Last song listened to: To Repel Ghosts - Manic Street Preachers

got silly with this one ◡̈

[the-torchwood-magician]

HC:

Jack Harkness has ADHD and is dyslexic which is why he hates paperwork and struggles to complete it

Ianto knows this and helps him

At first all Jack said was he needed a second pair of eyes for his paperwork. Eventually he trusted Ianto enough to tell him the truth

Once they got together, they'd do it after the team left, Ianto sat on the Hub couch with Jack laying on the couch with his head in Ianto's lap. Ianto read the stuff and they discussed it before Ianto would fill in the documents. It was pretty efficient

[twingeof-cosmic-angst]

rest in peace Ianto Jones... you would've LOVED Ghost. If he heard their "I'm A Marionette" cover i think it would've changed his life. I also think "Life Eternal" would've FUCKEDD HIM UPPP.

[dailyclassicwho]

it’s really funny how in the first 3 episodes of torchwood jack and gwen heavily flirt and have really thick romantic tension but from episode 4 on it immediately pivots to jack/ianto and gwen/owen.

it’s like the writers decided it wasn’t working out and found new ships to explore.

[r3verse-the-polarity]

HCs for a TSJA & Torchwood crossover.

There are precious few fics about it which I find to be a bally shame™

It takes place over several months. This is its own series.

Starts with the tw team posing as teachers at Clyde, Rani and Luke's school for whatever reason...

Mr Smith is incredibly gracious and polite to Toshiko and Toshiko only. Compliments her in every conversation. It creates all sorts of ridiculous discourse about the Mr Smith/K9 relationship. But that's fine because K9 loves her too. Tbf I don't think Tosh is autistic, more of a undefined neurodivergent, but the way she would react to Mr Smith. All her dreams come true.

Owen and K9 are slagging everyone (and each other) off. Also at one point they have to pair up and Owen gets a pathetic "Why do I get the dog" moment.

Ianto and K9 needlessly formal hyper intelligent sarcastic side characters 🤝 The one liners that would come out of this. Also they bear shocking resemblance to C3PO from Star wars but also that's a cyberman which is a whole other conversation.

Gwen, Rani and Sarah Jane spend the whole time gossiping about anything and everything. Politics, boys, aliens. Rani has yet another Girlboss Mother. I also feel like Gwen and Gita would bicker.

Owen and Clyde bond as the supposedly-streetsmart-third-wheelers with absent fathers of the group and think everything is ridiculous apparently. Together. But there's definitely some sensitive conversations there too.

Ianto and Luke join forces and cause an autism black hole with the astronomical (physical) density of their combined autism. Ianto makes Luke laugh for the first time that isn't "Clyde has told me this is funny :DDD" and teaches him humour that makes sense in his mind. Ofc they both canonically have photographic memories as well so I bet they do competitions over it.

Sarah Jane absolutely dotes on Ianto and can't get enough of him. "Can we keep him?" (As though she doesn't make the decisions) Just finds him so charming and witty and because he gets on so well with Luke as well as being the youngest of the tw team she mothers him to all hell. He doesn't know how to react just is very polite.

Imo Jack/Ianto and Luke/Clyde is a very similar relationship dynamic and Clyde probably asks Jack for advice or smt.

When the team go to Ealing for whatever it is they need to investigate, Jack either sorts out with Sarah Jane for them to move into no. 10 Bannerman Road, god knows they have enough room, or they sort something else out. If they do the first, them all living together is something to get used to and Ianto constantly hides away from mealtimes and stuff because he needs time alone. It's either "My teachers secretly also know about aliens :0" or "My head teacher lives opposite me and is also my friend's dad, and now half my teachers live in my house."

Owen and Rani are very different so they end up never really talking to one another, but when they do it turns out they get on.

