No matter how many times i watch 7x04 im still shaking crying throwing up like WHAT DO YOU MEAN.
WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
oh Christ shut the fuck up with your holier than thou shit, pretending you're not just another toxic buddie shipper while parroting their favorite lies and bullshit at the same time. block shit you don't like and shut the FUCK up. y'all been showing your asses for literally years, being misogynistic and racist to every single female love interest that gets in your way and adding some violent homophobia for the actual queer rep, all because you fetishise straight men kissing. y'all are the ones posting child rape fics to the archive and to inboxes. y'all the ones harassing people because you're blocked. y'all the ones trying to dox people and fail because you're just that pathetic. I've been in this fandom from day one and there's a reason buddie shippers are infamous outside this fandom for toxic bigotry. shut the ENTIRE fuck up I'm so goddamn sick of y'all. I'm genuinely embarrassed to ever have BEEN one of you. entitled, pathetic, friendless trash, every single one of you.
Hey, so what is this supposed to accomplish?
To be clear, I DO block content I don't want to see. I DO filter for ships I don't usually want to regularly interact with. The point of the post I made was to address a pattern I was noticing with anti-Eddie and anti-Buddie sentiment that I had seen multiple BIPOC creators also talk about.
Now, to address some of your points because I feel like you are projecting SO MUCH onto me.
Misogyny. I never made a single comment on my feelings regarding any of the characters' canon past relationships, but since you seem so sure I hate them like every other Buddie shipper supposedly does, I will make my views of them quite clear. I like most of Eddie and Buck's previous girlfriends/wife. I really liked Shannon, Abby, Anna, and Taylor. The other past relationships that I don't actively like I'm pretty neutral about. There are various reasons why I didn't think those relationships would work out, and they didn't, but I don't hate any of their past partners. I think people are free to dislike their past relationships if they want, but misogyny directed towards them isn't okay.
Racism. Any and all racism targeted towards the characters and their actors is unacceptable, full stop. Any acts of racism that any of those actors themselves have engaged in or excused is also unacceptable, full stop. Both are true statements, and I find it really shitty that in response to a post where I was attempting to respectfully point out behaviors directed at a character, which I found may have had racial bias underpinning them, I got this kind of response. As a community, we should all be concerned about racism, queerphobia, ableism, etc. regardless of who it's coming from and regardless of who it's being done to.
Harassment/Threats/Innappropriate Behavior/Etc. To be very, very clear. None of the horrendous behaviors that you have described BuckTommy shippers receiving from Buddie shippers and/or anti-BuckTommy shippers is okay. I have never and will never defend anyone doing those things. Those are examples of behavior I was referring to when it comes to toxicity I would like to see weeded out of fandom spaces. From BOTH sides of the shipping discourse. I feel like I made that clear when I acknowledged that Buddie shippers can and do engage in toxicity and racism as well. Literally NO ONE is exempt from criticism.
Fetishization/Fetishizing Straight Men Kissing. Um. What. To be clear, I am queer. I read, write, listen to, and engage with content that is almost exclusively queer or made by someone who is. I am just as concerned and interested in queer rep as the next queer person. I also have just as much right as any other queer person to critique that rep if I am unsatisfied with it and think it could be improved upon. And you do, too. I am not saying there is NO issue of some folks fetishizing mlm relationships, but I do think this narrative is incredibly overblown and lacks nuance, but I digress. The specific comment about wanting two straight dudes to kiss is what I am particularly concerned about. Buck isn't straight. He was initially written and acted that way throughout the majority of the show, but he ISN'T. Plus, as someone who is themselves bisexual and relates a lot to his character, I always kinda headcanoned him to be as well. There is also no reason why we should assume Eddie can't be gay. Personally, I headcanon him as a repressed gay man. For many, many reasons. What I find very interesting is the way you throw that statement out there like that as if Tommy wasn't introduced into the show initially through "Hen Begins" as, presumably, a straight man. Of course, we learn later that he was repressing his feelings and had previously dated and been engaged to a woman before he accepted himself fully and started dating men. He is still a gay man despite his past experiences. And at the very beginning of the show, when we are introduced to Michael, we get the reveal that he is gay and had recently come out to his entire family, who he had hid this from for over a decade. The presumption of straightness/cisness until explicitly stated otherwise annoys me so much, so I wanted to address that point specifically.
