practically jailbait

[kaydeefalls]

Oh, my gosh, I can't get over how freaking young Ianto looks in the beginning of season one. LOOK AT THAT FACE. (See icon.) I'd forgotten how much people's facial features change and mature in their early-to-mid twenties. The rest of the team mostly looks the same -- okay, so Jack in season one of Doctor Who does look a bit younger than he does in CoE, but it's not particularly dramatic. But IANTO, holy shit, he really grew up over the past couple of years.

I badly want to ruffle his hair in "Everything Changes", you have no idea.

Um, yeah, renewed Torchwood kick shows no sign of letting up anytime soon, although I'm mainly focusing on finishing up my Merlin vid right now. But anyway. Oh, show.

(Icon keywords: ianto looks so goddamn young. SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT HIM.)

Word. I am always so freaked out by that.

It's a bit unnerving. Makes one wonder if he starting wearing the suits in a desperate attempt to be taken seriously as a grown-up.

It's always startling to me how that happens. And it seems to be more pronounced in men....or maybe that's just where I pay most attention. :D

Are you still planning to do that....er...thing I can't remember the name you gave it....for post S3 fics? Because I think I came up with something and it's begging to be written. Actually large chunks are already...in rough form. It's been eating my brain away for a week.

It's a bit more pronounced in men -- I think that as women tend to hit puberty earlier, their faces also tend to mature at a somewhat younger age. Although there are some notable exceptions -- Scully in S1 X-Files always looks absurdly young to me.

I've been thinking about it, but I've already seen a bunch of similarly minded challenges/comms started up, and I'm really not sure my idea is different enough to warrant its own thing. Besides, doesn't look like anyone needs much prompting to write the fix-it fic. :D Looking forward to yours!

INORITE?

OMG.

Also: Torchwood kicks. I approve. *cheerleads*

GAH HE IS SUCH A BABY LOOK AT HIS ICKLE FACE.

[curriejean.livejournal.com]

Glad I'm not the only one. By S3, he almost seemed a different character. Waittaminute... maybe it WAS A WEIRD SEMI CLONE.

Facechange is now denial!canon. In my brain. :P

Srsly though, it was making that FMV that really smacked me in the face with the difference.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

He does look rather different in S3 -- partly because I'm pretty sure GDL put on some weight between seasons. His face looks rounder. It's cute. :)

[insixeighttime.livejournal.com]

So true! I was watching S1 before work, and then COE with Raisa before the show, and it's quite a difference! However, I can also see it with Jack - not necessarily growing old, but aging.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

I can definitely see it with Jack, but it's much less dramatic a change. A few more lines in his face here and there, yeah, aging. But Ianto practically looks like a different person.

*grabs Ianto*
*huggles him*
*ruffles his hair*
* fixes hair and huggles him again*
*steals the rest of the team away so Ianto and Jack can do some 'research' with that stopwatch*
All in the name of saving the world!

Damn right. :D

I badly want to ruffle his hair in "Everything Changes", you have no idea.

Hahaha, I know!

Also, Merlin vid, wheee! I am very excited about that. :D

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

It's so soft-looking, and it sticks up all over the place! Oh, Ianto's hair. The haircut they gave him for the end of S4 Doctor Who was truly a tragic thing to behold.

Vid. Is coming. I was up 'til 4am working on it last night, which probably means I'll rewatch it now and wonder what the hell I was doing.
