PONIES!!!

[tencrush]

There's a party going on at the Teaboy for the £2000 mark for Ianto's pony charity. Two things I would like to stress, for fun and for the record.

1) Ianto Jones Wants A Pony is a charitable fund set up to thank GDL for his loveliness as Ianto. It is NOT a charitable fund set up to in any way endorse any campaign to bring Ianto back to our screens. I'm not invested in any such campaign and I'd like to clear that up again for the record. THANK YOU ALL for your donations, I hope they keep coming, and please, whatever your opinion on the matter of Bringing Back Ianto, give the ponies your support. But there's a reason I set up a rival campaign to the CiN one, and that reason was to set up a campaign where people could show their love without feeling like they had to support a drive to return Ianto to Torchwood, that was and is its main purpose.

2) COULD SOMEONE PLEASE DONATE 82p, THAT 18 PENCE IS DRIVING ME SPARE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO DO IT MYSELF BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO VALIDATE MY OWN ANAL ATTITUDES TOWARDS SMALL CHANGE. THANK YOU ELLA!

FWIW, I didn't donate to the 'Save Ianto' fund because I want to 'save Ianto' and/ or because I think any campaign could ever do that. (Frankly, if RTD let slip that he'd had a think and had decided to Bring Ianto Back, I still wouldn't watch and I wouldn't trust the lying fuck not to make it another cheap truck anyway). Along with a lot of other donors there, we were just expressing our sadness or anger or appreciation of GDL.

And putting it brutally, of the two i'd still rather donate to CiN than Lluest, because I'd rather save children than ponies. Yes, I am that much of a callous bitch.

I think a lot of donors were doing that, yeah. Pony h8er.

Well I love 'em, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Not unless it's been very professionally braised, of course.

Now, when is someone going to start up the "Ianto Wants A Bidet" donations page? I'd be all over that like a one-night stand at a convention.

I'll see if I can find any plumbing-based charities that would be happy to take your money.

You could buy a toilet (http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped-diy).

£2000 for ponies? Awesome.

That's a tonne of money, isn't it?

Har Har Har.


Congrats on a job well done.

I tried to donate to the Pony fund, but apparently they don't take American Express? Do let me know if I missed an option somewhere. I loved it when I read they were getting two horses -- it's great to hear that the donations are going toward something so concrete.
