tencrush: (ianto pie)
[personal profile] tencrush

I said I'd get a few conventions out of the way before doing a pie update, so here it is. It is actually just an excuse to post some pictures for great justice and all that. (Picture credits in the titles, peeps.)

Polaris Toronto, a week and a bit ago. Let's start with pressing pie matters:



I can't quite work out what's going on in this one, is that a bulge? Or is that the shirt? Answers on a postcard, please, fabric or tum?? I just can't decide. What I can see is that he hasn't been taking my advice to heart regarding not putting things in his pockets because it draws the eye away from his cock. *squints* Unless that is his cock. In which case I haven't said a word and congratulations, young man.

Onwards!



THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Two shining examples of how, if they can't quite see it, to keep the audience at least thinking about your cock. Put a wee doggy on it. Make sure the doggy looks happy and pleased to be near it. A stellar plan, well thought through, well executed. Kudos, Gareth.




I was meant to be taling about pie, but, again, I can't quite make my mind up. I think we're still heading in the right direction, but I can't be sure.


On to ComicCon, last Thursday:



Again, there's a strange fabricy thing going on here that I can't quite put my finger on. In this case I'm pretty sure it's fabric. Also, yes, that's John Barrowman's mother. Maybe we could ask her? And, yet again, unless your cock is shaped like a packet of fags, Gareth, I'm thinking that's probably a packet of fags. STOP IT!




This one's a bit clearer on the pie front, and I'm thinking this is definitely a positive development. Also, I note the tan thing has been taken on board, and damn, it does suit him. The pasty Welshness wasn't helping matters in any way. Good job, boy!




Chin status: Good, going well. Designer stubble, still, so it's hard to tell, but again I think we're going places. Good, fine places. Also, maybe I've just put this smiley picture in for no real reason. It's cute. Mmmm.

PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession.

ETA: From the pictures and video I've been looking at re. pie, I'm getting the distinct impression that in the past few months Gareth has fallen into the trap that so many young men have fallen into before him. He does seem to be going to the gym regularly now, but he seems to be concentrating on building up muscle. He's gone way broader on top than he used to be and he's suddenly way more defined in the chest and shoulders, but he doesn't seem to be getting enough aerobic exercise to get rid of the gut. Hire a personal trainer, boy!


Last note of non-connected noteworthyness, this is [livejournal.com profile] griggharris' signed picture:



IT IRKS ME, that NOBODY at the BBC has, in the past year, taken it upon themselves to edit the shadows of the other cast member's coats out of these individual promo shots that they cut out of the group shot. IT'S LAZY AND STUPID AND WOULD ONLY TAKE TEN MINUTES IN PHOTOSHOP FFS! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

His face isn't nearly as puffy as it was in the DW season finale. Also, keep in mind that the man has 3 more weeks to slim down before shooting starts. Pie status: Medium.

The designer stubble with the delicate green wedding fairy wings? They are giving me cognitive dissonance. Also, a plot bunny I'm not sure a wanted right now.

I know I'd be pleased.

I do recall seeing that he was spotted hitting the gym in Toronto. Considering he's kinda-sorta on vacation, that shows some dedication, and judging by his arms in all the CC pics, I'd say it's paying off.
There was one video from the beginning of the panel, he and John hugged, and I swear Gareth looked the broader (in a good muscular shoulders and arms way) of the two.

Someone else has spotted that Gareth's arms appeared broader than JB's at the convention. As for his tum, as long as it's flatter than Daniel Craig's, that's all that matters. And tums are meant to be a bit round.

He looks great. :)

JB mentioned twice at Comic-Con that Gareth has a big c**k. I wonder if Gareth was a bit freaked out by that? :)

While I agree that the stubble is working for him, I must (because I'm a natural killjoy) point out that he is not growing what would be a convincing beard. He's one of those men who needs to stop at stubble. A full beard and I'm afraid he'll look like a homeless person.

NOOO I LOVE THE PASTY WELSHNESS. It made the only colors on his face white, pink and blue so he was all cotton-candy colored and that pleased me just fine.

The pie also appears to be improving, I agree! Oh, and your packet-of-fags-shaped-cock comment broke my diaphragm.

"PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession."

I'm not as positive as you are, since he had a couple of relapses, but I will try to keep in a good faith. At least the hair was grown back (stub was very cute/sexy), I'm guessing everyone realized the short hair was a bad idea for the chin.

Current pie status is adorable for Gareth, but unsatisfied for Ianto. Still a long way to go to reach the S1 status. (Note: the beginning of S1)

Again, Dear Gareth, get some tips from those LA gym junkies; look at those US based actors at their 20s, feel some pressure then go work out. (And you too Barrowman! I saw that tummy.)

We still love you and the idea of Jack and Ianto, no matter what. But at times, It's not easy, just, just looking at [Ianto], 'cause [your pie status] are wrong... You are, I can't help it. I'm a [fan girl], it's instinct. It's in my guts.(At this moment, I fully grasp the Doctor's pain.)

You know what? I think they both look perfect just as they are. Western society's obsession with an unnatural body image just leads to problems. Yes exercise is important, but for health, not for vanity. Both JB and GDL appear to be in decent shape and are both extremely good-looking men. And the Gareth's stubble? Adorable.

Agree with your assessment of pie status. Not entirely clear, but going in a good direction and much improved. Going to gym is good, but I agree about aerobics. I'm not sure I like the big chested look. Also, I agree about the pockets - that's annoying. That said, he looks really cute in these pictures! I love the stubble. Not sure about the hair.

S1 look is never coming back, urnssadomen, I"m afraid, you'll have to give up that hope!

I think a tan suits him, so does stubble and green tinkerbell wings, lol :)

But his face is looking leaner which is good. His arms are getting buff which is nice just as long as he doesn't over due it.

His tummy is getting smaller but there could be more done. I also don't think wearing his jeans down by his c*ck helps any.

But I did enjoy looking at the pretty pics :)

Forgot to add, that I thought in Season 1 he was a little too skinny. But also he was what only 24 maybe 25 when he started filming Torchwood? He's 27 now, his body is going to change a bit. I know my body has changed over these past couple years as well as I've gotten older (I'm almost 26 now).

Meh, I'll chime in.

Liked skinny, pale, frightened bunny Ianto,
Liked slightly less skinny Ianto
Liked normal Ianto, as well as fluffy Ianto
liked Ianto when apparantly he was a ginormous whale and I missed the memo

Hell, I'm tipping the scales at 220 so I enjoy seeing a normal, very good looking (well he's slightly too well built now!) guy being a love interest.

I can't believe I never noticed the coat thing until you just said. And now every time I see that image I'll see that bloody coat. Also, while I'm ranting about the BBC's lack of photoshop skills, have you seen the promo pic of the torchwood team plus Martha from last series? Martha has two ear lobes, and I don't mean one on either side! Also, Gwen's hands... *shudder* I had to stop looking at it after that, but I'm almost positive there's more.

Anywho, on the topic of pie, I'm hopeful that him buffing up means naked scenes...? A girl can dream.

Ok, so everyone here bitching about GDL's weight. Post a picture. Now. Come on, since clearly you must be Greek gods, let's see you. Oh wait? You're not perfect?! Then back off!

Seriously, so the guy gained a couple lbs, he's not the 600 lb man or anything by any stretch of the imagination. He's a hot young guy. So what if he has a tiny bit of a belly on him, he's still hot! It's people sitting around doing stuff like this, that gives actors and actresses eating disorders! (And it's even ruder, when you KNOW for a fact that the person in question is in fandom! Imagine how you would feel if you stumbled across someone posting something like this about you.)

Or about any woman!

I think he always looks lovely. Also I love his pale skin, it is beautiful and suits his colouring. JB also looks lovely when pale. I can't bear all this over tanned nonsense.

Do you think that I could offer myself up as Gareth's personal fag-carrier, so's to allow all the cock obsessed fangirls(and boys) to have a clearer view?

Also, do you agree that the fearie wings are quite slimming?

I do think that things are on a general upward trend.
Of course, on a purely fantasy level, I would personally want him just as he is, because he's just too cuddly for words and that works for me on so many levels.

