#tommy in every episode

[rainbow-nerdss]

Buck goes over to Tommy's place late one morning, coffees in hand. They agreed to go out today, maybe go for a walk in a nearby park or something, no solid plans for the day other than spending it together.

When Buck gets there, though, he feels something is wrong. The curtains are closed, for one thing. And when Buck knocks, he doesn't hear any immediate movement towards the door. Usually, Tommy opens the door before Buck even makes it up the drive.

But today, Buck knocks, and he waits.

Had Tommy gotten held late at work? Buck knows he had a shift that was supposed to end a few hours before, but maybe he got stuck with overtime and didn't have a chance to call or text. But his car is there, in the same place it always is, and there hasn't been anything on the news about any major disasters.

Buck knocks again and considers calling or texting when he finally hears shuffling on the other side of the door, then the jingle of keys before the door opens.

Tommy is... A mess, honestly.

His hair is sticking up in every direction, old sweatpants with a hole at the knee, and a worn out old hoodie which Tommy shoves his hands back into the pockets of when he sees Buck.

"Hey, Evan." He swallows, voice think with some heavy emotion. "I'm so sorry, I... I forgot we had plans today, I—" he's hunched into himself, and he looks smaller than Buck's ever seen him.

"Tommy," Buck reaches for him with the hand that isn't holding the coffee cups. "What happened? Are you okay?"

Tommy shrugs, hesitating before stepping aside to let Buck in. "Rough shift," he says after an extended silence. "Everyone... The team all made it out, but... We lost someone. I lost someone."

Buck sets the coffee cups down on the entrance table and pulls Tommy into a hug, tucking his head into his shoulder and holding him tight. Slowly, Tommy's hands raise enough to wrap around Buck's waist.

"I don't think I'm gonna be much company today," Tommy sniffs after a while. Buck can feel a wet patch on his shoulder, but doesn't mention it.

The fact that Tommy trusts him enough to be this vulnerable with feels like something sacred, something he's been searching desperately for. Up to now, Tommy has been the one adjusting to make space for what Buck needs, but it's time for Buck to step up, to be there for Tommy.

"I get it, but I'm here." Buck kisses Tommy's cheekbone, just below his eye and he tastes the salty tang of tears there. "If you'd rather be alone, I-I get it. I can go home, and we can reschedule this. But, Tommy, I don't care if all we do is sit on your couch in the dark, okay? Whatever you need, I'm here."

Tommy holds Buck tighter for a moment.

"Evan," he says, in the same way he always says it. Like it's a something precious and delicate and wonderful. Buck's not sure where it came from, but he adores it.

"What do you usually do after a bad shift?' Buck asks.

Tommy sniffs, and it takes a while to answer. "Usually..." He clears his throat. "Usually I curl up in bed or on the couch and watch a rom-com. I know, it's a little—"

"Don't you dare say it's embarrassing," Buck warns, cupping Tommy's jaw and running his thumb over the stubble there. "Go make yourself comfortable, drink your coffee, pick a movie. I'll make us some snacks and join you in a minute, okay?"

Half an hour later, Buck settles on the couch—the coffee table full of popcorn, chopped vegetables and dips to snack on.

Buck reclines against the arm, and pulls Tommy on top of him, head on his chest. It's a tight fit, but from the way Tommy settles into him, Buck knows it's what he needs.

Tommy hits play, and Buck smiles at the opening monologue. "Love Actually?" He asks.

Tommy makes a sound, a soft sort of hum. "It's... kind of my favourite," he admits.

Buck smiles and kisses the top of Tommy's head, then replaces his lips with his fingers, running them over Tommy's scalp.

"That's really cute."

Tommy nestles in closer to Buck's chest, and neither of them say anything else for a while.

"Thanks," Tommy says, when they're about halfway through the movie. "For staying."

Buck kisses his head again, and Tommy lifts himself up a little so he can turn and kiss Buck on the lips, instead before settling back against his chest.

"Thank you, for letting me stay. For letting me look after you."

