Like to take and reblog to share with anyone you enjoy spending your time with/talking to ♡

Hi! Could I request a tommy drawing from 8x11? Love your art!

here you go<3

...I missed the cuddle prompts thing earlier.

Oops.

(6 if you don't already have 85 million to do)

Ooh this is perfect, because I had like 15 ideas I couldn't decide on. Number 6. for warmth. This one is a little shorter and kind of sad, but I hope you like it anyway. ❤️

"The snow is very pretty," Evan says as they drive through the gates, looking at the freshly fallen snow still covering bare tree branches. "But it's SO COLD. How do people do this all the time?"

Tommy laughs as he parks their rental. "You get used to it, I guess."

Evan shoots him a look. "Would you want to live in this type of cold? I mean, I was born in Pennsylvania, but it's absolutely not the same as this."

"Goodness no," Tommy says definitely. "I'm a California baby, baby."

Evan laughs and looks around, sobering a little when it hits him exactly where they are. He lets out a long breath. "We're here."

"We are." Tommy lays a hand over his and gives it a squeeze. "Ready?"

Evan reaches around and grabs the assortment of flowers. "Ready as I'll ever be."

They get out of the SUV and Tommy adjusts the scarf around his neck. Evan comes around to his side and takes his gloved hand.

It's 10am on a Wednesday morning, a week before Christmas, and Evan's right, the snow is very pretty, casting an eerie sort of sunlit glow around them, even in the morning. It's hard to describe the sort of liminal space that's around them, but Tommy supposes that's what happens when you're in a cemetery at all.

They know exactly where Bobby's buried, resting with his first wife and children, per Athena's instructions, but they still stop in the small visitor's center for a map.

They make their way slowly. It feels almost wrong to disturb the snow, it almost feels like doing so will disturb the graves too, but finally, they're where they need to be.

They look down at Bobby's grave. Evan sniffles and Tommy lets go of his hand to wrap an arm around his shoulders, pressing a kiss to his birthmark. Evan cuddles into him as far as possible.

"Thanks for being here," Evan says softly.

"Of course," Tommy answers. "Go on. We have a lot to tell him."

Evan takes a deep breath and says, "Hi, Bobby. Merry Christmas."

I know you've brought this up before Queso, but I desperately need people to understand that if you're Mexican-American with a large social medial platform living in Los Angeles, and you don't say a word about the current ICE raids? That 100% means you support them.

Ffs, REAL firefighters got involved in driving ICE out of Bell, CA yesterday (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLLg1mRBWAd). They blocked their cars and ran their siren at them. It was awesome.

Anyone with a social media following who's staying silent about this is complicit. But genuinely, to see RG posting cigar pics with his bros while the community he claims as his own is literally being kidnapped from their homes? He IS making a statement and there is no other way to interpret it other than being supportive of the ICE raids.

I don't want to hear anyone say he's worried about keeping his job. Other actors on 9-1-1 have posted about it. Hell, some Dodgers players are risking their multi-million dollar contracts to speak out.

RG has posted about the Hispanic/Latino community before, as a point of pride. Imagine a prominent Jew who's shared their Jewishness as a core part of their identity, not only staying silent about Gestapo raids, but while they're happening, also submitting photos of themselves partying to the society pages.

Fuck him.

@911whatisyourpride, week 2 : Queer culture

Reading books is a big part of making one's queer culture to me, a "quiet gay" as Hannah Gadsby calls us.

If you have some recommandations for literary fiction by queer authors, put them in the tags <3

[weewoowings]

i'm sure this has been articulated before and probably better, but i can't stop thinking about the fact that the main reason buddie fans hate Tommy (outside from the fact he is blocking their ship from becoming "canon") is because Tommy is getting the Eddie storyline they want. Or rather, the fandom idea of Eddie is being played out with Tommy's character arc.

This really clicked with me after I watched a nearly 4hr 9-1-1 recap youtube video created by a buddie fan. I genuinely think (the buddie of it all and their view of Tommy aside) it's a great video and worth a watch! Really articulates what makes 9-1-1 fun and lovable, the issues the show has (especially with copaganda), the bad writing with certain characters and character plot arcs, and genuinely had a lot of points I agree with/have been saying myself since I started watching 9-1-1. Even the buddie of it all, I could get on board with because I like watching people argue why they ship something - I don't have to agree with it or like the ship to be interested.

My main issue with the video (and why I can't stop thinking about it) is how the creator viewed Tommy and how (perhaps purposefully) bad-faith they have interpreted his actions towards Buck. Again, I don't care if someone doesn't like Tommy or has no strong opinions of him, but I prefer people's dislike to be based on reality and/or what the character actually did, and not through the rose-coloured glasses of a shipper lens.