I have absolutely no ill-will towards you, and I hope you receive this well. I am sorry it seems you have been on the receiving end of a lot of negativity in the fandom. I would like to encourage you to keep an open mind that not everyone online and in this space is a person that hates you or is acting in bad faith just because they diagree with you or have expressed a critical view about something you like. I wish you well.
Okay so I'll just say it because I've been thinking it for a while, but the weird dislike or sometimes even hatred for Eddie Diaz (and Ryan Guzman) that is present in this fandom feels (at times) incredibly forced at best and downright racist at worst. And he's already a pretty white-washed character as it is. This is not in any way meant as a call-out to any one person in particular, and certainly not me saying he's a perfect character above critique, but my god, I need people to inject a little bit of nuance into their views of these characters. I love Buck as much as the next 9-1-1 fan, but he is not this perfect angel who can do no wrong like some people act like he is. Likewise, Eddie has made a lot of mistakes and done a lot of shitty things (some of which Buck himself has done, too). But at the end of the day, I think he is a very complex character who is doing the best he can with what he has and means well. I don't know why some of you are in this fandom if you dislike these characters as much as it appears you do.
And the SHIPPING WARS MY GOD STOP IT. I usually stay out of shipping discourse because I think it's ridiculous and unnecessary most of the time. Ship and let ship is always an option, and I think most people would benefit from choosing it. And listen, I will admit my bias and say I am primarily a Buddie shipper. But I have no issue with Bucktommy shippers as a whole nor the ship itself being popular. Do I ship it? No. I don't even particularly like Tommy as a character, but I don't care if other people like him and the ship. What I do have an issue with, however, is the way some of y'all act with such vitriol towards Buddie shippers, Buddie as a ship, and, specifically, Eddie Diaz as a potential love interest for Buck. This is where I think some people's underlying racial bias really becomes apparent, and no, I'm not talking about all BuckTommy shippers, only those that are explicitly anti-Buddie because they don't like Eddie. Because why, WHY are you so insistent on seeing these two white men together, who have had so little time together on screen and, in my opinion, have been shown to have very little in common with each other other than the fact that they care about and are interested in each other romantically, but so against Buck potentially being in a relationship with a different man who he has been best friends with for the better part of a decade, who wrote him into his will, cares deeply about him and who he cares about just as much, spends a lot of his free time with, and who also happens to not be white? Look, I'm not gonna sit here and say every single one of you is a raging racist or anything. I don't know you. But I think a lot of y'all would benefit from a little bit of introspection as to why you feel the way that you do about some of these characters and ships. Also, yes, Buddie shippers can be toxic and racist, too. I am not saying Buddie shippers are above those behaviors as well, only making an observation specific to some people's anti-Buddie and anti-Eddie sentiment.
Also, this is an aside, but the way fandom and shipping culture in general has gravitated towards strict adherence to canon content is.... weird. Like, why are some of y'all so allergic to engaging with or creating content outside of the confines of what the canon material has offered you? Have fun, be creative, go wild, and also be respectful to the folks around you who see things differently. We all share this space, and we should all care about making it as positive and welcoming of an experience as possible.
Being a part of the Marvel and 9-1-1 fandoms on Tumblr right now is so funny because on one side everyone is going crazy about the gay witches and waiting for Wednesday and on the other everyone is going crazy about the gay firefighters and waiting for Wednesday
911 fandom: "Buck deserves to be with someone who flirts with him"
Tommy: *flirts with him*
911 fandom:
"Bucktommy have no romantic chemistry" they've been together for TWO, 2, dos,✌️, due episodes can you guys chill y'all are so annoying at this point
To whom it may concern
First, please watch this video:
That targeting was two days ago Do you see, my friend? Were you astonished by the size of the bombing? Did we really deserve all this? That was a small part of what happened that night. Imagine the amount of these explosives falling on the bodies of innocent people, after the army asked them to leave their homes and migrate to this safe area, as it claims. If You saw that, my friends, people were burned to death, screaming, and there was no one to help them.
