how it feels updating your profile to fit a new hyperfixation a week after saying you wouldn't get hyperfixated on it

You wouldn't download a traffic cone to watch your little gay men...

Would you?

much in like the way a single dorito could kill a medieval peasant, a single episode of torchwood (2006) could kill a tiktok teen

#torchwood #just watched a video essay about commodification of representation particularly bisexuality #and just got reminded of how fucking good torchwood is in this area.#watch torchwood. i will not ask again.#doctor who

still making my way through rtd's non-doctor-who work. currently at mine all mine which is from 2004. one character says to another character "you should meet ianto." i (not welsh) (never been to wales) (only know like one welsh person) am like "oh ha ha like ianto from torchwood?" and then immediately shut that down like "ianto is probably a very common welsh name, the fact that my mind immediately goes to ianto from torchwood is just a sign of my ignorance/lack of interaction with welsh people." character shows up to meet ianto.

[image description: a screenshot from the tv show mine all mine. it depicts two young men standing next to each other in a club. one of them is played by gareth-david lloyd. end image description.]

it's ianto from torchwood.

#i told multiple people about this on discord but i'm still having the moment about it so i think tumblr needs to know too #torchwood #russell t davies #mine all mine #he's credited as 'yanto jones' by the way #i know rtd recycles names a lot (there are a LOT of tylers across these shows too) but this feels excessive

ianto jones is not an uwu baby. ianto jones shot his coworker. ianto jones wrestled a pterodactyl in order to land a job with a top secret organization. ianto jones kept a killer robot and her conversion machine in the basement for MONTHS bc she was his girlfriend. then he fucked the guy that killed her after telling the guy he was excited to watch him die.

ianto jones is the ultimate example of 'beware the quiet/sweet ones' he will remember how you like your coffee and then two hours later try to cave your head in for something he may or may not be in the wrong about

#torchwood #titi talks #ianto jones #i feel very strongly about this. he is not an anxious man. he is a SCHEMER that is why he is quiet

I can’t believe Jack harkness in doctor who is a gateway to my favourite bisexual guy ianto Jones in Torchwood

#my art #torchwood #captain jack harkness #Jack harkness #ianto jones #janto #think that’s the ship name #anyways it took me a while to get the courage to post these. but they’ve been all I could think about for the last few days

I feel like there’s something with Clara being as unhinged as she is *without* a traumatic backstory, like she’s doing all of this just on sheer power of will/belief in her own bullshit??? And I love her for it

literally!!!! like she's definitely incredibly traumatised don't get me wrong but unlike all the other companions who took their pain and made it so that nobody else would ever feel like that, clara oswald decided to use it to make herself worse. everything she does is half for the bit and half bc she thinks it makes her look hot (unfortunately it does)

like i know 100% that if she'd never travelled with the doctor that woman would've still eventually ended up dying in her 30s, probably after killing someone

#asks #abossycontrolfreak #oh wow wonder what your username's about agdjhajsgshgsjagshsjshsjs #doctor who #clara oswald #non companion au where she ends up either travelling with the master #and/or on the list of unit's most wanted #i'd say 'or part of torchwood' but the universe isn't strong enough to withstand clara and jack in the same room

workplace safety poster in the torchwood offices

#doctor who #tenth doctor #torchwood #bestie and I were talking about how the doctor has been around for thousands of slutty slutty years #and how he’s always on about being the last time lord #but surely surely at some point there’s a half time lord out there with all his behaviour #likely a few on earth if not hundreds #lmfao

something about the fairies taunting jack with rose petals no less. something about the toymaker covering the unit hq in rose petals while he gets shot at. you’ll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you blessed you with the curse of eternal life

jack loses everybody he loves over and over again and as a reminder of that, rose petals.

the doctor loses everybody he loves over and over again and as a reminder of that, rose petals.

tell me that doesn’t sound remarkably similar to the way fifteen describes the goblins to ruby. the goblins are part of the toymaker’s “legions” — ancient and mysterious entities from the dawn of time, slipping in through the cracks in reality, stimulated by human belief and superstition. goblins abduct little children for their own ends and so do the “fairies”. you don’t know where the chicken or the egg is, where history ends and mythology begins: did the folklore emerge from sightings of the real creatures, or did the creatures coalesce like an egregore because of the proliferation of the folklore about them, a manifestation of humanity’s deepest fears come alive ever since the toymaker changed the rules of the game?

but was it the toymaker? could this all be a chain reaction, kickstarted billions of years ago (or only nineteen, depending on how you look at it) when one headstrong young woman looked into the time vortex and turned herself into a literal deus ex machina, defying all laws of reality, raising the dead and disintegrating the death-bringers? could that have been the moment (lol.) when it all began to unravel?

i haven’t seen classic who. what do i know. but maybe it wasn’t the line of salt at the edge of the universe. maybe it was one girl, seeing everything that ever was, everything that will ever happen, anything that ever could be. the fairies haven’t stopped pursuing jack ever since: he’s the living evidence of her miracle. they slaughter his entire train carriage but they don’t touch a hair on his head. other children are the fairies’ chosen ones, yes, but jack is the chosen one of their goddess. the bad wolf

i wonder who that jonathan groff character in the upcoming series is.

when you find out your boyfriend essentially murdered a bunch of kids but you still cradle his dead body in your arms so he doesn’t wake up alone

#hehe. silly :3 #💀💀💀#ianto knows he doesn’t know anything about jack in reality #he’s lived so long and has done so much #but ianto still loves him and believes in him #yeahg #yeah.#erm #saw this quote posted with the doctor & the master and was like hey. this also applies to them i think #torchwood #janto #ianto jones #captain jack harkness #doctor who #i think this also applies to jack & the doctor tbh #bro’s been on the receiving end and the giving end of this sentiment

when you think about it jack harkness is a stranger to everybody he meets. the doctor, ianto, gwen, even his own daughter. even the audience. we don't even know his real name, we don't know all the places hes been to or all the things hes done. hes a stranger to everyone. hes probably even a stranger to himself

#torchwood #jack harkness #back on my torchwood shenanigans #also if we did learn about his name um. whoopsies i havent watched miracle day yet and i havent heard any of the audio dramas so my bad #my posts
