Leon was nervous the whole drive over. His hands left a sweaty shine on the steering wheel of his Jeep that even blasting the AC couldn’t fix. It only got worse when he stepped into the elevator and pressed the button with his free hand. In his other hand was a bouquet of red roses that trembled ever so slightly.

After so many years of circling each other, after so long of slipping from each other’s fingers like sand, Leon was finally going on a date with Ada Wong.

And he was scared shitless.

At this point, Leon had taken on zombies, cultists, and horrors no person should ever witness. And yet at that moment, none of those things made him nervous like the thought of having dinner with his longtime enemy turned ally turned paramour.

While women flirted with him often, Leon hadn’t been on a proper date in a long time. Hence why his heart was racing and his neck was sweating. He felt like a teenager about to pick up his crush for the prom.

Leon glanced down at the napkin in his hand. Using a red pen, Ada had written her address down on it in elegant handwriting. Her apartment, or at least, her current apartment. Ada likely wasn’t the kind of woman who stayed in one place for long and definitely didn’t just hand out her permanent address to anyone, even him.

The two had always encountered each other in strange circumstances. In Raccoon City during the T-virus epidemic. On his mission to Spain to save Ashley Graham. But now, they were meeting at an apartment like two normal adults. It was so unusual for them, and in a way, the normalcy made it more nerve-wracking.

He jumped when the elevator dinged and the door opened. Leon stepped out and turned down the hallway, following the number that Ada had written down: 13B.

Leon gulped and ran a hand through his hair. He glanced at his phone and the time read 5:59 p.m. It was now or never.

He lifted his knuckles to her door and knocked.

Perfect punctuality.

Ada had told Leon to arrive at her place at 6:00 p.m. And she heard his knock on the door right on the dot. Clearly, his rule-following instinct from his rookie days hadn’t completely gone away.

It was just in time, too. Ada had finished setting two plates of sirloin steak and mashed potatoes next to two empty wine glasses. She had a tall, fresh bottle of red unopened next to two burning candles.

“Just a minute,” she called.

Ada turned to a mirror on the wall and examined her dress. A simple fitted dress in her signature blood-red color. Off-shoulder, with a pair of black pantyhose underneath and black pumps. Fancy enough to look nice, casual enough for dinner at home. One of the downsides of running into Leon so much on the job was that he had already seen most of her formal wardrobe, so she had to go shopping for something new.

Ada had been on plenty of dates, but most of them were for missions. They were with men who were targets. She dressed in her red silk and sat with them through dinners and didn’t complain when they ran their hands up her thigh, only so she could get information out of them. Manipulate them. Take them out if the mission called for it.

But an actual date -date? She hadn’t had one of those in a long time. And to be honest, she’d gotten a bit rusty. Seduction was easy, but romance was a much more demanding game. This probably explained why she suggested the most typical date idea in the book: A candlelit dinner.

Ada looked at the old clock on the wall. Two minutes past six. She couldn’t keep him waiting forever. She inhaled a sharp breath, then approached the front door.

Leon heard the click-click-click of high-heeled shoes on the other side of the door. He inhaled a sharp breath to calm his racing heart.

I can do this, he thought to himself. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.

Ada opened the door.

I can’t do this.

Leon could have fallen to his knees right then. Ada always looked put-together, but at that moment she was absolutely radiant. A silky red dress and deep red lips, her skin and hair practically shining. She could have stepped out of a painting in a museum.

And he was going to spend the evening alone with her.

All of a sudden, he felt like they were back in Raccoon City all those years ago. He was the naive rookie and she was the double agent who could toy with him so easily.

“Leon,” Ada said. “Perfect timing.”

Leon gulped and remembered he was holding a bouquet in his hands.

“These,” he said. The plastic wrapping crinkled as he gestured with the roses. “…they’re…for you.”

One sentence into the date and he was already tripping over his words. Thankfully, Ada smiled and took the bouquet from him.

“Thank you, Leon,” she said. She sniffed the roses and then raised an eyebrow at him. “How’d you know my favorite color is red?”

It took Leon several seconds to realize she was being sarcastic. He chuckled and scratched behind his head.

“Lucky guess, I guess,” he said.

Ada pushed open the door.

“Come in and take a seat,” she said. “I’ll put these in the kitchen.”

Leon followed her inside. The apartment was modest but cozy. Not a lot of decoration, which supported Leon’s theory that this place was a temporary hideaway.

The idea of Ada leaving the city sent something cold in his stomach. But that evaporated when he saw the layout in the spare room that Ada had converted into a dining room. A table for two with two candles that glowed gold on the walls. His stomach grumbled when the scent of prime steak filled his nose.

“That smells amazing,” Leon said.

“Let’s hope it tastes decent too,” Ada said, emerging from the kitchen.

They both took their seats at the table. Ada popped open the bottle and poured them both glasses. Leon cut himself a piece of steak and moaned when he forked it into his mouth.

“Mmmm,” he moaned. “That’s good stuff.”

A ghost of a smile crept on Ada’s face and she brought her red lips to the red wine in her hand.

The candles between them dripped shorter as the two of them chatted for the next hour. Ada asked Leon what he was doing now (upcoming mission to Ukraine next month) and Leon asked her about work (“You know I don’t work and tell.”). All the while Ada watched Leon’s mouth as he chewed and sipped and licked.

He seemed nervous when he first arrived. Trembling and blushing and stuttering like a prepubescent. But now, perhaps thanks to a second glass of wine, he seemed to relax a bit. He smiled and laughed, cracked more jokes, and leaned back in his seat.

At one point, he had a small white spot of mashed potato in the corner of his mouth. Ada resisted the urge to take her finger and wipe it from his lip.

Outside the window, the cool blue evening sky darkened to black. All that was left on both their plates were red juice from the steak and scraps of mashed potato, and their wine glasses only had drops left. Ada watched Leon dab his mouth clean with his napkin.

“That was superb, Ada,” he said. “Really, that's the best meal I’ve had in a while.”

Ada wiped her lips with her own napkin.

“I’m glad you think so,” she said. “I’m not much of a cook. Steak and mashed potatoes are the one thing I can do decently.”

“More than decently,” Leon said. He crumpled up his napkin and dropped it on his plate. “If we do this again, you should come by my place. I make a mean tomato soup.”

“You cook?” Ada asked.

A proud smile beamed on Leon’s face.

“You bet,” he said. “And I don’t stop at tomato soup. I can do clam chowder, French onion, chicken noodle. I can also make homemade pasta. I just got a new pasta maker machine in my kitchen. If you want breakfast, my family has this old omelette recipe—”

As Leon rambled off food recipes, Ada felt something warm twisting tighter and tighter in her chest. Leon’s blue eyes beamed and his smile shined in the dim candlelight. He was sweet, genuinely sweet , in a way most men weren’t. At least, not to her.

Fuck, Ada, she thought to herself. You’ve fallen deeper than you thought.

Ada gathered up their plates and silverware and took them to the kitchen. She set them on the counter and opened the dishwasher. Before she could distract herself by loading the dishes, Leon appeared beside her.

“Let me help,” he said, already grabbing an empty wine glass off the pile.

“Leon, it’s fine,” Ada said. “You’re my guest, you don’t have to.”

“Well, I want to,” Leon said defiantly.

He helped her load the plates, silverware, and wine glasses into the washer. He even found the soap in the bottom cabinet and readied it in the plug. Ada stood and watched him shut the washer and press the start button.

“Thanks,” she said.

“A little something for that awesome steak,” Leon said. Once again, he flashed her that smile that made Ada’s heart twitch.

Ada crossed her arms to cover the thumping in her chest.

“I thought of making a dessert too,” she said. “But I ran out of time.”

“Don’t sweat it,” Leon said. “I’m trying a new diet, and besides, that sirloin and potatoes really filled me up.”

He leaned against the doorway of the kitchen. The two of them were silent for a moment and warm, strange tension hung between them. Outside, rain started to patter on the window and the place was dark save for the flickering candles. Neither of them thought to switch on a light.

Ada’s eyes glazed down Leon’s body. His police uniform and leather jackets had been switched out for dark blue trousers and matching blazer, along with a button-up shirt and polished leather shoes. He was handsome in the candlelight, almost angelic. Her gaze lingered on his shirt, wondering what it would look like to pluck those buttons. Her fingers twitched to thread through his blonde hair.

Ada tried to recall the last time she had sex for pleasure. For so long, sex to her had been a weapon. A tool she used to extract information from targets, and manipulate them into giving her what she needed. It had been that way for as long as she had been an operative, for a good part of her adult life. She tried to remember the last time she had sex simply because she wanted to. She tried to remember the person…their name…where they were…what she did to them…

“Ada?”

Leon’s voice pulled her from her thoughts and she was back in the kitchen, standing across the room from him. Ada shook her head.

“Hm?” she said.

“You’ve got an interesting look on your face,” he said. “Is something wrong?”

Ada held his gaze and slowly shook her head.

“No,” she said. “No, there’s nothing wrong.”

Her eyes flickered around the room until she saw the bouquet of roses on the table, still wrapped in their plastic packaging.

“I should put these in some water,” she said. “I would have earlier, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting at the table.”

“No problem,” Leon said. He watched her take the bouquet and bring it near the sink. She pulled a glass vase from one of the cabinets and filled it with water. She unraveled the flowers from their packaging. She picked up one of the roses, and then immediately dropped it.

“Ow,” she said.

“Something wrong?” Leon asked. He joined her over by the sink.

“Thorns,” Ada said.

On the tip of her index finger was a small gush of blood. One of the thorns on the rose she held glinted with blood.

“Sorry,” Leon said, gently taking her hand. “The florist said they usually chip those off, but they were out of cut ones when I got there. I could only get these on time.”

“It’s fine,” Ada said. “I actually like how thorns look. Just…not when I’m holding them.”

Leon couldn’t help but chuckle. Of course Ada liked red roses with thorns. She practically was one.

He held her hand in both of his.

“Let me try and stop the bleeding,” he said.

He brought her finger to his mouth and gently sucked his tongue over it. Ada’s breath hitched when she felt his warm, wet tongue caress her skin. She observed the movements of his mouth and lips.

“Leon,” she said.

“Hm?” he said.

“Does licking a wound actually help it?”

He nodded and pulled her finger from his mouth.

“It puts pressure on it to relieve pain,” he said. “It stimulates the nerves in a way that helps it heal.” Something crossed over his eyes. “And I wanted to hold your hand.”

Ada raised an eyebrow.

“Did you get me thorned roses so I’d cut myself?” she asked.

“If I say yes will you think I’m charming and clever?”

Ada chuckled.

“Charming, yes,” she said. “Clever…the jury’s out.”

Leons grinned. Ada’s fingers brushed against his bottom lip and then pushed them inside. Leon didn’t resist. He opened his mouth to let in her middle and index fingers in. He held her wrist as she massaged over his tongue and cheeks. He sucked and moaned and the sound made Ada shiver.

In the dim light, his eyes were shimmering. They held her gaze and said one thing to her: Fuck me.

Ada pulled her fingers out of him, saliva dripping between his bottom lip and her tips, and she wiped it on the shoulder of his coat.

“I like it,” Ada said softly.

Leon licked his bottom lip, collecting what remained of his spit.

“I like you,” he said.

Ada couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed his tie in her fist and pulled him into a kiss. Leon responded immediately, pulling her close and sinking into her lips. His arms circled around her, his hands smoothing down her waist and around her rear.

Gripping his tie, Ada pushed Leon forward until he stumbled backward into a kitchen chair. She straddled him in his seat, threading her hands in his hair as she sunk into the kiss. Leon steadied her in place by clasping his hands to her hips.

Ada bit down on Leon’s lip and made a growling sound in her throat. She felt hungrier, in a way she hadn’t in a long time. She smacked her lips off of his and looked down at him. Leon was flustered red and breathing heavily and she could feel his heartbeat racing against hers.

She pressed a hand to his chest, feeling the buttons between her fingers and the curvature of muscle underneath. Oh, how she wanted to eat him alive right there in that chair. But something inside her was holding her back. An uncharacteristic hesitation in her. Like she wanted to jump over an edge but all she could do was stare down.

Leon noticed and circled his arms around her waist to pull her closer.

“Something wrong?” he asked.

Even in heat, Leon was sweet as a puppy. It made Ada feel that creeping twist in her chest again. She’d fucked plenty of guys before. On countless missions where the best way to a guy’s intel was through his pants. That’s how things like this usually went. Now doing it with Leon, a boy whose eyes made it seem like he never had an impure thought in his life, it almost felt…dirty. In a way that sex with targets didn’t.

Leon wasn’t some mission objective. He was a man who made her laugh and licked her wounds and touched her oh-so-sweetly. Getting down with him should be easy, so then why did she feel so unsteady?

“We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” Leon said. “I don’t expect you to—”

“No,” Ada interrupted him. “It’s not that, it’s just…”

Dammit. How was it that when she was with a target, she could seduce and tease like it was nobody’s business. But the second it was someone she cared about…suddenly it was like relearning how to walk.

If only this were a mission. If only Ada had been assigned to extract information from Leon Kennedy. Then she’d be able to play him like a guitar.

But this wasn’t a mission. This was real and Leon wasn’t a target this time. He was holding her and talking to her like she was someone worth loving.

Leon brushed a hand down her back and rubbed his thumb along her spine.

“You can tell me anything, Ada,” he told her. His breath was warm against her neck. “I really like you. I want to make you happy.”

His lips brushed against her neck. He was so warm yet it made her shiver. Ada instinctively pushed closer so his mouth brushed against her flesh.

Leon got the message. He pressed his lips to her neck and began planting little kisses. Something in Ada melted and she sighed into him. Leon circled his arms tightly around her and held her steady in place on top of him.

He kissed and licked and gently nibbled around her neck and Ada’s mind turned to soup. She wanted to just stay there forever.

Then, she felt Leon’s hand move tentatively down her thigh to the trim of her dress.

“Mind if I…” he said, as breathless as her.

“Sure,” she said.

Leon moved his hand up her dress and up until he found the seam of her pantyhose and underwear. His breath hitched when his fingertips felt black silk and lace.

“Fuck,” he muttered into her skin. His hot whisper sent Ada’s blood surging.

Leon dipped his hand down between Ada’s thighs and maneuvered his fingers until he found an opening. Ada gasped and clenched her arms tighter around Leon’s shoulders as he slid a gentle finger inside.

Ada’s head drooped over his shoulder. Leon moved a second finger inside and gently began massaging.

Pleasure pulsed up Ada’s body. As Leon worked his fingers inside her, planted kisses along her neck. Ada moaned and sunk into him.

“Does that feel good?” he whispered in her ear.

It took Ada a second to respond. Her eyes fluttered shut and she pursed her lips.