I know there aren't many Jack ones. Maybe I'll add some later. Also I'm going to make another post about the Torchwood team as teachers >:)

I would be absolutely honoured if someone took it upon themselves to write this oml

Day 23 - Discuss Tosh. Opinions? Favorite moment? Least favorite moment? Any unpopular opinions? Any fun headcanons?

tosh my babygirl my princess light of my life angel darling… shes so good. shes so good 🥺 i love her dearly. she’s so damn underutilized i hate how the show regulates her to a supporting role + only uses her for romantic plots. WACK shes so much more than that. i want a plotline about her cyberterrorism like hello??? i want a plotline about her warped little mind.. i want a plotline about her finally learning spanish ;-; that show did not do her justice and it did not deserve her. i often say torchwood’s characters are too good for the show; tosh is probs the best example of that. no other character gets screwed over as badly as she does by the narrative (not even ianto!) she’s so tragic and lonely i just wanna give her the biggest hug ever. 

fav moment… every time she smiles. (or smirks. hrgh. tosh call me.) also every time she geeks out about smth. im tryna think of a specific moment but idk if i have one?? i just love her overall i smile every time she’s on screen she’s my girlie. when i rewatch i might rmr one though

least favorite moment, the absolute only thing i can think of (hell, my only complaint with her as a character other than i wish she’d get over owen cuz bad taste queen pls u deserve sm better) - it’s always bothered me how she goes over to owen’s flat in aditd and just starts babbling about her own problems. she even says something like “you think everything’s about you”, and in that ep it’s like ??? why are they all acting like he’s unjustified being miserable and angry when he's fucking dead?? like they're all so unsympathetic and mean, even tosh, and out of her it's especially weird?? tbh it just strikes me as ooc (+ kind of misogynistic highkey) writing. i mean, by all means, let tosh bitch, she deserves to blow off some steam + esp deserves to be rude to owen tbh fhsdkjfsd, but the way it’s done in that particular moment feels ooc and, like, how men write women as talking too much and never listening lmao u kno what i mean (owen’s tuned out in the actual episode but you can see her full ramble in the original script, on page 23). tosh has never troubled anyone with her issues before, why would she choose now to, and when she knows owen’s struggling? yeah, on second thought, i don’t hold that against her actually, that’s ooc to me fhdkf. thts just the writer being a wiener.

my only unpopular opinions (slash hot takes) are that 1) towen fucking SUCKS get her away from him, and 2) most people like tosh but she’s highkey underappreciated, esp in fanfic, because of fandom racism + misogyny. she’s not bashed like gwen is but she’s ignored completely which is nearly as bad, and a lot of it’s cuz she happens to be in a show with two white men in a gay relationship who are overwhelmingly prioritized 💀 i will never not be petty about the way that ship dwarfs everything else in comparison. also throwing towen into the background of janto is so gross n cheap. if ppl cared abt her they'd do smth more interesting. and it's never well-done either. ugh.

i have a few hcs that are gonna end up in my owento verse (gwen and tosh are prominent characters in it bc i love them, and their relationships w owen and ianto and each other also have value lawl). tbh a lot of em are just things i think they should introduce into their lives to be happier. i want them happy ;-;

she starts coding video games recreationally!! nothing fancy but she rlly enjoys it + also gets into the swing of making little storylines n getting to express herself that way which is good for her. owen playtests shit for her

her and gwen go on spa dates sometimes. they put it on the torchwood credit card

she gets into fish tanks and fish tank care!!! esp like aquarium plants. shrimp and moss balls, that sort of thing. maybe plecos or loaches. she loves it + it’s grounding, which is good for her bc shes otherwise always got her head in her computers yanno. she’ll sit by her tank while she codes her games and the water sounds are calming. 

she also sits by it while she studies her spanish books which she does finally do. she doesn’t get around to the piano, though; doesn’t prioritize buying a keyboard. maybe one day (this is a nobody dies au btw so she will in fact eventually get around to it ;-;)

oh she’s autistic have i said that. the fish tanks absolutely become a spin. she has a few we know of from canon - math and computers, obviously, but also history (gbg) and the uk’s rivers (from gooseberry; i think it was just the uk maybe it was europe’s rivers. or the world’s! i don’t remember). she also loves trivia like she knows a fair amount about quite a lot of things + loves accumulating random info

lowkey also. giving her a kitty. i think tosh should have a lil fuzzy kitty to keep her company 

well this is smth from my owandy verse but i think it should happen anyway. so it kind of kicks off bc gwen mixes up a blind date (it was gonna be tosh & andy and then owen & a friend of hers, but shes an adhd icon n bungles the invites <3)... tosh ends up with gwen’s friend, who’s straight, but they hit it off and she invites tosh to have drinks or maybe come to a bookclub meet or something with some friends of hers?? point is, tosh makes some casual friends. maybe meets a pretty girl there or smth 👁️ but mainly i want tosh to have girl friends like i think she grew up very lonely i want her to have some normalcy

