I MAINLINED THEM TODAY. HERE ARE MAH THOUGHTS AS I LISTENED. THEY ARE NOT VERY THINKY AT ALL.



Asylum:
1. KNIFE THROWING. Gwen is so put upon. PUT UPON!
2. JESUS GWEN, WHAT IS WITH YOU AND CHOCOLATE?? Oh wait, all that choccie=Gwen shit is askverse. DAMMIT.
3. "PROBABLY FROM NEWPORT, THEN."
4. RED IS NOW THE COLOUR OF ALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS.
5. Jaunty motorbike sex must happen.
6. I JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT I GAVE TW A "SAFEHOUSE" IN MY GENDERBENDER FIC! YES! I KNEW THEY HAD SEVERAL!
7. Oh! Gwen! You pwned Andy! NOOOOOOOOO! Andy, I love you so much.
8. FREEZE! GET YOUR HANDS ON THE FLOOR AND UHM. I LEFT THE KEYS IN THE BIKE!
9. JACK LIKES ANDY'S STYLE. Jack, you know you don't want to retcon ANDAY.
10. Wait. Torchwood saved Frieda? What? Oh.
11. Not my favorite, play, no.

The Golden Age:
1. IANTO IS IN POSITION. LOLOR5. I WENT THERE.
2. TORCHWOOD INDIA? WTF!
3. "Not in her early twenties and carrying a blunderbuss?"
4. "Would you mind if I had a coffee?" "Very much! Pour him a lemonade!"
5. "It's good old fashioned, CHLOROFORM!" oh snap!
6. Oh, mature and awesome Ianto.
7. What the shit? The whole globe back to 1924? WOT?
8. When Jack is being all "AAAAAAHRGG I BET YOUR WIFE IS PRETTY" and shit, I LOLed. JB sounds like he can't stop laughing. "I BET YOU’D NEVER FOR GET HER BIRTHDAY HAAHAAAHAHAAHAHAOHTHEPAIN."
9. James. James, James, James, you let me down, man.

The Dead Line:
1. NO TIME FOR COFFEE? No wai, Jack!
2. Jack does not get trendy.
3. IT WAS THE SEVENTIES. MOVIES WERE SO BAD THE MAKING OUT WAS GUARANTEED. Jack, I like the cut of your jib, sir!
4. YES RHYS. I need a mug of tea and a trucker's breakfast.
5. TEAM TORCHWOOD, YES RHYS.
6. I LOVE Gwen's little speech about how Torchwood works by following trails.
7. Laura Croft ref. FTW.
8. THE SPEECH: Canon proof that Jack sleeps. Canon proof that they sleep together. Like in the same bed. THAT HE HOPES JACK WAS DREAMING ABOUT HIM.<--AMAND-R IS DED.
9. (Secret confession—I would bang Ianto so hard. I never thought about it before, but Jesus IANTO. I LURV YOU. YOU KNOW, LIKE A FICTIONAL CONSTRUCT)
10. OMG yeah, I can see the trouble with Jack being in a trance, like, FOREVER.
11. HEY! I WAS THE SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.
12. Holy crap declaration of love.
13. Yeah, this one was mah fav. You know it was.

I have a sick confession: when Jack suggested that Ianto would look good in a mexican mustache? The first thing that popped into my head was Dirty Sanchez.



eta: HOLY SHIT THIS POST ASPLODED.

[godofstrife.livejournal.com]

Hehe, your thoughts made me lol so fucking hard.

I now need to read your genderbender fic. Where is it?

Re: *in ur journal commenting the shit out of my afterglow*

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahhaha, someone mentioned the buzzing sly sounds in TDL, and I LOLed. COVERED IN BEES! HOW DID I MISS THAT?

The gender bender fic is HUGE and not done yet. Ask Foxy. It's HUGE.

"8. THE SPEECH: Canon proof that Jack sleeps. Canon proof that they sleep together. Like in the same bed."

The Who-verse has a very uneasy relationship with its canon, and this isn't even onscreen-canon. But . . . oh, oh yes!

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

No - not an uneasy relationship - they are very clear, they don't believe in canon. It may have happened, it may have been rewritten due to time travel or maybe it never happened...

Either way we have proof that right now Jack and Ianto share a bed regularly...

[phaetonschariot.livejournal.com]

lol my reaction post has a bit about the strange idea that Jack doesn't sleep. There was a single throwaway line when Gwen was asking him personal questions, and then two episodes later WE SAW HIM SLEEP. Come on, guys! haha

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

I was so *SQUEE* Declaration of love and canon Ianto means more to Jack than a handy lay. Yeah!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

INORITE?! LOVE AND LOVE!

