Debunking Nonsense Against Jared

There's apparently some crap about Jared that is just absolute nonsense. Full of lies and bullshit.

It'd be one thing if people just didn't like him. It happens. Not everyone is likeable. You're not expected to like him. But don't pull up lies to explain why you don't like him. Especially when they've been debunked again and again and again.

1. The "racist" tattoo. Y'all, this is nonsense. It's been debunked over and over and over. It's not a racist tattoo. For one, it's lacking the logo of "Come and take it", which would make it a racist tattoo. But a lone star above a cannon does not a racist tattoo make.

Jared is a proud Texan. He also donates to many a charity and organization that help people, speaking out about them often. Not to mention, prior to pro-gun rights appropriating the symbol and logo, it stood for a proud history in Texas. Jared would've known.

So how about instead of focusing on a mere tattoo, come up with more proof that Jared is a racist? Hmm?

Besides, if you're mad at Jared's tattoo, are you then mad at Jensen's t-shirt, which did show the saying as well?

2. Fighting with fans online. Oh come on. Misha's done it. (Misha's done worse, in fact.) Danneel's done it. Jared doing it does not a bad person make. And I don't think he's done it in a long time.

And of course, people will go "Danneel was hitting back!" And? What's the difference? Jared was hitting back too. Danneel went a step farther most of the time, siccing her followers on them, threatening them with Clif, even ran crying to Clif because people were being "mean".

3. RE: Prequelgate. Give me a fucking break! Jared was right to be upset! He called and texted Jensen for hours before he gave up and responded to that tweet about The Winchesters announcement. Jensen also lied about not being allowed cellphones on The Boys set. When they weren't filming, they were allowed. (Of course they can't have their cellphones on their person during filming, unless it suited the scene!) Besides all that, Jared honestly didn't know about it! Kripke was even shocked when he learned Jared didn't know! Supernatural and its legacy is as much Jared's as it was Jensen's! The whole freakin' industry gave Jensen a massive side-eye for his unprofessional behavior. Kevin Smith, a man who has directed, written, and acted in the industry, thought it was uncool. Also, Jared wasn't drunk.

4. Supposed bully accusations. I'd need to see more of this to believe it, but outside of occasionally putting Misha in his bullshit place, I've never heard of Jared bullying anyone. Everyone he's worked with has sung his praises. The only one who hasn't is Misha and that's because Jared won't let Misha put him down. And in fact, has had to step in to stop Misha from torturing Jensen. So fuck off with your noise.

5. His fanbase. Is he now responsible for his fanbase? I never knew that. What about Misha's fanbase sending Jensen death threats for denouncing Destiel? Has Misha ever stopped that? What about AAs hoping for Jared to suicide after Walker was cancelled?

6. What about Genevieve? Oh come on! Do I like that Gen is featuring the kids a lot? Myself, no. But if Jared was truly bothered by it, I'm sure he would've spoken to Genevieve. And Gen isn't any different than many other mommy influencers. I'm not keen on exploiting the kids like that, but would you say the same about Danneel abruptly grabbing the kids at Wales Comic Con and dragging them out for a photo op? All because she had no one in line for her autographs and desperate for attention?

7. Jared's Hair. Apparently there are some claiming Jared had gotten hair plugs. My response to that is: So what? Misha's had plastic surgery (trust me, it's obvious--his eyes and clearly lip fillers). Danneel's had worse--her hair is fried, bad extensions, plastic surgery galore that has ruined her hair line because of facelifts, fillers, Botox, and breast implants (twice!). Jensen's likely had a bit of work too.

So. Fucking. What. About Jared's hair?

--

Come up with truthful reasons to hate Jared, hmm? Not bullshit.

[ohheyguyss]

I have been a J2 fan since 2019, slightly more Jensen leading, but since the whole Winchesters stuff started, I've found myself getting increasingly irritated by Jensen, and I want to say his arrogant attitude. Note how conveniently Jensen forgets that Chuck destroyed all the AU universes so that he could get AU The Winchesters' story to production.

