sorry sorry sorry i'm just thinking about torchwood-era jack during boom town.

imagine there's this guy that you're in love with, and for the first time in 150 years you know exactly where he is. imagine there's also this girl you're in love with, and you know that if you don't see her right now, you might never see her again. when you last saw them, you sort of hoped that you would, that maybe you'd pick back up exactly where you last spoke. but surely if they wanted to find you, they would have by now, right?

so there's this guy and this girl, and you're absolutely fucked, because there's nothing you want to do more than run up to them and hug them. grab the guy by the shoulders and snog him senseless, and then maybe knock him on his ass. you want to grab him and beg him to help you, because you've been pegging all your hopes on this one guy, thinking maybe he can save you. but if he can, he probably can't just yet, because the thing that fucked you up hasn't even happened, and even if he could fix you, you can't cross paths with that timeline because that might cause the universe to end or something – you never know with these things.

and what you really really want to do (because by now, you're used to the dying, used to the living, used to the useless longing) is to ask them why the hell they left you behind. you want to think it was an accident – because like i said, if it were deliberate, they would have come for you – but that doesn't stop you from being scared that it wasn't. and even if it was, would you even fit with them anymore, these people who you love so fiercely? you're older now, with new loves and new metaphorical scars. you're terrified that these past versions of the people you adore would look at you like a monster. so you can't possibly go to them, and you can't possibly ask the question. they wouldn't know the answer anyway.

and anyway, it's all academic, because alien-catching is hard enough without the impending end of the universe to take into consideration.

so there's this guy that you're in love with, and for the first time in 150 years you know exactly where he is. there's nothing you can do about it except hope it doesn't take another 150 for him to come round again. it's one of the worst days you've had in a while.

keep trying to find a torchwood discord server or some place to befriend other torchwood fans but have been pretty unsuccessful, so i'm thinking about making one myself! if you're someone who's into torchwood and would be interested in that lmk so i can see how many people might be up for a torchwood server :) edit: okay, i'm making the server now! if u want to help mod or smthn feel free to send a dm, and after it's set up i'll add the link either here or in a new post

as much as I love the torchwood fandom, it has a serious issue with its treatment of Gwen, specifically in fics. They make her out to be this homophobic, angry, manipulative person that doesn’t care about anyone there but herself. In the show she is nothing like that, she isn’t a perfect person, she’s made many mistakes but where on earth did people get the idea that she would hate ianto for being with jack.

I haven’t finished the series yet so if there are moments where she’s like that then feel free to tell me but I find that people just villanize her sm and then go and ignore all of the shitty stuff that Owen did. I must say, I hated when she was cheating on her boyfriend, that I can’t defend but people need to stop acting like she’d personally beat up people who work with her for not having the same values as her.

I suppose I'm carrying on my trend of Ianto centric posts, with TWM #1's The Legacy Of Torchwood One.

I remember when this came out. It was so cool seeing a little bit more of Ianto's Torchwood One past. With all of the Big Finish releases, it's all but been retconned out of canon, but it's still a good little piece.

Also interesting to note, the story seems to be set during season two but the layout of Jack's office and the walkways around the watertower are the season one layout.
