More from break up/make up mpreg . I need just to end two time slots and it's done. TAG LIST

Buck is 20 weeks pregnant:

“Ok, ok, you little monster, we will go to Micelli’s to get spumoni,” Buck says to his still pretty small belly, compared to the one Maddie had on the same stage. Doctors said it’s because of his height. He loves his bump a lot. It’s so beautiful and it shows enough right now that people don’t look at him strange, when he speaks to the baby, as it was in the first trimester.

He will get to Micelli’s for spumoni and then get home to bake cheesecake for Tommy to see him tomorrow. He doesn’t let his brain imagine how it will go. That's why today he was working with clipboards all over the station, before coming home. Lists kept him busy enough.

He parks and gets inside the restaurant, happy that it’s Thursday night so the palace should not be crowded, but his heart stops when he sees Tommy laughing and holding hands with a pretty man.

Hope leaves him again. His heart aches and cries in pain, but he refuses to let this man break it again. He runs to the jeep and leaves the place. He will find spumoni somewhere else. Not where the man, he doesn’t want in his life because he just so easily replaced Buck with a new toy, has dinner with said toy.

At home, crying in his bath full of water and lavender oil, he texts Lucy about plan change and why. He does not want Thomas Kinard near his baby. If a man wants to be a father, he can knock up this man with too tight jeans and too transparent crop top.

...

“You and I are better off without him anyway, right, love? You and I against the world?”

(nickname ) kicks and Buck can feel it not just inside but outside too. It makes him cry happy tears, “your first kick! Oh, your uncle Eddie would be so angry he missed it,” Buck chuckles, “I love you (first and middle name). So much.”

And for James his cameo 😉:

“One more push, Buck, and they are here,” his midwife, James - a really pretty young man with the most inspiring and sweet smile Buck has ever seen - instructs. Buck does exactly that, pushing with all the last strength he has, when he hears the most beautiful sound. His baby's cry.

Funniest headcanons?

Okay wow I have so many crack headcanons so prepare yourself. Take every negative thing I’ve ever said abt fanon and throw it out the window, this is about to get so unserious

• Hanako is a fudanshi. This applies to the whole Toilet Gang (except Nene would be called a fujoshi), they’ve got a little book club. Hanako is the most insane about it tho

• Aoi and Akane are a himejoshi/himedanshi couple

• Lemon and Akane smoke weed together on a regular basis (throw back to the time I looked up “slang words for marijuana” for my Terukaneaoi fic and ended up sounding like Skyler White)

• I feel like an average conversation between the Toilet Gang is the most insufferable, out of pocket middle school humor you’ve ever heard in your life. Those four make South Park look like a kids show

• Akane has a random lock of Aoi’s hair on a shelf in his room

• Since the Minamoto father is absent and the mother is dead, Tiara just kind of assumes Teru and Akane are her parents. Instead of correcting her on this, Akane decides to be the dad who stepped up

• Akane is one of those filmbros who does NOT play abt Pulp Fiction (me) (that’s the second time I’ve mentioned that movie in relation to Akane today)

• He’s also the type to ask you to name three Nirvana songs if he catches you wearing one of their shirts and if you even so much as think about saying Smells Like Teen Spirit, he’ll shoot you in the head

• Hanako is lowkey mad Kou and Mitsuba started dating without him

• In the TBHK universe, Mei is the one who drew the Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson image

• Nene writes reader insert fan fiction

• She’s also a BookTok girlie (not one of the really bad ones, just cringy. As in she would unironically love the book boyfriend audio)

• Sakura is rly into disturbing movies and they make Natsuhiko watch them with them just to make him nauseous

• Hanako and Kou jokingly flirt with each other and it makes Mitsuba and Nene genuinely mad. Like Hanako can ruin Mitsuba’s day with a single “I can take your man”

• Yk that one image of Cheryl Blossom wearing an “I ❤️ Boys” shirt? Teru owns that shirt

• Akane is the type of dude to raise his hand during a class discussion and say “I’d like to play the Devil’s Advocate”

• Aoi flirts with waitresses very poorly and it gives Nene severe secondhand embarrassment

• Once a week, Natsuhiko challenges Teru to a fight. She loses every single time

• Nene has one of those traumatic hamster death stories

• Mitsuba’s hair is dyed so whenever he’s being particularly annoying, Tsukasa tells him his roots are showing

• Kou and Nene have had one of those awkward “I have a crush on someone🤭 And it’s someone you know veryyyy well👀” moments

• Sumire used to climb to the highest places she could find to get Hakubo’s attention, and it gave him a mini heart attack each time

• OG Mei had a fursona. It was a dragon

• Yk in Spongebob when Squidward was confirmed to be the most miserable person in all of the Bikini Bottom?? In the TBHK universe that’s Akane except it’s for all of Japan

• Teru has given the “I’m vengeance, I am the knight” speech while exorcizing supernaturals AT LEAST once

• The Minamotos frequently watch Cinderella together bcuz Tiara is obsessed with it, to the point that it’s become Teru and Kou’s favorite movie as well. Teru drags his friends to watch it with him too but Kou refuses to admit he likes it

• Kou chews with his mouth open

• Mitsuba has cheesy romantic fantasies about Kou the same way Nene does about her crushes (I credit this one to one of my TikTok mutuals @/mads)

• Natsuhiko has an ASMR account (just like they do in the Monster Nursery au)

• Tiara doesn’t quite understand the premise of being gay or coming out so every day she congratulates Kou on being bi

• Kou straight up lies to Tiara about things, it’s an older sibling canon event. Teru does the same to Kou. For example I once told my sister you could dilute chocolate milk into regular milk by pouring water in it. And she believed me.

• Despite the fact that Kou’s been friends with them for many years, Teru regularly forgets Yokoo and Satou’s names

• Aoi and Nene’s mothers have a bet on when the two of them will reveal they’re secretly dating

• Mei is one of those ppl who’s allergic to almost everything. You order a plate of shrimp beside her and before it even hits the table she’s like “Keep that FAR away from me”

• Kako was homophobic until meeting Akane. A “I don’t support that lifestyle” kind of homophobe. Before meeting Akane’s baseball bat

• It’s okay tho he supports his bisexual son now!! He goes to pride parades and everything

• Mirai braids Akane’s hair when she’s bored

• Tsuchigomori has never felt the touch of a man

• If you say one bad word about Teru around Kou, you better be prepared for a full monologue. Stan Twitter wishes they could be as dedicated as Kou (Yokoo: I want to kms / Kou: Wait until the next student council election we can’t lose votes)

• To avoid tarnishing her popular girl image by coming off as rude, whenever Aoi wants to leave a conversation with someone she doesn’t like she pretends to faint

• Mitsuba breaks up with Kou every other day

• When Aoi and Nene are having trouble communicating their feelings verbally, they find a wrestling ring and box their feelings out

• Aoi and Nene apply to every job together, they are a package deal

• Kou is the designated bug killer for the Toilet Gang

• Yako can talk to other foxes. But only foxes, no other animals so the power isn’t all that exciting

• Natsuhiko hasn’t picked up on Mitsuba being gay yet so he keeps offering to set him up with girls

• Sakura has been involved in at least (1) unethical psychology experiment in the past. They administered those shocks for Milgram with a completely straight face

• The hands in Mitsuba’s boundary reflect his feelings so every time Kou comes to visit, they jump around him like overexcited dogs

• Tsukasa had a very intense Alvin and the Chipmunks phase

Okay I have homework that’s due in like 2 hours so I’m gonna have to end it there. I hope my terrible sense of humor amused some of you

Enenra

Smoke x Reader

────────── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ──────────

Imagine :(Y/N) joined the order of Light in order to eliminate demons and serve the earth, before she was a normal student, however she always had a connection with the angels and could get into the subconscious of the rest, that caught Ashrah's attention and she asked him to join her, but our protagonist's past is for another day. Liu kang requests your and Ashrah's service to help Thomas because he has had dreams and visions about Enenra, therefore (Y/N) must travel to Japan to find a way to find and eliminate Enenra so that he cannot take possession of Thomas' body.