This explosion was only about 500 meters away from our tent. As you know, the tent is made up of some scraps and wood. Shrapnel and rubble scattered on us, and some of people’s tents were burned. I was slightly injured as a result of that, not to mention the tent’s failure.
I kindly ask you guys to help me achieve my goal and help me and my family leave this place, otherwise our fate will be like the fate of those innocent people who were killed for no reason. We need to live a better life than this. We do not have to endure all that. Please, guys, do not leave us. We die this way💔

Not even joking s8 feels genuinely like a fanfic
Also why’s no one talking about “I’m your first, not last” line? I’m pretty sure I saw something like this in the title of some b*ddie fanfic. Like what the fuck? What does this even mean? It’s another proof that writers bait b*ddie shippers. They want them to go wild and write “yes! Tommy is his first but Eddie will be his last!” all over the internet.
And it also can be the best opportunity to show that no Tommy is his first and last if they deal with this break up.
Well I have some more thoughts about BT break up.
To begin with, I don’t care what cast members or Tim said about that. I would be weird if they say something like “Oh, don’t worry! They will end up together!” or “No, we actually plan them to make things up in the next episode”. Like of course they will say about the final break up and Lou quitting the show! Otherwise it would ruin all of the intrigue! Don’t forget that we have two more episodes! It’s not over.
Also everyone can agree that this break up felt rushed and all of nowhere and if they leave the story like that it would be horrible writing. Unless this would be explained in the next episodes. Like maybe it was only the beginning of new arc. We saw it with Madney, we saw it with Bobby and Athena, we saw it with Henren in season 1! Break ups can be part of relationship and it’s okay.
This arc can be a perfect tool to fight against bi stereotypes. That bi people always want to experiment and explore. Maybe writers want to give Buck a beautiful speech about how damaging these kind of stereotypes can be. May be Buck will try to convince Tommy that not all bi people are like this.
Anyway I think we shouldn’t criticise the show until the season is over. But if they let this story to fade like that I won’t watch season 9. Because in this case It will be a bad writing for sure.
I FINALLY watched 8x06 and here is my thoughts about BT break up:
1) Tommy said all those things about broken heart and “I’m your first, not last” like he knew it for sure. Like he knew all of this from his personal experience. And we shouldn’t forget that we still not know much about his life and past. I assume that maybe he had an ex that did this to him. Who wanted to move in together and then cheated. Who broke Tommy’s heart and Tommy didn’t know how to deal with it. And now he’s afraid that this might happen again. Or maybe Tommy was this kind of person in the first place. He broke up with Abby and found a guy who he thought were his “together forever” but it didn’t work out so Tommy is now sceptical about positive first experiences.
2) I see a parallel between this broke up and failed date in season 7. Not only because “see you around, Evan” but because of situation. I don’t think Tommy ended the date in season 7 only because he thought that Buck wasn’t ready. Maybe he also wasn’t ready himself. Not ready to hide, not ready to lie, maybe even not ready to start relationship at all. But Buck called him and made it clear that he ready to explore things and I think it encouraged Tommy to try it too.
It gives me hope that Buck won’t leave it like that. Tommy left his place so quickly that he didn’t give Buck even an opportunity to object his break up speech. It will be incredibly illogical for Buck not to contact with Tommy and clear things up. Firstly, we saw it in season 7. Secondly, I think he has things to say. Knowing Buck, he couldn’t manage to keep it to himself.
