#not to woobify buck but

[swiftiesbuddie]

when buck has a conflict with another character, it's often painted that he's in the wrong and he always ends up being the one to apologize

you can make mistakes but still have good points and deserve an apology

but that's somehow never the truth for buck and he never gets an apology

(either that or the apology happens off-screen)

i think it would be great character growth for him to realize that he deserves to be apologized to

cuz i think quite frankly, he still has a shit sense of self worth

Buck texting Tommy asking for his schedule and Tommy sending him "???" back because he's already told Buck when his days off are and when he's off shift long enough that they could get together, but he sends a screenshot anyway.

Two hours later Buck sends the picture back, only he's scribbled all his shifts in there too. They have three overlapping days off and Buck has circled them individually. Day one just says Sex. Day two: Sex, again. Day three: r&r, and then an asterisk that likely means something to Buck even if it doesn't to Tommy.

They've done most of it, already. Evan is actually a little obsessed with giving head, which was a neat surprise to both of them, but handjobs and general frottage haven't been off the table either. Tommy's been easing Evan into penetration despite Evan's protests that he's Incredibly Ready, C'mon Tommy.

I don't know what this means, Tommy sends off before he zips up his flight suit.

It means that's when you're gonna fuck me

Tommy considers chucking his phone across the room like he's just experienced a jump scare. They try to avoid getting too sexy when they're at work.

You know it's not a three day event, right?

And Buck sends back

ur the one who keeps putting it off

obvs u think it's gonna be so mindblowing it'll alter me as a person so i even prepared ahead and scheduled a recovery day

For some reason even the text speak doesn't put Tommy off. Neither does planning out sex while he's still at work.

What's the asterisk on Day 3 for?

That's for when uadmit I didn't need a full day to recover from the holy experience of getting dicked down by u and u let me rim you for like an hour before I fuck you

Come over tonight Tommy sends back, before he shoves his phone firmly into his pocket and doesn't look at it for at least an hour.

They don't end up needing the schedule

also like framing it in terms of what buck “deserves” from eddie is inherently the wrong starting point. eddie deserves to be with his son because he loves him more than anything. that’s non-negotiable to BUCK. he doesn’t want or expect eddie to choose him and he shouldn’t! if he expected that he and eddie wouldn’t have the relationship they do. this isn’t a situation that fits within the framework of buck’s previous romantic relationships whatsoever—eddie and chris are buck’s family. in that way i think it’s actually more comparable to maddie (also buck’s Person and family), who also didn’t want to be apart from buck but was in an untenable situation where she felt had no other choice. the thesis of this story is always going to be that you fight for your family. however that looks. because you love them.

The way some of you talk to defend Tommy just shows that you actually hate Buck. Season 1 Buck was nothing like season 2 Tommy and I can't believe that more than one person agrees with you.

do i hate buck, or are y'all so bias for him that youre willing to overlook any and all flaws he has and treat a grown fictional man like your precious infantilized uwu baby who needs to be protected??

"season 1 buck was nothing like season 2 tommy"

season one buck literally treated a job about saving people's lives as a vehicle to be used just for impressing women and fucking them in the fire engine.

season one buck looked athena in the eyes and callously dismissed her critiques of his irresponsible behavior while acting like he was the biggest hot shot hero on campus

season one buck was closeted without even realizing it

season one buck was so self-absorbed and bad at his job he GOT FIRED FOR IT

and the only reason he got it back was because BOBBY was able to overlook his flaws and see the potential good in them. and how buck is way more than just the irresponsible frat-boy who thinks he needs to act up in order to receive attention. just like how the portion of the audience that is reasonable and understands nuance and isnt buddie brain rotted does with tommy kinard himself.

not to MENTION, season SEVEN buck LITERALLY agreed to go out ON A PUBLIC DATE with a MAN and then FORCIBLY tried to shove that man back INTO THE CLOSET when his best friend stumbled upon them on the date HE WILLING AGREED TO HAVE IN PUBLIC so yall need to stop writing off just how fucking impulsive and immature buck can be sometimes. it's so fucking dumb boring

[lemmeaskthedevil]

Buck having more non consensual touching wahhhh

[iinryer]

what's a controversial 911 opinion you have

this is so funny. swinging for the fences right out the gate lol i don’t know if i have any opinions that would be considered “controversial”… maybe partially contested i guess? but nothing wild imo.

what comes to mind immediately is that i personally don’t think the lawsuit arc was out of character, it was fun conflict! and i also think it’s deeply embarrassingly mishandled in fanon.

i love drama and turmoil <3 buck is an impulsive dumbass with a heart of gold gilding his inner unhealed rage and i like it when he makes poor choices <3

Buck would be trying not to have a panic attack the first time Eddie suggests having sex while Christopher is home (even with the bedroom door locked).

me reading this ask:

sorry to take you to suplex city like this but buck is a grown man with a canonically adventurous sex life who is deeply in love with a single father with whom he wants to have beautiful baby-making sex with at all times. so no, he's not going to do that

also buck, like eddie, respects christopher's independence. he's a teen boy who doesn't need constant supervision and he isn't an idiot, so he's not going to go barging into his dads' bedroom when the door is closed anyway lol

[softestepilogue]

the constant disregard and erasure of the impact hen and chim had on bobby to help him during season 1 is really wild and exhausting

I know which one your talking about. There's that one and another one where Eddie beats the crap out of Buck and just leaves him to die. It's horrible. I muted the author of the second one.

ew. i haven't seen the one you're talking about, thankfully, but i wouldn't put it past this fandom...i'll never understand why they're obsessed with making eddie into this angry, violent man

[nymika-arts]

people in this fandom will be like "buck stans are so annoying" and then turn around and be the exact same kind of annoying just. with a different character so it's fine.

[eddiegettingshot]

i am going to make a dni but with 911 opinions

[unnecessarilygrandiose]

can i be honest. buck is a very well written character. his storyline while not perfect has been done well. it's very cohesive and real. that said. every day i log onto tumblr dot hell and i am tempted to blacklist everything related to him

[thedrunknextdoor]

actually im a lawsuit buck apologist n im tired of pretending im not

[babyslutbuck]

it's funny they hate eddie bc they don't understandn his character at all and they love buck bc they don't understand his character at all. if they knew buck like. I DO. they would throw up.

[gayhoediaz]

i love the way you write eddie, just as needy and loving as buck, i feel like a lot of people tend to write him as this stoic less romantic (or even less sexual) character and i just think he’d be right there with buck, now that he knows he can fall and have a safe space to land

thank you!! yeah i think it’s a common mischaracterization of eddie that he’s a man of few words or not romantic when everything we’ve seen actually shows the opposite.
