#tommy will help him through it

[thestarwarslesbian]

Tommy, on the phone to Buck: I'm leaving you- Buck: You can't! I am having your baby! Or should I say babies? I just found out they're twins. Do you really wanna leave me alone with two kids? Tommy: Okay, first of all, I was gonna say I'm leaving you home alone tomorrow as I’m going to my dentist's appointment. And second of all, WHAT? Buck: I just panic every time you say you're leaving Tommy: Baby, do you want to talk? Buck: Yes. Tommy: I'm coming over, I love you. Buck, mumbling: Love you too.

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line

“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”

“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"

but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.

he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.

his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.

ghost doesn't let him.

"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."

soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.

he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."

the ice in soap's eyes fractures.

ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.

“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”

thinking about how tommy is uniquely positioned to help eddie in s8

under the watchful eye of catholicism, eddie would have been raised to believe in the nuclear family. this is the schema of family eddie has been trying to impose on himself and chris, at least in part because he feels like it's his fault that chris doesn't have a mother. he feels like their family is incomplete without a mother

whether eddie is actually straight or not, it's clear that he's chafing within the confines of this unexamined, prescribed, idealistic kind of heterosexuality. ryan guzman has said as much: eddie is trying to force the kinds of relationships with women that he feels like he's supposed to have, rather than ones that would actually make him happy

tommy spent decades in the closet; hiding both from himself and from the outside world. he had to come to terms with the reality of his desires and with the fact that he was not sexually or romantically attracted to women, no matter how hard he tried to force himself to be

tommy had to accept that the life that he grew up believing he would have—the one that he was told over and over again was the only acceptable way for him to live—was not a life that could ever make him happy. he is not what he thought he was supposed to be, but there's nothing wrong with that

now it's eddie's turn to learn this. he is trying with increasingly disastrous results to recreate 1:1 what he and chris had with shannon without remembering that it fell apart the first time—without allowing himself to remember how miserable he and shannon both were. eddie thinks he can force these relationships to work because he's done it before and he was happy. but he didn't, and he wasn't

maybe eddie is gay. maybe he's bi, maybe he's ace. maybe he really is straight and he just has a lot more work to do to disentangle his ideas of romantic partner and mother of my child from each other—to see a relationship as a partnership for himself rather than as payment for a debt he feels he owes to his son

eddie needs to stop getting into relationships based on guilt—based on obligation and what he thinks is the right or even the only thing to do—and start figuring out what he actually wants out of a relationship for himself

regardless of what, exactly, the writers decide eddie's core denial is going to be, tommy is the most qualified person to help him through it right now. tommy has been there. tommy knows how hard it is to date a woman who is perfectly lovely on paper and to just not be able to love her the way she deserves—because of him

tommy knows what it's like to feel broken because of this. and tommy knows what it's like to fight his way to the understanding that he is not

there was nothing wrong with tommy: he was just trying to force himself to be someone he is not because that's what was expected of him

there is nothing wrong with eddie: he is just trying to force himself to be someone he is not because he thinks that's what is expected of him

tommy can help eddie get there

GUARDIAN ANGELS?

[cowboylikesel]

i honestly can’t wait for the universe to throw tommy’s „i don’t [have daddy issues]“ right back into his face with full force in s8 like there’s no way this isn’t a the universe is screaming at you/ lighting never strikes twice type of situation especially with gerrard coming back and i need to know how exactly it’s gonna play out like yesterday!!

Redrawing/remaking my HLVRAI flowercrown au!! Benrey and Gordon are up first!! (If anyone's curious you can go looking for my old flowercrown au stuff, just be noted its was made four years ago LOL and all the old info is completely irrelevant) click for better quality, tumblr killed it 💀

Up next, Tommy and Gman Coolatta!

In the old version of the plot for this au, it had a lot to do with it being a game and such. However over the years it's changed! No longer a game, instead the Rescas explosion seemed to have had a .. strange affect on Gordon, due to him being right next to it. At least, that's what they all believe at first.

Can we talk about how Buck is obviously feeling so guilty about Chimney (possibly has been thinking about it since Eddie’s teasing and now he is dwelling on DID he cause this by making it about him)

BUT

He isn’t overly apologizing to Maddie and vowing to fix it by being the one to find him and bring him back…

And that’s good because Maddie doesn’t need him overly apologizing for something that isn’t his fault… BUT it’s Buck. He thinks this is his fault. He just internalized it this time…

And that’s not good

okay i can’t stay silent anymore

i don’t like tommy. i have had a bad feeling about him from the start, meaning back to season two and it hasn’t gone away.

i’m not hating on any bucktommy shippers, i’m not judging anyone for liking the ship and/or character, i respect the bucktommy shippers opinions.

i tried hard to ignore the parts of him that made me hesitate to like him. i tried to like him but i just can’t. i could mention the things he’s done before and after he started dating buck that i can’t ignore but i won’t, ill only mention this one.

i absolutely HATED that little “i hope you do.” comment when buck asked him if he thought buck had daddy issues.

after seven years, i feel like we finally finally got Buck admitting/acknowledging his father/son relationship with Bobby. I thought it was beautiful on how he referred to Bobby as “The Father I’ve Never Had.” yeah, tommy reminded buck that his actual father is still alive, but (unless this has happened before and i’m just forgetting about it) we finally have Father Figure Bobby canon.

it was heartwarming to hear buck say that, but then tommy went and tainted the moment with a sexual innuendo about daddy issues.

i don’t care if buck and tommy have a canonically sex life, we all know he had one with all of Buck’s exes- that part didn’t bother me.

what bothered me was that particular moment got sexualized when it shouldn’t have.

Just seen someone call Maria selfish for leaving Tommy in TLOU2 when he needed her the most and I’m like???? Did you see him in the farmhouse, that’s a man who is obsessed with revenge and she’s probably given him ample chance to get over it but 18 months later he’s still obsessing over Abby. Maria (and Dina) were both more than justified in cutting ties with Tommy/Ellie for their own sakes. If Tommy and Ellie are too far gone and won’t allow themselves to be helped, their partners are more than justified in eventually making the decision to focus on their own mental health because I can guarantee the post-Seattle Tommy was not easy to live with.

Having said that, hope both couples make up so TLOU3 can just be the remaining members of the extended Miller family all living happily.

But seriously, why is it in any form of fiction or real-life, the woman is ‘selfish’ for actually putting her own well-being above someone who doesn’t want to be helped.

Sorry, little rant but jeez people don’t give the woman a break sometimes (also just a strange character to have beef with given she’s like the only ‘good’ character and she’s got such a minor role)

me just now realizing with this ask that show maria and dina are both gonna go through the same angsty bullshit (getting left with a child by their grief-consumed partners):

also dont EVER be sorry for ranting in defense of maria in my inbox. i love it. i need it. it feeds me. it also balances out all the weird ass bitter and shady messages about maria i get from people with nothing better to do. go off

(and also ALSO. tlou3??? is that officially a thing???)
