break me off a piece of that fancy feast

I just want to let you know that every time I see your username, I spend about 2 minutes saying it out loud because I'm trying to figure out the pun and I have yet to figure it out 🥲

"wait so your favorite Tommy moment is when he almost outed Buck when Buck was feeling anxious during his first date with a man?"

Oh look it's another person trying to "catch" you. So to the BoB (and we know it is) who sent you this, let me give you some feedback. If you want to play these games in which you attempt to moralize why one ship is better than another, maybe don't affiliate with the fandom that just had tens of thousands of people buy into and spread a lie that resulted in hate against a real person? Again.

If you care more about the wellbeing of a fictional character than you do a real person, you need help.

very curious when screeners are going out for this two-parter

As I gay man, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when bestie boos contort Josh's speech to be about Eddie.

my pet peeve is the narrative of this show goes over a lot of peoples heads.

like with the closet joke in 7x05- if that was meant to be “tommy outing buck” and buck being pissed off, that would’ve been the narrative and it would’ve been shown on screen. it was just a funny joke, so that’s how the show treated it.

if tommy was a racist, sexist prick, he would be portrayed as that in the show. the characters wouldn’t like him, and they definitely would’ve brought it up to buck by now. but he isn’t, and the show isn’t treating him like he’s a bigot either, because that’s not the story.

to go further with this, the narrative in season two WAS that tommy was a close-minded jerk, until hen and chim arrived. we literally see them make up on screen and see tommy become friends with them. the actual narrative there was he became a better person. the show isn’t telling the story that he’s still that jerk, they literally showed that he’d changed seven years ago. to disregard that is just arrogance.

i see a lot of people calling tommy a bad boyfriend and i honestly don’t know where they get that from because, again, that’s just not the story being told. if he was a bad boyfriend, buck would’ve seemed unhappy with him, his friends would’ve talked to him about it. they haven’t, buck was happy, no one was concerned, because that’s not the story being told.

they’re all for preaching “everything’s shown on screen for a reason” until it’s tommy being a nice person and him and buck having a good relationship.

they can infer (read: delude themselves into thinking) whatever they want, but it’s simply not the narrative being played out on screen.

i think a lot of people do over-think scenes too and over-analyse and infer things that aren’t there, when sometimes it is as simple as what’s been shown on screen. if characters were meant to be upset or mad, it would be shown. if characters were meant to be shitty, it would be shown through them or other characters reactions. that’s not to say we can’t imagine things happening afterwards, but you know what i mean. you can’t state “omg he hated when she said that” if the character is just smiling or looking at them.

you can dislike a character and think they’re a dick for whatever reason, but until that’s actually shown on screen or a character has a negative reaction towards them, it’s not the story being told and can’t be treated as truth, gospel, or canon.

especially in this show. they’re all literal grown adults ages 30-60. they’re not in high school, they’re not being petty, if they had serious issues they would talk about them.

ya know what song plays in my head every time you get accused of being someone?

🎶 They call me Stacey

they call me [Bree]

that’s not my name 🎶

I’m glad someone said this, because this was very FRUSTRATING to me, people really gave Lizzie McGuire ridiculous interview so much clout and BoB’s so much power with the notion everything was over for BT, I’m so glad Buck’s baking is what gave us hope because WOW, folks just gave up, excluding you, in fact you were the first to see right through that awful piece of journalism..

Hey, in which episode of 911 did you participate as an extra?

About the bucktommy or buddie poll: I think is quite accurate to think that is a 60%buddie/40%bucktommy and multipshippers

And I think that’s great!

(Because we are a lot and also because it breaks these ideas that the other side is too big that they deserve special things or the only engagement)

sorry, i just joined the fandom in the hiatus between 8a and 8b so im not up to date on all the fandom knowledge. was the whiteboard an official thing?

people love to hate on tommy for the closet joke and “abandoning buck by the side of the road” but let’s just be real for a moment.

buck is 33 and BEEFY. he is unlikely to be in danger on the sidewalk at 8pm in downtown LA. he’s a grown man capable of calling his own uber to get home, he’s not a little child.

also tommy was completely justified in both those instances and the show shows us that.

like buck had essentially shoved tommy back in the closet before the closet joke, and i actually think tommy handled that with grace and care. he could’ve been pissed but instead he understood that buck was in a new situation.

he even says this when he cuts the date short- he doesn’t think buck is ready. he also says later on he didn’t cut it short because buck “behaved badly”, but because it’s a very new thing to buck and wants to make sure he’s ready.

a lot of people take that as “he’s doubting bucks sexuality” but i always understood it as “tommy thinks buck isn’t ready to be seen in public on a date with a man” which tommy can probably understand. and the reason why tommy thinks that is shown two minutes earlier- buck lies about them being on a date.

i think tommy did the right thing and i think he was justified in doing that. he shouldn’t have to go back in the closet after the journey he’s been through, it’s his choice if he wanted to, but he doesn’t have to. he didn’t walk out on buck, he wasn’t rude or mean, he still paid and told buck the truth. but he wasn’t in the wrong.

i feel this is a very complicated situation to talk about because everyone’s going to have different thoughts and opinions, but i also feel it’s important to have these conversations civilly. we all have different experiences in real life and we’ll all have different interpretations of what’s shown on screen.

what i don’t think is up for debate, however, is slating tommy for his actions, because it’s not portrayed in the show as an asshole move. buck understands it, the other characters understand it, and it’s even resolved.

(my bitchy moment: i think a lot of this goes over peoples heads because people are so young and haven’t had these real life experiences. they only know what they’ve seen on tv, not how the real world works)

Hello I'm an anon here to bother you--with LOVE and GRATITUDE because I like seeing you pop up on my dash.

If you could eat one type of cheese for the rest of your life, what would it be and what would be the best way to eat it?