The words are on the tip of his tongue as he looks down and watches Tommy turn his attention back to the movie, watches him mouth along to a handful of lines.

I love him, he thinks. He doesn't say it out loud, not yet, but the realisation is soft, and warming, and perfect. And he will say it, soon. When the time is right. And he hopes Tommy will say it back.

For now though, Tommy is like a weighted blanket on his chest, comforting and warm, and Buck's content to just stay here for as long as he can.

They'll put on another movie, finish the snacks, maybe order takeout for dinner later, and Tommy will smile again, will laugh again, will kiss Buck the same way he says his name.

I will say this until I am BLUE IN THE FACE. I do NOT want Buddie to happen because of them being drunk and stupid at Chim's bachelor party.

There was absolute uproar in Season Five when they made Buck a cheater by having him kiss Lucy, and the fandom didn't even like Taylor! So why is it suddenly okay for Buck to cheat on Tommy, a good and decent person who is actually liked? Just because you'll get Buddie?

Nah.

And Eddie is still, at the moment, with Marisol, so are we really going to taint two of the best characters by making them both cheat on their significant others?

If this is how we get it, I don't want it. I think this should be a universal agreement amongst the fandom, no argument.

my favourite thing about vip i think is that every single guest takes one look at vic and goes pathetic. rancid vibes. bad dress sense also. and vic's like oh no that's. i am a normal functioning person who definitely does not cry themselves to sleep. actually.

#very important people #this last episode was insane all the way thru #but something that really killed me that i haven't seen anyone talking abt is when tommy says he's seen every ep #and vic's voice breaks slightly as they ask whether he thinks she's doing a good job #hanging on to those hinges by her fingernails #i think they should have a breakdown in the finale

I have come down from the high (that’s a lie.). I’ve processed everything and I’m so normal about this (I’m a liar). The amount of serotonin in my brain is at normal and acceptable levels (I’m a filthy liar who lies)

The 'danger' sign behind Eddie is taking me out. Eddie, my dude, the universe is literally screaming at you right now. Danger! Your man Buck is jealous!!

#*chuckles* i'm in danger meme #but it's just eddie hanging out with a random dude and having a blast #and buck is literally seething and imagining himself shooting all the hatred in his heart from his eyes in a laserbeam #that destroys tommy where he stands #911 abc #911 spoilers #I'll make every joke out of this jealous buck concept until the episode airs #just watch me #eddie diaz #evan buckley #evan buck buckley

rewatching S6 in bits and pieces for current fic and ahhhhhhhhhh but the whole Jack, Diana, Mosley and Lizzie final dinner is so *viscerally* fucking satisfying on every sensory and intellectual and emotional level of consumption.

#every single movement facial expression breath flick of an eye the choice of 'mosley' not 'mr mosley' #the way mosley says 'lizzie' for the first time #jack's buildup and his mad fucking innuendo just before diana and oswald show #particularly how every drink is taken and by whom and when #lizzie constantly holding herself back the entire time from Saying Something all these flinches and half-breaths #insane #INSANE #as much as the end of S3 is roaringly wrenchingly furiously emotionally good #this dinner is something else #this whole episode is pretty much something else though fffffffffffff #jack's patronising constant reference to tommy as if he's a much younger man/boy when you look at these two guys and jack looks younger?? #by design i am sure #in the scene with the tie before the dinner.the way tommy's face says one thing while facing away from lizzie #then he puts on that mask as he turns to face her and you can SEE HIM DO THAT jesus #it would a writing exercise and a half to actually try to capture that scene in writing and work out what needs to be said/described #to carry the same effect because @coffeeatnight23 -> this scene is totally Tommy ripping his own heart out then eating it with relish :) #it *is* the saddest thing but also a fucking *reclamation* of something that tommy hasn't had since his suicide attempt. there's lots of #small reclamations of self that happen in post-Ruby S6 i seem to recall. despite flicks old trauma/foggy memory wandering also this- #-sort of structural shift/acceptance he is who he is and that is how he has agency (not solely money?) #anyway it's not triumph but there is *something* that i haven't found the word for yet #acceptance is one word but there's something more vicarious and dark in it that acceptance doesn't connote

Every single episode of The Last of Us has me like

And it always is.

