Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus @totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus - Tumblr Blog

Fic Masterlist

Update 12/10/25: Can't believe I'm actually putting this, but I use the tag "Hocus Pocus yells at clouds" for more contentious/controversial anon ask answers. Sometimes I wade into fandom discourse/wank because I don't like the idea of one side of a debate being the ONLY one that people see. But, I realize that's not everyone's cup of tea. So yeah, if you don't want to see those responses, that's the tag to block.

BuckTommy

One Foot Out the Door (Won't You Come Back Inside?) Tommy and Buck navigating their relationship after Eddie realizes he is, in fact, in love with his best friend (BuckTommy endgame)

Something to Sink Your Teeth Into Tommy is a thousand year old vampire. Buck is a witch who's been banished from his coven for a murder he didn't commit. Together, they have to find a way to prevent a coven war from erupting in LA.

Vigil Tommy is a licensed wizard working for the wealthy Buckley family. Unfortunately, sometimes even magic can't protect the people you love from those who want to harm them. (read the tags carefully before proceeding)

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

Man, those leopards are FEASTING on faces with this administration.

Remember that time the Buckley parents announced out of nowhere that they were getting a divorce for absolutely no reason, and then nothing really came of it, nothing changed, and it hasn’t been mentioned since?

Wild.

totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus

I'm not going to lie, the Buckley divorce remains HILARIOUS to me because there is literally NO reason for it. The Buckleys had so many things happen that would reasonably break up a marriage.

They lost a child. They severed themselves from their entire community support system so they wouldn't be judged for having Buck the way they did. They were empty-nesters AND they were estranged from both their living children. Their daughter was horribly abused. Their son was in a series of life threatening situations. They LIVED TOGETHER IN A FUCKING RV. Alllllllll these really stressful moments/situations that can and do break up even the most rock-solid marriages.

And yet.

When they have (more or less) reconciled with their kids, they have a (by all acounts) loving relationship with their grandkids, they have (been implied to have) dealt with their grief over Daniel and moved forward as a family...THAT is when they're like, "yeah we can't do this anymore"

And like--not even in a "we spent so many years together in a pressure cooker of trauma and now that the pressure's gone, we realized there's no actual love or bond holding us together anymore" way. THAT would have been interesting and honestly, realistic. But no, it's just...Surprise Shawty!

I know I advocate for remembering that 911 is a greasy spoon diner, not a Michelin Star restaurant in terms of what to expect from the quality of the writing...but goddang do they have a problem with getting their storytelling backwards. It's not even all the telling vs. showing (tho God knows that's an issue to) it's that SO many of the major emotional points in the last few seasons have so obviously been thrown in to produce the end result that they want, rather than letting the emotional beat be the result of the actions leading to the end result, if that makes sense?

There's no scaffolding or structure that lead us to these big moments, so the big moments feel shoehorned in or like they came completely out of left field.

Campaign for Oliver Starks Birthday!!

BARK BOTHERED AND BEWILDERED

Welcome to June! Happy Pride Month. Also Happy Birthday Month to Oliver Stark. Which brings us to our next charity venture: Bark, Bothered, And Bewildered! Our goal this month is to raise money for shelter dogs in Oliver’s (& BuckTommy’s) honor. We’ve found a great rescue based in San Francisco called Muttville. What makes this place so unique & special is their mission is about helping senior dogs in particular. Whether it’s providing them loving care, foster homes or helping them in their final days through hospice care. This place is also the nation’s first cage-free facility. They do work with their foster program, donations and adoption events & other galas including Pride/LGBTQ+ causes. Which is a great way to tie-in to Pride Month & both Oliver’s & Lou’s love of dogs! Check out their website to find out more about their mission & ways to further help. Thanks again for your love & passion for BuckTommy & giving back in their honor ❤️🐶

#This shit was SO good

My fucking mortgage company just tried to give me a heart attack. Got a notice from them that they've completed my yearly escrow analysis and projected a shortage so they're going to be raising my payment.

Yeah, I'll pay the fucking shortage. Jesus Christ.

Regarding Brown's good poll numbers, I think I-an Ohioan-can guess why:

Of late there have been a ton of adds about husted and him taking hush money regarding the epstein files, and as we know, even the maga idiots actually care about that

What do you think Vivek's chances are in the gubernatorial race?

A little tough to say, this is a backwards ass state, and the Democrats candidate is a woman, but the republicans have a brown guy with a name that's hard to pronounce

I'll give Amy Acton a slight edge because I expect Ohio to be more racist than sexist

totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus

I got to hear Amy Acton speak at my teacher's union delegate assembly last month, and she was amazing. I'm also giving her slight odds over Ramaswamy because Ohio is probably going to be more racist than sexist (at least as long as the woman is white), but I think she also gets some points in rural areas like mine for having grown up poor vs. Ramaswamy's current vast wealth.

