#bucktommy broke up

[weewookinard]

2024 is just a huge joke for real

It's a beautiful thing, isn't it? Having a crew like this behind you, even when things go wrong. Especially when things go wrong.

season 7 › season 8 requested by anon

to be clear: i'm not mad at tommy, or buck, or oliver, or lou. i loved tommy's side of the breakup. i loved everything we learned about him as a person. he's falling for buck and already thinks that buck can break his heart. i loved the self sabotaging, it's delicious characterization. i loved buck's side of the breakup. he's not at i love you yet but he's ready for more. i hope we see him actually react to this breakup and have feelings about it. i didn't love the abby engagement but i loved the abby of it all — the invisible string just lit up like a glowing neon sign and became canon. if this is temporary, if they're playing the long game, this is such a delicious arc and it's everything i wanted. but if this is goodbye forever then i'm hurt and confused and really upset. yeah i'm gonna mourn not being able to see tommy's sweet face on my screen for the next however long.

i feel really bad for the people who deprived themselves of buck falling in love with a man for the first time. i think about it and i get giddy. imagine thinking about buck experiencing queer love for the first time and getting genuinely angry or disappointed.

Is it too much to ask that Eddie be full on bawling at the BuckTommy Wedding because his best friends are getting married and he can’t think of anyone better for them to be marrying, only for him to deliver the most savage roast of them for his speech at the reception?

also u ever think how wild it is that a single texting bubble from tommy is pretty much more content than we have ever got from one of buck's exes post-breakup before, other than abby coming back for one ep for closure lmao. like even if the show flops on anything else abt the breakup from here, it's ridiculous that im happy over the fact they didnt just men in black memory wipe his full identity from the show 💀

Season 8 arc I want for Buck: he settles down with Tommy step by step and he doesn't feel like this relationship doomed or that he will be betrayed/left behind soon( even tho they have major angst to make their connection deeper)

But even with some angst his love life finally not his biggest problem and mostly the only thing he persuades and what's why he starts thinking what he wants to persuade in career. And he doesn't feel ready to be a captain for now, but he wants to use his good engineering and detective brain (we saw evidence of both through all the seasons) to learn how to investigate arsons (like Severide from Chicago fire if you watched). So he stays in 118 ofc but takes courses and becomes really good investigator too

And it is Tommy, who offered him it as a variant, when Buck talks with him that he wants to try something new in career, but he doesn't know what. As Tommy knows Buck loves mysteries and detective work so he knows Buck will love it. And Buck really loves study for this job. And Tommy helps him and supports him through the studying

(I'd also love Buck end the season solving big case about serial arsonist)

(this way we can also find out more about LAFD as whole as we almost never see anything out of 118)

Just one last petty post before I go.

You know how BoBs keep saying they would stop watching the show if Tommy was still there? But they kept tuning in every week out of the belief that their ship would be canon?

A lot of us are actually going to stop watching, at least for the rest of the season.

I understand fandom is an infinite decimal part of the bigger picture, but at least we're actually doing something lol We take the show for what it is, and leave if we don't like it anymore.

You should only do things you like, that's how you keep living.

Me and the girlies rn:

Hi can everyone stop throwing around claims about biphobia and whatever else! You can of course be sad about bucktommy breaking up if you liked the ship but to imply it’s the networks biphobia or some bullshit like that is just insane! Buck is bisexual that’s canon, he doesn’t have to kiss men or be in a relationship with a man to make his sexuality valid in any way and that’s exactly what yous are implying by saying the BT breakup is biphobic! They aren’t erasing bi buck, they aren’t erasing queer characters, they have had queer characters since the start of the show. If they didn’t want buck in a relationship with a man they wouldn’t have done it in the first place! They would have allowed buck to have his bi realisation and not put him in a relationship. The BT breakup is just another plot point that has no sinister reasoning behind it! Yous are acting like in the breakup scene Tommy didn’t say stuff about how this isn’t his last, Tommy was just his first implying there is more relationships to come. There is no erasure happening. To tank reviews of an episode and complain to show runners under the guise of biphobia or interference from show runners/network instead of just saying you wish BT was endgame is insane and everyone needs to take a breather.

hey weirdly they apparently can write characters whom you feel for even if they’re not genuinely good people. brad’s scenes in 8x08 were emotional and good. they gave him more personality than fucking thomas kinard got ever since he came. they’re both not necessarily the best people in the world and they had their issues with treating people like shit. sure do wonder why brad gets more attention than tommy ever did

Lost the Breakup is so BuckTommy coded rn

[sorryimlatecapt]

genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, can we agree to leave each other alone now? i don't care which "side" you're on, if you're upset or feeling smug about this development but for the love of god can we please just move the fuck on? if you were into bucktommy, great, if you weren't, great. but don't go into each other's inboxes and harrass each other over this. the week has already been bad enough so let's actually try to not make it worse, please

[bisexualbrainrots]

you know what's gets me all ??? about the break up?

is that I don't think any other LI has broken up with him like this.

I'm really trying to remember and at best it could be ali?? but even then it felt finished. this doesn't feel like it.

and I know, most likely lou's contract is up and that's it. but I feel like I need something more, at least a scene where buck talks about it and allows himself to feel it.

i've been realizing that soooo many bucktommy shippers are attached to them because they got into the show in APRIL. they're here for bucktommy first and foremost (which is OKAY!!!) and everyone else has just been here longer and 1. knows how the show handles bucks relationships, 2. ALREADY cared about the show for other reasons (henren, madney, specific favorite characters, writing, natural disaster plots, etc). this isn't a dig at people who mostly care about the ships/buck i promise!! but understanding that people are hurting so bad because the reason they loved the show in the first place is now gone put a lot of fan reaction into perspective for me. if hen, chim, eddie, or buck LEFT THE SHOW i'd be pretty damn miserable about it because they are the core reasons that i love 911. let's have some empathy tonight. we've all been on the wrong side of a ship breakup.

bucktommy shippers i am sorry that you're hurting, even if this post doesn't apply to you. i know this sucks and i feel for you. my username is from an unceremoniously canceled queer tv show. it's just hard to be a fan who cares.
