Hi, a bit late but joining in on the @alliwantforchristmasislou project 🫶

I decided to donate to a polish organisation called the stonewall group (which is why the pic is in polish lol)

chose this one just because im the most familiar with this one, and they do amazing work in support of lgbt+ people and fighting for our rights in this... not so queer-friendly country 🫶

now, ive been in the 911 fandom for almost 4 years now (gonna be 4 in i think February), and i only started after the episode Buck actually bc it was allll over my dash. i binged the whole show in a week, before the next episode is even aired, I loved it SO much.

as most of y'all know, I initially shipped buddie - it was the big ship, ofc i did, i wrote so much fic for them and i had so much fun and met so many moots i still love seeing on my dash 🫶��️ but it might've been obvious (or not, idk) i was kinda getting bored and losing enjoyment, more and more of my fics and snippets were focusing on other characters with buck or eddie, i wasnt really as into it anymore - but i still loved it and wanted to enjoy it (which ironically was killed dead later on by the buddie fandom itself lmao)

and then came bucktommy and everything changed. initially i tried not to give in but within a few days i had two fics and more ideas lol they completely took over my thoughts. ive never been this inspired to write, to create, I even learned how to make gifs for them (with lots of help from amazing talented friends 🫶🤣) during fall and winter I always get so depressed and sad and having very dark and depressing thoughts (last year my buck driving fic was a result of that lol), and its so hard to find motivation to do anything, even write. but this year, even tho I had a lil crisis moment, i wrote through it and im as inspired as always - i havent stopped writing since april. they're literally the most inspiring ship ever - and fun fact, usually i prefer writing about fanon ships, so this was a huge change and surprise

I always related to buck a lot, and especially once we got his bisexuality canon - checking out and appreciating hot people of the same sex and not realizing what it means is too real lol - and Tommy is so compelling and theres so much potential for so many stories there, I wish the show would do something interesting with him 😭 despite being so confident and cool, he feels like he's holding back some sad, maybe (probably) traumatic backstory that could be so good and interesting - and lou is such a good actor and itd be amazing to see more from him in this role

they wrote tommy as the perfect love interest for buck, and it was amazing to see it on screen, it was such a breath of fresh air to see this kind of queer representation on a network show, it was so gentle and adorable, and they initially handled it with so much care, and id love to see where they'd go from there 😭 the break up broke my heart not only because it happened, but because it felt ooc and abrupt and not at all like that's where the story was going. wish they'd fix it and give us tommy back 😭🙏

and lastly but most importantly - thanks to bucktommy, i met so many amazing friends ❤️😭 even when I was writing fics and interacting with mutuals on here, i was never really talking to a lot of mutuals, not for longer than a few messages, and now i got this wonderful community that i feel so comfortable in, everyone is so nice and friendly, and I love y'all so much, this is the best fandom experience ive ever had ❤️

thank you all, ive been having so much fun since april, i love y'all. here's to more bucktommy in 2025 ❤️

Dear BuckTommy Nation!

This is a love letter to you all.

We have suffered this year.

We have been bullied, ridiculed, sent hate mail, abuse, and some of us even received death threats from the toxic Buddie fans.

But we are THRIVING!

We are strong.

We haven’t let them diminish our love for either Tommy or Lou.

We are still standing. We are united.

Whether you have managed to keep hope that Tommy will return, or whether you have accepted his loss from the show, we haven’t turned our backs on him.

We are the BuckTommy nation.

From me and cardboard Lou to all of you, Merry Lou-mas, Happy Holidays, keep thriving!

I am so thankful that 2024 brought me to the Bucktommy fandom. I was initially a Lonestar fan who found their way over to the OG. I binge-watched the first 6 seasons over a few short weeks and started season 7 live. I had already fallen in love with the show by that point, but the Bucktommy relationship took that to a whole new level. The relationship inspired me to write for the first time in over 15 years. It brought me wonderful new friends who have supported me and mean more to me than they know. Love my Golden Girls with my hole heart @sunnywithachanceofbi @judymarch15 @typicalopposite @nine-one-wanton and @herrmannhalsteadproduction.

This fandom is so special, and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. I am so hopeful that we will have more BT in 2025!

Thank you to @alliwantforchristmasislou for setting up this amazing thing! <3

Warning: I don't know how not to ramble, or make sense.

I don't work during the winter, and I'm trying to pay down debts so I can buy a house in 2025, so I unfortunately don't have any money to spare, but I wanted to express my gratitude to the BuckTommy nation for the joy they've brought me.

I started this silly little show last winter on a total whim. Ms. Angela Basset was always there on the title card whenever I opened Hulu so, bored with my endless amounts of reading, I decided to give it a go. Immediately I was drawn in. I loved their dynamics. The stories. Peter Krause's acting, especially in the scene where he breaks down on the couch with Hen and Buck? Yeah, my overly empathetic self was like, this show is mine now.