When the creator of the video brought up Tommy as Buck's love interest, they mostly said they were rather cool on him and that we don't know a lot about him yet to really know the character (and given that this was published before S8, that's fair). However, they bring up the cafe scene in S7E05 and Tommy's "mmmm, not like that" line as "evidence" that Tommy's indifferent to Buck and this is where buddies and general audiences separate into different realities, because this moment is a) clearly supposed to be funny/romcomsque and b) demonstrates Tommy's dry wit and, dare i say, sassiness - a trait applauded by buddie fans with Eddie (and they use as proof as his "queerness") but condemned when a canonically gay character does it. The video creator themselves mentions numerous times Eddie's sassiness as a positive trait (and to be fair, they also mention that it's sort of Eddie's default trait because he's a nothingburger character - which I agree with), but when Tommy does it, it suddenly demonstrates that a character doesn't really like/care for their love interests (which given what we know about S8.... hilarious in hindsight, holy projection batman).

Anyways, that really clicked into place for me that the (outsized) outrage buddies have towards Tommy is because he is canonically demonstrating traits they want to see in Eddie/how they view (fandom) Eddie.

Tommy as a character is:

-a deeply closeted gay man when we first meet him, who participates in toxic masculinity as a means to protect himself and/or because he can't (or is unable to) fully articulate himself as a queer person.

-alluded to have been raised in an environment where he had to hide his queerness (as discussed specifically in S7E10 with 118 being a "regressive place" when he was there). Is pressured by both his biological family and his work "family" to maintain a certain idea of manhood, and by extension, stay closeted. Also served in the army, an institute infamous for being homophobic, and undoubtedly influenced his ideas around duty and manhood.

-unable to maintain relationships with women, even serious long-term ones as with Abby, and uses these relationships (either subconsciously or not) to maintain the illusion of his heterosexuality.

-tied with "traditional" masculine interests/hobbies/institutes. He was in the army, he likes monster trucks, fighting, craft beer, flies a helicopter, etc. He seems, on the surface, a guy's guy.

-now canonically out and was/is in a relationship with Buck and has served, vitally, as a closet key to Buck, ensuring that two firefighters on the silly weewoo show are, in fact, together.

-very clearly invested in Buck's well-being, both within and outside of relationship. Has demonstrated numerous times "going out" of his way to put Buck's emotional needs first and to value Buck in way others (Eddie) do not.

-one half of a groundbreaking queer relationship. Cannot be repeated enough, the fact that the show has a main character (beloved by fandom and the general audience alike) come out as queer in a long-running mainstream show is groundbreaking. The fact that Tommy is one half of this ship is so important both to the show and Buck's entire arc. It is important and groundbreaking.

These are almost all things/traits that buddie fans argue make Eddie queer and/or why buddie would be a groundbreaking ship. Which sure, but the reality is the showrunners, the actors, the show itself have maintained Eddie is straight, and (as articulated by the creator themselves in the video) most of what they project onto Eddie comes from the fact he is poorly written rather than because the show was planning on making Eddie gay in the first place.

I read through numerous comments for the recap video and for a following video from the same creator about whether they had been queerbaited (I wish buddies learned the term "ship-tease" because if one half of your ship is canonically queer, no you cannot be queerbaited and dismissing Buck's canonical queerness just because your ship is not happening is, uh, a problem), and numerous times buddies have mentioned how "groundbreaking" buddie would be as if all the things they mention about the ship hasn't already happened with Bucktommy on the show. Their issue is not that the show refuses to do this (and the amount of comments I read that said things like 'they'll never make buddie happen because the network is too conservative'.... for a show with a black lesbian relationship from season 1 and has already made half of your ship queer and made him fuck nasty on screen with his male love interest.... the mental gymnastics is too much), but the fact that the show HAS already done this, just not with their blorbo of choice.

My closing thoughts (for now, I have MANY!) is that in the follow up video about being "queerbaited by 9-1-1", numerous comments asked "if Eddie isn't gay, that would mean he's just emotionally immature, terrible to women, and not a great friend or parent. He would be the worst character on the show".... and like yes, that's the real character you are choosing to stan, not the fanfic one! I fully understand that Eddie is blank canvas for most buddies to pin their hopes and dreams onto (again, because he is poorly written and is essentially a nothingburger character), but no matter how you twist each bucktommy interaction, make bad-faith interpretations, project things that never happened onto Tommy, in the end, Eddie is still a straight boring character. And Tommy is the one who is canonically living out the character-arc you so desperately want to see on the show.

There you are! I was wondering if I should poke you and see if you're okay.

Hey 👋🏼 I have been quite absent from here. Thanks for noticing and wanting to check in. But everything is fine, just life. 🥰
