Evan "Buck" Buckley 9-1-1 | Season 1

[virahaus]

Another day, another time to debunk shitty takes I see online.

I've seen a multiple of people pointing out that "we don't know anything about Tommy" and how could people ship him with Buck (nevermind that the ship is canon and always will remain so) when we know so little about him?

First of all, I'd actually make a point to say that we as of now already know more about him then all the other LI that Buck or Eddie ever had in the show.

I shall make you a list, so that you may remember it more easily:

- He likes cars and he's a good mechanic (extrapolated by the fact that Eddie explicitly said that fixed/improved his engine)

- He likes playing basketball and he's also quite competitive ("we'll make short work of them" said in reference of Buck and Chim)

- He's sarcastic (the closet line)

- His favourite film is "Love, Actually"

- He loves Monster Truck and Craft Beer, and MMA

- He has a big scar on his chest and it came from a fire in a factory

- He's a very skilled pilot, able to manoeuvre in a hurrican, and doesn't waver in the face of danger

- He likes watching and practicing Muay Thai

- He was a pilot in the army

- He only came out when he started working in Harbor, but prefers not to publicise his sexuality

- He doesn't like Bella Swan (and it's implied he might like Jacob more) and he watched the Twilight movies

- He likes to drive his friends to events

- He has friends that can get him high up tickets for shows in Vegas

- He has permission to fly airplanes for personal reasons when he's not on the clock

- He likes to be helpful and he's thoughtful (driving Eddie to check out his sprain, going to Buck's to clear out the air without prompt, immediately agreeing in helping the 118 with the whole ship operation, trying to get Buck to be at ease on their date)

- He's loyal (he didn't rat the others out when the chief called on their way to Bobby)

- He's a smooth flirt

- He can do a mean mouth static (at least in his opinion)

- He pays the bill on first dates

- He is very much the definition of carpe diem (kissing buck was very much shooting his shot)

- He checks for consent

- He kept contact with Chim ever after he left the 118

- Chim called him for help in the episode Broken

- He went to the 217 and opened the spot for Buck at the 118

- He participated in the betting pool Hen made on how long Bobby would last at the 118 captain

- He apologises when he's in the wrong and is shown to be able to correct his behaviour

- He doesn't like chickens (lol)

- He likes the film fight club and can quote it

- Implies to have dated people he met on a call

See? We know quite a lot actually. So you may get off your high horse how about that.

I don't think I missed anything but do let me know.

nah im all for a buddie hookup but not like this lmao not while they’re both with someone else??? cheating ain’t it my siblings in christ and yes they ARE both w someone else or do u think buck did all that just to disrespect tommy

[chronicowboy]

wait if eddie doesn't even realise he still has the collar on and buck just very gently reaches up to unbutton it and eddie's holding his breath because he doesn't know what the fuck buck is doing and buck's holding his breath because this feels somehow bigger than it should and his fingers brush against eddie's neck and it's like a bolt of lightning but neither of them react and buck busies himself with arranging the collar into a pocket square for eddie and his hand lingers a little right over eddie's heart and eddie stares down at it and then buck takes two steps back and the moment bursts like a fucking bubble

[hisbucky]

Eddie: If I had a nickel for every time I almost died in front of the love of my life, I'd have two nickels — which isn't a lot, but it's kind of weird that it happened twice. Buck: ...The love of your life? Eddie, gently squeezes Buck's hand, smiling softly: Yeah, the love of my life. Buck, shyly: W-wow, yeah, okay.

Guys, I think Tommy is cool

Some of you were never obliviously down bad for your best friend for years because you weren’t aware of your sexuality and, respectfully, it shows.

Some buddie fanart for y'all pathetic bitches (I'm the bitches)

[ziorite]

i feel like people are way too hyperfocused on buddie and buddie alone when abc making buck bi at all is already such a win. i’ve seen a frankly alarming amount of social media comments acting as if abc has committed some horrible treason by not canonizing buddie as soon as possible. no matter how you think endgame is going to go, i think we can agree that tommy’s been a good influence on buck in this time of vulnerability. it’s only been two episodes and he’s already shaping up to be THE best love interest buck has ever had— maybe even the best one on the entire show that wasn’t already a fully fleshed character/part of an established relationship. ali, taylor, ana, marisol, natalia, they all feel very superficial and temporary in a way that tommy doesn’t and for one, im super fucking excited to see where they take the relationship.

i’ve visualized the healthiest attitude for everyone’s viewing pleasure here :))

Another day, another fantastic time to debunk completely delulu takes I've seen around. This one actually baffles me on a whole new level, and that people are ACTUALLY thinking it is canon it's giving me a headache.

Why, yes, on that nutter house that is twitterX (and here too unfortunately) people are now claiming that Eddie was Buck's Bi awakening in 2x01 in place of Oliver's recent interview.

First of all shall we look at the definition of Bi awakening, shall we?

"When someone, who thought or assumed they're straight, develops a crush on someone of the same gender and leads to them wondering if they are bisexual."

The key thing here is the realisation. You cannot have a bi awakening without having a moment where you are like "do I like the same gender too? Am I not straight? Am I bisexual?"

Which is EXACTLY what is happening on 7x04 and 7x05 with Buck exploring his feelings for Tommy before AND after the kiss.

There's NO bi awakening on 2x01 because Buck doesn't question in behaviour!! He doesn't have any moment where he considers his animosity about Eddie as anything more than intense dislike, jealousy and fear of being replaced.

Some of you are taking things too far. You are purposefully trying to ERASE actual canon content about a beloved character's bi awakening (something huge, especially with a 30 y/o character) just because you cannot stop for a second and not insert Buddie everywhere you like, even going as far as completely invalidating Buck's journey.

I'm not denying that in retrospect Buck may have found Eddie attractive (Oliver confirmed this as a strong possibility, yes, but that doesn't equal realisation since Oliver also acknowledged that Buck does not look any farther on his feelings on Eddie than interpreting them as personal jealousy).

But canonically Buck's bi awakening is Tommy.

You may not like it, you may not ship it, but you can't behave like this. Headcanons are all well and good, but presenting them as gospel and canon content? Y'all need to take a deep breath and actually get off the internet for a while.

This behaviour is only going to hurt the fandom in the long term. And it is not the first time or the first instance where you take something Oliver said in interviews and completely misinterpret it to suit your pipeline. Try some critical thinking, y'all.

(I'm aware not everyone is thinking like this, but those types of posts are getting over one thousand likes each. At this point it is a fandom problem.)

Another round of firepilot hcs but soft ones this time

Tommy refuses to tell Buck his coffee order and Buck orders him everything off the menu whenever they see each other until he finds it.

Buck's favorite thing becomes sitting in Tommy's lap. He loves feeling Tommy's arms around him, the feeling of being held.

Buck loves that Tommy makes him feel small, but not in a bad way. In a "you're adorable and precious and deserve to feel cherished" sort of way.

Tommy loves spoiling Buck because it always makes him so flustered. Also, service top Tommy anyone?

Their mornings spent together always consist of soft whispers of how much they love each other and Buck attaching himself to Tommy until he peels himself away to go to work.

Buck stealing Tommy's hoodies because he says they're more comfortable than his own.

Buck: sorry girls, i'm currently obsessed over a hot helicopter pilot who has a cleft.
