So, stolen from
invisible_lift because this looked like fun and I'm useless at posting at the moment....
Day 01 - Your favourite Torchwood member
My favourite member of Torchwood is kind of hard to decide on. There's not a single member of the Torchwood team I don't like. Yes, I like Owen (love Owen), yes I like Gwen, I like Tosh.
I know everyone is sitting there going, 'you're going to say Jack, I can see you about to say it..., I know you love Jack...'. Jack should be the logical choice. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he makes me cry. He's larger than life and fantastic.
But I don't think he's my favourite. Ianto is, Ianto makes the most sense to me out of all the characters, I can identify the most with and it makes his my favourite. He's closest to me in age, 4 years older, he's a kid that's probably brighter than most but nothing amazingly exceptional like Tosh, he's from a shitty council estate and the first thing he does when he's old enough is get the hell out of there. That's what I did, I grew up in a massive series of council estates in London. All but two people I went to Primary School with had kids by my first year of Uni. Yeah. It was a double intake school. Pretty much my ambitions were, 'get the fuck out of here' and that's what I did, 18, out the door and down to Brighton, job done.
Out of all the characters he's the most real, he's not 'omg must be doctor, must be overachieving genius, must MAKE EVERYONE FEEL'. He's just floating through life until Torchwood eats him up and spits him out. Argh, this is so hard to put into words. Ianto's real, Ianto's trying, Ianto's fucked up, Ianto loves Jack, Ianto lets himself get swept away, Ianto barely dares to hope, Ianto is a badass, Ianto pulls sulky faces, Ianto acts like he learned his 'manners' on tv, Ianto draws me in and makes me love him, makes me feel for him, and makes me cry into my pasta (shit you not, I watched Day 4 as it aired with dinner, got snot and tears all over my fucking pasta).
So yeah, Ianto.
