NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2008 - Jensen's Solo Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (9 videos available.)

My last video from CHICON 2008, Jensen's solo panel, is now up. As before, I cut between different footage to try to provide the best view available. Almost 60% came from the video AgtSpooky kindly sent me which, to the best of my knowledge, is not on YouTube and was captured from a different angle that newer fans may not have seen before. My full list of sources is on my video description.

A huge thanks to @spntrunk for helping me with some words I was having trouble subtitling in one section of the video! If anyone catches anything I missed or got wrong, in this video or any others, please do let me know. Subtitles are the one thing I can still update without hurting anything after the video is already published.

My next set of videos will be from Vancouver 2009. I'm temporarily skipping over some conventions as per my excessively long post in hope of being able to get some original video files that will upscale better. I intend to go back and fill them in eventually, one way or another.

(I don't know why the text in the above thumbnail looks weird. It looks fine in the video. The original image file I uploaded, which is just an exported frame from the video, also looks fine. 🤷‍♀️ I wanted to mention it because I was afraid people would see the above thumbnail and think the extra content in the video itself would be that difficult to read! It isn't.)

A recap for anyone not familiar with this project…

In December 2023, I started this project to enhance old convention videos. I'm upscaling the videos and making other visual improvements, adding extra content to clarify various references, and adding good color-coded subtitles so you can better understand the sometimes-chaotic audio.

My goal is to publish the best, most complete, and most watchable versions of these older convention panels yet seen, but this is only possible thanks to the fans who captured the footage in the first place and were generous enough to share it with other fans. My video descriptions on YouTube will always credit my sources.

If you have any old convention videos you'd be willing to contribute to this project, please message me! I can also be reached at DetailTilted@gmail.com. Even if your videos are on YouTube, the original files, if you still have them, may upscale much better. If I can get them to upscale, I'd happily send the upscaled files back to you for your own collection whether I use them or not.

abandoned(?) wip: the cult fic

Here's one that I really really really want to write because it was for a charity run and it is NOT the fault of the fic or the donator that I got hit with a depression meteor, nor indeed that somehow it was 'easier' to write a bunch of other fics instead of the charity fics that I still owe!! Ugh. The self is a real garbage pit sometimes. So hopefully let's call this one dormant and not abandoned, and so --

Big Idea: which isn't mine, bc charity fic as aforementioned, but -- Jared runs a cult and Jensen joins and there's lots of sexy sex. Pretty much. :) But because it's a cult fic, I really wanted to dive into that, which required plot [spits on floor], and it's really more now about like... lost youth getting wrapped up into a personality & lifestyle just for somewhere to belong. Like cult stories always go. It's an unusual fic for me in that I'd normally never do ageswap (even with J2 -- I prefer to keep them as is) and I don't actually have much interest in irl cults, but it's interesting as a stretch in that sense.

Why it was abandoned: because plot!!! Ugh. Plot is the worst, idk how people are like 'ooh I wanna get all involved in this murder mystery'. Yack. But if it's gonna have a plot it's got to work, and it also has to have a bunch of legible and interesting and not-quirky-stand-in characters -- like I want it to read like actual humans, not goofy nonsense a la the cult in Bad Times at the El Royale. So that requires some genuine thought and time put in and probably even a chart, and... #lazy writer noises. But I have some random scenes I think might be good already planned. Trouble would be if I could make Jared-the-cult-leader seem believable and not just like a doofy romance novel figure. My personal trouble with cults is that whenever someone's holding themselves up as a leader because of whatever mystical whatever I'm like, this motherfucker? Are y'all kidding? So I'll have to get over that instinct, lol.

Snippet:

