Tommy Kinard - Blog Posts

No matter how many times i watch 7x04 im still shaking crying throwing up like WHAT DO YOU MEAN.

WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Everyone talking about how Tommy tilted Buck’s chin for the kiss, which yes, valid and hot, but…

Buck after the initial shock moving his hand over to hold on to Tommy?

Unparalleled

And what if I said I just started crying even harder than I just was?!?!

also let's be serious right now okay. the choice to have tommy call buck "evan" was so inspired, because as this journey begins for him, the healing has to start from the very core. and before buck was ever buck, he was evan. evan was the core of all his insecurities and his hurt. what buck is hurting from is what evan has been hurting from this whole time

and now, he's free and he can start healing. and evan has to heal first. evan gets to learn and figure things out with tommy as his guide and that's beautiful. tommy is there to guide evan so that buck can face the world. so that buck can get what the core of what he really wants, and who he's been looking for this whole time. tommy will allow evan to be seen and heal in this new light, but we know who's been seeing buck this whole time

Brb gonna change my tumbler to a 9-1-1 theme to celebrate the good news!!!

Today will go down in history as one of the best days to have ever dayed

Okay so I'll just say it because I've been thinking it for a while, but the weird dislike or sometimes even hatred for Eddie Diaz (and Ryan Guzman) that is present in this fandom feels (at times) incredibly forced at best and downright racist at worst. And he's already a pretty white-washed character as it is. This is not in any way meant as a call-out to any one person in particular, and certainly not me saying he's a perfect character above critique, but my god, I need people to inject a little bit of nuance into their views of these characters. I love Buck as much as the next 9-1-1 fan, but he is not this perfect angel who can do no wrong like some people act like he is. Likewise, Eddie has made a lot of mistakes and done a lot of shitty things (some of which Buck himself has done, too). But at the end of the day, I think he is a very complex character who is doing the best he can with what he has and means well. I don't know why some of you are in this fandom if you dislike these characters as much as it appears you do.

And the SHIPPING WARS MY GOD STOP IT. I usually stay out of shipping discourse because I think it's ridiculous and unnecessary most of the time. Ship and let ship is always an option, and I think most people would benefit from choosing it. And listen, I will admit my bias and say I am primarily a Buddie shipper. But I have no issue with Bucktommy shippers as a whole nor the ship itself being popular. Do I ship it? No. I don't even particularly like Tommy as a character, but I don't care if other people like him and the ship. What I do have an issue with, however, is the way some of y'all act with such vitriol towards Buddie shippers, Buddie as a ship, and, specifically, Eddie Diaz as a potential love interest for Buck. This is where I think some people's underlying racial bias really becomes apparent, and no, I'm not talking about all BuckTommy shippers, only those that are explicitly anti-Buddie because they don't like Eddie. Because why, WHY are you so insistent on seeing these two white men together, who have had so little time together on screen and, in my opinion, have been shown to have very little in common with each other other than the fact that they care about and are interested in each other romantically, but so against Buck potentially being in a relationship with a different man who he has been best friends with for the better part of a decade, who wrote him into his will, cares deeply about him and who he cares about just as much, spends a lot of his free time with, and who also happens to not be white? Look, I'm not gonna sit here and say every single one of you is a raging racist or anything. I don't know you. But I think a lot of y'all would benefit from a little bit of introspection as to why you feel the way that you do about some of these characters and ships. Also, yes, Buddie shippers can be toxic and racist, too. I am not saying Buddie shippers are above those behaviors as well, only making an observation specific to some people's anti-Buddie and anti-Eddie sentiment.

Also, this is an aside, but the way fandom and shipping culture in general has gravitated towards strict adherence to canon content is.... weird. Like, why are some of y'all so allergic to engaging with or creating content outside of the confines of what the canon material has offered you? Have fun, be creative, go wild, and also be respectful to the folks around you who see things differently. We all share this space, and we should all care about making it as positive and welcoming of an experience as possible.

Being a part of the Marvel and 9-1-1 fandoms on Tumblr right now is so funny because on one side everyone is going crazy about the gay witches and waiting for Wednesday and on the other everyone is going crazy about the gay firefighters and waiting for Wednesday

911 fandom: "Buck deserves to be with someone who flirts with him"

Tommy: *flirts with him*

911 fandom:

The buddie shippers on Twitter might be the most annoying mfs on earth, suddenly Buck can't have a daddy kink?? Can we be serious for five seconds and not be dramatic over the smallest things?

"Bucktommy have no romantic chemistry" they've been together for TWO, 2, dos,✌️, due episodes can you guys chill y'all are so annoying at this point

Buddie stans i love you but you are being dumb af right now. Bro it wasn't Tommy it was the other guy, Deluca y'all are confusing them 💀

I didn't know Buddie stans could be so toxic, why are y'all on TikTok and Twitter acting like Tommy's actor is ugly???? Wtf is wrong with you people 😭 THIS MAN IS NOT UGLY 🙏 and even if he was y'all are judgemental ass people, ugly people can still be the love interest of a main character and deserve love as a whole???

Fellow buddie shippers please stop harassing the official 911 accounts about the ship and trying to bully Tommy's actor 😭🙏

Buck and Tommy have so much chemistry together, I hope they don't split them up for Buddie

THEY WOULD BE SO SO PROUD OF YOU
