A breakdown of the Fangirlish interview: an exercise in media literacy
Given that the reaction to Buck and Tommy breaking up has been exacerbated by those interviews, I thought I would look into the one from Fangirlish in order to look at it with my media literacy hat on and see what was actually said. So, here’s a link to a version that doesn’t give the writer clicks because you should make up your own mind before providing revenue to the platform https://archive.ph/fqhlE
We start off with the headline: Lou Ferrigno Jr. on Saying Goodbye to 9-1-1, That Breakup and What’s Next
Right away, as the reader, we’re immediately told that LFJ is saying goodbye to 9-1-1, the implication being that this is the end of the road, no going back. This is, I will say, a choice that the writer made when they created the article: they decide on the headline, no one else. Going in, our mind has already been positioned to believe that this is an exit interview and to understand everything that comes next through that lens.
Supporting this path is this: “Lou Ferrigno Jr.’s time on 9-1-1 has come to an end[...]” but it’s important to note that no one has said this but the author of the article. At no point does she provide a statement from ABC, Tim Minnear, or LFJ to back this statement up.
Another unsubstantiated statement she makes is: “For Ferrigno Jr. it wasn’t exactly the way he envisioned the end of his time on the show [...]” Yet again, at no point in what she quotes from Lou does he say this at all. This is her take on the conversation and she has provided not a scintilla of evidence to support this statement. What she does provide is the following quote from LFJ:
“With the way things were going, and the connection that they had, I was under the impression that it was working, and they were connected,” he shared.
Putting this in the context of the interview, it does make it sound like Lou was blindsided by the break up, which is a very normal thing considering that we all know the actors barely know what’s happening even when they have the script. It’s not surprising that Lou didn’t know about the break-up since even Oliver Stark mentions that he didn’t know about it until they began filming, even though the possibility had been floated some episodes earlier.
So while this quote in the context the writer’s given does seem pretty final, if we remove the exit interview lens from it, it just reads as an actor expressing his surprise at the path his character is going.
Continuing on, the writer then writes the following: Ferrigno Jr. admits he had issues with this ending [...]
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, she doesn’t provide a quote to back this up. What she does right is frame the next quote as [...] but trying to get into the mindset of Tommy [...], which changes the context of the quote that Lou gives.
“If preserving his emotional health and saving himself is the only means to survive, then you can’t shame him for it.” He went on to add, “I honestly don’t believe that the relationship matured well enough that they should have made any type of long-term decision.”
So she makes a statement that says LFJ has issues with the ending and then immediately moves on to talk about the acting choices Lou had to go through in order to understand where Tommy was during the scene.
Perhaps the most direct quote from Lou about the relationship that sounds troubling with regards for the future of Buck and Tommy is this: “I just would have hoped that it would have lasted a little bit more,” he also told us, adding that in the hour we also have Buck “looking at those girls, and that sucks for Tommy, and it sucks for any person that’s looking at their partner looking at someone else.”
Taking this with the fact that this has been positioned as an exit interview, I agree that it does sound damning, but if you remove that filter from it then I believe it reads as an actor expressing mild regret that he didn’t get to play this stage of the character and this relationship more. However, I will admit, that this is open for interpretation given that we don’t know where this came in the interview since we don’t know what prompted this answer.
And for Ferrigno Jr., he admits he knew the two were done for good when he realized his character would call Buck “Buck.” I feel I’m a looping record but where in the interview does he say that? He doesn’t say that at all in the quote that she provides below.
She writes: Instead, Ferrigno Jr. told us that Tommy “only knows the man in front of him, Evan. And I knew it was going to come [the moment he called him Buck] because he’s always saying Evan all the time. I’m looking at a character that I’m playing, and he’s just like Evan, Evan, Evan, and in that line, I was just like… I knew this was going to happen.”
“And he doesn’t have to say that. He still can say Evan. But that is essentially signalling that this is all I know how to do, and it’s too much.”
Linked with what LFJ said earlier about Tommy protecting himself, this quote from him makes sense in the fact that Tommy called him Buck to protect himself from the hurt, to try and create some walls between them. But the writer has made this sweeping statement that he knew it was the end, implying that the relationship is at a permanent end when nothing LFJ has said supports that.
And then we move onto the bit that really highlights the bias that this article has been written around. The writer asks Lou: Could the show have been using Tommy as a roadblock to a possible Buck and Eddie relationship?
Getting into the professionalism of this question is for another time but I’ve added it here so you can see the fact that this is someone who is focused on the Buddie of it all. Evidence that supports this is in the author’s various tweets and the coverage of 9-1-1 on their website.
And I know we’re all worried about LFJ’s scheduling conflicts but I will posit that it was a standard answer from an actor who is just doing his job. In his words: “I would absolutely love to come back, but I do need to continue on my journey here. I have a number of things now that are going on that may or may not happen, and I hope that there’s no conflict if it were to be the case.”
Basically, this article is written from the point of view of it being an exit interview but at no point is evidence provided from official sources to support that statement. Throughout it all, Lou’s answers are framed within the narrative that the break-up is permanent and that he’s gone from the show for good.
I hope that this has been interesting and informative for those of you who have read it, and I hope it serves as a reminder that media literacy is for everyone, not just for an attack from those on social media against fans being publicly disappointed that a queer relationship has broken up, temporarily or otherwise.
#i think this is the longest post i've ever made on any social media platform#but it needed to be done because of the damage it's caused#reading the article without the panic of the previous week has been illuminating#and i honestly hope that ABC will stop providing screeners to this person#as well as stop encouraging or allowing their actors to interview with her because if she can't keep her Buddie bias out of the interview#then she shouldn't be allowed to do one#bucktommy#evan buckley#tommy kinard#911 abc#911 discourse#fangirlish#media literacy

