happy landfill: sariagray replied to your post: You do realize that you’re incredible…
There was this interesting split – people seemed to go to Sherlock or Supernatural or Glee, with a few other lesser-known fandoms thrown in. The Sherlock people seemed to be the people who liked Domestic Torchwood, the Supernatural people seemed to be those who enjoyed the hunting of creepy and mysterious things, and the Glee people seemed to be the ones who kept asking, “So, why didn’t we get a musical episode?!“ (And who appreciated the ensemble cast of Torchwood the most/or who liked writing Romantic Torchwood.)
So it wasn’t weird, completely, once I thought about it – but there was definitely a moment of, “What the heck just happened?!”
I keep thinking I’d like to reinvest in Torchwood, but the fandom has less of a chance of coming back to life than Ianto does.
I don’t know much about Glee anymore – I enjoyed the first season and lost interest in the second. What I do know is from your posts, basically – an every time I see pictures of Rachel and Kurt, I think, “D’awww, they look like mini-Gwen and mini-Ianto,“ and I enjoy laboring under that delusion.
Reblogging because this is oddly accurate, though I have to add I was also sucked into Supernatural because of the crushing angst and the fucked up humanity, which I have long relished in Torchwood.
What if we plug for a group Torchwood rewatch on the Torchwood and related tags and see if we pick up any interest? Pick a day/days each week that isn’t/aren’t in conflict with popular shows airing now, when anyone who wants to can sit down as a group and watch the show together? Kind of like a book club. Anyone who does can tag thoughts with a specific tag, and we can talk to other fans and maybe breathe some new life into Torchwood fandom.
I’m up for that. Like a livestream or something? Might be hard to coordinate but we could offer a couple of different times.
I’m still watching Torchwood for the first time but I would be interested.
