See Me Be Sentimental

[eumelia]

I was looking at fandomsecrets and someone made a secret, probably in reaction to the renewed bruhaha in Torchwood Fandom.

I got really chocked up reading it.

It's also really pretty:



Clicking on the pic will take you to the thread on F!S.

As a good friend said to me when I showed 'em this secret:
It's amazing how people don't realize that by freaking out about CoE/Ianto they're actually policing queerness, not "championing" it.

All I can say to that is "YES".

I have been following the debates (obviously) and I'll probably write my own thing on the slash-m/m thing - I've already done my bit for TW Fandom.

I also think Ianto is specific-person-sexual, I mean his devotion to Lisa would also exemplify his attitude, no?

Waiting for it! :)

Ianto is specific-person-sexual
Yes, that's what I meant in the first line. His devotion to Jack mirrors his devotion to Lisa. (It makes me a bit sad about Ianto and his ideas of self-worth, which seem to me rather law, but it makes me only more interesting a character.)
