Callum’s Instagram post saying he is entirely satisfied with how his arc played out. Even guest stars are shading that man. 😂

STOP IT NONNY! listen. they really truly could have brought tmmy back!!!!! they have shown that he was / is very important to buck, enough to use up all his flour for baking to stop himself from reaching out! but that interview yesterday?!!? where he spent the entirety of it going on and on about how he was caught off guard, how tommy was feeling all sorts of ways, but somehow also throwing it all back on tim? okay dude. where was the praise for oliver and his performance on how he dealt with his character coming out as bisexual? where was the praise for the network in letting them explore a relationship like that in the first place? no, he spent the entire time going "woe, is me!" so yeah. callum is gonna go in a totally different direction with his time on the show because he's an actual professional.

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.)

[swiftiesbuddie]

i think buck deserved to be the one to break up with tommy

and tommy’s bigotry deserved to be addressed

[littleblackraincloudofcourse]

I know that Eddie being in most of Buck's scenes with Tommy is a narrative choice (their relationship was built around Eddie and he'll likely be the reason it ends), but I love the idea that Oliver simply hates working with Lou and insisted that Ryan be in their scenes for emotional support

[wowevenmoreloveonearth]

Conspiracy theory: the reason why eddie is in every bt 2.0 scene is actually just because oliver refused to be in a scene alone with that man and needs ryan there as emotional support

[wayfarers0]

very angry this morning thinking about how much money Lou Ferrigno Jr must have made from the cameos and is still making from the cameo messages and yet apparently he's the one who has been wronged in this situation?????

[hotandnonbinary]

to anyone who "feels bad for lfj"

dont <3 hes a bad person who chose to act in a movie with qanon theories

anyone who thinks theyre "letting go of a storyline with a gay character coming out later in life"

michael, buck, eddie (he's getting out)

BT BONES CANON

[mari-lwyd-cryptid-blog]

Ever since that man left Buck at the curb I couldn't care less for him or that ship. ( And I am multishipper usually ) Like it's fine to not want to date someone who is newly out but if you choose to take someone out who you know is, you don't do what tommy did. It's shitty. Nevermind the fact there is still is nothing in canon to suggest that tommy has even changed from his misogynistic and racist ways how are people wanting this for Buck? Also with the nepo baby actor who plays him starring in qanon movies and exploiting fans with cameos that aren't canon and yet his fandom acts like it is has been bizarre and horrible experience.

[sunflowerdigs]

...anyway, this completely unprofessional answer is exactly why Tommy is never coming back.

[chaoticbibuck]

everyone point and laugh

[cafecitoeddie]

certain people bitched and complained till they were blue that journalists were so unprofessional and so disgusting and so unbelievably biased because they dared to ship buddie and dared to ask a question about it. now this journalist, who very notably ships BT, made this man look like a complete narcissistic jerk who can't seem to accept that he's no longer employed at 911 on abc....... i'm sure the reaction to this interview will be the same, right? calling the interviewer unprofessional and biased or whatever.

Uhm.??

🤢🤢🤢

Every single interview I read from this guy just intensifies the ick vibes.

He wants to keep Buck as innocent as possible??? Way to infantilize a 30 something. Buck isn't "innocent" . Buck has experienced emotional neglect (abuse!) at the hands of his parents, physical and mental neglect both on and off the job, and - newsflash! - just because it took him until now to figure out that he isn't straight, doesn't mean he's never been affected by homophobia or biphobia. And if Tommy disregards all of that and is only dating Buck because Buck is "innocent" in his eyes, then Tommy doesn't love him. Tommy fetishizes him, either because of the age gap or because Buck is a baby bi, or maybe both. Icky!!!

Also. Tommy leaves Buck because of "how bad it is dating Tommy"? Huh? So why does he tell Buck that Buck will end up breaking Tommy's heart and not the other way around? Did we watch the same episode? Or has it just been so long since they filmed it all the way back in September that Mr. LFJr just doesn't remember the scene?

The last paragraph is the best one, though. That just reads like straight up gaslighting. Tommy didn't dump Buck because Buck sent a "full on firing range of assault of bad words" (???) at Tommy. Buck wanted to get serious and Tommy bailed on him. Ah yes, true love.

"It's so sad." I agree, Mr. Nepo Baby. It is so sad how so many people spend their actual hard earned money on word vomit like this.

