Jensen Ackles leaving the con | Charlotte (North Carolina) Convention, August 20, 2023

“The Q and A”

Jensen x Reader, Jared

Word Count: 656

Warnings: Jensen attention. Y’all know that shit’s lethal.

Summary: at a convention that seemed like all the others, Jensen sees a face in the crowd that stands out from all the rest. (Note: Jensen is single in this fic.)

“Thanks so much for your question,” Jared said with a smile. “Uh--who’s next?” Looking to the next person in line for the microphone, he waved sweetly to the girl in front, which just happened to be you.

Jensen wasn’t paying much attention, tired from the crazy week of traveling and a convention lasting all weekend. 

“My question was for both of you, actually,” you said trying to hide your nerves. You couldn’t believe you were actually talking to Jared and Jensen and your heart was racing. “If you could relive any moment in all of the years on the show, what would it be?”

Your voice over the speakers brought Jensen out of his trance as he fiddled with his mic. As he looked up, he saw the gorgeous woman that matched the voice and you smirked anxiously. 

Wherever Jensen’s mind had been only seconds before didn’t matter as he stared at you, almost as if you had taken his breath away. He smiled so genuinely, immediately intoxicated by you. 

“What’s that?” Jensen asked as his eyes locked on yours. 

“Uh--” you answered biting your lip nervously. “If you could re-experience any moment in the 15 years of Supernatural, what would it be?”

Pointing at Jared, Jensen put on a playfully stern face. “Don’t you dare say when you met your wife.”

Jared beamed. “I would have to say it was when I met my wife.”

“Oh, god...” Jensen muttered as he put his face in his palms in exasperation.

The audience laughed and Jared shot his buddy a forced innocent smile.

Once the crowd had died down, it was Jensen’s turn to answer. Again, he honed back in on you, unable to help the smile on his lips. “Well, for me--you know, I have a million things on the set that I would wanna relive in a heartbeat. But, uh--” he smiled as he glanced toward the ground and then back to you. “I think some of these conventions are pretty damn special.” Jensen licked his bottom lip without noticing and it sent chills down your spine. “Sometimes...you just get to meet incredible people.” 

The crowd cheered loving that they were such an important part of the series. It was what made Supernatural so special, it was a worldwide family.

“Be right back,” Jensen said into his microphone before running backstage. 

Jared’s playful side emerged as he gave the crowd nervous eyes. “He knows better than to leave me up here alone. Jensen!” he shouted. “Hurry back or I’m gonna start making way too many butt jokes.”

Everyone chuckled as Jensen rushed back on stage. “Did I miss the butt jokes?”

“I would never be ass-anine enough to do them without you.” Jared put up a hand for a high five and Jensen shook his head.

"I’m sorry, you guys. I can’t take him anywhere.”

As you returned to your seat, grinning like a fool after your encounter with the boys, a stagehand rushed over to you. She handed you a small piece of paper and whispered to you, “Jensen wanted me to give this to you.”

Your eyes went wide with shock as your hand reluctantly took the slip of paper. “Uh--okay...?”

The stagehand left and you unfolded the paper to see a small note.

I never do this so I hope I’m not being too forward. But, I have a question for you now. Would you want to have dinner with me later? :)

- J

You swallowed hard, unsure of what to make of what was happening only to peer up and see Jensen earnestly looking at you, waiting for your response. There was no controlling your smile as he shot you a questioning glance.  

Trying not to come off too eager, you nodded your head at him and he bit his lip excitedly. 

“You know,” he said into the microphone. “I have a feeling a feeling tonight’s gonna be a good one, guys.”

The recent events compelled me to add something.

As both an actor and tech, mess ups are okay. You have your lil laugh, reset and do your thing.

But constantly ruining takes to "be funny" or MAKING OTHERS mess up is NOT OKAY!!

Especially for technicians. Camera work, even when not held, IS TIRING! Most of the time you don't get to sit down. Boom/mic work? Always running around with your arms up, following the actors while making sure not to be in the shot. HELL.

Resets take time. Film costs. Time is money. Humans need food, hydration and rest. If an actor has to be on set for like 4 hours, the crew is on set ALWAYS, moving, running around, working, being vigilante. And fucking GOD I assure you we DO NOT CARE whether you're funny or not. Just fucking get it over with.

And to other actors, constant interruptions/distractions/mess ups are VERY frustrating. Redoing a shot over and over and over again, because someone decided to be a clown, impacts on their performance.

They might lose the drive for the scene, be too frustrated or tired or angry to keep going, and end up doing a bad job or messing up the take themselves.

Amongst other obvious things, this is the reason I've always sided with Jensen and especially Misha. They are both incredibly talented and dedicated actors, who got dragged into and made the butt of the joke of jarjar's mess.

It's not "haha you're so funny" behaviour, it's "what the fuck is wrong with you" behaviour.

THIS IS KILLING ME

Day 9: Ice Skating

Warnings: None Characters: Sam & Dean Winchester, Sister Winchester Reader, Castiel Summary: Y’all go ice skating! Reader’s Age: Not old enough to buy alcohol? Word Count: 1616

Y/N: Your Name

A/N: Fun fact; I’ve never been ice skating. Enjoy!

25 Days of Christmas Masterlist

You stood at your dresser putting some clothes away when Sam appeared in your doorway. "Hey," he leaned against the door.

"What's up?" You asked.

"I'm gonna head out to pick up a few things we need, wanna come?"

You thought for a moment, "Sure, why not?" You closed your drawer and flashed Sam a smile.

You two arrived in the small town not too far away.

Sam pulled up into the grocery store parking lot. As you got out, your eyes were focused on something being built across the street. "What do you think it is?" You asked Sam, keeping your eyes focused on the construction.

"Probably an ice skating rink," Sam replied.

"How do you know?" You glanced at him.

"Because of the big sign that says, 'New ice skating rink! Open tonight at seven!'" Sam looked at you with a slight grin.

"Oh... I didn't see that..." You mumbled, earning a few chuckles from Sam.