*.☽ .* Smokexreader + bi han + kuai liang

*Author's notes*

Hello, just in case my language is Spanish, but I prefer to publish this story in English for those who do not follow me on Wattpad UwU.Having said that let's start :D

Chapter I

You were arriving in Japan after a long trip together with your superior Ashrah, although you thought it was easier for Liu Kang to take them through a portal, it was far away and portals could not be made anywhere in the world, without mention that the god of fire had to meet with the empress, because lately he was making questionable decisions, such as building a coliseum, but that was a worry for another day for you.

Ashrah thought it was a good idea to travel, as they would likely encounter other demons to eliminate along the way.

They arrived at the Fire Gardens, the crimson leaves of the trees seemed beautiful to you, a leaf fell into your hand and the warm wind caressed your face, you felt grateful inside to witness such a beautiful place. Your thoughts were interrupted when a male voice sounded in the distance.

-The Shirai Ryu will not let you pass - A tall man, gray hair and silver eyes, said with a frown, he was wearing a very peculiar mask for you. As soon as you saw him you realized that it must be Thomas from the description that Liu Kang had given you, and Jonny also showed you some photos. To your liking, you didn't expect him to be so handsome in person. Your great teacher also realized that it must be Thomas.

-You must be Thomas - Ashrah began to speak. The shirai ryu was surprised to see that he knew his name.

-"Don't worry, we come in the name of Liu Kang,"- the teachers of the order of light continued as she extended a scroll written in the hand and letter of the God of Fire.

Why would Liu Kang send a demon and a girl to where his clan was? The ex former Linkuei asked himself. However, he stopped doubting them when he realized that it was indeed the handwriting and words of the god of fire. His surprise was greater when he found out the real reason why they were there.

-Wait.... Is this because of the nightmares I have? - Thomas asked surprised, his voice softened, he had a hard time understanding why it was so important that they help him with his dreams.

- Everything will be explained Thomas, I am Ashrah, this is (Y/N), our specialty is eliminating demons and serving the earth. - The Founder of the order of light said calmly, you just nodded kindly to generate security.

For some reason, you couldn't stop looking at his eyes, they were too cute, although the same thing happened to you with Ashrah when you meet her, you avoided making eye contact with her so as not to make her uncomfortable since that reminded her that she was still a demon.

-"I'm sorry I hesitated, follow me, I'll introduce you to the grand master" .-Thomas said as he looked up, nodding, you noticed that he was looking at a man who was hidden, then the doors began to open. You saw the compound, it was beautiful. While you followed him you couldn't stop looking at him surreptitiously, his arms, his waist, his back, his hair, especially his eyes... you thought he was perfect, although you always thought that physical beauty was not important, this man honestly had you captivated by his beauty.

"That's enough, you're not here for that" you said to yourself, without realizing it you were facing the grand master of the Shirai ryu, next to him was a woman, she must have been his wife Harumi, Liu Kang already told you about her too.

You didn't know what to say or how to introduce yourself, however Thomas stepped forward.

-Kuai Liang, this is Ashrah and (Y/N), they are sent by Liu kang... That's why they are here.- Smoke said a little embarrassed as he extended the scroll to him, the grand master took it seriously, when he finished. reading, he was also surprised, he was not aware before what his brother was going through.

-What does this mean, Thomas? - Kuai Liang asked, somewhat annoyed. Although that's how it sounded, you realized that he said it with a guilty tone, apparently he was upset with himself for not being aware of the seriousness of what his adoptive brother was experiencing.

-Honestly...I didn't know that my dreams with demons could be so serious.- Smoke answered seriously, honestly he tried to minimize what he was going through, he was ashamed of having to depend on someone else, since he was taken in by the Lin Kuei he had learned Not depending on anyone, it was difficult for him to ask for help.

Although his adoptive father tried to welcome him in the best possible way after the tragedy he had experienced, Smoke had been left with consequences, in addition to having to learn to live with the pain of losing his family, he had to adapt quickly to the way of life of the Lin Kuei, not counting the cold treatment he received from his older brother Bi Han, one of the few people he found refuge to talk to was his father and brother Kuai Liang.

-Enenra is one of the worst demons that live in people's subconscious - Ashrah intervened - The fact that Thomas is dreaming about him, that means that there are indications that he is there. -But the search for Bi han.- Smoke exclaimed, however he was interrupted when his brother put his hand on his shoulder.

-You must accept his help brother, do not worry about the search for Bi han, we will take care of it, while you must deal with your demons.- Said the grand master of the Shirai ryu in his attempt to give security to his brother.

-It's okay....-He had finally accepted the steaming one, then he turned his gaze to you and Ashrah.- But I don't understand how they plan to help me. Smoke asked, this time you finally dared to speak. -Don't worry, we have researched everything about Enenra, we have a plan for all odds, plus I won't let anything happen to you.- You said smiling as you looked him straight in the eyes. Honestly that embarrassed him more.

-Thank you...- Thomas answered.

-I have a place to receive them so they can stay. - Harumi began to speak, you thanked her for her hospitality.

-If there is anything we can help with, let us know.- Said the grand master t.

-We will keep you informed.- The founder of the order of Light finally said.

-We'll start early tomorrow.- You told Thomas with a small smile. He just nodded.

It was beginning to get dark and Harumi had them follow her to show them her accommodation, once they arrived it was a beautiful house, although it was small you loved it and the best thing was that they had a room for each of them.

-It's very nice here- You told the grandmaster's wife.

-I'm glad to know you like it... If you need anything, let me know,- Harumi answered as she left.

At the end of the day you started talking about Ashrah to go over the whole plan they had for Thomas and how to face Enenra, although you were very confident, you had never faced a demon like him so you had to be cautious.

When you were lying down, you couldn't get the man you were going to help out of your mind, he wasn't the first one you'd helped, but this boy was different from the rest and you didn't know why you didn't ask to stop thinking about him. "I hope we get along" you said to yourself. Tomorrow would be an interesting day.

End of chapter I

From 2010- Home

Part 41

2014

Being back home has been like a breath of fresh air. I got to go to Alex’s grave and lay some flower. Emma and I have hung out everyday since I got to my dads. Liam and I have also spoken everyday and thinks have been good. Today Emma and I have been hanging out in my old room. I watch her pick up a photo from when we were in year 11

“God our lives are so different now aren’t they?” She asks. I get off my bed and walk over to her, resting my head on her shoulder

“Yeah. I know this is going to sound ungrateful, but sometimes I wish we could go back to before I auditioned.I probably wouldn’t be on antidepressants for anxiety, I would be able to leave my house without being worried that I will bump into press, I wouldn’t be in the relationship I’m in now and Alex would still be alive”

“YN” Emma sighs “Alex wasn’t your fault. It was the stupid drunk driver and yes ok the press suck, but if you never auditioned you wouldn’t have met 5 new best friends, you would probably be with James still while he’s in the closet cheating on you. Everything happens for a reason. I truly believe Alex is with you everywhere you go, your guardian angel. How’s therapy going?”

“Not great. I don’t know how to say what I’m feeling”

“Have you thought about writing music?” Emma turns to face me. I shake my head no “I think you should give it a go. Might help you through your feelings”

“I’m not much of a writer. Remember I barley passed English” I chuckle thinking back to my GCSEs

“Well it’s a good job you don’t have to release anything, but you know I would be happy to help”

“Thanks Em”

“So talking about you and Liam, have you, ya know” Emma wiggles her eyebrows at me making my face turn read “oh my god you have!”

“Shhh Em. It’s not a big deal it’s not like I was a virgin”

“Not a big deal? You’ve had sex with Liam Hemsworth” Emma attempts to whisper but it turns out to be a squeal

“Again not a big deal. Anyway what about you any new men?”

