#AllIWantForChristmasIsLou 2025!!!!

We’re back baby! Here to remind ABC and each other that we are a fandom filled with love, kindness, and cheer! Before we begin, a quick note: Last year we raised over $3,000 for various LGBT centered charities around the globe besides Trevor Project and I loved learning about all the work being done in other countries to help their LGBT youth. In that spirit, while the Trevor Project fundraiser will be our main focus going forward, I will still reblog AllIWantForChristmasIsLou posts from international participants who choose to donate to local charities.

How to participate:

Testimonials

The only requirement to participate in this event is that you tell us with the tag All I Want For Christmas Is Lou what Buck, Tommy, BuckTommy, or the fandom means to you in a post. If you choose to donate, you can tell us how much at the end of the post. Either way we look forward to seeing your testimonials!

Donations

This year we’ve set up an official fundraiser page with The Trevor Project here (unfortunately it does not embed well on tumblr) our goal is humble compared to last year: $2,170 USD

Fanworks

Part of our call to action is encouraging others in the fandom to donate. Fanworks such as gifsets, edits, or fanart are a great way to do this and while we are not at all requiring people to make fanworks as part the event, (with the exception of the lovely @buffaluff who was forced, forced I tell you! to remake the banner in their iconic style for this years event) we would love to see the love for our boys spread in anyway possible! Please tag wirh AllIWantForChristmasIsLou and our donation link

Feedback

What would this fandom be without a reminder to send feedback to ABC to remind them that people still love Tommy and his relationship with Buck. You can choose to write a bespoke message or simply copy paste your testimonial and end it with the #AllIWantForChristmasIsLou tag (or use the add an image feature to add our banner)

Happy Holidays!

It’s that time again!

While we had some brief and iconic appearances of Tommy Kinard this year, from the hookup to “and for you,” we’re once again stuck in limbo for whether our favorite helicopter pilot will ever return to our screens. Let’s celebrate what we got while making our desire for more known to ABC with our second annual #AllIWantForChristmasIsLou campaign.

A reminder of what we do for this event:

From Wednesday, Dec 17th to Thursday January 1st, 2026, we will be running a fundraiser for Trevor Project. (Fundraiser is not yet live as of posting)

In addition, we encourage everyone to send in feedback to ABC telling them how much we love and appreciate Tommy Kinard as a character and as representation. We encourage a respectful appreciative tone in line with the holiday spirit. Click “I like this show because” as your category of feedback because while we miss him dearly we are grateful for the time we’ve had with him and hope his story with Buck isn’t over. If you so choose, end your feedback with the banner image (last year’s provided currently, this year’s is under construction)

Fanworks encouraged but not required. Encourage your friends to donate however you see fit!

Our initial fundraising goal based on last year’s phenomenal numbers will be $2,170 USD.

Happy Holidays!

Hello again!

The team has come up with a new way to get involved with this project for those who still want to get involved!

Head on down to the ABC feedback form (found here) and let them know why you love bucktommy, why you want them back, just about anything you can think of, and include the #tommystoydrive hashtag! Bonus points if you want to mention the hashtag; we know ABC and Tim Minear know all about this drive and support it, but showing them some more love and support can never hurt!

Here's an example of what the form can/should look like:

Special thanks to our admin @katherinehepbcrn @actuallybrini and @fakemouthstaticpilot.

An even bigger thanks to our wonderful volunteers @peppermintquartz @buffaluff @buckbuckleykinard @totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus @citrus-lou @beanarie @kitty-tommykinarddefender.

And the biggest thanks to everyone who donated. We could not have done it without your kindness and generosity. We are so proud of everyone. Thank you all so, so much.

Don't forget to send us a DM or an ask for access to the correct address to send your donations to! Remember we won't be posting this publicly for safety reasons (even if the address is public knowledge anyway) so this is the only way to get access to it! At the end of the event we will collate everything and bring you a compilation of all the donations! If you can't afford or are reluctant to take part in general, that's no sweat! Feel free to send a letter and/or postcard of support with the same message from the main post. Feel free to include #tommystoydrive as a hashtag too!

Questions?

We're only 4 days deep into #tommystoydrive and we're so overwhelmed with the support that's been shown in the last 96 hours! Below we've attached some examples of toys that have already been donated - these are just a handful, and some toys have multiple units donated!

Our team has liaised with several charities nearby the delivery location and we have confirmed several details that are being passed directly on to Tim Minear, the ABC team, and the 9-1-1 team! If we hear directly back from any of them, rest assured we will keep you updated!

Once again, we want to thank you all for the love you have shown and let you know that there's still time to donate, just please make sure that your donations intend to arrive by December 17th at the latest so they can be donated properly!

If you haven't heard yet, today is #GivingTuesday turned #GivingLOUsday, a drive in honor of Carla Ferrigno, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. You can find all information on @givinglousday2025. Or just click here. There's also a raffle going on as a thank you for your donation. If you can, please donate. Maybe one day there will finally be a cure found for this horrible disease.

Lou posting an Insta story and almost immediately deleting it again? Oliver taught him well, guys. He taught him well. He might even shed some tears now because he's so proud of him 😆

Mentally, I'm still here...

If anyone ever doubted the importance of one Tommy Kinard, there you go. He saved Bobby's life eight years ago. So without him, the TV world would have lost him way earlier. Technically, even before there was this nice little show called 9-1-1. He has a way bigger influence on that show than many viewers might think. With last night's episode, he saved Bobby's life twice (S07|E03; S08|E16), he saved Athena's life (S07|E03), he saved Eddie's life (S02|E14), and he helped saving Chimney's life (S08|15). So, in a way, he's like the personal lifesaver of the 118. I'm just so happy Lou got to play Tommy again. This role is like made for him. You can see in every sequence, no matter how short, how much heart and soul he puts into this character. I hope with all my heart that we will see a lot more of Tommy in the future.
