Pretty Sure You Don't Get To Call Our Entire Fandom Homophobic Or A Cult When It's Become A Battle Cry

So we've got

- New, more progressive network

- Showrunner change (aka the Buddie hater is gone)

- Tim posting a bunch of Buddie stills on his facebook before the season even started airing

- ABC choosing Oliver and Ryan to do most of the promo stuff and mostly together

- This picture (just the fact that they took one just the two of them)

- So many interviews talking about Buck and Eddie's relationship

- A bunch of quotes from Ryan including: "we get closer than ever this season", "there's a lot of changes in the relationship", "we're trying to give the audience what they want", "the writers have taken note"

- Tim's use of "right now"

- Tim talking about Tommy as if he's not sticking around forever

- The underlying sexual tension line

- The "you're not planning on jumping ship are you?"

- Eddie being so involved in Buck's self discovery storyline (even when it's indirectly)

- Family Feud???

- Buck being canonically bi

And I'm not supposed to think Buddie is going canon??

Abc: welcome to the abc family how do you feel about Buck being queer?

Oliver:

it wasn't just Buck trying to dig Eddie up by hand. it was Bobby bodily dragging him off the ground and Buck sobbing in his arms. it was Hen and Chim giving him the spousal treatment. it was Bobby looking at him with an understanding of grief. it was Hen saying there will be two cut lines if Buck went down. it would have been rough but simpler if it was just Buck digging at the earth. it became much more because everyone else knew what that meant.

bobby like "so eddie have you ever noticed that you struggle to commit to women who aren't the mother of your son" and eddie being like "i only married her because of said son" skaksjadjskaj insane

had to draw that one gif that’s all over 911twt as post “confessions” buddie😌

Chimney and Hen have always been together, like my first mate. Buck is very much like my son. Eddie is a little bit of a reflection of Bobby, in some ways.

I don’t want buddie because it would be hot to watch them make out or have sex or whatever bullshit some fans clearly wanted all along. I don’t want surface level lust for buddie.

I want them holding hands and being casually affectionate. I want them waking up in the morning together and eating breakfast as a family and taking Christopher to school together. I want pet names and prolonged eye contact and gentle smiles. I want them having tough conversations and disagreeing but still coming to a compromise because they love each other and value what they have together. I want Christopher calling buck dad and for them to have little inside jokes and have him bragging to his friends about having not one, but TWO firefighter dads. I want them defending one another against their parents and their massive expectations and their unwillingness to change even in the face of the long lasting pain they’ve inflicted on their children. I want them sharing their trauma and helping with pt exercises and talking about chronic pain. I want a wedding and more kids and a long lasting relationship that’s built on mutual respect and friendship and understanding.

I don’t just want sex or make out scenes.

I want romance. I want love.

This whole Tommy Kinard fiasco is the perfect example of how male-centric fandom is bc female LIs have been hated and had every kind of poison thrown at them (some even written in fics) for being much much much much much less of a shitty person. Ana was literally just a woman who made one potentially ableist comment and people were writing her as if she was an absolute MONSTER. Like can you imagine if Ana had a racist/sexist past? If she left Eddie on the curb for not being ready to date for whatever reason? If she almost outed someone through a shitty joke? If she consistently was shown to not give a single rat about what Eddie likes? People would be making petitions to have her executed in canon. And yet Tommy fucking Kinard has done every single one of those things in canon and he’s got one of the most rabid and annoying fanbase ever. Just bc he’s a white man who was kissing another man.

it’s either that or nothing
