canon queer characters of The Gay Firefighter Show™ HAPPY PRIDE! [insp]

9-1-1 Evan 'Buck' Buckley and Tommy Kinard in Season 7

You said before that you don't think I'm ready and the truth is - I don't know what I'm ready for. But I am ready for something, and I think maybe that something could be with you.

What if while buck and tommy are on the phone, one of them slips out “I love you” before hanging up and afterwards suddenly realizes what they said and are like: 😳😳

buck like:

Chim and Hen's friendship is so fucking good, like.. it's one of the highlights of this show

We know that Tommy and Chimney have been keeping in touch thtoughout the years.

I feel like he would know, if Chimney told Tommy about his engagement to Maddie, maybe Chimney also asks Tommy about his love life?

I feel like Tommy doesn't really dress up, but when they meet up with henren (and madney, because they are THE allies), he lets Mara paint his nails in rainbow colours (she already got to everyone else).

Buck wears a bi, bi, bi shirt that makes everyone think his outfit is a bit more chill than expected until they see the truly obnoxious rainbow shorts and sneakers.

my most important question on june 1st is what dumb matching slogan tshirts do we think buck makes tommy & him wear to pride

I think if I were 13 and my dad told me off for having side chicks and then a couple months later I caught him cheating on his girlfriend w/someone who looks like my dead mom. Well I would simply say something not very nice to him!!!

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SCENE

if you look at them as the actors and not the characters there is so much love radiating in this picture

"So maybe we both have daddy issues."

Tommy confirming that Gerrard was just like his awful dad oh, his full backstory is going to hurt when we get it, and that's only based on what we saw Gerrard doing and saying onscreen.

Tommy having a homophobic dad. Tommy growing up in a homophobic household. Tommy learning to keep his head down and laugh along with the boys so he doesn't draw attention to the fact that he's staring at boys a little too long to be normal. Tommy growing up always having to overcorrect when he thinks he's acting "too gay." Tommy growing up being conscious of the fact that he has to overcorrect before he can even spell the word. Tommy being gay and thinking something's wrong with him and not having and people or resources around to tell him otherwise. Just. There's so much, there's SO much. And call me crazy, but that line about his dad seemed foreshadowy, like they're setting up something, even if it's just an interaction/showdown with Gerrard. IDK but I'm eating it up. Everything we learn about him, I just want to devour. He's so good and I want him forever

He's certified.

okay and also

Chimney and Maddie fostering Mara, not just to keep her close to Hen and Karen, but ALSO because they don't want her to be alone anymore. It's so important to me.

When I say I want to see found families that aren't forced into a nuclear family framework, this is what I mean. Hen and Karen are her moms, and no less so for the fact that on paper she lives with Howie and Maddie and Jee. And she also now has SO MANY new siblings.

Jee and Denny are her siblings now. And big brother/sister/cousins in May and Harry. And she has this huge family who are THERE for her and to fight for her. And not just the Buckley-Hans and the Wilsons, but also the Lees. Because taking in her best friend's child was Anne Lee's lasting act of love when Howie's mom passed away. And now Howie is continuing that gift in giving a home for his best friend's daughter, even as it is temporary.

These relationships go beyond a family tree. The 118 is a flourishing ecosystem of love and support. And that's why I love this show so goddamn much.

DCFS approved for us to be an emergency placement.

9-1-1 & THE KINKY ESSENTIALS + bonus

Someone pointed out that it's this still.

The fact that we didn’t get to see Buck’s facial reaction to “God I hope so” is going to HAUNT me.

Show us his facial journey, you cowards!!