“No… actually that’s something I wanted to talk to you about while your back. YN I’m… bi” I know I look shocked, not in a bad way I just never expected to have this conversation with my best friend “I’ve been seeing this girl. Her names Olivia and I really like her”

“Are you happy?” I ask

“Yeah” she breathes out

“Then I’m happy for you” I pull her into a hug. We stay there for a few moments before I hear my dad from downstairs

“Emma, Pumpkin dinners ready”

“Come on I’m starving” Emma places the photos down and places her arm around my shoulders and we head downstairs

“Smells amazing Thomas” Emma says taking her seat next to mine

“Thank you Emma. Tuck in”

That night I can’t stop thinking what Emma said to me about writing music to convey my feelings. Getting out of my warm bed I pad over to my notepad and start writing down some feeling. First that comes through is Alex, how I took him for granted

The next emotions to come through were about James and how he cheated on me. How our relationship started when we were so young and how stupid I had been

I close my note book feeling somewhat lighter. Maybe Emma was right. Maybe writing down my feelings into songs is the way to go, even if these songs never see the light of day. I place my notebook in my bedside table draw with a pen, I get back under the covers and manage to fall asleep.

In honor of jdash confirming newt is gay

it's been 3 years since the tweet(s) and i still have a lot to say. the discourse surrounding it has long since calmed down, but to this day some people's responses bother me immensely and i wanna get a few things off my chest.

"it undermines his friendships"

um.. no ? i can't believe people still have this weird mindset. straight people can have friends of the opposite gender, gay people can have friends of the same gender. bi people ?? pan people ?? they can have friends. (don't even get me started on the weird spot nb people land in with this weird friend mindset some homophobes have).

if you never saw newt's relationship with thomas/minho (or even alby) as anything other than platonic before, then newt being gay literally changes nothing.

"he did it as fanservice"

no. if it was fanserice he would've pandered more to the ships; newtmas being the most popular but thomas was not mentioned. if it was fanservice and for any personal gain he would've hinted at other characters also potentially being queer. if it was fanservice he probably would've at least confirmed newt was into thomas; but he didn't. cause it wasn't about any romance, it was about newt and a part of his character.

the crank palace would've been the perfect opportunity to pander more to shippers if that's what he was doing, but there were no explicitly hinted romantic feelings there either. (there were certainly ways to read certain parts of this book as queer, but i won't get into that in this post.)

"he was forced"

yes and no.. the final push to him confirming newt's sexuality was because someone criticized him for donating the proceeds from the crank palace to lgbtq+ (and BLM) charities. however, the way his tweets were phrased leads me to believe what he says. he voices his apprehension to confirm something so long after the work was released in fear of it coming across as insincere. (*cough* jkr *cough*). he also mentioned in this same 2-part tweet that his upcoming series (at the time) would feature lgbtq+ characters much more prominently and explicitly (no plausible deniability).

tldr for this point: it was someone criticizing him that finally made it happen, but i do believe he genuinely stands for what he said. he'd gone through a lot of personal development during the 11 years between the first book's release and the tweets, i don't doubt that for a second.

"there were no hints in the books"

this is a hard one to talk about without outing myself as a newtmas shipper, but i have a few things to say.

james did not intentionally write newt as a queer character. if you read through the books and didn't pick up any queer subtext/undertones, then that was how he, at the time of writing, intended it. however . does this mean there was nothing there ? how come a huge part of the fandom read him as queer then ? it's all up to reader interpretation whether certain subtext is or isn't present in the work they're consuming.

“We’re not brothers! We’re just two sides with the same job! Nothing more. We, are not brothers. Never have been. Never will be.”

Imagine how everyone would react if Remus said this to Roman

(Cuz we know Roman would NEVER say this lol)

Is he saying this seriously? Because if that's the case you know Virgil and Janus would be on high alert. Did something happen between the two of them? Did Remus hit his head or get a brain parasite (which would be common on his side of the Imagination, js)

Roman would be stunned and heart broken, because deep down, he sees Remus as the ultimate pest, a brother.

Patton would be confused, a little sad (mainly because Roman is hurt) and probably a little relieved, whether he admits it or not. His precious little prince never had to ever associate himself with the unsavory duke, no matter how bad that idea is, feelings are feelings and Patton has a lot of them...and biases...

If he's just being a shit for the sake of getting a reaction, and it's not exactly obvious, Virgil would shift his worry to Roman and Janus would watch the chaos unfold with a glass of wine.

If it is obvious, no one actually reacts except Patton. And then he dials back any upset feelings and goes into Disappointed Dad Mode.

On the off chance Remus is coming out as transfem, which I would fully support, the confusion and upset would give way to frustration, and then happy warm fuzzy acceptance. Janus still enjoys the chaos with his wine, because chances are he already knew ages ago. Virgil is having a mini crisis because he's gay, he doesn't like women, but he does like Remus, does that make him bi or something? But he was miserable pretending Thomas was bi for years. So much existential dread....that a certain dark creativity can shatter with a little wink and a smoochie

Why can’t I ship hannigram

What’s your problem with William graham why are you so anti Hannibal being bisexual

Have I ever said anything like that? No, definitely not. Raising the subject of "canon" in this universe would bring controversial reactions, I was aware of that. But the fact is that when we talk about "canon" in Hannibal, we assume that he and Clarice will find a way to each other in the end. That's not the wishful thinking of some stubborn SOTL fan, it's just what Thomas Harris has decided. Period.

I've never refuted the fact that Hannibal is possibly bi. In my opinion, he's a very complex character who can't be pigeonholed in terms of his sexual orientation. The book (which many nbc fans probably don't know, otherwise you can't talk about "canon" with Hannigram) hints on Hannibal Lecter being demiromantic and only feels attraction to people with whom he has built up a strong emotional bond. Many of his behaviours and characteristics point to this. And do you see what I mean?

Theoretically, this could also suggest Will - although his interest in Will is more indifferent and manipulative, while he actually builds up something with Clarice that many people can't put a name to.

To sum this up, many scenes and lines from the nbc series that are adored beyond measure by the fandom were originally material from the books/original films. Scenes from Hannibal and Clarice that used to represent female emancipation and empowerment in a world where women are mostly suppressed in her abilities by men. Clarice Starling is being sexualized in more than just one way in her career but ultimately it's none less than her to solve the case. Do I need to list individually what I'm referring to? I guess not.

TUA x Marvel Champions: The Patri-Not Subplot

They were all sitting around two tables pushed together in the Hotel Obsidian's lobby, both teams looking unsure of what to do with each other.

Well, everyone else was. Five had no intention of getting wrapped up in shenanigans. He just needed to make sure this didn't affect his family. So he was intently watching them eat breakfast, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Then a guy appeared on the tables. There it was.

Everyone jumped up with shouts of alarm, chairs screeching and falling over. Everyone except Five, who just pointed a butter knife at him, Vivian, who might not be capable of startling, and Thomas, who leaned back with a rueful smile.

The guy on the table was a strange fellow. Made no sound when they landed on said table. Dressed head to toe in a stupid stars-and-stripes outfit.

"Hey, nice to see you, man," Thomas said. "Thought you fucked off forever."

The guy didn't reply, instead lowering themself to one knee to look Thomas in the eye. "Tick, tock," they announced.

"You all are seeing this, right?" Klaus checked.

"Tick, tock," the guy said once more. And vanished.

"What the fuck?" Diego asked.

"The Patri-not happens sometimes. No need to be concerned," Viv said.

"What is it, then?" Five asked.

Thomas waved his hands, "Well, we used to think that it was my boyfriend's internalized shame about being bi, given physical manifestation."

"Out of everything you were going to say, that was not it," Klaus said, looking around. "Can that really happen?"

"Hypothesis number two was that it was one of the Young Avengers from the future. Possibly Thomas' boyfriend," Viv said. "But apparently that has been set aside for a new theory."

"Oh?" Diego asked, "I'm invested now. You figure out what that thing is?"

As if on cue, the Patri-not appeared once more, standing behind Tommy's chair.

"Tick tock," he said, and vanished.

The speedster gave an expression both grimace and smile. "My personal death specter."

♡◇°Bi-han burbujas °°°°°°°

●●Try to translate this, an apology if something is not understood●●

°°°° Does Bi-han have an eating disorder?