After you and Sam got the stuff you walked back outside. "We should go ice skating," you turned around, getting in front of him and walking backward.

"You wanna go ice skating? Why?" He questioned.

"I've never been! I think it would be fun to see Cas and Dean on skates," you smiled at just the thought.

"Actually, Dean and I took you once when you were pretty little. You fell on your butt and cried so hard your tears actually started melting the ice," Sam joked, earning a bitch-face from you. "Kidding! You did cry pretty hard, though."

You two reached the Impala. Sam went to the driver's side and you went to the passenger's; you both stopped before opening the door, "Well, now that I'm older, if I fall, I won't cry! So, what do ya' say?" You did a little shimmy.

"If you can convince Dean and Cas to go then you bet we can go ice skating," Sam smiled before getting in.

"Yes!" You whispered-yelled before getting into the Impala.

After arriving home at the bunker, Sam went to put the groceries away and you went to go talk to Dean.

"Hey, Dean..." You placed your hands on a chair that was across from him.

"Hey," Dean closed his laptop.

"What are your... Uh... Views on ice skating?" You cringed at the sentence you just said. You really couldn't come up with anything better?

"My views?" Dean chuckled, "I don't know, it's... Something? I-" Dean stopped himself and shrugged.

"I mean, what would it take to get you to go ice skating? Hypothetically!" You asked. Dean's eyebrows furrowed together before a smirk took over his face. "I-I don't like that look," you pointed at him.

"You wanna know what it's gonna take to get me to go ice skating, huh?" Dean slowly nodded. "I want three pies, a case of beer..." Dean stopped to think, "And a friend a few towns over needs help with moving a grand piano into her new house, I really don't wanna do it, but I'm sure she'll be happy with you goin'." Dean's smirk got bigger.

"You want me to help your friend move a grand piano? Do you even see these noddle arms? How the hell am I supposed to do that?" You dropped your arms to your sides.

"If you do all of that today, then I'll go ice skating," Dean leaned back in his chair.

"YOU WANT ME TO DO ALL THAT TODAY?" You yelled. Dean pursed his lips and nodded. You let out a large sigh, "What kind of pie you want?"

"Surprise me," he grinned at you.

"I'll surprise you alright..." You mumbled, "Dean you do realize that I'm not even old enough to buy beer, right?"

"Figure it out," he simply replied as he opened his laptop again. You groaned and ran out of the room.

"SAM! SAMMY!" You yelled shortly before entering the kitchen.

"What! What?" Sam was about to run out of the kitchen before he saw you.

"We need to go back to the store,"

"Sam can't help you," Dean said as he entered the kitchen, "You gotta do it on your own."

Your mouth was slightly agape, "W-what? How-" you stared at Dean, "I am not letting you win, Dean Winchester, you hear me?" You left the kitchen, "YOU WON'T WIN!" You yelled.

It took you only half an hour to put together a fake I.D. You tossed your bag over your shoulder and told your brothers you were heading out. First, you'll go help Dean's friend and on the way back you'll pick up the things Dean requested.

You got into a car and started driving. It'll only take you two hours tops to get there with the speed you're going, possibly a few hours to help, two hours to get back, plus having to stop to get the stuff, and you'll have a few hours to spare to go ice skating.

... Sam and Dean's P.O.V...

"You really don't think she's going to do all that stuff?" Sam asked.

"Nah, after the piano and the drive she'll be too tired to even think about ice skating." Dean leaned back in his chair.

"We'll see about that, man," Sam chuckled as he took a swig of beer.

... Your P.O.V...

You finally got done with the piano, it took a little longer than anticipated, but that's okay, you still got time if you just go a little faster going back.

You drove up to the grocery store and went in, going straight for the pie. You looked at the choices, thinking which ones would Dean hate the most. Which is almost impossible since Dean loves all pies. You were just going to get three apple pies until you saw it; Shepherd's pie. The pie filled with meat and potatoes. Dean loves meat, but he believes it doesn't belong in pie. You grabbed three and went to find the beer.

You grabbed a case off the shelf and went to check out. You set your items down as the clerk gave you a weird look.

"Can I see some I.D.?" She asked.

You nodded and pulled out your I.D., praying that it would work. She looked at you, then your I.D., then you again before giving it back to you and telling you your amount owed. You gave her the money and rushed out of the store to get home. You still have a few hours before the rink closes.

You arrived home and ran inside with the bags of pie and beer. You strode into the library and placed them in front of Dean. "Let's go," you smiled.

Dean stared at the bags, "You've been gone all day, you really wanna go ice skating?"

"I. Win." You stared deep into his eyes with a small satisfied smirk.

Dean sighed, "Alright, you won, let's go," Dean stood up and grabbed his jacket. Sam stood as well and gave you a smile.

You called Cas on the way to the rink and he popped into the Impala. After you explained what you were doing, he was pretty much on board. Mainly because he didn't understand how it could be so hard.

You all got to the ice skating rink and got your skates. You got yours on, you tried to stand up on them but immediately fell forward, but luckily Sam was there to catch you and help balance you.

"These are beyond uncomfortable to walk around in," you commented, everyone seemed to agree.

"It's not that bad," Sam replied.

"Oh, that's right," Dean spoke, "You used to go ice skating," he laughed.

"You've ice skated?" You questioned.

"Yeah, I was pretty good at it," Sam replied. You nodded, a little impressed.

"Alright, enough chit-chat! Let's go!" You limped over to the actual rink, holding onto the wall.

You placed your right foot on the ice and it shot forward, you hit the ground with a thud that made people turn their heads. Dean had to hold his laughter in as Sam helped you up.

"I'll get the hang of it, just you wait!" You were a little delirious from the day you've had.

You were able to get both feet on the ice without either of them slipping from under you. You clung to the wall as Sam helped coach you. You turned around and saw Dean about to get on the ice. You and Sam both stopped to watch.

