I say this as a certified gwen cooper stan and defender and lover etc etc so if i see anyone in my replies coming for my girl its on sight. But it is honestly completely batshit insane to me the way seasons 1 and 2 of torchwood consistently do this thing where on-screen development or depiction of Jack and Ianto’s romantic relationship is directly preceded by a category five Gwen and Jack Unresolved Sexual Tension event. Like, Jack propositioning Ianto over Suzie’s corpse comes right after a scene where Jack and Gwen make moon eyes at each other from across the Hub; in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Jack only asks Ianto out on a date after a failed attempt to woo Gwen; in Reset, Martha’s conversation with Ianto about getting him and Jack a red UNIT hat comes after her convo with Gwen where both of them are like “man we must be the only two people in the world who havent been with Jack.” The obviously most insane example is in Something Borrowed when Gwen and Jack dance together extremely intimately AT GWEN’S WEDDING and Ianto literally has to WALK OVER to take Jack off Gwen’s hands. (If I missed any more examples please tell me because i feel like I did. Also Fwiw not every Janto scene follows a Gwack UST event, though by the same turn not every Gwack UST event is followed by a Janto scene. But I think there’s enough here for it to be a pattern.). So there’s this consistent thing where we see Jack make moon eyes at Gwen and only going to Ianto after this fails to result in anything substantial. This creates the impression that Ianto is Jack’s second choice for a partner, and that Gwen is his first.

You could argue that this pattern constitutes Jack choosing Ianto over Gwen, but… I dunno. The obstacle that consistently stops Jack from pursuing Gwen further in the scenes I’m talking about is not his commitment to Ianto but Gwen’s commitment to Rhys. (If you want an example of TW S1/2 actually showing Jack choose Ianto over Gwen I’d point at End of Days: Gwen metaphorically awakens Jack by kissing his corpse (he doesn’t seem to object but Gwen is obviously the one initiating), and then Jack immediately runs off to make out with Ianto. Compare with, say, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, where Jack tries to initiate with Gwen, gets cock-blocked by her engagement ring, and subsequently asks Ianto out. You see the difference?

To set my cards on the table I am obsessed with Jack and Gwen’s straightbait situationship, and I think it is completely fine and cool and entertaining, actually, for Jack and Gwen UST to coexist with canon Janto (Jack is from the Free Love century and has two hands; meanwhile it baffles me that people get on Gwen’s ass for the crime of (checks notes) being into Jack Fucking Harkness, as if being attracted to him is not completely normal and understandable), HOWEVER the show’s scene to scene editing CONSISTENTLY gives the impression that Jack would choose Gwen over Ianto if given the opportunity. So for all that I think a lot of Gwen hate is like, people being unfairly mad at Gwen for “getting in the way” of a gay ship that, per the show’s writing, she never actively interferes with or disapproves of and is generally shown to support, the way the show uses the language of editing does actually kind of value Jack’s hypothetical straight relationship with Gwen over his existing gay relationship with Ianto in a way that frankly fucking sucks. I have no idea whether or not this was intentional or whose fault it is (if I had to blame anyone I’d blame the writers involved and the editors involved, but tv production is complicated and this is a systemic problem that would be difficult to identify if you’re only looking at one episode at a time) but whatever happened its like. A lowkey homophobic element of an otherwise mostly queer-friendly show. Literally what were they thinking.

how do i know if i'm ready to take in a glat(glenncat)¡?!?!

great question!

so, the truth is, it really depends what kind of glat you're thinking of adopting... there are many different breeds, but I'll be specifically addressing three in this post: Dennis cats, Jack cats, and cliff cats. Now, all three need preparation, and while some may appear 'easier' than others, there are associated difficulties with each one that you have to be ready to deal with.

Let's start with Jack cats- these are arguably the easiest to take care of, because they're pretty self-sufficient in many ways. They'll groom themselves well (as will all glats, but with Jack cats you won't have the problem of over-grooming which sometimes accompanies other breeds), and will remind you when they're hungry. They enjoy being petted.

They can grow agitated at intervals, and during these intervals you should be prepared to stay away from the Jack cat for a while. Thankfully, they exhibit typical warning signs before entering one of these rage states (ears flat, tail puffed, etc).

Before adopting a Jack cat, you should make sure you have an adequate bed (though they will adapt to sleeping anywhere, really), some intellectually stimulating toys, and a copy of Republic by Plato to read at him if he starts to get agitated and you feel there is time to calm him down.

Moving on to Cliff kittens- these little guys are slightly higher maintenance than Jack cats, not because of their rage (Cliff kittens are demure compared to their brethren) but because of their delicacies. They are prone to getting sick often, are frequent over-groomers, and are sometimes afraid of their own shadow. They like to act big and brave, marching around the house like panthers, but when it comes down to it they will be knocked down by a particularly strong gust of wind. Literally. Don't let them outside without a weighted harness. Their diets are also pretty restricted because of a whole host of allergies and food preferences.

Aside from these traits, though, Cliff kittens have wonderful temperaments. They're lapcats at heart and are incredibly loyal- during thunderstorms, they'll seek you out to sit with you not just for their own safety but also for yours.

Before adopting a Cliff kitten, make sure you buy special food, a good collar with a bell (he's small so you'll need to know when he's coming round the corner to avoid tripping over him), and a bunch of soft toys. A nice big fluffy bed is also preferable, so he can snuggle into it during his frequent bouts of illness. Oh, and on that note, get every cat medication you can find. He might not have that specific ailment now, but he almost certainly will at some point.

Finally... Dennis cats. These are the most high maintenance of all glats, and are usually only taken on by owners with prior glat experience. It's recommended that you pick up a Jack cat first if you're interested in Dennis cats, because a lot of their traits are fairly similar, but those of Dennis cats tend to be exaggerated tenfold.

Dennis cats often (and unfortunately) come from less than ideal environments. They aren't the most trusting, and they scratch. A. Lot. It's important to remember that this isn't them being intentionally cruel, it's a defence mechanism brought about by fear- and patience is the only thing to conquer that fear. Progress with Dennis cats will be sluggish, especially at first, but in the end, it's incredibly rewarding to see a Dennis cat come out of his shell. When he sits on your lap for the first time, that's how you know that you're really getting somewhere.

Before getting a Dennis cat, make sure you get some gloves (for yourself, to prevent damage from scratches), toys, and a whole load of self confidence.

Hope this helps, and let me know how you get on in your glat adoption process!! :)

Jack is a little timid but he’s a nice kitty. Not even the most skittish kitty that lived here
