"You wear suits and don't think I don't know why? You don't need a suit to make coffee!"

Jack, in 'Broken' implying that he knows Ianto only wears the suits because Jack is into them. And Ianto agrees.

Except... 'Blind Summit'' suggests that Ianto was indoctrinated and retconned repeatedly, and didn't understand where his fondness of suits came from. Tortured to the point he didn't understand why he was so good at making coffee. Because Torchwood One were molding him. Into the perfect, loyal, obedient operative.

And that just kills me.

We never knew the real Ianto. And neither did he.

not now jack

Decades after he had left it, Jack Harkness slipped through time and found himself once more back in 1941 where he encountered the REAL Captain Jack Harkness whose identity “Jack Harkness” had stolen after the real Jack Harkness’ death in World War 2. ("Captain Jack Harkness", Torchwood, TV)

2.06: Reset.

poly-truthing the torchwood 3 team + rhys and martha

something about characters who are not necessarily doomed by the narrative but definitely doomed by their jobs

listen to me. donna noble would fit so much better with torchwood. torchwood three. think abt it. imagine her with them. imagine her and jack. the banter. imagine her with ianto THE GOSSIP!!! putting owen in his place her new skinny guy. she would give tosh the world. she and gwen would butt heads but then be besties. please. see the vision

People who say The Avengers: Infinity Wars/End Game was the most epic crossover ever attempted has clearly never watched Doctor Who: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.

some funny sketches and ✨janto✨

not enough people are torchwood fans in 2023. like, if this shit was airing now instead of like sixteen years ago then tumblr gays would be eating this shit up. if the big finish stuff was more easily available, people would probably also be eating it up. janto and jyler would be a ship war (a heavily to one side ship war, but a ship war nonetheless). the colchester-price fans would be happily eating popcorn at the side. everyone would be an orr and tosh fan. gwen and yvonne would be tumblr sexywomen. there'd be people picking out everything burn gorman has ever been in. there would be essays about why ng should/shouldn't be hated. andy davidson would still be lurking in the background. myfanwy would have more canon appearances.

It's so cool that the entire Torchwood staff is poly and in love with each other and are simultaneously cheating on everyone in the polycule with the rest of the polycule and sometimes strangers.

100% believe this is what they got up to in the Hub when the rift was slow

sorry guys

never getting over the Torchwood polycule. never getting over the ninejackrose polycule. whoniverse polycules are just too good

Perfect date ideas

shoutout to @seenonacid for hunting down those two miracle day screencaps for me <3