“Mmhmm,” she said. Her hand smoothed up his neck and tightly gripped his hair. “Keep going.”

Leon did as he was told and massaged deeper inside her. Ada moaned and arched her back. She was dripping wet, soaking his fingers and tugging his hair harder. But Leon didn’t mind. He relished the pain and the mess because it was from her.

Since the night they met, Leon had countless nights just dreaming of Ada Wong. She frustrated and frightened him as much as she enchanted and enticed him. He caught himself too many times wondering what her lips tasted like and what it would feel like to have her body weight bring down his.

And now here she was, gripping him and moaning in his ear while he pleasured her with his hand. It sent a hot surge through him and he wanted nothing more than to make Ada come.

“You’re incredible,” he mumbled into her skin between kisses. “You’re gorgeous…and brilliant and…”

Ada’s breath hitched and her body braced as she felt the start of an orgasm coming on. Leon’s lovely hand knew just where to touch inside of her and it was coming quickly.

But before she could go over the edge, Ada’s hand shot down and grabbed Leon’s wrist.

“What’s wrong?” Leon asked. He quickly pulled his hand out of her underwear, his fingers shiny. “Is something wrong?”

Ada shook her head.

“No,” she said. “I don’t want the first time to be with your hands.”

Leon’s lips parted when he took in what she meant.

“Okay,” he said.

Ada tugged her underwear and pantyhose back up and brushed down her dress. She pressed her lips back to Leon’s and her hand found the knot of his tie. Keeping her mouth to his, she pulled him by his tie and they started stumbling down the hall.

“Come with me,” Ada said.

Leon’s voice escaped him in a hot shudder.

“Yes ma’am,” he said.

Ada Wong was going to fuck him.

This was real. This was happening.

Ada Wong was finally going to fuck him.

Before Leon knew it, Ada slammed her bedroom door closed and pushed Leon against it. He let her do whatever she wanted. He let her tug his tie from his throat so fast it nearly made him choke. He let her pluck open his shirt buttons and brushed her fingers along the goosebumps underneath. He let her rip his shirt and blazer from his shoulders with both hands.

“Ada…” he sighed.

She stopped his mouth with a kiss while her hand went for the front of his pants. She pulled out his trouser buttons and yanked down his zipper. Leon was already throbbing hard after Ada was straddling him with his hand inside her. The moment her fingertips brushed his cock through the fabric of his underwear, he dribbled a bit of precome.

“Ha,” Ada chuckled. “Already wet for me?”

Leon bit his lip and nodded. Ada wasn’t sure exactly how experienced Leon was. He was attractive enough that she assumed he wasn’t a virgin, but he was just innocent enough that he didn’t seem like a lothario. Either way, the speed at which his body reacted to her told Ada that Leon S. Kennedy hadn’t been touched in a long time.

“Tell me what to do, Ada,” he said. “I like you so much…and you look so pretty…just let me do this for you…”

Now it was Ada’s turn to bite her lip. Her plan had been simply to put his back to the mattress and ride him until he croaked. But now her mind was starting to wander and she wondered if she could persuade this soft, gooey Leon to do something else.

Ada pressed kisses along his neck. Her deep pomegranate lipgloss stained his skin and she sunk her teeth down into his neck. Leon moaned and pushed the waist of his trousers down until they too to his ankles. His cock was hard to the point of pain and he wanted to tear off his boxers to make room.

“Ada, please…” he whimpered as Ada sucked another hickey on his muscular neck. “Please…it’s starting to hurt…”

“Your poor thing,” Ada breathed in his ear. She planted another hickey by his collar and then reached both her hands down to grasp his ass. Leon’s breath hitched and his eyes fluttered close.

“Ada,” he moaned through his teeth.

Ada curled her hands around his muscular behind, clasping her fingers until her sharp nails dug into his tender flesh. Leon whimpered like a puppy in her ear.

“You’re sensitive down there,” Ada mumbled in his ear.

“Mm…mmhmm…” Leon mumbled.

Ada slid her hand through the underwear seam and onto the bare flesh under the fabric. She trailed her sharp nail along Leon’s flesh and he visibly shivered. Leon was limp and helpless as a ragdoll, whimpering and moaning into each touch. He was so soft and warm. The perfect toy.

“Leon,” she whispered in her ear. “I want…to try something…”

“Yeah?” he said, breathlessly.

Ada pulled her hand out from his underwear, snapping the elastic seam against his lower back as she did. She turned on her heels and walked over to the beside table. She opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a leather harness with something red and protruding attached to it.

“Do you know what this is?” she asked.

Leon’s eyes lingered on the plastic toy and nodded.

“Yeah,” he said. “I think so.”

“Do you mind if I put it on?”

He shook his head.

“No, I don’t mind.”

Ada’s eyes glint and she smirked.

“Do you want to help me put it on?”

Leon’s eyes shimmered and he nodded. Ada turned around and gestured to the zipper on the back of her dress.

“You can start with this,” she said.

Leon immediately hurried over and took the zipper between his fingers. He sighed as he slowly pulled it down, revealing a perfect back of bare flesh. His fingers twitched at the hooks connected her black bra. He marveled at the lean muscle hidden just under the red silk.

Leon couldn’t help it.

He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to the knob at the top of her spine. Then he brushed his lips down, pressing down the center of her back, savoring the taste of her skin.

“Someone’s hungry,” Ada said.

“Mmhmm,” Leon hummed into her skin.

Ada turned around and forced Leon to look at her. She held his gaze as she pulled her dress down by her sleeves. The dress fell gracefully into a blood-colored pile at her feet and Ada stepped out of her shoes over it. Leon watched with drool on his lip as she stretched off her nylons.

Finally, Ada grabbed the harness off the table.

“Help me put this on,” she said.

Without instruction, Leon dropped to his knees and took the harness. He held it as Ada stepped one perfect leg after the next into the leather strips. He pulled it up to her waist and tightened the buckle straps. The long, red dildo was right in front of his face.

Ada smirked down at him.

“Look big enough for you, baby?” she teased.

Leon’s eyes didn’t leave the toy. He licked his lips and swallowed as he started to imagine the whole length inside of him.

Ada petted her fingers in his hair.

“I need to lather it up so it goes in smoothly,” she said. “Want to help?”

“Okay,” Leon said. “What do you want me to…”

He was interrupted when Ada pulled his head closer by his hair. She pushed the dildo into his mouth and held him there.

“Get sucking, sweetheart,” she told him.

Her words made his skin burn. Leon moaned with his mouth full he sucked his mouth and tongue along the length. Ada pushed it in deeper until he almost choked a little bit.

“Nice to see you don’t have much of a reflex,” Ada teased. She curled her fingers through his hair and pulled up a little so he wouldn’t gag.

Leon moved his mouth up and down Ada’s cock, licking and drooling and salivating over it. It was almost a challenge to see how deep he could take it in before his throat reacted. Sometimes, Ada would give it a little push with her hips and he’d gurgle and moan. Finally, she pulled it out and Leon started coughing.

Ada took Leon’s face in her hand.

“Thank you, baby,” she said. “But I think some lube will work better.”

Leon watched her pull a bottle from the drawer and lathered the length until it was shiny. The sight of her nimble fingers working did little to help his soiled underwear. He rose to his feet and waited patiently for her next instruction.

Once the toy was ready, Ada sauntered up to Leon. She reached behind his head and grabbed a fistful of his hair before pulling him into the kiss. Leon whimpered into her mouth. His cock was throbbing and she kept him in pain for so long that his knees started to buckle.

Thankfully, Ada was still dripping wet and hot from his fingers. In one swift movement, she pushed him towards the end of the bed. Before Leon could respond, Ada pressed a hand to his back and pushed him over the bed. He had no fight in. Leon let her bend him over the bed and smack his ass.

“Those uniforms didn’t do you justice,” Ada said. She pulled his underwear down and gave his bare ass another smack, leaving a red handprint behind. Leon winced at the pain even as it sent a surge of blood down to his cock.

Leon buried his face in the bedsheet as Ada retrieved the bottle of lube. He heard the plastic pump and then cried out as Ada pressed a finger into his hole.

“Relax for me, baby,” she purred. She used her free hand to stroke down his back. Her words and caresses were so sweet compared to the searing sensation of her stretching out hole. “I can’t fit in in if you don’t relax.”

Leon sucked in a breath and gulped. He knew when he came over to Ada’s apartment that they might end up in bed together. It never escaped him that Ada wasn’t the type of woman to be happy with only dinner and polite conversation. His imagination ran wild the whole way over with all the things she might do to him.

But this…was a surprise.

With Leon’s hole lathered and wide, Ada readied herself at his entrance. His pussy was still hot and beating after his hand was between her thighs, and she wasn’t patient enough for any more foreplay.

“Tell me if it hurts,” she said.

With that, she promptly pressed herself inside of him. Leon let out a long, pained moan as she filled him up. He’d never done this before. He never felt anyone fill him down there. Ada started pumping inside him and he croaked as she pounded against his prostrate.

“Fuck…” he whimpered.

Ada chuckled and pet a hand through Leon’s hair.

“Does that feel nice?” she purred.

Leon was barely coherent enough to answer. He went limp and sunk into the mattress, which creaked beneath them as Ada fucked him deeper into the bed.

“Uh-huh,” he sighed. “Keep going.”

A wicked smirk crossed Ada’s face She tightened her fingers in Leon’s hair and pulled him back. Leon’s back arched and he moaned in pain. His face turned cheery red as exquisite pain pulled from his head.

Ada pushed his head down into the bed and fucked him harder. The pressure the harness put on her clit was sending her close to the edge. And based on Leon’s increasing volume, he was getting there too.

“Ada,” he whined. He fisted the bedsheet and clenched his teeth. “I’m gonna…I’m gonna…”

“Me too, baby,” Ada sighed. She tipped her head up and closed her eyes as she jerked her hips faster. Her nails clawed down his back.

“Ahh…” Leon whimpered. “Harder…Harder…Harder…”

Ada grabbed Leon’s hair again and fucked him until her body erupted in a climax. She moaned as each jerk of her hips pushed her into a heavenly orgasm.

Beneath her, Leon’s hips jerked to hump the bed with each thrust until finally, finally, he came. He spurted into the bedsheets, moaning and whimpering and sighing Ada’s name until every drop of him was gone.

Ada took her time coming to a stop. Her hips gradually slowed their movements until she was still and pulled herself from him. Slicked with sweat and breathing heavily, she stepped out of the harness and tossed it on the floor.

“You okay, handsome?” she asked.

Leon rolled onto his side, grimacing at the sticky stain he left on the sheet.

“Sorry,” he said weakly.

“Don’t worry your pretty head about it,” Ada said. “It’s nothing that can’t be cleaned in the morning,”

Leon rolled onto his back and released a long sigh. His body was shiny and sticky with sweat, his head hurt from his hair being yanked and his hole was sore. But it was a savory kind of pain. The pain at the end of a long sprint, the pain after climbing a great height. It was the kind of pain that made your body buzz and burn for more.

Ada crawled on top of him and pressed her hands on each side of his head against the mattress. She gazed down at him, inky black hair hanging by her face. A diamond-like bead of sweat trailed down between her breasts.

She gave him a bemused smirk.

“Not exactly typical first date stuff,” she said.

Leon swallowed and shook his head.

“No,” he said.

No, it wasn’t what normal people did after one date. But then again, he and Ada were not normal people. Each interaction they had since the night they met had just been a years-long foreplay that led to this night. The night he finally let her bend him over and ruin him.

Leon gazed up at Ada. His hands raised and brushed against her waist, until he finally pulled her down on top of him. His used cock was limp and useless between her thighs, but he still wanted her to touch him. He never wanted her to stop touching him.

The two curled under the covers as midnight passed on the clock. Ada’s pulled Leon’s head to her chest and petted his hair while he nuzzled into her chest. He was still whimpering and mewing like a kicked puppy and it made her heart surge.

“Is it okay if I spend the night?” Leon muttered.

Ada grinned and scratched his back.

“I wasn’t expecting you to leave,” she said.

Ada was warm and dazy as her body brimmed with heat. Leon mindlessly mouthed at her breasts as she drifted off to sleep.

Sunlight glinted between the window blinds and right into Ada’s eyes. She squeezed her eyes and turned away from the window. That’s when she felt the empty space in the bed next to her and all the memories of the night before came trickling back.

Ada opened her eyes. Nothing but empty space on the pillow next to her. But the lingering body warmth on the bedsheet and the sticky residue near her feet told her that last night wasn’t just an elaborate wet dream. She ravished Leon S. Kennedy, and now he appeared to missing in action.

At least, it seemed like that for a moment. Then Ada heard a sizzling sound coming from the kitchen and smelled something savory in the air. A few moments later, Leon Kennedy, emerged in the doorway. He gave her a small smile.

“Morning,” he said.

Ada looked him up and down. He was dressed in only his boxers, his neck and chest still stained with lipstick and hickeys. In his hand was a plate with something steaming on it.

“I thought you left for a second,” Ada said.

Leon flashed a smile of sparkling teeth.

“Not without breakfast,” he said. He sauntered over and sat down on the edge of the bed. “Hope you don’t mind I went through your kitchen.”

Ada glanced down at the plate. A fluffy yellow omelette sat on the plate and the smell made her stomach rumble.

“Let me taste first and then I’ll see,” she said.

Leon handed her a fork and Ada scooped a bite into her mouth. Yep, just as she suspected. Leon could cook. He could really cook.

“Mmmm,” Ada hummed through a full mouth. “This is the family recipe you mentioned last night?”

Leon beamed and nodded.

“Yep,” he said. “I can make it in my sleep.”

Ada swallowed and then immediately shoved another forkful in her mouth.

“So I’m forgiven for making a mess in the kitchen?” Leon asked.

Ada chuckled and spoke through a bite of egg.

“You’re good,” she said, then swallowed. “Just clean up afterward.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Ada sat up into a criss-crossed position and kept forking her plate. Her eyes lingered on the love bites on his neck. She was tempted to reach out and touch them, find some bandages and patch him off after the mess she made of him.

“Thanks,” she said.

Leon grinned and shrugged.

“You made me dinner and let me spend the night,” he said. “I figured I owed my hostess something in return.”

Ada paused the fork in her mouth and raised an eyebrow.

“Is that all you’re thanking me for?” she asked.

Leon’s face turned bright pink and he smiled shyly down to the bed.

“That was…nice,” he said. “Unexpected.”

“Unexpected isn’t always bad.”

“No, it’s not.”

Leon tossed aside the duvet and pressed his fingers to the stain that was still there.

“I’m sorry about that,” he said. “After I clean up the kitchen, maybe I can clean this up for you.” He glanced up at Ada. “I noticed you’re out of coffee. There’s a cafe down the street from here. If you’re up for it, we can go grab some caffeine. It’s next door to a laundry mat, so maybe I can get these sheets washed up while we’re over there.”