I think depictions of Anya being cruel to Curly or drawing out his suffering are artful and chilling but completely miss the point of the story and her character.
I'm not saying she doesn't deserve to have that "I told you so" moment with him but not in something callous or cold. Even if that is how it happened, she'd immediately feel guilty cause at that point she's not tormenting her tormenter or even the person truly at fault. She's doing something cathartic, similar to how Jimmy likely hits Curly to release rage he can't against the rest of the crew. She'd see herself as no different when she'd come back from the moment and see Curly cowering at her. She wants someone to take responsibility but how does being cruel to the defenseless help? Why would she want the power Jimmy has over her over Curly?
The idea of her extending someone else's pain is just so against the struggles she already faces and how she can't even bring herself to cause someone pain even to help them. Her very desire is to release herself from her own suffering and I doubt she'd even fine some sort of guilty release in being cruel to another.
#anya is not a character i see taking agency or indulging in cathartic behaviors#not knowingly like i see her as a character trapped in her head and maybe in the scenario she's cruel to Curly she is envisioning Jimmy#in his place but its not a story about justice or those deserving of punishment and those not like its the opposite of people projecting#their issues on the wrong people and saying things to the wrong people and doing things they shouldn't but anya uniquely falls out of it as#she is subjected to a lot of it but it is also not something she wants to subject another person to like you are doing what Jimmy does and#placing ur rage into another persons and viewing their actions through your eyes like she'd more likely yell at him than do harm or#cause him more pain like at least make it in character#but also she clearly doesn't want to see jimmy or curly in the same light and doesnt because she still repeatedly goes to Curly for comfort#and protection and god there's like concepts that need to be applied to characters individually and then the story as a whole#we can not view the game through only one themed lens less we forget to inspect the compounding factor of Anya is so much more than girl#that needs to be allowed to go off but a woman that simply wants right to be done by her and no more harm like she doesn't want to be aroun#the suffering like idk but some of yall would just benefit from like understanding that people are inherently grey with the capabilities of#black n white thinking or actions#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#anya mouthwashing#i like her the most but then again i am defensive of all women in media and hate when people change the way the character would take agency#for themselves like yes I want her to tweak out but she just wouldn't and I like seeing realistic depictions of a woman suffering the way#she is like shes not the type at the end of the movie to have a one liner but feel a shallow freedom cause she needs to realistically heal#idk but its just like there is an obbsession forming with making her character her pain and not how she handles and navigates the issue

