Buck bringing Tommy to a 118 barbecue and the team all doing the older sibling thing of telling embarrassing stories about buck and buck is sulking but secretly having the best time bc his team is his family and Tommy has his arm around buck the whole time so who cares really, that Tommy is hearing the story of that time he couldn't stand on the ice rink for the fourth time?

And then Bobby gets this smile on his face, and Buck wonders what he's going to bring up, what embarrassing story he's going to have to sit through next

Except Bobby doesn't start telling a buck story.

Bobby asks Tommy if he's seen any chickens lately, and Tommy is burying his face in the hand that isn't on Buck's waist, and oh

This isn't an embarrassing buck story, it's an embarrassing Tommy story.

And buck listens with glee to the whole thing, as Tommy feebly argues that the chicken was armed, and had genuinely proven itself dangerous before giving in and muffling an embarrassed little laugh into Buck's shoulder

And yeah, buck thinks, he could get used to this

Happy Pride Month to the most hands-on ally ever! Take notes, people.

Thanks, maybe the translations will help some people see that Buck is clearly smiling during the conversation. You can even see he shifts to a smile at the end of the scene even though you can't see his face.

added subtitles :)

It's so funny because I personally do NOT like daddy kink and don't like when guys call me that in bed even if I prefer to be the dominate one and yet I still loved this.

He identified Buck wasn't feeling his best and checked in on him. He reciprocated vulnerability. Then he caught on to Buck's flirting (again, Buck started the daddy issue bit) and went with it. Probably not reading the daddy fics since I'm not a fan but I think it's funny and great that they went there.

Also, Tommy 100% also has daddy issues, he's lying to himself lol.

So I think this must be how the scene went down for some of these puritans

Buck: So I guess we both have daddy issues

Tommy: I don’t

Innocent Boy: You think I do—

Predatory Old Man: YES AND I’M GOING TO EXPLOIT IT FOR MY SEXUAL GRATIFICATION BECAUSE I AM EVIL BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Blushing Babe: *Cries as disgusting fossil proceeds to take advantage of his completely virginal body*

lol well let it be known that being close in age or, hell, even younger has never stopped gay men from being called or calling someone daddy

also if this doesn't confirm buck/tommy's age gap idk what does those boys are getting NASTIE nastie. i fucking LOVE it here

Thissss, I wish I could filter out the negativity both ships keep dropping in these tags, it’s so annoying. It is so not that serious, just let people enjoy things.

How it feels right now 😔

So in all likelyhood, it was probably just logistics behind the fact that no one came to support Tommy (why hire faces for a side character), but it is a good way to show character background that he is pretty much alone. He spoke about his jealousy of the 118 becoming a family and the fact that he had no friends or family show up for his award ceremony means he had no one before he reintegrated into the 118's family through Buck.

It must have been a really lonely life for him up until now, and the fact he felt like he had to leave the 118 to stop lying to himself only for him to be brought back into their fold and see no one cared? Poor dude.

Chimney chews out Gerrad 7.09

so how about tonight's episode huh

[blogtrix]

It ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi ♫

um, some dots here...

I like the idea that Tommy was so kiss drunk that he didn’t notice. By the time he was thinking straight, Buck was dragging him to Chimney’s room so Tommy couldn’t see his face until they were already in the room.

buck unintentionally coming out to the rest of his family via showing up with his mouth covered in soot after making out with his firefighter boyfriend is the most camp thing they could have ever done i cannot fucking believe this

[blogtrix]

once buck comes out and settles into a relationship with tommy i’m sure they’re inevitably going to hang out with eddie at some point and i’m lowkey curious about which one of them will feel like the third wheel because somehow all three of them fit the bill for that

Tommy Kinard and DADT

I like the idea that Tommy was actually kicked out for the army early due to DADT which contributed to him scurrying deeper into the closet.

Maybe he was betrayed by a bunkmate who caught him sneaking out of a gay bar.

Maybe he and another soldier got caught hooking up and the other solider claimed Tommy assaulted him.

Maybe he had a “girlfriend” back home and a nosy squadmate read it and found out that friend was actually a boyfriend.

Anyway, it culminates in him being discharged. But since Tommy still wanted to help people, he becomes a firefighter. He convinced himself that his previous interactions with guys were just a phase and puts it behind him. He hides behind gay bravado and his naturally masculine hobbies to keep up the pretense through the academy and probation.

He is used to the kinda of things Gerrard says and finds it easy to lean into it to blend in just like he did in the military. But once Chimney and Hen show up, that facade becomes harder to maintain. After Gerrard is axed, Tommy starts to confront those feelings he had gotten so used to pretending weren’t there.

Eventually he sees the opening for a pilot and jumps at it even though the 118 has become a lot more progressive under Bobby. To Tommy, this is a chance to reclaim the opportunity that was taken from him when he was booted from the military. He always did like flying and now he can reclaim his identity as a gay pilot—this time openly and proudly.
