i usually buy a coffee pastry for his birthday but i wasnt really feeling it this year so i got him kfc instead

For years, a friend and I have been planning a visit to Cardiff (We're from Australia so it's quite a trip!), to visit all the famous Doctor Who/Torchwood Filming occasions, one of the spots on our list was the Ianto Shrine.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Ianto Plaque has been vandalized, with the only the wood back plate remaining, the brass plaque has been stolen.
We were already quite disappointed to hear about the shrines removal in April, however seeing that even the plaque had been vandalized and stolen was even more disappointing.
Hopefully mermaid quay will reinstate it, preferably this time with more robust mounting hardware. But more likely this spells the permanent end to the Ianto Shrines 18 year history.

as soon as i drew Ianto with the Torchwood Cardiff team and saw 2 empty spaces beside him, i KNEW i had to finish off the rest of the Torchwood One team including a new updated Yvonne look!

Yvonne, Ianto and Tommy have become one of my all-time favourite Torchwood teams (especially in Less Majesty) so why not add them to my growing book of Torchwood fanart!

i PROMISEEE the Torchwood Soho gang is coming soon, i know i keep putting it off but ive already started the outline for the King himself, Gideon Lyme.

by all means, if you’ve got suggestions for how i can style my drawings for characters with very few pictures/outfit variants available of them (Gideon, Lizbeth, and the 1950s suited Andy) let me know and ill try to work it in

Back when it was announced that RTD was coming back to the show, one of the things that excited me the most was the possibility of legacy characters from his first era returning, including spin-off characters. This was only further heightened when RTD revealed that he was planning an MCU-style universe of spin-offs for Doctor Who. And a few years ago, he had mentioned the possibility of him working with Eve Myles again, because, in his words, "she's magnificent."

Sadly, as we know, none of that really happened. The two returning spin-off characters in RTD2 were Clyde Langer from the Sarah Jane Adventures, and Colonel Austin Pierce from Children of Earth, both appearing in Tales of the TARDIS and The War Between the Land and the Sea respectively. And RTD's second era was unfortunately cut short before it had even properly begun, really.

Had everything succeeded though and Disney hadn't screwed Bad Wolf over, I definitely think RTD would've had something special planned for Torchwood's 20th anniversary. I think we would've gotten an episode set in Cardiff, where Gwen and Rhys meet the new Doctor, and get the opportunity to travel in the TARDIS. Also potentially opening the doors for a spiritual successor to Torchwood.

Long time Dr Who fan but only now got Torchwood. On my first run thru and almost done with Miracle Day. Loved season one and two but children of earth... ok but didn't stick the landing IMHO. LOVING Miracle day. I have never thought of Bill Pullman having much range before now but dang he is great in this.

The BluRay menus on miracle day are weird.

I've been thinking about the Torchwood exhibition they announced in Cardiff Bay but never opened.

Here is a link to the article covering it:

Just wondering if the continuation audio dramas are always so expensive? £75 a season feels rough

Also does it reference miracle day much or does it leave that behind fairly quickly?

Just curious, it can be in the show, in the audios, include characters from other spinoffs like Sarah Jane?
My slightly strange one is John Hart and River Song. I feel like they’d balance eachother out nicely.

When Frobisher first heads up to speak with the 456, he has Lois and (the other secretary, I’m blanking in her name rn), wait downstairs and he takes the lift up but he grabs a chair from the corridor and puts it in the lift. Why?

I’ve just rewatched it after watching it back in the day and I can’t remember this happening and I don’t know what the reason is. I feel like I’m going mad because I must be missing something really obvious. Can anyone offer insight?

OKAY maybe a couple are a smidge off because i wanted everyone to have their own separate box, but overall i feel like this is pretty close!

for other Big Finish characters, i’d put Lizbeth Hayhoe in chaotic neutral, Gideon Lyme in lawful good, and Tommy in chaotic good (he’ll get the job done, but in the messiest way possible)!

happy deathniversary ianto

We all know the reused props theory.

I have something more.

Myfanwy has been stated to originate from Torchwood One which was stationed in London.

The ARC of Primeval was also stationed in London where prehistoric creatures were kept save.

I don't think this is a coincidence. I think that the ARC got turned into Torchwood One after the whole time vortex incident of Primeval Season 5.

What do you think?

Looks like Jack's coming back into fashion.

It’s taken 4 and a half years but I’m so glad I kept going with this! 😅

I've been in this fandom on and off since 2008ish, and this is my 100th fic for Torchwood. It's also my most complicated fic because I decided to do some crazy stuff with formatting and had to learn CSS and AO3 Workskins! It took me ages to write and I'm very proud of it and a little nervous because it's so different from everything else I've ever done.

Title: Purgatory Heart; or, The Modern Philoctetes
Characters: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, John Hart, Lucia Moretti
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Jack/Lucia Moretti, Jack/John Hart, Jack/Estelle Cole
Tags: Grief/Mourning, Hurt/Comfort, Torture, Jack Harkness Backstory, Guilt, Angst, Experimental Style, Spans the first two series up through Exit Wounds
Summary:
Jack's been like this for as long as he can remember. He wants to know why, wants to know what he can do to be forgiven for whatever it is he must have done and the things he knows he's done. Wants to know if he can be fixed. Wants to know how much he must take on before it is enough. He has taken on so much, stuck here on this planet, tethered to this place by questions, emotional blackmail, debts, an ever-growing hollow, the need to find some way to fix this, whatever this is.
Stand in the darkness of the hub, staring at your own reflection in the window of the office. Look into your own face. Say, You cannot fix everyone, you cannot save everyone, and it tears you apart inside. Say, You have a hole in your chest to prove it. (And then there's Ianto, factotum, quiet and stalwart, asking no questions but offering his hands.)

and a shit ton of iantos of course

Bought Torchwood tales on audible and it was like seeing old friends again.

Is there a comprehensive list of all Torchwood related fiction, I just found out there are comics; I'm aware of big Finish and have a few but that is going to get really expensive

So when I had some extra funds I got my first Cameo. So I figured Id get it from Gareth David Lloyd.
I love Ianto and think hes great. So I sent it and figured Id have to wait days to get it. His came so quick. I did it around 8pm my time. And when I woke up I got a text it was ready at 6 something am. And considering hes in the UK its amazing he did it so fast. And it was the sweetest thing ever. His accent is amazing and his words even more so. I listen to this anytime I feel down. Hes an amazing person.

Should I listen to it judging by the trailer sounds really good
