Congrats to the fans of the wee woo show. I don’t go here but it makes me happy to witness how this arc for Evan Buckley got to bloom and I’m happy because I hope this reflects another shift in the TV industry.

For some media commentary context for you: ABC network is owned by Disney. Fox network was owned by Rupert Murdoch. So I can see how the network change for 911 can easily be a factor on how this got greenlit, after years of creator Tim Minear’s intention to work in hints, on the off chance he could take it there. (I don’t go here, but I did my reading). Oliver Stark who plays Buck also revealed he's been for it and couldn't say anything, until he was sure they could do it, until it aired and was out there. (*steeples fingers*)

For further context, Bob Iger—with George Lucas’ vocal support—just fended off a right wing coup on the Disney board from the kinds of people (like Peltz) who complain “why do we need so many female leads” “why do we need movies with all Black leads.” While it doesn’t mean Disney is no longer an evil megacorp, I’m pointing out that its CEO defended inclusive Disney brand content to the shareholders and the board, as well as dismantling the idea that it can’t be entertainment while being diverse.

The ripple of this goes outside of the wee woo show fandom. I’m seeing the joy on my dash from people who don’t watch the show or don’t watch it regularly, as well as from people who have been watching a long time and noticed things and realized there was a progression and it was there all along, and I know how much this must mean to a lot of people. With the world being how it is, with what people are facing inside the US from the far right, in their real lives.

It’s very hopeful in general for inclusion levels on a major network TV show, owned by a big evil megacorp. Representation matters.

Also I'm aware the wee woo show already had a queer couple, plus it's already an intersectional inclusive series, that’s great.

There shouldn't be limits placed on inclusion though. “But you already have X” shouldn't be weaponized to tell people to shut up. There is no “enough” or “too much” when it comes to inclusion. While I'm not for undermining the inclusion that's there, I've seen that weaponization used with a series that hasn't been great on inclusion, and I've seen that weaponization used for 911, which is. It's a sus argument.

Indirect and unintentional as it is, also bi Buck shut down every concern troll, every gaslight, every denial, every rationale I've ever seen people deploy against bi Dean. Everything from people who don’t understand what bi actual means—“but he likes girls so he can’t be bi”—to “but he wasn’t declared bi from the start of the show so he can’t”—yes he can and the wee woo show just did. On one of the original big three networks. Or people who say it would "ruin the character." Really? “But he’s an action hero”—so what? Evan Buckley is a hero, Dean is a hero, both badass action heroes. “People who see this as canon are delusional”—Evan Buckley went O RLY? Not so delusional now, is it.

Evan Buckley avenged bi Dean.

It’s self-evident. It’s right there. Different show, different network, but the concepts are familiar, the situation has a certain familiarity. This turn of events on an ABC show didn't just make bi Dean fans valid. bi Dean fans were always valid, the bi Dean reading was always valid. But I appreciate how much what happened on the wee woo show bonked people with a truth stick, about self discovery, character arcing, queer readings, queer coding, and the validity of merely noticing things.

First of all congrats! It is rare for mainstream character to be canon !!

I have a general question - Is there also a another canon gay char on the show?

I think I saw 911 men kissing before on tumblr but idk if was an edit.

Also is Buck ? (the bi one) a main character or side char?

Just curious I have seen the 911 fandom from others but idk what is going on

Hii so a quick rundown:

Buck is a main, regular character of the show.

There are other queer characters on the show.

One of them is a main character, which is Henrietta Wilson. Her wife is a secondary character.

There’s also Josh, who works at dispatch, he’s a gay man who happens to be secondary, although he appears quite a bit.

There was also Michael, who was kind of a main character for a few seasons, but eventually disappeared. He had a partner, but they never actually kissed on screen.

They’ve had also queer background characters, but I don’t remember seeing them kiss.

If you’ve seen gifs of men kissing from 911 it could be an edit, but anyone’s welcomed to correct me if im wrong!

Update: I’ve been informed I forgot about TK and Carlos from 911 Lone Star!

congrats on bringing your 911 hyper fixation to that con and sending the spn fandom into a tizzy. icon behavior. queen shit. i hope the rest of your days go well 💕

i can’t believe i had the balls (hehe) to ask that. misha looking me right in the eyes and the pressure of being in front of all those people and holding that mic (i was afraid i’d drop it or my voice would crack… it was shaky but none of that happened!) me talking about bi buck and 911…. i literally brought my hyperfixation to an spn convention… to misha… i hope he goes to search up 911 now.

also!!! thank you!!! 🥺🥰🥰🥰

congrats on the kiss!! i have never seen 911 but i absorb it thru ur posts on the dash and im so happy yall got ur canon bi!

Awwww thank you so very much hon!💖💖💖Like we always knew he is bisexual,you know?Its nothing new for us,there were too many hints through the seasons (there is that ''mankisser'' gifset somewhere on my dash if you scroll down enough) but to see it not only confirmed - but done as well as it was and as a beginning of a meaningful arc?It was mindblowing! We got a bisexual Buck,a fantastic queer character in Tommy and we are at the very beginning of a much bigger buddie arc.Because yes we have been shipping buddie for years,its well documented on my blog lol-but we now have a date when buddie became an absolute reality and its when 7x04 aired.We are now done with will they/won't they and its just a question of when. Buck just found out that he is bi,just wait till he figures out he has feelings for Eddie and has been basically dating him for years.So yeah today is beyond exciting for the fandom!

And also it was personal for me-to see a man in his early 30s figuring out something so important,so life changing with that soft incredilous look on his face after Tommy kissed him? Like something wonderful just happened and everything finally made sense?! Buck was happy. And it reminded me a lot of my own experience,I was 20 when I figured out I was bi and it was one of the best days of my life.So to see this onscreen was something else.

#as you see i am way more coherent rn lol #i have been talking about bi buck all day and cant get enough #911 #evan buckley #buddie