Ada pursed her lips and lingered her eyes on Leon. The sunlight streaking between the window blinds hit his blonde hair, outlining him in gold like a halo.

“They don’t make men like you anymore, Leon Kennedy,” she said.

Leon’s face flushed and he smiled coyly.

“I try my best,” he said. “So, do you wanna go?”

Ada finished the last bite of the omelette and reached back to put it on the bedside table.

“Sure, but in a little bit,” she said. She turned to him and pulled him closer. “I don’t want to share you with other people just yet.”

Leon grinned and sunk into her kiss.

◘Eyecon '08 Jared's Entrance by jibbles21◘

(0:00 J) -introduction

Kenny Smith: Oh my god! It’s- (turns) it’s- it’s- Oh, me. Thank you. (gestures to audience member) So, sweet. Really.

(to audience) Okay, you guys. You know the drill. We got the man. I need all of you- I swear, he could just start a cult right now, because (audience laughs) he could just make all of you do horrible, horrible things. (audience laughs) It’s okay.

You know the drill ladies. You got people behind you. They need to be able to see. Take your picture, move along. Let’s create a system. You guys are already pros at this (audience giggles) and we love you for it.

Are you ready, ladies? (audience screams and claps.) I can’t hear you. (audience screams harder and claps)

(shakes head) He (?serves us?). (holds up clip board and leans over) Stop it. (audience laughs) What the hell am I thinking?!

◘Jared 1 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘

Audience member: We love you Kenny!

Smith: He stars as Sam Winchester! (audience screams and claps) He’s Supernatural! And he really is a hellva nice guy. (audience laughs) ..Please give it up.. for none other, Jared Padalecki, the man! (audience screams, claps, and cheers)

One of the double doors opens and Jared walks into the convention ballroom, clapping and waving to the crowd. Jared walks on stage and is greeted with Smith kneeling to him with the mic held out towards him. Jared awkwardly kneels to accept the mic. Then they both stand straight up.

Jared: (off mic) I’ve never been- (on mic) I’ve never been knighted before like that. (Smith throws his hands up)

Smith: (to audience) (off mic) It’s what I do. (turns and leaves the stage)

Jared: (waves to the audience) Hi, guys. (audience screams and claps) (smiles and sits down) Thanks for coming out. Sorry.. that things got crazy. But, thanks for waking up early.

◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A by fdgr1000◘

(waves) I see some familiar faces and some fresh faces. (audience chuckles) So.. hi. (audience says hi back) (waves) Hi, again to everybody. I- I just had a great breakfast-

Audience member: (?Why she sit? She not.?)

•(0:58 RM)- EyeA08JP;T1- Coffee Guesses

Jared: (waves) Hi, there. What are you drinking? Mocha Frappuccino?

Audience member: Yesss.

Jared: Is it?

Audience member: Yess.

◘Jared's Panel @ Eye Con 1 by MrsSammyWinchester◘

Jared: (to audience) I totally made that up. I didn’t know that was that coffee. (audience laughs) People are like, (mimics frantically gossiping to someone beside him) “He’s a huge Starbucks fan.” (audience laughs) (laughs) “He knows what they’re drinking by seeing it.” (audience laughs)

Um, (points out into the crowd) you’re having a latte. (looks to the other side) And you’re having a, uh.. (wiggles head) triple, quadruple.. expresso. (audience chuckles) (nods) That’d be a lot of expresso, huh. (audience chuckles)

How have y’all been? (audience screams, cheers, and claps)

Audience member: Awesome!

Jared: I didn’t hear one thing. (laughs) (some audience laugh while the rest try to scream out more answers) (Audience member: Brooklyn!) Where?

(points in the crowd) Well, I know you came from Starbucks. (audience laughs) (swipes his finger) But, before that, I mean.

◘Jared at Eyecon by SnObLuv◘

Audience member: Somebody yelled Austria!

Jared: Austria?

Audience member: Yes, over here!

Audience member: Yes!

Jared: ..G’day mate. (holds out his hand and shakes his head) I’m just kidding. (audience laughs)

◘Jared Padalecki - Eyecon 1/2 by Ifrodo99◘

Audience member: Au-stri-a!

Jared: I know. I know. I had to do “Dumb and Dumber”. Have y’all seen “Dumb and Dumber,” when at the very beginning (Audience member: Reno!) he’s going, “G’day mate.”?

Audience member: Reno!

Jared: Reno! (nods) Nice. (gestures to AM) (Audience member: Florida!) It’s such a shorter trip to Vegas. I would’ve- I would’ve been like, (mimics weighing on his hands) “Jared. Vegas. Jared-” (waves and then mimics leaving) “I’m going to Vegas, you know.” (audience laughs and no’s)

Audience member: (?Going to? or ?Living in?) Vegas sucks!

Jared: Yeah. (nods) Yeah. That’s true. Um, you always walk away poor and fatter. (Audience member: Yeah!) (audience giggles) At least, I do, so. It kind of sucks for me.

How are y’all guys? Good? Where did y’all come from? Here?

◘Jared 2 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘

Audience member: Yeah!

Audience member: I can’t talk.

Jared: That’s alright. I-I can’t either, that’s why they (tilts mic) gave me this thing. I get to cheat.

•(1:53 F, 1:35 MSW, 0:51 I, 0:20 RM)- EyeA08JP;T3- Samantha Ferris’ voice; Cough drops

Have y’all heard Samantha today? (Audience member: No!) She sounds like this, (raspy horse voice) “Hey, Jared. Ur-rah-rah-uh.” (audience laughs) I was like, “What did they do to you? Should I be nervous?” (adjusts his hat) (audience laughs) “Um, should I protect myself with some cough drops?”

But, Yeah. (nods) Apparently, she had a great time.

Audience member: Yes!

Jared: Yes?

Audience member: Yes!

Audience member: I have cough drops.

Jared: Can I get some cough drops?

◘Eyecon Jared Padalecki Part 02 by tinkabell007◘

Audience member: They have some for you.

Jared: They do?

Audience member: Yeah.

Audience member: Yes, she said.

Jared: Halls, eucalyptus? (audience laugh)

Audience member: It’s generic.

Jared: (flips up a hand and shakes his head) It was- It was my only guess. (audience laughs) I was so good with the.. (gestures towards crowd) Mocha Frappuccino earlier. I’m kind of pushing my luck now. (audience laughs) I’m just, like, uhhm, guessing out a lot of stuff.

•(2:31 F, 2:13 MSW, 1:29 I, 0:57 RM, 0:19 T)- EyeA08JP;T4- Matrix Flipbook

I see a lot of cameras. (stares wide eyed scanning the room) (audience laughs)

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 0:23-0:47

Audience member: There’s humans behind them really.

Jared: We should try and get everybody together and do one of those Matrix style things where you just flip through the pages. (gets up) I’ll move really slowly. Everybody take a lot of pictures.

Jared slowly shifts his weight onto one leg and raises the other up, balancing with one arm out. The audience laughs and cheers. Jared tries to rotate his body but starts losing his balance. He stands straight up. The audience claps.

◘Jared @ Eyecon - prank by miss_lizzie◘

Jared: Okay, now if we can get everybody to.. print out one little screenshot of that, we’ll make a flipbook. (audience laughs) That would be great. (sits back down)

Does anybody have any questions? I-I feel like I’m.. useless up here, unless I- I can serve some purpose.

(points into the crowd) You’re closest.

•(3:04 F, 2:47 MSW, 2:02 I, 1:32 RM, 0:53 T, 0:20 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q1- Pranks; Jared tricks on Jensen

Fan: (off mic) Like- Okay, I’ve always heard about tricks Jensen’s got on you. What are some that you got on him?

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 0:49-1:53

Jared: (crosses legs) That’s interesting. Um, Jensen has a lot more time to plan. (audience giggles) (smacks lips) He’s a sneaky ole bugger. (audience laughs) But, um, uh, let’s think. I’ve done.. I’ve done my fair share of things to him.

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 1 by sarahmonious◘

Uhh, I-I tell the, uh, wardrobe lady sometimes to sew up (laughs) the underside of his pants. (audience laughs) And so, (stands up and mimics Jensen) he’s putting his pants on going, (mimics struggling to put his leg through the pants leg) “Why can’t I?” And so, I hear back later- I- Usually because our trailers are always next to each other. I hear, “Jared!” (audience laughs) “Dammit!” And so.. you know, I know I got him.

But, I usually use the help of people. But, I learned early on, also, that, um.. as the only two actors.. on.. the, uh, set normally, unless we have, obviously, one of our reoccurring guest stars or one of our, um, (throws up a hand) temporary guest stars, that we need to team up a lot more than we need to.. work against each other.

With people like Kim Manners, who have been around fer.. a few more years in the business than we have, um, we’re more on the same team now than, um.. against each other. So now, we’re working to plan.. stuff against Kim Manners, specifically. (audience laughs) So.

(points in the crowd) I-I saw a hand in the back earlier… (shakes his head and points again) I’ll go with you.

Fan: (off mic) Me?

Jared: That’s right. (fan laughs)

•(4:23 F, 4:04 MSW, 3:21 I, 2:50 RM, 1:38 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q2a- Fan Appreciation; Sam Portrayal; (cw: family death)

Fan: (off mic) Okay. Hi. (Jared: [off mic] Hi.) Um, I don’t really have a question, just have something I want to tell you.

Jared: (off mic) Alright. (fan giggles) (on mic) Easier for me. (laughs) (audience laughs)

Fan: (off mic)Yeah. (laughs) Um, I wanted to thank you very much for playing Sam because Sam’s helped me through a lot of issues in my life. (Jared nods) I lost my husband six years ago and Sam.. eh-With his loss with death has really helped me and my life. (audience aw’s)

And (huffs a laugh) on top of that w-with Supernatural, I have met some really incredible people online. (Jared: [off mic] [nods] Right.) And we have a little group called the “Supernatural Geek Team.” (laughs) (audience giggles. Jared smiles) And there’s four members here today. (Jared: [off mic] Nice.) The fifth one is not here.

•(4:54 F, 4:36 MSW, 3:52 I, 3:21 RM, 2:10 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q2b- Fan Gift; Supernatural Geek Team t-shirts

So, um, we have actually made t-shirts for you and Jensen, to be honorary Geek Team members. (audience chuckles)

Can I bring it up to you or?

Jared: I’ll take it. (Fan: Okay.) Please. (audience woos and claps)

The fan makes their way across their row and down the aisle, up to the stage holding two t-shirts, a red one and a blue one.

◘Eyecon Jared Padalecki Part3 by tinkabell007◘

Jared: And thank you so much for your.. very kind words also. I mean, we always say this, but we mean it when we say it, (stands up) like y’all really are the reason for the show and.. you know there’s a lot of work out there. (steps down from the stage to meet the fan) And.. that’s why we’re excited to be doing this.

Jared says thank you off mic and gives the fan a hug. The audience aw’s, claps, and cheers. The have an exchange off mic where Jared nods a lot.

Fan: (off mic) (?This red one’s for Jensen. You get the blue one?). (giggles)

Jared: (off mic) Alright. (turns and looks at the blue shirt) I hope I get to be sergeant also. (audience laughs) (nods) Okay, good. (steps back up on stage and then turns back to the fan) As long as it wasn’t gonna- it’ll just- eh-eh- I hope- What’s- I’m sorry?

Fan: (off mic) It’s (?)

Jared: Oh, right on! Cool. (sits back down)

Fan: (off mic) (?)

While Jared is about to sit back down the fan turns and show him what’s on the back the shirt.

Jared: (laughs) Nice. Sammy’s girl. (sits down and nods) (audience screams) That’s right. (audience cheers and claps) Thank you. (nods) That’s right. Sammy’s girl. Pay attention. (audience laughs)

Smith: (off stage) Jared, we have a microphone now.

Jared: Oh, we do have a microphone.

Smith: People- People raise their hands and we’ll send a microphone out to you.

Jared: Right on. (Smith: (?)) (to Smith)..I wanted to be the one with the mic. ‘Cause then I can just start talking into it and everybody kind of just has to listen. (Smith: (?Maybe?).) (audience giggles) Now I have to share the stage. (scrunches his face) (audience chuckles)

◘Jared at EyeCon 1 by Rachel◘

Where did it go?

Audience member: It’s right here.

Audience member: Over there.

•(6:12 F, 5:55 MSW, 5:11 I, 3:39 RM, 2:10 ML, 1:07 T, 0:05 R)- EyeA08JP;Q3- Fav monster killing method; 3x07; ACT FOUR, INT. FACTORY – MACHINE ROOM – CONTINUOUS; thoughts on Sterling K. Brown

Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hi.) I’m Rachel.

Jared: I’m Jared. (audience laughs)

Fan: Hi, Jared. I had no idea. It’s very nice to meet you.

Jared: (sits up) (falsetto) “Hi, Rachel.” (audience laughs)

Fan: Um.. So, in the last three seasons you guys killed a lot of nasties and you’ve used a lot of different methods. Of all the different weapons and techniques you’ve used- you- your characters have (Jared nods) used to kill a bad thing, or not kill them, just get rid of them, what’s your favorite to work with.. of all the weapons?

Jared: That I’ve ever worked with? Or to keep working with?

Fan: Either. Both! Let’s do both.

Jared: You know what? I love the sawed-off shotgun. (audience cheers) (nods) Yeah.

Fan: (chuckles) Better than the regular shotgun?

Jared: Yeah, (nods) you got to go- Yes, sawed-off is better than regular. But, (slaps knee) I was talking at breakfast, I had a great breakfast morning, and I was talking about- (throws up hand) Well, we were talking about the episode with Gordon where I did the barbed wire thing. (audience yeah’s and claps) Yeah.

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 1:54-2:43

And though I was so- it was one of those hard things, because.. I love Sterling. He’s an awesome guy. He’s really talented. He’s really fun to be around. Um, and so I was like, “I don’t want him to die.” (audience laughs) But, I was like, “But, I get to kill him really cool, so.” (smiles) (audience laughs) “That’s alright.” And I started (mimics holding a razor wire) to get the little thing. And I’m like, “Okay, what do I do now?” You know?

Um, but that was kind of the most exciting. Also, because it’s sort of where we saw Sam, um, (nods) get to be badass- bad butt. (stares wide eyed around at the audience) (audience laughs) (snorts)

Audience member: You can say badass.

Jared: (shrugs with his hand) Okay. Okay. Well, I said it. But there’s a-

Hey, there.. Mocha Frappuccino.