Dean got both feet on the ice, everything seemed to be good until his foot went forward and his hands started flying everywhere, along with his feet. He struggled to try and get his footing. It kind of looked like a cat on ice.

After what seemed like forever of slipping, Dean finally stopped and stood still. He let out a breath of relief before his feet shot out from under him and he hit the ground. You, Sam and the people on the rink burst out laughing as Dean just slowly laid down on the ice.

Sam helped you skate over and Sam offered a hand to help Dean up, which he grudgingly took.

You patted Dean on the shoulder as you all watched Cas take his first few steps onto the ice. He looked like he was a natural. One foot after the other he glided around the rink. You all watched with your mouths slightly agape as your angel friend mastered ice skating in only a few seconds.

Cas skated over to you and stopped.

"You-you were... I..." You were speechless.

"I told you I didn't understand why humans thought this was hard," Cas commented as he slowly skated away. You started laughing, your brothers shortly joining.

I hope y’all like this one! I’m open for tips on improving!

Hey Darling: Part 8

Pairing: Rob Benedict x Reader 

Series Summary: You’re new to conventions but its okay because you meet some pretty amazing people, including Rob Benedict. 

Warnings: Angst, Fluff, Drug use, Mentions of a stroke 

Word Count: 2040

A/N: Okay, please don’t kill me... but yes Rob smokes weed in this AU, basically I wrote this while watching “A little help” so it’s heavily based on the scene where Rob’s character is smoking weed and I even used some of the movies script, anyway personally I feel like Rob definitely has smoked weed because loads of his songs mention being high so I don’t think he’s out of character but I mean everyone has their own opinion.

Part 7 | Hey Darling Masterlist | More Rob | Part 9

    After the convention was over you were happy to finally be home and be able to relax. You were sitting on your bed on your phone when all of a sudden there was a power outage, you soon realised there was a power outage on your whole street. "I have ice cream in the freezer, cold beer in the fridge and no electricity anyone volunteer to come over and help me eat it before it all melts?" You tweeted it didn't take long for you to start getting replies from fans saying they'll join you. Briana even responded with "ice cream? I want to come I wish I lived closer :,(" and then surprisingly Misha replied "Pick me! Pick me! I want to join." His reply made you laugh and then you noticed that Rob had replied with "I volunteer as tribute." You decided to text him asking if he actually wanted to join you and he said sure so you decided to wait for him to come to your house. It didn't take him long to show up. "Ooo candles how romantic." He joked seeing your living room lit by candles.

"Shut up its for light seeing that there's no power." You said making him smile. "Okay pick your poison but dibs on the (your favourite flavour) ice cream." You said to Rob showing him the contents of your freezer. Once he chose one you retreated back to your couch with Rob and took a selfie together to commemorate the moment posting it on Twitter with the caption. "Look who showed up to eat ice cream with me." And of course you tagged Rob. You spent the next hour or so just talking, about books,  movies just random stuff.

"So we're out of ice cream and beer." You said as you drank your last sip of beer.

"Anything else you have that we can eat or drink?" Rob asked making you laugh.

"Sadly no."

"Well I have beer and electricity back home at mine want to come over?" Rob offered.

"Sure, but wait can you drive ?" You questioned and he waved you off.

"It'll be fine." He said making you laugh. You two got to his and decided to watch some TV halfway through Rob said he's going out for a smoke. It surprised you that Rob smokes  you could've sworn he told you he doesn't smoke cigarettes but you didn't question it in fact after a few minutes of contemplating it you decided one cigarette wouldn't hurt so you took the pack you bought after your break up with Rob out of your purse and went outside into Rob's garden to join him. He was sitting in a beautiful wooden gazebo located at the top of the garden and lit by some nice flood lights. "Hello?" You said walking into to the wooden gazebo to see Rob just lighting a spliff.

You made him jump and pull it away from his mouth saying "oh my god, hey, hi, you scared me." While blowing out the smoke and waving it away with his hand.

"Sorry, I just came out here for a beer and a smoke, but the other kind." You said showing him your cigarette.

"Ah a little impromptu degeneracy festival. That's excitin." He said with a small laugh making you laugh. "Come on up." He added tapping the bench besides him. You sat down next to him as he bought the splif up to his lips and then offered it to you by making the "mm?" Noise.

"Mm." You made the similar noise but one of denying as put your beer down next to you. "No thanks pot makes me kinda paranoid." You explained before looking at Rob's hand that was still holding it in front of you and you said "alright." And went to grab it. As Rob breathed out what he had in his mouth with a small chuckle and you bought the solid to your mouth. He turned around as of he was looking at the house. "Shit Y/N look your mom! Oh god." He said making you immediately blow out and start looking around in panic. Before you looked at Rob who was grinning and you began laughing, he tricked you, the two of you started laughing hysterically as you said "god damn it."

"Wow you start off paranoid." He said slowly containing his laughter.

You looked down and said "oh no, that's all I need in my life right now for my mother to come to LA and catch me smoking pot."  You said passing the spliff over to Rob.

"What could she do? What could she possibly do to you at this point in your life?" Rob asked calmly putting the spliff up to his lips.

"I don't know. More of the same I guess." You said accepting the spliff back from Rob and smoking some more before giving it back to Rob who sucked some in before looking up into the sky, or more the gazebo roof and blowing out. "I mean what does your mom know you smoke?" You asked and he looked at you with a grin.

"Ha!" He said before chuckling. "God, no. She'd pass out." He said throwing away the butt of the spliff as you drank some beer. "And on the way down she'd call the FBI." He added making you both laugh. "No, I've always kept my weed stash well hidden." He said fiddling with his lighter. "Just right next to my kiddie porn." He said with a small hand gesture whole saying"right next to"  before looking back down at his lighter, you waited a beat before speaking again.

"You don't have kiddie porn." You said drinking a bit of beer.

