Jack/Ianto promo photo for Torchwood S3.

I can't stop laughing. It's sort-of like Jack went "hay! let's pose like I'm a quarterback and you're the prom queen!" And Ianto's expression as the shutter goes is "why do YOU get to stand there? you're not the top!"

I think GDL fails at "this is my serious world-saving face for use in promo shots". He always looks disgruntled. But not disgruntled in an "i'm surrounded by idiots" way, more of an "I think you just farted" way.

I wish they'd gone the whole hog with the cheesy couple photography. Had one of them sitting on a chair and both beaming. (For example, like this! Gwen could be the floaty angelic child.)



ETA: I KNEW IT, YOU'RE ALL OBSESSED WITH FLUFF.

I understand you would do this from a desire to do good, but THROUGH you it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine!!!

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT ANYWAY!

Oh, Ianto's little face.

Okay, I must seriously attend to the list of icons I must have. If I don't have a Gwen and a Ianto icon by June whatever when Torchwood 3 screens, I'll be a massively sad bunny.

There can never be too much well-written fluff.

I think part of GDL's expression is channeling Ianto: "You better not be wrinkling my jacket back there."

I know, it's so cute...it's like he's trying for angsty but just coming up with irritated. Meanwhile John just looks like Ben Stiller from "Zoolander" (as usual).

I am alternately laughing and D:-ing at that floaty child picture. OMG WHERE did you find that masterpiece?

Yeah, Ianto is really appalled by the whole thing. I just noticed that he and the baby seem to be looking at the same thing, although what could be outside the picture that is more horrible than what's inside it, I don't know.

I love the pasty Brit next to the tanned "American". He really does look more worried at what John/Jack is going to do next than anything else.

Jack is not embracing him; he is RESTRAINING him, in a firm yet tender fashion! Because I am still convinced that Ianto is going to go evil within the next two seasons. Oh, yes.
