So I’ve written my first Superwood Fic!
Ghosts and Demons: When Torchwood came into the warehouse the last thing they expected was a demon hunter that looked like a ghost from the past.
Much thanks to awabubbles for reading it over and jazzforthecaptain for reblogging the gifset that sparked this idea. And really they’re both like my superwood godparents or something, if you’re interested in superwood at all you should look at them both.
(and if you don’t know what superwood is, it’s Supernatural and Torchwood)

Thank you very much for the kind tags. And this came about because the same actress plays Lisa and Tamara. Glad you enjoyed!
we always sob and cry over ianto’s death
how come no one cries over the other people who died at the Thames House?
Mothers
daughters
sons
husbands
wives
fathers
So many innocent people were killed. So many kids lost fathers or mothers (Maybe even both.) Mothers and Fathers buried their kids. Wives buried their husbands. Husbands buried their wives. People with so much potential died. And NOBODY not ONE person ever cries about them or talks about them.
Also, I’ll be over here bandaging up my heart nbd.
I’m still traumatized by Frobisher and his family, no matter how many times I see that scene – and I can’t help but wonder how many other families went the same way once it became obvious that soldiers were going to take their kids one way or another. How many parents were killed trying to protect their own kids? We don’t know.
Children of Earth told a private story – Torchwood’s story – but it also gave us enough information to tell a terrible story about humanity on a massive scale.
Yes I cried over Ianto, but the part that actually gave me cold shivers and goosebumps? When Johnny and his mates started fighting back. Because they’re just people trying to protect their families and their kids.
I just found out that I have followers who don’t know about Monty Python. Which is frankly unacceptable. Here, have the entirety of Monty Python and The Holy Grail.
Bless you
You are my new favourite person
Honour on you
Honour on your family
Honour on your cow
it’s the whole fucking movie bless your soul
Blessed is this post, which bringeth, to thy followers. knowledge of the holy hand-grenade of antioch

This gif accurately describes me at my desk today. I keep randomly squeeing. Less then 24 hours to go. I don’t know how I’ll sleep tonight.
