This hurts like hell 😭😭💔💔

i kinda admire the buddie fans for still being optimistic about buck and eddie getting together. they keep getting whacked and have for 7 years now, and one is canonically bisexual and the other is straight, yet they’re still more optimistic than ever. the delusional hope is something i wish i could have about my own ship.

Tommy has clearly been hurt before in previous relationships with baby queers, but instead of exploring that and making them have a deep, meaningful conversation about that, the writers decided to just break them up???? that's lazy writing and honestly it doesn't make any sense narratively, especially having in mind the previous episode. if this is really the end for buck and tommy, then it was a completely useless story arc, they used tommy as a tool for buck's sexual awakening only.

Honestly I think what pisses me off more than the poor writing of the episode (having Abby be connected to them, the basketball tickets, the dumbass breakup reason) is them preparing interviews immediately after saying “yeah it’s all over no chance no way” because Lou seemed shocked by it, like he genuinely didn’t know it was ending so abruptly. And Oliver seemed to brush it off like he didn’t give a fuck. I don’t know who decides when interviews come out, but they should’ve let that rest a bit. Give us a second to come to terms with it. Hell, drag us on and make us wonder if he’d be back. I love hearing from Lou, but he wasn’t a main and didn’t need an exit interview. And we didn’t need Oliver bragging about how much he wants to make out and have sex scenes with multiple men and women now that Buck is bi. It was just all in really poor taste.

Josh making that speech about queer people who had to hide, who bear scars, only to punch us in the face the same way we've always been by queerphobic people was certainly a choice. This speech was deeply intentional and the writers wrapped it with a break up out of nowhere. Tommy's insecurities about his relationship with Buck should have been hinted. The only real insecurity we knew was about him being alone, without anyone to have his back. Without a family. He found that and they just erased everything they built up with this character. Also what was the point of Josh making Buck realize his feelings for Tommy in that very same scene only to lead to a heartbreak like we saw for 6 fucking seasons?!

This break up felt like a big fuck you to queer people, especially the ones who came out later and the older ones. It felt like a "you don't deserve love, you only deserve to struggle because you're broken."

I might be negative right now but I'm hurt. Not really about the break up itself, but really about how it happened. It was botched and it felt like a big joke on us.

Is it a stunt? Could be. But that doesn't erase the hurt we feel right now. Of course, we can always say it's a realistic depiction of a relationship gone wrong, but that's not what happened, isn't it? It didn't go wrong. 805 was selling a strong couple. Then we're served with this break up that happened under less than a minute. They could have made them argue and left them on a disagreement but no. They went full break up. Full stop. Six months of a nice relationship and everything is gone because Buck was becoming serious.

Tommy knew that it was Buck's first queer relationship, how, 6 months later, it suddenly became a problem? At 40, you don't spend 6 months in a relationship without hoping it'll last for a while. At 40, when you're craving for a family, craving for finding your people, you try a little harder than that. Is it scary for Tommy? Of course, but after 6 months, he knew Buck, he had to know he was serious enough to try.

Lou saying that he had issues with this ending...

Lou saying that he wanted it to last longer...

Lou saying that he was under the impression that it was working and they were connected...

I don't know who made this decision... but Lou didn't want this

theres nothing wrong with bi characters being promiscuous btw. there is something gross about having a character be kind of a playboy, realize lots of casual sex isn't actually for him, then years after that whole arc and a season after he comes out as bi having him revert back to that. like the issue is not the casual sex, the issue is the story context

I’m also sad for the people I won’t hear from again. So many have already deactivated or said goodbye. It’s not just breaking up with a pairing you love, it’s breaking up with the friends you made 😞

serving cunt even when he’s breaking hearts

crying.

im gonna go to sleep but I hope tim minear and everyone involved in how this storyline ended realize just how truly godawful of a message they’re sending. you highlight the hardships that older gay men have had to face and the trauma and then you show a gay man end his budding and sweet relationship bc he’s afraid to be hurt and you leave it at that. pain and devastation. no resolution. the gay man who’s faced theses battles gets to have his last moment be that of heartbreak and loneliness. tommy deserved better. gay men deserve better. if this is the way you want to end that story then you should be fucking ashamed.

I didn’t have the courage to come in here, I’m so so so sad 😭😭💔