"He renamed it when we came," Allie says, easy. She taps her thumb on the steering wheel, smiling. "He said Wildheart was more right, for what we were going to be." Jensen nods but he has no idea what that means. Whatever the name was before, the wild part at least is right. His grandpa had a farm, outside Dallas, and that was all neat rows, trimmed up hedges, smoothed-out roads with everything exactly in place. Jensen didn't mind it—driving it was easier, he thinks, as they're jolted by the Volkswagen rocking over yet another huge tree root—but it was… Well, it doesn't matter. He'll never see that farm again. He's about to ask another question when Allie turns, again, and the screen of oaks gives sudden way to—open air, a field. The sky opens up above them and Jensen leans forward, trying to see everything. They're on a dirt drive and there are—people, young, maybe his age or maybe Allie's, on the grounds on either side of the drive, working squared-off garden plots—tomatoes, in chickenwire cages. More that Jensen doesn't recognize as they roll past. A boy with red hair waves at the car and Allie waves back, grinning. "Good to be home," she says, to Jensen. Home, Jensen thinks, and chews his thumbnail, scanning the grounds. A medium-sized house, at the end of the lane, painted a faded yellow that needs redoing. On the west side of the house Allie pulls the Volkswagen up next to a purple Gremlin with messy handpainted yellow flowers on the rear hatch, a Cadillac with a rusted-out door and some kind of viney plant spilling out of the broken back window. "C'mon," Allie says, turning off the engine, so Jensen takes a deep breath and gets out of the car into the sunshine, holding his duffle up against his chest, looking around. No one's running up to bug them—the dozen people gardening are still gardening, down by the lane—and Allie flips her keys into her palm, comes around the hood of the car, touches his arm, soft. "Nothing be scared of, sweetie," she says, quiet even though it's just the two of them, and Jensen—believes her. He has to. He wouldn't have gotten into her car, otherwise.

Major Study

Production Post #5

Concept Design: Frontier Engineer Companion

Neal was able to give me some much needed direction after an initial round of thumbnailing which I felt wasn't very successful as mechanical concepting is so new to me. He suggested I carefully consider what it means to be a frontiersmen and also gave me some suggestions around useful technology and tools that are used for evaluating and navigating new terrain. Examples of this are the Skidoo, which is a snow mobile used by denizens of current-day Greenland, and some new concepts by Honda which make use of a drone for checking traffic conditions, etc.

Some research of exisiting ATV and drone technology.

I also had a look at Titanfall 2 For a more fantastical approach to futuristic technology in the form of mechas. This is neccessary research not just for some shape inspiration, but also because my Frontier Engineer will have a mobile workshop which the drone/droid character will attach to to increase its size or maneuver.

Some robot designs from TitanFall 2.

I also had a look at artists Colie Wertz, Jack Lee and Andreas Kjær-Jensen for some shape and design inspiration, I'm particularly drawn to the tripod design by Andreas Kjær-Jensen as it has a lot of personality: it's dials become eyes and the articulation of the leg joints has been crafting extremely well, it's both believable and aesthetic.

I created this second round of silhouettes using my research as inspiration. When showing these during the peer review, options 2 and 4 were the most popular. I'm thinking of integrating them into one design.

During peer review, Eric suggested I look at animals for inspiration again. He suggested a subtle approach such as the Harkonnen harvesters in Dune which took inspiration from ticks.

Harkonnen harvesters from Dune (2021).

Author's Comment:

Don't worry, it's not that much of a Cliffhanger this time and this chapter won't leave you as much with a stomach ache as the last did. On Repeat while writing: Icarus Almost forgot how hot Adam Jensen is, the guy in the thumbnail if you didn't know. ------

Part 10 - Where The Dead Ships Dwell

Part 11 - A Lonely Firefly In Space

Part 12 - Broken Wings

You couldn't believe how calm Tech was when he said, "Hmm, that's problematic. Let me think for a moment"

"Okay, Crosshair, the guys are still alive, but they are currently unable to maneuver and cannot use the Marauder's cockpit," you clarified to the Sniper.

He sighed, "Okay, that's good news and bad news. But I'm assuming Tech will come up with something."

You hoped so too. So far he had always come up with something, for every problem there was a solution, at least if you had Tech with you.

Tech suddenly said. "Theoretically, I could pilot the ship from the engine room and at least steer us out of the junk field and to the nearest planet, hoping that maybe a larger ship can pick us up there. I can't land the Marauder in its current condition, we wouldn't even survive entering the atmosphere of any planet or moon."

"Can you do that on emergency power?" you asked uncertainly but already much more hopeful.

"If I had access to thrusters, yes. However, I don't have that access. But I think I know what the problem might be, and that's where you come in."

You nodded, more as a gesture to yourself for encouragement.

"Okay, what can I do?"

Tech explained, "There are several cable connections on the underside of the Marauder that connect the thrusters to the engine room and power them, I suspect at least one of them must be clipped. Do you think you can get underneath the Marauder to reconnect them?"

"Of course I can," you said determinedly, glad to finally have a task that moved you forward, "Cross, I need to get under the Marauder, keep the Firefly on rotation with the Marauder as best you can."

"Roger that, be careful Kitten"

You shimmied along the ship to the underside, always careful not to get tangled in your rope. You saw the problem before you reached it. The cover of the cables had been torn open and some cables had been cut.

"You were right!" you exclaimed laughing, because this was something you could fix "The cables have been damaged."