I recently met Jensen and Jared for the first time, and to be honest, Jensen left me cold. He seemed on auto pilot and didn't want to engage with his own fans who were paying his wages! Unlike Jared, who seemed to want to talk to everyone for 5 mins and make sure everyone received a happy memory to take away with them and treasure. From my personal experience with Jared in my autos, he made me feel seen and genuinely looked like he cared. Also, his intuition is spot on! He picked up on something about me without me even saying anything and told me, "You got this!" That touched my heart. And I walked away feeling overwhelmed by his kindness.

Merely half an hour later, I had my Jared photo op he was so sweet. Again, he wants everyone to have a happy experience. There was no rushing, no urgency to get the photo done (unlike in Jensen photos, absolute mayhem). He again makes you feel seen by talking to you briefly before you get into position. The hug you receive also feels filled with love, and thanks for your support. As I thanked him and turned to walk away, he grabbed my hand as I turned back to face him he tightened his grip and nodded, flashed a smile, and let me slip my hand from his grip as I turned away my brain took over and said "love you" I heard him say "love you back" as I left the room. I had to take a moment outside the room as I again felt really overwhelmed the experience.

In my J2 photo op again, Jared was more engaging than Jensen and his auto pilot mode smooshing me into Jensen, who just stood there stiff as a board. 😔 I kind of wish I'd turned towards Jared, next time I will.

I had been told many times by people before my con that you go in a Jensen girl, but you might come out the other side a Jared girl.

That might be true? But in my case, I was already starting to lean Team Padalecki before I left for the con, and after experiencing both of them together, it definitely pushed me further into TP camp. As much as I still like and respect Jensen, I think I'm more a fan of Dean and Jensen's other characters he plays like Soldier Boy, Priestly, Alec than the man himself, Am I sad by this revelation? A little, but at the same time, I'm also thankful for it in a weird kind of way as I feel Jensen is starting to get a little arrogant (a bit assholey) and annoying in his attitude and responses to questions of late.

This revelation won't stop me from continuing to support him and his future endeavours as I love watching Jensen act, he has a natural talent.

Will The Winchesters be renewed? Personally, I hope not. it just didn't make sense. That's just my opinion. I'm enjoying Walker Independence more it's brilliantly written and filmed, and I enjoy the characters, storyline more.

[canonicallysoulmates]

J2 Gold Panel Phoenixcon 2022

When they get on stage, Jensen shows the Soldier Boy Starbucks reusable cup that he had been gifted by a fan, which is pretty cool. Jared says that when he woke up it took him a second to remember where he was, and Jensen says the same thing happened to him because his hotel room had blackout curtains but the place he's staying at in Albuquerque doesn't so at like 7am it's sunlight to the face. He comments he doesn't know why he hasn't duck-taped a blanket up then he realizes that's something he actually can do and says he's gonna do that.

Jared apologizes for having missed Vancon, says he was so bumed he couldn't attend due to covid. Jokes he should stop licking parking meters, to which Jensen quips back "or licking people's faces" that that's a new photo op they're gonna offer where Jared licks your face but you might get covid because he's a walking petri dish. In the last month, Jared has gotten strep, covid for the third time, and his kids had the flu last week so he's had all the antibiotics in the last 30 days. Jared, I love you but I would hose you down with Lysol.

Jared makes the comment that Jensen hasn't had this problem because he's been in NM but that it's been like 80 degrees in Austin for the last 6 months which is weird because it has the implication that Jensen hasn't been to Austin in the past 6 months which is not true. We know for a fact that he has been, there are even pictures from an event he attended there recently so maybe he meant that because he's been mostly in NM that he hasn't had to deal with the Texas heat as much.

Anyways moving on to the questions, the first is actually a choice between getting a question or being told a joke. Jared says both.

