Bi Buck - Tumblr Posts
god i have amazing luck with fandoms.
i start watching 9-1-1 and interacting with the fandom on tumblr?
a week later we get bi buck.
i start watching supernatural and interacting with the fandom on tumblr?
destial going canon (again), misha collins being misha collins, and the news that a season reboots coming out.
And it's the 100th episode? They literally made bi buck a series milestone.
Actually I’m gonna double down on Buck’s parents being not only not homophobic but vocal allies. I’m gonna say Buck’s dad sponsored the GSA at the school where he worked since the 90s, and Phil and Marge deliberately normalized lgbtq+ stuff when raising their children. And I’m gonna say that makes much more sense with Buck’s “I’m an ally, looking upon other men with a lustful gaze is perfectly normal 😊” blitheness. If he had been raised in a homophobic household he likely would have noticed his occasional gay thoughts because they would have probably scared him. But instead he’s only briefly tripped up by having to recontextualize these things in relation to being part of the community, instead of simply supporting the community.
In conclusion, Phil and Marge were still bad parents, but Buck coming out as bi is probably fine with them, and they possibly even approve of it more than anything else he’s ever done. And they’re trying to be better, so it would be funny if they’re actually overtly welcoming to Tommy and Buck’s like “damn all I had to do was kiss boys?”
actual footage of me watching 7x04 😭
If I had a nickel everytime my favorite character on a TV show had mommy and daddy issues, was in love with their best friend, had severe self esteem issues but pretended to be confident, was constantly being self sacrificial, found out he had a brother as an adult, had a much better father figure named Bobby, and was bisexual coded and actually got to be openly bisexual on screen? I'd have ONE FUCKING NICKEL! Dean winchester you deserved to have this too
OH MY GOD!!!! BI BUCK IS REAL!!
(unless I hallucinated it. I didn't hallucinate it right?)
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
Live reaction to watching Buck kiss Tommy (even though I've been screaming BI BUCK for 5 seasons):
So 😅 I would like to rescind some of this statement.... cause after watching 7x04...
I STAND CORRECTED 😂 and I'm not even mad about it.
So...
Buck is into Tommy.
Tommy is barely interested in Buck.
Tommy is into Eddie.
Eddie's excited to have a new friend. (Can Buck come too? 😀😀core)
Buck feels like Eddie is cheating on him.
Interesting 🤔🤔
The whole episode I was kinda confused, cause even before we saw Eddie and Tommy hang out Buck was already with Tommy.
So I was like 🤨🤔
But the synopsis said 'Buck grows envious of Eddie, so NATURALLY I assumed they meant Tommy's the problem...cause that's how Buck was acting.😒😒
Then we get the last minute Uno Reverse scene in the loft....
BUCK @ TOMMY: trying to get your attention has been kinda exhausting 😅
Me:
The thing is I actually like BuckTommy? Kinkley?? (whatever), I think it's cute, I love that Buck didn't just immediately dive into Eddie... I think Tommy and Buck are the right move right now.
But Buck...😒. Really?? You weren't looking for Tommy's attention. Just bffr, you wanted EDDIE'S ATTENTION. Like come on, even Tommy could see that 😂
WAR IS OVER! WE MADE IT!😭😭
i just wanna pour one out for all the bi girlies (gn) because i Know y’all have been Through it at times in this fandom, and this means the world to all of us… but i know it’s extra special for you.
i love you… oliver loves you.
y’all made it l!!
🩷💜💙
I can’t believe other buddie shippers are made about BuckTommy like do we all not want to see Buck get absolutely wrecked by a man who can pick him up and throw him around? Eddie’s time will come let Buck railed babes
buck really allied so close to the sun he became bisexual
Rewatching S1 knowing that Buck is Bi is so fun. 😂 Cause, every time he appears on my screen, I can't help but think 'do you know you like to kiss boys??'
