Torchwood - Complicated

[xandra]

Song by: Avril Lavigne
NOTES: This started out as joke while talking to astartexx and then I was actually tempted to vid it.I just wanted to vid something where Gwen wasn't all about Jack. And this vid happened. Not sure why the song either... there is no connection just had the right name and peppyness.

For this vidlet I blame you, Astarte! How could you let me even think about it, and not yell at me for actually starting it! and then letting me fix it! Your just evil.

Summary: AU. What if Gwen Cooper had fallen for Ianto instead of Jack? Well she still would end up disappointed.

Your draft was damn funny - don't blame me for your own madness and me cheering you on. This is my job description as your dirty mistress and you know me by now. I can never say no to you and your crack.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

your never to blame are you?

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

Nope! (I just wanted to use this icon...)

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

I bloody love you and your Torchwood vids!

haha, thanks. I'm glad someone likes my madness.

a strange little vidlet indeed, but a lovely one. And damn funny. And well done, too (my fav part was about 0:37-0:51, perfect timing)

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Once I reached that point I realized this was turning into an actual vid. And now of course I want to make another one. I think I've finally lost it.

I love me some Gwen and Ianto!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

It was just nice to not have to dislike her for once.

[kuwdora.livejournal.com]

AH! I adore it!

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

thanks.

[craevn.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. You've done so much with so little to work with.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And i know there is so little to work with, yet i kinda wanna do another once cause there are a few scenes i couldn't use.

You had me giggling madly in the middle of the night! I like Gwen fine, but this made me feel bad for her, even though I'm perfectly happy with Jack/Ianto. Aw, Gwen. At least you still have Super Rhys!

And the choice of song felt entirely appropriate, in a good if very much teenage way. :D

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Giggling Madly is a perfect reaction to this, as thats what I was doing. When I heard the song. I was just wanted to make something that didn't make me annoyed with her.

I think teenage is good and very Gwen, as i feel all season 2 she just wanted Ianto to be her special "gay" friend lol.

btw, love the icon.

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Aww, that was lovely. So cute. Perfect use of the wedding dance clip, lol.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

Thank you. lol.

and i know you must be in complete Who-Shock/coma after tonights episode.

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Understatement. She was like, everything I wanted her to be, but didn't think she'd be. I was afraid it wouldn't be the Rose I liked, the dorky, gleeful Rose, but she was still the same, just more polished.

And Donna was so very awesome, I'm so in awe of Catherine Tate.

And then the trailer happened and Gwen was there and OMG, my two favorite girls sharing the screen? COMA.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

haha. Actually i was really happy that they brought back the right Rose and i think it help that he first scenes were not with the Doctor. I loved her season one but season two she got a little "The doctor will save me" for my taste.

But she and Donna were awesome. And definitely more polished and grown up. I was Rose Happy Again.

Yeah the trailer is destroying my brain. I'm in overload with joy and i want there to be some longish awkward "who the hell are all you people" moment where they get introduced. And then you know in the end, the world isn't ending hugs.

That was made of all kinds of win! Loved the way it still turned out that Gwen didn't get the guy, too! (Can you tell I'm not a Gwen fan?) Wonderfully edited and loads of fun to watch.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D. And this video has inspired me to attempt to pair Ianto with everyone. He is for my purposed my new "Willow". I think Owen is next.

I know me too, that was my favorite part. That and making the picture.

I really tried the second time i watch the entire series to give Gwen a chance and she lost me in Day One. After she spent all that time researching Carys Jack asks here where she might be and Gwen's like "What are you looking at me for". It only got worse from there.

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but imagine your first day and the boss is like 'oh, I know who we'll ask to save the day, the new girl'.

But series 1 Gwen was...well, I didn't like her at all most of the time, though I liked her in the early eps. Then she completely and utterly lost me, only really connected with her again in the finale because of the morgue scene, but she completely and utterly had my heart in series 2. And I love Eve, so that probably helps.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

No, but their in the SUV and Owen has to point out to her she did all the research. If she was fluster and said she couldnt remember i wouldnt have minded as much. but she kinda gave up. lol

I''m just excepting now we will never agree on Gwen. I think she's had a few kick ass moments but usually i just want her to shut up cause she's being all "feel my pain and their pain but dont think about yours." lol.

[kiratollan.livejournal.com]

Interesting idea and good editing.

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

i luff this!

& aww, bless gwen - she finally relizes it's not jack she wants, but ianto, *g* - there have to be more vids for ianto/gwen out there, it's such a cute pairing.

[xandra-ptv.livejournal.com]

yep... still could happen, Gwen has either been, wanted to be or wanted to be found attractive by all main male characters in the show except him.