( ⚠️ This is not intended to be canon, nor to provoke morbidity or anything else, it is just a theory that can be discarded )

I know what you are thinking, of how I came to this conclusion, I understand how confusing the statement can be. But that's exactly why I'm making this thread so you have the benefit of commenting your opinion regarding this theory.

The idea came to me, because of a dialogue, where Johnny Cage mentions to Bi-han what his breath had an unpleasant odor. He even reaffirms it when he talks to Shao. At first I thought it was a funny dialogue, I hadn't thought much of it.

Until I noticed some strange things about Bi-han. Things that led me to the assumption what I'm doing here.

°°° First I analyzed how hygienic the character might be, for obvious reasons, I thought that maybe Bi-han might be careless of this, however I found to my surprise that the character this his flaw traits is "vanity". Being someone who takes good care of his image, he tries to be clean. And this is not an assumption, Bi-han makes clear his vanity with his own costumes, as we see that he loves to highlight the status in which he finds himself. Contrary to Kuai Liang who doesn't bother to wear jewelry or fancy fabrics, despite being Bi-han's brother.

As we see in the ending scene of Kuai Liang, where Lin Kuei and Shirai Ryu go to fight, we can see that Bi-han wears a pretty fancy suit.

So we can assume that being vain he takes good care of his figure, but then if Bi-han doesn't neglect this how can we explain his bad breath?

°°° This is where we start to question the eating disorder. And although it seemed like something that had no proof or foundation, it turns out that there is....

There are little things that lead me to see this as a possibility, starting with what is said about Bi-han's mental health...

For when Kuai makes it out of the temple and is reunited with Smoke, Smoke tells Thomas "That he knew Bi-han's frustrations were deep, but he didn't expect them to drive him to madness" here we realize one thing, and that is that Kuai Liang was Bi-han's consoling arm.

And apparently Kuai Liang knew or was aware that Bi-han's aggressive attitude was due to something out of his brother's way of being, that is to say that he knew that this haughty attitude provoked him something. As we see in the story mode, Kuai Liang does not defend Tomas when Bi-han comments on being an adoptee, and not only that, Tomas also does not seem to care.

This may be because Kuai Liang and Tomas have the mentality that Bi-han's emotional problems are affecting the way he reacts. And this we can see as true.

For when they go on the mission to deactivate the soul rodents, Bi-han has an aggressive attitude in Liu Kang's temple, but after fighting Nitara and Ermac. He becomes more sensitive to his brothers. He asks if they were well, and even adds "he is pleased to fight again after such a long time of inactivity"?

This "bipolar" change in Bi-han is certainly strange. For if he were the insufferable brother as he is so often portrayed, the betrayal of his brothers would not have affected him so much.

Now what exactly would Bi-han's frustrations be?

There is no clear answer, that is to say that we do not have a timeline of exactly what happened. But we do know about some events or things that affect him.

In a dialogue with Kitana, Bi-han is sad and even empathizes with Kitana's sadness at Sindel's death. She tells him that she blames him for it. This dialogue is significant because the reason for this is that Bi-han is affected by his mother's death.

Tomas even mentions her in a dialogue where he questions whether she would be proud of Bi-han being a comment that affects him, even Bi-han refuses to question this. And he comments that his mother would be supportive....

So his mother's death, is a trigger for Bi-han, as it carries so much weight that it influences his emotions to this day.

Another thing that marks Bi-han is being part of the Lin Kuei Clan and his frustration is due to the fact that he can feel the clan more like a cage than a life. A feeling that the original Bi-han himself had after being kidnapped by this clan. This idea of being limited or submissive creates doubt in Bi-han that he does not control his destiny. Although his clan was not bad, it should be noted that it is still not valued, despite his work with the land. Therefore, this lust for service is something that frustrates many parts of the Lin Kuei members. It is worth noting that it is not just Bi-han.

This collective frustration led them perhaps even to have a circle of rebellion. Circle that fell into the toxic because let's remember that "Dad would tell us to wait without protesting."

The idea that you might be being trampled on, or used, can be an idea that affects anywhere. For the feeling of wanting freedom is something that can drive many people crazy. For the perception of this can vary or even be misinterpreted.

Another frustration is also the death of his father, this because of the issue that influenced the death of this, do not know what happened. But Bi-han believes he was right to let him go. It should be noted that Bi-han has problems with his father and this may be because his father was very loyal to the Lin Kuei (to the tradition of this). For we see that the father has airs of having been straight with his children. So that these do not question anything, making that perhaps for the eyes of Bi-han his father was the main cause that there was no freedom in the temple. That is, seeing him as someone who had to be 3limin4d0 in order to remove him from power. It should be noted that Bi-han never dared to hurt him, because as we know he had an accident, so Bi-han chose not to help him. So Bi-han waited until he had died or something had happened to him, here we can see that in spite of everything he had feelings for his father. For he could have easily taken matters into his own hands much earlier and more brutally. This being another frustration for Bi-han, that he is blamed for his father's death, because from his perspective he waited for his father to die. That is, the accident he had was not his fault and not helping him was partly because his time had come. We know that he was very old, nothing assured him that he was going to live longer. So Bi-han was right not to help him at that time. Maybe he could have done something but the decision had already been made according to the moment.

Continuing with the frustrations, there is a theme about the power Bi-han wants. Here there are two things that I think are confused. Some believe that the power Bi-han seeks is literally a powerful magical power. And no, Bi-han speaks more of a higher power in the matter of ruling. For they have long served and never been promoted. Instead the Shaolin take credit for "defending the land". The greatness or power he seeks will not only give him control, or assurance that no one is above him, but it will also give him the respect he believes no one has given him.

Currently another frustration of Bi-han's is the betrayal of Kuai Liang. And this frustration is triggering two emotions, on the one hand there is the part that wants to kill his brother and on the other hand there is the part that doesn't want to fight with his brother. Even Bi-han can ignore Kuai if Kuai is willing to step aside but as we know Kuai won't do that. So Bi-han has the frustration of confronting his brother.

And that I think are his biggest frustrations.....

°°°° Now we know what's going on with Bi-han's head, we know that indeed, as Kuai Liang said his frustrations were deep, so we ask ourselves the question, have they affected Bi-han physically?

The answer is yes, and I personally believe that this led to eating disorders.

How can we come to that conclusion? Well let's analyze this...

First let's talk about the death of his mother, which to this day is something that continues to depress him. So we can intuit that she may have had a depression in that period of mourning. Being that depression usually causes people to not want to eat and their mood to relapse into a sad state. Let's also remember that this may vary from person to person but on Bi-han's part I think it is very noticeable that she stopped eating and had episodes of sadness. Episodes that may even come back to him as he shows it in the dialogues.

Now, based more on his frustrations, Bi-han would have a lot of emotions that would cause him to alter his bile. Which for those of you who don't know what it is, it is a liquid that is produced and secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, if some of you have had a very strong anger, worry, etc. You will know that bile causes people to vomit.

More so contemplating the exercise routines in the Lin Kuei, as let's remember that they train since they are children, so let's add the fact that Bi-han does not eat in his mourning period, plus the frustrations of worry and anger. Plus the routines, plus the mood swings he is having and partly plus the power he has.

Something to keep in mind here, too, is the fact that the powers they have greatly influence their emotions.

So the ice power boosts their feelings even more.

This leads me to think that Bi-han in the long run may have developed an eating disorder, how is that possible?

°°°° We have already analyzed his mind, including his lifestyle and rhythm of life. But now let's analyze his physique. Has anyone else noticed that Bi-han is strangely thin compared to his siblings?

I want to clarify the fact that thinness although it is common in cases of eating disorders or behaviors. Bodies are not always thin as they are stereotyped in movies or series . Reason why Bi-han may have an athletic body but not necessarily healthy... to what we see. For these disorders like anxiety among other things, can have stages where the person relapses and then feels good again.

Returning to the subject, we can see that Bi-han has very marked his features, with this I mean, that the corners of his jaw are marked enough, besides having split lips and dehydrated.

Her hair is also curly, and she has acne on her neck and face.

