Celebratory cat!Ianto drawing for Ianto Jones birthday!!!!!

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.

Jack: Here's some advice,

Tosh: I didn't ask for any.

Jack: Too bad. I'm stuck here with my thoughts and you're the only one who talks to me.

Work,,,but it's just the reaction images I have saved,,

-

Me when my coworkers leave me to do dishes while they deal with customers

Me when I manage to catch something before it falls on the floor

Me trying to read the micro-font on the cheat sheets

Me when I do something wrong and end up having to waste the sandwich and start over

Me as soon as I go in the back after an annoying customer

Me when my favorite coworker is there

Me when I spill sauce everywhere

Me after making no mistakes and filling in order in a timely manor

Me when my manager sends me on a side quest

Me after making 5 of the exact same thing

WIP Wednesday

Hey, it is almost Wednesday so 🤷‍♂️ This is from that Janto fic that has swept me away -- a fic that is all angst if you believe but it is still them, so there you go.

The kitchen is no better.

His eye catches on the trash bin, and he can practically hear Ianto chiding him for throwing a dog bone in there, some three years ago.

“We throw chicken bones in all the time, don't we?” Jack asks, a bit annoyed himself that all Ianto sees in his clear attempts to be tidier around the house are more mistakes. “What's the difference?”

“Well, it's not a chicken, is it? That used to be someone's dog, Jack.”

Jack crosses his arms at his chest.

“And remind me again, whose cat is it that ate poor Mr Fluffy?”

Ianto meets his gaze head on.

“It was a misunderstanding – and Abby is very sorry.”

Abby, who has been licking their paws with two sharp forked tongues, nonplussed as you please, pauses now to glance at Jack before continuing with their post-meal shower. The feeling he gets from them can at best be described as a shrug and a half hearted whoops!

They did save Ianto’s life, Jack reminds himself. And they can be adorable – when they aren't going around eating their neighbours’ dogs.

“So what do you want to do with that femur – if I can't throw it in the bin?”

“We will bury it,” Ianto replies solemnly, ever the man of action, already striding towards the backyard to set up a canine funeral.
