So it has come to my attention that some people actually find Ianto's REALLY REALLY FUGLY necklace attractive. *Ahem* Yeah, no. The neck: very very lickable! The casual clothing ensemble: tres hot! The open shirt complete with little peeks at his chest hairs: mmm yum!

The necklace however can only be described as FUGLY.

But, in the fairness of trusting the internet has good taste, I present a poll:


This is going to be hard to do but ignore the prettiness of everything else and concentrate on the COMPLETELY FUGLY necklace. (Sorry, the cap is crappy but I trust everyone remembers this scene well.) Now remember Ianto's pretty pretty BARE neck.


Now answer this poll:
[Poll #1160954]

ETA: I don't know why I misspelled 'immerse' with an e. I wish you can edit polls. I BLAME IT ON THE POWER OF THE FUGLY!

I did observe the no-posting thing on Friday though more in support of the fact that I don't like the whole removal of basic accounts than as an actual protest. That is, I'm simply saying 'I don't like this', I'm not expecting to change any policies or get in a fight with Six Apart (or whatever they're called) and I don't know anything about the anti-Jewish/anti-Russian associations that have been floating around (though I don't think the original idea at least had anything to do with that). In all, I don't really think it's a big deal if you did or didn't post. :)

So with that said, OMG NEW TORCHWOOD, POSSIBLY MY FAVOURITE EPISODE EVER (which kind of tells you what my priorities are in shows). Previously, my favourite was definitely "They Keep Killing Suzie" though "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" was definitely up there as well.

( 'Fragments' Reactions + Ianto Picspam, Yay! )

( OMG TORCHWOOD 2x11 YOU BROKE MY CAPSLOCK BUTTON!! )

Also, I just spent way too much time figuring out the details of the layout of the Hub and how it's changed since series one. Like how the old conference room is now the greenhouse and Gwen's old desk area is now the coffee station. OH SHOW! &hearts

ETA: fodian has good eyes! ( I have the magic of photoshop! )

I have been spending waaaaay too much time in photoshop lately and since I feel slightly (very slightly) dumb for having only Ianto/Gareth icons, I'm just going to post them instead. Yay!

8 total: 2 Jack, 2 Jack/Ianto, 3 Ianto, 1 Gareth

( Icons! )

Whoever thought it would be a cool idea to hand code their custom CSS instead of using the million and one pretty, already created layouts out there clearly needs to be shoot in the head. Especially if they don't, you know, know anything about CSS.

I swear, I was up till six in the morning trying to figure out what all their little parameters mean. This reminds me that I will never, ever change my layout again.

But at least I have Gareth's pretty face! And finally, no more Fight Club theme! I am Jack no more!

Speaking of Gareth a.k.a. Ianto a.k.a. the only thing I talk about: I continue being contrary to the rest of my flist and actually liked "From Out of the Rain". Oh show, I don't require much from you besides seeing Ianto's face every five seconds and not making me want to slap half the main characters!

( Haha, don't worry, I didn't think it was a good episode or anything! )

ETA: I take it back! I can totally do Gareth's pretty face because this amused me so much! (Sorry, was too lazy to do a timed screencap, but you should totally see this live!)



Look! Ianto! With flowers! (I say they are totally from Jack from after the wedding! :D)

I have to confess that I did not hate "Something Borrowed*" though I am totally declaring today International Hug Ianto/Slap Jack Day.

( In which I continue my love affair with Gareth's face... )

*I cannot stop typing borrowed as barrowed. I had to spellcheck it before I realized I was spelling it wrong. I think John would be proud.

And he will look dapper doing it too!

Or, I know this episode was about Owen but of course I am in love with Ianto.

( Spoilers for 3x08: A Day in the Death + Ianto!Picspam )

So, is the Three in the BBC Three logo pretty and pink to a: better match Ianto's new magenta shirt, b: better match John Barrowman's personality, or c: all of the above?

Firstly, HAPPY IANTODAY (tm slodwick!)

Secondly, dear BBC, thank you for loving Americans after all and not locking up your site like I thought. You were just being crafty by giving me weird rights protection messages, but I have figured you out.

Plus you give me this:

( Email between Jack and Ianto from Dead Man Walking )

In conclusion: BBC site admin are full of win!

ETA: ( Ianto you snarky bitch! )

So awhile back, I tried to play the Torchwood mission game by accessing the BBC site through a proxy servor, but it never worked probably and I just kind of forgot about it.

Imagine my surprise then when I log onto an alternative email account and see in the sender column IANTO JONES!!

OMG THANK YOU BBC FOR MAKING MY CRUSH THAT MUCH MORE OBSESSIVELY GREAT! BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T WANT EMAIL FROM THEIR FICTIONAL BELONGS-WITH-ANOTHER-MAN TV BOYFRIEND??

(My first reaction was totally that I somehow have become so delusional as to have created another gmail account in my sleep, named myself Ianto Jones, and then covertly sent myself emails from there so I can say I GET EMAILS FROM IANTO!)

So yeah, I kind of used to write stuff. Then I stopped. Then I watched Torchwood.

Can you guess what happens next?

(In other words, new Torchwood fic!)

This was totally written before anyone had any idea who Gray was so therefore I am allowed to completely disregard canon. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Also, forget that this is from Jack's POV, IANTO IS SO MY BOY.

Thank you so, so much to kiss_her_theta for the wonderful beta. And so speedy too! I am all amazement!