"Okay, that's good news, more or less".

"I'll start reconnecting the cables now, I'll let you know when I'm done"

"Be careful, they are all energized, I can't disconnect them right now or we will lose emergency power as well" Tech warned you.

You sighed, "Okay, got it, would be too easy otherwise".

You sought secure footing on the ship with your feet and left arm and took the multitool from your belt with your right and set to work.

Crosshair tried to keep an eye on the junk floating around you, every single one of them could possibly be dangerous for you. Again and again he looked at the radar of the Firefly and gritted his teeth, the old technology was really overwhelmed with the mass of different metal parts in the near environment and blinked uselessly. He couldn't really make out anything on it.

"Hurry up Kitten, I can't keep track of all this junk circling us," he grumbled.

"Be done in a minute or two," you said focused.

"Roger that," Crosshair returned with a sigh.

He didn't like it that you were out there, he thought he should be out there, but unfortunately circumstances didn't allow it. But he was also glad and grateful that you were willing to risk so much to save his brothers, even if he didn't really express that at the moment.

Crosshair silently wondered how this strange accident had happened in the first place, but at the moment you had more pressing concerns. Still, the question of what exactly had happened haunted the back of his mind.

He glanced at the radar again and for a moment thought he saw some unusual movement.

"Y/N, how much longer? There's something moving among the junk that could be an intact ship, we may be in trouble"

"Almost there!"

Nervously Crosshair chewed on one of his toothpicks, kept looking at the radar, he felt something coming, somehow he had this strange feeling in his bones and he wanted you to get back to the ship as soon as possible.

Just one last bit of cable, then you would have made it, and the chances of getting the Marauder out of here would be much better.

Finally, you felt vibration in the ship.

"I think that's it!" you exclaimed and put the tool back on your belt.

A strange euphoria flooded through you, you had created a way out of a hopeless situation.

"Good job Y/N," you heard Tech say "We got-"

"Y/N watch out!" overlapped Crosshair's voice over Tech's.

You didn't have time to brace yourself because in the very next moment something yanked violently on the winch line, yanking you away from the Marauder. You let out a startled scream and a heartbeat later heard Tech's voice as well as Crosshair's shouting in a jumble, unable to understand what they were saying. You whirled around with no control over your movement. You collided with several small parts floating through space around you and bruised yourself several times. But your momentum was hardly slowed down.

You tried to curl up to brace yourself against an impact with more pieces, pulling your legs to your body and wrapping your arms around them as you had learned in training. Your pulse raced, your breathing was fast and heavy, on the verge of hyperventilation.

Then you hit a bigger obstacle, full force, which drove all the air out of your lungs. You let go of your legs and gave a strangled groan, the impact had hit you hard in the ribs, you couldn't move from the pain, probably at least one rib was broken. You could barely breathe. You tried to grab the rope to pull yourself back to the Firefly, you screamed out as the movement burned through your chest like liquid fire.

"Kitten? Talk to me, Y/N, what happened?" you heard Crosshair in your helmet.

For a brief moment you were under the illusion you were back on the ship and unconsciously you wanted to reach for his hand, but the pain that drove through your ribs made you suck in air sharply.

"Impact..." you pressed out in pain "Can hardly breathe, I think the ribs are broken".

You tried to pull yourself along the rope with your other arm on the uninjured side, it was less painful but still an incredible challenge. You had to keep pausing to collect yourself.

"Y/N your vitals are going haywire, please come back to the ship!"

"Crosshair is right, there's nothing more you can do out there anyway," Tech confirmed "We're ready to go."

You growled breathlessly "Well you guys are funny, what do you think I'm trying to do here?!"

A beeping sound in your helmet distracted you. You looked at the oxygen gauge on your wrist.

"Shit!"

"What happened?" asked Crosshair and you could hear the concern in his voice even if he tried to hide it with his typical gruff manner.

"My suit got damaged, I'm losing oxygen".

"It doesn't matter you're already on your way back" Tech spoke calmly to you.

You felt dizzy and your vision became blurry. Your hand involuntarily let go of the rope and you slowly trundled away from the Firefly and the Marauder.

"Guys..." you said in a wavering, slurping sounding voice "I don't think I can do this.... I'm losing.... i can't see... "

Tech and Crosshair took turns talking at you, but you only heard their voices fuzzy and blurry as if your head was underwater.

"Marauder, come in, is that you guys?"

Was that Rex? His voice sounded so strangely clear, at least for a moment. You heard the men talking briefly, but you only understood half of what was being said.