every single "does x belong at pride" poll should include a qualifier about whether or not you've ever actually been to a pride march
#atlas entry#“should bisexual women with boyfriends be allowed at pride?”#how about should people who think other people's lives are their business be allowed at pride#what. are you going up to couples you think are straight and asking if at least one of them is bisexual? at a pride march?#“gay cops shouldn't be allowed at pride even out of uniform!” i hate to break it to you but I know gay cops and they don't have like. horns#you're gonna see a dyke with a buzz cut and combat boots and think “holy shit is she a cop?” what do you MEAN#are you implying we should implement some sort of background check at pride where they ask you if your boyfriend is straight or you're a cop#you know you can just go right. you can just go to the march. you can walk in#idk maybe marches in the US are different but I don't think you have to register in advance and get an ID badge like it's comic con?#the last pride march I attended there were about 5000 people and no one was being kicked out for having a straight girlfriend#no one gave a shat about the cops standing on the sidelines looking on with boredom or mild bemusement

"i already knew that you liked me, but do you know i like you?" she's not actually dead. she's got eyes. and ears. and a brain. i think maybe she figured it out.
#YOU'RE the one who has been super obvious about it AND she has ACKNOWLEDGED your feelings MULTIPLE times#whereas i think she has actually been careful not to explicitly reciprocate because she needed time to figure out#if she even wanted to be in a romantic relationship ever again#she's got issues ok!! the last time she allowed herself to like somebody she ended up six feet in the ground!!!#(or you know. four feet in the ground. shen yurong had to dig that hole all by himself in the pouring rain okay he got tired)#but yeah uh i think she knows. i don't think there's anyone who's spent more than five minutes in your company who doesn't know#the double#my posts#that scene didn't work for me and it's not even because they didn't show the kiss. the way they were shooting it it was clear if they had#shown it it would have been a dead fish kiss anyway. so i'd rather use my imagination#the scene didn't work because that line was so jarring. shouldn't she be the one saying that??#also would have been a nice callback to 'do you know you're good-looking?'#(maybe; i didn't check the exact words used)#i didn't need him to declare his feelings in that scene. i feel like he already has. i needed to see her tell him what she wants#so the whole scene just seemed off to me

You don't sound like a Fed.
You don't really look like one, either.

#this is abby's fault and she probably won't even reblog it#look i'm not even gonna tag it#it's such crack#but i am sleep deprived and quaido shouldn't be allowed to do this to me personally (she says digging up a photo from 2018)#he also shouldn't be able to arch his back like that tbh#tryin' real hard to not call him names over here just fyi#feel free to judge me for this one#cara gifs

#konan#and hanzou#and yahiko#and nagato#oh i am gonna be annoying again#because this whole setup just pisses me off so much!!!! she just HAD to incarnate the damsel in distress trope!!!! woman must be helpless!!#AND LIKE IT SHOULDN'T WORK WITH KONAN OF ALL WOMEN#HER JUTSU ALLOWS HER TO BECOME TRANSIENT!! hanzou couldn't do SHIT if she became paper!!#and before anyone says “oh but it's raining her paper would get wet” her papers not only resist water they also resist FIRE.#there was literally no reason for her to be captive except to set up the drama between nagato and yahiko's death#again konan is shown to be disposable!!! her role in the history is nothing without the men in her life!! AAHH *rips a door off its hinges*#don't take this as me disliking yahiko or nagato please don't because the ame trio is the most important thing to me (and sasuke too)#but it's evident that konan despite all her qualities her only purpose is to literally be one pillar sustaining a bigger building#and as someone who loves her very much and has her as my favorite character ever it. hurts :'(#ok i'm done. for now

Gtting excessively mad over stupid Hamlet analysis
#girl you wrote a whole book on this? lmao#you shouldn't be allowed to write analysis on Hamlet (the play) if you dislike Hamlet (the character)#and 'Ophelia is the only character that is true to her desires' What are you talking about?#no one can figure out if she truly loved Hamlet because she literally says 'i do not know what to think' and drops him the moment#her father + brother tell her to#she deserves better analysis that someone deciding she's the perfect courageous victim#have they actually read the play?#I'm skipping this one#personal

