Welcome to My Blog

Hi, and welcome! This blog is dedicated to celebrating Lou Ferrigno Jr. and his incredible portrayal of Tommy on 9-1-1. His performance, and the deeply meaningful relationship between Tommy and Buck, resonated with me in ways I never expected.

As a butch, straight-acting gay man, I rarely see myself represented on screen—especially in stories that break the usual stereotypes. Tommy and Buck’s relationship was powerful, authentic, and refreshing, showing that love between two masculine men can exist without compromise. It was a rare moment of true representation, and for the first time in a long time, I felt seen.

Lou Ferrigno Jr.’s performance brought light into a dark time in my life. His work gave depth and honesty to a character that so many of us connected with. That’s why the Season 8, Episode 6 breakup hit so hard—it felt like losing something rare and important.

This blog is my way of honoring both the actor and the character. It’s a space to celebrate, discuss, and appreciate the impact of Tommy and Lou’s performance. If this storyline meant something to you too, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here.

If a Daddy kink reference is sending y'all into this kind of hysteria, you may want to check yourself. Just a guess here, but maybe you're also the same people who refer to Buck as a malewife every time he cooks in an apron like you've never seen a goddamn chef in your lives.

That is heteronormative nonsense. Just stop. No one is actually fucking their father. It's a kink. And it's BARELY EVEN A KINK. We are getting a canon gay/bi couple on network television, in full glory.

I just hope whatever Lou Ferrigno jr is up to today that he has a nice peaceful sunday evening and has all social media notifications turned the fuck off.

okay, hear me out. a time travel fic but it's post break up Buck who travels back (maybe the serial killer gets him?). and once he gets over the fact that this is not in fact another coma dream, he starts to enjoy getting a 2nd chance at everything. except then he realises Tommy is out here somewhere too so he looks him up and strikes up a friendship. then obviously he thinks, wow, I have a chance to get things right this time around. but then he realises this tommy is very different from his tommy who was simultaneously more jaded but also more healed than this one. so Buck, the fixer, decides fuck this shit, I'm gonna get the man but also fix everything wrong in his life so cue, wooing of the century and in doing so, he inadvertently makes sure that Tommy never ends up with the guy who is evidently responsible for the 'first cannot be the last' trauma. bonus points if there's a scene where tommy visibly chooses buck over that guy

You know the entire crew howled with laughter the second they yelled 'cut'. I can just see both Lou and Oliver laughing so hard they cried. Lou probably did that 15 different ways and flubbed the line half the time 'cos he was too amused by it.

Release the bloopers!
