TOMMY KINARD || WHATTA MAN that tommy is so cool

[redraspberryleaf]

absolutely insane how Tommy makes Buck, an objectively brick shithouse of a man, look normal sized in comparison. Lou Ferrigno Jr the man that you are

[redraspberryleaf]

lou ferrigno jr really strolled up to set after five years, flew a helicopter to a capsized cruise ship in the middle of a storm, scrunched his nose multiple times, kissed oliver stark like he'd been training for it his whole career, improvised the chin grab, and i'm supposed to what. not love the guy??

(disclaimer: this is the psychology nerd in me rambling at 1:40 am)

The whole thing with how (almost) the whole fandom became so fond of Tommy over two episodes has been so interesting for me because it proves a point I've been trying to make for years to friends and people irl and most of them just don't get it/believe it. So this acted almost like a social experiment. And my point is a very simple and well-known fact about how women's attraction is very much emotional.

What I like to call 'the Tommy phenomenon' proves that so beautifully. I mean we've seen the guy in three episodes and he was extremely handsome in all of them. But he was a bit of a duchebag who, okay, came around in the end, but not enough to be really redeemed.

Then suddenly, five years later, he comes back and his sweet and gentle nature shines through his interactions with Buck for the first time and BOOM! We all gush over him, when once we didn't care he existed. He is the same guy, with the same masculine handsome face and the same incredible body, yet until we came to know his personality, we didn't throw him a second look. Funny how a woman's brain works.

For so many years people in my life say "Come on you just love (insert character/celebrity crush) because they are hot" and I answer "No! that's not the reason! Everyone is hot in Hollywood." They don't get it. But now my Tommy girlies do. Mwah to them and to them only. 😘

(or that's just my experience and i am projecting it to others in here, though my post about seeing Tommy before and after 4x05+4x06 proves that at least 367 people so far agree.)

Buck in an LAFD shirt labeled “Kinard”… the entire station refusing to comment on it until Eddie sees it… I see the vision.

Where is Christopher while his dads are out being irresponsible, on another business trip?

[redraspberryleaf]

we all said eddie baby-trapped buck when he wrote him into his will. i actually raise you: buck parent-trapped eddie right after eddie's abuela ended up in hospital in 2x04 when pepa told him that raising a kid alone is rough. buck saw that hot single dad and immediately said he's gonna be second dad.

I'm much calmer now that I've got all the grievances out of my system with my rant in the previous post.

So I'm on S7 Ep2 right now but I somehow missed S5 Ep17 and 18 so I went back and watched it.

In season 5 ep 17, Eddie mad at his father for his absence from his childhood and him having had to step up and literally being told by his father to be the man of the house, arguing and lecturing his father for his absence, how a family needs more than just providing money for, how a family deserves a present father, how a son, meaning himself deserved a present father and this is all very true, Eddie is absolutely correct in his argument and has every right to be mad at his father for not being around. But I literally had to pause and laugh cause he's just one step away to being self-aware but no. Even after that when he sits down with his father, he actually says that he was acting like his father but referring only to the passed down habit of not wanting to seem weak so hiding their ailment thing, Eddie says that he doesn't want to be like that anymore as they reconcile, and I'm happy for him in that moment as it is a well delayed conversation, and a well earned decision, Eddie should have had his father too but every hope I had that he will realise he had been imitating his father on more than on way were dashed and we go back to square one, Eddie's self-awareness stops just short of reaching anything related to his behavior with Shannon. And I have another bone to pick with the writers on this one, why is it always the woman's duty to stay and care for her child and household, same thing happened with both Eddie's mom with his father being away and with Shannon with Eddie being away, the first time he enlisted, he might have been doing it from his heart for wanting to serve his country, wanting to provide for his family etc etc but when he reenlisted, he did it entirely for himself as an escape, and when Shannon got rightfully mad at him for it he somehow found a way to yell at her and guilt her and I will never forget the look he had on his face even Shannon told him to console a crying Christopher, he looked so offended, like it was someone else's baby she was shoving into his arms, he looked so mad that she asked him to do that instead of doing it herself as if it was her duty alone, while they were literally arguing that he was a literal stranger to his own son, I get it he was overwhelmed, scared, inexperienced, confused and possibly in pain from the diagnosis but wasn't Shannon? Why was it okay to not only expect her but for him to demand that she only take care of THEIR child but when she asked him to, he was apalled? Did she have the baby with the wall? why is it that the men always get excused when they leave for whichever reason, there are legions of fans eager to justify the reasons behind these actions but when a woman needs a break, no not even a break, needs help, no, needs her husband, who is her life partner to pull his own weight in the relationship when he doesn't want to, other than just providing money, why is that so scandalous? Why is she looked at as is she's committing a murder?

"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.
