#imagining the torchwood crew trying to deal with the fears is hilarious tho

[lesbicosmos]

ok i swear i posted something like this ages ago but i can't find it so fuck it im posting it now

so im rewatching torchwood with my mum rn and im also in the middle of listening to tma so i can't get the idea out of my head that the torchwood team and the archives staff are literally the same people in slightly different genres, like torchwood just deal with aliens instead of the supernatural

anyway here's the character parallels i can think of

jack - jon

both the boss of the group

everyone hates them at one point or another

burdened with a fate they can't avoid (immortality/being an avatar)

bisexual (jack's omni but that's under the bi umbrella so it counts)

really doesn't like their love interest at first

ianto - martin

in love with their boss from like the very beginning

tea man / coffee man

softie but also like...don't get on their bad side.

Tragic Backstory™

one of their first interactions with their jobs was because of an animal (myfanwy counts as an animal here, then the dog from the trailer/liveshow)

tosh - sasha

the reliable one

definitely queer

dead (sorry)

owen - tim

the flirty one

bisexual

probably the one who hates their boss the most

dead (sorry again)

gwen - daisy

joined the group later

ex-police

easily angered

bonus: if gwens daisy, this makes andy basira lmao

literally the only difference is there's no elias - there's no evil boss, jack's just an enigma