•(7:39 F, 6:36 I, 6:05 RM, 2:10 ML, 2:33 T, 1:31 R)- EyeA08JP;Q4- What if; One day with no consequences

Fan: You-You have no idea how glad I am for this microphone. (audience and Jared laugh) Umm. (laughs)

Jared: Nice. (shakes his head) You better not steal my thunder, because I’ll come over there and-

Fan: Are you kidding? I screamed my voice last night. Yesterday I was, like, rejecting my whole life.

Jared: (laughs) Okay, good.

Fan: (laughs) So, um.. This isn’t my question. (Jared nods) This is my best friend’s question. (Jared: [off mic] Okay.)

If you could have one day- live one day without any consequences, what would you do? (audience oo’s)

Jared: What I’d do?

Fan: You can’t kill anyone.. because she says she’d be creeped out.

Jared: (shakes his head) I wouldn’t kill anyone in here. (Fan and audience laughs) (smiles)

Fan: But.. yeah, other than that, what would you do?

◘Jared @ Eyecon - one day, no consequences by miss_lizzie◘

Jared: Uh… without, uh, any consequences… (shakes head) Like, you’re not gonna die if you..

Fan: (off mic) Start electrocuting yourself? No. (laughs)

Jared: I think, I’d- Well, first off, I think my first reaction is I’d eat a lot. (audience laughs) Man, (shakes head) I’d find the best buffet or something. Especially, because I guess you’re not paying for it? (audience laughs) ‘Cause that’s no consequences, so. (audience laughs)

..I’m kind of getting interested in this day now. (smug look) (audience laughs) I’m gonna be in the airplane going home, going, (tilts head, looking up) “What else could I do?” (audience laughs) I’d probably have a lot of food. I’d probably have a lot of steak or something. (audience woo) (smiles)

◘Jared Padalecki - Eyecon 2/2 by Ifodo99◘

(points into the crowd) I see a li- a sweetie in the back, putting her hand on the stage. Could you yell up to me, because I don’t know where the microphone went?

Audience member: It’s here!

Audience member: Right here!

Audience member: Behind the pretty redhead. (audience member laughs. Jared makes a scrunched face)

Audience member: With the girl standing.

•(8:52 F, 7:52 I, 7:18 RM, 3:45 T, 2:46 R, 0:48 ML, 0:11 I)- EyeA08JP;Q5- Acting Challenge; Hardest SPN episode; 3x11

Fan: Um… Um, what was the hardest “Supernatural” episode that you ever did?

Jared: The hardest? That’s a great question. Um, for me the hardest “Supernatural” episode I ever did was actually the last one we shot before the strike, which aired, um, before.. “Jus In Bello.” But we actually shot “Mystery Spot,” at the very end.

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 2:44-4:04

And it was where Dean dies a lot. (audience chuckles and agreement) And that was really hard for me, because, um, it-it was- I mean, it was very fun episode to shoot, uhm, (rotating motion gestured towards his mouth) with the talking over each other and everything like that.

But, to have to keep on.. getting in the mindset of somebody who’s watching your brother and best friend die- Because if you don’t find the truth.. in the character and you don’t find the truth in the moment, then there’s no use in you really acting it. You’re just being lazy.

So, I tried to really commit to it. But, it’s really hard. You’re like, you know what you’re gonna shoot and you’re like, “I don’t wanna shoot that. (short whine) I don’t wanna pretend he’s dying, ‘cause then I’m gonna get sad.” And you’re walking around all sad. (audience chuckles and aw’s)

But.. But, I’m happy now, because he’s alive. (smiles) (audience laughs) So, I don’t have to work all day myself. (audience chuckles)

Where did that mic sneak off to?

•(9:56 F, 8:55 I, 4:51 T, 2:46 R, 1:17 I, 3:44 LM)- EyeA08JP;Q6a- Jared’s Jensen nicknames

Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hi.) While both your firsts names, Jared and Jensen, are great names, surely, you don’t call each other by your first name every time. What do you call each other when it’s just the two of you or among friends?

◘EyeCon Jared Padalecki Q&A video 1 by Chrissy6299◘

Jared: I call him ugly. (audience laughs and cheers) Everybody else calls him pretty, so I know that- At least if I say ugly he knows who’s.. talking to him.

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 2 by sarahmonious◘

◘Jared 3 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘

I think- (laughs) Besides ugly.. I’ll say, um… Nerd, (shakes head) no I’m just kidding. Um. (audience chuckles) I probably call him.. Ackles or Smackles a lot. Smack. (Audience member: Awww.) (nods) Smack. Yeah. (nods) ..That’s probably the most.. common one.

•(5:58 T, 4:26 R, 1:54 I, 0:34 C, 0:25 S, 0:24 RM)- EyeA08JP;Q6b- Jensen’s Jared nicknames

Fan: (off mic) What does he call you?

Jared: He calls me Lord. (audience laughs) Man I wish I could be. Um, (shakes head) Idol. (shakes head) Hero. (shrugs and shimmies hands) Some.. variation of (laughs) that.

I think he calls me Giant. (audience chuckles) Or Stretch or something. Uhm, (nods) I get Stretch a lot. If I hear stretch.. on the set I turn around like they’re talking to me. (audience giggles) And (mimics awkward poses) meanwhile there’s like a yoga instructor going, “Kay, now stretch.” (audience laughs) (turns) (off mic) “What?”

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 4:05-4:23

(shakes head) No yoga instructor on set. (points to head) That was in my head. (audience giggles)

◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 2 by akmcreation◘

Audience member: We’ve noticed. (audience and fan laughs)

Fan: Um, I (?actooly?) have two things. One was going with “Mystery Spot.” I know you’ve said that you’ve had a really great time bringing out, like, the dark side of Sam. Um, what was kind of going through your head through the montage where Sam’s just like a psycho serial killer? (Jared nods and smiles. Audience giggles) ‘Cause that freaked me right out.

Um, and also Sam, finally, memorized the exorcism. Uh, (Jared: Yeah.) Do you have it memorized? Like, could you spin it off right now?

Jared: Umm... (audience laughs) (turns to his right) Uhhh… (to fan) How does it start? (audience giggles) I think, once I get going I can kind of..

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 3 by sarahmonious◘

Audience member: I think, like, it’s Exorcizor te or something like that.

Audience member: Exorcizamus te!

Jared: Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, (swipes finger down) omnis incursion infernalis adversarii, (swipes finger down) (audience claps) omnis legio, (swipes his hand down) omnis congregatio (audience cheers) et secta diabolica.

(nods) That’s bizarre… (audience laughs) What did I just say- (swipes hand) What just came out of my mouth?

◘Jared's Panel @ Eye Con 3 by MrsSammyWinchester◘

Jared: Yeah, who-who knows. I hope I didn’t curse anybody. (waves hand) (audience laughs) That wasn’t directed at anybody. (points at someone in the crowd who just sat down) Except she came late, so it’s your fault. (audience laughs)

Um.. and then the- What- The one before that was…

Fan: (off mic) Um, “Mystery Spot” with the..

Jared: Oh!

Fan: (off mic) Evil Sam!

Jared: Demon Sam. I wanted to be robotic. I wanted to be.. I wanted to be emotionless. Like, all the emotion had.. gone from Sam and he couldn’t hurt anymore. So, he had.. turned off his, um.. will tah.. be attached to anything. I wanted it to be very robotic.

And Kim and I worked it out, because we were like, “Should he be angry? Or should he be.. you know, sad?” And, uh, we ended up, (back and forth gesture) sort of together and coming to the idea that.. he’s not any anymore. (shakes head) It’s gone. He’s gone through so much that.. It’s all there, the anger and the sad, but he’s just pushed it down so much that he’s just on a mission, you know?

So, that’s what I tried to do. (nods and smiles)

Fan: (off mic) It went well. (laughs)

Audience member: You done good! (audience woo)

Jared: Thank you. (audience claps)

Young Fan: I know that monsters aren’t real, but if they were real would you fight ‘em or piss your (?pants?)? (audience aw’s and laughs)

Jared: I would run so fast. (audience laughs) I know my legs are skinny but they can move fast. Unless they were picking on you and then I’d get ‘em. (audience aw’s) (nods and salutes)

Young Fan: (off mic) Thank you! Sorry for the language!

Jared: Uh-oh. Was that Latin? (laughs) (audience laughs) (leans forward) I couldn’t hear it.

Audience member: No. He said- His initial question he said would you fight them or piss your pants and then he apologized for the language. (audience laughs and oh’s)

Jared: (off mic) Oh! I didn’t hear that part!

Jared wide eyed, licks his lips, and then sits back, grimacing with his head turned away from the audience. The audience cackles.

Jared: Well, I wouldn’t fight them, so... (grimaces) (audience laughs) I didn’t realize I was- it was one of two options. (audience laughs) (sits up and gestures) I would do it while running. So, no one would- I still run really fast. (nods)

Jared laughs, pauses, laughs again, shakes his head, and then says, “I’m sorry” and looks down. The audience laughs.

Audience member: You stunned him.

Young Fan: Dallas is your favorite team, right?

Young Fan: Who’s your favorite player on Dallas?

Jared: My favorite player on would probably be.. um, Jason Witten. (two audience woo and a clap) (nods) Yeah. I love Tony Romo, but Jason Witten is a really hard working guy.

Um, and he makes me think that, you know, with hard work and.. a lot of perseverance.. you can get to the top of your game. Plus, he seems cool. Plus, he’s a lot bigger than I am. So, if I ever met him.. I would want to say he’s my favorite player, because he could probably kick my butt. (audience chuckles)

(points to fan) But I have a Tony Romo jersey. Actually, my Christmas present from Jensen.. was a Tony Romo jersey. That same one you’re wearing. And he has one too. So, now me, you, and Jensen all have one. (audience giggles and aw’s) (smiles)

Jared: Hi.

Fan: Hi. Um, I’m loud anyway.

Jared: Nice!

Fan: My question is, you played, um, Dean Forester on “Gilmore Girls” and then you- (audience cheers)

Jared: Oow! (leans back and looks around confused) (audience claps and cheers) (shakes hand) I’m just totally kidding. (audience chuckles)

Fan: And then you went to Sam Wincheser (Jared: Oow! [feigns nonchalance]) on “Supernatural.” (audience laughs and cheers)

Jared: Who did that?

Fan: So, when you went on set, somebody would go, “Okay, Dean, you have to stand there.” Did you, like, go over or when you heard, “Dean” did you turn?

Jared: (nods) I absolutely did. (audience laughs) I absolutely did.

At first- Now everybody calls us Jared and Jensen, but at first (swipes hand) no one knew anybody? And so, it was Sam and Dean. It was, uhm, you know, “Sam’s over there. Dean’s over there.” (wiggles) And so I just start walking. And there I’d see Jensen like, “What are you doing?” (audience laughs) I’m like, “What are you doing?” (audience laughs) (points and leans back) Like, “Oh yeah. I’m just seeing how you’re doing, you know?” (audience laughs) And go over to my mark.

Fan: …Hi.

Jared: Hey, man.

Fan: I’m Stephanie.

Jared: Nice. I’m Jared. (audience chuckles)

Fan: Um, what’s your favorite episode that you’ve filmed?

Jared: First off, that’s my favorite shirt. (audience cackles) (snorts)

My favorite episode I’ve filmed.. would be, uhm… (inhale) That’s a very good question. I’ve never really thought about that. I’ve thought about sort of stuff I’m either proud of or sad with.

But you know what? I- I always go back to the episode “Skin” where Sam and Dean fought. And it was a lot of fun. It was sort of.. the first time in the shooting of “Supernatural” that.. we.. did something so drastically different.

I mean, it was the seventh episode of the series so, um.. So, we were sort of doing the same thing. Huntin’- Hunting a monster and killing it, and then going home. Hunting a monster, killing it, going home. It was like, “You’re gonna fight your brother.” It was like, “Ooo.” I kind of like the, uh- I like the idea of it.

And, um.. I didn’t like that he won, (audience laughs) but I like that he then killed him.. after he won. Which, was kind of bizarre. But, it was a lot of fun to shoot (nods) that sequence.

So, (nods) I- I say “Skin”

•(6:30 A, 5:25 MSW, 2:15 RM, 1:15 R)- EyeA08JP;Q12- thoughts on 2x14; pro BvB

Fan: Hi, Jared.

Jared: How are yah?

Fan: I’m Viyana.

Jared: I’m Jared. (audience chuckles)

Fan: Hi! My personal favorite episode was “Born Under a Bad Sign.” (audience screams)

Jared: (claps knee) No way. (nods) (off mic) Thank you. (nods) Thank you.

Fan: How much fun was that?

Jared: That was a lot of fun. I would actually say that, that.. ranks up there with “Skin.” Because, I got to be bad. And I like that. (nods) Yeah, that was a lot of fun, because Sam got to be tough. And I know he had a demon.. in him.. to make him tough, but (audience giggles) (smiles and shrugs) tough is still tough, right?

I was tired of kind of being like, (bobs back and forth with a thick accent) “Dean, come save me.” (audience laughs) So, um- And it was a lot of fun tah- You know what’s funny? Is that one of the things I liked about “Born Under a Bad Sign” is it pitted the brothers against each other again.

◘Kiwioflurve's EyeCon Adventure- Day 3-Part 1 by Laura M◘ 7:35-7:56

And, not like I’m.. It’s not some repressed thing, (shakes head) “I want to fight Jensen” or anything. (audience laughs) But, it’s just, I think it’s such an interesting story to tell. What would turn two brothers against each other? And of course, both times it’s been either a shapeshifter or a demon. And the brothers actually love each other. They just.. are fighting the demon version of the other.

But, um- eh, I think it’s such an interesting story to tell. And we get along so much, that it’s fun to fight, you know? (audience giggles) (nods and shrugs)

Fan: (off mic) Thanks.

Jared: Thank you.

Fan: I have to thank- Um, first off I have a friend named Evelyn in Indonesia who is a huge fan. And she wanted me to make sure I told you, “Hi, and congratulations on your engagement.” (audience woo and claps)

Jared: Well, (tilts head) tell her thank- Indonesia? (audience laughs)

Fan: Indonesia. (Jared shrugs and nods at the audience) She was the one who told me about this conference, because she heard about it before I did.

Jared: Jared is afraid of.. nothing. (smoldering look to audience) (audience laughs) (shakes head) I’m just kidding. (audience screams) I’m totally a chicken.

Uhm, you know, we were talking about planes at breakfast. And I’m not really scared of flying, unless I’m on the flight with somebody.. who’s a bad flyer. Um, and one time I was in the- I was sitting in the aisle (gestures to his right) and there was a girl sitting on the opposite side of me. She must have been eight or nine years old. And every time there was any turbulence or any noise or anything, she’d go like this (mimics jerking and gripping the arms of a plane chair) (audience laughs and aw’s)

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 4 by sarahmonious◘

And so, at first it sort of just caught me. I was like (jerks and looks to his right) “Oh, (waves hand) she’s alright.” But then she kept getting (jerks) so jumpy that I was like, (jerks and shakes looking at her then looks away pressing his lips together) (audience laughs). And I was like, “Wait, if she’s so scared, I should be scared too.” (audience chuckles) Um, sort of that crazy, you know, one person’s doing it the other person must do it too.