Personally I love that they gave these realistic details to the characters, I want to clarify it, but under my theory or under this analysis the things that I described, as an "uncontrolled" acne, can also be features of these disorders. For this would be a physical reaction of the body.

Here we are not saying that it is a bad thing to have these traits, we are simply analyzing that they can be caused by these disorders. That is to say, each detail can give us a characteristic of the character and I find curious these intentionally emaciated details in Bi-han.

At first I thought that his lips and even his pale skin were due to his ice power, but I also noticed that these powers do not physically affect the bearer, they only do this if they reach an extreme level of power, which they don't have... So we see that Bi-han takes care of his appearance, that is, he is someone who physically and visually can look good. .... But analyzing his mental health and features that we don't see like his lips would be, after wearing his mask, we see that there is something internal neglected....

So we have

°°° some emaciated physical features, due to health problems like not eating.

°°°We have bipolar, haughty and depressive attitudes, due to their frustrations but also due to their possible lack of sugar and other food substances.

°°° To have a potentiator of emotions with his power of ice and with his eating disorder.

°°° We also have that Bi-han takes care enough of his image, for fear of self-criticism. If we see it this way, perhaps his vanity is not so much to reaffirm his egocentrism but to avoid criticizing himself when he looks in the mirror. This also applies in his social environment, Bi-han does not accept criticism and perhaps it is not so much because he is proud, but because they will add to what his mind can tell him.

°°° In conclusion I think Bi-han has eating disorder or behavior that makes him vomit.

Reason why his body is a little thinner than his brothers, also the reason why his lips are cut because he neglects his nutritional health.

Bi-han's frustration leads him to vomit a lot, that would explain his bad smell in his breath and this causes him to be careful with his hygiene, because due to his thoughts these can attack in a cruel self-criticism, which leads him to have attacks with bile. Being his breath the one that affects him the most because he can have an attack of vomit at any time.

°°° Now another thing that makes me think about this possibility is the fact that they want Noob Saibot to have a skeletal aspect... aspect that for some reason Bi-han embraces... on the other hand, I had read that the developers of Mortal kombat had a strange taste for making the characters vomit.

And seeing that in this game they have left a bit of mental health and brushed with these issues to give characters development. couldn't they use such a disorder to give a background to a character or appearance to some character in the future?

°°° Also in another dialogue between Bi-han and Kuai Liang, there is a curious dialogue, I explain, when the intros are made before the fight, we can see that there is a dialogue punch line, which makes it trigger the fight. This trigger must be something significant for one of the characters. In the dialogue Bi-han tells Kuai Liang that they could have ruled together. To which Kuai Liang replied -I get "Disgusted "just "imagining it"-.

I mean, throwing up at the thought of something, is it a hint to Bi-han?

Let's remember that Kuai is the only one who knows what's wrong with Bi-han

Anyway, what do you think?

Riordanverse outfit headcanons because I said so and I may have accidentally fallen down a rabbit hole

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alex Fierro does not own a single “bad” piece of clothing. Things that clash? Absolutely. But they don’t make bad outfits; not once.

Jason Grace cuts off the sleeves (and sometimes bottoms) of at least half his hoodies. So they’re all muscle shirts/ cropped muscle shirts because Leo says he’s hot they’re “easier to move in”.

The first time Percy Jackson dyed his hair, it was because he lost a bet. But he kind of fell in love with those blue streaks, and from then on, he redyed it every few weeks when the color stared to fade, even reaching out to other colors. Eventually he asked the Aphrodite and Hecate cabins to come up with a formula for a hair dye that shifts colors every few weeks and doesn’t come out by anything but magic.

Sadie Kane is slowly evolving into a blue and pink version of Alex. Her hair is choppy and blue, her fashion sense is becoming some kind of bubblegum E-girl Frankenstein. Carter is half scarred and half impressed.

Hazel Levesque is the most cottagecore bitch you’ll ever meet- sweaters, button ups, skirts, soft colors and patterns. She sometimes carries around a basket with like snacks and random wildflowers she’s picked. She’s the only Roman demigod anyone’s witnessed fighting in a poofy dress atop a horse, kicking ass like normal.

Magnus Chase wears too much brown. Hearth thinks it’s hilarious, Blitz calls him hopeless. Once Hotel Valhalla Green is added to the mix, the Floor 19 group start jokingly calling him a patch of moss.

Eventually, Alex convinces Thomas Jefferson Jr. to start dressing more modern, but he always finds a way to put his own twist on it. Navy blue jacket over the top of his outfit. Worn brown combat boots are a common sight. Sometimes he just outright wears his infantry hat around the mortal world.

Leo Valdez has pretty standard engineer-type clothes- stained T-shirts, jeans, Converse and Vans. But on Día de los Muertos, he completely full sends. Skull makeup, lots of colors, whether or not it’s a steampunk lookin sombrero or flower crown atop his curls depends on the day. He manages to drag the rest of the camp into it, which the other Hispanic campers appreciate, and each cabin has their own ofrenda honoring family and past campers.

Halfborn Gunderson manages to wear zero shirts in public and no one has ever denied him service. He’s too powerful. Enough said.

Piper McLean has learned to absolutely weaponize her good looks. She dresses almost male gaze-y, but she’s about as far from that as you can get. It’s for the feminism. It’s because she knows she can kick anyone’s ass who fucks with her or anyone else she sees. Pink is a power color, and she’ll fight you over that.

Carter Kane dresses like an archaeologist. Whether that’s Laura Dern or a musty museum curator depends on the day, but this chaotic bi dumbass always looks like the smartest person in the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ sorry y’all that’s gotta be it lmao

I’ll do a part 2 if you send in a list of characters to do!!

[mbirnsings-71]

MADIIII MADI IM FINALLY ANSWERING UR ASK SO IM HERE 2 ASK THE SAME QUESTIONN!!

i want hcs

any of them HAND EM OVER

idc any characters just lemme hear ur thoughts :3 purhaps perchance

OH HEWWO HI HEWWO I FORGOT I ASKED YOU FOR HEADCANNONS NJVDFNVBF- woo boy okay shit SHIT- I don't have a character I've really been attached to at the moment SO I GUESS WE'RE GONNA GO WITH BRUCE HEADCANNONS??? MAYBE?? He's the only one I have at least something for atm-

headcannons under the keep reading because yeehaw

Bruce Wayne Headcannons:

had the BIGGEST Dinosaur hyperfixation as a kid. This is said because I have read two (2) things in the past three days where Bruce mentioning relatives took him to the museum to see dinosaurs LIKE COME ON. He probably knows all about Dinosaurs and it's like a sleeper agent waiting to be activated in him, he probably saw Booster somehow bring back the Jurassic league and had to keep his face neutral as batman while his brain was clocking what each and every dinosaur was. This is where he finally finds some common ground with Damian as well in the early days probably, tentatively trying to form a bond with his biological son and the only way of knowing how is finding something that the kid is interested in and bring up something related to it. That's how Bruce ended up rambling about prehistoric ancestors of common animals for a solid hour in the bat cave.

Transfem Bruce absolutely wears pearls like her mother. Is it to honor and to mourn her or is it to keep up the act of a young socialite? It's probably both. It's probably both a comfort and a heavy weight against her neck, because in some sense her mom is here with her, but in another sense the pearls just seem to weight her down, and one wrong move and all the pearls could go tumbling onto the floor from a broken and improperly knotted cord and she would unintentionally have a recreation of that night in the alley way except this time it's on the marble tiled floor and the blood is only in her memories...

Bruce in general however I think wears his dad's cufflinks or watches pretty regularly while in socialite society. He needs to keep a piece of his parents with him he needs to. Their wedding rings are still in his room, untouched because he doesn't think he's ever going to find someone that he'd love enough that would marry him but accept the job he has to do. He was so close with Selina and Talia but those both crumbled in unforseen ways and it hurt badly, so for now the old wedding rings just stay in his room, not getting used but always staying with it's other half.

