29/04/2023-RSPB Lodmoor 

Pictures taken here today in this set are of: 1. One of my favourite birds the Shelduck, it was great to see a few of these dazzling birds. 2. Some of the much cow parsley I enjoyed today. 3, 5, 8 and 9. Beautiful views here on a lovely sunny day it was great to be out in. 4. Nice blossom. 6. A handsome Tufted Duck it was great to see up close with it’s strong blue shade on its head. 7. Herb-Robert it was great to see them gleaming in the sunlight. 10. A Coot it was great to see closely too. 

I was very happy to see my first Common Tern and Common Sandpiper of the year here not the first time I’ve ticked them for the year on the same day, both strong and colourful symbols of joyful spring in their own way. It was also great to see Sparrowhawk, Swallow, House Martin, beautiful waders Dunlin, Grey Plover and Black and Bar-tailed Godwits some of them in fine plumage, Common Gull, Mediterranean Gull seen and heard well too, Gadwall, Wheatear, Cetti’s Warbler, Linnet, Dunnock and Long-tailed Tit, with great views of Speckled Wood and Orange Tip butterflies. Some early hogweed contrasting nicely with the more slender cow parsley nearby it, my first vetch of the year, a bit of sorrel nearly out, lots of Alexander’s, buttercup and lesser celandine were nice flowers to see on the top and far reaching walk round. I also possibly heard faintly my first Cuckoo of the year and enjoyed hearing Reed and Cetti’s Warbler.

Reeds I Limited Edition Giclée Prints

I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at plants on beaches and riverbanks and I think I’ll be spending quite a lot of time drawing some of these this year. Currently, I’m working on the third of my Reeds series and I hope to have this finished fairly soon.

Rehab No. 5/Unconventional Methods by Jackdaw816 (JackJohn | complete | 17080 | T)

When a job goes wrong, John's left with a choice. Prison or rehab. But he's weathered worse storms than spending a few months dry. He's not afraid to sing that ole tune. Even with a therapist who seems just a tad too interested in him for his own good

Between Valentine's Day and his past, Owen had never liked any of his past birthdays.

Though, maybe that wasn't so bad after all.

Ianto Jones meets an alien (and the Doctor makes a friend).

I Make No Promises As To Historical Veracity by copperbadge (Gwen&Ianto | complete | 585 | T)

Ianto copes by inventing the coffee machine. Gwen copes by crossdressing. Shortfic.

contrary views on the main question by fitzroysquare (Gen | complete | 1272 | G)

space tripping (in spaaaaaace!) by princessoftheworlds (Gwen&Ianto, JackIanto, GwenRhys, Gwen&Jack&Ianto | Complete | 5115 | T )

Gwen and Ianto road trip across space - space trip, get high, shop, have a light existential crisis, face grief, and get massages - not all necessarily in that order.

fool's gold by princessoftheworlds, violetmessages (JackIanto, Gwen&Ianto, Team, Others | Complete | 32859 | T )

hands off by princessoftheworlds ( Jack&Tosh, Owen&Tosh, Ianto&Tosh | Complete | 647 | G )

The first time it happens, it’s an honest mistake on Jack’s part. Tosh has just finished retrofitting her new PDA after the last one was destroyed wading through the Cardiff sewers for Weevils. She’s added a Rift energy detector and direct access to the Mainframe and sets the PDA smackdab in the center of her desk when she wanders away in search of a cup of coffee, hoping Suzie or Owen haven’t tried their hands at the abandoned coffee machine again. When she returns, her PDA is not where she left it. In fact, it’s not on her desk at all.

Or: The series of events in which Gwen acquired another child, had a much needed conversation with Jack, bought a moped, defeated a Dalek with a boxing glove, and learned that loving yourself and saving the world don’t need to be mutually exclusive. A coda to Revolution of the Daleks where I explain why Gwen has a son all of a sudden.

sink your feet into the mud (and I'll return) by violetmessages ( Gwen&Ianto | Complete | 3404 | G )

What if she could bring Ianto back? It’s a dangerous idea. It’s got the potential to be catastrophic. But Gwen is all out of options. She’s surrounded by the graves of the people she loves, abandoned, save for her husband, and she refuses to let her best friend go without a fight.

old refrain by annavale23 ( Gwen&Ianto | Complete | 3248 | T )

My Only Sin Is I Can't Win by UniverseOnHerShoulders (Gwen&Jack&Ianto | Complete | 2921 | T )

carte blanche

Summary: MI6 Agent Ianto Jones is living the life - explosions, fast cars, pricey suits, and pretty men and women. He has everything a young boy who idolized James Bond could want, until he meets Jack Harkness. Harkness is a handsome man-for-hire with dubious morality who keeps Ianto on his toes, and oddly enough, Ianto thinks he’s beginning to like it.

