So you did get those Christmas cards? I'm sorry I haven't been in touch much lately. Three years, Maddie. I haven't heard from you in three years. Yeah, I know. And it's not what I wanted.

buck and tommy “after dark”

companion piece to this

Why do so many BuckTommy fans think Tommy was right in what he did? In what way is dumping a dude you love the correct thing to do reather than sitting down an talking? I don't get it. Is it because people like Tommy more than Buck so want to make Buck the bad guy despite being the one that was left?

ok so on the off chance that this is asked in good faith i'm going to give you an answer that's not "because they're gonna introduce tommy's next love interest as your dad"

i genuinely think either a) you're taking the words of one or a handful of bucktommy shippers and applying their mentality to "so many" bucktommy shippers or b) you're misconstruing "buck was in part to blame for the breakup" as "tommy was 100% in the right". i have legitimately never seen anyone ever claim that tommy was right to leave buck and, respectfully, i have no idea what the fuck you're talking about

if you're making the first assumption, i genuinely can't help you. you need to get out of the bubble of your experience being The experience. if it's the second one, you need to stop conflating "flawed characters making flawed decisions is compelling" with "that character made the correct decision". tommy is a flawed character. BUCK is a flawed character. the breakup is less about who was right and way more about understanding character motivation.

tommy is fundamentally a man who is uncomfortable with praise (as we see on several occasions), so to be put on a pedestal causes him to panic and cut and run. buck is fundamentally so insecurely attached he might as well be the picture on the psychtoday website's definition of the term. they didn't have to do what they did, but then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it? it wouldn't be a story about the loneliness inherent to a shitty queer childhood, and two of the ways it can churn out dysfunctional adults. it wouldn't tee up one of the most compelling potential love stories about overcoming those gut reactions (clinging and self-isolation) i have ever seen in my life.

tl;dr they were both wrong. they were both hurting. buck was trying to enmesh himself so deep into tommy's being that he couldn't ever leave, and that freaked tommy the fuck out. so. yeah. that's why people aren't shitting all over tommy constantly for breaking up with him.

this is how tommy looks at buck when buck isn’t looking. if you even care.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry, did you want the red one? 😉

Has anyone ever told you you are a vision in a cone? 😏

beefy

and another thing: buck wanted to spend time with tommy before he knew he was attracted to him. this is so important when wondering if their relationship is solid or not bc it's not just the romance or sexual side of things - buck wants to spend time with tommy! he likes him as a person! they enjoy each other's company and personalities! it's having that baseline similar to friendship (yeh yeh we know it was a speedrun past friendship but the point still stands) that strengthens their connection.

those people still obsessing over the will

fine, I'ma hurt your feelings

it doesn't matter what Eddie put in his will. at this point if anything happens buck would 💯 lose a custody battle in any universe that makes sense. Eddie literally had to sign some kind of paperwork giving his parents legal authority over his child since he's been there for months and had to be signed up for school. and that's the only argument that would be necessary in family court. someone who just graduated at the bottom of their class at a bottom tier school and failed the bar a dozen times before squeaking by could win that case after showing up late with starbucks

stop obsessing over the goddamn will it was an ACTUAL plot device that served its purpose and is OVER
