20!

20. give me a hot take on anything you like!

oh boy here we go. this is something i generally don’t talk about much because i know it’s a rather unpopular opinion.

but, i do not ship tosh/owen. in any way, really.

there are several reasons for this, so this may get a bit lengthy.

first, tosh deserves better. don’t get me wrong, i love owen. however, he was such a DICK to her for most of the series, he said some pretty cruel things to her [ specifically i’m thinking about the thing in countrycide about how ‘ i wouldn’t ask you. ‘ ] and honestly, she deserves better than to pine after a guy who was never good to her. so much emphasis was put on her love life, which i hate, and they never gave her someone who actually treated her the way a queen like toshiko sato should be treated [ tommy was the closest and then they killed him so ok writers ]

second, tosh is nowhere near owen’s type nor what he needs in a partner. when it comes to owen, he needs someone who can keep up with him; but, he also needs someone who will keep him in check and not take his shit. there isn’t really a point where tosh puts her foot down on the way he treated her, even in dead man walking it took outside forces for owen to realise he had been a dick and apologise to her. someone like diane or even gwen [ under different circumstances ] is the type of woman owen needs. 

i know that a lot of people take how soft owen becomes for tosh as a sign that he had feelings for her, but personally i don’t see it that way. he loves her, i think probably the only person he would use the word ‘ love ‘ towards; but, he’s not IN LOVE with her. there’s a difference and an important difference when it comes to relationships. i don’t think it ever would have gotten to the point of him falling head-over-heels in love with her had they gotten together and i think a relationship between them would have ended no matter what.

also there is no chemistry there. i’m sorry i just don’t feel it in the way that you can feel it between owen and diane/gwen or even with tosh and tommy [ or mary had she not been manipulating tosh the whole time ]. it’s just not there.

from a writing standpoint, i don’t ship it because it feels like the writers didn’t know what to do with them and just kind of threw them together. gwen had rhys, jack and ianto had each other, and then there were tosh and owen. they knew neither were going to make it past the season finale so why not make it a romeo and juliet thing? that’s what they were going for, but it feels like they only did it because they knew they wouldn’t have to follow through with a relationship later on. it just felt like ‘ well we have these two left, why not stick them together. ‘

anyway, no i don’t ship tosh and owen. there were better fitted people out there for both of them, their relationships didn’t need to stay within torchwood [ and it could have been interesting for one of them to find that after the conversation they had where owen says ‘ look around you tosh, only we know what we do ‘ ]

⚡️so... there's a military team spirit day today, my building is near their stadium to practice and my window is wide open because AC isn't a thing here

good thing : not so bad to look at when I want a break 👀

bad thing : I need to focus and I have approximatively 75 dudes yelling under my window...
