#but bucktommy had a special something and it got me into 911

mourning a fictional queer relationship YET AGAIN

[goldenhand9107]

thing I noticed about the music!

i had a weird thing constantly in the back of my head while I binged 9-1-1 over the past few days. and that was the music.

(and i mean the score, not the soundtrack. soundtrack is a whole other can of worms)

this is network television. the score isn't anything super special or standout, but it's alright. it was composed by Mac Quayle, who I know from Mr. Robot, and Todd Haberman. unfortunately, it's unreleased, meaning I can't point to names of specific pieces but they reuse a lot of motifs so they're pretty recognizable to any fans of the show.

and, being me, who has a spotify playlist with over 500 pieces of music from various movies, tv shows and games, and an ear for this stuff, there is one thing that stood out.

like i said there's recognizable motifs. the tense actiony one that plays during a call, the goofy one with what sounds like a washboard (? i may be so wrong here) that plays whenever they're bantering in the firehouse or something comedic happens. the soft piano that plays whenever there's a quiet emotional moment between two characters (which i affectionately started calling the "911 feelings music" in my head). but the thing that really got to me, that was sitting in the back of my head for the whole time I was watching,

Buck and Tommy's theme is new.

at least as far as I could tell! I started this show because I rewatched their kiss scene like 80 times, I have that shit memorized at this point. and when I started picking up that they reuse a lot of their pieces, I started listening specifically for the floaty piano and guitar piece that plays right after the BuckTommy kiss. it's not super unique or distinctive from every other piece of score used in the show, but I never heard it in any other moment, so I'm pretty sure it's brand new for them!

and that just makes me so happy that I felt like I had to share.

I felt the same way I felt about the first BuckTommy kiss tbh when this happened.

I watch a lot of tv shows. It’s my main special interest. I’m also a kinky queer person and I don’t recall ever before having someone make a kinky joke on network tv in the same way a kinky person would. Without the comical undertones of “making fun of kink” or “oh this is awkward” or “hahah Dean got sent to a kink club poor him” (spn peeps remember).*

It was something I’d actually say. It was a positive joke.

911 already had some kink positive aspects (bathena is living testament) but always showed in a comical key - getting stuck to the bed, May catching her parents etc.

This was queer AND flirty AND not comical at all. There was no punchline.

I got fucking emotional over a daddy joke and I’m not even sad about it.

*if you know other shows or points even in 911 that are kink positive in this way and I missed, please tell me!!

Of my works on ao3, probably Soulmates Come and Go. It's a Falsettos Whizvin fic. I love the comment on it that just says "*sobs*"

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I might say those hands pulled me from the earth just cause it being the start of something very sweet

Do you get hate on fics?

I don't think so? I think I did a little bit when I wrote when I was younger, but not anymore

Do you write smut?

nah, just not my thing to write

Craziest crossover:

i don't think i've ever actually written a crossover?

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not to my knowledge

Have you ever had a fic translated?

not that i know of

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

nope

All time favourite ship?

okay- so this is extremely difficult but, whizvin, lesbians from next door, reed900 have a special place in my heart

but of course lately with the purpose of this blog as a 911 blog- buddie and bucktommy are up there too.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

On the Cliff of Crazy aha, another Falsettos fic. I had this whole big plan for it, but just got busy at the time and never finished it and I haven't done anything with it since 2017

What are your writing strengths?

uh excellent question, next?

but maybe my dialogue? I don't think it sounds awkward and stilted?

What are your writing weaknesses?

i often write sentences that make sense in my head, but not out loud or to anyone else. so i'm working on trying to pick them out to edit those in my own writing.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I think it's cool! I've considered using the language i speak (other than english) in fics but i've had no where to use it that it fully makes sense yet.

First fandom you wrote in?

Supernatural- not on ao3, just on tumblr back in like 2016