More than that, though, people are PISSED at how expensive everything is, and the anger is actually starting to be aimed in the right direction for once. James Carville was very, very right that "It's the economy, stupid" and this economy is not good enough for Ohio to reliably do it's usual "blindly vote against its own interests" schtick. I'm so hopeful that we get Brown back in office and Acton in the governor's mansion.

I really wonder (perhaps suspect) if getting renewed for season 10 wasn't as much of a sure thing as they made it seem. I think maybe they went into the season, or part of it, thinking it could be the last. That's why everything, up to a certain point, really looked like they were gonna be wrapping up Buck's "happily ever after", most likely with Tommy. Same thing with Eddie.

And then, shit, we have a whole other season now that we have to drag this shit out.

Anyways, whether that's true or not, I really feel like the show is on its last legs and it'll take a LOT for them to get season 11. Far better shows have been cancelled for a LOT less. (RIP Brilliant Minds 😭)

I'd kinda wondered that myself, honestly. There was a lot this season that really seemed to fly out of left field at the end--like, even more so than usual, and I was quite surprised by some of the directions they took. Like, honestly, a lot of the threads they ended the season on could have functioned pretty well for a series finale.

And I agree, I don't think season 11 is much of a lock at ALL. Particularly if Nashville doesn't pick up in the ratings. They both seemed to be pretty steady in viewership, but I feel like I saw a lot of commentary about Nashville not doing very well in the "demo" audience at all--or at least not well enough to justify the expense of making it. Sure, they're saving money with TN tax benefits...but they also have multiple cast members that are NAMES, even if they're not as big as Angela Bassett or Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Like I said, I think the Theo situation will likely cover a lot of ground next season as far as Buck's personal storyline. Be interesting to see which direction they go with that.

i miss when subscriptions didnt really exist and you could just pay one time to buy an app or some software, and then just.. have it. without ads. without recurring costs. without more paywalls. it was just yours forever.

hi hocus! i was just wondering if you could let us know where your head is at after the s9 ending? i know you were pretty hopeful for something on the bt front, but after those tim interviews dropped, where do you think that leaves buck’s love life for s10? i personally see 10a focussing on buck + theo and 10b only touching on buck’s love life if the show doesn’t get renewed for another season.

Hi friend!

Alas, I do have to concede that "Tim's gonna Tim" did, in fact, come to pass. Now, whether Tim Tim's back in a direction I would be happy with as far as Buck's love life remains to be seen, and I think will depend on how permanent an addition to Buck's life Theo turns out to be. I SUSPECT that Buck trying to get permanent custody of Theo after someone in Connor or Kameron's family comes forward, and that fight dragging on will be the main meat of Buck's personal storyline next season...that or they will handwave the complications of Buck being Theo's biological father, but not his LEGAL father and his main storyline will be settling into single fatherhood. If they go with the former, then I expect it will end with Buck either gaining permanent custody and some heartwarming arrangement where Theo's other family steps up to help him with childcare during his insane hours as a firefighter, or Buck will come to the conclusion that Theo living with his grandparents/aunt/uncle/whatever is actually what's best for him and give him up while promising to remain part of his life.

In either case, that really doesn't leave much room for a romantic storyline. Now, if season 10 ends up being the last (and I do think there's a very real chance it does in this economy with the expense of the show and the pretty good-but-not-SPECTACULAR ratings it pulls) that changes things up a bit, as I DO believe the intention for Buck's character is to have him settled with a family of his own as his ultimate endgame.

Which is where Tim's interviews factor in. Now, as always...my opinions are based on nothing more than the fact that I've been in fandom for over 30 years at this point (fun fact, this is the last year that I will be saying that, as my birthday will push me over the line that it will actually be closer to 40 than 30, holy fucking SHIT), and have actively been in TIM'S fandoms before. I can be, and frequently have been, wrong.

But, as I said in answer to another ask a few weeks ago, Tim's most recent interviews read, to me, as basically a declaration that no one is getting what they want on that front. I'm not going to speculate on how invested Tim ACTUALLY is in Buddie, but the fact remains that (ESPECIALLY in this societal climate), ABC is not going to give the green light for it to happen, even if Tim, Oliver Stark, and Ryan Guzman wanted to do it (and to be clear, I don't think all three of them do). The factors that make queer!Eddie an extremely hard pill to swallow for 911's GA, and therefore a bigger risk for the network than Bi!Buck by an order of magnitude, have not changed. That said, it's also apparent that the Powers That Be were probably turned off by the tantrum that large parts of the online audience threw every time Tommy Kinard got so much as mentioned. Unfortunately, this has the effect of basically making Buck and Eddie completely radioactive as far as romantic storylines.

At this point? I think the most LIKELY scenario is one or both of them get a love interest shoehorned in at the series finale a la Natalia in season 6. I do rather think Buck's shoehorn would be Tommy (kind of the way that DJ and Steve reunited in the series finale of Full House?), but beyond that, I dunno.