also sometimes i like tosh x andy maybe they have a little meet cute at a torchwood crime scene or smth fshdkfd. i think they’d be cute and he’d treat her well. she'd babble abt tech stuff and he wouldnt understand a damn word but he'd listen very intently

i also like tosh x ianto for similar reasons. i think it’d be a kind of friends to lovers sitch... they should just be close in general tbh, platonically or not yanno, and in my owandy verse i like the idea of smth kicking off between them i just think theyd be so sweet

she’s a very sleepy drunk and also a lightweight. if the team goes out to drink she’ll get two glasses of smth moderately fruity and then fall asleep against someone’s shoulder it’s very cute (this is just cuz i like the idea of a sleepy tosh 🥺 my baby my baby shes so precious to meee)

[javic-piotr-thane]

oh that is very interesting with the books swaying you into gwen negativity and their mischaracterisation! i have read - many years ago! - border princes, i think, but i have absolutely no recollection of any plot. unfortunately reading fiction is beyond my energy capabilities (which is partly why im so grateful for big finish! i can listen to the plays) so it will be a while before i can get to them (if ever) but i definitely don’t feel like i am missing out on too much now haha. im aware theres some disconnect between being able to read fic but not fiction but it’s complicated lol.

i think your decision to make fandom a better place for yourself by enjoying the positives of gwen’s character more than any negatives to be a really good way to go. i am a big supporter of trying to make fandom into a positive place for yourself & not something that causes you frustration and upset - which is perhaps partly why i tend to only linger on the outskirts.

this isn’t a slight at all and im not saying this is what you do (because i dont think it is), and please don’t take any offense, but for me i do find i enjoy seeing and recognising flawed characters and while not focusing completely on the negatives, still sometimes leaning in to them if they contrast with how i think it should have gone. (okay i read that back and im not sure i made sense. basically: i like embracing the negatives where often others try to ignore them if they contradict w their hc) and it’s not just gwen here either, sometimes tosh, & often owen. also jack & lesser so ianto but that’s mostly bc i have a soft spot for him haha. i think for me being able to be like ‘ok i like this character and its sometimes because they do some stuff that makes me frustrated/annoyed’ gives me more enjoyment than trying to either explain away or rationalise (or perhaps ignore) the negative issues i have.

i think i did it a lot in the glee fandom, where i was able to see good in ‘bad’ characters and also bad in the ones who were portrayed as goodness incarnate (ok im exaggerating haha but the thought is there) & it opened up a lot more of the fandom to me? which, as someone who adores fanworks is absolutely wonderful.

!!!!! i'm not offended, i see how my words could be misunderstood! of course i embrace characters' flaws, what i meant here specifically was sinking into a certain bitterness that goes far beyond what Gwen's flaws are or aren't; making her not so much a terrible person as a terrible symptom of a flawed society that scoffs at nerds and insecure people and adores everyone with confidence, no matter how much they fuck up or now rude or otherwise not-great they are.

that type of shit.

i was afraid to slip back into that kind of rhetoric, that kind of thinking. that's what i meant to stop in its tracks! i've not taken down my old discussion posts on the topic, but i am so not doing that ever again.

.. *deep breath*

as for another thing you mentioned, minor but - Border Princes my beloved!!!!! that's my second-favorite of all the TW novels, and that's a really close choice!! i love it so much, it's sad that you read that of all books and forgot :'D but ah well.

[oh and the irony of you saying you don't have the strength to read fiction but love the audios doesn't escape me, as i fucking love reading (fiction or nonfiction) and i really need strength/focus for audio :''D you're the lucky one in this scenario though bc just in case i hadn't said this clearly enough before: the TW audios are by and large superior to the novels XD so there's that on that]

[....though waiiit.... weren't the first three books made into audiobooks?? i never cared about that but... i'm not saying look that up but maybe look that up 👀👀]

[the-torchwood-magician]

Any trans Ianto headcanons for trans day of visibility?

<Torchwood: Coffee> by James Goss

Kathy: Oh... His name is Jack. Oh, I see.

Ianto: What?

Kathy: Sometimes you like to play naked hide-and-seek together and Oh... You lose deliberately.

Ianto: There we have it.

Kathy: And every day you put a sandwich in his coat in case he gets hungry. That's really sweet.❤️

[lesbiten]

no but like when will people understand theres a difference between headcanoning a character with no canon sexuality & projecting onto them and erasing a character’s canon sexuality