3) Am I the only one who noticed that writers make a story for b*ddie shippers to speculate? Like on purpose. I first noticed it in 7x04 where all of the episode we couldn’t tell for sure whom actually Buck was jealous for. And I know, we all see SOME of b*ddie shippers as some hateful bullies which they are. But for creators of the show they are views and comments. And creators don’t want them to give up on this show. So they don’t do b*ddie but they give them hints and scenes like the end of 8x06 (after breaking up with Tommy Buck came to half-naked Eddie to drink beer and comfort. I can’t even imagine how many fics with this title will be on ao3 after this episode) to keep them watching the show. My point is that maybe all this break up was for b*ddie shippers to make some noise in the internet to raise views. But it won’t last long and they deal with it in the next episode.
Anyway I just hope that Buck and Tommy will be together eventually.
P. S. English isn’t my first language so the text may have some mistakes.
Buck, introducing his boyfriend to his best friend: Eddie, this is my boyfriend, Tommy.
Tommy: Hi!
Buck: Tommy, this is my best friend Eddie.
Eddie, who just found out his crush is into dudes and got friendzoned in the same conversation, internally dying: …
Eddie: Hi.
they're so cute!!!!!!!
-Buck: So maybe we both had daddy issues
-Tommy: I don't
-Buck: Which I think I do..
-Tommy: God I hope so!
TOMMY PLEASEEE!!??!?
HE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!!!
The man. The beast. The legend.
'sorry i'm late. that fire was a beast.'
'so are you.'
what do you think is the sweetest and most well written part of Buck and Tommy's relationship? When they kissed in the first episode they had any kind of meaningful interaction or when Tommy ditched Buck on the curb after their first date and Buck somehow ended up feeling like the asshole about it. If that's a sweet and well written relationship Eddie and Marisol are When Harry Met Sally.
Oh no! They kissed after one episode! How could I forget the only way to write a good on screen romance is to spend at least half a season having them dance around their feelings with enough space for the holy ghost?
And yeah tommy left buck (a grown man in his 30s btw) outside the restaurant, because rather than just not mention they were on a date, buck made up a very weird and uncomfortable lie. bffr that's a "yeah sorry, I just got a text my grandma died," level red flag. I'd have clocked out at the ally comment, and tommy managed to turn that around into flirting!
But anyway thanks for the opportunity to list some sweet bucktommy details so far:
just buck's entire face when he talks to/about tommy, that man is smitten! ((x) if you need visual proof). he has the world's biggest crush on his boyfriend and i want him to be insufferable about it!
tommy's little "so that was okay?" after their kiss kills me every time, it's gentle but also confident and forward (which i think compliments buck's personality very well)
I mean tommy felt so bad about being the cause of problems between buck and eddie, he went to buck's house in person to apologise.
speaking of gentle. Evan. I need, need someone to pick tim minear's brain about the decision to have tommy consistently call him evan, the implications are driving me insane.
the way their relationship is tied up with, imo, one of the most interesting coming out arcs i've seen on tv in years. bi buck is very special to me and like it or not tommy is a part of that.
I love the detail of buck getting tommy's order wrong, they could've easily gone the "omg, you got my order right the first time, we're meant to be!" route, but imo there's something refreshing about showing love as this thing you have to work to build vs something that magically happens to you.
and the invisible string/full circle symbolism potential is insane. The fact chimney saved tommy's life, the parallel of tommy needing to leave the 118 to find himself which in turn left a spot in the exact place buck needed to do the same. The way buck is the reason that chimney meets maddie and then years later chim (potentially) returns the favour. They've stumbled into a writing goldmine here and i think they'd be fools to waste it.
look i'll readily admit i've no clue where they might be taking bucktommy, tbh i don't think tim minear knows, but they've sure as hell crammed a lot of potential into those 2 + a bit episodes. That's what people are responding to.
no but buck is clearly very bambi on ice about this which is completely understandable because it's new and exhilarating but also a bit scary right and he doesn't want to fuck it up so he just keeps saying words truly any words no filter whatsoever and what does tommy do? he stays patient and kind and lets buck talk but reassures him and then segways the conversation into something more comfortable by shamelessly flirt with buck and it clearly works too
buck: im an ally *raises fist*
tommy, under his breath: smash
they held hands.... but BUCK'S THUMB STROKE????!!