Um, so I’m scared by (squints) an eight year old girls, (audience laughs) (nods) I guess, on planes. (nods) (flips hand up) I guess that’s what it (laughs) boils down too.

Fan: (chuckles) Hi, Jared. Um.. I was kind of wondering, not to be pessimistic, but, like was-

Jared: What’s you’re name?

Fan: Lindsay. Hi.

Jared: Hi, Lindsay.

Fan: Hi. Um, when Supernatural’s over, what are you going to miss the most about.. playing Sam Winchester or.. the entire experience? Because I know you’ve said (Jared nods) that everybody is really close-knit. And everybody has said that.. (Jared nods) yesterday. So, you know, what is- what are you gonna miss the most?

Jared: Um.. I know from sort of.. I guess (squints and shrugs) from kind of experience, like I sort of dealt with this during the strike. ‘Cause, you know, we didn’t know if it was over or not. So, I sort of started missing things about the show, ‘cause we didn’t know if we were coming back.

And I missed the comradery. I missed the comradery that.. this show.. breeds. (gestures around) Like, even between.. us sitting here today. Um.. from the producers and the writers and the people who are making the show, to everybody who works in the cast and crew, to everybody who keeps this show going, there’s such a family aspect to it.

And I’ve worked on some great sh- Like, “Gilmore Girls”? I had a great time. I got along with everybody. I made buddies. I just ran into Milo a week ago, and it was like old times. But, um- But.. this (taps his knee) has been such a family. Like, (gestures to the crowd) I’ve seen so many faces. And got so much support that I feel like from the support of the fans of this show alone I could (flings hand up) go for the rest of my career and not.. get anymore support and be fine, ‘cause I know that people (nods) have been so supportive.

So, I’d have to say.. the.. just general comradery and brotherhood and family that “Supernatural” has built. (shrugs and nods)

(gestures to crowd) That we’re all part of. (audience claps and cheers) So, thank you guys. (claps)

◘Jared at EyeCon 3 by Rachel◘

Jared: Oh, wow.

Fan: And, um, you’re gonna play Thomas Kinkade (Jared nods) in an upcoming movie. And I was wondering since you’re doing that if you had any kind of Art background or interest in Art.. or anything like that?

◘Eyecon Jared Padalecki Part 5 by tinkabell007◘

Jared: I- I’m actually very interested in Art. Um, and I-I did already play Thomas Kinkade. We already finished the movie.

Fan: Oh, (nods) yeah. Okay.

Jared: And I am, uh- I’m happy to say that I did draw.. and paint.. and I am awful. (audience laughs) (shakes head) Awful.

I have so much respect for you, for people that can.. create with (mimics vague arting) things. (audience laughs) Because I tried to draw a tree.. (shrugs) and.. (shrugs) could’ve been a blob. (audience chuckles) I called it a tree.

Um.. but I-I- I have a great doing it. I wish it was a talent. It seems like a great way to, uh- to enjoy nature. I-I go jogging in Stanley Park up in Vancouver and I see people sitting down sketching.

Um, Sandy and I were at a museum over the.. holidays? And people were sitting down sketching sculptures. And I was like, “That’s so much cooler than taking a picture.” (audience laughs) Like, “Here’s my picture.” (smugly wiggles) “Here’s my drawing.” (mimics holding up and out art) (audience laughs)

So, um- but I have no talent. (presses his lips together and shrugs) (audience laugh)

Fan: Um, I wanted to ask you, the “Mystery Spot” (Jared nods) where you were in the diner and you guys were doing that dialogue back and forth, how long that- did you guys take that to do that? (laughs)

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 5 by sarahmonious◘

Jared: It took a while. Um.. not as long as you would think. (holds up a finger) But, since he’s not here, (points off to his right) I’m going to completely blame it on Jensen. (audience laughs) And I’m going.. (points at crowd) into detail. (audience laughs)

Um.. there was a line. I can’t remember exactly what the line is. It’s “Sam Winchester wears make up. Sam Winchester cries.. (turns his head and says quietly off mic) his way through sex.” Um. (laughs) (audience laughs) (squints and looks around) Eh- “And every morning when he-“

..Okay, it was something like.. the- the line where I say- (gestures) Or we say, “And every morning when he wakes up he- (waves hand up) Okay enough!” He would.. do it too early. He’d say, “Every morning when he wake up- wakes up- (waves hand up) Okay! Enough!” And I’d be like, “You’re supposed to say he!” (audience laughs)

And then so- and then.. I wouldn’t say “he,” because I figured (gestures) he wasn’t gonna say it. (gestures) And then he’d say it. (audience laughs) And I was like, (throws hand out) “Well, what are we doing?!” (audience giggles) You know?

But, he’d- he’d like skip a line. But, we had done it, um- We ride together to work, um, every day. We get picked up and go to work. And so, we have about thirty to forty-five minutes in the beginning of the day to go through our lines and think of ideas and to (back and forth gesture) run through cool moments or what we’re gonna do.

◘EyeCon Jared Padalecki Q&A video 4 by Chrissy6299◘

So, we knew that day was going to be big. Because they wanted it to be.. (snaps fingers on a beat) you know, very crisp. And so, we just read the- I had him read it a bunch of times, because the idea is that Sam is mimicking.. Dean. And so, I wanted to know.. what he- how he would say it as Dean.

So, I just had him read it.. again, again, again, again. And I started.. kind of doing it silently as he was doing it. And I was like, (shrugs) “Alright, let’s try it.” And so we gave it a shot. But also right before that scene, uh, we sat in his trailer.. and just were going (rhythmic hand chop gesture) “Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah.”

And then we sort of put our heads down and went straight to set. And we’re like, (swipes hand and gets up) “Don’t talk to us.” (hand chop gesture) We’re like going, “We’re in the zone.” (audience laughs) And so, um- And then we got to set and he ruined it all anyways. (audience laughs) (sits back down)

But, uh, yeah. (nods) That was a lot of fun. That was- When I read that I was like, “That’s gonna be really fun to shoot.” And the only hard- The hardest part was not laughing, because everybody else was laughing. (audience giggles) And so- And it was sort of-

(sits up and holds up a finger) You know what, I also remember- This is weird. Uhm.. (laughs) eh- but as you’re doing it, you’re so surprised and happy that it worked.. that you sort of forget that you have another line coming. (audience laughs) So, (wiggles head) you’re going,

“Uh, you don’t know everything.” “Yes, I do.” “Really?” “Yeah.” “..Sam Winchester wears make up.”

And then you’re like, (excited face) “We did it.” (audience laughs) And then you’re like, (rushes) “Oh yeah, Sam Winchester cries his way through sex.” (audience laughs) (blinks and jerks) “We did it again!” (audience laughs)

And so, you keep on getting excited that you’re doing it that you sort of think about how (pumps eyebrows) cool it was that (proud wiggle) you just talked at the same time. You’re like, “Yeah. We kick ass.” Kick butt. (grimaces) (audience laughs)

But, um, we ended up getting it on (laughs) camera. (flings hand up) So, I guess it worked. (laughs) Thanks.

Fan: Hi. (Jared: Hey.) My name’s Kevin from the UK. (Jared: Nice.) Uh, we’re way, way behind in the, uh, airings. I think we had the Christmas episode about two or three weeks ago.

Jared: Okay.

Fan: That was quite lighthearted in terms of, well, the mutilations and evil Santas. But, (audience and Jared chuckles) lately there’s quite a dark undertone. Do you enjoy doin’ the light hearted stuff more, like when you had the luck char- when you had the unlucky charm where you lost your shoe down the drain? (audience chuckles) That sort of stuff. (Jared: [off mic] Yeah.) Do you enjoy that mainly? Is that break up the whole dark tone of the whole series a little bit?

Jared: You know what? I enjoy it. I’ve never- And I’m (shakes head and hand swipes) totally not fishing here. (hand swipes) I’ve never thought I was funny. I’ve never been like, (mimics confidence) “Yeah.. I can.. get up there and act funny,” you know? I’ve always really liked drama. Um.. and so, it’s been a fun opportunity- That’s why they don’t give me a lot of funny stuff. They’re like, “He’s not funny. (laughs) Don’t give him funny stuff.”

But, anyways, I also- Sam’s such a serious character or has been and it’s such a dark show that it’s hard to really work in comedy, uh, seamlessly. Uh, and we’ve had a few funny episodes. Like we had, uh, one, uh, (points) that- that is a funny one where.. the bad, uh, rabbits foot, and, you know, the “Hell Hounds” episode and the “Tall Tales” episode.

But, um, I have a lot of fun doing it. And I think it’s pleasant to break up the, uh.. to break up the dark. (shrugs) I mean, someone.. someone famous.. said, um, “If you make ‘em laugh, then you can make ‘em cry.” You know? And it’s just the idea that you need the yin and the yang. It can’t just be, you know, “Here we are.. only gonna be dark and scared. And I’m going to be only scared for an hour.”

Like, I think, the writers want to laugh and be scared and cry. The audience wants tah laugh and be scared and, (shrugs) you know, scream and throw things at the- (shakes head) you know. (audience chuckles) So, you-you want to have everything. And I think… I think adding humor actually helps.. accentuate the dark side of the show. (shrugs and nods)

Good question. Thanks, man.. And thanks for.. coming from the UK. I don’t know if you’ve been here for a while, but-

Fan: (off mic) (?I just came from Transylvania and moved to Fergus?). (audience laughs)

◘Jared 6 - Florida Supernatural EyeCon 2008 by rsrvedMom◘

I-I just read, um, obviously, Sam’s going to do everything in his power to save Dean, um, and he’s gonna call on other people that, um, might have powers that Sam does not.. to help. But, we’re going up against a big bad demon so, uh-um, we don’t know how it’s going to work out just yet.

Fan: Hi, I’m Jessica.

Jared: (smiles) Hi.

Fan: Um, I- some of the episodes really sscare us, like, jumping out and everything. Do any of the episodes scared you?

Jared: Yes. Um, a lot of times.. when I’m really heavy in the show, um, it’s hard to be scared because you remember shooting and everything and you’re like, (waves hand and rolls eyes) “Oh yeah, here comes the scare.” But.. the- the one I can remember most recently that really scared me was, uh, “The Kid’s Are Alright” with the little (gestures to mouth) suckling kids. (audience giggles) Um, and the whole reflection thing.

That always scares me, (shakes and swipes hand) where the camera’s coming around (mimics camera pan) and you’re like, “There’s gonna be somebody behind him,” (audience giggles) you know? And you’re just going, “Ew, I can’t wait.” But then it breaks back and then they’re (gestures) behind them on the other side. And you’re like, (scrunches up body) “I wasn’t ready for that! (thumbs behind) I wanted him to be over there with the camera.” (audience giggles)

But, that really scared me. And their faces and.. yeah. When you see them through the mirror and the glass, that was kind of.. spooky. So, yeah, they do scare me.

Most of the times.. w-when I watch the show I’m like... being self-critical or like, “Oh, I wish I would have done that. I wish I would’ve done this.” But that show was really, uh, like De- a Dean episode, you know what I mean? It was all about his backstory with the kid. I think I had two days off. Um, which is (shrugs) ..(shakes head) you know, more than I’ve ever had. (audience chuckles) So, uh- so, I got to watch the show as an audience member. And I remember It scared me.

Fan: (off mic) (?Um, thanks?).

Jared: Hi, Laura.

Fan: Umm- uh, just playing off what you were saying about the mix, I have to say I think season 3 in my opinion has the best mixture per episode of angst, um, (Jared: Oh, [nods] thank you.) humor, and scariness. (nods) But, I think my- I was really sad to see Henriksen go this season. Um-

Jared: To see which?

Fan: Ag-Agent Henriksen.

Jared: (off mic) Oh, I know. (nods) Yeah.

•(8:14 R, 2:01 RM)- EyeA08JP;Q21b- fav reoccurring character; demons

Fan: I hated to see him go. But of all the reoccurring characters, which has been your favorite character and why?

Jared: Character, not actor or actress? (audience giggle) (sits back) Um.. which has been my favorite reoccurring character.. Uhm.. that’s a good question. I did love Henriksen. He was (swipes hand) a lot of fun to shoot with. He was a cool guy and he did a great job. And.. (piling up gesture) added a.. whole new adult element and aspect to the show.

◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 4 by akmcreation◘

Um.. I always like the reoccurring.. (squints eyes) demons.. for some reason, because I feel like.. you know, usually if you’re writing demons that have to be killed off. But even from (counts on fingers) the demon that was Nicki Aycox in season one (audience claps and woo’s) (nods and gestures to the audience) that ended up becoming Sam. And season two for a little bit. (nods)

Yeah, because I think it started to give us an insight into what it is we’re going against. You know, we know ghosts are bad and wendigos are bad. And bugs are bad. (audience laughs) And so, you know- you know, kill those things.

But, um- But it’s really interesting trying to figure out- ‘cause I still like to watch it as an audience member whenever I can and trying to figure out what the writers are thinking. Like, I’m in the same boat as y’all guys. I’m going, “What are the writers doing? What are trying tah.. hint at in this episode that we’re going to see in three episodes and go ‘Ew, yeah. remember when this happened, blah, blah, blah?’?”

So, I like the reoccurring demons. (nods) ..And I guess (gestures to audience) Ruby’s been a really cool character because she’s- she’s revealed so much about.. Sam. And we’re going, “Wait a second, here’s this demon saying.. that, uh, that Sam was supposed to be the leader and, like, she’s trying tah get him to turn into.. (wobbles head) a demonoid?” (chuckles) (audience chuckles) Demoniod? Mandroid. Um, (audience laughs) (points into crowd) (a section cheers) (nods and laughs) Yes.

Um, so, I-I like the reoccurring demons. I think they tell us a lot about the show. (nods)

Jared: Oh, come on. (audience chuckles and aw’s) (jaw drops)

Fan: And we wanted to give them to you. So, can we.. give them to you?

Jared: Please do.

Fan: Okay.

Jared: That’s amazing. Yeah, see. My- (shakes head) My dog drawings look like my human drawings. (audience laughs) (jab points across) It’s like four legs (circle gesture) and a head (swipes hand) and a ear, (gets up) sometimes two.

Audience member: One ear. (laughs)

Jared steps down from the stage and waits for two fans to meet him with the drawings. The audience, looking at the art as it passes them, voices their amazement with the two works of both Sadie and Harley. Two fans hand over the two pieces one at a time to Jared.