I snapped today at work, and by snapped I mean I politely commented on a help desk ticket by summing up an mess of an (type of) issue that's come up for at least the fourth time in the 2+ months I've been managing user accounts, and asked the person responsible to fix it (himself for once) because last time I fixed his mess-up it took me two whole days to work out the details with at least four other colleagues from different departments and I really don't want to do it again. there's other shit that needs doing, I've been working 10+ hour days for most of this week already, so I need to cut down not add on more.
(good thing tho - at least we managed to fix the issue where the dataset of a newer employee got mixed up with another one of the same name and therefore wasn't able to apply for any of the access/accounts she needed. technically not entirely my area but it does impact us not being allowed to create an account for her so I figured I might as well track that issue down. took three days and at least three other people, but hey - it should all work out now. yay for that)
#been feeling anxious af ever since bc it's the first time I've been this firm in a reply and idk how they'll take it#there's underlying issues in inter-departmental communication that need fixing that cause these issues to happen again and again#but my boss is on parental leave and his substitute is sick not that she cares or is up for doing her job where communication is concerned#so there's no real sense in addressing that rn esp by me who's only been there since June. but it does frustrate me a lot#anyway. I'm sure I'll get over this too. but yeah.. ppl not thinking things through for the two mins it takes to create an account#or the twenty seconds it takes to check if one already exists before creating a new one#or the minute it takes to check if folks still have an active contract past their time working in your department before deleting an accoun#just jfc. put in a smidge of effort and five mins total and save the rest of us from spending half a day to fix your mistake#oh well. if I get a pissy response I'll just blame it on being new as an intern and being too motivated and idealistic I guess#god forbid I expect people to do their jobs thoroughly or with at least a singular thought..#anyway. I feel like I'm allowed to be grumpy abt this since we are the folks who end up having to fix this shit#and by we I mean pretty much mostly me at this point bc one colleague is sick atm. my boss barely has time for this and is on leave#and my other colleague only works half time so I'm the one who's been handling most of these over the past month or so#which.. is still insane considering how I'm a goddamn intern who shouldn't even have admin rights tbh#but without them I couldn't do anything at all lol so here I am. nice that they trust and believe in me I suppose#that's why I try to do my best. (who am I kidding that's always the case anyway)#but yeah. definitely a 50% staff support job and only 50% of the other important things that need doing rn it's more like 90/10#and it's funny how I still dread my two hours of hotline. but every time the line is too busy I still jump in#we are also only 6 people atm out of 10 and three of us are still in training. and one of the trained folks had to come back in mid time of#next week we'll likely be 4#depending on if our substitute boss lady is back.. not that I'd look forward to it. she's a mess and she's been horrible to deal with latel#sure. she's stressed. but she's either snapping at me when I ask abt shit I can't know yet or she's ignoring me. great basis for team work.#so honestly I'd rather she not return on Monday. esp not if she's gonna spread her germs everywhere#but now sleep. sorry for the rant. it's certainly been quite the month since I returned from my own wisdom tooth rated sick leave..#gotta be up again in 6.5 hrs so I can be at work at 6 to let the electrician in. I'm gonna sleep so hard over the weekend I stg#a day in the life of..

on further reflection maybe it isn't out of character that i liked the kens over the barbies when a lot of the joke is how the barbies are all blandly nice and hypercompetent which as you may know is like my single most uninterested gender dynamic for fictional characters
#i shouldn't be saying any new opinions without rewatching the movie maybe fan response & hindsight is biasing me but it's like#oh you have men that are allowed to be silly and cringe but the women are all nice and have only minor surface level flaws? cool im bored#and the human characters honestly fall into a similar trope. the human women have *more* personality but still very little.#margot barbie as i remember her didn't really. have any flaws or do anything really wrong but she at least had desires#so she's *better* than the others. none of the other barbies except weird barbie are even distinguishable smh#i mean issa rae had the funniest jokes when she was allowed to speak but that's about it.#avpost#there's a reason the main barbies sequence i can remember is when they pretend to be stupid to get the kens to like mansplain to them#bc it was the one time the female characters were allowed to be like. silly. and not boring or trying to force an unearned serious beat.#unfortunately the idea of bad and/or cringefail women is antithetical to a movie like this but idk that's the characters i actually enjoy .#weird barbie could have at least been cringefail but she's still. hypercompetent too. :-/#idk maybe on repeated viewings ill catch more Subtle Flaw Nuance that makes the female characters less boring to me but#it just feels like based on what the movie was going for they were targeting all my personal least fave female character tropes#well meaning liberal babys first feminism media can fall into this trope of goofy men with competent nice women and its soooo dull.#like not always i have enjoyed my fair share of well meaning liberal baby's first feminism media. i have a soft spot 4 it.#but its usually things where the women have conflict *with each other*. or its horror media. so the women aren't all perfect/nice.