Summary: Then, finally, he could feel it. He could feel her, the missing piece that he had been feeling his entire life as Ianto Jones, his TARDIS back in his mind, as it should be. He reached out, almost pathetically, and his Gwen reached back, clasping their minds together, and she pulled him out of the memories.

toshiko sato 001: AMORU

*spoiler warning for audio drama: cascade. **tw: sibling death. ***faceclaim: shono hayama

COMPUTER VIRUS: i’m in your head. i have access to your internal memory. your emotional responses can be easily manipulated. for instance, your reaction to maximillian elliott ford was not unbiased. TOSHIKO: don’t be ridiculous. VIRUS: he committed a crime, yet you forgave him for it. VIRUS, THROUGH MAX: you forgave me because i remind you of your brother, isn’t that true ? TOSHIKO: you leave my family out of this. VIRUS, THROUGH MAX: (glitching, his voice now different and resembling a younger boy) why didn’t you save - you save - you save - you save me, toshiko ? you said you’d save me. TOSHIKO: (now on the verge of tears) i know that’s not him !

source: torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor - audio drama

TOSHIKO SATO HAD A YOUNGER BROTHER. this is canon, but mentioned only once and in passing, in the cascade audio drama. nothing is known about him save that the virus, and by proxy, toshiko, blames tosh for his death.

AMORU SATO was born in 1986 in osaka, japan. toshiko was nine years old at the time, and her family was preparing to move back to london, england, which they did less than two months after his birth. amoru, like toshiko, has a dual citizenship -- japanese and english.

GROWING UP, toshiko and amoru were close -- though tosh was used often as a built-in babysitter for her brother. she was a young teenager by the time he was four, and her parents, both employed by the RAF, were frequently busy. toshiko went through the usual teenage angst of resenting her younger brother, and often felt as though her parents’ attention were being stolen from her by him. when she found she could gain further attention and praise through her academic achievements, as well as finding friends and activities that did not involve her brother, she threw herself into them, excelling at all levels.

BY SIXTEEN, toshiko had found her place in academia and among her peers, and found herself growing out of the childish resentment for her brother, then seven. amoru was also brilliant, but less academically inclined. he looked up to and adored toshiko, though they weren’t without their disagreements. toshiko was recruited by the lodmoor research facility (and by proxy, the british ministry of defense ) at 20, and for the first few years, made a large effort to remain close to her brother and parents. as she began to become more and more involved with her job, she saw them less and less.

AMORU REFUSED TO ACCEPT THIS, and called her out on it consistently. he was a teenager and his older sister had always been his best support, and he was afraid of losing her. for a while, it worked better, and she made more time for him. they had regular thursday morning coffee dates every week -- until she slowly slipped back into her work again. she began missing their regular meetups, missed his sports games and his high school graduation. after that, he slowly made less and less effort to reach out.

TWO MONTHS HAD PASSED since toshiko had even spoken to eighteen-year-old amoru when she got the news: he’d been hit by a car after failing to check a street he was passing, and was killed instantly. upon going into a numb shock at the news, toshiko found herself staring at a tiny desk calendar. it was a thursday. amoru had been struck and killed at 6:48am. had she kept up with him, he would have been safe in a coffee shop with her instead of in that street across town.

TOSHIKO BLAMED HERSELF for the distance, for his death, for losing him, for neglecting her family. rather than growing closer to her parents as a result, however, she buried the guilt in more work, becoming a recluse and a shut-in, focused only on her career. this is what opened her up and made her vulnerable to exploitation and blackmail that threatened her mother’s life and led to her creation of a working prototype of a previously failed sonic modulator, her arrest by UNIT, and her subsequent rescue and recruitment to torchwood by jack harkness.

