#911 ask

Hello, friend!!

No worries!! I looooove talking about Bucktommy. Man, I wanna go back to that ship, Tim Drake has been occupying too much of my mind lately.

At first, I loved Bucktommy because Tommy seemed like such a breath of fresh air in terms of Buck's love interests. He is soft spoken, patient, handsome, and not only that, but he is a great character all around. I love his dry humor, his selflessness, his loyalty, and his desperate desire for family and belonging.

This is the same guy that always shows up when former coworkers call him with favors that are frankly illegal. He is the guy who will go to his date's sister's wedding a week after knowing him, after a disastrous date might I add. He is the guy that will come to said wedding covered in grime and soot, straight out of his shift, simply because he promised. He is the one who listens to his boyfriend's ramblings about Billy Boils and sleeps on the couch to be there if he needs anything and dresses up to attend a funeral for a centuries old corpse just because his boyfriend wants to.

And he's the guy who had such a painful time coming to terms with his sexuality in a world where he clearly lacked support and connection, that when the love of his life asks him to move in, old wounds and fears take hold, Tommy walked away.

Also, Tommy called him Evan. He called him Evan, and suddenly the name sounded full of warmth and affection and love. It changed me.

Fun fact, I used to be a huge Buddie shipper. Like, I'd try to get all my friends into this show by reeling them in with the Buddie dynamic, and I truly believed they could go canon. When Tommy kissed Buck, I was thrilled, because I thought that was gonna be a stepping stone towards Buddie.

They edited Lou out of the vid...like how childish do you have to be to do stuff like this.

to me it’s just funny. lou is part of the show and has been since season 2. he’s been friends with kenny that whole time and clearly, kenny still is friends with him and thinks about lou being on the show. tommy is forever part of buck’s story and the story of the 118.

and they can’t change any of it.

they can’t ever escape him. they can’t stop thinking about him, so much so half the comments left on kenny’s video are about hating on lou (which is crazy because kenny clearly reads comments and why would he want people to hate on lou who is his friend and coworker?)

I would bet money, that there was a tweet like there out there,

but the organizers chose wisely to not include it.

I would have loved to have seen it though!!!

I LOVE that they use "Me" and "I" and "You" that is so funny to me. Like what the hell are those showrunners thinking, we ain't blind and Ryan and Oliver aren't exactly subtle lol

Who was he seen on set with???

From what I've seen (I don't follow that many 911 blogs still, but I did do some snooping around after hearing about the billboard), some very misguided fans pooled money for a billboard ABOUT Bobby Nash in NYC. Apparently there are some people who think this billboard will get people to boycott the show if 911 doesn't bring Bobby back. These people may or may not also be involved in an online petition to bring Bobby back. (The petition exists, I'm just not sure if it's the same people, but there's likely overlap. Very much feels like another heller situation, but I digress.)

Here is the first post I saw about it. It has this picture:

If you can't see in the lower left of the image, it says

#LETBOBBYLIVE #OURCAPTAIN #HOMESAFE

#BRINGBOBBYBACK #BRINGBACKPETER

This is how you can tell it's about Bobby Nash/Peter Krause.

But...for random people in NYC that don't know this is for a freaking tv show, at first glance this looks an awful lot like an IRL 9/11 attack memorial--with the ash on the helmet and the 118 and the name "Bobby." 🙃🙃 And the (AI generated??) "los angeles" maybe too blurry to read. I'm looking at it right now and still can't be sure it's even spelled correctly.

Now, should EVERYONE be rightfully expected to know/remember the names and stations of everyone who died that day? No. But should someone putting up a billboard of an ASH COVERED HELMET in NYC be expected to stop and think, "Wait, this imagery is a lot like 9/11 memorial imagery. Maybe I should do some due diligence before I put this up JUST STREETS AWAY FROM THE IRL TRAGEDY."??? 1000% yes. If you're old enough to have billboard money, you're old enough to realize how in poor taste this is before doing it.

No one he works with believes you actually top him so he sends them videos of you absolutely railing him
