Okay...
So, like I've said, I don't really believe in all this SAVE FERRIS IANTO nonsense, because it's pointless and for me, it's not really Ianto's death, but his reduction from a character to a bit part, a lovesick and ignored appendage of Jack's, and ultimately a plot device in CoE that upset me.
But then there's this community: Fans For Ianto which is... strangely sweet. Sweet to the point of moving me to tears somehow. No, really. I'm behind this sort of thing. I like the sentiment. We're all just a bunch of people typing at the end of the day, but yeah, a bunch of people nonetheless. We're not fucking insane or overentitled, we're just fucking people. I might even post to this community. Even though I don't want Ianto back. At least, not if that means RTD ever gets his mitts on him again. But yeah. I like this.
Needs moar boys.
ETA: Yeah, so I posted to this community, it's awaiting moderation. The reason I did it is because it had this vibe to it, like, you know one of those climactic scenes in an 80's John Hughes flick where one by one everyone in the cafeteria stands up and says "I'm Spartacus" or whatever it is they do in those films, that kind of "Oh captain my captain" thing? It feels like that to me, this kind THIS IS US thing, which is REALLY TWEE, I know, but for some reason it made me happier about what's happened and how I've been feeling about it, and especially that RTD thing about fans and how we're just nothing and fuck you I'll do what I want to. Fuck him. I just wanted to say that somehow and now I've said it. It would be nice if the WHOLE OF FANDOM would go there and say it, and I know that won't happen, but still, it's the thought that counts. Ramble over.
