I don't really have any words left about the way what we were watching has been twisted beyond all recognition by those involved in making it. I really, honestly, just have no words left for this. I am completely talked out about my rage and my incredulity and my whatever else it is I've got that I can't find the words for anymore. I was watching a different show, dudes, a show with respect for the characters and the relationships and the world that was created and the messages that were sent. How did I let that happen? When did that happen? What a fucking joke that was. Ha ha.

It's no wonder I want to buy the man a pony, really. For fuck's sake, he's been through enough shit.

We really should get them to notice "Ianto wants a Pony", maybe. Though the other fans are not helping in their insistence they want Ianto back. We're big girls, we get over character deaths all the time, we just think RTD is a hack writer and need to update himself on his audience, or at least stop telling us he writes to make himself happy.

I am trying to work out how to do that. I'm just out of ideas at the moment.

Sorry, rambling on regardless. I started that because I don't think BRING BACK IANTO is a very good message to send in the first place, because it implies that killing Ianto hurt us, when it was the disrespect to the character and established relationship that's got us so angry. I think the Bring Back Iantoes of this world are telling the writers, like you say, that they made the correct creative decision in doing what they did, when in fact, they didn't. They disrespected the character, they sent out ugly homophobic messages while doing it, they disrespected the relationship, they're currently disrespecting our uproar, to a certain extent the actor and they're taking all the fuss as praise. It's making me feel really frustrated.

We need to link to larger websites with more traffic, but right now, the TW articles are slowly dying down and people are getting tired of it, it'll be completely dead next month unless BBC makes some sort of announcement.

[tencrush]

GAH! I hate larger websites and more traffic. Let me muse on it.

Or have the non-official GDL site link to it. I don't think emailing these guys would help, they probably don't read any of the emails flung their way.
