torchwood was like lets make an episode where a tits out ass out cyberwoman punches a pterodactyl clean across a room while her bf gets his face sucked by gods favourite slut in a flooded labratory except its actually cpr like irl cpr not cpr that becomes a kiss ok like i just think it would be funny if the actors kissed with tongue and then we pretended thats how u do cpr irl but also lets make this episode more emotionally devastating than haunting of hill house

#torchwood #cyberwoman #liveblogging #how are they doing this to me. how are they doing thi s to me #they were fucking insane for this what did i jusr watch #im in actual shock im in a shocked state

i know this is a near impossible request but does someone have a reasonably high-definition picture of the badges owen has on his lab coat? i’d like to make myself one

#my post #torchwood #owen harper #‘high definition’ it’s 2007. i’m not getting high definition. i just want to s #see* #what it says #i’m specifically referring to the colourful one but i’ll accept any and all #(EDIT: this has been solved in the notes! i cant see the reblogs themselves but i replied to it so if you click on my most recent reblog you #should be able to see it there if you cant like me)

[theyreallgaylol]

I really think Owen would take in a plate of edibles like brownies or sumn and just. Not tell anyone they were edibles. Feels like that'd be something he'd do lmao

#they would all benefit from it tbh #torchwood #owen harper #cheese thoughts #lowkey inspired by the brownie scene(s) in perks of being a wallflower lmao #ianto would be charlie in that situation i feel like 🥲

#I think about him often #captain jack harkness #I haven’t watched torchwood yet and I’m only partway thru s2 of doctor who #like as in 9’s season as season one & 10’s first season as season two

[hyperionshipping]

I need everyone to understand though that Tricks just never calls Jack Jack. It's always Captain. Sometimes (my) Captain. I think Jack teases him for it and also flip flops between wondering if it's devotion, respect, or if it's none of that and it's only disrespect. Only Tricks knows!

#s/i: doctor who #would he ever say Jack? idk ask me in 2-3 months when i speedwatch torchwood ok? okay thanks

[oldtvandcomics]

Oh look, they made a Netflix show about that one Torchwood episode.

#No I don't know anything about this series I just thought that it's funny how it is the exact same premise #to be fair it is not THAT original #pretty sure that time travelling planes have been around since airtravel (more or less) #Doctor Who had one in the 80's #torchwood #Manifest

[halflingkima]

the thing abt mft!who (similar to bbc sher) is that i think it loves the source material, but not at face value. it feels like "oh it couldve been so good IF" [they had x resources or y storytelling etc] instead of "it was damn good as-is."

cuz i think there's a thin line between a) loving the source material and building upon it and b) respecting the source material and updating it. the former's main focus is on "what could've been" while the latter "yes, and"s.

source: i'm a certified hater

#this post inspired by the last(?) river scene which is the most i've felt for river's entire storyline since her intro #bc it has me thinkin 'oh they couldve been so good IF' which is a prime fanfic thought #but it's absolutely *not* a charitable thought toward the river plotline bc i hated it the whole time #which is a prime example of the 'what couldve been' line of thinking #vs my personal example of yes and is doctor/rose; i was absolutely picking up what they were putting down and i think we just missed some s #enes #also all of torchwood feels like a good 'yes and' #thoughts #currently watching tag #who knows how much sense this makes i'm Tipsy #also my personal 'yes and' example was gonna be glee bc it was the only thing i could think of. until i remembered rtd

I love that Torchwood acknowledges in Miracle Day that Jack Harkness has to deal with the burden of majority of his lovers being from a time period where they are downright ashamed of being with him.

He's also shown as a flirt who doesn't care who he flirts with, but I can't help but wonder if the fact he can't die-thus doesn't have to fully face the consequences-be a reason why he's so reckless about being openly queer in homophobic times.

I honestly wish they went into this more as even in 2000's Ianto is still hiding the fact they're together from people like Owen-someone he's friends with and has shown no disdain or disgust at Jack's queerness.

i give you the torchwood polycule (simplified)

i only included characters that were either in multiple episodes, had a significant impact on the plot of the show, or were with their partner(s) long-term.

*LONG POST WARNING*

What your favourite New Who Companion says about you (absolutely no offence meant towards anyone, this is just for fun):

Rose: Either the most vanilla person alive, or an RTD era purist. Has spent years fighting for the honor of the RTD era. Ships Ten and Rose to the degree that they shudder at the thought of the Doctor having a relationship with someone else. Is constantly at war with Amy stans. Part of the reason for the RTD enjoyer vs Moffat fan civil war. Usually nice in real life, and quite nostalgic for the Tennant era, so usually OK to be friends with. Unless they say Mickey was treated fairly, at which point, you should run.

Mickey: One of the most kind-hearted, empathetic people, who saw how Mickey was mistreated by Rose in S2 and immediately just wanted to check if he was OK. Is able to hold decent relations with Rose stans due to Mickey's character development after the relationship, and has a surprisingly strong alliance with Rory fans. Was gutted when they heard about Noel Clarke's horrible behaviour and actions.

Adam: Let's be real, we all forgot this guy existed and for good reason.

Captain Jack: Every night, they lie in bed, haunted by the ghost of Torchwood. Loved seeing Jack again in S12, but felt disappointed after his lack of presence in Revolution of the Daleks. Has modelled several aspects of their personality on the Captain, and has the dating life (or lack thereof) to prove it. Cried at the deaths of Ianto and John Barrowman's career.