"No..." He said lighting the lighter and then letting go and just watching the flame before sitting up properly. "Not kiddie." He added as you put you beer down. "I don't know what's the cut off?" He asked with a grin, making you raise your eyebrows as he laughed at your expression. "Stop it. You're making me wonder." You said with a small grin and he chuckled lightly. "No, no, I'm just a mid level perv, nothing exceptional." He said leaning on the banister of the gazebo with his elbow so he was now sitting facing you. "Although, I guarantee you every man worries what his wife will find in his closet if he drops dead one day." He added with a small grin.

"Well now I'm intrigued."

"Oh nothing special just a shrine for Misha, Jared and Jensen." He said making you laugh. "In the middle there's the picture of you and Misha in bed to show how much better he is than me." Rob added and you looked down.

"Rob..." you started before he interjected.

"Sorry, it's the weed, they should make this stuff illegal." He said making you laugh slightly before there was moment of silence. "Can I admit something because I'm stoned?" Rob asked and you nodded. "Okay so, I'm still fu- really annoyed that you cheated on me and I'm really upset because of it and I feel like I can never trust you again but I'm tired of being angry at you I'm tired of being upset, of seeing you upset, you're one of my best friends you can always make me laugh and I want to go back to how it was before you cheated, I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too Robbie." You said and he shifted closer to you, out his hand under your chin prompting you to look up at him as you two began to kiss. It was all okay again.

"Can we pretend I never broke up with you and you never cheated?"

"Definitely." You said leaning on to kiss him again. "Rob, don't get me wrong I love kissing you and I've missed kissing you but both me and you we taste like ash trays can I go inside and brush my teeth." You said and Rob started to laugh.

"Yeah let's go." He said and the two of you stood up he put a arm around your shoulder and you leaned into his touch it just felt right.

The next morning you woke up alone in Rob's bed, you looked around the room for any sign of Rob but the only thing you could see was the mix of yours and Rob's clothes on the floor, you collected all your clothes and got dressed before putting all of Rob's clothes in his laundry basket, that was in the same place as back when you spent nearly every night at his house, then you ventured to find Rob, you walked around the whole house, you finally found him, he was sitting outside in the wooden gazebo playing the guitar and singing when you got closer you could hear he's singing help you.

"You can dream it went a different way Close your eyes and fly the lie away Rewrite the ending of the play" he sang before strumming the rod as you walked up to the entrance and leaned in the doorway watching him as he looked up.

"Wow you should be in a band." You said and he laughed slightly.

"Do you want breakfast? I think I have some-"

"No thanks I was thinking I'll head home check if the powers back if it isn't then go to (Best Friends Name) house and put the contents of my fridge and freezer in hers before it all melts." You said still learning on the side of the gazebo.

"Okay." He said quietly.

"Is everything okay Rob?" You asked noticing he's acting different. All he did was shut his eyes and mouth tightly as if he was trying not to cry and nodded.

"Rob what's wrong?" You asked standing up straight.

"I got a call this morning around seven," he said putting the guitar to one side and rubbing his hand over his face as if he was trying to hold himself together. "My mom- my mom had a stroke,"

"Oh god Rob." You said as you walked up to him to hug him.

"She's in hosp-" he said but couldn't finish the sentence because he just broke down and you put a hand over his shoulder and his head as he leaned into you upper body.

You tried to comfort him best you could, you didn't know what to do or say so you just tries to comfort him. "Is she in Missouri? You asked and Rob nodded. "Okay this is what we're gonna do I'm gonna go home and check if my kitchen is flooded because of a defrosted freezer your gonna go inside and pack, I'll book your flight and everything come back and take you to the airport and you're flying to Missouri."

"No..." He said quietly.

"Why not?" You asked.

"We're finally happy together again, I don't want to leave-"

"Rob, your mom is in hospital, that's more important than us." Yous said letting go of him and holding his hand.

"You're still wearing it." He said with a small smile the "it” he was referring too was a cheap leather bracelet that you were wearing. He bought it you when you two were at the beach, one of the small stores there was selling bracelets and you decided to do the most cheesy thing ever, he bought you one and you bought him one, they were identical and subtle enough for no one to know you two were going out. On the inside in sharpie both of you wrote the date that you guys met because it was a day neither of you wanted to forget.

"Of course,  and you're still wearing it too." You pointed out.

"Of course." He said nodding slightly. "Come with me." He said quietly looking up at you after a moment of silence.

"I'll try I'll see when I have work next if they don't need me to film the next episode soon then I'll come with you okay, I'll call you once I book the tickets okay?"

"Okay." He said and you walked away pulling your fingers away from his as he sat their starring forwards in pain.

PittCon Saturday

(holy shit y’all this was so much to remember from this morning until now. sorry if I forgot anything) Also this is obnoxiously long so this one gets a cut. #You’reWelcome

Read Friday’s here.

Part One: 

No Rob Benedict. Rich makes promises of him later.

ROB BENEDICT!!! He walked out with Briana and she claims she planned the whole thing.

Briana, Kim, and Gil didn’t have anyone lined up for questions. Briana threatened period talk. Gil blushed. 

Questions for Briana today instead of Kim. Briana does a little victory thing every time someone says, “My question is for Bri.” Kim mocks her from yesterday and says, “I’m gonna answer it anyway.”

Gil is third-wheelin’ it, hard. 

Gil addresses the whole thing that happened with the butt grabbing. He wanted to “nip it in the bud because it was weighing very heavily” on him. Apparently I missed that last night because I had no idea what he was even talking about when he said it. He’s a great guy. Try not to fault him for one little slip, yeah? He’s human. Cut the man some slack. 

Part Two: 

Rob scolds Rich for not telling us about the “I <3 KoC” shirts. Debates about whether it’s pronounced like Coke or like cock. “Wear that to Grandma’s house.” “One of those things will kill you!” 

Matt, Rob, and Rich bounce off of one another unbelievably well. 

Pssst, Matt Cohen is fucking attracccttiivveeeee

Questions about other projects and hobbies come up. Matt says he wants to get into racing again. Racing is in his future. Richard says he’s a lot like his father. His father was a lawyer. Rob used to have his own baseball league. With himself. He made up teams like “The Colors” and “Other Things.”

