so now i can fully appreciate this - cinnamingirl August 11 2008, 02:04:31 UTC
-laughs-

I mean, I would have been able to before, but not to the same extent. Thanks for the introduction, Muffin.

Also, what was that link where I can watch the rest of it? And you need a bit of spell-check in the first part, around the 'speaking English' line.

The link is here: http://www.rootforum1.com/showthread.php?tid=5823
but you need to be a member before you can see the links. 'Tis free, though.

Where's the misspelled word? I've looked that section over about five times, and I can't see it. I think I actually did spell-check this one, which is rare.

"maybe-if-I-speak-English-loud-enough-they'll-understand. "Can we help you find your way back to your bushel?""

was where I thought it was. But apparently the line just breaks funny on the page. Never mind then...

Also - Jack saying something 'lowly' doesn't sound quite right...

Oh yes. *grins maniacally* Absolutely yes. ASFTWWC! (awesomesauce for the win with cinnamon)
AND IANTO IS EVIL! I have said this before, and I'll say it again. Evil. Such lack of remorse. Such smile. *beams*

Gwen slinking. And your description of Jack. *cackles*

Wheeee, feedback from Chaos! AGAIN! You're spoiling me darl, you really are.

I'm just wondering-- I pretty much have to continue this, right? But how? Is Evil!Ianto the result of alien possession, magic mushrooms, or a mid-life crisis? What about bananas? Seriously. Bananas. Are they in league with the apples? Where do Ianto's brass knuckles fit in?

*nods solemnly* That's right.

Oh, hey. Options. I had assumed it was residual trauma from losing Tosh and Owen.
Alien possession has been done. And done and done and done. BUT. That isn't to say one didn't try, only to end up buried under a mountain of angst in a blocked off corner of Ianto's brain.
Magic mushrooms, I have read recently. IIRC, they were doing pelvic thrusts. But that was in a different fandom, and I have no evidence to say that Evil!Ianto couldn't be caused by magic mushrooms. You would have to explain why the others weren't also evil, though.
All things considered, I don't think Ianto would have time for a mid-life crisis.

Bananas are good. This is canon. You wouldn't want to go against canon, would you?

The brass knuckles came free with the paring knife. Which is alien, but not an alien.

Hey. Hey. What if....

Ianto and Tosh were totally in a D/s relationship for the whole of TW 1 and 2, and that's where Ianto got all of his mean out, but now that she's gone he's out of balance? I'm thinking Tosh was the domme. Totally. Yes. Except not at all. Or maybe they switched. Can we fit this into the 4chanTroll!Tosh scenario...?

Really I'm just making stuff up and this does not make any sense. But I like the idea that Ianto is like this naturally and is just now showing it more for some reason.

Or the bananas are talking to him. They are far more interesting, after all.

Obviously the brass knuckles/paring knife combo was a special on the Home Shopping Network of some planets where fruit gangs are a problem. "Harold, don't approach that kiwi! It's rotten to the core!"

There's also the Evil Twin option...?

I'm watching the fifth episode, and it's kinda confusing- there seems to be a significant time jump between the third episode where tosh is all upset about Tommy and then 5th where she's been with Adam for a year.

Also, why are they all angsty now - esp. this scene with Jack and Adam where Jack's remembering stuff? Just the lines are... sad. and sappy.

This seems so out-of-character for Jack. Hopefully will be explained as the ep goes on.

Omg, I get it now. But this is so campy!! It's like a fricking seance... -laughs rotflmao-

Yeah... you know Torchwood is rilly rilly bad at times, right? Especially when they give John Barrowman (Jack) too many lines, particularly the OMGEPIC ones that absolutely no-one can say believably. Seriously. "I let go of his hand!" How the fuck do you deliver that? When they don't give him anything to say, he's brilliant (e.g., the final scene of Meat.)

Yeah, I know...

Just the whole, seance/forgetting scene. It was so BAD!!! I mean, I remember watching Who and seeing that it was pretty campy, but I thought that was cause it was for kids.

Ianto keeps a diary! That's so cute. Also, the line about measuring tapes was great.