Martha: Basically Rose fans, except with slightly more indie music taste. Either that, or a person who knows how integral Martha is to 10's character arc. Has attempted to defend the "Space Jesus" scene a couple of times, and cried with happiness when Harbo Wholmes said that it worked in his review. Has a bit of a patchy relationship with Rose stans due to the Doctor's rebound arc, gets along better with Donna stans due to the fact that S4 acknowledged that 10 mistreated Martha. Generally has good taste and is nice to be around, just don't mention how undeveloped her relationship with Tom was.

Donna: Either a child of the late 90s/early 2000s who had the joy of watching New Who at it's peak in 2008, a person who really appreciates great character writing and an excellent series, or someone who just wanted a break from the companion having a romantic subplot. Often gets into heated arguments with Amy stans by (correctly) saying that Series 4 was better than Series 5. Uses Donna's funny dialogue and quips to hide the fact they are still recovering from one of the cruellest companion exits in the show. Generally nice, but very defensive of The Doctor's Daughter.

Wilf: I love these guys. Knows that a) Wilf is the single best character in the entirety of New Who and b) he counts as a companion. Has the best possible taste, and is an absolute joy to be around as a result of it. An emotional wreck after every single rewatch of The End of Time, especially now that the legendary Bernard Cribbins has left us. Has excellent relations with Donna stans, and was similarly overjoyed when they heard about the 60th. Refuses to admit that The End of Time would have possibly worked better as a 90 minute special.

Amy: Definitely has followed the eons-old teaching of "gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss" at some point. Refuses to admit A Good Man Goes to War was mid and that Amy really badly mistreated our sweet prince Rory in a large chunk of S5. Is really happy that Karen Gillan made it big in Hollywood. Friendly unless you say you prefer Rose to Amy. Could not be comforted after that cameo in Time of the Doctor.

Rory: Their favourite episode is usually The Girl Who Waited. Loyal, friendly, introverted and lovable, they of course identify with Rory's slightly long-suffering but accepting and funny character. Understandably annoyed at how Amy mistreated Rory in S5, but happy that S6 & 7A fixed that marriage. Thanks to Rory waiting for 2000 years, their bar for any personal relationship has been set insanely high. Celebrated when the BBC actually allowed Arthur Darvill to style his hair in S7A. Had to check Rory was definitely dead at the end of Angels Take Manhattan due to Moffat killing him whenever more tension was needed in a story.

River Song: Divided into two groups. Those who like River Song's more nuanced appearances in Silence in the Library, A Good Man Goes to War and The Husbands of River Song are awesome. Those who prefer the episodes that Moffat wrote with one hand, less so. Was overjpyed to see the Moffat Era reappraisal of 2020, only to be slightly disappointed when people said S6 was his weakest series. Wierdly enough, gets along nicely with all other companion stans. Has definitely said "Hello sweetie" to their partner/partners/friends/pets. If they prefer 12 and River to 11 and River, pass them the aux on a long journey (trust me on this one).

Clara: From my personal experience, there is a 60% chance that they are a closeted bisexual. Doesn't get why Clara was so overhated, especially in S9. Is wierdly OK with admitting that Victorian Clara was slightly more interesting to begin with, but knows that the character worked so well in 12's era. If they ship 11 and Clara, keep an eye on them. They haven't fully earned your trust yet.

Bill: Heterosexuality was never an option. Gets along well with Clara stans, as they both know how much the 12th Doctor's era s l a p p e d. Had their emotions mangled during the S10 finale, but fortunately came out intact thanks to that puddle and a happy-ish ending. Loved that Bill called 12 out on his bullshit and asked all the trivial questions we were all thinking. Singlehandedly drove the Moffat Era reappraisal over quarantine. Has the best fashion sense out of all the stans.

Nardole: A terrifying enigma. Looked at all the companions with complex stories, interesting arcs and major development, but instead went with the comic relief. Yes, Nardole is funny and a great support character, but... er... how? They can be nice. They can also be fans of Little Britain, which is a red flag. It's a roll of the dice.

Graham: Bradley Walsh was the highlight of the slightly undervalued S11, and they know it. Definitely has the vibe of being 10+ years older than they actually are in terms of attitude, but in the best way. Has definitely owned a pair of cords in their life. Goes into Doctor Who just looking for a fun hour of entertainment rather than lore. Great to hang out with. They always bring snacks.

Ryan: Tries to ignore the fact that Ryan has the most fucking insulting depiction of dyspraxia in any form of media (sorry, I have dyspraxia, and the way it was treated in S11 & 12 just really rubbed me the wrong way), but is also helpful and really in favour of spreading awareness. We're cool for now.

Yaz: One of the nicest, most well-intentioned people you will ever meet, always defending the underdog, supporting others and just being sweeter than a tea with six sugars, but also a master of illusion. Has read so many fan fictions, seen so much fan art and shipped Thasmin so much that they have tricked themselves into thinking Yaz is a three-dimensional, well-written character whose story was not completely made up on the go by Chibnall. Little more than a defeated husk after Power of the Doctor, being rewarded for all those years of fanfics, shipping and defending the era with a couple of longing stares and some hastily written "will they/won't they" scenes before 13 unceremoniously booted Yaz out of the TARDIS. Thinks Demons of the Punjab is the best 13 episode when it is really The Haunting of Villa Diodati.

Dan: Is more of a fan of John Bishop and his charisma than they are a fan of Dan, or is a terminally online person who thinks quoting "Evil Dan" videos makes them the funniest human alive (it really doesn't).