Audience member: You gotta show that off Jared.

•(3:33 A, 0:06 T)- EyeA08JP;Q23- What if; choice classic film remake role and costars; Lawrence of Arabia, Johnny Depp

Fan: Um, but I have a question.

Jared: Sure.

Fan: Which is, um, if you could been in a remake of any classic film, which one would you be in and who would you like to have as your costars?

Jared: Oo. (audience oo’s)

Fan: Yeah.

Jared: (exhales) …Wow that’s a great, um, great, great, great question. I think.. mmost recently, um.. the classic film that I- I sort of watched, partially because I hadn’t seen it in a while and partially because.. I was working with him, was “Lawrence of Arabia” with Peter O’Toole.

And that- I watched it and it’s.. (shakes head) I mean, it’s a- a meal of a movie. It’s three- It’s two discs and three something hours, or four hours. And it’s never (hand swipe) boring and it’s (hand swipe) never slow. And I think his character.. L. Lawrence, you know, and- is- is.. so powerful and such a leader.

◘Jared at EyeCon 4 by Rachel◘

And it’s (sits up) exactly how Peter O’Toole is, by the way. He just walks in. He doesn’t.. (hand swipes) disrespect anybody, but he commands respect just the way he holds himself. And I think that’d be a lot of fun to shoot.

And then, my guest star would be, um, Jessica Biel. (audience chuckles) (shakes head) I’m just kidding. (waves hand) Totally kidding.

Umm. I have a lot of actors that I’d love to work with. Um, like, the Johnny Depps, obviously, and, um- (audience woos) Yeah. (nods) So, (flips hand up) I think if I could choose a guest star I’d- Johnny Depp. (audience woo) (nods) Mhm. Ow! (smiles) (audience claps and cheers)

•(5:01 A, 1:33 T, 0:38 R)- EyeA08JP;Q24a- Easiest nuance of Sam’s personality

Jared: Hi.

Fan: Um, can you tell us a little bit about what the easiest aspect of Sam’s personality to tap into besides-

Jared: The looks. (Blue Steel impression) (fan and audience laugh) (giggles)

Fan: I was gonna say besides being a smarty pants? (audience laughs. Jared looks down and claps his mic) But. (smacks lips and chuckles)

Jared: Probably the smart in past tense.

Fan: And what is the hardest to, um, tap into because it’s so unlike you?

Jared: (off mic) (nods) Okay, um.. (on mic) the easiest is theee… Huh. (audience chuckles) (pumps eyebrows) That’s a great question.

◘Jared Padalecki at EyeCon 6 by sarahmonious◘

I think the easiest is probably (squints) he’s analytical mind? Uhm, like I’m definitely a… I don’t want to say I’m a thinker, because that makes me sound like, “I’m intelligent.” (audience chuckles) But, I mean, I- I like to think things out. (weighing gesture) I like to try and see it from different aspects and it was easy for me to, uhm- to, uhh.. (gestures) kind of get into that aspect of Sam’s character.

You know, seeing it from this angle instead of that angle. Instead of just the first angle, trying to play.. devil’s advocate. Like, I’ll find myself arguing with Sandy sometimes and saying something that (squints and shrugs) I don’t even think is true, (shrugs) but I’m just saying it to see where it goes, you know? (audience giggles)

And so, I think Sam has a little bit of that. Sam’s like, (holds hand out) “Wait, Dean. Like, what about this?” You know? “What if the demon’s good?” Even if Sam thinks the demon is bad, or knows that the demon is bad, he’s saying let’s think it out first.

•(6:18 A, 1:55 R, 0:50 S)- EyeA08JP;Q24b- Acting Challenges; Hardest nuance of Sam’s personality; 3x14

And the hardest part.. has been, um… The hardest part has beenn.. his willingness to.. sacrifice himself.. (audience chuckles) for, uh- for, uh, tah hunt ghosts. I mean, it’s-it’s hard tah.. It’s hard to tap into that in reality, you know? It’s hard to go like, “Oh yeah, that’s kind of how- like, how I like tah, you know, chase spirits.” (audience laughs) “Um, I’ll just tap into that part.”

So, anything to do with the supernatural has been very.. It’s-It was tough at first to find the reality, because you’re going, (sits up with chest puffed up) “Watch out for the wendigo,” you know? And you want to say it like, (imposing hero pose) “Dun-dah-duun.” But, um, (audience laughs) you have to remember that it’s real and that you’re very scared, but you know what it is. And so his knowledge of ghosts sometimes.

There’s a- there’s a scene that we just shot.. and I’m saying- and the girls saying, you know, “It said ‘Come to me.’” And I’m going, “What words.. did he use?” And she says, “Come to me like a million times.” And then it hits Sam like, “Oh it’s this.” And I’m like, (shrugs and Texas draw) “I don’t know what it is.”

But Sam knows his dad’s journal back and forth about all these demons. So, that’s been the toughest part. (smiles)

Where is it now? I see so.. many hands.

Jared nods.) and most of all of Wincest? (audience disapproval intensifies. Jared closes his eyes, smiles, and nods.) Because, Jared, Jensen has said a few things. We wanna know your opinion.

Jared: I’m obviously a little.. spooked by Wincest. Because I’m like, “Is that.. (scrunched face) Jensen!? Ahh!” (audience laughs) Um. (laughs)

But the fan-fiction and the RPG’s I think is- is sort of an aspect of what I was talking about earlier about how everybody’s.. (gestures) taking a part in, um- in “Supernatural.” And they’re not just (shakes head) watching it to, you know- I don’t see anybody writing.. episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy,” you know? Like, “And then the doctor will say this and use a scalpel.” But they become really passionate.. about the show.

And then I think, um- I think especially for the fans of “Supernatural” it’s great. It’s a great.. (expanding gesture) learning tool and (expanding gesture) exploring tool to explore this world. (shrugs and nods) So, I’m supportive. (nods and smiles) (audience claps and cheers) (pats mic)

But, (nods) yeah, yeah. I’d have to agree with you on that.

Fan: What’s your favorite and what would you like to do? (?Star?) in a new one?

Jared: I’d say- I’ve- I’d totally say “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” (fan giggle) um, is my favorite, (holds up hand) not to just steal from you. But, that’s where originally got me, um, into Westerns. That’s my father’s.. second favorite movie. His favorite is “Ben-Hur.” (shrugs) (audience laughs and a woo) And his second favorite is “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” so he would watch it regularly.

And I’d- I’d sit down- At first when I was a kid I was like, (scrunched face) “I need more explosions,” you know? Like, “What’s with all this sand and stuff?” But, now as I’ve grown older and thought, “It’d be cool to be tough.” I’d definitely go with “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”.

Jared: (off mic) Oh really. (audience giggles)

•(5:12 A, 2:44 T, 2:13 R, 0:44 RM)- EyeA08JP;Q31c- Fan Appreciation; Dean Forester, Jared’s acting, Jared, Sandy, Jensen

Fan: But, um, we made that for you and my.. friend wanted to, you know, like I said, congratulate you and.. she’s actually is the one that got me into the.. whole.. (Jared nods) because I used to watch “Gilmore Girls” and I was- (Jared: [nods] Awesome.) I am a big Dean and Rory. And I was like-

Audience member: Dean!

Jared: (nods) Alright.

Fan: I was, like, upset with Rory when she (Jared nods) went with.. Milo, but, um.. (smack lips)

Jared: But, Milo’s a nice guy. But-

Fan: Yeah. (Jared nods) But, I wanted to say, you know, out of me and her (Jared nods) that (?we- we vote?) that you’re a very good actor. (smiles and nods) You inspire both of us. We love doing RPG’s. Um, but, we just wanna say thank you (Jared: Thank you.) for, you know, being you and.. (?her both?).

Jared: Well, thank y’all guys.. (fan giggles) very much. (audience claps) I didn’t do anything. (Fan: (?you’re welcome?).) So, thank you for your support for making it possible.

Fan: Morning, Jared.

Jared: Good morning.

Fan: I just wanted to tell you-

Jared: It is morning still, huh. (nods)

Fan: I was on the elevator with Sandy and she’s freezing cold. So, you might want to cover her after this. (audience chuckles)

Jared: I’ll hug her. I don’t know about Jensen, but I’ll hug Sandy. (audience laughs) (smiles)

•(4:05 T, 0:15 RM)- EyeA08JP;T6- Fear of Celebrities; Biting Bit

Fan: Um, some of my friends would never go to a con because they’re afraid of.. celebrities for some reason?

Jared: Oh really?

Fan: Yeah. But, I got friends-

◘Jared at EyeCon 6 by Rachel◘

Jared: We do bite. (Fan: Yeah, (?good friends?)-) (audience laughs and catcalls) (leans back and forward laughing) Y’all are so easy. (bites air) (audience laughs) (shakes hand)

◘Jared Padalecki at Eyecon Q&A 6 by akmcreation◘

Fan: One of ‘em wished you would bite her, but anyway. (audience mixed reaction)

Jared: (eyes wide then beckoning gesture) Bring her on up. (audience laughs) (shakes head) Just kidding.

•(4:27 T, 0:38 RM, 0:17 R, 0:13 A)- EyeA08JP;T7- Convenient missing friends

Fan: Um, they.. actually solicited questions for me to ask you? (nods and shrugs) And one of the really good ones that I liked was-

Jared: (to audience) I love how she- (hold hand up to fan) I love how she blames her friends first. (audience laughs) It’s gonna be like, “What size underwear do you wear? (hand swipe) For my friend, who couldn’t make it.” (audience laughs) (chuckles)

•(4:42 T, 0:52 RM, 0:32 R, 0:27 A)- EyeA08JP;Q32b- Facial Expressions; 2x20, 3x08; ACT ONE, INT. MOTEL ROOM – DAY; Peter O’Toole, Daniel Day-Lewis, Johnny Depp

Fan: I actually have (?how it told me was?) yesterday because my friend so, you know. I’ll ask any- Like, in “What is and What Should Never Be” you did what people refer to as the “Prissy Bitch Face” in the alternate universe.

Jared: (off mic) (eyebrows up, slowly leans back laughing) Prissy Bitch Face? (audience laughs)

Fan: Yeah.

Jared: (mouths Ow, grimaces, leans forward, and rubs jawline) Zinger right (mimics punching his jaw) across the (Fan: No!).. jaw there. (Fan: In-) I’m gonna go cry in the corner.

Fan: No! In the Christmas episode when you said, “Bad Santa” you made this really cool expression on your face. I just wondered do you.. know you’re doing those expressions (audience laughs) or do you do them on purpose?

Jared: I have no idea. (audience laughs)

Fan: I think that they’re- really they’re awesome when you do ‘em. I mean, (Jared: Thank you.) you do really good with your facial expressions.

Jared: (chuckles) I- Thank you.

Fan: Um, but, I- she just wanted me to ask you that.

Jared: Yeah. (shakes head) No, I never- I’ve never known. That’s- that’s the God’s honest truth. I-I- When I was working with, um- It’s such a name drop, but when I was working with Peter O’Toole, who’s obviously an amazing, amazing actor, arguably the greatest of all time, he was saying he’s never, ever, ever, ever in his life done a line to a mirror. He’s saying never.

And I.. thought it and I was like, “Let’s see, eight Oscar nominations and he doesn’t care what he looks like.” He says, uh, “It should just come out through you and you shouldn’t.. be worried about what you look like doing it, because it’ll come across.” So, I just sort of try and- I read things like that. Like, I read things Daniel Day-Lewis writes and, you know, Johnny Depp writes or actors, eh- “Inside the Actors Studio” and I try and.. be like them. (smug face) So, I can say I’m like them. (audience giggles) So, I’m a lot like Peter O’Toole. (shrugs) (audience laughs and claps)

(laughs) Thank you.

(looks around) Where did it go?

•(6:13 T, 2:24 RM, 2:03 R, 1:59 A, 3:14 ML)- EyeA08JP;Q33- Acting Challenges; Stunts; 3x03; Falling down vs set on fire; House of Wax

Fan: (stands up and waves) Hi.

Jared: (up pitch) Hi! (audience chuckles)

Fan: Um, in “Bad Day at Black Rock” what was harder, all the falling down or being set on fire? (audience laughs)

Jared: (to audience) We had breakfast together. She waited all this time to ask so she.. (yanks himself to adjusts his posture) embarrass me in front of y’all guys.

Um.. (nods) the set on fire is always.. (squints) odd when they tell you. When they tell you, “You’re gonna do a funt scene-“ a-a funt scene? “A stunt scene.” (scrunches face) Funt? What’s a funt? (audience laughs) Uh, when they tell you you’re gonna do a stunt scene, like, a falling stunt scene, you’re like, “Okay. You know, I’ll put knee pads on.. make sure I don’t.. bust my kneecap open or my elbow or something.”

But, then when they tell you, “Oh yeah, next episode we’re gonna set you on fire.” You’re like, (leans forward laughing and hand swipes) “So, what’s going on next episode?” “We’re going to set you on fire.” (hand swipes) “Hah-hah-hah-hah.” (audience laughs)

So, uhm, that was definitely (laughs) kind of weird. So, I’d say being set on fire was probably the most uncomfortable thing (hand wave) I had to do for the show period. (shrugs) Because it’s.. fire. (audience laughs) (flips up hand and shrugs) Very simple, it’s not like, (flatten gesture) “Let’s keep it contained. It’s fire.” (flips up hand) It’s like putting a bear on set and going, (holds up hand) “Let’s hope he’s okay.” (audience laughs)

And plus! (gestures to audience) I mean, I have bad experience with fire. I wasn’t there on set, but during “House of Wax,” um, an errant fire burnt the stage down. So, you can’t control fire. (hands out gesture) And if you can then, (beckon gesture) we need it on set. (audience laughs) Um, so, (nods) I-I’d say that.

Where did it go?

◘Eyecon - Jared Padalecki Part 9b by tinkabell007◘

Jared: (to AM) I’ll try not.

Fan: Or, um.. is it like-

Jared: (nods) It’s a retelling. It’s more of a, um… I read that it was like, the difference between a prequel and a sequel and a midquel? (audience chuckles) I guess, it’s a midquel. It’s a- It’s a retelling of the story. (shakes head) It’s not a remake, um, of the original. Um, it’s-it’s sort of a whole new telling.

It’s almost more, like, another “Friday the 13th” movie then it is a remake of “Friday the 13th”.

Jared: They’ve never been in Dallas. They’ve always been in Irving.

Jared: So, even with the stadium.

Fan: Yeah. Well, no they’re going to change it to Arlington Cowboys.

Jared: (scrunches face) Oh, really?

Fan: Like, how ‘bout them Arlington Cowboys. It just sounds retarded to me.

Jared: (shakes head) Yeah. (audience giggles)

Fan: I just wondered what you thought about that (giggles).

