad, this is just insane. wanting a newly bisexual character to immediately cheat? wanting a gay character to get killed off so your otp can get together? repeatedly commenting "umm I think you mean buddie" on official insta posts and willfully misunderstanding Oliver's joking comment?

(I'm not even getting into the disgustingness aimed at Lou or regarding the whole "kid" comment)

no wonder these people block everyone who slightly disagrees with their vision, if they stepped one inch outside their echo chamber they'd be bowled over with the sheer common-sense that they're lacking

and i keep seeing the same, I wanna say "defense"? for their behaviour, that buddie is something they've "been waiting 6 years for" except no. they've been WANTING it for 6 years. and like a child they think if they want it hard enough then they'll get it

sorry nonny, this got long 😬 but my new year's mid-year resolution is to stop censoring my own opinions in fandom for fear of rocking the boat. yes, pls come out of writing retirement to add the growing plethora of bucktommy fics 🙏. I think I've literally read every single one that didn't have a squick of mine in it (except the ones that are buddie fics in disguise 😒) and I can't wait to read more. let's get it to 2000 before the next ep, really make them seethe