Rob and Rich are besties and it makes my life. 

The pilot for Skyward is streaming now on Amazon. Rich said there’s a part already sketched out for Rob if the show continues. It wasn’t his idea to include Rob, but he wanted to eventually anyway. 

Part Three:

Mark Sheppard is either consistently grouchy or was very tired/cranky today.

Almost all of his answers boiled down to one word, so that was the one word he used, and then moved on. He probably answered more questions on his own than Misha and Jake did combines just because of how fast he was moving. 

He said fuck Creation’s rules and walked around the crowd most of the time. Also joked about how when he was more powerful (and important), they never would’ve allowed that. (sad face on my part)

A fan asks how he feels about Fergus’s deal and how he lost his soul, what he sold it for. He doesn’t laugh. Just says, “If you want to ask about my penis, there are other ways to do it. I can’t relate to Fergus, if that’s what you’re asking.”

His favorite line is “Where’s your moose?” 

“You’re good, but I’m Crowley,” was improv. 

Talking about his wife and daughter made him light up like a Christmas tree. It was adorable. 

Everyone thinks he hates cats. He got very snarky about it. “Did I say I hate cats? No. I don’t hate anything. I hate Misha. Oops.”

He thinks Crowley came full circle. There wasn’t much else for him to do in the series, he thinks. 

He doesn’t understand the logic behind Rowena being Crowley’s mother.When Rowena dies at the hands of Lucifer (the first time), Mark said the line, “Always thought I’d be the one to do it,” felt very right in that moment.

Part Four: 

Jake Abel has the bubbliest butt in the entire cast. To quote myself from earlier today, “You could bounce a fuckin nickel off of that thing.”

He’s been creating plotlines and ways to bring Adam back. New plans are made every time he comes to a convention. Currently, we’re looking at an Adam spinoff in which he and his mother are resurrected (him from Hell, her from Heaven) and become hunters. They have “opposing forces!” as Jake said, and the story would follow the way they got the opposing forces to work together for the same common purpose.

This man is insane. 

He kept reminding us that he was in a weird mood because his flight didn’t get in until 4am.

Sleepy Jake is the cutest. 

Talk of Percy Jackson. 

Lots of talk about bringing Adam back. 

Part Five: 

MISHA. FREAKIN. COLLINS.

Guys. I’ve never been more amazed by one person’s smile and overall attitude. He’s so cheery and bright and uugghhh Misha.

He tells a story about his dad, and then says that he had to tell his children about his parents’ (brief, I think?) split, but he doesn’t want it to sound like that’s the only way marriages can end. The next day, his son went to school and told the teacher, “I want my parents to get a divorce.” I literally have no idea if this is true, but it’s what Misha told us.

Fake spoilers for Season 13, but he told us that he was filming it last night. Jared and Jensen still fuck with him to no end. 

“We were filming. Jared was on the bed, and we were doing something we don’t usually do on Supernatural.” *cue roars from the audience*

I think he tried to fight someone in the crowd. I have photos of his bulgy eyes and sassy jawline. Yeah, it’s a thing. 

MY PHOTO OP WITH HIM !!!!!!!!!

I was going to show him the photo of himself standing in front of the whiteboard with his drawing of Maison and the dandelion. Creation doesn’t allow phones in the photo op rooms so I had to put it in my pocket, which was fine.

I walked up and asked the woman if I could show him something. She said, “Sure, just make it quick!” Again, I get it. Not a problem. 

I’m standing there waiting with my arm pulled out of my sleeve to show him my tattoo. I walk up and I’m greeted with the most amazing smile and such a soft “hi.” 

I blurt out, “I NEED TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!” *shoves my arm towards him* *silence from Misha as he stares*

His mouth kind of popped open when he realized what it was. His eyes are so freakin’ blue and I know because he looked me directly in them and told me, “That’s amazing.” 

My heart is racing, but I lean and and we hug and Chris snaps the photo. I step to walk away and Misha grabs my hands (!!!!!!!!!) I turn and look up at him (because damn he’s tall! He’s right, he’s just surrounded by giants.) and he squeezes my hands. “That’s amazing.” It’s so quiet and I blink for a second. “Thank you.” I get another tight hand squeeze and thank him before running into the hallway and crying. (*inhale* I’m okay, really.)

HUGE HUGE HUGE FUCKIN’ THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED MONEY TO GET ME THAT OP. I LOVE YOU ALL AND IF/WHEN I MEET YOU GUYS, HUGS ALL AROUND.

On to the auto. I showed him the tattoo again, quickly spat out, ”I know I showed it to you at the photo ops but...!”  and he drew a heart next to his name when he signed it. I got another “That’s amazing. Thank you so much.” and that friggin smile

I still don’t know if he knows the tattoo is his handwriting. I assume he could tell when he looked at it, especially for how long he looked at it. But *shrugs* maybe one day I’ll tell him.

While waiting for Misha’s op, I MET @HIGHONPASTRIES (whose tumblr is literally not working this weekend, just FYI)!!! There’s a selfie to prove it. Will be posted later.

Part Six: 

SNS

Jake introduces the band. First starts by demanding that we chant, “Bring Adam back,” over and over again. Chant quickly turns into, “Lou-den Swain.”

I didn’t know I needed a fuckin’ KAZOO. *cough cough* @torn-and-frayed @nichelle-my-belle-spn-con-blog (still waiting for the kazoo tip to make an appearance)

Rob Benedict sang half a song without a microphone. Don’t know why. It just wasn’t working. 

MATT COHEN WINKED AS HE RAN PAST ME Y’ALL. Camera was too slow to capture it but if anyone has that wink, good God send it this way, please.

Sam Smith popped out! Just to introduce Kim though - no singing. 

Kim Rhodes was so nervous and I just want to hug her and tell her she’s amazing. 

Briana was wearing LEATHER BOOTS UP TO HER HIPS. #YAAAASSSS

Gil McKinney. That fuckin’ man. Making me cry and shit, two days in a row. 

