i think fandom wank is a great term! like yeah this discourse IS self-indulgent and fundamentally uninteresting to other people!

you know I never thought that deeply into the meaning lol it IS very accurate

[toshsato]

hhh i can’t figure it out on my own but the first three on the list that u haven’t answered yet! (torchwood asks)

Thanks for the ask!!!

10. favourite ship outside the main three (not jack/ianto, tosh/owen, or gwen/rhys)?

In terms of canon ships, I like Tosh/Mary the most.

Non-canon is tricky because I’m a huge multi-shipper that will read fic for literally any Torchwood pairing. I guess lately I’ve been having a huge soft spot for Tosh/Gwen?

11. which era of torchwood would you like to be explored more in the extended material?

I’d really love more that takes place between seasons 1 and 2. I've always wanted to see more of how the team functioned without Jack and how the relationships between the team developed during that period. We got a Tosh and Ianto audio taking place during that period and I loved it so much. I would kill for an Ianto and Gwen one, or one with the whole team handling a case without Jack.

12. if you were to pair up two characters for the first time in an audio, who would they be? 

Aside from Gwen and Ianto, Tosh and Martha would be great! They didn’t get to interact much on the show so I’d love to listen to an audio with them teaming up. I think that dynamic could be really interesting.

torchwood ask game!

6 and 18!!

6. favourite character not in the main five?

Lois!!! I love her and I wish we saw more of her in canon (either in the show or.... audio??? I want a Lois audio SO MUCH), as well as which I wish we got to see literally any backstory for her....

18. best platonic relationship?

I feel like everyone knows about my intense love of Gwen and Ianto’s friendship (not least because I shoehorn it into literally everything I write, relevant or not) but yeah. YEAH. I love them and they make me happy :’)

Also though, idk how much it counts for this but I love the whole team found-family dynamic, as a distinct thing from all the individual relations within it. Come to think of it, yeah, I’m counting that because I love it <3

1, 12, 14, 15 💕

Thank you for asking!! Sorry I took forever to respond! Also I LOVE your url.

1. Team Free Will 1.0 or 2.0? Def 2.0!! I’m a big fan of an ensemble cast. I honestly just kind of lump every friend Sam and Dean have ever had into team free will in my head LOL

12. Most memorable episode? Oh dang, that’s hard. I think the ones that stick out to me the most are from the earlier seasons. I remember watching them at 4am on school nights as a freshmen in high school because God I’ve been watching SPN a long time. But anyway, the s2 finale, Mystery Spot, Hell House, the Sam-centric episodes in s7 (the Born Again Identity!!), etc. All of those are ones that stuck with me enough I ultimately came back to SPN as an adult too (and here we are). From recent seasons, Golden Time is DEF going to be one I keep coming back to. I loooove you Eileen.

14. Favorite female character(s)? Here I made this meme

in all seriousness: EILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN but I also obviously love Rowena, Billie, Jody (wish you were a firefighter instead of a cop though), and all the Wayward Sisters in general. 

15. One thing you wish to happen before the show ends? Can we PLEASE get Sam and Dean into therapy so they can deal with an entire lifetime (and then some) of accumulated trauma. Also, while I know now it won’t happen, why didn’t we get a Stanford episode!!

[martindykewood]

can i like. actually ask about ur experience w seretonin syndrome bc the explanations never really made much sense to me slkdjlfskd

yeah for sure!!! warning this is a convoluted story with many interacting factors and i can’t be 100% sure it was serotonin syndrome, but based on my other experiences with circumstances involving one or more of those factors, i’m inclined to believe that was what it was.

to set the scene: it was passover 2018, the first passover after i got my drivers license and also the first passover after i started taking lexapro. these facts are both relevant. and also i was dreadfully ill with some sort of head cold. and seeing as how i could drive, i was my brother’s ride to the seder. i also personally love passover it is my favorite holiday so the possibility of staying home that evening was never a serious option.

so i did what any sensible person would do when they have to be somewhere and they are very sick: i took a full dose of mucinex dm and a full dose of dayquil at the same time, and then i rolled up to the seder. now, you have to keep in mind here that there were several things going on that evening inside my body, so parsing the symptoms was incredibly difficult for me. 

because, okay. the symptoms of serotonin syndrome that i experienced that night were: sweats, shivers, fatigue, headaches, mental confusion, irritability, and nausea. but. those symptoms all could have been caused or exacerbated by one or more of the other factors involved, including: my head cold, my untreated adhd, an abundance of food, alcohol per se plus the effects of mixing alcohol and lexapro.

so while the effects of the serotonin set in sometime while i was driving to the seder, it didn’t really concern me until much later. at first i just assumed i was drowsy and foggy because i was sick. and then the cold medicine actually started working, so i got slightly less headachey and feverish. and then i started drinking, so i got steadily more confused and fatigued. and then i started eating and kept drinking, so i got steadily more nauseated and overheated.

it wasn’t really clear that something was wrong until after dinner, after dessert, when everyone was winding down and the kids were trying to pull me upstairs to play with them and i found i couldn’t move without feeling like a rock crumbling into dust. i was lying on the couch with my eyes closed and trying not to die, and then my aunt asked me if i was alright and i was like no, i’m really sick, you knew this, and she was like no you look like... way worse than before. and i was like i don’t know why this is happening i shouldn’t feel so sick i took two whole doses of cold medicine! and about five Real Adults in the vicinity turned to me and told me in unison that that was a shitty fucking idea.

i waited until i was very soundly sober, and i had several people check me on it, and i didn’t really feel better at all but i was like hm yeah we should go home. and i went into the basement to say goodbye to the brother that didn’t drive there with me, and he was talking to my uncle’s best friend whose name is wolf, and wolf hugged me so hard i heard my ribs creak, and then he said hey are you okay you don’t look too hot, and i said yeah i’m fine i’m just not feeling well, and he wiped the sweat from my forehead with his bare hand and told me to get some rest, and i nearly puked on his shoes, because i hate him.

all in all, that evening was a very poorly conducted experiment in What Not To Do. i’m convinced it was serotonin syndrome because many times before then and since then i have combined alcohol and lexapro and being very sick in various configurations and i have never felt like that except for that night when i took a double dose of cold medicine. there was no control group and no methodology, just me and my viral infection and my antidepressants and my expectorants and cough suppressants and my sauvignon blanc and my mental disorders and my hubris.

Hi! The episodes have really blurred together for me (well, the first 4 seasons) so I can’t tell you how often it happens but a few scenes stick out in my mind and I think a lot of similar stuff like it is spread throughout the show, unfortunately.
