To insanity and beyond!

Wow. Lakers tickets. No way. 9-1-1, S08E06

We've been so mean to Tommy here. 🤣

He has actually given Buck the perfect gift. He's figured it out, the perfect way to thank Buck for their time together.

It just appears to be dumb at first glance because we think it's for them, for Buck and Tommy. To celebrate being together and continuing their romantic relationship.

When this is actually a breakup gift given by a friend who has already decided they should call it quits.

Tommy is being the perfect wingman. Having Buck's back.

This gift will help Buck move on from his romantic relationship with Tommy.

Tommy is giving Buck something nice as a thank you.

He is giving Buck together time with Eddie.

In a date-like setting.

It'll be great. Eddie will love the game.

And Buck won't go on one of his ADHD hyperfocus dives -- he can't, the game will bore him, so he'll focus on HIS DATE!!

Tommy is a genius.

Why didn’t you say something?! Well, I thought I had been. 

I... I just think that maybe you're not sure of your own feelings yet. And if there's something that you need to tell Eddie, you will. Just, in your own time.

#They can't lie to their best friend that's insane

If your defense of someone not liking something is immediately 'you're homophobic', it makes me wonder if you only like it because it's queer.

Because I don't dislike bucktommy because it's a m/m ship. I'm queer. I want representation on my screen. I fight for more representation. I prioritize reading and watching media with representation because that's important to me.

I don't like BuckTommy because they don't have chemistry and I don't like Tommy as a character. And I think Buck deserves a better love interests who shows more interest in him and is a shoulder to lean on instead of having someone dismiss his feelings over and over again.

I didn't dislike the daddy issues comment because it's said by a gay man. Shocker: men having sex doesn't freak me out or surprise me.

I didn't like it because the timing was not good. Buck’s father figure literally died for 14 minutes and could've died again. And a few moments later there's a sex joke about daddy's. While Buck’s dad just died. And he's being open about having been scared. And that's what he gets.

We're not 'homophobic straight women' for not liking that. And also, why are you erasing queer people's identities to frame it that way? Is that all you have to defend it?

I really feel like a lot of people only like bucktommy because it's a queer ship. And sure, you do do. That's allowed. It's nobody's business. But to say thay someone not liking them is homophobic when there are multiple valid reasons not having anything to do with the ship being queer... it just feels very off to me.

Do I have to like every queer ship because I'm queer? Am I not allowed to want better relationships for my favorite character? Do I just have to take the crumbs they give me?

Yeah. I'm queer too, I ship buddie, and will continue to ship buddie.

Honestly this "must worship the canon queer content" mindset is so BORING it's doing me in.

Who knew that being queer means that I even have to watch fiction in a very specific way to avoid accusations of being a traitor to my kind. Imagination is now illegal.

Hearts broken: Eddie's ✓ Christopher's ✓ Buck's ✓ Mine ✓

#if once is an instance, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a pattern, how many times before it counts as foreshadowing?

The soundtrack I am hearing playing to this repeated

"Late"...

is a mix of these:

And Over the Rainbow from the

✨WIZARD✨of Oz:

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

And the dreams that you dream of

Once in a lullaby, oh

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

And the dreams that you dream of

Dreams really do come true-ooh-ooh

Someday I'll wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney tops that's where

You'll find me, oh

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

And the dream that you dare to

Oh why, oh why can't I? I

Someday I'll wish upon a star

Wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where trouble melts like lemon drops

High above the chimney top that's where you'll find me

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow way up high

And the dream that you dare to

Why, oh why can't I? I

And....

Kwan's Late (the video starts... late 😂 patience!)

I know as a fact that the sun don't always shine

Gotta be optimistic, tomorrow it'll be fine

And it hurts, like the mother who is giving birth

To the child full of innocence for life he has thirst

But in vain, he's only gaining pain

Minute after minute and day after day

So who the fuck should he blame

One for the trouble and he struggles to release the pain

Now I can see that I've been blinded see through your heart

And all the little things that matter

Now I can see it all, and I'm asking you to wait

Maybe it's too late...