Drunk Matt Cohen is a thing of my dreams. 

Lots of guest appearances within the band. Chris on bass, Rich on bass, Adam from Creation on keys, Rich on guitar and the mic. Nobody takes Billy’s guitar from him though ;) 

Whipping Post sans Jensen. Still fuckin’ awesome. 

Fare Thee Well!!!! Rob prefaced it with a spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen the episode yet. *giggle*

Rob cried singing She Waits. Then said he loves us so much it’s unreal. This man is pure and good and needs to be protected at all costs. 

They played my faaave song. It’s called Amazing. 

Kazoo song. Also known as Medicated. Someone had an amplifier for their kazoo. Rob was very impressed. Cast members are getting better at the kazoo solo. Rob isn’t happy about it. “This isn’t as fun when you guys are gooood.” 

Questions? Comments? Anything? If you’re at the con, come find me and say hi! I’ll be in (or around) seat D25! :) 

TOMORROW I MEET JARED AND JENSEN Y’ALL THIS IS ITTTTT. *quietly crying bc tomorrow is the end*

*falls into bed and immediately starts snoring* P.S. Cons are exhausting in the best possible way.

J2 JIBCon 2017 Second Saturday Panel

At the beginning of the panel Jared sits on Jensen’s knee and then his phone falls out of his pocket lol.

J2 are given a toy mic and they proceed to throw it in the air for each other so they can kick it around lol.

Jensen: Hey Jared. Jared: Hey Jensen. Do you have a joke about alligators? Jared: What do you call a crocodile in a vest? An investigator. Jensen: Welcome to the dad joke segment of the day. It’s gonna be a punny night. 

Will they do Tough Mudder again? Jensen: We’d love to. Asks the fans to write their wives and ask for some time off. Fans offer to babysit. They will do it again but don’t know when or where but Jensen thinks they will do it again. Jared: Team Naked. 

Jensen looks at Jared and says “hang on.” He reaches to grab a fuzz or a hair that’s on Jared’s chin. Jared attempts to lick him but not before Jensen is able to snatch it lol. Jared laughs gleefully, then tells a story about when J2, Gen and Danneel were out and dinner and Jensen was getting something off of Jared’s face and Jared did the same thing (licking his hand). Jensen: Both of our wives were like, what is wrong with you guys? :P Boys are cracking up.

Fan is asking if there was ever a scene or storyline they read that made them think, yes, this is exactly what my character is. Jared: That’s a fucking great question. The boys talk to each other for a few seconds before Jensen says for this season in particular, Regarding Dean was one of his favorite episodes of the season and series. Because it gave him range of play and allowed him to go from dramatic, emotional to funny and ridiculous. It was a lot of fun. 

Jared: Yeah, and he was great. For Jared, he goes back to Heart, mentions there are some recent ones. Jensen: What was that, like season 3? Jared: Two. Jensen: Two? So 10 years ago you did something you were proud of? Jared: Yep. Did you not? Jensen: No, man. I get better with age. 

Jared mentions Heart, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sacrifice, Red Meat. Jensen: I will say one thing about this one (Jared) and I’ve said this before. Jensen talks about The End, how it’s one of his favorite episodes of the whole series. He knew it was gonna be a heavy episode. Had to play two different versions of Dean opposite each other. He really worked hard on it, did a lot of homework and prep. It was very difficult. Jensen: and then, asshole here shows up like day 8 in his white suit as Lucifer and like nails it, like out of the park nails it. Well, that just became Jared’s best episode.

As Jensen is praising Jared, Jared is staring at the ground shyly. He nudges and pats Jensen a couple times in thanks. 

Fan says she loved the finale, is wondering if the goggle scene was scripted or improv? It was not scripted. Jared and Jensen were asked to break through a wall that was 18 inches of real concrete. They had them test hitting the concrete. There was a ton of debris flying at them. The boys were like, asking two Texans to do this? Challenge accepted! 

They didn’t ask for goggles at first. Jensen got some debris in his eye. Stunt coordinator came in and said: “These guys get eye-wear, period.” He said they would put in stunt doubles if they didn’t have goggles because it became a safety issue. They were “beating the shit” out of the wall. Their props lady, Robin, found some old school leather goggles. Even with the goggles on, Jensen would hit and kind of turn away because the rock was like cutting his face. They were going at it. The crew had told them: You can’t get through this. J2 looked at each other like, let’s do it. Jensen: You don’t challenge us with like physical feats. They were beating on the wall longer than what was shown in the episode. They were proud and they broke through. The set design and art department were like how did you break through 18 inches of concrete in like 60 seconds? Jensen: ‘Cause we’re awesome, that’s why. Jared: I believe we said, because we’re not the Losechesters. J2 both do a mic drop. 

Question about their friendship. Boys joke that their relationship is like a friendship prison for 12 years. They then answer seriously. Jared: “You know what’s fun? Somebody told me one time that their definition of friendship was when you could be around somebody and be silent. He and I fly a lot together from Vancouver to Austin...and a lot of times we’ll be around each other for 3, 4, 5 hours with not a word said. And it’s not weird.” Jared says it’s one of the coolest things for him. There’s no need to fill any void. They get each other. Maybe they’re reading scripts, watching a movie, etc. Jared loves being able to “experience this cool life with somebody” that you don’t have to talk to. Jared knows that sounds weird, but he means it. They can be together in that silence when one of them is tired or doing something, and feel absolutely comfortable and not awkward. Jared pats Jensen’s chest. 

Jensen answers by saying that he and Jared have a shorthand of communication that exists between them. Jensen: “It really makes the relationship easy and, you know, comfortable. He and I have quite a shorthand.” Jared demonstrates how they know each other so well that Jensen can be like hey candy and toss it at Jared and Jared will catch it no problem because he knew it was coming. Jared tosses Jensen candy on stage and Jensen catches it. Jared: “Like that kind of shit.” Jensen: “I knew he was gonna throw that. Like oh, here we go, and there it is. 

