9-1-1 episode posters but they're movie poster inspired 🎬 (in order: kill bill, chicago, it's a wonderful life)
For the love of GOD, Tommy Kinnard is not historic lgbt rep. White gay characters with no personality are a dime a dozen on network tv. Even Buck's bisexuality storyline, while is groundbreaking for queer firefighters, it's also not historic since "older guy discovers he's bi" was already done in Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Even Eddie's queer awakening wouldn't be historic, as there have been a few "formerly straight-identifying guys with religious trauma coming out later in their lives" storylines on tv. Not to mention, Michael's journey on 911.
Now, Buck and Eddie's relationship would ABSOLUTELY be historic lgbt rep bc we've never had a slowburn same sex romance on network tv, especially with two firefighters (don't just take my word for it, go Google and see it for yourself, we don't have anything like that yet), if they were to go canon, they'll certainly create history. As for what we have right now, a boring relationship with the characters saying one or two lines to each other every third episode, is hardly historic.
You wanna know what's 911's contribution in historic lgbt representation, it's our own Henrietta "Hen" Wilson.
A badass lesbian firefighter+paramedic, who's also been an interim captain, she's strong despite the severe workplace discrimination she had to endure and she's a great mother, she almost became a doctor too, what is it that she can't do? As for her relationship, it's one of the three front and center relationships on 911, her wife Karen is a rocket scientist, and one of the most emotionally mature character I've ever seen on tv, and even though their relationship hit a bump in the first season, they managed to get past the cheating and after that they've had a relatively healthy and happy marriage, and we don't see a lot of that on network tv, especially with two Black women. Hen and Karen never get their dues for being a wonderful queer+wlw representation, and it has only gotten worse since EvanTommy fans have joined the fandom.
the fact that we didn’t get buck going on a research bender about his own sexuality and the history of the queer community and sharing all the information he learned is a crime

Yall, we can think a joke came across as cringey or even icky without somehow being homophobic puritans.
Trust me, some of us are very kinky people who want Buck to have all the wild sex he desires.
Still don't think the "daddy issues" joke landed. The whole scene was scripted awkwardly.
I’m sorry, but if you think Eddie Diaz’s—a single dad, a Catholic, Hispanic war vet from Texas, who has an already complicated relationship with unsupportive parents—coming out story only matters in the context of Buddie, you don’t really care about Eddie.
That story has potential to be incredibly complex and moving on its OWN. And it deserves to be told on its OWN, agnostic of a ship.
something about chimney being a kid that was taken in by generous people after losing his mom, then deciding to take in mara so she felt safe again, is so important to me
henren at pride decked out in lesbian pride gear for @/downbadbuckley as part of @911actions gotcha for gaza!
go check out the details for the event over here!
When Buddie finally becomes canon, I can't wait for all of the edits with Buck's line in 2x01: "You wanted us to bond. We might end up with us real close."

I love the little glimpses of Chimney and Denny's relationship and how close they are. Chimney has been their since Denny was a baby. He read up on babies and how to calm them and instead of trying one at a time, he did them all at once. When Chimney went to pick up Hen for work, he saw Denny sitting by himself outside and decided to check on him first. Now he sneaks the kids food because their Moms said no. "Meet me in the kitchen in 10 minutes."
Uncle Chimney for the win

Fic: More Than An Ally?
Fandom: 9-1-1
Characters: Evan "Buck" Buckley, Hen Wilson, Chimney Han, Maddie Buckley, Christopher Diaz, Tommy Kinard
Pairing: Buck/Tommy (not the focus, it's more about Buck)
Summary:
Buck keeps referring to himself as an ally, mostly by accident, but also because he's not sure he's ready to say what he really is.
(Or, five times Buck calls himself an ally, and one time he doesn't.)
