gosh. the full weight of buck being canonically bi has hit me like a tonne of bricks and i’m trying not to cry at my desk but like. he’s bisexual. he’s discovering his sexuality in his thirties and embracing a new part of himself and we’re seeing this big bad strong firefighter break all sorts of stereotypes about the kind of man he’s expected to be because he’s kissed a man and that changes his life forever in the best ways. this is the stuff that 911 is just so fucking good at. they’ve done it over and over again in so many different ways with these characters over the years and it’s a fucking wonder to witness happen. they treat their queer characters with such tenderness and kindness and at the same time their queer characters just Are and there’s something so revolutionary in that. esp in an ensemble show that’s set in a world where you ~ classically ~ didn’t see so many queer people (the cop shows and emergency shows of old, etc, were so typically Manly and buddy buddy vibes u know)
anyway. buck is bi. and it’s a beautiful story we’re getting to witness and it’s making me emotional as anything. i can’t wait to see what happens next! i can’t wait!