Jensen: “There is a shorthand between he and I that exists. We don’t have to look at each other, we don’t have to say anything, it’s a real friendship. And it’s a real connection with another human being that is rare and it’s cool and great and I’m glad that he’s in my life.” <3

Jared is looking at the ground again and gives Jensen another pat on the chest. 

A fan says Sam and Dean and Jared goes: Salmon Dean? ;) 

Fan asks about Cas’ death scene. Jensen says what was going through his mind was that it was 5 in the morning and he was tired and wanted to go home and Misha was really making a meal out of it and it “was like God, just die, so we can go home and be done with this.” Jensen says in all seriousness that it was a hard scene because the brothers didn’t have a lot of time to react to everything that had happened; the brothers didn’t process what had just happened. Probably get more of that reaction in season 13. Jared: Or not lol. 

Jared says it was a hard scene to shoot, lots of stuff going on and it was discombobulated. Jared talks about how life doesn’t always happen how you expect it to. Jared enjoyed the abrupt, abrasive nature of Cas dying the way he did because it goes along with what life is like, how things can happen suddenly. They’re interested to see what happens in the first script of next season. 

Jensen: Hey Jared, give me your best Irish accent. Jared: Is anyone here from Ireland? I’m so sorry. He gives a ‘performance’ of his Irish accent, which includes singing about lucky charms and doing a little jig, with Jensen assisting by holding up his mic. Jensen says that it’s impossible for Jared not to moves his knees when he does it lol. 

J2 then discover the wheel on the corner of the stage, which the they spin to tell them what to do. Jensen: Hey Jared. He spins the wheel and music starts playing. Jared makes it land on the card telling them to drink, so Jensen takes a drink. This is repeated a few more times until Jared is laughing so hard he collapses on the ground. Jensen says he doesn’t want to play anymore because the “apple juice” is going to his head lol. 

Jensen looks over at a fan at the mic and asks: “Did we answer your question?” not realizing that the fan hasn’t asked one yet lmao. 

J2 start cracking up again. Jensen stands back up and once again spins the wheel while he and Jared dance to the music. This time Jared drinks. They are putting that whiskey to good use. 

A fan asks a would you rather question and Jared responds with one of his own instead. Whispers to Jensen and asks the fan: Would you rather audibly fart every time you said the word ‘the’ or have to pay $10 every time you say the word ‘and’? The fan chooses fart and Jared says Yes! But Jensen seems disappointed with her answer lol. This all results in Jensen saying Hey Jared, sticking his finger out, and having him pull his finger. 

More spinning of the wheel and dancing ensues. 

There’s a guitar on stage and Jensen grabs it. Jensen grabs it and says: “Hey Jared. Come here and sing something for me.” He says that when Jared spun the wheel it landed on sing or dance. “You spun the wheel, brother.” 

Jensen tries to get Jared to sing as he plays the guitar a bit, but Jared is obviously feeling shy about it. Instead, he messes around with the cards on the wheel. He grabs the one that says to imitate someone else so he impersonates Jensen. He then grabs one that says “Surprise” and presses it against Jensen’s crotch - who doesn’t even flinch and just keeps playing the guitar with a smile on his face while Jared puts the “drink” sign on his own crotch and wanders around the stage. 

Jensen says “Hey Jared” and plays a little song for a second. He then says that having the fans show up is a pleasure in their lives and thanks them. 

Jared removes the sign he put on Jensen as he talks.

Panel ends with Jensen saying that “maybe, just maybe, this *strums the guitar once* will turn into something a little bit more” tomorrow. 

Jensen gives love to the fans, Jared blows the fans kisses and follows Jensen off the stage, giving him a slap on the butt on the way.

Dean pulled up to Evelyn’s house and parked but didn’t turn off the car.

“Why don’t you and Sarah go inside and I’ll stay here with Y/N.” Dean said, looking at his brother. You and Sarah were in the back and she gave you a shy smile.

“Fine.” Sam said, tired of arguing with him. Him and Sarah got out and started walking away. Dean smirked and turned the radio on, going to a station before turning it up. A cheesy love song started playing loudly.

Sam spun around and motioned for Dean to turn it off. With a roll of his eyes, he turned it off and leaned back. They walked to the house and disappeared inside of it.

“Do you think he’ll make a move?”

“Not a chance.” Dean said, looking at you.

“Maybe we should trap him in a room full of sexy women and then maybe he’ll man up with one of them.” You joked.

“I think he’ll lecture them to death.” Dean chuckled. You laughed and agreed with him. You wondered what was taking them so long when you heard a loud slam. You looked to see the opened front door now slammed shut.

You and Dean jumped out of the car and ran to the house, pounding on the door. Dean tried to get it open but it was as if there was some sort of glue holding it together.

“Dean! Hey! Is that you?” You heard the muffle voice of Sam say.

“Sammy, you alright?” Dean asked, trying to hear him. Just then, his phone rang and he answered it, putting it on speakerphone.

“Tell me you slammed the front door.” Dean said.

“Nope, it wasn't me. I think it was the little girl. She’s out of the painting. I think it might have been her all along.” Sam said. You knew it wasn’t the dad.

“Damn, Y/N, we need to start listening to you from now on.” Dean commented.

“Sam, I think the dad was trying to warn everyone before the girl could kill. He was looking down on her, right?” You said, looking at Dean.

“Hey, let's recap later all right? Just get us out of here.” Sam said. You got on your knees and took out your lock picking kit and tried the lock.

“I can’t pick the lock, Sam. The door won’t budge.” You said loudly so he could hear you.

“Knock it down.”

“Oh, yeah, I thought I saw a battering ram in the car earlier. Let me go grab that.” You said sarcastically, standing up.

“Guys, the damn thing is coming.” Sam growled.

“Well, you're just going to have to hold it off until we figure something out. Get some salt or iron.” Dean said, moving around the porch, trying to find a way in. He tried banging on the windows but nothing was working. You tried to find some other type of way in but you didn’t have any luck.

