#btw im noy saying that jensen and corey are involved now or that theyre fucking

[breaking-up-with-cockles]

I have a cockles tinhat theory AGAIN. I think that occasionally when Jensen has performed at the SNS and Misha is watching in the audience, I think that sometimes Jensen will motion to him. Or maybe indicate that whatever he is singing at the moment, is about or for Misha. The first time I thought this was at the Atlanta con in 2016. (Can I just post the videos and list the timestamps that things happen because my computer wont currently let me make shit quality gifs right now. Sorry.)

So Jensen points to someone off in the distance at 2m39s, possibly to someone in the balcony, right before he goes off stage for the instrumental break that Louden Swain rocks. We actually have video from Ruth who was watching and recording this performance from the balcony. Stephanie from Creation Ent was up there, and imo there is a good chance that other cast members, including Misha, were up there too. From Ruth’s vantage point in the balcony, you can clearly see Jensen pointing right at them in the balcony. And I understand that there are a lot of assumptions on my part here because we dont see or hear Misha, but who knows, maybe it was him that Jensen was indicating to. Also if you watch the group sing a few songs later, you see Ruth walk on stage hand-in-hand with Misha, which I think might support the theory that he was up there with her in the balcony. Here’s Ruth’s video and Jensen points at 6m28s.

We also know that Jensen has occasionally referred to Misha as a whipping post during the Cockles panel at the spnhon. Imo it looks like it means something specific and painful to Misha because he reacts emotionally and bites his lips as if trying not to break down even more.They’re broken up at the time btw and Misha just keeps digging himself in a hole deeper and deeper. This painful moment is at 15m14s.

But if you like pain, read the lyrics to Whipping Post. It kinda fits perfectly for someone who gets cheated on and lied to but out of love, stays tied to this person. If this is how Jensen has felt about Misha, than holy shit! Put my heart in a blender because NO! Anyways here are the lyrics for the sickos out there:

“Whipping Post”

I’ve been run down I’ve been lied to I don’t know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool She took all my money Wrecks my new car Now she’s with one of my good time buddies They’re drinkin’ in some cross town bar Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I’ve been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I’m dyin’ My friends tell me That I’ve been such a fool And I have to stand down and take it babe, All for lovin’ you I drown myself in sorrow As I look at what you’ve done Nothin’ seems to change Bad times stay the same And I can’t run Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I’ve been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I’m dyin’ Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel Like I’ve been tied To the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Tied to the whipping post Good lord I feel like I’m dyin’

So at vegascon last weekend, Jensen sang this song and it was a pretty spirited rendition, to say the least. Definitely compared to the disheartened performance he gave in Atlanta 2016 in that first video I posted.  But in Las Vegas, he rocked the air guitar and he just gave an overall fierce performance. Maybe it was because Corey Taylor was there, idk. I have no idea what their friendship is or how long they have known each other, but maybe having him back stage really had Jensen pumped because the dude was on fire and it was glorious.

So after Jensen melted our faces off with Whipping Post (or if you’re my dumb autocorrect, melted your feces. Grow up, AC!), imo it kinda looked like he was trying to keep his distance from Corey. Now Corey was all about Jensen, and ngl I adore the dude more for it. He kept trying to look to Jensen for maybe a connection and it wasn’t until  half the song was over, did jensen finally really connect and get into it. Again, this is all my stupid, completely biased opinion. Now full disclosure, I am not positive when Misha went into the crowd to watch, but some of the fans there said that it was while Jensen was singing. So with the big assumption that Misha happened to be in the audience during the time they sang Wanted: Dead or Alive, I wonder if the vibe or Jensen’s comfort level changed from when he and Corey rehearsed earlier in the day, which might explain why Corey was looking to him. Or maybe Corey is like all of us, and cant help but look at Jensen. Or maybe Jensen got nervous having Corey on stage with him with an audience there this time to compare him to the actual rock star. It was also weird/cute the way that after blowing our minds with an incredible version of Whipping Post, Jensen turns on his beta and puts his hand in his pocket. So yeah maybe it was having a real rock star on stage with him because if you ask me, it did look like Jensen was fangirling. but it’s not like Corey wasn’t either. He was facing Jensen as much as he could and he was cheating towards him when he couldn’t face. Anyways, I noticed that when Jensen was singing his paty at the beginning, his last “I’m wanted” at 8m16s he points out into the crowd. Interestingly enough, right before Corey Taylor starts in on his part, he noticed what Jensen had done and flashes his eyebrows, smirks knowingly, and then points to, what I assume, the same person that Jensen pointed to. Looks that way to me at least. But while looking all smuggy and hot (fuck me I had no idea the guy was so hot and really good), Corey scratches his chin with his middle finger.

Generally speaking, when someone flips the bird like that, it is an emblematic partial slip. Meaning, whoever Corey was nonverbally communicating with, he was subconsciously (or possibly consciously since he cant flick off someone on stage so he had to make it subtle) telling that person, fuck you or fuck off.  So, I think Jensen clued Corey in on his situation with Misha. If that was Misha both Jensen and Corey were signalling to, of course. Maybe Corey wasnt too happy with Misha in that moment.

And towards the end of the song, there is also this soft moment between Corey and Jensen. While they’re rocking their beautiful hearts out towards the end, they are leaning into each other and singing the chorus and at 11m16s Jensen puts his hand on his heart, and on the last “alive” when they’re both singing together, Corey puts his hand on Jensen’s shoulder.

Maybe it was like a way of saying, yeah this hurts, but you’re ALIVE! It was like he was reassuring him that as painful and shitty as this is now, you will survive and make it out alive. Or it means nothing. I really don’t know if it’s significant, but I was moved. Support! That's the word I couldnt remember. And not at all was I reminded of Cas’s handprint on Dean’s shoulder. Fuck.