Guh. The adorabibbleness! The hunkiness! The combination of the two!! I think Gareth is absolutely perfect as he is right. Now. Round belly, smoker's gravel, hunky arms, hunky neck, sweet smile, dirty mind, and all. Perfect.

(except for the pocket thing; yes, Gareth, empty out your dang pockets so we can see the peen, okay? we've heard all about it from The Barrowman, now we want to SEE it!)

Actually, it's my personal theory that his tum's been there since he hit 25, it ain't going nowhere, and the occasional facial puffiness is due to late nights and beer. Unrelated phenomena.

Ah, but my two points of fixed admiration are never-changing:

Tinkerbell wings a major plus. ;-)

This was kind of moderately amusing the first time you did it but now? Dear god! The man is hardly clinically obese is he?

So any chance of you posting a picture of yourself so that we can assess for scientific purposes the state of your chin, arms, arse, abs etc. Seems only fair.

Hear, hear.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. He's barely changed over the last year. Most of the time people say he's bigger or thinner etc it's just because of the clothes he's wearing or the way he's standing.

Thank God I'm not famous.

Count me in as still more than mildly amused at these posts. Also, statistically speaking, the pictures and associated commentary tend more toward the topic of peen than the topic of pie. So, I'm a bit surprised that so many are reading these posts as if the discussion is along the lines of "OMG! GDL is a gross, disgusting fatty!" Or perhaps the reading is more like skimming over, rather than taking in all of the words? On a more serious note, while it's true that it takes all kinds and not all people are the same size and so on and so forth, Gareth has voluntarily chosen a profession in which looks absolutely factor into the competition for work. And I want to see him get more work because I think he's brilliant, so if taking care of himself will help with that, cool. In other news, I was wondering if he was chomping on nicotine gum at the panel, but then I saw the picture with the pack-shaped pocket. Alas.

Hey I was there too. I have the Countrycide pic signed...what I really liked that ep in a non-kinky way, in a scary fun with gore way. Who am I kidding this is me....LMAO.

ComicCon and Polaris luck duck!

Yeah he's still a smoker. He ducked out for a smoke break at the Blast Off party. Oh and he was smashed, I can confirm that...although I was pretty smashed on about three Screwdrivers at the time. What, I'm a lightweight!

My own report is up. I still have to fix some of my images (I think I was getting shaky from little sleep and too much partying, most nights til 2am) because there's only slight blurring.

My god he's hot though...just meep. Talked to him three times in total.

Oh and on another note I met Jason Dohring and he was wearing a leather jacket. I may have to write VM or Moonlight porn now....but I'm doing the report.


I can't quite work out what's going on in this one, is that a bulge? Or is that the shirt? Answers on a postcard, please, fabric or tum?? I just can't decide. What I can see is that he hasn't been taking my advice to heart regarding not putting things in his pockets because it draws the eye away from his cock. *squints* Unless that is his cock. In which case I haven't said a word and congratulations, young man.

Well according to ComicCon reports it may be his cock (He's 'big' according to John Barrowman...how do I make that not dirty? Or RPS slash sounding.) but is probably his cigarettes 'cause he's a smoker. Hope he quits but I understand with all the stress of being a struggling actor and trust me he struggled.

Personally, I think that he's always very hot but my friend has (during one of our Owen vs Ianto arguments) pointed out he does have a bit of a stomach sometimes. It really isn't that big of a deal for Torchwood except when he is doing shirtless scenes (more please *makes puppy dog eyes at the script writers*) as his suits do make him look stunning anyway. And have caused my slight obsession with pinstripes :p.

I love the fairy wings and the stubble. So cute. And his shoulders have definitely got bigger, I noticed it while watching a video from the comic-con.

I wouldn't like him half as much if he did look perfect. Perfect looking people tend to invoke jealous hatred from me. Besides, my favourite thing about him is definitely his sense of humour anyway.

For the people who are saying that this is really wrong, it's only wrong if people are making loads of negative comments. Most of the comments that people have made are more along the lines of 'omg he is so cute' and I don't think that Gareth would mind reading that if he did happen to get onto this lj.

I tend to personally love Owen/Ianto...my rule: If they fight/snark at each other slash em!

Yeah I like that he's flawed and human still and he's adorably nervous around fangirls.