[lawsontl.livejournal.com]

Jack never said he never slept, just that he didn't need to very much (or some other equivocating line of BS he gave to Gwen early on). And then like two eps later they SHOW him sleeping, so I never quite got where people came up with the Never Sleeps Absolutely Never concept. He does. Not well, mind, and apparently nekkid, so um, who paid attention to the sleeping part? And, dude, he must be from the future - such tidy armpits! No deodorant dingleberries!

I'd bang Ianto fer sure. But I so get my rocks off on geeks. And guns. Geeks with guns? Stick a fork in me.

[kickair8p.livejournal.com]

I thought that line was "I don't sleep." Never liked it though (sleepless humans go crazy), so I'm glad it's been made clear that Jack sleeps.

~

[phaetonschariot.livejournal.com]

*gives an Ianto wif gun icon*

Of course Jack sleeps naked. :P There's a fic somewhere where Ianto's musing about how Jack just wears clothes as a practical covering to keep warm, and wonders what Torchwood would be like if they were based in Brazil, and maybe that was where Torchwood 4 went. It makes me lol quite a bit.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just kind of took his line to Gwen and the sleep int Small Worlds and turned it into alterna-sleep.

I WOULD HIT THAT SHIT LIKE THE FIN OF AN ANGRY COD.

[mrsalemp.livejournal.com]

You want to know what the funniest thing in Asylum was for me? Well I'm going to tell you - My sister and I used to play "Josh is a ghost" with my brother. And by that I mean we used to run around taunting him about being a ghost and how sad it was and if only he could do this and that...And by 'used to' I mean ever since we were little up through last month.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

And by 'used to' I mean ever since we were little up through last month.

I LOLed.

[beesandbrews.livejournal.com]

Jack just told Gwen he didn't sleep so she wouldn't ask questions about his hole in the office. Why does no one else get that??

And yeah, The Dead Line was the bestest of the three plays.

[phaetonschariot.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. WE SAW HIM SLEEPING TWO EPISODES LATER. SHE WAS ASKING HIM PERSONAL QUESTIONS, WE KNOW HOW HE SHRUGS THOSE OFF.

er. yes. sort of a personal quibble of mine. :P

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

Oh and I also mainlined them today!!

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

How totally was each of these audio plays better than the previous one?

And, oh, Ianto talking to Jack in his trance. And you could hear the tears. Oh, Ianto. And Jack. Awww.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WHEN IT AIRED, I WAS OFFLINE, BUT I SENSED A TREMOUR IN THE FORCE, AS IF A THOUSAND FANGIRLS OPENED THEIR MOUTHS AND SQUEED.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

your thoughts are like my thoughts only numbered and in order

[used_songs]

LOL

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I like the idea that Jack sleeps less than other people.

Actually I love sleeping. If I could live forever, I'd hibernate in the winter. I'd stuff my cheeks full of nuts first though.

WALNUTS, okay?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

WALNUTS? FUCK THAT SHIT. CASHEWS.

Yeah, i think it's important that Jack DOESN"T sleep a lot in my personal canon, since he is essentially by himself in the Hub at night, and I think he monitors the rift by himself.

But you know all about mah personal theory of Jack's immortality.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i like to believe he doesn't *need* to sleep as much, but that he can and does when there's time and he feels like it

also
nuts
*snort*

i would hibernate, too
winter is NOT a time to be alive

[pogrebin.livejournal.com]

DID YOUR SQUEE SHIFT MOUNTAINS. YEA, MIGHTILY, IT DID.

HOLY SHIT DECLARATION OF LOVE, YOU BET YOUR PERT LITTLE ARSE MISSY!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

THIS IS HOW I WILL DECLARE MY LOVE FOR ALL FUTURE SO'S. I WILL DO IT WHEN THEY ARE IN A COMA.

[pogrebin.livejournal.com]

PLUS YES, JACK DOES SLEEP. THANKYOU FANDOM FOR BELIEVING THAT JACK HARKNESS IS A LYING LIAR WHO LIESSSSSS!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I didn't realise that this was going to be such a crazy topic! I'll be honest-- I like the idea of Jack needing less sleep. He has an energy that animates him in crazy ways, and sleep might be one of the things that's affected. I also thnk that his mind is probably always on, like he can't stop it, since he's essentially a live wire. Like Jack is my cell phone, eternally charged.

THAT said, I hate when I read fics where he and Ianto sack out for 8 hours. i just don't think it works that way. but I also hate fics in which he doesn't sleep at all, because HELLO. SMALL WORLDS.