You saw movement to your right and tried to make it out, but your vision kept blurring, but you were pretty sure it was another spaceship. But you were anything but sure. At the moment you had the feeling that it could be imagination. You hoped it wasn't, you hoped you had really heard Rex's voice.

When the Marauder was forced into emergency power mode, it had probably started sending out a distress signal, one that was stronger than your Firefly's outdated technology. But what an incredible stroke of luck it was that Rex, of all people, had stumbled upon it.

But was he really here? The pain caused your vision to focus again and again, but right after that it blurred once more.

"It hurts so much," you said softly, almost in a whisper.

Despite the pain, you felt your own pulse, as strong as if it wanted to slay you from within, throbbing in your ribs, in your temples.

"Y/N?", the voice was low, sounding soft, soothing.

"Rex?" you asked softly.

"I can see you. Can you see my ship? I'm very close to you. Looks like you are trying to fly with broken wings dear"

You blinked against tears that finally floated in your helmet. Your chest seemed to be on fire.

"I think so.... Rex, I'm scared"

"It's okay" the former clone captain spoke softly "I'm coming for you, ad'ika"

MAIN MASTERLIST

MADDISON MASTERLIST

please let me know if you would like to be added to a tag list

"Here she is, the big movie star" Jensen yells as Maddie walks into set. She laughs, shaking her head at him before walking over and into his open arms.

She gives him a tight squeeze, carefully not to spill her giant coffee. She needs it to function this early in the morning.

"You're a dad" she tells him excitedly as she pulls back from their embrace. His daughter had been born over hiatus. She’s so happy for him and his wife Danneel. She knows they’re going to be incredible parents.

"Yeah, I'm a dad" he says, grinning from ear to ear. His little girl had just turned six weeks old. It’s been the most emotional and sleep deprived six week of his life but he wouldn't change it for the world.

"How's it feel?"

"It's incredible Mads... I can't put it into words"

"She's beautiful"

"She gets it from her mum"

"She does"

"Ouch!"

"What... I was only agreeing with you"

Jensen just sighs and shakes his head at her while she grins. She's a smart ass and she knows it. He's really missed this. She hasn't given him cheek like this is so long. It's nice seeing this part of her again.

"Enough about me. How was it?"

"It was really good"

"Everyone was nice, no one was mean because I told Sebastian..."

"Jensen, everyone was great"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. We had a lot of fun"

"We?"

"Yeah. Me, Seb, the cast. We all hung out most weekends. It was really nice"

"Look at you, making friends"

"Oh fuck off"

Jensen laughs at her. Yep. The old Maddie is back, well some of her at least. Her phone goes off and she pulls it out of her back pocket to check it, expecting it to be Sebastian because who else would be messaging her at 5am?

She lets out a tiny hum when she sees it's from Chris. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about their date last week.

Maddie smiles at her phone, biting her lip a little before putting it back in her pocket. It doesn't go unnoticed by Jensen. Something’s going on.

He lets out a sigh, he knows he has to say something to her about what happened while she was in Atlanta.

"Seb told me he made bail"

"Yeah"

"Mads, why didn't you tell me?"

She looks at him shaking her head slightly. She knows she should have told him but she didn't. She couldn't bring herself to.

"The focus has been on me ever since that night. I don't want it to be anymore. I never did"

"I know that Kiddo... but not telling me things, that isn't the way to go Mads"

She sighs, she knows he’s right. She also knows she needs to tell him what else happened.

"His lawyer called"

"What?"

"When I was in Atlanta. He called, said Travis wanted to meet, to talk about the charges. He wants to convince to make me to drop them, to avoid it going to trial. He's facing prison time and he's decided it's Seb's fault, that he convinced me into making a false police report"

"When did this happen?" he asks, furious that Travis is still trying to control her.

"End of May..." she mumbles, biting her thumbnail as she looks at her feet.

"Maddie..."

"Jens, D was about to have JJ... I didn't want to take away from that, that's not fair"

"Maddie, listen to me. Telling me things that have happened, because of him... that isn't going to take away from anything, OK. I love you. I ask you to tell me these things because I want to know, I mean that. You know you can come to me, about anything"

"I know... I'm sorry"

"It's OK, but please don't hide these things from me. I can't help you if I don't know"

"OK"

"So, tell me... Captain America"

"What?!" she says, panicked. Has Sebastian told him about her date? She is going to bury him.

"The movie Mads, what's it about, what did you film?" he asks, very confused by her reaction. She quickly relaxes. He doesn't know. Or if he does he's not saying anything... yet.