But can you imagine if Buck had been bi from the beginning🤣🤣 he would have been an even bigger menace in S1. That boy would be limping in late for his shift, wearing some other dude's shirt, with lipstick smudges on his neck (and don't even let me start with the hickeys!)😂😂
This episode was absolute perfection! The writers are geniuses, the actors are geniuses, the directors, camera people, lighting, editors, everyone who worked on this episode are all geniuses and they deserve a MASSIVE round of applause.
There's so much to talk about but I wanna start by talking about the staging of the scenes where Buck is feeling jealous, because ugh it was so well done.
It's so simple but they just isolated him. And it's not that noticeable in some of the smaller scenes but I know many people noticed it with the teaser and stills at the airfield. It became obvious to me after Eddie gets injured, but here are some examples:
In all these scenes Buck is obviously in his feels (but when wasn't he tbf) and he's stood by himself, opposite to everyone else.
I found this really clever, because yeah, Buck does express that he feels like he's being left behind, but he's done that before so what's new? What's new is the very confusing feelings of romantic jealousy being thrown in the mix. But romantic jealousy over a MAN. This has never happened before.
Finding out you're queer can be so scary and isolating because your entire view of yourself is changing and if that's changing how are you supposed to be yourself around others who've only known you as heterosexual up until this point? Add in the fact that Buck is somewhat oblivious to why he is acting the way he is towards Eddie (his bestfriend who's done nothing wrong) for a time and he's going to feel even more isolated. It gets to a point where he's lashing out because he doesn't know why he's feeling like this. And even when he's hurt Eddie he doesn't even ATTEMPT to move towards him, he's just stuck where he is.
By isolating Buck at all these moments, both the initial problem that sparks the jealousy and Buck's subsequent internal struggle are portrayed to the audience in a such a simple way. Doing this allows the audience to truly understand what's happening. Queer audiences will recognise themselves in Buck's isolation and heterosexual audiences will gain a further understanding of how troubling a queer realisation can be, allowing them to empathise more.
Even when Tommy comes to the loft Buck still starts out isolated:
They move to either side of the kitchen and put two (2) tables in between themselves. Then as they work through their issues and Buck starts to realise just WHY he's been so standoffish about Eddie and Tommy hanging out they get closer. Then they start to connect over how cool they thought the other was and how annoying that was and end up toe to toe:
Buck's finally accepting what he's feeling and then BAM! They kiss and everyone screams with joy!
I don't know, l just loved all the little nuances they put into this episode that were subtle indicators of their endgame (bi Buck), and it made it feel like the creators really cared about this storyline and wanted to do it properly for the fans but more importantly for THEMSELVES, and not just randomly giving Buck a throwaway line of 'yeah I've slept with guys before' to establish his bisexuality purely for fan appeasement. So, to that I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved with creating this episode because I was sobbing for 10 minutes straight after it aired from being handed bisexual representation in such a loving but also unfussy way and seeing myself reflected in my favourite character. So on the off chance someone involved does see this, THANK YOU!
⬆️THAT IS HOW HE KNOWS 😭😭😭😭
9-1-1 -> 6x1 ❝ let the games begin ❞ / 7x9 ❝ ashes, ashes ❞
+ bonus:
HOLY FUCKING SHIT OHMYGOD IM GOING INSANE LIKE ABSOLUTELY BATHSHIT!!!
so when i started off the episode and buck and tommy were talking i was like hmm this seems kinda like theyre flirting and then at the end before they kissed i was thinking that it looked like they were gonna kiss and they did!!! im so fucking happy wtf
like the fact that buck is now canonically bi is just so ahhhh. i cant this is. i literally cant
Writing a 911 fic with an oc as Tommy’s younger sister and shows up to the 118 after a personal tragedy. She’s navy and Tommy takes care of her son while she’s deployed. She knew Chim/Hen/Bobby when she was a kid. What does everyone think?
Buck is canonically bi who else cheered!!!
❤️💜💙
