#anti bummies

[beenadoonabc]

In a flash of morbid curiosity I unblocked the Bvcktommy tag (who doesn't like to suffer on a Friday?) and lo and behold, what do I see?

So first they were wrong about, uh, pretty much everything (a summary of that can be found here for example), and now the cousin has a new contract.

Well, isn't that convenient.

The people who believe a word nqvesv says are the same people who shill out hundreds of dollars for LFJr's weird (and as of yesterday's interview actively creepy) headcanons, and you can't change my mind.

(Tag is blocked again, I don't actually hate myself that much.)

[deluweil]

What in the amount of blocked bummies tell my "for you" dash that I want more loons on my dash?

Just when I thought I blocked them all, another racist bummy rears his ugly head on my for you dash and bash Eddie, before even watching S8.

Yes, we get it you joined in for the two white males and the daddy kink joke, but for the love of God at least try to watch the entire thing before spouting crap like a racist old man with a 'stache getting along with the brown haired tanned Latino on his crew, that even if he kept his head down he would still make a handsome target if only for his skin color and slight accent.

Oh and also his last name.

All you white ppl need to just shut up and see where the wind blows, before you start to sound unobjectively racist while hating the racist captain for MAYBE picking on the one white male of the group.

And how the hell are they still only five?!

I want Ravi. But that's for another post. Probably for the best, though, for him to return after Gerrard kicks it out to early forced retirement. (De ja vu anyone?)

[i-will-say-what-i-believe]

Funny how the whole of 118 DID NOT support Buck calling that tyrannosaurus rex back😂

Bobby actually compared it to ALCOHOLISM!! A FREAKING addiction that ruins lives!!

Eddie SNATCHED his phone to prevent him texting back & Hen HELPED in keeping it away

Eddie said "We KNOW you're serious & THAT'S what SCARES us"! The SAME man who was once hanging out with the guy & thought it "clicks"!

Maddie asked Buck to MOVE ON & that the universe will give him a SPECIAL PERSON!

They all REALLY hated that Timmy's guts😂😂😂😂

[stolenkissesdiaz]

it’s insane to me that ppl are SHOCKED buck and tommy broke up? from the beginning we knew it wasn’t going to last? tommy was a plot device? they didn’t know until last minute if they were gonna do it with buck or eddie iirc? tommy literally got buck basketball tickets for their 6 month anniversary, when buck hating basketball was one of the reasons bucktommy even became a thing? and ur…mourning a queer relationship talking about how it’s HOMOPHOBIC to break them up? i’d actually say keeping buck in a relationship he wasn’t appreciated/heard/seen in is homophobic and dumb. like it was HIS FIRST KISS WITH A GUY AND NOT TWO SECONDS LATER THEYRE DATING. like let buck explore and enjoy??? it’s also so unrealistic to make them endgame when, again, ITS BUCKS FIRST QUEER RELATIONSHIP. *blank stare* be so serious rn. don’t even get me started on how fucked up them getting together was after the shit tommy pulled by leaving buck, WHO JUST REALIZED HE WAS QUEER, on the curb after their first date bc buck didn’t come out in the middle of the restaurant to his best friend and his gf. as if tommy himself wouldn’t understand EXACTLY how buck feels or why he would panic and not tell eddie like. *wide eyed blank stare*

Never have I ever cackled as loud as I did when everyone was getting that “all clear, stick around for cast signing pls” text from Hen, and Tommy just. wasn’t in the groupchat. Despite actually being present. And then he actually had to ask what had everyone so relieved in order for Buck to notice. The episode sure did use it as a segue into Buck solving the curse problem, but my goodness, that was so loud??? Since it’s a show and not real life, no need for the “oh, Hen was just distracted by the stress of Denny literally flatlining in front of her!!” because everything has to mean something. And this episode was full of “something doesn’t fit here” moments regarding Tommy. Eddie was in Buck’s hospital room while Tommy arrived freshly changed after work and hovered on the outside of their space for a good chunk of that scene, Buddie had to tag team some basic info to Tommy in that hospital scene, Tommy had to call in Eddie to look at Buck’s boils, Buck saying “I trust you” to Eddie about the curse, and of course everyone but Tommy getting the all clear text from Hen. Literally just, Hen does not care about that man, he is a temporary fixture in their lives, he will never be a part of the family they’ve all chosen to build, no matter how much he wants to be.

[thegayestdiaz]

i don’t mean to be one of those people that keep going on and on about what they hate but i literally cannot stop thinking about how buckt*mmy’s first date fills me with incandescent rage.

why did you, an older gay man that came out later in life and knows how homophobic people in your line of work can be, ask a newly-discovered technically-closeted bisexual man out on a date if you were going to treat him that way? like this guy has not come out to anyone, he’s on his first date with a guy in public and already tense, and then his best friend walks in and because he’s not ready to come out on the spot, he overcorrects and yeah it’s the most awkward thing ever but you already knew he was an awkward person? so why did you make a closet joke and them ditch him in the middle of the date with barely any explanation, leave him on the literal side of the road and then ghost him? and then he apparently has to apologise to you?