my dog literally broke his back (slipped a spinal disk) 😣
#this is kinda serious since dogs can get paralized if their spines get misaligned to severely#the vet put him on strict bedrest for the next few days#which means minimal walks and no stairs or jumping onto the couch or bed#he is NOT happy about this (we had to barricade off the couch so he won't climb on it but he kept standing next to it crying#so I moved the stuff so I could pick him up and put him on it so he wouldnt have to jump#and he jumped off before I could stop him#she also said that since he's a senior and because he has a very long back‚ meaning he's prone to this kind of injury#that even once he's better he shouldn't be allowed to jump a lot#so we have to get him doggy stairs to climb on and off of the couch and bed or pick him up#(since my mom is also old and he weighs about 20lbs this means I am the one who is gonna be doing most of the picking up and carrying)#poor puppy#or should i say poor old man#my dog#max e waxie (the 'e' stands for egmont according to my dad)

Honestly dipped back into hsr at the last second of black swans banner bc I wanted her so bad lol, but I haven't played in forever so I could only pull a handful of times then give up.... Then I hated acheron's look so much I dropped it again LMAO but now that they're lesbians caught in an Eldritch horror romance 👀👀👀👀
#i like the game q not just not time for both this and genshin#then all the women were wearing that same dress and i got fatigue#then black swan came out and I'm only sapphic i had 2 shoot my shot#then acheron's looking like a rehash of seele's look which i also....... wasn't a fan of let's say#but as much as i hate that look and those shorts they keep putting on the girls that animation changed my brain chemistry#i shouldn't be surprised it's like a dark verse eimiko 😣#once i realized she was the raiden expy i should've expected lesbianism but i don't know honkai lore at all outside of Star rail 🤷#text posts#anyway I'm gonna have to get back on the game 😞#well i will say the one thing i DO know about honkai verse for sure is that there's gonna be lesbians#seeing all the sapphic fans get so excited then seeing Western fans still complaining that it isn't enough or that it isn't real/male gazey#can't stress enough for the millionth time that this game comes from a country where queer stuff gets censored#and one thing i know about honkai is that they made their lesbians canon in another game and then got hit by the censor hammer#and one thing i can respect about hyv in the middle of their fanservice bs is them saying it the lesbians can't have it no one can#so now there's no PC ships and every other character has a same sex 'best friend' bc that's what they're allowed to call them lol#anyway

#seeing weird t //rf takes abt surrogacy is so. 😨 'you can't pay to use a woman's body!!!!' ok first of all that is. Not how it works.#like. obviously in some situations people choose to be a surrogate as a last resort which is absolutely not good#but i really really really hate this black and white mentality these people get where if it's bad sometimes it's labelled Bad#some ppl genuinely choose to be surrogates bc they enjoy the process of pregnancy & helping people achieve their dream of starting a family#'surrogacy should be illegal' do you realise how fucking insane you sound?#forcing women into surrogacy should be illegal sure. but can we like. focus on making a society where women don't feel forced into that.#rather than ruling it out and labelling it bad overall when it's so much more nuanced than that??? it's really really weird?#if a woman knows the risks of pregnancy but genuinely wants to experience it to allow someone else to have a child??#that's? their choice?#the least f*minist thing you can possibly do is say hey actually it shouldn't be allowed for women to do that w their body#like you do realise that sounds fucking crazy right#and then the whole 'they only 'enjoy' it bc they've been conditioned to think that blah blah blah GOD do you HEAR YOURSELF...#why are you acting like all women are immature children incapable of making informed decisions.#in the name of f*minism too like you must realise how patronising it is.#'she THINKS she wants it but no one wants that!!!' or maybe you just don't understand that different ppl feel differently abt stuff.#if YOU don't want to be a surrogate then don't 😭 it's no one's place to tell anyone what they want.#and for those with fertility issues etc etc who can't have their own children biologically it's such an immense kindness & blessing#to have someone willing to carry a child for you. like it's really incredible that people choose to do that#and undermining it by acting like they've been groomed into it by the patriarchy...... hello.#anyway rant over it's just such a weird take and not what i expected to see today#'just adopt' yes adoption is super important and there are so many kids who need homes but. it's also an extremely lengthy process#and rlly difficult sometimes too#& if a couple wants their own biological child that's their choice yk as long as everyone involved is ok w it ur opinion does not matter😭