I know you´re talking shit behind my back incognito

And when I see you face to face you're lying like pinocchio

I don't care what you say 'cause I'm on top of the world see

People like you near me and I feel the conspiracy

Identify yourself to yourself and be honest

I suggest, take a look in the mirror it is a test

Best way to cope it is to cope it on your own

Take this advice and you won´t die alone

Maybe it's too late but now I can see it all

And I'm asking you to wait

asking you to wait of your life in this world

There's a treasure at the end of the rainbow

afraid of losing you, my hands reach for you again and again. this is how love bleeds.

ok so are we all just skipping right past Eddie’s “he’ll love you like we all do”

ONE OF YOUR GIRLS

#evan buckley but it's just him progressively getting more unhinged over eddie

I'm always gonna fight to come home to my family (x)

Bonus:

I should probably shut up about it because there is so many other people talking about it. But I can't stay silent about it. I can't stress enough how upset and uncomfortable I am with being here in buddie fandom right now.

As a bisexual myself, I agree with the importance of its representation in mainstream media. Especially when it comes to male characters, who are really low in static speaking. We can all agree on this, and hopefully, we can all see it. I'm really thrilled about Bi Buck's journey and about finding his happiness. He's not fixed, he just found out about his other sides he never knew they were existed before. As @m3r1m4r5u333 said in their post, bisexuality is not a personality, just a small piece in whatever color that is a part of many more pieces of soul. Buck, like many real-life people, is trying to figure out himself. I honestly don't think that self-journey will ever stop, not just on sexuality but on many other things. That's how living is, right? So yes, it's very exciting and kind of carefree for him, and I'm truly happy. He deserves it big time after all that he has been through. And I really think that Tommy is genuinely the right person for him at the moment.

But aside from me being bi, I'm also demisexual. Honestly it's more than that for me, because besides the need for emotional connection before sexual intimacy, I need some degrees of emotional connection before even getting into dating. So as you can see, I'm very much attached to Buck and Eddie relationship. I'm mostly finding myself a lot in Eddie's character. I do feel a lot of pressure on starting to date someone nowadays. And I'd probably be single for a long time because that's kinda how how people go to date. You meet someone you like and interested to explore the romantic dynamic and that someone is a completely stranger to you so it's kind of scary and stressful.. I'd rather be someone's friend and then lover..

Yes, best friends have a different kind of love than just two friends. That doesn't necessarily mean that it must have a romance subtext or under the surface, especially when it comes to two people of the same gender. And sure, all the things related to buddie are open to interpretations and any ways that people who see it differently are pretty legit.

We can argue about why things are the way they are. I can acknowledge that Eddie is not in the same emotional place as Buck, and it can be taking a long process for him, if at all, to realize his own feelings about himself and Buck. But at the same time, I can say that although it seems like Buck and Eddie communicate in a very healthy way, there's a sense of underground miscommunication that leaves both of them scared to make a move or talk about their deep feelings and observations on their own relationship. Because what they have is great, so why ruin it for a good change, right? And there is lots of evidence that saying buddie are partially soulmates. Having back from each other. Their reactions are when the other one is in a dangerous situation, such as the firetruck, the wall, the shooting, and the lighting strike. The will. The family moments of Buckley-Diaz. Going to each other's home as a safe place. The teasing from surrounding people about them. The jealousy. Their parallels to other couples on the show/

I guess I'm trying to say to the people who are feeling like some people are not very happy about Bucktommy because they are not appreciative of the new queer couple or the very fact that it's B-Buck canon. I understand the need for bi-representations and am happy to see that. It seems very worth the long wait for this. And yet, I want to say, give buddie stans time, including me. Because our feelings are legitimate and matter, too. It may come as rude or not excited about Bucktommy, but I think this is coming from being afraid and uncomfortable with how quickly many people from the fandom are shifting from Buddie to Bucktommy, even if they still believe in Buddie Endgame. Give us time to fall in love with this couple and connect with them. Give us time to warm up for them. Give us time because we have been attached to Buddie for 5 long years. We have been memorizing all of the episodes, plots, and quotes. Writing for 5 years, Buddie fics. Making beautiful gifsets and fan art.

Thank you for reading this if you have reached this far. 🩷