28/01/23-Blog 3 of 3: RSPB Radipole Lake and Lodmoor-The plants and landscape

It was captivating to see gorgeous winter heliotrope at Radipole Lake and Lodmoor today seeing loads at the latter, their splendid flowers and distinctive and fine leaves I took the third picture in this photoset of the one I saw at Radipole. What a season I’ve had for them with the ones at Lakeside, these and some by South Moor on the way there two weeks ago. I brought my macro lens today too in case at the coast some early spring flowers might be out and at Lodmoor we did see some beautiful violets with their pretty dark purple flowers and nice leaves I took the ninth picture in this photoset of one. Today I also saw; many pretty cleavers and ivy at both, daffodil shoots at Radipole and periwinkle I believe, daisy and stinking iris fruit at Lodmoor the latter shown in the tenth picture I took today in this photoset.

At both of these beautiful urban reserves it was great to take in top reedbed views on a moody day with the distant hills, fields and town blended in nicely. Alder trees, pine and others looked great as well. I took the first two, fourth showing nice reedbed reflections, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth pictures in this photoset of views here today. I enjoyed seeing the familiar Weymouth our family holiday favourite location in my childhood as we went between the reserves and the famous white horse on the way home with the Stour seen well on the way and on the way home in darkness. It was good to speak to a fair few great people and see a few lovely dogs today. Another amazing wild winter Saturday. My last two posts are about the birds seen out today and my Big Garden Birdwatch at home this morning. https://dansnaturepictures.tumblr.com/post/707725418729553920/280123-blog-1-of-3-big-garden-birdwatch-the and  https://dansnaturepictures.tumblr.com/post/707727554361065472/280123-blog-2-of-3-rspb-radipole-lake-and

On the islands, there were about 12 Common Snipe along with some common waterfowl.

As I walked down the western edge I was surprised to find a Black swan, This bird is native to Australia, so all birds encountered in the UK are escapes from bird collections.

Lodmoor Morning

Picture of the Week: Lodmoor Morning

We have two RSPB nature reserves here in Weymouth. One, Radipole, is right in the heart of the town with the River Wey running through it. The other, Lodmoor, is at one edge, separating Preston and Melcome Regis and consisting of wetlands and reed beds. This is a lovely place at any time of day, any time of year, but I find it especially beautiful early in the morning when the sun is low in the…

Please abide by individual warnings and additional tagging on each fic. Happy reading!

Missing Home by Xennie_B (Gen | complete | 1529 | Gen/All Ages)

Tosh is sick and missing her mum and home where she would normally be taken care of. Instead she's stuck in bed alone to take care of herself, or so she thought until the others come to visit.

you'll fit so nicely, you'll keep me intact by thirteeninafez (LoisTosh, JackIanto, GwenRhys | complete | 18795 | T)

The woman walked away with one last brilliant, world-stopping smile, and Tosh let out a long sigh. She looked down at the name and number scribbled onto the paper. The thing was, in that one moment, Tosh could see herself falling entirely in love with the glowing, wonderful Lois.

Or, the one where Tosh not only lives past Exit Wounds, but flourishes.

shielded by Clare_Hope (Jack&Tosh | complete | 1464 | T)

Jack gets killed protecting Tosh from a very angry alien. Tosh is less than happy about this situation.

Work Friends by Clare_Hope (Ianto&Tosh | WIP | 3431 | T)

After everything that happened with Mary, Ianto is the only one who doesn't seem uncomfortable around Toshiko. She can't read his mind anymore, but pretty sure she knows what he's thinking: We've both seen someone we thought loved us killed by Jack. I understand. I might be the only one who understands.

Ghost of New Year's Past by Clare_Hope (Jack&Tosh | complete | 2346 | T)

Tosh picks up the ghost machine in the Hub and is shown what happened there on New Year's Eve, 1999.

Cherries by NancyBrown (Martha&Tosh | complete | 938 | G)

Tosh and Martha have a talk.

Love into the Light by Paycheckgurl (GwenTosh, Others | complete | 12805 | T)

If Gwen’s being honest, the person on her team she wants, loves or could love at any rate, is Tosh. Smart and beautiful Toshiko. Tosh, who could be cold and calculating but is sweet and caring. Tosh, who saves the world in her quiet way. But Gwen is rarely honest with herself and locks it deep inside.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

Tosh whirled around. She’d thought she was alone, she’d expected it.

Then she locked eyes with the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen, a woman who seemed to radiate an ethereal glow, a woman that emanated an otherworldly light.

In which Tosh and Owen have a conversation but neither them say what they mean.

