hellooo, fellow bucktommy shipper (and casual b*ddie enjoyer, if it weren't for the horrors...) here! i really liked your take on b*ddie st*ns and how they are now making super wild assumptions based on some latest interviews.

you know one thing that irks me? somehow nobody seems to talk about is the fact that in canon, buck isn't written to be in love with eddie at all. like, can we please talk about this??? because I'm all for Death Of The Author. OS can talk about ships all he wants but in the end, only the canon narrative matters to me personally. i've watched long-form content with endgame couples being set up in the pilot episodes who become canon many seasons later (bones, castle, grey's anatomy, the mentalist, etc.), and the entire point of such couples is to establish that, yes, they have been having romantic feelings all this time since day one. they do so very very obviously. there is zero subtlety or room for questioning.

one of the most common tropes is to give one or both characters (of the endgame couple) another love interest so that the endgame couple can be full of jealousy and pettiness every time that other love interest is mentioned or shown. having another love interests always endangers the original closeness of the endgame couple, and then the breakup propels the endgame couple forward in their relationship. the love interest is always used for comparisons, to make it abundantly clear that everybody else is lacking in some way. at no point in 911 did they do so with buck and eddie??? these dudes go through various romantic relationships, and never ever has it been any issue to the b*ddie dynamic. never was it talked about. never were hints dropped that one of them is jealous. even now, with bucktommy, eddie shows not a single ounce of jealously. on the other side, look at how they showed us buck being obviously jealous because eddie monopolized tommy's time even though buck wanted tommy time himself! buck couldn't stand the jealousy even a little bit, and he ended up literally hurting his bestie because of it. but whenever eddie is involved romantically and sexually with someone, there are zero signs that buck is bothered or threatened or jealous. they both seem super chill? they do not question at any point that them dating other people might hurt their relationship? logically, that must mean buck's never wanted to be romantically or sexually involved with eddie (and vice versa). at it's core, b*ddie has been written as a friendship. to this day, we have no canon proof for anything else.

i would not hate b*ddie to happen or anything. i do enjoy b*ddie fics (those that aren't super misogynist ♥). and i think it could be a great couple if done well! but as you said, even when buck thought eddie was hot... well, so what? that's literally just an objective observation. RG is handsome based on societal standards. chim and hen also immediately acknowledged that eddie was hot in 2x01, and both of them are Not At All romantically or sexually attracted to eddie either. nobody is questioning chim's or hen's sexuality based on the comments they made about eddie being hot. because nothing about this equals real romantic feelings or the desire to be in a relationship. the fandom understands that logic just fine with chim and hen. why not with buck, though? also, we have yet to see a reversed moment for eddie staring at buck and finding him hot. they had no problem to show eddie Immediately having a crush on ana flores when he first met her. this shows that eddie feels sexual attraction just fine. he was, however, never shown in canon to feel it for buck.

also interesting: even though buck found eddie hot when they first met, it did not trigger buck to seriously question his sexuality at any point in the past like, 5 years or so. in all those years of canon b*ddie friendship, the show has never used the plethora of opportunities to propel b*ddie into romantic or sexual territory. the show could have! but the show never did, so i refuse to let b*ddie st*ns or OS retcon this. if it's not in the canon material, it isn't canon. with tommy, it took only a couple of weeks and a handful of interactions for buck to reach a point of clarity about his sexuality. the most logical deduction imo is that buck simply clocked that eddie's hot (like everybody else, duh, he isn't special in that regard), and it's never meant anything deep.

my only real probem with this entire situation is how hardcore b*ddie st*ns are now using this as a justification to harass others even more (especially bucktommy shippers). i'd love to enjoy canon bucktommy and fanon b*ddie in peace! but the hate that b*ddie st*ns are spreading everywhere again (like with every new season and newly introduced love interest) is so overwhelming.

sorry for the long ass rant btw oopsie. feel free to ignore this. i just wanted to let it out and it seemed like you would understand. anyway, thanks for reading in case you got this far!

I’d never ignore a sensible take, anon! (I feel bad that you had to go anon but I understand. We know the drill by now, some stans are scary lol)

But like, ALL OF THIS!!!

Discourse like this is what takes away the enjoyment of media for me. It sucks that fandom experience can have two very extreme opposing sides, specially when it comes to two “competing” ships. You can kinda tell by how bucktommy shippers behave (I’m not trying to flex at all because I am one. A good majority of us has zero problem with b*ddie endgame even though we prefer the other. We like what we are getting and are happy to see this storyline play out) compared to b*ddie shippers (of course not all of them, I’m talking about the entitled ones. That clog comment sections, bother actors, go to the other ships tag to complain about it and say how their preferred ship is better, etc).

Im not immune to bad takes and bad fan behavior. Ive surely acted like these stans in other fandoms and i do regret it, so i hate seeing it happen again and again, no matter where i go.