#How does it keep topping itself every single episode? #I’m going to freak when joel finally calls ellie baby girl in the next episode #The last of us #tlou #joel miller #ellie #tommy miller #joel and ellie

#gay people consistently the funniest ppl on earth #smoshposting in 2022. forgive me #tommy bowe #this man is literally the funniest person in smosh why is he not in every episode

[jaegerbroshoe]

Okay so I finally watched the first episode but I gotta say…I’m a little disappointed?

Like, the chemistry between the characters and the intrigue of the opening from the games just didn’t translate through for me. There were some great lines/shots/transitions they got rid of or changed that I don’t understand why they didn’t include (e.g. “you should start helping out with the mortgage then”, solider noting that Sarah is a little girl and showing more hesitance, the news report transition between past and present).

It was nice getting a bit more backstory on some stuff but yeah, I don’t know. So far I think the game’s opening was a lot stronger.

#the explanation of how fungi can fuck us up with warmer global temperatures driving their evolution was very scary #and I did like the added scene of ellie tricking joel #but yeah idk I feel like even though they spent longer introducing sarah in the show her bond with joel was translated better in the game #like I didn’t get emotional at all during her death scene but every time I rewatch the clip from the game I do #so I don’t think it’s just because I was expecting it #I wish they kept the opening the same honestly #and tess just felt irrelevant here? #and also joel doesn’t come across as hardened #he looked so shook at having killed someone at the end of the episode #plus here he’s looking for tommy #and it’s interesting what they did with the fireflies locking up ellie #and ellie not really knowing marlene until now #I don’t remember that being the case in the game but I could be wrong #still showing ellie being held against her will does make the fireflies more of assholes here #like to me it will actually support the argument of her being coerced more at the end #as in sacrificing herself wasn’t really her idea #and that marlene manipulated her #P.S. why the fuck are the infected in the show so fast? they weren’t like that in the game and it came off as tacky imo #tlou show #the last of us #misc #my opinion

i honestly think we will see how carlos will handle his ptsd from this moving forward. for ep 5-7 the light will be shifted from tarlos, maybe we will see them recovering from all the shit and then they’ll move on to planning the wedding in episode 8 and forward.

I mean I hope they don't just gloss over it like their usual MO, but also how are they going to do a ptsd rep/story properly while also giving some other characters actual stories? I'm all for the tarlos screen time here, but realistically speaking we can't have episodes 1-8 all have major stories for them when there's a cast of ten main characters here. So they will have to take some kind of backseat in between 5-7 if 8 is all about the wedding. So if they do touch on it at all, my prediction is that it will only be in one of those episodes (which would be better than never talking about it again).

Edited to add: oh, I just re-read your ask... did you mean touch on the ptsd after the light hearted wedding planning stuff? I might have misunderstood

#anon answered #911ls spoilers & spec #negativity discourse all the bad words #i feel a bit like the carlos stans that i blocked back in previous seasons because they would bitch about his screentime in the tags - #- after every single episode he wasn't a focus in #and here i am in season 4 just... kinda annoyed at how little we've seen anyone but owen and tarlos #i mean tommy has had some good stuff #(trust me i will NEVER forget that dream sequence... 😍) #but the four episode arcs are a bit much for me I think i've decided #I need a good two or three max arcs for a procedural

[twd-obsessed-bitch]

Okay so I have been trying to figure out the timeline for each episode roughly. Because there's only nine

Last night I was talking to my little brother and told him in order how I think they're gonna do it and I'm pretty sure I'm right after looking at the episode names.

I think most people that have played the games have also had this thought for this layout so this definitely isn't a 100% original idea or anything.

#were gonna get ellie finding a comic book next episode i can feel it #and yes thats because the title name is endure and survive lmao #anyways whay this all meams is were gonna be ruined emotionally EVERY WEEK for the next five weeks except for maybe when we get tommy #tlou hbo #tlou #the last of us spoilers #the last of us hbo