I think if Cass were to ever wear pearls she'd look so much like Martha Wayne that Bruce would cry a little. I think Bruce finds qualities in all his kids that I think he would relate to his parents even though they're not biologically related. it's small things really, like interests and certain mannerisms that shouldn't remind him of them but they do. I think each Batkid also gets a Wayne heirloom as well, I just don't know what it would be but the kids are debating it out and Bruce is just sighing and putting down what he plans on leaving for the kids.

Also on the topic of Wills, he does have video messages for the kids if he ends up dying. It's canon, but I think he personalizes them more and records them late at night when the kids are asleep or each one was recorded while he was stuck in the cave on "bed rest". He also recorded one for Alfred in the possibility that he died before the butler did... He misses Alfred a lot...

Which Martha/Thomas/Alfred polycule is canon in my heart goddamn it. All three of them were Bruce's parent and Bruce would absolutely agree about it.

Speaking of Polycules, my opinions on Bruce's sexuality depends on what would better fit a story. like yeah no that man can be Bi, he can be on the aroace spectrum, he can even be poly. I personally like to keep him on the aroace spectrum so he has all three As (Aro, Ace, and Autistic!)

Speaking of Autism!! He is so autsitic and those that don't believe so... Like are we reading the same source material?? That man has such a strict moral code, refuses to put on a Kevlar vest unless it's light and flexible, has struggles communicating and struggles with tone so that most times his words can be read as very monotone, literally has a very blunt way of saying stuff just!! Also I will point at Damian and say that Autism is hereditary and out of Bruce and Talia which one would you expect to have Autism hm? cause Damian is definitely not a neurotypical child!

also yes he had a fear of bats as a child, but I believe after the getting shot and having a bat land in his father's study that Bruce absolutely went into a major rabbit hole to find out everything there could be to know about bats. He researched what bats eat, how they communicate, Natural habitats, all of it. It even got to the point where he learned how to get the bats that reside in the bat cave to trust him and actually come and land on him because he'll offer them food. He has names for all of them and everything and the batkids lose their minds about it every time. Damian wants Bruce to teach him how to do this because this is Damian, the kid who loves animals to death.

Bruce is Jewish, not a headcannon just something I feel like people need to remember is all.

Bruce hasn't watched the mask of Zorro ever since his parents died. It brings up too many traumatic memories for him and he just doesn't know if he could watch the film again. That being said Dick or Jason (one of the two) when they were younger probably wanted to watch it one time and Bruce was just silent before Alfred suggested that mayhaps they choose something else to watch because it is a pg-13 film (Which is such a lame excuse to whichever twelve year old we're putting in this scenario but sure they guess they'll let it slide- Especially when B agrees to watching a horror movie that is so not appropriate for 12 year olds cause he was a little too stunned to think clearly. Trauma and all that whatever and Bruce is just so desensitized to horror movies now from his time of being batman.)

And I think that should be enough headcannons probably <3 THANK YOU FOR THE ASK JAY <3

Debunking the „Invisible Strings“ Theory and more

Invisible strings – who hasn’t heard about that in any fandom? The true love. Faith. Soulmates. A forever kind of anything. This is what every fan wants for their favorite ship, right? Especially when it is two characters who have a built up. Share a story.

And if this theory turns into more, into the aforementioned “soulmatism” after these two characters got together, who wouldn’t be head over heels for it?

In my former post I explained some basic screenwriting rules, especially the “Show don’t tell” one. You can read it here if you want to.

Because there was and still is a big discourse in the fandom about the “They are made for each other and they are their endgame” I want to look at a few things concerning these theories and what happened on screen through the lens of the “Show don’t tell” rule.

Let’s start with the biggest part and what is mentioned in the post’s title.

The Invisible String Theory

To understand what I am talking about I will give you a short summary what this theory is about.

“Buck and Tommy are connected through invisible strings. Tommy left the 118 and Buck joined, taking his place metaphorically speaking and also literally speaking because he now sits at Tommy’s former seat at the 118’s dinner table. Later on, on a call where there was a big gas leak and a house was almost exploding (Eddie was inside with a kid, hiding in a bathtub) Chimney who was off duty at that time called Tommy to help. Tommy flew past that call to spill water all over the place and Buck looked up, watching his future boyfriend. There is also a connection through the episode “Buck actually” where Buck met Thomas and Mitchell, an older gay couple, who died together. Mitchell and Buck talked a bit about love and Mitchell said the famous phrase “You don’t find it, son, you make it.” Connecting this to Tommy due to the name of Mitchell’s love (Thomas) and because Tommy’s favorite movie is “Love actually” (said in one of the ‘Begins’ episodes).”

So, these are the main points for the theory. If I forgot any detail, I apologize. But it wouldn’t change that much about my interpretation if the summary had more details.

First of all: I could quite easily debunk and kind of nip this whole theory in the bud with one big point. Tommy coming back for season 7 was a last-minute decision. He was not the first choice so this thing between him and Buck being planned years ago? The seed being planted back then? Doesn’t fit.

Tommy (as a love interest for Buck) was kind of plan c (?) if I recall it correctly.

First idea was to bring back Lucy Donato. She can fly a helicopter (we saw that in the bridge rescue in season 6). Her not being available due to the actress’ new show was a last-minute thing. It can be seen on the form Hen submitted at Harbor. In the form the name of the requested pilot is “Lucy Donato” and not “Tommy Kinard”. That shows that the switch was not planned early and kind of made last-minute. If Lucy would have been brought back as an old new love interest for Buck, we will never know.

Second problem was that Natalia’s actress was also unavailable. Her character and Buck were in a relationship at the end of season 6 and this would have lasted into season 7. But instead, due to the lack of availability, they broke up over hiatus and she was never mentioned again. Therefore, Buck was without a big storyline and without a love interest. Because Tim, the showrunner, had it already in mind that Buck would and should realize some things about his sexuality (Buck has always been queer/bi-coded and Oliver has played and/or decided to play him like that) they decided now would be the right time. Buck’s story arc wouldn’t need that much time and so it could fit into the shortened season.

To get Buck to this realization that he could be attracted to men as well as women, there was a catalyst needed. Tim said in one of his interviews early on in season 7 that he didn’t want to invent a completely new character for that. Therefore he “recycled” an old one – Tommy. To give Buck an entry-level relationship that he can explore this new side of him a bit. But he also said that it wouldn’t be anything more than that. Even Lou, Tommy’s actor, stated the same in an interview he gave that Tommy was kind of the practice round for Buck.

And don’t mind that Lou mentioned in the same interview that Tommy was first brought back to be a love interest for Eddie but then they switched it to Buck, probably because to the reasons above.

To sum this part up:

Tommy being Buck’s soulmate and this being the plan in the long run doesn’t make sense when you look at the way of decision making.

But okay, benefit of the doubt. Let’s still look at the theory in detail.

Buck joining the 118 and sitting in Tommy’s seat

Mitchell’s husbands name

Episode title vs. “Love, actually”

I admit that these three things could be interpreted as something with a deeper meaning. But it could be also interpreted as nothing. Let’s dive into the screenwriting for a moment.

Like I said before it is quite essential to “Show don’t tell”. These three points might be big in the part of that ship’s fandom but the casual viewer doesn’t remember any of that. If it had been important and the show had wanted to lean into the theory they would have used some narrative devices. Like flashbacks. For example:

The moment Buck learns that Tommy’s name is Thomas we could see a short flashback to Mitchell and Thomas and the conversation Buck had with the former. Or another flashback where Tommy sits at the table and then fades and Buck sits down in the same spot. So that the general audience would make this connection. That they would have their “oh” moment, realizing that Tommy and Buck are really connected on a deeper level and made for each other. Or at least that there is something more to their relationship.

But we don’t see any of that. Just the hardcore fans remember the episode “Buck, actually” actually. Because for us these moments with Mitchell are so important and a valid part in a lot of fanfics on both sides. The casual viewer? They probably won’t even remember the episodes they watched three weeks ago. An episode that aired in 2018? Well… just no.

Buck looked up at the plane

For this point I will take off the screenwriter’s hat again because I can explain it without any screenwriting rules.