The question is, on the spn podcast thing, everybody raves about how over 15yrs they never saw the boys use sides. What is their technique for remembering all of their lines, and is it getting harder now that they’re older? Jared says that last one 100%.

Jensen is a little confused because he says they used sides all the time. Not while filming but when they went to block, which is when they show up on set and work out the movement and props and such, they certainly had sides in their hand. When they show back up to film they’re probably sideless because by then they’ve had time to run the scene both in blocking and probably a couple of times in hair and makeup and if it's a wordy scene they’ll go to each other's trailers and run the scene a few times, then they’ll show up on set and be off book by then. I wanna make the note that I am wording their process with each other in the present tense because Jensen says it in the present tense 🥺

Jared says that on Walker, currently, he doesn’t know any of them as well as he's gotten to know Jensen personally and professionally - could have sworn your "wife" was on that show but okay ☕ - so he kinda bobs and weaves to them but the way he learns his dialogue is he reads it over and over again, he reads the script a dozen plus times so he kinda has an idea of what's going on and then going through it in the morning time and time again. You kind of get an idea of the day and the first scene is two pages so you focus on that, and the next is a page and a half so you focus on that, he says that sometimes at the end of the day he'll remember a sentence from what was shot first.

They would run lines a lot but they would also sometimes trade lines, they would read the scene, feel something wasn’t working, and trade lines so Jared would read Dean's lines and Jensen would read Sam's, and if they felt it worked better they would call Bob Singer to approve the change.

Jensen says Jared reads it a lot but he does it differently, he has an association technique he uses where he associates the words or the dialogue with where he is in the scene, the movement, what’s happening so it doesn't ever lock in if he’s asked to recite the words prior to blocking the scene he will go blank but as soon as he can marry it to something within the scene he knows it, and he says he’s been very fortunate to have writers and showrunners that have allowed him to massage the dialogue and put it into his own words. A lot of what we hear is not verbatim on the script, he makes it his own, and he's been given the freedom and the encouragement to do that which he thinks that's been a very nice relationship he's been fortunate enough to have so far in his career. That he's waiting for the time that he's working on a comedy or something and they're like "you said can't and it's can not". Jared says that's what it was like on Gilmore Girls.

Then the fan tells their joke: You know how they call relations with three people a threesome and with two people a twosome? And now you know why everybody calls you a handsome. That's pretty good! 😆 And it also opens the door, and gives Jared the perfect excuse to spend the rest of the panel calling Jensen handsome every chance he gets. x

Case in point, the next fan starts by saying that they're all there melting and fawning over them and Jared goes "he (Jensen) is handsome!" 💕

Who is an artist they've either already met or would like to meet that they would fawn and fanboy over?

Jared says for him more often than not it’s more musicians because he has worked with a lot of actors and actresses that he really admires. Like he met Eddie Vedder and embarrassed himself (to which Jensen nods his head and says 'yes, he did'), says he doesn’t watch tv a lot but he listens to music all the time so the relationship some fans have with them where they put on the show as background noise and re-watch it over and over again so it sort of becomes the soundtrack of your life, he has that with music. So probably musicians, if he met Dave Grohl he'd probably freak out, or Thom Yorke.

Jensen agrees with Jared, he tries to think of who he would go and watch and be in awe of and that makes him think of when he last did that and that was when he saw Robert Plant play. That everybody was jamming out but he was just staring up at him in awe, that he probably saw him and was like "weirdo" to which Jared goes "but handsome!"

