THE DEFINITIVE FANON GUIDE TO JACK AND IANTO, PART THE FIRST

[tencrush]

Now that we've all calmed down a bit, it's time for some science. I have put together a wee poll to find out what is going on in ALL YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEADS. There have been many things we haven't been told about Jack and Ianto, most of us have filled in the blanks with out own personal fanon, and I'd like to know what, on the whole, that fanon comprises. On with the science...



[Poll #1171935]



If you have any other questions you think need adressing, let me know and we'll do another one before we start analysing numbers, yeah?

What clues? Where are these so-called clues?

[tencrush]

I shall do a brief interlude and pause my mega-fanon-skience project to write up why I think Ianto's family are dead. IN THE MORNING.

I am starting to miss the Game and my brain is starting to poke me to go back. Is good, yes?

[off_coloratura]

I look forward to hearing your case.

Yes! *does a teensy dance*

Two bits off the top of my head -- in Something Borrowed, Ianto talks about his father in the past tense, in From out of the Rain, again talking about how his father used to take him to the Electro - so why isn't his dad there? They don't go to the Electro for work, Gwen and Owen just go with Ianto because they have nothing better to do that evening, apparently. (One of the many problems with FOOTR, especially given that it comes right after Gwen's wedding)

[off_coloratura]

He could be estranged from them (probably unlikely, considering how he talks about his dad), or only his father could be dead. Or they could live in another city.

I'm fairly confident about Ianto's father being dead, and he hasn't referred to any other family members, nor does Jack in the brief "bio" we got in Fragments, which is suggestive too. We know from FOOTR that Ianto grew up in Cardiff, "local knowledge" and all LOL.

You're just grasping at straws now to preemptively argue a point I haven't even made yet.

You're such a brat.

[eandh99.livejournal.com]

I'm 45, it's been a while since anyone called me that, sorry I jumped into your argument.

[tencrush]

I wasn't talking to you, honest! I'd never dare call a complete stranger a brat.

I did reply to the right comment, didn't I?
*checks*
Oh, thank God.

[eandh99.livejournal.com]

No worries, I did jump in - and it's interesting, because I'm totally convinced Ianto's immediate family is dead, but I don't have a lot of evidence.

[off_coloratura]

Okay, I can wait till tomorrow to poke holes in your argument.

*sticks out her tongue at you*