tifa jumps off the train first btw. always, always.
#it's not about girlbossery it's about asserting her conviction as an established avalanche member#it's about courage as an act of being afraid yet doing smth regardless#the og handles the scene so well.. tifa calling the situation scary‚ cloud questioning if she really has the nerve &#asking why she came in the first place#which prompts her to get out of her own head. all it takes is a question‚ a nudge#at the end of the day‚ by participating she Consents to the fact unforeseen events can always happen during a mission#glimpses of tifa's mixed feelings shouldn't come at the expense of weakening her resolve to /push/ past her fear. squenix are u DUMB#that is arguably one of her most defining character traits in the ENTIRE narrative??!?!#otherwise it leaves the player thinking‚ 'what if cloud hadnt been there?' which..girl. She Has Been Doing This Well Before He Came Back#or worse‚ 'why did she agree to avalanche‚ again?' and not in the character-examination way#which is Such a rich question under the right lense..#yes‚ she wishes she didn't have to do this. even if it's not her first mission it still makes her nervous. she's allowed to‚ she's human#but shinra is so oppressive and she holds so‚ so much Hatred that it manifests in unpalatable ways#and she's Willing to do all this morally dubious shit‚ not to mention RISKY#jumping off a damn moving train is not the exception!!!!!!!!#um. this was supposed to be a simple 'tifa jumps first‚ the remake skinship moment is‚ characterization wise‚ a let down' post#but it got out of my hands JGFJFG#just.. know that i don't really acknowledge it on my remake verse. the implications r not worth the fanservice#chara study.

not to sound unwell, but i dearly miss sara chidouin
#i keep thinking abt her and i'm. augh. i cannot get it into words but she's so sweet and she should be allowed to show how loving she is#with her friends; she shouldn't have had to take up so much responsibility. i know it's part of the tragedy but.#she had a life to live. and perhaps it was curated but she still found meaning in it & would've been able to w/o asunaro's interference#and that was just. blatantly stolen from her. and no one was able to defend her within the death game#idly watching by as she suffers the mantle of leadership. not daring to do more than shoulder it at her side -#- though they still defer to her... they are there to comfort her. but they cannot take the burden from her#because they are the ones who placed it there. even unintentionally. only realizing in hindsight - when it's too late - what she's suffered#i'm so. sad. i just want to hug her...#jestersvaguely#yttdposting

I was following these two masculinity accs that I thought were different from others I had come across, but then they spouted a lot of the same nonsense that others have already said.
#txt#they were self-described “trad” men and yes i do take responsibility for knowingly following accs that already identify themselves with a#movement whose many values i don't identify with#like one was like “men don't cry on wedding because that's means they are a b*tch”#he didn't exactly say it like that but he did say that he thought men who cry are pathetic#he thinks wives should not work outside of the home because she will start emasculating her husband and all that nonsense#because she will allegedly cheat on him with another man because he isn't man enough or sumn'#i mean this idea is more correlated to legalism and wordly ideas than biblical ones#that is something that was done back then because the situation pretty much didn't allow it because of how hard it was#and the other one said that women shouldn't carry guns because it will make them more masculine#going by that men shouldn't cook or clean because they will become more feminine#just because you are doing something stereotypically “masculine” or “feminine” it doesn't mean you will eventually turn into the other sex#that post actually pissed me off and unfollowed him from then#he posted vids of men that were already exposed of being crappy towards women telling other men how they needed to do things#i'm starting to see through his bullcrap. he also got this air about him that he's always right and justifies himself by using the bible#and church#another one#it's a fact that the way we raise boys is inherently traumatizing and these mofos are still spreading that nonsense#idk. i might be the wrong one here
