How have I never noticed this before?

Misha at the Television Critics Tour in 2013, and Jensen in Mint Condition in 2018.

More Jensen in Mint Condition, and Misha at AHBL in 2013.

Scrolling through another fandom's tag a while back, I encountered a few anon asks warning people of the perils of bringing up RPF/shipping to the individuals who inspire it. While I agree with the sentiment, this person didn't choose a good example to go with it: Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins.

The gist of it was that this issue caused them to stop talking and even to refuse to do events together for a long time.

Which is blatantly untrue, for one:

2009 and 2010

2011 and 2012

2013 and 2014

2015 and 2016

2017 and 2018

2019 and 2020

2021 and 2022

2023 and 2024

[I'd add quotes but I think that's quite enough]

And secondly, why would it cause such a rift between Jensen and Misha when it didn't cause it between Jared and Jensen? I think you might have been misled by someone with an agenda...

So. Anon, you probably won't see this but I'll give you my advice anyway: if you really care about the topic, I'd find another example because this one works against you, if anything.

@ fangirlaround requested some examples, so here you go!🌸

The one I stumbled across recently was a video of J2 during the 2013 people’s choice awards.  Watch from around 0:46 seconds (especially if you want to skip the wife mention). It happens a few times, at least two. It's real blink and you��ll miss it moments. But very special if you catch them. 

Also matching outfits!!

PS: If you watch the whole thing keep a eye on Jensen’s reaction to the wife mention. Although he seems really upbeat and happy for most of the video, there is a visible shift when Jared talks about Gen. And, honestly it kind of breaks my heart a little.

Okay, next is the season two gag reel. Gosh, I love this gag reel so much. Jensen is so obviously head over heels for Jared. It is just adorable.

This last one always gets me cause he so busy staring at Jared that he literally almost falls! And when he recovers he just goes right back to staring!

Then there is that very memorable moment at AHBL where Jensen sings free falling.  Jensen just full out stares at Jared for what feels like the first part of the song.  The whole thing is just so romantic and lovely!

And then of course A day in Jared and Jensen’s life. Which has two huge moments:

I'm also going to link some other posts:

This lovely interview with the boys posted here

Then there is the JIB hug - full post over here

And another one from Vegas con 2017 over here. 

There are a ton more of these moments out there. And they are a joy to find and witness.

If anyone wants to add on, they are more than welcome!

Side note: none of the gifs or videos are mine, so just let me know if I used your content and you want me to remove it.

One of my favourite things about j2 is when Jensen gets so mesmerised by Jared that he literally loses track of time and keeps staring at Jared for a few moments. He literally has to shake himself out of it.
