And This Isnt New To 911 Obviously Because As Long As Ive Been In Fandom (12 Years) The Loudest Voices

And this isn’t new to 911 obviously because as long as I’ve been in fandom (12 years) the loudest voices in most of them have been people that love gay ships but don’t quite see gay men as people, much less people that could be in the fandom. And it’s been dressed up a lot of ways: making one side of the m/m ship more feminine the other more masculine, fanon characterizations that basically turn one of the men into a gender neutral at best self insert for the fandom, self-lubricating rectums becoming a genre in and of itself, outright apathy towards canon gay characters in favor of the fandom-dominant ship that better fit the “Destiel Formula,” etc but it all came back to the same underlying issue: a significant portion of fandom doesn’t view gay men in anything but the abstract, as LEGO bricks to be reassembled at will to better suit their whims or as dolls to smash together.

At the end of the day, every problem I have with fandom seems to come back to the knowledge that some of them don’t see me as a gay man as a person, but as fic trope. And that’s exhausting.

trying to make the new gay character into some kind of predator is definitely the way to go guys👍 keep up the good work on your journey to Good Representation👍

Give me your most toxic Sal Tommy hc. And your cutest one please c:

Britt's Headcanons (SalTommy #2)

Sal was the reason he and Tommy never went public with their relationship.

Tommy fought him to try and convince him to openly admit what they were, but Sal dug his heels in and refused, wanting to keep it hush hush.

"Keep it between us baby, the world doesn't need to know." Sal always said, but Tommy wanted to hold hands in public. He wanted to show the affection.

Eventually though, after months and months, Tommy couldn't take it anymore and ended what they had. It was only then that Sal realized just how much he had fucked up.

Britt's Headcanons (SalTommy #3)

These boys are ass over tits in love for one another.

They constantly surprised one another with little gifts, whether it be a keychain or something that went in one of their apartments.

Anytime one of them saw something that reminded them of the other one, it was quickly bought and gifted (normally within a 2 hour period).

what do you mean “bobby only said tommy is good for buck because he hasn’t talked to him yet” bobby knew tommy before buck even became a firefighter and was tommy’s boss. chimney, hen bobby all hung out at a bar with tommy. please rewatch the show before you spout some dumbass shit like that. im begging you.

I just got an idea. You know that a bunch of people including me want Tommy’s helicopter to crash and Buck not knowing whether his boyfriend is still alive or not. Let me give you something more.

So while season 7 was airing, people wanted Buck’s loft to burn. But imagine. Buck’s loft burns down, no one knows if he’s alive or not. Buck is alive at the end. Then he goes to live with Tommy. But what if, Tommy’s helicopter crashes when Buck is living with Tommy. But no one seems to find it. Since Buck is too close from the case, he’s forced to go home, which is Tommy’s house. I want Buck not knowing whether or not his boyfriend is alive and I want him to break down in his boyfriend’s house.

I am B E G G I N G people to remember that Buck isn't a child nor is he a virgin. He is a grown man who knows how relationships work.

And while we're here... teasing is a thing friends do, adults mostly, when they want to give each other shit but also get their point across without being too fucking serious. This isn't Mean Girls, and Tommy is not Regina George, so please park your bus.
