ok but if u headcanon that jack can’t read it makes torchwood 700% more entertaining
Detective: I mean,, they left you a message
Jack, staring blankly at the wall: yes,, hmmm….very disturbing
Ianto, over the coms using cameras to spy on them all: it says torchwood sir. and it’s painted in blood
Jack: hoLY ShIT
no one else knows,, jack ambles on obliviously whilst ianto sighs and covers for him
in every scene where jack is staring morosely at signs or letter or writing of any kind he’s staring like that cus he can’t read ,, he has no fuckin idea what it says ever
The real reason jack never submits any reports is that hes a useless gay who cannot read
Jack: and then !! they expected me to read !!!!
Ianto: but ,, ur gay sir !!
Jack: I knOW !!