Jensen also comments that Jared Leto is grossly pretty in real life, that he's 50 but looks like he's 22. 22? 22???? You need glasses, my boy. Jard mentions Margot Robbie, they met her years ago at the Scream awards before she was super well known and she's flawless. Jensen said he was at an event maybe 5yrs ago and brushed shoulders with Cindy Crawford and internally he was like "stop staring! stop staring! stop staring!" but in reality, he was looking at her wide-eyed. Jared says she was probably like "hey, that's weird. but handsome" In the span of one question Jared has called Jensen handsome 3 times. x

When they're dealing with a lot of emotion in their life, and they know they have to do something creatively, what do they do to decompress afterward? Jared says sometimes it’s more difficult than others. That after their series finale, the scene in the barn, that took a while; he considers himself a workaholic and you detox from them usually there's two weeks at the end of every season where he still doesn't feel like himself. During the pandemic he had a work detox, they got home to Austin and he'd wake up looking for his scripts and then realize he doesn't have any work there so he'd be looking for what to do, it takes time- he doesn't really have an answer to the question he just accepts that it takes time. Same with dealing with mental health, he once again reiterates that he doesn't like using the word struggle when it comes to talking about mental health because if he calls it a struggle then he feels like he's struggling, but he tries to go for a walk or a jog on a regular basis, kinda spend some alone time out on the road or something, or spends time with his dogs. Just accept that it takes time.

Jensen says he doesn’t know if he has a bag of tricks or certain tools that he would offer up, he thinks everything and every situation is different so if you have a certain situation you have to listen to yourself and try to figure out what it’s gonna take. A year and a half ago when he was doing The Boys, he was working a lot, long hours, in quarantine, stuck in an apartment that wasn't his home for weeks and months and he got home late one night and cranked Tool as loud as he could at like 4am and that's how he handled that particular situation he hasn't used that method since but he thinks each situation is different you just have to be aware of yourself and know what's gonna get you through it. Take a look at Jared's expressions as Jensen tells this story because he looks at Jensen with so much emotion and almost like he himself is remembering that night, I have the feeling that blasting loud music isn't the only thing Jensen did that night to cope I think he also made a late-night phone call to his husband. x

Jensen says that the interesting thing about acting is that whenever they yell action everything else in the world goes away. It’s weird, and for that minute to three minutes in which that scene is happening he's not thinking about anything other than what he's doing in that moment and that's a wild thing to have because it can immediately silence everything which is also beautiful.

To lift spirits a little bit the fan asks a second question: what is one of their happiest memories to pull from for a positive scene? Jared says holding his firstborn son, becoming a dad. He also goes back to the previous question real quick to add the advice to remind yourself that no feeling is final wether that's your high highs or your low lows, no feeling is final.

Jensen says he doesn’t know, that he’s a pretty happy guy in general. It’s the more emotional, intense, or somber scenes or situations that take more out of him. Bringing light, and happy, and humor is something that comes easy, he has a pretty optimistic outlook on things. Jared says that's true. And that when Jensen does get down he just sees himself and goes "what can I complain about?" Your husband is hot, we know baby we know. x

The next fan doesn't really have a question she just wanted to know if she could show everyone her tattoo.  x

And the one following doesn't have a question either she just wanted to pass on a message from her friend who could not attend the con to Jared letting him know she loves him and that she sleeps with a moose-stuffed animal every night. To which Jared replies that so does he...and so does Jen. Now y'all can interpret it however you want but to me, this is a clear case of him saying Jen but meaning it with a J, not a G, especially cause he slightly turns his body towards Jensen when he says it, so I'm typing it with a J. But, again, y'all interpret how you want. x

What is the latest happy thing that their family has done for them? Jared says before they got on stage he was face timing G and she was like 'shh' and pulled out her phone to where they have like a nest cam app cause I...guess they have a camera in O's room.....on the one hand, I get it even though they don't like to admit it we know these people have help and hire babysitters all the time so yeah load up on camera's but on the other hand, I don't like camera's in bedrooms they are not a good idea. But I'm getting off track that's neither here nor there, Jared says he guesses O has been on a little bit of a tear lately as a 5yr old who thinks she's 35 (you guess? what do you mean you guess? you don't know?) and when G holds up her phone so he can see O is in her room all grumpy, talking to herself. But she's usually very snuggly and gentle, and she's always going "i love you daddy, you're my favorite daddy". I had to listen to this part like 5 times because I know he means that he's her favorite parent/person but the way he said it makes it sound like he means he's her favorite dad so my brain did a whole record scratch. Anyways, he also mentions playing sports with Tom, and doing Legos with Shep that when they go to the teacher meetings all the teachers talk about how all the kids are individuals and he takes that as a compliment cause when they're home they know they're being supported to be themselves. So his answer is spending time with his kids.