Mind you, I didn't binge watch it all at once. I took short little breaks, never feeling the need to power through them all. And then, BuckTommy happened. All of a sudden, I had a reason to catch up and catch up I did. I can't tell you precisely why I was so drawn to them, but I have some ideas.

For once, we had a pair of equally masculine men showing affection towards each other. Neither of them could be relegated to the "woman" role. They weren't stereotypically effeminate, but they went against the alpha male stereotypes. You had two men who had been mentally neglected all their lives, into adulthood, who came out the other side being people that wanted to serve and protect for all they were worth. They had trauma, but outside of Buck's sex addiction - Buck 1.0 - they didn't let their trauma define them. They showed affection, not just to the women around them, but to their friends and chosen family. They said "I love you" with their actions. Buck was allowed to have "feminine" hobbies without being effeminate, and maybe to some that's not a big deal but to me that is. Tommy, who could be questionably called more effeminate, was allowed to have more stereotypically "masculine" hobbies despite being a Kinsey 6.

That's a huge deal on broadcast TV. The general audience has certain expectations, as much as they sometimes suck - they're not known for being the most progressive folks in the world - so the fact that the show was allowed to stick it to them was just... an amazing experience. As someone who's only other experience with masculine GAY men on TV was Ian and Mickey, whom I love dearly, it was such a nice change of pace. Also, the fact that they're both mature men? Also a huge deal. I love Alec, from Shadowhunter's, but he's still pretty young, and he's known he was gay for a very long time. Patrick and David from Schitt's Creek? They knew, and David(?) still has a very effeminate air about him, despite being confirmed pansexual.

All this is to say, that BuckTommy drew me in until they had a chokehold on me. I started using Tumblr again, started diving back into fanfiction in a way I hadn't since Kuroko no Basuke. I've produced more fics for the 911 fandom in six months than for any other fandom I've ever written for. And I've been in fandoms since circa 2007? And that's insanely impressive. BuckTommy drew me back into broadcast TV. I literally yell at my brother when the show is on to not talk to me, or bother me, for the next hour. I've got like... Four shows I wait for weekly now, TV antenna and all.

BuckTommy's have also been some of the kindest, most interesting, people I've had the pleasure of "knowing." Every single day I have things to look forward to in the tag, whether it's fics, or art, or headcannons, or honestly - my favorite - complaints about how the relationship ended and how the writers done fucked up. You guys are so amazing, and I love all of you that I've ever interacted with.

I'm PRAYING to see Lou, and Tommy, again in 2025, but even if he doesn't, I'm back for the long haul. You guys dragged me back from the brink of destruction after the break-up, I've never lost it over a fictional ship like that before in my LIFE, and I've decided that I'm here for good.

Merry fucking Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you all.

Done and done.

Dear ABC,

The (BuckTommy) attachment says it all. The Buck & Tommy relationship has so much unrealized potential and deserves so much better than what we got. The character of Tommy Kinard has so much unrealized potential and deserves to be happy. That breakup was out of character, came out of nowhere and was poorly written. I haven’t been able to watch the show since. Please give them another chance. Give us fans who love them another chance. Give Lou Ferrigno Jr, who put his heart and soul into this role, another chance. All we want for Christmas is Lou!

[aesthetictarlos]

I'm serious when I say that bucktommy changed me as a person. I used to stay off socials the day after the episode aired because I hated spoilers (and somehow I always managed to avoid them eheh) but ever since Tommy kissed Buck... Well, I've just woken up and the first thing I did was to open Tumblr and scroll.

It's so good to wake up to a happy dash!!!

Idk when I'll manage to watch the episode but I'm so happy for our guys ❤️ and Buck called him HIS BOYFRIEND OH MY GOD IT'S A WONDERFUL TIME TO BE ALIVE

[here-there-be-fics]

I love the bucktommy fandom 😂

Just woke up to #tommybubblesbuck and laughed while I liked all the comments on the instagram post.

I hate that I miss everything fun in fandom being in the Southern Hemisphere!!!

But also I'm really proud because we're having fun, not being arseholes, having our say in a pretty much united coherant way, all while writing mpreg.

No other fandom could do it quite like us.

My heart is being held together at the seams at the moment and this is easing the pain beyond measure ❤️

[cyborgsara]

Ah how I've missed Lou's interviews where you can really see his train of thought (it's getting derailed but we love it here) 🩷😆

Buck when he sees Tommy’s tiddies for the first time

[mintedwitcher]

when the ep airs if everyone could just come here and spoil it for me so I don't have to put myself through another near hour of Pain for the sake of closure that I genuinely do not believe we'll get, that'd be great, thanks bucktommy nation <3

[uraharashusband]

is anyone else getting a bunch of anti Tommy/anti BuckTommy stuff on their feed? i haven’t been interacting with stuff like that but it keeps on popping up. it’s actually really annoying😭.

[poobur79]

Ok now we know there’s a cute deleted BuckTommy scene in the truck post-cemetery. We want to see it, of course we want to see it. We’re all chewing at our bars now after that interview.

But we all know what NOT to do, right?