Not to quote mean girls, but I wish we could all get along…

All that being said, whichever ship “wins”, it’s no one’s call but the writers and producers of the show. Someone told me that Tim writes for himself and doesn’t take outside factors (at least to an extent cause it’s impossible to not know the fan reaction) into consideration when it comes to where he wants the story to go.

Why are we assuming Josh is single or would even be attracted to Tommy or Eddie? Oh yeah! Josh is gay therefore he must be attracted to every other guy he comes into contact with and if that guy is queer, that means they can date. Right?!?!? Because that’s how being gay and bi works, no? 😒

How about this as a thought: Josh is single and he’s okay with it because, you know, he got gay bashed a few seasons ago and maybe he’s still healing. Maybe he has trust issues because the one time he let his guard down, some crook took advantage of him. Or maybe, he’s just not interested in dating right now. Maybe he’s totally fulfilled in his job and likes coming home to his three cats (because Josh definitely is a cat daddy) named Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Theodore’s the chunky one.

BTW, why does Josh have to be the consolation prize for whoever doesn’t end up with Buck??

Josh is awesome! Josh deserves the very best! And if I know him, and I’m pretty sure I do, he wants no part of your silly shipping shenanigans. He’s got lives to save!

My AO3 BuckTommy Frustrations

The good news is since Buck's bisexual revelation, there have been so many BuckTommy fics uploaded to AO3. The downside to this is a LOT of them are Buddie fics disguised at BuckTommy stories. Does anyone have any BuckTommy fics they would like to recommend where Buck and Tommy are the main couple and Eddie is the supportive best friend? I would like to get a master list going.

Buck never refers about himself in 3rd person with Evan, but easily does it with Buck (Buck 1.0, 2.0, 3.0) and even let people (especially firefam) to make it part of the joke or a pun like "You bucked it up" or all other things like that

Buck is the mask he wears to protect Evan, because no one really could protect Evan before he had to create Buck - cocky, but lovable, hero firefighter without fears. Buck helps Evan stay safe, but not free

And then Tommy came and called him Evan and suddenly he doesn't need this mask anymore. Evan is free and safe

one of my favorite underrated bobby nash moments is the scene in 1x06 where he's talking about how he's loved valentine's day since he was eight years old and now i'm just thinking about a tiny bobby nash painstakingly cutting out little paper hearts to decorate and helping his mom bake red velvet cookies to give to his brother and his dad and handing out chocolates to all of the kids in his class and picking flowers from his front yard and tying them up with a ribbon to give to the pretty girl that sits next to him and showing up year after year with the same innocent excitement and i'm melting

Unpopular Opinion

BuckTommy fics hit different because BuckTommy is actually canon. I want to recommend Everything Has Changed by Trickle_Samul found here.

Firepilot headcanons

Buck is the little spoon 90% of the time. Tommy loves being able to hold him in his arms and never wants to let go. He buries his face into Buck's hair and they just breathe together, holding each other. The other 10% of the time happens when Buck finally convinces Tommy it's okay if he wants to be held too.

Tommy loves doing romantic gestures (big or small) because Buck isn't used to being the one being wooed. Buck always ends up flustered and blushing, and Tommmy thinks he's adorable.

Buck cooks dinner for the first time and Tommy shows up to their next date with a pink kiss the cook apron that has hearts plastered all over it.

Their flying lessons end early because Buck cannot focus for the life of him and keeps trying to kiss Tommy even though he's the one in the pilot seat.

The first time Tommy has a nightmare around Buck, for all his confidence and swagger, he feels embarrassed and caught off guard. He's the older one, the bigger one, the one who's supposed to make Buck feel happy and secure. They have a conversation that ends with them promising each other to always tell each other if they're struggling with letting go of bad calls or bad dreams.

The first time Tommy calls Buck baby Buck practically melts into a puddle of sappy, kiss-drunk goo and gets all soft and asks to hear it again.

They're the worst patients when they're injured, absolutely insufferable. They're also both incredibly needy and Tommy gets super clingy/whiny about how he wants his Evan.

Tommy can't wait to spoil Buck. He's absolutely smitten by the kid. Tommy thinks Buck is the best thing to happen to him since moving to Harbor and isn't going to let him slip away when he's just found him.

Mentorship.

[callmebrycelee]

Imagine being Tommy Kinard and your friend and former coworker (Chimney) has been telling you stories over the last six years about the former fuckboy firefighter who almost got fired for using municipal equipment to hook up with strangers, who nearly choked to death while on a Valentine’s Day date, whose sister got kidnapped by her estranged ex, who had a firetruck crush his leg, who nearly died in a tsunami, who saved his best friend when he got sniped, who got struck by lightning and lived to tell about it, and who risked his life and career to save his parents, and said former fuckboy firefighter just shows up to your job randomly one afternoon.

For those saying we won’t get much sexytimes with Buck and Tommy. Let me remind you, this is ABC. ABC is the first of the Big 3 networks to show bare butt. This is the same network where Annalise Keating got it on with men and women. This is the same network where Connor and Oliver had a threesome with a guy they met online. Not to mention all the sex those doctors and nurses had on Grey’s Anatomy.
