Welcome to My Blog

Hi, and welcome! This blog is dedicated to celebrating Lou Ferrigno Jr. and his incredible portrayal of Tommy on 9-1-1. His performance, and the deeply meaningful relationship between Tommy and Buck, resonated with me in ways I never expected.

As a butch, straight-acting gay man, I rarely see myself represented on screen—especially in stories that break the usual stereotypes. Tommy and Buck’s relationship was powerful, authentic, and refreshing, showing that love between two masculine men can exist without compromise. It was a rare moment of true representation, and for the first time in a long time, I felt seen.

Lou Ferrigno Jr.’s performance brought light into a dark time in my life. His work gave depth and honesty to a character that so many of us connected with. That’s why the Season 8, Episode 6 breakup hit so hard—it felt like losing something rare and important.

This blog is my way of honoring both the actor and the character. It’s a space to celebrate, discuss, and appreciate the impact of Tommy and Lou’s performance. If this storyline meant something to you too, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here.

to everyone who writes a fic about buck×tommy's kiss...

please tag me in it. I have to wait a few days to watch the episode because my tv is messed up and my signal along with my data is shit.

[ahoodgirl]

I am, just... speachless as can be; but damn that kiss was fire (Buck initiated this time, even sexier).

buck + hugs

It's not only sexy af but REAL bi/queer representation, which isn't half-assed or noncommittal, that Buck explicitly is hot for Tommy over masculine things. Tommy, in general, is very trad masc; he's super muscular, tall, with a strong jaw, deep voice, short hair. During their kisses (so far), neither is clean shaven. Buck likes Tommy's cleft. Tommy shows up to the wedding specifcally as a filthy, manly firefighter, and Buck calls him *a beast* in a flirty tone before eagerly kissing him.

Buck is attracted to Tommy *because of* his manliness, not in spite of it.

They really put two masc men together romantically/sexually on main channel cable TV and made no apologies, excuses, or compromises. 🏳️‍🌈 What a time to be alive. 🥲

“the breakup was bad writing” WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN?!?! the relationship was PEAK 9-1-1 writing yall just don’t like that it wasn’t written with tommy as endgame! they were always going to have troubles at micelli’s!! eddie was always going to haunt their narrative!! they never make it to the movie together!! tommy was always going to have to fight for a “spot” in buck’s life and the moment buck finally lets him in (ie he gets a good parking spot) he’s not willing to put in any work to keep it. he never learned that buck doesn’t like basketball he never indulged buck’s love of deep dives even in the breakup he called buck impulsive but the thing is buck isn’t impulsive by nature! he can be self destructive and throw himself into danger for others but actual decisions in his life are so often made by committee. the only time he acts impulsively is when he’s clinging to dying relationships. and he wouldn’t even call him by his name! the only time he calls him buck is right before he leaves when for ONCE he sees him completely. the bucktommy breakup was some of the best work the writers have done in a while im sorry that yall fell in love with a plot device and got mad that he was used as a device for the plot but the writers led you to the water it’s not their fault when you don’t drink

something i desperately need to see either in a fic or on-screen..

Buck getting home from a shift and just passing out on either the couch or the bed and Tommy coming by after his shift—with a key of course—to see Evan asleep and finds a throw blanket to lay on him then lightly kissing the top of his head.

ooh, man.

[erlie]

I am convinced Buck had NO CLUE.
