Closet Conversations

Wrote my first fic in 4 years for these two after last week's episode. What would happen if 9-1-1 let Evan Buckley explore what it means to be bisexual (and not by way of hooking up a bunch)

Hope you enjoy!

Six months is a long time to stick around if he thought you’d dump him. OR After his boyfriend dumps him, Evan Buckley goes on a date, makes a new friend, has some conversations, and realizes he's queer. Tommy haunts him every step of the way.

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

Saw a really good post summarizing the problems with 911 season 9 except it went on a tangent about B*ddie and said this

Hey what happened the last time the show added a gay character? Quickly.

[skodasforge]

The “I would kill [gay character] with a gun” fandom when the show is suddenly skittish about adding gay characters.

There are a lot of people who start creative projects with no business or financial plan, because "who cares, it isn't important, we'll figure that out later". And you can't let yourself become that person. Not because I'm a sneering finance bro who thinks your woke animated youtube series wont make money, but because if you don't you'll wind up financially exploiting your friends for years

[mollyjames]

Look, it's none of my business if you wanna work yourself to the bone for no money so you can make your dream project a reality. I think you shouldn't, but also let's be real that's basically a rite of passage for young creatives. But as soon as you start involving other people? You need a plan. You need to be able to compensate them for their time, and you need to have it in writing

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

If asked about their celebrity crush (pre-coming out):

Ilya: Shane Hollander Lucy Liu (tied with Keanu Reeves)

Shane: Patrick Swayze Sigourney Weaver (second guesses himself because what if choosing her seems too gay) Kate Upton

the thing about shane is he's literally sweet. unless of course he's being a bitch

[shaneposting]

can we recentre shane and ilya laughing and being silly and having fun and playing together

[innerchildabortionclinic]

some of these blorbos don't have tragic enough backstories to justify all that I won't lie

[shaneposting]

anyway good morning a crucial tenet of hollanov’s relationship is that they’re equals and they’re the only people in the world who could ever be each other’s equal. they were supposed to stand alone at the top but they’re there together. shane does not view ilya as a lazy useless inconvenience. ilya does not view shane as a nagging killjoy. they are equals and they both think the other is the best thing since sliced bread and they love each other but more importantly they LIKE each other. stop making them not like each other!

[shaneposting]

like ilya spends his entire life being told (by people objectively shittier than he is) that he’s not good enough, he’s lazy, he’s undisciplined, he lets people down. and then he meets the one person who would actually be in a position to assess whether ilya is any of those things, and shane just earnestly looks into his fucking soul and says no, they were wrong. ‘you’re an awesome player to watch’ ‘i don’t know that side of you at all’ ‘this isn’t what this is. me and you’

and it’s such a fucking tragedy that people are trying to push MyIlya back into a setting where he’s constantly being lectured about his inadequacies by the very person that canonically reminds him all the time that those inadequacies were figments of his dad’s imagination

[geddyqueer]

what if you were in love with a guy and he was in love with you and none of your issues in your relationship were insurmountable but you only existed within a narrative that punished you for trying to break out of the narrow story format that your creator had bound you to? and you were both firefighters?

[animentality]

[itsalwaysdark]

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

[skodasforge]

Ngl there is some unintentional cruelty in the recent promotional material for Disney/ABC adjacent properties using BuckTommy knowing Tim has basically openly admitted to abandoning them as a concept at the behest of podcast besties in his recent interviews. ABC seems content to celebrate them as one of their Big LGBT Couples but if you know the show’s current state you know Tim is too scared of not looking cool to a micro niche podcast for Tommy to even come back briefly. There’s a dissonance there that feels like the higherups are trying to trick people into getting their hearts broken by promising BuckTommy, but that only lasted 1.5 seasons and two years later Buck’s only acceptable “love interest” according to Tim is his son.

Nothing forges stronger bonds than hating the same bullshit fanon thing
