[livejournal.com profile] smirnoffmule has posted some pictures from Teh Hub Torchwood convention here.

I'm reposting some here for luls, but go check out the originals. (ETA: Who was it that revealed to me they were majorly into thighs? There's some good thighage going on over at [livejournal.com profile] smirnoffmule's. Checkit.)






















I love this last one. The classic Gareth "I'm not gay, me, honest!!" pose. If only he were smoking a fag.


I've not read many reports from said convention, apparently there was some BIG SEKRIT pisstake play put on by the boys about Torchwood and its Gheyness, and apparently nobody is allowed to know about or show or film it or whatever, and it would seem whatever it was that was said has stretched to people not even writing up reports or posting pics, because apart from these, I haven't seen any. WTF, man? I've seen complete filming of other conventions and I really don't think copyright protection or protection of the Beeb's good name is at play here, it just doesn't make any sense. TW's about the crack and the ghey and surely conventions, convention reports and even shaky crappy filmed bits of conventions on YouTube are just more publicity at the end of the day? Why the big whoop made about this particular sketch? THE ACTORS TAKE THE PISS OUT OF THE SHOW. Yah, dudes. That's not big news to me, or anyone else who watches. Honestly. Something's not quite computing here.

Anywho. Yeah, that's Gareth's bum.

*is dead*

I'm a bit saddened that the Beeb doesn't understand the lolz, though :/

Actually some of the pics up there are from the evening play, and a good number of [livejournal.com profile] smirnoffmule's are from it. Basically, all the John/Gareth seated fanservice is from a panel, and the full-on standing up embrace is from the play.

And they never said nobody was allowed to talk about it - Barrowman did say that filming it would definitely get them into trouble for taking the piss out of the show, but he also said that taking stills was just fine.

Plus, although it was definitely an awesome moment of crack and major gay, it really only lasted fifteen minutes - all in all, I'm not sure I get why the people who were there would make it sound like the Super Sikkrit Best Thing Of The History of Creation. It was tremendous fun, mainly because it went sort of everywhere, but the lets-keep-it-between-the-attendees policy is one I can't find anything nice to say about.

So are videos of the panel allowed and not the play? Or are all banned?

Well, you know how conventions are ; videos of the panel were not allowed in a typical con fashion - meaning it was the organizers' rule not to film them because they'd want to keep the exclusivity if ever they were to release what they filmed themselves in DVD. When they saw someome filming they'd just go to that person and ask them to stop.

The rule about the play was that the Beeb would get the people involved into trouble if their licenced show was being made fun of publicly by the talent. Showmasters themselves didn't film that bit (not publicly at least, and certainly not for a possible release on DVD).

All the concern over a video getting out had me thinking 'OMG, what horrible thing did they do in the play?(!)' Maybe there were real insults; and they must have been in costume (and then I could easily see the copyright infringement argument); and... what else could possibly cause this kind of concern (and maybe keep the actors from future cons)?

And then the few pics and explanations appeared - and I'm still left with 'wait, what?' Because it might be a little bit more than usual, and in a shorter space of (real) time, but otherwise you can see most of that on youtube already.

*is put out by not being able to view vid (and Gareth not turning around)*

Boxer briefs? Oh, Gareth, honey.

Nice ass though.

Oh, but I love boxer briefs. Not every man can wear them, luckily Gareth can :-))

I would disagree when it comes to women; panties keep one's clothes clean and free of the daily effluvia. And there's your TMI right back atcha.

It's only natural, goddamnit. :P

How the hell else do you keep girl juices from getting on your clothes, then? Don't tell me you wear a tampon every day, because ew.

Oh, god, sorry for my spelling and upper/lower case mistakes. That's what I get for trying to do a drive-by post when I should have been out the door, in my car, and headed to work. :-(

You mean there's Gay content on Torchwood? I had no idea. *rolls eyes*

Oh, bless you!!!!! Just THANK YOU for posting these pics (as well as many others since I'm wary to venture out into scary forums after being burnt by a fandom a couple years back). I also checked out smirnoffmule's journal and will have MANY pleasant dreams tonight (as well as some non-productive lusty daydreams at work).

I now have one of these photos as my phone wallpaper. *grins*

To be honest, it was hardly super sekret - anyone who is passingly familiar with the Barrowman and GDL could have pretty much guessed the content... Basically Jack and Ianto are weevil hunting in Northampton, and Rhys is accidentally transported through space/time to join them. Innuendo involving Ianto meeting Jack round the back entrance, and the stage direction "Ianto enters". More innuendo, amusing fluff-ups, a joke about rugby which Barrowman failed, and then Rhys gets possessed by a gaylien.

JB said please don't film, which I hope people respected, but he also said he didn't mind people taking stills. The organisers however asked everyone to put their cameras down no matter what, since they can't tell who's taking stills and who is filming. Consequentially, I snagged the ones I snagged a bit naughtily, but that's why there aren't many pictures floating about.

LOL THAT WAS MEEE. I am amazed you actually remembered that instead of just vaguely running away in the opposite direction from my comment as I much expected.

I've seen a couple detailed reports of the sketch. Apparently what the big hullaballoo is about is that if there is video of it for some reason there won't be anymore TW conventions. Yeah, no idea why, but apparently that's what's at stake here. I guess they're touchy about it for whatever reason.

...Mankissing! ♥