[vintagebyers]

i’m about to say something i’m sure a lot of people don’t want to hear, but i truly cannot fathom the hold tommy kinard has on half this fandom. he is more of a cardboard cutout of a character than anything. the majority of the (very little) time he’s been on screen, he’s been more irritable than likable. the closet comment on their first date? sure, let’s say something like that in front of buck’s best friend and potentially out him. tommy of all people should’ve understood that it is a struggle to accept your sexuality. the daddy issues comment?? CRAZY in the context of the situation, and in no way the serve he thought it was. tommy has mentioned he’s jealous of buck twice now, and yet people still don’t see the red flags of it all. not to mention his past of racism and sexism, which most conveniently brush aside. though god forbid, the person who acted like this was a woman. the pitchforks for her character would of been immediate…

[upallnightallday]

What pisses me off more than anything is claming that two white men kissing is somehow "historical lgbtqa+ rep". When in the show we have:

Henren. From the very begining two POC women raising a child who both are badasses at their jobs.

Michael. The man that had wife and children and decided to finally come out of the closet. And they made it work as a family unit eventually.

Because of Michael's story, even Eddie's gay awakening wouldn't be historical. Buck and Tommy are actually very stereotypical representation of gay relationships (and that is one of the biggest reasons why it pisses me off).

What would be somewhat historical is buddie going canon. Because it would mean that we have actual slowburn queer ship that got the on-screen development that hetero ships get. I love Tarlos, but even their relationship was speedrun from hook-up to relationship.

But yeah. Don't call white boys kissing historical just because you find them hot. That has been done time and time again.

[eddiediazismyhusband]

people will really say eddie is a bad partner for buck bc he’s got repressed feelings, PTSD, and mental health issues, while simultaneously saying that someone who has actively dismissed buck’s interests, been condescending, and was actively complacent in workplace racism is his “forever love” and “his soulmate.”

they argue that we aren’t giving tommy room to grow and be developed when the show has not even tried to do so, and had continually isolated him as this uninterested 3rd party who does not matter past him kissing buck.

eddie is extremely repressed, and has so much trauma from his past that has kept him bottles up for decades— these are feelings he has only ever been comfortable enough to show to buck… a clear indication that clearly there is something there to examine. his past relationships have always failed because they were built off of a sense of obligation, not actually feelings. No that is not bthe fault of any of his LI’s, but that is also not his fault that he feels pressured into doing that to begin with. The only people he has ever fully been himself around and has felt fully comfortable with opening up to have been buck and christopher. He is a different person with buck than he is with any of his LI’s.

He is also one of the only people who views Buck for who he really is. To eddie, buck is not a figure in his life, he is not some role to fill, he is an equal in every way. This would not change if they were to persue a relationship. Buck and Eddie genuinely are the only ones who have ever been able to match each other’s energies in a way that transcends friendship and a working partnership. Once eddie realizes why his past relationships haven’t worked he will realize that buck is who he needs.

And when Buck realizes he is more than just face value, more than “defective parts,” more than a pretty boy, more than his reckless behavior, and that he deserves someone who actually sees him as an equal, then he will fully be able to thrive in a relationship. He does not need someone who wants him to fit a mold (taylor, after they started to fuck her character over), he does not need someone who views him as reckless (ali and taylor), he does not need someone who is only interested in his trauma and near death experiences (natalia), he does not need someone who is constantly talking down to him and shows no interest in him past kissing (tommy)

he needs someone who trusts him with his soul, someone who has his back… someone with whom he can do the same. and that has always been eddie. we have seen it time and time again that their other relationships are never compatible in the end— but that isn’t because they are “just bad at relationships.” it’s because they are both more committed to each other than they can ever be to anyone else, and nothing will change that, and until they realize that they are still going to run through failed relationships. until they realize that they are who each other needs, they are going to continue breaking hearts/getting their heart broken.

anyway sorry for the rant, i just get tired of seeing the argument that eddie would somehow be a bad partner for buck when he’s the only one who has ever matched buck’s energy and actually saw him for him rather than some other version of him, and vice versa.

SMH! This scene between Eddie and Chris WAS NEEDED!

It should have been included instead of that daddy kink BS with BuckT*mmy, those long ass scenes with the Diaz parents or the long ass scene with Eddie and the doppelganger in 7x9. 🙄

I'm so pissed that we didn't get this in 7x9 or the finale. If we would have seen it, things would have made more sense and Chris' departure wouldn't have seemed so abrupt.

This is all due to KR's raggedy way of handling pacing and timing! Why did viewers have to suffer through that cartel nonsense when Athena should have been at the hospital with Bobby? And what was up with that neighbor who was in her burned down house? Those were wasted minutes too. 🙄

One more thing... so they just keep retconning Eddie’s backstory with Shannon. In 6x16 he said they met when they were 14 in 8th grade then they reconnected in the 12th. He never said they met at the lake and he also said she was his first girlfriend but in this scene he said she wasn't.