We know that Tommy is a helicopter pilot who works at Harbor. He also was a pilot in the army. I am sure that not many people know that but if you are a pilot doesn’t mean that you can fly anything that goes up into the air.

Imagine the same with a driver’s license. Just because you got your license for a normal car you are not automatically able to drive a truck, a tank, a motorbike, a bus etc. Most vehicles need special licenses so that you are able to drive them.

And the same goes for anything that flies. Tommy is able to fly a helicopter and he has a license for that. But being able to fly a plane? Okay, screenwriter’s hat on again because I noticed that I need this for the next few sentences. It is possible that a person has more than one license. And Tommy could be one of them, being able to fly a helicopter AND a plane. But again. We don’t know and nobody told us that he can. We know him as the helicopter pilot. Connecting him to the plane? To make this connection someone would have to mention it on the show that the audience can see “Oh, Tommy flew that plane and saved them all”. And screenwriter’s hat off.

Chimey said that he called Tommy for help and I totally believe he did that. Because Tommy is connected to people who can help with air support. So, it was Chimney’s obvious choice to ask him. But it makes more sense that Tommy asked someone else to fly that plane to help instead of flying it himself due to the aforementioned license thing.

And if we now think that it’s more likely that someone else flew that plane, the theory that Buck looked up to see his future boyfriend flying in to save him (and others) makes no sense anymore. (And yes, I ignore the point that kind of everyone was looking up because there was a damn fucking plane coming to the rescue and nobody says that the pilot is Bobby’s soulmate… or Hen’s… or any of the other people who were around back then.)

I think I properly explained why the “Invisible String Theory” might be a nice fandom created idea but it makes no sense in the long run, realistically speaking on a tv show level. Too many things don’t add up and make no sense storytelling wise.

Let’s hop on to other things in that context.

2. The whole “Evan” thing

Fans and the general audience alike know what kind of relationship Buck has with his given name. He never says he hates it. But he shows it more than once or it is shown that his chosen name holds a special place in his heart, and not his given name.

Buck talks with his parents as they visit him at the station. When his father calls him “Evan” Buck interrupts him and tells him that his name is Buck. People who know him call him “Buck”.

When Buck is down after the I think the warehouse fire Athena talks to him and cheers him up. She gives him a pep talk and ends it with “That’s what being Buck means to me.”

In the coma episode coma!Bobby and coma!Buck talk before Buck realizes that he should escape this coma dream. It is about his name as well. That he is Buck. And not Evan.

There are a few other examples, I just listed the three most obvious ones, I think.

In conclusion we can say that Buck prefers this chosen name over his given name for several reasons. He accepted being Buck and not just Evan.

Now Tommy comes in and calls Buck Evan all the time. We even know that Lou has been told to just call Buck Evan as Tommy and not Buck. Why could that be?

People are saying that Buck reclaims his name, being called Evan is him being more mature. Or even that it is something special because only Tommy is allowed to call him Evan. But are these really the reasons? I doubt it.

We know that Buck has a complicated relationship with his name as stated earlier (family issues etc.). Why would he all of a sudden want to reclaim this name, to show him being more grown up? After the lightning strike and the follow up coma we saw him already grown up. Grown into the name, being comfortable with being Buck. Because being Buck is enough. Why would he all of a sudden decide that now he wants to be called Evan again after the audience has already experienced his growth in season 6 where he feels good as Buck, not Evan? And even if he wanted to be called Evan now for reasons, why would he not tell everyone to switch the name?

From a screenwriter’s perspective it is quite simple. Tommy being the only one calling him Evan is important. But not in the way people think it is. Not because it shows a special connection or because of a deep bond. On the contrary. Remember the phrase Buck said to his father. “People who know me…” It is more of a “Tommy doesn’t know Buck” thing. With this simple action the general audience notices that something is off between Tommy and Buck. Because the audience knows Buck’s preference and some might even remember all the reasons why (most might remember that it has something to do with his family).

“Language” is a very effective narrative device. Using certain words or how characters talk to each other can deliver a message for the audience. Screenwriters use this device so that they don’t have to actively say something but the audience will still get it. In this case: Nobody has to say that Tommy ignores Buck’s chosen name and that something feels off about it, the audience sees that he does and that it is.

Now people might say “But Buck hasn’t stopped him” and yes, I agree. Buck has not stopped him with the whole “Evan” thing. It could be simply because he still has to get used to his first relationship with a man, exploring stuff etc. Or it could be deeper and be rooted in his abandonment issues, unconsciously scared that if he tells Tommy to change the name that Tommy will leave. And Buck failed another relationship.

There could have been some possibilities to explain this name thing. Like Buck telling Tommy explicitly that he wants to be called Evan. Or Tommy asks Buck about it because he notices that he’s the only one calling him Evan and Buck states that he is okay with it because he likes it when Tommy does (this could have given a nice little look into their relationship and could have been a sweet moment.)

But nothing like that happened. We just hear Tommy call Buck Evan every time he appears on screen. And this is intentional, the intention behind even backed up through the instruction for Lou not to say Buck.

“Show, don’t tell”. Tommy uses the “wrong” name for Buck while the audience knows what Buck prefers. So, it feels off for people who watch the show and we get to see a relationship where both parts aren’t really on the same level.

3. Buck’s big “coming out”

There are people who complain about the way it was shown on screen. They argue that Tommy could have told Buck how he looked. And they are mad at him for that. That it was a forced coming out and that it was a shitty move from Tommy etc.

I don’t agree with that. Because I wouldn’t look that deep into it. In the end this scene had just one purpose - a subtle coming out for Buck. We know that they were already running low on time that episode, cutting of scenes almost worth one complete episode. So, Buck coming out to everyone else besides Maddie and Eddie? Would have taken too much time. The “soot face” scene was more effective and delivered the message to Buck’s friends and the audience. That Buck is out now.

I want to focus more on another part of the hospital scenes. The one when Buck and Tommy kissed. (And no, I don’t want to talk about that it was kind of out of character for Buck to leave Maddie’s wedding to go see Tommy because that is something else to discuss at another time maybe.)

Hardcore fans were happy about this scene and yes, I get it. Tommy promised to be at the wedding and he was. And they kissed. Great. Your ship sailed at that moment. But the moment people went deeper in and romanticized it that Tommy came to see Buck even after he fought a fire, I have to put my foot in.

Let’s put off the shipper’s googles for a second.

Tommy being at the hospital was just for one purpose. That Buck could come out to his friends and that the audience knows that he is out now to everyone and doesn’t have to hide anymore. Nothing else.

Because if we look deeper into it, there are some questions. Tommy works at Harbor. They usually do the air support. Why would he arrive at the hospital with a fire engine in full turn out? If you are on-call duty you usually aren’t for a different job. Compare it to a doctor maybe. If you are on call as an eye doctor you wouldn’t be called in to do a brain surgery. Especially such an expert like Tommy, a pilot, wouldn’t be used for normal fire-fighting that could keep him occupied when an emergency occurs that needs a pilot.

Therefore, him coming in with a turnout full of soot, having just fought a fire, was solely for getting the soot on Buck’s face. Their kiss was to remind the audience that they were still seeing each other even after their failed date and the coffee-date to get out the invite for the wedding.

There was no deeper meaning behind it and the writers used that scene to deliver a subtle coming out without Buck telling everyone.

Interpreting it as “Tommy came to see Buck even if he worked so hard in these past hours” and “he didn’t even go home to clean up himself because he wanted to rush to Buck” is looking too deep into this. (And just to mention, even Buck cleaned up and switched clothes although his sister’s wedding had to be cancelled because the groom was missing and Maddie was going crazy about it. But Buck went and cleaned himself up.)

4. The Bachelor Party

Yes, I know. There is a big controversy about it, especially Tommy’s reaction. Let’s analyze this.

Tommy didn’t dress up even though Buck told him that the party was 80s themed. Instead of just saying that he didn’t have much time and couldn’t find a fitting outfit, he stated “They had Henley’s in the 80s” in a very condescending tone and made somehow fun of Buck and Eddie for their Miami Vice costumes. “What are you, the Wedding singers?” (reference to a movie where the two people who are meant for each other are with the wrong people but that is not the point here).