Jensen says Arrow has really taken to a little electric piano they have, and he doesn't play piano but he knows twinkle twinkle little star so he showed her how to play and she learned it in a snap. And on Halloween D send him a video that Arrow wanted him to see, she changed the melody of twinkle twinkle little star to make it haunting. He plays a little bit of it and it's actually pretty good. Jared should teach her some piano and then in the future, if it's something she's interested in, get her a professional piano teacher. x

The last question, is again not really a question, the fan is from Brazil and he asked his friends what they would like to ask the boys and 90% of the questions were: would you marry me? 😂

Huey, Dewey, Louie, and a Magyar PM’s Demise

While touring Budapest during the Balkan Explorer Tour via Expat Explore in 2023, the free day coincided with Philippine Independence Day – also MY 34th BIRTHDAY. Being a Disney fan myself, the city’s sights brought up DuckTales.

And I do mean the original 1987-1990 run.

Photo taken 6/12/2023.

So what does a Disney animated series have to do with Budapest – or rather, the whole country of Hungary? Ask any resident who was between 3-12 years old and living in said country on December 12, 1993, and they’d likely tell you that something somber interrupted an episode of it.

Picture if you will being a kid watching Disney Sunday, the equivalent of America’s The Disney Afternoon in a post-Cold War Hungary (or a few other European countries) on that day. The theme song plays as normal.

“It will never leave,” said Doug Walker, the Nostalgia Critic. “it will never leave. It's like an addiction. You think you're over it. You think, “I only know a few lyrics of the song…’”

“Life is like a hurricane Here in Duckburg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes It’s a Duck blur Might solve a mystery Or rewrite history." “DuckTales, woohoo! Every day that I've been making DuckTales, woohoo! Tales so daring, do-bad and good Luck tales.” “D-d-d-danger lurks behind you There’s a stranger out behind you Gonna find you What to do?” “JUST GRAB ONTO SOME DUCKTALES!” “WOOHOO!“

“I mean once you hear it once, it will never, ever go away. And you wanna know what the creepy thing is? I think this show stayed on the air strictly because of the theme song! I mean think about it, what do you actually remember about this show?”

Many a Magyar ‘90s kid’s disturbingly thorough answer came to a head during Uncle Scrooge’s breakfast conniption in the Catch as Cash Can story arc episode, “A Whale of a Bad Time.” He was dismayed and enraged when he lost half of his fortune via the boat containing it being eaten by a sea monster. As Huey, Dewey, and Louie restrained him, every TV screen in every Magyar household open to DuckTales desaturated, changed to static briefly, and went black for 15 minutes.

The Magyar Televízió logo appeared in a gloomy grayscale, accompanied by a track of the 3rd movement of Fredric Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 2 in B♭ minor, Op. 35. It signified to Magyars of all ages – even and especially the perplexed ‘90s kids trying to make sense of whatever abruptly interrupted their DuckTales fix – that someone very important had died.

That someone very important was József Antall, the first democratically elected prime minister.

Shortly after his inauguration in May 1990, Antall was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He underwent surgery that October, with him having an interview on the response to the taxi blockade in ihis sleepwear. His cancer recurred in May 1991.

Antall died in his sleep due to complications on December 12, 1993. Magyar adults and well-informed teens who knew and loved him were bereft of a strong leader in Hungary’s post-communist history, whereas befuddled kids wondered why the TV cared more of about a prime minister’s death over a Disney animated series.

Those children who grew up back then were dubbed the “DuckTales Generation.”

