"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.

Sometimes I hurt myself thinking about how when the hub blew up, really everything was destroyed. The picture of Tosh and Owen that Gwen kept on her desk, Jack's old RAF cap, his blue and white striped coffee mug, Ianto's coffee machine, Owen's lab coat, the 3D glasses on the lamp in Jack's office, really ALL of Jack's belongings that he'd gathered for over a hundred years, plus all of the archives and tons of alien artefacts. All the little bits that made it their home and all of their work, every reminder of the people they lost. Just gone.

I’m bisexual which means I’m a bad person

i do think it's so interesting that essentially ianto dies bc Jack tries to pull a the doctor style move (going up to confront the alien bad guys face to face and grandstand about how humanity won't bow down to them and basically play "are you willing to take us on" chicken without actually having a plan for what to do if the alien bad guys just go "fuck you" and hit the kill everyone button) and because he's a character within the show he doesn't understand that the reason this always works out for the doctor is. fundamentally. because doctor who is a lighthearted family show for the whole family. and bc that means for the doctor there will always either be some kind of deus ex machina to save the day (or at least the main characters) or the show just won't have the alien bad guys go fine have it your way and gas everyone in the building. And that actually there's nothing keeping him and his loved ones safe bc they are missing the one crucial thing the doctor has which is the protection of the 9pm watershed. anyway i think genre blindness is awesome as a trope so i'm having a lot of what can from a certain point of view be called fun here

[all-seeing-ifer]

the doctor may never appreciate martha enough but you know who always does? captain jack harkness. and i think that's beautiful

[itsatorchwoodthing]

so, most people dont know that you can just go to BBC writers website and read most of the original scripts for Doctor Who/Torchwood/Sarah Jane Adventures etc.. basically MOST of the Whoniverse, as well as interviews and blog entries from the writers themselves.

go check out the Whoniverse Script Library, because it’s a cool and important free resource!!!

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me

[honeyscomet]

i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

[skiipsizzyyyy]

oh my god nothing creases me more than that one clip of jack harkness stood on this random roof in the first episode of torchwood. LIKE IT ACTUALLY KILLS ME WHY DID IT GO ON FOR SO LONG

like he had to climb up all those stairs in the middle of the day to just ominously smoulder over cardiff like it’s so ridiculous

like me and my friend were actually crying over it like this guy is so beyond stupid like get down boy

[itsatorchwoodthing]

jack harkness and his (main) lovers

excluding the doctor bc they dont deserve him

[itsatorchwoodthing]
