PIES

[tencrush]

I love the fandom divide I've created ALL BY MYSELF. See, when I say Gareth has EATEN PIES, I am, of course, referring to pies of the steak and kidney and/or chicken and mushroom variety. I love how people read it as fruit-based pastry snacks. YOU'RE GIVING YOURSELVES AWAY AS YANKS, YEAH

I knew what you meant, silly. And I was JOKING.

[tencrush]

Yah, I'm not talking to you, babycakes. Though your pie comment made me realise, on a more general level, that I might be dealing with a slight language barrier and indeed, living full time with a Brit, a certain well-intended good-natured mockery that I am used to which doesn't quite translate, perhaps?

[off_coloratura]

Mmaybe.

Then again your average Torchwood-watching, tencrush-reading fangirl will be a titch more britspeak-literate than your average Yank.

It translates just fine to me, although my heart goes out to the poor lamb sometimes. It can't be easy trying to stay camera-fit with the sort of shooting schedule they've got.

[tencrush]

Yeah, sorry, I saw myself get blasted elsewhere for being INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVELY PERSONALLY ATTACKING THE POOR POOR BOY. Just because I said he ate a few pies.

If it was me, if I were him, I'd be MORE WORRIED by my assertion that I'd FUCK HIM TILL HE BREAKS, than by a few well-meant jibes about his jawline.

YOU LOVE HIS PIES

[rowanswhimsy]

Even though meat pies are an unnatural abomination and the only true pies have fruit, I knew what you meant. I may be a Yank but I'm pie-informed.

That muffin-top and blurry jawline owe their existence to sherpherd's pie or steak & kidney pie or mutton pie or whatever pie the Welsh eat on a regular basis, not blueberry pie. Blueberry pie would be good to Ianto as well as provide antioxidant protection.

I need a Ianto and pie icon.

Dum de dum...
*looks innocent*
*drops this on the floor*

[tencrush]

Do you happen to know which episode that's from? I know it's early S1, but which?

[off_coloratura]

Of course I do, or I couldn't have made the icon. :)

"Ghost Machine." Sploe!

(yeah, ok, it's probably a Danish. Don't care.)

[kurthummel]

Snort, I have to admit, up until now, I thought of the fruity type pies, but I stand corrected. Chicken pot pies are just as tasty, and that's the way GDL likes them...

Err, I mean...

I can't believe people are getting their asses chapped over this. Oy vey.

[rowanswhimsy]

Apparently some folks are very protective of Ianto's ass. Although after careful study I have determined that the pies have had no effect on its size, quality, or appearance.

[ionlylurkhere]

Obviously the pies in eating all the pies are meat pies. OBVIOUSLY.

And he probably has to eat so many to line his stomach for all the coffee he has to drink. Some of those scenes must go through dozens of takes.

[rowanswhimsy]

Clearly he is pie-addicted and it's the fault of the show. He should sue. Or perhaps we should sue on his behalf. Fangirls United Against Pie. FUAP.

[tencrush]

*looks around*
Shall I take this one?
*nobly sacrifices self*

*pregnant pause*

I've got something he can fuap right here.

[erinnthered]

I applaud your sacrifice. It must pain you greatly. *snort*

And yeah, I understood the kind of pies you meant. People take these things too seriously.
