What If Buck Coming Out Is The Thing They Approve Of Most For Him - Tumblr Posts
Saw a gifset that included Marge and Phil greeting Tommy in Chims hospital room again, and I know I've already explored this in a fic but I don't know which option is funnier:
1. Buck gave his parents a heads up that his date to the wedding was a man and then didn't give them anything else. Just "Hey my date Tommy is gonna be at the 118 table for the reception, Maddie and I already updated the seating chart, love you guys bye": so Marge's glance at Phil boils down to "I thought he was joking but that man just ate our son's face, likely somewhere in this hospital." and Phil is sizing up the guy as Buck slips past with barely any acknowledgement on his way to introduce Maddie and Tommy. Phil is intimidated and aroused.
Or
2. They have no clue who Tommy is, they have just watched their daughter get married in a hospital room and now their son is carting a dirty sweaty man straight past them up to his brother-in-law's bed, and it is very fucking clear they've been making out somewhere in this hospital. He says "Look who showed up." like this man was expected by the room at large, and he will not let go of the man's hand, he is smiling and giddy and his face is covered in soot and Tommy makes eye contact with them as he passes and maybe just nods his head because he knows most of the people in the room at least in passing so he can make a guess as to who these two are. And Marge looks to Phil like "Did you KNOW about this?!¿" and Phil is too busy being fucking impressed by the size of the beefcake his son is dragging along by three fingers to notice his wife trying to have a homophobic moment with him.
Either way, the look Phil is giving Tommy reads to me as confused and impressed. Like. He's Looking Disrespectfully at his son's boyfriend in that moment. He does not understand but he's secretly high fiving his genes for bagging that man.
