Statement: 'Eddie doesn't like Tommy'
Incorrect.
Actual canon: Eddie had a massive dudebro crush on Tommy
Source: He hung out with him several times incl. introducing him to his kid.
Statement: 'Buck was trying to get Eddie's attention not Tommys'
Incorrect.
Actual canon: he is trying to get the attention of the hot pilot
Source: Bro literally said it was Tommy's attention he as trying to get
Statement: 'but the gym scene... Tommy wasn't even there so obviously it was Eddie's attention he wanted'
Incorrect
Actual canon: He was trying to get invited to the basketball pickup game because he knew Tommy was going to be there
Source: Eddie tried to make him go to the pick up games before and Buck was only interested once he knew Tommy would be there.
Statement: 'He is a bad person because he never apologised for his past actions towards Hen and Chim'
Incorrect
Actual canon: Shown growth in between each 'Begins' episode despite very little overall screen time and by the time he leaves it is very clear he is friendly and liked by both Hen and Chim.
Source: In 'Bobby Begins' all three are joking together and they hang out outside of work. Chim stayed in contact at least somewhat irregularly considering he called in a favour from him later on in s2 which is set at least a few years after 'Bobby Begins Again'. This shows that there has been some level of forgiveness between the characters. Also there's 15+ canon years between 'Chim Begins' and when we see Tommy again in s7. We don't know what apologies were made that weren't shown on screen, and sometimes actions speak louder than words. Plus no one is the same person as they were 15 years ago, especially if the 15 years younger you is stuck in the closet and terrified of your homophobic and racist boss finding out about that.
Statement: 'Tommy doesn't care about Buck and made a sex joke when Buck was trying to open up'
Incorrect.
Actual canon: Tommy checked in with Buck and gave Buck opportunities to talk about everything that had been going on. Buck was the one to imply about Daddy kink, Tommy just went along with it because he is letting Buck set the pace.
Source: They are grown ass men who are capable of both having a feelings conversation and also then make dirty sex jokes because again they are grown ass men and are probably having dirty sex as we speak.
Statement: 'The rest of the 118 don't like Tommy'
Incorrect.
Actual canon: Bobby thinks Tommy is 'good people'. Chim and Hen hung out with Tommy outside of work by 'Bobby Begins Again'. Chim likes Tommy well enough to keep in touch over several years to a degree where he can call in multiple favours.
Source: Just watch the show bruh
#im not actually gonna tag this bucktommy or anything that could potentially put this on peoples feeds#I just needed to vent out the ridiculous statements that I keep seeing being put out there as canon when its simply not true#if they were putting it out there as fanon then thats fine#thats literally what fandom is for: twisting canon into whatever we want so we can enjoy it but that makes it fanon#just because you want it to be so doesnt actually make it canon and theres a DIFFERENCE#Also can you please decide that youre only happy to take what is canon based on what is explicitly said on screen#(r.e Tommy never apologised because it was never explicitly shown ons creen)#OR#youre happy to make assumptions based on what ISNT shown explitly on screen#(r.e buck wanted eddies attention despite the on screen words being that he wanted tommy's)#because dying on BOTH hills? just weakens your arguments and is so full of contradictions#like i said i dont intend for anyone to see this bc i have no interest in perpetuating this fandom 'war'#i just needed to vent this out for myself
