Hello, friend!!
No worries!! I looooove talking about Bucktommy. Man, I wanna go back to that ship, Tim Drake has been occupying too much of my mind lately.
At first, I loved Bucktommy because Tommy seemed like such a breath of fresh air in terms of Buck's love interests. He is soft spoken, patient, handsome, and not only that, but he is a great character all around. I love his dry humor, his selflessness, his loyalty, and his desperate desire for family and belonging.
This is the same guy that always shows up when former coworkers call him with favors that are frankly illegal. He is the guy who will go to his date's sister's wedding a week after knowing him, after a disastrous date might I add. He is the guy that will come to said wedding covered in grime and soot, straight out of his shift, simply because he promised. He is the one who listens to his boyfriend's ramblings about Billy Boils and sleeps on the couch to be there if he needs anything and dresses up to attend a funeral for a centuries old corpse just because his boyfriend wants to.
And he's the guy who had such a painful time coming to terms with his sexuality in a world where he clearly lacked support and connection, that when the love of his life asks him to move in, old wounds and fears take hold, Tommy walked away.
Also, Tommy called him Evan. He called him Evan, and suddenly the name sounded full of warmth and affection and love. It changed me.
Fun fact, I used to be a huge Buddie shipper. Like, I'd try to get all my friends into this show by reeling them in with the Buddie dynamic, and I truly believed they could go canon. When Tommy kissed Buck, I was thrilled, because I thought that was gonna be a stepping stone towards Buddie.
But watching Tommy being so sweet to Buck, and frankly the incredibly horrible way Buddies have been reacting and talking about Tommy, have absolutely put me off the ship for good.
