9-1-1 Is A Comedy, Actually

9-1-1 is a comedy, actually

my 119 theory for season 8 is that it's a film set because they're making a movie of Taylor Kelly's book and it's gonna be so great seeing the 118 respond and seeing their actor doppelgangers. I will stand here with my arms open waiting for Apollo's dodgeball to strike me down.

I don’t want to be like “it’s homophobia” but genuinely people do not seem to see Gay Men as People who have unique experiences and personalities shaped by their gayness AND their masculinity.

Tommy is closed off and defensive in that scene because Gerrard basically called him a fairy to his face and now he’s being ambushed with a serious conversation. This is a natural way to react when you’re a gay man because (and I shouldn’t have to explain this) when you’re a gay man and a homophobe is near you, you get uncomfortable and have to retreat into a shell that will keep you safe. This is the reason so many gay men are “sassy” because having an acerbic tongue is often the only defense mechanism for a visibly feminine man. For more masculine men like Tommy, that defensive shell is going to look a lot like retreating hard into masculinity. So a gay man clamming up and getting snippy when faced with homophobia is pretty damn understandable.

Source: I’m a gay man and my main defense mechanisms are silencing myself or using dry humor to deflect.

Season 8 should begin by recreating the opening of season 1 where Bobby's at confession (i think?) and is like 'everyone has their way of coping with the stress of the job', referencing drugs and alcoholism before cutting to Buck 1.0. They use the same dialogue, similar set-up, except the Buck 1.0 scene is replaced with shots of a fully tattooed Buck and a moustachioed Eddie with Hen and Chimney shaking their heads in the background at the questionable meat suit customisation that's happened since Gerrard's stress-inducing return.

earth-1 chimney wakes up in an au where he’s married to the wrong buckley and eddie and maddie are dating. comedy potential unmatched