This is the cutest thing I have read all day.❤
this really just occurred to me, but what a concept...
what if Evan isn't Tommy's sunshine? what if he's actually his sunset? because like, we know Tommy's life is just as pedal to the metal, wild and crazy, do things on a whim as Evan's is. he's a firefighter too, and he's a pilot, and this man literally flew his friends into the remnants of a hurricane on a whim (not even one that had a whole lot of support behind it).
and I just...like yes, it's very sweet to imagine our golden retriever Evan Buckley be the boyfriend that lights up Tommy's entire world and makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside (and I think he still does do that).
but like... it's not the sunshine that does it for Tommy. it's the afterglow of the oranges and pinks, just before twilight. it's the way that, after a long 24 where he had to fly into a storm and make some really risky decisions, he comes home to this beautiful man who just wants to make him dinner and take care of him. he wants to sit at the table and drink wine and talk about family and sex and the atoms in the sky and whatever deep dive he's been on, but not in this frenetic way. he wants to do it in an almost lazy way, the same way they lay next to each other at the end of the night, naked literally and figuratively. because yes, Evan makes him feel warm, but it's not that burning hot, can't stop sweating, need ice cubes down the side of your neck heat (at least not all the time).
it's that warmth you get when you wrap yourself up in your winter comforter fresh out of the dryer. it's your cup of coffee that's been sitting on the counter for ten minutes, so it's not burning hot anymore but when that first drop hits, it still feels like something's being soothed inside. it's the feeling of someone's warm hands on your cold cheeks after coming in from the snow, melting down the hard edges into soft curves. its the meeting at the door after a shift, being greeted with a soft kiss and a warm hug that doesn't expect anything more than just to say hello.
it's the kind of love that comes along and doesn't send you spinning, tripping over your own feet; it just kind-of gently nudges you into this soft free fall, and for as much as that can be scary, you know the other person is right there beside you, going through the same motions.
that's why i was thinking about.
Hello dear .. My name is Abdul Rahman Hilles from Gaza Palestine,, married to the martyred journalist ola Al-Dahdouh.
My journalist wife works for the Watan News Agency and we had a beautiful child named Karam. The real disaster began on Wednesday, May31, 2024, when my wife, my child and I were surprised by a huge missile that fell on us and exploded in the place where we were, targeting the house we fled to and other neighboring houses. At that moment, my journalist wife Ola hugged our child Karam to protect him from the hell of the missile, but she turned into pieces and died immediately.
My child Karam and I miraculously escaped certain death when the pressure of the missile threw me a long distance, which resulted in me being injured by numerous shrapnel and multiple injuries that led to severe fractures in my leg and damage to the nerves in my hand and foot and various shrapnel in different parts of my body.
My wife is a journalist covering the crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip. With the intensification of the bombing and the scarcity of food and water, my wife and I struggled daily to secure food for our only child Karam, who was also suffering from severe fear because of The brutal bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Now after the disaster that befell my family, I need your generous support to overcome my ordeal and pay for my treatment and surgeries. I need several surgeries outside the Gaza Strip that cost a lot of money, and I am in dire need of your tears and support
I am confident that after reading my sad story, you will sympathize with me and share with me and will not leave me and my child Karam alone.
Donate to me or share my campaign with your friends to donate to me
No matter how small your donation is, it means to me a chance for me and my child to be treated and to stay safe.

Hello 👋
I am Haifa from Gaza 🇵🇸
Palestine, mother of three children. We faced many physical and psychological problems due to the war that completely destroyed our home and source of income. My children's health was destroyed due to polluted water and contaminated food. We live in very difficult conditions. We live in a nylon tent and my children shiver from the cold 🥶
My son Yousef, 8 years old, aspired to become an engineer, but the occupation destroyed his talent. Jourie and Joan, the cheerful twins full of humor and fun in our house, are 6 years old and are deprived of education. My children have no future here in Gaza. Help me get out safely.
Otherwise, the price of food has become very expensive, my children make me cry bitterly because I can't provide for their needs because I don't have money. Please your donation and help will mean a lot we have tragedies that need you don't ignore me