Jared: In the.. episode “Hollywood Babylon” where we visit the, uh, Warner Brother Studio to go visit the “Gilmore Girls” set, which is funny because we shot it in Vancouver, um, not where they shot “Gilmore Girls.” But it was totally o-our writers decision, um, (nods) to put in “Gilmore Girls” and have me go, “Uhhhhh.” (hand swipe) and, you know, take off.

Brooklyn Charity: A Diocesan/Vincentian Partnership

There was Catholic Charity in Brooklyn before it was a diocese, before it was a city, and long before the day that Father William J. White was named the first diocesan supervisor of Catholic Charities.

This is the opening line to the "History of Catholic Charities: Diocese of Brooklyn." Monsignor William White would eventually be given the task to coordinate the various charitable activities of Brooklyn on April 1st, 1899 but records show that the earliest Catholic institution to promote charity in Brooklyn took place on October 1829. Responding to the needs of orphans The Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum Society was formed in Brooklyn and an instrumental partner in the housing of these "foundlings" was Elizabeth Ann Seton's Sisters of Charity, a religious community of women who adapted the Vincentian rule.

Of course it must be recognized that the care of orphans, besides being one of the oldest biblical works of mercy along with the care of widows and foreigners, was the earliest charitable program of St. Vincent DePaul's himself. in 1638 St. Vincent, alongside St. Louise de Marillac and her sisters, would organize safe lodging for the orphabed children of Paris. St. Vincent would establish a rule for the daughters of charity based on this charitable mission.

They will reflect that their ministry is to serve the Infant Jesus in the person of each baby they are raising, and in this they have the honor of doing what the Blessed Virgin did to her dear Son, since He affirms that the service rendered to the least of His people is rendered to Himself. In accordance with that, they will do their utmost to raise these poor children with as much attention and respect as if it were to the very person of Our Lord.” (Vincent DePaul, n.d., 13b: 209)

Eventually the diocese would take shape in 1853 when Bishop John Loughlin was installed. Loughlin established an enduring legacy for the role that charity would have in this diocese. In some ways he was a maverick who prioritized charitable programs over the development of its own Cathedral which remained fairly humble. It appears that he was a thorn of the side to Archbishop Michael Corrigan (who was portrayed having issues with another champion of charity, Mother Cabrini in the recent movie "Cabrini") for Loughlin's unwavering support of charity and social justice when Corrigan wanted to play nice with the powers that be. Throughout this entire time the Vincentians were a perfect partner in crime. In 1855 Loughlin supported the foundation of a St. Vincent DePaul conference. At that time the society had only existed for 20 years. Bishop Loughlin was no stranger to the spirituality and gifts of this community. As a young priest in New York he sponsored the first conference into the city. With charity as a central focus of the Brooklyn Catholic community (at that time engulfing all of Long Island) the the relationship between the developing diocese and the Vincentian community was an obvious one.

The tie that binds our two Catholic institutions is our commitment to institutional charity. The field of social work originates from this orientation. While charity is a core value for all Catholics, it was the works of Sts. Vincent and Louise and the community that followed which took seriously the institutionalization of our social ministries. The Vincentian charism challenges us to see Christ in the face of those in need and what this means for our social ministries. Bl. Frederic Ozanam, the founder of the St. Vincent DePaul Societies, continued developing the social ministry framework that is crucial for us today.

Almsgiving alone, alms that are not accompanied by words and love, is a humiliation for the one who receives it. Do we need to remember that man does not live by bread alone, that the Savior himself does not only ask to be clothed and fed in the person of the poor, but also visited and consoled? Will we have to expose everything that the masters of charity up to St. Vincent de Paul have taught us about the delicate behavior that takes into account the legitimate susceptibility of the poor?

St. Vincent DePaul and the diocese of Brooklyn may have started with addressing the needs of the orphans but it did not end there. Sts. Vincent and Louise organized centers of care and hospitality for refugees. They provided assistance to many who were displaced. They organized food distribution and soup kitchens. They also provided for education and job training. Today the Vincentian community is a worlwide phenomenon established in the service industries, of social work, health care, and education. They continue to be recognized for their ongoing prison and parish social ministries. They are now leaders in the field of promoting systemic change with creative microlending projects like St. John's G.L.O.B.E initiative.

As already mentioned, in 1899 Bishop McDonnell re-organized the charitable ministries in the Brooklyn Diocese and institutionalized our Catholic Charities agency. By 1913 when Brooklyn Catholic Charities had its second director, Fr. Francis O'Hara, Catholic Charities had nearly fifty charitable institutions. Today, under the leadership of the 8th Bishop of Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan and CCBQ's present CEO Monsignor Alfred LoPinto, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Brooklyn runs 160 programs including food distributions, case management, migrant assistance, ESL, workforce development, behavioral health, early childhood programs, housing for seniors and the disabled.

But as we celebrate our 125th anniversary we dare not forget that all this effort began through an essential partnership with our Vincentian brothers and sisters. There is an amazing convergence between the mission of our two organizations. As we celebrate this milestone we do it stretching our hand to our dear friends in order to make sure that we continue to serve this legacy together.

JÉSUS CHRIST, LE OINT

Tout au long du Nouveau Testament, nous rencontrons de nombreux titres pour Jésus de Nazareth : « Fils de Dieu », « Fils de l'homme », « Seigneur » et d'autres encore. Cependant, le titre qui est donné le plus souvent à Jésus dans le Nouveau Testament nous est familier, mais nous ne le comprenons pas bien. C'est le titre « Christ ».

Pourquoi je dis qu’on ne comprend pas bien ce titre ? Je le dis parce que « Christ » est si souvent utilisé en conjonction avec « Jésus » que nous avons tendance à le considérer comme son nom de famille. Cependant, « Christ » n'est pas un nom secondaire pour Jésus ; Il aurait été connu sous le nom de « Jésus Bar-Joseph », ce qui signifie « Jésus, fils de Joseph ». « Christ » est plutôt le titre suprême de Jésus. Mais qu'est-ce que ça veut dire?

La signification du Christ est tirée de l'Ancien Testament. Dieu a promis aux anciens Israélites qu’un Messie viendrait les délivrer du péché. L'idée du Messie est reprise dans le Nouveau Testament sous le titre Christ. Le mot grec Christos, à partir duquel nous obtenons le mot anglais Christ, est la traduction du terme hébreu Mashiach, qui est la source du mot anglais Messie. Mashiach, quant à lui, est lié au verbe hébreu masach, qui signifie « oindre ». Par conséquent, lorsque le Nouveau Testament parle de Jésus-Christ, il dit « Jésus le Messie », ce qui signifie littéralement « Jésus l'Oint ».

À l’époque de l’Ancien Testament, les gens étaient soumis à l’onction lorsqu’ils étaient appelés aux fonctions de prophète, de prêtre et de roi. Par exemple, lorsque Saül est devenu le premier roi d’Israël, Samuel, le prophète, a oint sa tête d’huile lors d’une cérémonie (1 Sam. 10 : 1). Ce rite religieux était accompli pour montrer que le roi d'Israël avait été choisi et doté par Dieu pour la royauté. De même, les prêtres (Ex. 28 :41) et les prophètes (1 Rois 19 :16) étaient oints sur ordre de Dieu. Dans un sens, toute personne dans l’Ancien Testament qui était mise à part et consacrée à une tâche de serviteur était un messie, car c’était quelqu’un qui recevait une onction.

Mais le peuple d’Israël attendait avec impatience cet individu promis qui ne serait pas simplement un Messie mais le Messie, Celui qui serait suprêmement mis à part et consacré par Dieu pour être leur Prophète, Prêtre et Roi. Ainsi, au moment de la naissance de Jésus, il y avait un fort sentiment d’impatience parmi les Juifs, qui attendaient leur Messie depuis des siècles.

Étonnamment, lorsque Jésus a commencé son ministère public, peu de gens l’ont reconnu tel qu’il était, malgré l’évidence écrasante qu’il possédait une onction de Dieu qui surpassait de loin celle qui reposait sur n’importe quel autre homme. Nous savons qu'il y avait une grande confusion à son sujet même après qu'il ait exercé son ministère pendant un certain temps. À un moment donné, Jésus a demandé à ses disciples : « Selon les gens, qui est le Fils de l'homme ? (Matthieu 16 : 13b). Il prenait le pouls de sa culture, obtenant des retours sur les rumeurs le concernant. En réponse à la question de Jésus, les disciples ont coché plusieurs opinions qui étaient avancées : « Les uns disent Jean-Baptiste, d'autres disent Élie, et d'autres encore Jérémie ou l'un des prophètes » (v. 14). Jésus était identifié à toutes sortes de personnes, mais aucune de ces spéculations n’était correcte.

Alors Jésus demanda à ses disciples : « Mais, selon vous, qui suis-je ? » (v. 15b). Pierre a répondu par ce que l'on appelle la grande confession, une déclaration de sa croyance quant à l'identité de Jésus : « Tu es le Christ, le Fils du Dieu vivant » (v. 16). Avec ces mots, Pierre a déclaré que Jésus était le Christos, le Machia'h, l'Oint.

Alors Jésus dit une chose intéressante. Il a dit à Pierre qu'il avait la chance d'avoir cette compréhension de l'identité de Jésus. Pourquoi a-t-il dit cela ? Jésus a expliqué : « Car ce n'est pas la chair et le sang qui vous ont révélé cela, mais mon Père qui est aux cieux » (v. 17). Pierre avait reçu une vision divine selon laquelle Jésus était le Messie ; ce n’était pas quelque chose qu’il avait discerné par ses propres capacités. Encore une fois, cela m’étonne car on pourrait penser que presque tous ceux qui ont rencontré Jésus l’auraient immédiatement reconnu comme le Messie. Après tout, l’Ancien Testament ne manque pas d’informations sur le Messie à venir – où il naîtrait, comment il se comporterait et quelle puissance il manifesterait – et tout le monde pouvait voir ce que Jésus avait fait – ressusciter les morts. , guérissant toutes sortes de maladies et enseignant avec une grande autorité. Mais bien entendu, ils ne l’ont pas fait. L'onction de Jésus n'était pas immédiatement apparente.

Beaucoup de gens aujourd’hui ont des choses positives à dire sur Jésus en tant que modèle de vertu, grand enseignant, etc., mais ils ne vont pas jusqu’à dire qu’il est le Messie. C’est le grand fossé entre chrétiens et incroyants. Seul celui qui est né de nouveau peut confesser que Jésus est le Christ. Peux-tu?

Resonance for 2023-07-03

What got my attention?

Not an hour goes by without some podcast, blog post, vlog, or news article bringing up the term Large Language Models (LLMs). It’s generative AI, in-your-face, 24x7.

Seeing as how I’m hip-deep in experiments with generative AI and dataset governance, I am not going to break ranks. The past weeks have required me to dig deep into the use of technologies that are adjuncts of the Large Language Models (LLMs). In particular, I have been hacking up open source LLMs, vector databases, frameworks, deployment platforms … all in pursuit of building a source of inference and intelligence around a proprietary set of documents. It’s been eye-opening, and (…I admit it…) a lot of fun.

To get a broader perspective, I found myself reading posts that provide an overview of the technology ecosystem for AI. It was worth the time spent.

What’s Required for Autonomous Agents

Michelle Fradin and Lauren Reeder of Sequoia reported on their interviews with over thirty Sequoia startup and emerging technology companies that are crafting their AI strategies. They summarized their findings in The New Language Model Stack:

Nearly every company in the Sequoia network is building language models into their products.

The new stack for these applications centers on commercial language model APIs, retrieval, and orchestration, but open source usage is also growing.

Companies want to _customize _language models to their unique context.

Today, the stack for LLM APIs can feel separate from the custom model training stack, but these are blending together over time.

The stack is becoming increasingly developer-friendly.

Language models need to become more trustworthy (output quality, data privacy, security) for full adoption.

Language model applications will become increasingly multi-modal.

It’s still early.**

They flesh out each of these points in the post, which is definitely worth reading.

The Variety in Building LLM Applications

Matt Bornstein and Raja Racovanovic of Andreessen Horowitz authored Emerging Architectures for LLM Applications, an excellent treatment of the Emerging LLM App Stack, with components that included

data pipelines

embedding models

vector databases

‘playgrounds’

Orchestration and chaining

APIs and plugins

Caching for LLMs

Logging and (it had to happen soon) LLMOps

App hosting

the proprietary and open source LLM APIs

Cloud Service Providers

‘opinionated’ / specialty clouds

Their discussion and explanation of Data Preprocessing and Embedding is excellent in that they detail the various flavors of vector databases. Also important, they treat Prompt Construction and Retrieval separately from Prompt Execution and Inference.

Their treatment of agents and agent frameworks is a bit light, but that might be a function of the small number of companies that have incorporated Agent Frameworks in production offerings.

(While you’re on this page, take advantage of the related stories. Most of them are really worth your time.)

Moats? We don' have no moats.

In early May, an anonymously authored document entitled We Have No Moat, And Neither Does OpenAI was making the rounds inside Google, when it leaked and made a lot of waves. At the time, I read portions of the document which were included in various posts, but it wasn’t until last week that I sat down and read the document in its entirety. SemiAnalysis authors Dylan Patel and Afzal Ahmad released the document (with some clean up), and for that we should thank them.

The TL;dr:

Google and OpenAI, arguably the two most advanced organizations in generative AI have spent billions getting to their respective positions. But the real competitive threat comes from open source.

While our models still hold a slight edge in terms of quality, the gap is closing astonishingly quickly. Open-source models are faster, more customizable, more private, and pound-for-pound more capable. They are doing things with $100 and 13B params that we struggle with at $10M and 540B. And they are doing so in weeks, not months. This has profound implications for us:

**We have no secret sauce. **Our best hope is to learn from and collaborate with what others are doing outside Google. We should prioritize enabling 3P integrations.

**People will not pay for a restricted model when free, unrestricted alternatives are comparable in quality. **We should consider where our value add really is.

**Giant models are slowing us down. **In the long run, the best models are the ones which can be iterated upon quickly. We should make small variants more than an afterthought, now that we know what is possible in the <20B parameter regime.

Among the many points the document then raises as to how this situation has emerged, two stand out for me.

Retraining models from scratch is the hard path

Large models are not more capable in the long run if we can iterate faster on small models

Data quality scales better than data size (i.e. the volume of data)

The timeline included is the screenplay of a movie … arguably a great movie for tech geeks and business school case studies some time in the future, but a movie nonetheless.

This is an important document to read and keep in mind, even if you do not agree with all the points.

Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 4 * BOOK 77 CONNECTING THE DOTS OF SCRIPTURE – PART 40 Genesis – Revelation (The Tribulation) For those of you joining us on television, again, we’d like to invite you to what I think is a simple Bible study. We try to make the difficult things simple and interesting. And again, we want to thank you for your prayer support, financial support, and your mail. We read every letter. The other night it took us to midnight almost, didn’t it, honey? Boy, we had a bunch the other day. So anyway, we just want you to search the Scriptures and study them. And be prepared to answer questions that are thrown your way, because after all, that’s what we’re here for. We’re ambassadors, and we are to share our position in Christ. We’re going to go back and pick up the remnant of Israel that’s going to flee to the mountains as we saw Jesus warn them in Matthew 24 in our last program. It’s going to be a mixed group of people. And I’m emphasizing that because a lot of people confuse this escaping remnant with the 144,000, which is also a remnant. Hopefully in this half hour we’ll separate those two entities that are not the same. This remnant that Jesus talks about in Matthew 24 and what Revelation 11 and 12 are taking about is a cross section of Israeli society. After all, the whole idea of this remnant is to be there and ready to go into the Kingdom. And you want to remember, Israel is going to be the largest nation in the Kingdom because of their largest number of entrants. We’re going to have, as we saw earlier this afternoon, one third of Israel’s population—which would be around five million if it’s in the near future. That will be far more than from any other single nation on earth, although there will be a scattering from every nation. This remnant of Israel, which will be one third of the total or around five million, is going to be supernaturally protected by God out in some sort of a wilderness situation where all the horrors of the Tribulation will not touch them. But I feel that they go out in unbelief, and they will become a saved nation when they see Christ returning. When they see Him coming in all of His power and glory, every last Jew in this remnant will become a believer. We will, hopefully, have time to show that before the afternoon is over. So, if you’ll come back in with me to Revelation chapter 11, we’ll repeat the last part of verse 13. Revelation 11:13b “…and the remnant were affrighted, (Because of all that’s happened as well as the earthquake.) and gave glory to the God of heaven.” I feel that will be as they are supernaturally escorted out of the city. Never forget what Jesus said in Matthew 24, that you’ve got the people living on the housetop, which I feel are the retired, the wealthy who are pretty well set. The instructions are, don’t take anything from your house – just get going. You’ve got the working class, and you’ve got the young mothers and the children and so forth. So, you have a complete cross section in this remnant of the one third that we saw back in Jeremiah and Zechariah. Now let’s pick them up across the page in my Bible, anyway—Revelation chapter 12 verse 6. Now remember, the woman is now going to be considered the whole nation of Israel, even as Paul spoke of the woman in Romans chapter 11. They become the whole even though there are only a third of them left. Revelation 12:6 “And the woman (This one third I feel that are escaping from the area of Jerusalem.) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, (a supernatural thing) that they (the Godhead) should feed her there (out in this wilderness situation) for a thousand two hundred and three score days.” Three-and-a-half years—from the mid-point until the end. Now keep my beginnings and endings straight. The anti-Christ opens the seven years back there in Revelation 6 verse 1, and the two witnesses appear. Three-and-a-half years took us to the mid-point, when the anti-Christ went into the Temple and defiled it.

This ended the first three-and-a-half years. All right, now at the beginning of this second half, we have this escaping remnant. They are going to be protected for another 1,260 days, which takes you to the end of the Tribulation. And when they get to the end and Christ returns, they’ll be ready to go in and enjoy a refurbished, regenerated, and reconstituted—those are all words the Scripture uses—which prepare the earth like a Garden of Eden for this 1,000 year Kingdom reign. All right, so God prepares a place, and they’re going to be fed there for 1,260 days or three-and-a-half years. Now, the interesting part of the flight is in verse 13, still in chapter 12. Revelation 12:13-14 “And when the dragon (That’s another name for Satan. Remember, he is working hand and glove with the man anti-Christ.) saw that he was cast unto the earth, (out of heaven for the last time) he persecuted the woman (this remnant of Israel) which brought forth the man child.” Now verse 14 is God’s intervention. Revelation 12:14-15 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, (the one spoken of in verse 6) where she is nourished for a time (one year), and times (plus two years), and half a time (half a year), from the face of the serpent. 15. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Now you’ve got to remember that this is all language of symbolism. And what we have to put to this is a reality. So, since Satan and the anti-Christ are in control of everything, and they see this fleeing remnant of the Jews, what are they going to do? They’re going to send out a command to some military to go and destroy these escaping Jews headed for the wilderness. Now, before I go back to Exodus, we’re going to finish this account. So read on, if you will, in verse 15. Revelation 12:15 “And the serpent (That is Satan, who is, like I said, using the man anti-Christ.) cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Well, that’s just a military command to go and destroy these escaping Jews. Now verse 16, supernaturally now, don’t lose that—supernaturally. Revelation 12:16 “And the earth helped the woman, (this escaping remnant) and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood (Or that military contingent that the anti-Christ has sent out after them. The earth opens up and swallows up this group of military.) which the dragon cast out of his mouth.” It just simply and utterly destroys them. Now what we have to do is go back to Exodus and understand that this is just a repeat of what has happened before. Exodus chapter 19 and this is, of course, after Israel has gone through the Red Sea. The Red Sea closed over the Egyptian military and destroyed every one of them without the loss of a single Jew. Now they’re safely encamped around Mount Sinai, and Moses goes up into the mountain to meet with God. Verse 3 and as you read, constantly compare this with Revelation. Revelation is just a repeat under a little different circumstance. But on the whole, it’s the same thing as you have here. Exodus 19:3-4 “And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; (Now watch it.) 4. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, (What did He do? He drowned them all in the Red Sea.) and how I bare you (the Jews out of Egypt) on (What?) eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.” Well, we’ve got to stop now and be careful. They didn’t fly, did they? No. They walked. But it was a supernatural exodus that got them ahead of the Egyptian armies. Far enough that they never touched even the rear echelons of the Jews. And it was a miraculous thing that brought them all the way out to Mount Sinai after the Red Sea experience. The Scripture calls it “on eagles’ wings.

” Well, it’ll be the same thing for this escaping remnant at the middle of the Tribulation. They’re going to escape out of Jerusalem and Judea just as miraculously as they did coming out of Egypt. So the language is the same. “I bare you on eagle’s wings, and brought you unto myself.” Now come back to Revelation 12 just for a moment, again. We find that they have been brought to this place of safety where Jesus said they would be protected until the end of the Tribulation. Now back in Revelation 12 where we just left off, verse 17—after he sees the destruction of his military force and not the loss of a single Jew, he knows that he cannot do anything more with them, because God is still greater than Satan. Now he turns his anger. Verse 17: Revelation 12:17 “And the dragon (Satan) was angry with the woman, (That is this nation as a whole.) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (But now here’s a different remnant than the one that Satan just missed. This is a remnant--) who keep the commandments of God, and (keep, or) have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Now what remnant is this? Well, this is the 144,000. This is not the escaping remnant that we just read about that escaped as on eagle wings—which went out in unbelief. They’ll stay there in unbelief until they see Christ coming, and then they will believe to the last Jew. I feel that’s what Isaiah 66 means when it says, “will Israel be born in a day?” Yes. When that whole five million to the last Jew will become believers, and not a one will be lost. Now, I told you I would show you where I get that. I imagine I should do that before I go into the 144,000. Let’s do that a minute. Go back to John’s Gospel chapter 21, and drop in at verse 4. This is in that period of time between His resurrection and the ascension. He has showed Himself visibly, physically, over and over. Now, the first thing I’ve got to define is that the Book of John has eight sign miracles. Eight! And they are sign miracles because of the Greek term Semion. Now, all the other miracles were not necessarily signs. All signs were miracles, but not all miracles were signs. Now, a sign for Israel was something that proved to them miraculously that God was in it. This wasn’t a thing that would happen on the ordinary, everyday life. It was a sign, so it was miraculous. All right, now in the Book of John, we have eight of those miracles. They were all signs. Now, the first seven took place before His crucifixion. This one takes place after the crucifixion and resurrection. Now, if you know numbers in Scripture, seven is the number of completion. Eight is the number of new beginnings. So here we have, I feel, an indication of the new beginnings of the Kingdom, in which not a single Jew will be lost. All right, let’s look at it, verse 5 of John 21. John 21:5-7a “Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? (Or food. Have you caught any fish?) They answered him, No. 6. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. 7. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved (Who I feel is John.) saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,)…” Now, he wasn’t stark naked, but he was probably down to what we call underclothes. John 21:7b-11 “…and he did cast himself into the sea. 8. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. 9. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. 10. Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. (Now here’s the key.) 11. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: (I know there’s more there than meets the eye, but here’s what I want you to see.

) and for all there were so many, yet the net was not broken.” Now, you remember in other instances when they had a net full of fish, what happened? The net broke. But the miraculous part of this is the net should have broken, but it didn’t. Since it’s the eighth sign, and we’re now looking at the Kingdom over the horizon, I feel that this is the sign to Israel that this remnant that’s going to be spared in those last three-and-a-half years will all become believers when they see the coming Christ. Not a single one will fail to believe. So the whole net full of Israelites will be brought into the Kingdom experience. It’s kind of exciting to realize that this miraculous thing takes place, and yet you can reduce it to what we can understand and see what will happen day-by-day in Israel’s experience. Now then, let’s go back and look at the other remnant. This is the remnant that Satan is now going to concentrate on for these last three-and-a-half years, or nearly so. Because I feel that these men will be raptured up shortly before the end of the Tribulation. Come with me to Revelation chapter 7. This is the other remnant. The first remnant was a cross section of Israel—men, women, boys, girls, wealthy people, common people—just a cross section of society. This is a remnant of young Jewish men—twelve thousand from each of the Twelve Tribes. Revelation chapter 7 and drop down to verse 9. In verses 4 through 8 we have twelve thousand from such and such a tribe, and we wind up with 144,000. Revelation 7:9a “After this (After the sealing of these 144,000 young Jewish men.) I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, (Now watch where they’re coming from.) of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and languages, stood before the throne,…” Because as fast as they become believers in this final three-and-a-half years, they’ll be martyred. They will not live to see the light of a second day. So John already sees the result of the ministry of these 144,000 Jews as they were able to circumvent the land. Now again, it’s miraculous. Do they have to go to language school? No. They’ll know every tongue and tribe and language that they approach. Will they have to fight the airports? No. They’re going to supernaturally go from place to place, and no one can put them the death! Because that’s the purpose of their sealing. They may suffer privation, but no one will be able to put them to death. But due to the preaching of the 144,000, the converts who have become believers in this Kingdom Gospel—now, remember, it’s not our Gospel of Grace. That ended with the Rapture of the Body of Christ just before the Tribulation began. These Tribulation believers have believed the Kingdom Gospel—which is, the King is coming. And that’s what they’re to believe. So here they are in heaven from every tongue and tribe and nation, and then we find, as you drop down to verses 13 and 14-- Revelation 7:13-15 “And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these (or who are these) who are arrayed in white robes? and where did they come from? 14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.” All right, now the 144,000 will minister to the nations of the world throughout most of the seven years. I think they’ll be raised up and raptured sometime before the final weeks. Come back with me now to Isaiah 24. Here we’re at the final end of the seven years. Everything has been destroyed. There’s nothing left except a few survivors. I think I’ve got time. Let’s read all the way from verse 1. Isaiah 24:1a Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty,…” Now, this is the result of the seven years of the horrors of the Tribulation. I think the final month is going to be a nuclear holocaust like none of us can imagine.

Isaiah 24:1-2a “Behold the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master;…” The whole cross section of society is mentioned here in verse 2. Isaiah 24:3 “The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.” There will be nothing left. I always have to stop and ask people. You know that during the 1,000 year Kingdom, it’s going to be heaven on earth. Now think about that. Heaven on this earth. Gambling casinos in heaven? Why, heavens, no! What’s going to happen? Puff! They’re going. And all the other garbage that is associated with the world society, would that fit in heaven? No. So common sense tells you God is going to have to cleanse the planet of all of it. Everything that man has contrived is going to have to go. God’s going to make it all new. “The land shall be utterly empty.” Now I envision it, and this is strictly my own idea. I can’t prove this from Scripture. I can come close, but I can’t really prove it. I see everything reduced to ashes like Hiroshima and Nagasaki were in 1945. Everything! Then God will miraculously bring it all back to the beauty of Mount St. Helen’s. Now that’s another one. I think God sent Mount St. Helen’s just to show us what He can do. How long did it take until Mount St. Helen’s was almost more beautiful than it was before? A year or two under ordinary circumstances. Look what God can do with the supernatural as the Garden of the LORD reappears as we see in Isaiah 51:3 So, the planet will be regenerated and reconstituted. Now these are scriptural words that happen in just a moment of time. But I think it’s going to be reduced to ashes with all the nuclear bombs that are being store-housed today. All right, back to our text in Isaiah 24:4. Isaiah 24:4-5 “The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish. 5. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, (they’ve) changed the ordinance, (they’ve) broken the everlasting covenant.” In other words, they’ve flown in the face of God in everything they think, say, and do. Isaiah 26:6 “Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, (My, if that isn’t nuclear language, I don’t know what is. But what are the last three or four words?) and few men are left.” Well, what is that? All around the planet, here and there, there are going to be survivors. A few from every nation, I think, as we understand nations. By the time we get to the end of the millennium, after 1,000 years of tremendous population explosion, is there just one nation? No. All the nations of the world are back in vogue. Well, where’d they come from? They come from the survivors of the Tribulation. All right, it stands to reason. Just like today, you’ve got some believers; you’ve got some unbelievers. Well, it’s going to be the same way here at the end of the Tribulation. Not all these survivors are going to be believers, nor are they all unbelievers. So, what do we have to do? We’ve got two minutes to show you. Come back again to Matthew 25 verse 31. I’m going to have to do this quickly. Matthew 25 and here come these survivors of Isaiah 24. Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” He’s going to assume the throne there in Mt. Zion in Jerusalem. He’s finally going to be on His throne. Verse 32, now remember, supernaturally again. Matthew 25:32-33 “And before him shall be gathered all nations: (Now, when the Scripture says all, it means all. So there will be survivors from every one of the hundred and forty some nations that are listed in the world today.

) and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33. And he shall set the sheep (the believers) on his right hand, but the goats (unbelievers) on his left.” Matthew 25:34 “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, (the believers of these survivors) Come, ye, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:” Where do they go? Into the Kingdom!!! And, I think, back to their homeland. So now the stage is set. You’ve got the remnant of Israel, the largest number. Then you’ve got the scattered survivors of all the other nations of the world. This is at the beginning of those 1,000 years. There’s no death, and it’ll be a tremendous population explosion. If I had time, I could take you back to Revelation chapter 20. I can’t do it. I’ve only got seconds. But get into Revelation 20:8, and when Satan is released, how many nations are represented? All of them! Revelation 20:7-8a “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth,…”