"Nope"

"You're not going to tell me anything?"

"No"

"Not a single thing?"

"I'm in it"

"Come on Mads. You gotta give me more than that"

"I broke a drunk guys nose when he tried to kiss me. That was a whole thing"

"I bet it was"

"Sebastian lost his shit"

"I wouldn't expect anything less"

"I was able to utilise my prank skills. A prank war got started on set. Everyone kept coming to me for ideas"

"We have taught you well"

"That you have”

“Now, tell me about filming. Give me something"

"Nope"

Jensen lets out a frustrated groan. She really wants to tell him everything but she can't, she's not aloud to.

It’s annoying yet weirdly refreshing at the same time. Before she can say anything else she feels a hand on her back and turns to see Misha standing next to her

"Hi" she says excitedly, throwing her arms around him

"How was Atlanta?" he asks, kissing her temple as he pulls back

"It was good, really good" she says, a huge smile spreading across her face.

"Maddie!" Jared yells from behind her.

She turns towards his voice and sees him jogging over. As soon as he reaches them he pulls her into a hug, lifting her off the ground in the process which makes her let out a small squeal.

As he puts her down her mind drifts back to Chris. She can’t stop thinking about him.

So I was looking for baby names for my pet dog and read this article that was talking about this app called kinder which is like tinder but for baby names,and then the article linked to this webpage: and I just see a thumbnail of Danneel and Jensen and I'm like well it's either going to be about JJ or the twinkles (the Ackles' twins) lol.

Here is the thing it says under their names

JENSEN ACKLES AND DANNEEL HARRIS The Supernatural star welcomed twins, a boy and a girl this past weekend. Ready for the names? Zeppelin Brawn and Arrow Rhodes, seems to follow suite with their older sister's unique name, Justice Jay.

(Also it's Zeppelin Bram)

I don't like talking about other people's kids but this is adorable.

Also, what did you end up calling your dog?

CHICON 2007 - Enhanced Edition of Jared's Solo Panel - *COMPLETE* Video! (Repost)

Direct link.

This is the full video of Jared's panel at the Chicago 2007 convention. Jensen shows up at the end of the video with a small surprise for Jared.

There are some funny moments here! There's also one part where I didn't agree with what the fan at the mic said at all, but I included a brief episode clip so you can decide for yourselves. I'd love to hear what you think about that part or about any other part. I welcome private messages if you prefer that.

“I’ve seen this before – WHY are you posting it again?! STTTTOOOOPPPPPP!!”

Please forgive me if you already saw this last week. I will not repost it again. I was an idiot and used the same thumbnail on both the sample video and the full video, and then reblogs of the earlier sample video took off unexpectedly around the time I posted the full video. I think some people didn't realize the full video was a new one because it looked the same. I’ve now changed the thumbnail, but you might still see the old one if it's cached in your browser, so it might be too little too late. I reblogged my original post once, but reblogs don’t show up in the tags and my blog doesn't have much visibility by itself and Friday night probably wasn't the best time to do it. I think something like two people saw my reblog, but I very much appreciate you! :)

Normally I'd have just assumed people are less interested in Jared’s video for whatever reason and I’d have been disappointed, but I would have moved on because people like what they like and beating them over the head with something they don't like will only make it more annoying. The reason I had trouble letting this go is because Jared’s sample video got twice as many views as Jensen’s sample did, but Jared's full video only got a quarter as many views as Jensen’s full video. So I feel like the interest is there, but I screwed it up. And as silly as it must sound, I’m feeling horribly guilty that Jared’s video might not have gotten as much attention as he deserves because of my bad choices.

(If this project doesn't interest you and you'd rather not see these posts, I’m including “enhanced edition con video” in the tags for each post, so you could filter that out if you’d like.)

What's Next?

I do have the main J2 panel nearly done and I plan to post the full video next week. I decided not to post a sample of it ahead of time, for fear of recreating the same issue I was just lamenting. I really liked the idea of posting samples, but I’m afraid it’s just too confusing and does more harm than good. I'm definitely open to suggestions, though.

Some background if you haven't seen these posts before:

I'm slowly making "enhanced edition" videos of old con videos. You can find much more detail about this project along with an index of other released videos in this post. The project is still young, but there are now 3 full-length videos available.

The source videos are not my own; credit and links are in the video descriptions. I'm editing multiple videos from the same panel together into a single video. I'm upscaling the video quality as best I can, with varying levels of success. I'm adding extra content to add clarity about the things they discuss. I'm adding good, color-coded English subtitles to help with understanding the sometimes chaotic audio.
