Posted on Twitter/X but reposting here because it's the main thing i constantly think about:

If Tommy was just a "plot device", why did Tim pick a character who has a connection to pretty much everyone in the main cast? Why not a new one? And here's the rub, you can't say "because then he'd be back on the hamster wheel", because then you're just proving my point 😏

buck being all nervous and giggly and smiley and flustered whenever Tommy rizzes him is like, my favorite thing in the entire world.

"i guess it's just me that makes you nervous" the LOOK on his FACE like are you KIDDING me???

You know who is next on the bi agenda?

Mateo Chavez I know you are one of us.

Don't worry babyboy your girl approves, she has a t-shirt saying "I love my bisexual husband"

Tommy looking at and fixing Bucks shirt. Noticing that it looks like it’s made from boyfriend material 😏

i've watched the Scene™️ a million times and yet the part where buck says 'is that gonna be right after our flying lessons?' and moves a little closer into tommy's space and gives tommy the sweetest flirty smile and tilts his head slightly in that way that he does still makes me feel so giddy and flustered that i have to look away 😭

i feel like people are way too hyperfocused on buddie and buddie alone when abc making buck bi at all is already such a win. i’ve seen a frankly alarming amount of social media comments acting as if abc has committed some horrible treason by not canonizing buddie as soon as possible. no matter how you think endgame is going to go, i think we can agree that tommy’s been a good influence on buck in this time of vulnerability. it’s only been two episodes and he’s already shaping up to be THE best love interest buck has ever had— maybe even the best one on the entire show that wasn’t already a fully fleshed character/part of an established relationship. ali, taylor, ana, marisol, natalia, they all feel very superficial and temporary in a way that tommy doesn’t and for one, im super fucking excited to see where they take the relationship.

i’ve visualized the healthiest attitude for everyone’s viewing pleasure here :))

Do people not realize Buck is a full grown adult? He was very capable of going home by himself. And Tommy explained why he was leaving and he was very nice about it, not rude.

Also Tommy made that closet comment because he knew Eddie wouldn't get it (I'm not even sure Buck got it).

I feel like your Anon is making stuff up....

The….the best love interest? He made a snide comment about closet space and almost outed Buck to Eddie and Marisol because of it. Left him standing in front of the restaurant after letting him think the date was continuing because he couldn’t communicate properly (which is very Taylor Kelly like and to various degrees all his other LI as well) And then never even apologized. But Buck had to. As usual. The delusion is strong with this one I fear.

ehhhh, i’d argue that the closet space comment was both relevant to the current conversation and only recognizable as having a double meaning to buck. eddie and marisol are talking about extra furniture, such as an armoire, tommy says closet space isn’t a bad thing. 100% an innocent comment to the two of them when they have zero reason to consider it anything else. and tommy kind of has a decent reason for saying it.

later, tommy says he doesn’t hide who he is, which is pretty significant when you consider the oppressive environment of the american military and the 118 under captain gerard— he’s probably come a long way to being open about being queer. i know i wouldn’t appreciate my date shoving both of us back into the closet. not just keeping the date in the down low: actively going out of their way to make us both look straight.

buck is clearly just learning about his own sexuality, but tommy’s not wrong when he says buck might not be ready to start dating if this is how jumpy he’s going to be about being public as a couple. buck definitely doesn’t have to come out to everyone around them and start waving rainbow flags around, but tommy has a right to decide that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who’s clearly not quite comfortable being seen as gay yet (the self-conscious looking around at the restaurant, the awkward insistence that he’s an ally, the panicked explanation that he and tommy are going to pick up hot chicks, etc.)

i did clock it as a bit abrupt when tommy left, but it’s not like he just up and ran or ghosted buck with no explanation— he turns visibly distant after eddie and marisol show up, orders the car, tells buck he doesn’t think he’s ready, and goes. not a crime to be honest, and i think taylor blueballing buck in a parking lot for a news story was a lot higher on the shitty moves scale than this.

bucktommy is so cute, idc I want them permanent

I apologize to my followers who came for good quality content. My brain be just like that.
