I'M WORKING ON IT...

[tencrush]

Just rewatching some episodes to get some inspiration re. Ianto and what I am now calling his alpha-in-training-ness. Wow. He is the weirdest character, dudes. He's never on screen, he's always physically reserved and he doesn't say much, but when he does he COMMANDS attention, it's way more blatant than I thought it would be.

But anyway, I'm getting a bit distracted, so I'll just post random things in the meantime.

Watch this scene from Day One again.
"None of you have partners?" says Gwen. And LOOK! Jack was totally going to say something and then he shuts his mouth and changes his mind.



He's so doing the teaboy already at this point in time.

giggle ok that was funny - but I will disagree, because if they were doing anything before TKKS then you wouldn't get the "huh" face on Jack when Ianto tells him he still has the stopwatch

Captain Innuendo has no clue about Ianto just was proposing. If he did Ianto wouldn't have to explain it again, more S L O W L Y.

I like your conspiratorial (if that's the word) mind, but the one thing that keeps me from believing they were shagging pre-TKKS, or even pre-Cyberwoman, was the part from the lunch table in 1x02 when they talk about Jack's orientation. Ianto says he doesn't care in that very precise way - "And I don't care." But then again, this is bisexual, post-Fragments Ianto, so who knows?

Heee! And right after that, Gwen asks what they all do to relax, and Jack of course is thinking, "Ianto." :D

Joking aside, I keep waffling over exactly when J&I actually started having sex. The list of all possible points they could have started and the pros and cons for each point gets pretty complex quickly!

'Ianto and what I am now calling his alpha-in-training-ness.'
That is so true.

'Jack was totally going to say something and then he shuts his mouth and changes his mind.'
0_o he so is. That's what I love about this show, they don't hit you over the head with thing, you have to figure it out for yourself.

After reading your posts on the doctorwho board, I can't wait to read your essay <3

Bought the french dvds a few days ago and I saw it too... It looks like Jack considered talking but stop himself (maybe the joke he was about use wasn't funny enough)

So, I am playing Ianto in an RP now. And my ENTIRE CHARACTERISATION of him is going to be based on your meta.

JUST SO YOU KNOW.

I've been convinced that Jack and Ianto were together since Cyberwomen and Jack's rather melodramatic (overdramatic, I thought, even by JB's standards) "You hid yourself from me!" And then there was that kiss in the pool which ridiculous tender and possessive for a resuscitation and I refuse to believe that Jack will actually *grope* without a come-on first.

Then I came on the Internet and realised that people didn't see it... D: Thankfully there was the stopwatch scene.

WORD. Best example of this, imo, when he's serving tea in Small Worlds, after he serves Jack, you only see his hand moving the cups, you don't see any other parts of him at all, and my attention is riveted to the cups (and the hand moving them), rather than to the conversation. What is it about GDL that he steals the scene when he's just a disembodied hand????