“I wanted to switch channels to see if there was another cartoon,” recalled one Magyar adult, “but my parents wanted to watch M1 because – unlike me – they knew who PM Antall was and why the news of his death was important.”

“As a result of the shock, I rushed to the bathroom,” recalled another, “but I could barely tell what had happened all the way through. My mom cried to my dad, ‘Antall is dead!’ And then they looked at me, over my head. The children watching DuckTales at the time experienced a minor trauma as they were torn out of the safe world of Disney magic – and the unknown, incomprehensible blackness came.”

“Chopin's funeral march and the deep blackness cast a pall over the country for just a couple of minutes.”

“I called my parents, ‘Dad, I think (Antall) had died,’” recalled the owner of conservative blog Meanwhile in Budapest.

The death announcement of Antall wasn’t the only kids’ show interruption in history. On June 2, 2020, Viacom-owned TV channels (including Nickelodeon) around the world interrupted TV shows with an 8:46 PSA.

The white text, “I Can’t Breathe,” faded in and out to the cadence of a sound effect of a human breathing. The duration matched the one in which Derek Chauvin held his knee down on George Floyd’s neck till he suffocated. Either a Color of Change text number or the Amnesty International website (depending on country) appeared alongside it.

The PSA scared some kids, which lead some of their parents to rant about it on the Viacom channels’ social media accounts, some with some political rebukes.

But whichever their political views, most Magyar children who grew up when a death of a beloved dignitary interrupted a Disney TV show in the ‘90s knew that their moment was a blindingly brighter lightbulb memory. Even a traveling exhibit by Magyar artists on the childhood children in Hungary spent between the late ‘80s and noughties was APTLY named after that episode of which doleful breaking news interrupted it.

As Walt Disney said, “Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality.”

Simply put, life HAS BEEN like a hurricane, anywhere in the world, whether kids and parents like it or not.

Especially in early ‘90s Hungary.

What a cool option for those going to the Austin convention. I hope those who can attend the tour take lots of pictures!

I'm also guessing that Creation's going to add a number of Walker actors to the guest list...

[xlynnbbyx]

Looks like Kat McNamara is joining the con in Vegas(Jan 12th-15th 2023). She will be appearing Sunday January 15th. Photos ops with her are $65 and Autos for her is $55. I don’t watch Walker Independence as I’m not a huge western fan. But it’s exciting for those who do love show and now has a chance to meet her. Glad they are mixing guest from other shows with the 2023 tour.

[unabashedlyinlove]

The BS has started

These people really like to rewrite story, dont they? TF? Timelines are not saying that at all. They are celebrating a drama-free atmosphere in which JARED and HIS FANS are happy and relaxed. With specific fanbases and its actors - sometimes hate instigators - not present in this event, there's no animosity or hidden agenda to be guarded against to. It's a fact that many Jared fans stopped going to CE cons because they do not feel welcomed, do not want to witness Jared being mistreated and in the last place, the price. It's very evident that the CE cons the since the finale aired, those fanbases' disgusting behaviors have been escalating - as Jared's security - from loaded questions/ questions that purposefully exclude him to the point of paying for his photo-ops to photoshop or make fun of him. So, no. We dont need those joint things. We dont need to subject walker verse cast to this environment. Its bad enough that Jared is still signed all throughout 2023 for CE cons.

Jared's Saturday JIB12 appearance

While Jared wasn’t able to be at the con personally he was able to check in via facetime and answer some questions! This happened during MC’s afternoon panel but it turned into a sort of mini solo Jared panel/Q&A so let’s check it out.

It takes him a minute to get settled and for the audio to work, I don’t know why he didn’t just call when he was already set up but it is kind of funny. He says he’s doing great and that he wishes he was there at JIB. That they wrapped up ep 2 of Walker last night, meaning Friday night, and they start episode 3 on Monday morning which is why he couldn’t get to Rome because it’s a long flight.

