In no particular order, mostly (but not entirely) Ianto centric, some about the show itself and some about fanfic, some thoughts. Please feel free to discuss:

1. Ianto is not shy


2. Ianto is young but he is not a child or a boy


3. Coleslaw = Vegetables. Ianto really is very young. Seriously, who would equate ordering cole slaw (with pizza no less) as adding to the veggie content of their diet? Not to mention, what kind of pizza place even sells cole slaw?


4. Has anyone ever actually called Ianto ‘Yan’?


5. I like Martha but I don’t want her to take Owen’s place. She’s too smooth and posh. I liked rough around the edges not quite ready for society Owen. Also, I can’t picture Martha hanging out the window of the SUV shooting at a blowfish.


6. And speaking of blowfish, how is it that the blowfish is not in any known database (KKBB) when it was clearly known to Victorian Torchwood?


7. In fics, why so many Hob Nobs? And ice cream? We see Rhys having ice cream at the end of Meat but other than that I don’t recall them going for ice cream. And why are they always eating Hob Nobs in fanfic? Have we ever actually seen any of them eat Hob Nobs? There’s nothing wrong with Hob Nobs, I eat them all the time. But why are they so ubiquitous in fanfic?


8. Jack didn’t know he couldn’t die when he woke up on the Game Station but the doctor did when he left him. That somehow makes it all that much worse. If you’re a Torchwood fan and never seen the scene between Ten and Jack in Utopia where Jack asks him about being left behind and what happened and why can’t he die, then you’re missing a treat. David Tennant and John Barrowman are perfect in that scene.


9. Ianto is neither anorexic nor fat.


10. There has never been anything to indicate that Ianto is just a sex toy.


11. Ianto is not ashamed. OMG, fics that have Ianto as ashamed in some way of his sexuality or his intelligence or his skills drive me batty.


12. What is it with the begging and the blackmail in this fandom? Comment or I won’t write any more? Give me a break.


13. Someone once wrote in a fic (sorry, can’t recall who or what fic) that everyone has their phobias and that Ianto probably doesn’t like open flame, given Canary Wharf. That was very insightful and it made me realize that since we had a fire in our house at 4am a year and a half ago there has not been so much as a lit candle in my house. Even the fake fire on Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney World freaks me out.


14. I bet Jack uses a straight razor.


15. I love seeing Ianto drinking whiskey in Jack’s office.


16. I’m going to adopt Ianto’s napkin tucked in the collar look soon if I don’t stop dripping things on myself. I don’t care that it will not look adorkable on me, just stupid.

Authors Note: I wrote this one a while ago and wasn't sure if I wanted to post it or not. It's a long time since I wrote prose fic (though this is very short, less than 400 words.) I've alway wished we'd seen what happened immediately after the last scene in the basement. Ianto was clearly in no shape to care for himself so who did? Maybe one of these days I'll indulge myself and write one where no one did but not today. Thanks very much to joesther for the beta.

I still feel as though I'm not 100% coherent on this one. I may have to visit it again in a few weeks. In the meantime here's my immediate reaction with lots of screen caps.

( Spoilers for 213, Exit Wounds )

I made this on Cafe Press. I couldn't decide between black (which I thought looked better) and red, which is Ianto's color.

After last weeks ep I gave up on not watching ahead.

joesther asked me to post my impressions of this one. I haven't written en episode review/recap whatever in years but here goes. If you don't watch Torchwood, feel free to read it, maybe I'll convert you. Just in case you do decide to read even though you've never watched it, here's who's who:


Left to right: Ianto, Gwen, Jack, Tosh, Owen

Lots of pictures behind the cut.