Can the showrunner and the writers please get EDDIE’S STORY CORRECT BY LOOKING AT THE PAST EPISODES OR IS THIS SOMETHING ELSE EDDIE MADE UP ABOUT THEIR HISTORY?

[chaoticbibuck]

eddie once again haunting the bucktommy relationship 😈

[makorragal-312]

Okay, I'm a little lost here...

If Tommy already knew that his and Buck's relationship wasn't going to last since it was Buck's first, why the fuck did he pursue it in the first place?

And if you take into account that line he said about Buck taking Eddie with him to the Lakers game, it makes it sound as though he knew Buck was craving Eddie's attention the entire time, but chose to ignore just for the opportunity to get a kiss and more out of him.

Which is really fucking shitty.

[deluweil]

They are like warts,

No matter how many I block, or what tag I follow,

My for you page still makes sure they jump scare my dash.

Fuck you Tumblr.

Hold on, let’s break this down. At the beginning of season 7, we see Tommy positioned between Buck and Eddie, which immediately sets the tone for some kind of interference in Buck and eddies relationship:

As the season progresses, Tommy and Eddie start to develop a close connection, and that close connection does in fact cause a few disruptions in Buck and eddies relationship. Then, we see Buck caught in the middle of Eddie and Tommy:

What happens later in the episode? Yeah. Buck develops something with Tommy.

During the bachelor party scene, Eddie is now placed between Buck and Tommy, reinforcing the idea that he’s gonna become a key figure in the dynamic between Buck and Tommy and possibly cause some, how do I say this? Issues- but season 7 didn’t really dive into that narrative, they instead let Buck and Tommy dwell in the relationship for the time being.

But recently, in 8x01, Eddie is once again physically positioned between Buck and Tommy during the bday call. All of these moments seem to be deliberate choices in terms of how the characters are arranged:

It only makes sense, given the repeated imagery, that Eddie is now going to be the unforeseen obstacle—the hurdle that disrupts whatever is happening between Buck and Tommy. Eddie’s presence, and Bucks close relationship with Eddie, whether he’s aware of it or not, is likely going to cause some friction between Buck and Tommy moving forward, creating tension or complications in their relationship.

After reading Tim’s and Oliver’s interview. I really believe this is the direction they’re taking it.

I’m confident in the theory and I can’t be the only who thinks this, but who knows, I could be wrong💀

Either way, my clown makeup is ready to be put on!

[stolenkissesdiaz]

between the excitement of the breakup and the couch scene i completely forgot to talk about this. even on their goddamn date, six month anniversary mind you, edmundo ramon diaz was once again mentioned. haunting the narrative all the way from the confessional box and being flirted with by a priest. *gets up from seat and slowly claps as a wide grin forms on my face* THATS MY DIVA!! 💜

[1doesnotsimplyhavejust1fandam]

Half questioning my memory of the post s4 era, half side eying a certain character, so correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think there was ever a time when the Buddie fandom fully took the single “Evan” from the season 4 finale as Eddie receiving “Evan” privileges from then on. From my recollection, fics stayed mostly consistent with their uses of “Evan” by Eddie, perhaps just with an emphasis on important moments (love confessions, Christopher’s adoption papers, wedding vows, NDEs, etc.) after the finale. And I had to stop myself from wondering why that is because I know why. We all know. Because nobody wanted to use “Evan” in fics when Buck had just told his parents that people who know him call him Buck. So Buddie fandom heard that, accepted it, and uses it only sparingly. In canon and fanon, even Maddie only rarely uses “Evan” anymore, and it feels even less common for her to use post-Buck Begins (if at all, actually). So the fact that Tommy and BT fans tend to use “Evan” (at least, this has been my experience) is so utterly jarring. Buck told everyone his preference, and I believe LFJ has spoken about being told to use only “Evan” when referring to Buck, so I simply do not understand anyone who believes that BT is in love already or endgame. Yes, it could go the “Buck gave Tommy ‘Evan’ privileges off-screen” route, but then why push it off-screen? It would be a major allowance made for a new love interest, and a significant step in Buck’s character arc. Yet we see nothing of the sort. So why would anyone believe that’s what happened? The last we heard, Buck had told his parents and everyone else to call him Buck exclusively, with the minimal exception of Maddie (who was, for most of his childhood, his one and only lifeline and confidant). That sort of history and characterization is not ignored if there is not something very wrong with the writers’ room. It was not even ignored by a significant portion of the fandom post-season 4, although Eddie gaining permanent “Evan” privileges would’ve been a strong indicator of a Buddie endgame (had an on-screen explanation of Eddie gaining this privilege been released). It was not ignored, and it did not change the nature of Buck in fic nor fanon. So why in hell is the same not holding true for a brand new relationship like BT?