Jared says he misses everyone so much he could cry (🥺) but he's happy the fans have some awesome, handsome, beautiful talented folks there to be there in person that he wishes he could see all the smiling faces. He was going to be looking at twitter a lot to pretend he was in Rome, and that it's so hot in Texas right now that while he’s inside his house with the AC he was sweating. 

It was 11:11 there so he makes a wish because that’s apparently something he always does 🌟

His wish is that he’ll be back in Italy before the end of 2022, and explains that the reason he couldn’t attend is that they are location dependent; there is an abandoned mental hospital in Austin that they are shooting at on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. Says it's like Deja Vu all over again for him to shoot at this abandoned mental hospital because of all the time they spend shooting in Riverview for SPN. 

He offers to answer questions if anybody has one so MC acts as the mic holder. 

During Jensen's afternoon panel a fan had asked Jensen a question that was meant for both him and Jared, this fan was at this panel as well and got to ask a question but they had forgotten what the original question they wanted to ask was so she gives up and asks another question: what was his favorite story arc across 15 seasons for Sam? 

The first one that comes to his mind is the s8 story arc. That it was kind of kismet or serendipitous the arc in s8 with the trials resulting in the finale Sacrifice because at the time he was having a lot of the same feelings that Sam was having, feelings of letting people down or not being good enough so it really made him search inside himself as Jared in order to search inside of Sam, and it kind of helped him out a lot so that whole bit of in this case not wanting to let his brother Dean down but also Jared not wanting to let people down made him kind of question what he was doing. So he really dug the arc of s8. x

What are his ideas for if we could one day revisit Sam and Dean following the penultimate episode of s15? 

The question cuts off for Jared so MC has to repeat it back to him so there’s a whole thing there where MC repeats the question as “after C dies, wouldn’t it be nice to have a whole other series that happens between episodes 19 and 20 with just Sam and Dean unencumbered by C?”  Yes, it fucking would, the show existed and was a success before you were even a thought. 

To be fair he does afterward tell Jared what the question was, and Jared starts to reply that he thinks it could have been interesting and it could be interesting but then he freezes and the connection cuts off for a minute but he's thankfully able to reconnect and answer the question. Says he and Jensen have talked about a great way to see some more of Sam and Dean Winchester. And without giving too many details, and he specifies nothing has been written, he thinks they’d like to see what would happen if somehow or another the boys ended up back on earth somehow. x

In what I find the most hilarious moment MC gets told to leave 😂

To clarify because I make it sound like he was kicked out, his panel time had run out and he had to go do photo ops so Daniela took over the mic so Jared could answer a couple more questions but Jared's audio was cutting off so he had to wrap up and say goodbye.

It was a short appearance but I'm so glad he was able to check in virtually and answer some questions. If you wanna watch the whole thing yourselves like I said it was during MC's panel but I'll provide a timestamp to when Jared shows up:

Jared Saturday JIB12 appearance

So this happened today! Walker Stalker Con Philly was amazing and getting to meet two of my favorite people made it SO much better.  Oh and having Norman call me sweetheart pretty much made my entire life(:

I don't get why some people (even J2 fans) are being so angry or shady about Keegan. Like I understand if you aren't a fan of Walker or him, and get some people are only in fandom or on Twitter to talk about J2, but he's a nice dude who seems to genuinely love Jared so what does it hurt? Jensen has plenty of other friends, for example Steve who has been at cons for years and no one ever seems to be upset about that. I just don't get it. Jared and Jensen are an entirely separate thing, those two are fucking soulmates and nothing could ever tear them apart or lessen their bond with each other; their relationship is completely unique and special and you can't recreate it. I'm sure they realize that. Keegan is his new buddy from the show. He lost his mother this year and maybe Jared was just trying to include him around the holidays and show him some love. They look cute together in photo ops and some people are acting like suddenly J2 won't have ops or panels together anymore, lol. 😞

Maybe we'll even get some jealous!Jensen out of this situation, and Keegan will enjoy himself and have a good time too. Win win scenario!