Unmade Plans by UniverseOnHerShoulders (Ianto&Tosh, JackIanto, OwenTosh | complete | 2765 | T)

There are a lot of problems that come with working for a secret organisation that fights aliens, but the fact that extraterrestrial life tends not to respect ordinary working hours is definitely in Toshiko's top ten. Finding herself unexpectedly alone on Valentine's Day after an imminent incursion of... something or other, she's pleased to find that Ianto is in the same boat.

Jack's left, Gwen and Ianto are getting chummy, and it's apparently fallen to Owen to hang out with Tosh.

Or: it's raining, and Tosh and Owen grab dinner at a pub.

The End is Where We Start From by aliciajazmin (JackIanto, Gwen&Tosh, Ianto&Tosh, Jack&Tosh | complete | 2451 | T)

Thanks to the use of nanogenes, Toshiko Sato survives Gray's attack. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Owen Harper. So what happens next?

If we're together by aliciajazmin (GwenTosh | complete | 422 | T)

It's Queen Toshiko's birthday, and she's looking for a certain someone.

I pretend you're mine (all the damn time) by aliciajazmin (JohnTosh | complete | 2824 | T)

Tosh wants to get back at Jack for pranking her, and John agrees to help.

I'll let you in (and baby that's when) by aliciajazmin (JohnTosh, GwenTosh | complete | 2306 | T)

Goddess Toshiko finally has a soulmate, a reckless human that will spend more than half his life not even knowing that he has one

Another Year by Beleriandings (MarthaTosh | Series | 23307 | Various Ratings)

Tosh had thought that when the Rift had closed again after Bilis and Abaddon, after Jack had come back to life and given them all his forgiveness, that things would return to normal. Or at least normal by Torchwood standards.

It’s only when she meets Martha Jones and the Doctor, and finds herself swept off to the far future, that she starts to realise that the end of the world is only just beginning.

Exit Protocol by Beleriandings (GwenTosh | complete | 6139 | G)

Not long after the deaths of Tosh and Owen, Gwen gets a message from an unnamed user on the Hub system. That really shouldn't happen.

And yet, there it is.

Talking It Out by Rivulet027 (JackIanto, OwenTosh, MaryTosh | complete | 1014 | T)

Post Mary. Ianto pushes Jack to talk to Tosh.

The Turing test is a determinant of consciousness and personhood. It’s also a test Tosh finds herself having to pass multiple times throughout her life.

After the Cardiff bombings, Torchwood Three and Martha take a vacation to the alien world of Venetian III where Martha might have to face her growing crush on one Toshiko Sato.

the only hoax i believe in by princessoftheworlds (Gen | complete | 3676 | T)

How Torchwood failed Suzie Costello, Lisa Hallett, and Toshiko Sato and how Torchwood didn't.

hands off by princessoftheworlds (Jack&Tosh, Owen&Tosh, Ianto&Tosh | complete | 647 | G)

The first time it happens, it’s an honest mistake on Jack’s part.

Tosh has just finished retrofitting her new PDA after the last one was destroyed wading through the Cardiff sewers for Weevils. She’s added a Rift energy detector and direct access to the Mainframe and sets the PDA smackdab in the center of her desk when she wanders away in search of a cup of coffee, hoping Suzie or Owen haven’t tried their hands at the abandoned coffee machine again.

When she returns, her PDA is not where she left it. In fact, it’s not on her desk at all.

A New Home by princessoftheworlds (Jack&Tosh | complete | 375 | G)

After Estelle's death, Jack finds himself in custody of Moses, her cat.

The Easiest Thing in the World by DinoDina (MarthaTosh | complete | 899 | G)

Martha doesn't come to Torchwood often, but it's enough for Tosh to fall in love with her.

Still Running (Stop) by DinoDina (Ianto&Tosh | complete | 1548 | T)

They lose Gwen and Owen in France. From there, Tosh and Ianto brave the breaking world alone.

All’s fair in love and war,” Owen replied, laughing.

“And which is this?” Tosh asked.

“You shouldn't be alone tonight."

Tosh looked up at Ianto in that way she did, long-since dry eyes wide and lips pursed.

“Come home with me,” Ianto said, trying for softer and more understanding.

Or, Broken, if Ianto invited Tosh over to grieve together.

Tosh died in 2009, and for over three thousand years, she stayed dead. Meanwhile, having recently returned from the 21st century, John received a strange message. On a journey to bring a dead woman back to life, they encounter cultures both old and new, aliens both adorable and malicious, and a lot of people who really want to punch John in the face