Finally watched the episode, here are my thoughts, loosely in order:

Karma, jackass (when the guy drops the urn)

Eddie I love you but I cannot take you seriously with that mustache (the confessional scene)

THEY MADE ABBY/TOMMY CANON?? (self explanatory)

That's not supposed to do that!! (guy who sneezed out his intestines)

Fuck yeah!! BT breakup!! (give me all the hate you want, I hated the ship, I hate Tommy, and I sorta hate the actor)

THE STACHE IS GONE!! HE'S FREE!! (self explanatory)

Woo! Cool movie reference!! (Risky Business thing)

[lemmeaskthedevil]

It's crazy for Tommy to be like ew buck is gross because he's still more attractive with boils than Tommy will ever be

[buddiesmyship]

Okay, here's my take that no one asked for. lol

So, from what I've seen, Testicles makes a confession he doesn't realize is a confession. But it's enough to make Buck question their relationship. FINALLY! Buck talks to Maddie, and Josh likely just happens into their conversation but will have something important to say.

By the end of the episode, Buck will tell Testicles that the relationship isn't going to work. Then, he will show his true colors and say something like, "No big, I'm more interested in Eddie anyway."

I just really hope it will be the end of that piece of shit.

[saucerfulofsins]

Same anon as before, and wow, you really get it.

And I know we can’t really say for certain what he was meaning in those interviews…he seemed pretty scattered, and maybe he was coming off a certain way and we’re just reading it wrong. But I really don’t think so.

Judging from the stuff people found from his older social media days, he seems like a pretty misogynistic guy, and that typically goes hand in hand with being homophobic and a bigot. That’s just a fact.

I think it’s shitty for him to take a job playing a character that he in his real life would most likely want nothing to do with, but I guess if the money is right someone like that will do whatever.

My husband clocked it immediately and said, “oh this man is way too much of an asshole to play a gay man, he’s hating this.” And I was like, so you see it too??? I guess it wasn’t just my Buddie obsessed brain running into overdrive.

I think it’s a shame because Oliver clearly put so much care into playing a bi character and that meant so much to me as a bi person. Oliver did everything perfectly and is so sweet and gentle about it, and he got stuck with such a creep to do his scenes with. I just hope it’s over soon.

Yeah, so... like I said in the tags on my previous response, I know a lot of guys who aren't homophobic. Like, "will kiss other guys for fun" and "are open to the possibility of being attracted to/falling in love with a man" not-homophobic. (Also, these men are distinct from bicurious because they know they aren't into men).

And LFJ's interview read as the opposite. You know how sometimes people with no knowledge still sound like they're at least accepting, in their own way? This sounds like someone with minimal knowledge trying to pass as accepting. And he's failing.

Even if things are coming off wrong, I think it's pretty egregious that someone who is a professional actor doesn't interview well at all, as well as nobody who wants him portrayed positively stopping the release of this interview. I don't think ABC needs him to be a shining light of representation (I don't think they WANT him to be at this point, the interview matches the vibes in the deleted scene), but his agency not taking measures here is fucking weird.

But yeah. It's the while package isn't it? The egocentrism, the focus on masculine masculinity and being cool, the misogyny he doesn't even CLOCK (sorry but why did Hen have to prove herself BECAUSE shes a woman?), the whole "lgbt spectrum" thing (huerk red flag), the trump support, racism etc etc on top of the uhh nepo baby vibes all of which just fucking send me. So much of this ISNT difficult!

And like yeah, actually Oliver is the opposite end of the... for lack of a better word, spectrum. He uses the word bisexual! He's doing this with a very clear intention, he's very open about Buck, and I'll be honest, I find it VERY refreshing. I know some younger actors (late teens/early 20s) have been cool about queerness, but having someone my actual age have these takes is... very healing, I won't lie. Because there definitely is a big difference in those 10 years and how we grew up?

But yeah, I can't imagine Tommy staying on the show. The fact he was meant to stay for 4 is kinda telling to begin with, and I personally wouldn't be surprised if they leaned into LFJ's creep vibes to aid Tommy's characterization. That's interesting because LFJ doesn't seem to realize any of that which... very telling! Very limited!! Tommy and Buck aren't very close, but for me, his absence during Chim's bachelor party is VERY telling. There's no reason Tommy had to leave, from a writer's perspective. That emergency was fake. It wouldn't have taken much of LFJ's time to be at those shoots, especially considering he was there for some of it anyway. And the party was important to Buck!!!! (Eddie looked so bitchy! The Buddie couple costume to hammer their pairing home! Etc).

So yeah. I fully believe it will be over soon, because there's just nothing there and besides LFJ and a handful of fans, I haven't seen any full support for the pairing... least of all from the show. He's as flat as flat characters come, a complete stereotype, and that for a show that rests predominantly on its characters! It's pretty damning, actually.

I guess what I'm hoping for is Tommy showing up a couple more times, Buck realising Tommy's hella toxic AND recognising his own patterns, breaking up with him, and figuring out not just what bisexuality really means to him but also the kind of relationship BUCK wants (versus someone else prompting Buck/falling for ONE aspect of him and never seeing the rest). He deserves that much, above everything else, and I don't think Tommy is leaving ANY room for that (possibly the least of all his relationships) .