The point is that Tommy did not put any effort in it. The audience knows how Buck can get with these things. Remember Clipboard!Buck and him being Firemarshal. The audience even saw in the previous scenes how important this party was for Buck. He really wanted to throw it for Chimney and was totally into it.

Tommy reacting so poorly was a mood dampener and we could see that in Buck’s (and Eddie’s) reaction.

Now, people explained that he was on call and that this was why he didn’t dress up. Usually, if you are on call, even as a First Responder (or especially as one), you have to switch into a uniform to work. Doctors, nurses throw on their scrubs, police officers wear their uniform, firefighters theirs etc. He could have easily worn something different. Tommy did not know if he would be called in or not. But he decided against it, wore a Henley and made a joke about Buck (and Eddie) being dressed up.

How can you analyze this from a screenwriter’s point of view?

If they had wanted to establish the relationship between Buck and Tommy further, we would have been shown stuff that would let the audience have another “Oh, they are into each other” moment.

For example: Tommy could have worn something colorful or fun, just a shirt or something and they could have had a sweet little exchange about it. Or he could have explained to Buck in a normal way why he decided to go with the Henley. Or, and that is a major point, he could not have been on call in the first place and could have partied the whole night with Buck (and Eddie, or even without Eddie to give us more couple time). But he did neither of that.

It was an intentional choice to not dress him up and let him even act kind of condescending towards Buck concerning the outfit. It was also an intentional choice to make him leave. Him staying could have shown the two of them in a more relationship way, how they act around each other, how much fun they have together. But the writers refrained from this to a. show the disconnect between Tommy and Buck and b. not to dive deeper into their relationship and to show it to the general audience.

The bachelor party was the fifth scene we saw Buck and Tommy together – the first one at Harbor when they were interrupted by Eddie, the kiss in Buck’s kitchen, their failed date, the coffee date and now the bachelor party.

In none of these scenes the writer’s focus was to establish their relationship. For the audience it is still not really shown what kind of relationship these two have, especially not that it is such a lovely one like some fans claim it to be.

While I mentioned all their scenes until now, I want to go back to one and talk about this one as a last point.

5. Their first date

In episode 7x04 which is completely from Buck’s (unreliable) point of view we got the kissing scene when Tommy asked Buck out for a date. Ignore the “My attention? – I guess.” for a moment even though it probably is important. Remember, anything is intentional and not just because they had no clue what else to write. But this is not what I want to focus on here.

The whole episode was from Buck’s point of view and the audience learnt that Tommy is a lot like Eddie. They have so much in common – the military, Muay Thai, repairing cars etc. The audience learns that Buck seems to like Tommy who is similar to Eddie and that they kind of click.

Now we jump to the next episode and Buck’s and Tommy’s first date and the writer’s intentions switch. While thinking that Buck and Tommy would be a good fit after the last episode the audience now learns that there are differences between the two of them.

I don’t want to excuse Buck’s reaction, the “hot chicks” comment was misplaced. But thinking about it you could at least understand it. He is not out yet, just noticing his attraction to guys a few days prior and is now on a date with a man for the first time… and bumps into his best friend. It is just human that he panics and says something stupid. Still, it was needed that he apologized for that.

Tommy’s actions on the other hand were more than just a bit misplaced. His “closet” comment could have outed Buck in front of his best friend. Luckily, Eddie (and Marisol) was oblivious enough that the comment flew past their heads. Immediately after, Tommy ended the date and ordered himself an uber.

Again. Until then I could explain this by “he is mad at the comment Buck made, feeling like being shoved back into the closet” etc. I would agree. I wouldn’t be on that level myself because I think rudeness shouldn’t be countered with rudeness but okay. Everybody acts differently.

Now, to really end the date, the writers made another intentional choice. They could have shown that Tommy still cares about Buck, that Buck is important to him. They could have made him say something like that Buck isn’t ready and that he understands him but doesn’t want to go back into the closet. Something like that. He could have shown some empathy. He could have explained his want to end the date so that the viewer could relate and understand him.

But instead, the writers chose Tommy not to talk to Buck. Until the moment the uber stopped at the curb, Buck (and the audience) is still thinking that they are going to the movies. Then Tommy abruptly ends the date and drives away while Buck stands alone at the curb, staring at the leaving car. (Concerning his abandonment issues this is kind of heartbreaking.)

Every message, every action Tommy did after Buck’s comment could be explainable on its own. But sum everything up and it leaves the viewer with another off feeling – the closet comment, ending the date without saying so, leaving Buck on the curb.

Even later on when Buck met up with Tommy again at the coffee shop, Tommy did not apologize. I wouldn’t go that far and say that Tommy is gaslighting Buck. But he explains his actions with “You are not ready”. He probably doesn’t see that he did something wrong or that he could have handled the situation better.

The viewer starts to think about that relationship and that they maybe did not click that much like everyone thought at first. Nobody probably thinks that Tommy is a villain here. Just that he is probably the wrong fit for Buck.

There are a few more other scenes between Buck and Tommy and each one of them can be analyzed through the screenwriter’s lens. But probably there won’t be anything new that hasn’t been stated already. So, just a short summary of three scenes that are worth a comment.

During the medal ceremony when Buck is happy about the award (it is obviously his first) Tommy makes a comment – “Enjoy it while it lasts.” This shows another time that they are not on the same level and they don’t really match. Tommy just sees himself and cannot be happy for Buck. Therefore, he makes that slightly deprecative comment and Buck face falls.

While Bobby is in the hospital, being dead for 14 minutes and now in a coma afterwards, Buck is worried sick. Everyone knows that Bobby is his surrogate father. He wants to share this with Tommy who turns it into a joke, not really taking Buck seriously and listening to his concerns and fears. And Buck’s face falls again.

While Hen and Karen try to interrogate Tommy about his intentions with Buck (kind of a shovel talk), he deflects and makes jokes that are misplaced.

If you look at all of these things mentioned above - from the name calling, comments and certain scenes - from a writing perspective you can see that these were deliberate choices. There were enough moments to really establish the blooming relationship. To make Tommy likable.

First, he could have been on screen more so that the audience would see their relationship like we do with all the other couples. For example, like Athena and Bobby dancing together on the cruise ship. Did it add to the storyline per se? No. But it showed them being a couple and in love. There could have been small little scenes like that with Buck and Tommy. But the writers and the showrunner decided not to show any.

And remember. For the general audience things have to be shown that they will be able to relate to the characters and accept things into the narrative. So, if there are no e.g. domestic scenes between Buck and Tommy, nobody will believe they have a sweet little domestic relationship.

Second, the few scenes they had Tommy could have been written differently. Except in 7x04 where we saw the whole story through Buck’s eyes, he was always stiff and condescending, making misplaced comments and jokes. The writers could have given him lines where he e.g. supports Buck after he is worried about Bobby. Or an apology at the coffee date where they both decide to start over. There were many chances to make him a fit for Buck, to give him scenes and lines for the audience to relate to. So that we can see him as the fit for Buck people claim him to be.

But, the show did neither. There was just a limited number of scenes and the lines Tommy had were never really supportive or sweet towards Buck. All in all, the writers went full in with the “Show don’t tell”. They painted a certain picture of Tommy for the audience to understand that Tommy might not be a bad guy but just not a fit for Buck.

And in the end, this is what counts. What is shown on screen and the writer’s intentions with this.

Not what someone comes up with as a headcanon or what people assume happened off screen.

Disclaimer in the end: I just want to say that this post isn’t about the casual part of the fandom. The people who just watch the show, enjoy the ship and are happy about anything. As long as they are respectful and live the “ship and let ship” lifestyle, I am completely fine with it.

This post is more about the hardcore five people who try to shove down these theories and “canon” events as a given we have to believe and accept and “how dare you ship something else???”. People who act superior and think they can be dismissive and condescending and whenever you don’t agree with their point of views you are called names, slurs and a lot of different other things.