You didn’t hear anything from Sam when you met up with Dean again and you were getting worried.

“Sammy, you okay?” Dean asked.

“Yeah, for now.” Sam said a moment later.

“Okay, how are we going to kill her?” You asked, thinking.

“I don't know, she was already cremated. There's nothing left to burn.” Sam said.

“Then how is she still around?” Dean asked. You had a lot more questions than answers at this point. You heard Sarah speaking but only heard her voice. She was too far away from the phone for you to understand her.

“Dean, Sarah said the doll might have the kid's real hair. That is human remains which is the same as bones.” Sam said.

“The Mausoleum! Okay, Sam, hold her off and we’ll finish this as soon as we can!” Dean hung up and you raced to the car, jumping in. Dean stepped on the gas and raced to the graveyard, making it in record time.

Dean jumped out of the car and raced inside and you followed, a gun in your hand. You didn’t know what you might need. Dean tried breaking the glass with his hand but nothing was working. He turned to you for an idea when you handed him the gun. He smirked and tried breaking the glass with the butt of the gun.

“Dean, use the gun on it.” You said. It would have been much easier. He sighed at himself for being dumb and shielded his eyes. You did the same and Dean shot the glass, breaking it off to grab the doll inside. Dean grabbed his lighter and tried to light it but the damn thing refused to light. After the third try, he got it to light and immediately the hair was doused in flames. He dropped the doll and you watched it burn.

Dean pulled out his phone and called his brother, making sure he was okay.

“Sam, you good?” You didn’t hear his response but judging the relief on Dean’s face, you would say he was okay.

You, Sam and Sarah were leaning on a wall outside of the auction house, watching some workers board the painting up. You three weren’t alone long because Dean approached, holding some papers.

“This was archived in the county records. The Merchant's adopted daughter Melanie. You want to know why she was up for adoption? Because her real family was murdered in their beds. Apparently, she murdered them. I mean, who would blame a sweet little girl? So, then she kills Isaiah and his family. The old man takes the blame. His spirit's been trying to warn people ever since.” Dean sighed.

“So, where does this one go, Ms. Blake?” One of the workers said.

“Take it out back and burn it.” She said, dead serious. Everyone looked at her but you agreed. That thing needed to go.

“I'm serious guys. Thanks.” She gave them a tight smile and they followed orders. They walked off to the back to do their thing.

“I’m just glad this whole thing is over. I never liked Upstate New York.” You said.

“I guess this means you're leaving.” Sarah said sadly, looking at Sam. The air started to thicken up with awkwardness and you looked between Sam and Sarah, nodding.

“Okay then, Dean, why don’t we wait by the car.” You smiled to Sarah, putting a hand on Dean’s shoulder. Dean’s shoulders slumped but followed your instruction anyways.

“I'm the one that burned the doll and destroyed the spirit, but don't thank me or anything.” Dean grumbled as you walked with him.

“Mmm, I’ll thank you.” You said seductively, leaning up to his ear and nibbling on it. He growled and pushed you against the car, kissing you. You pulled away and looked into his eyes that sparkled with love. You turned around and leaned into his body, your back to his front and he wrapped his arms around your shoulders. You held onto his strong arms, watching Sam and Sarah say goodbye.

Sarah closed the door of the auction house while Sam was outside. You guess Sam never made a move. You knew he wanted to and he should. You smiled widely when Sam walked back to the door and knocked. The door opened to reveal a smiling Sarah and she leaned up just as Sam leaned down and their lips met.

“That’s my boy.” Dean muttered with a smile. Sam deserved to be happy and in that moment, you knew he was.

VanCon 2017, my second convention is under my belt. Now that I’ve finished my finals for school, I can fully recap the events of the weekend and appreciate them completely. If there are any typos, I apologize now. My brain hurts from taking said finals. Hah.. oh, and uh. I haven’t entered in those fancy ass cues to seperate paragraphs since I was on Live Journal… like 15 years ago. So.. sorry for the continuous paragraph. 😂 The weekend began with this sweet gal (@winchestersnco) arriving at my door step. This woman was my right hand woman and savior this weekend. She was so incredibly helpful, patient, and loving when it came to my two month old daughter.. who’s name happens to be Amara. **Long backstory short.. my bf and I loved the name and the uniqueness. The fact it’s a character from our favorite only had a small part it.. as is the fact she was created at VanCon 2016…. #porncouver 😂** The drive to Vancouver started out great. Amara slept for the first third of the drive. And then hated us the rest of the drive. Though it was rather exhausting, me feeding her in her carseat is a memory neither Erin or I will forget, I’m sure. Needless to say, Amara had worn herself out so much, she only woke to eat and slept nine hours that night. Friday! The show started later than I remember it starting last year. The energy was also different. Maybe I got spoiled with Kim and Brianna. Rich is a neat dude and all, but those girls really set the bar high. Lol. The panels were fun. The first and only time Amara made a sound during a panel was during Samantha Smith’s. Of course I get called out and stand up to show her I actually have a baby. Jason Manns was added to the guest list at the last minute and I was so thrilled! Amara slept so soundly through his panel; she loves her music! Our autographs for the day included Sam Smith, Emily Swallow, and Brianna Buckmaster. Sam was apparently upset I didn’t actually walk Amara up to her during her panel. Lol, oops. She was in awe by the eye contact my tiny can make. She said “You are not new”. She said Amara is “an old soul”. A mother generally thinks their kid is the best, but hearing how alert and aware your two month old actually is, kinda makes your heart swell. 😍 Emily… ah, how do I put this nicely?.. I’m not a fan. She’s a bit… snatchy. Guess I can’t put that nicely. For those who don’t know, Emily plays the character, Amara on SPN. Coming into this auto, I thought even if this lady thinks I’m a total dweeb and I named my daughter after a SPN character because I’m incredibly obsessed, she would pretend to be amused. Nope. She was so blandly like, “Oh… cooool”. And then proceeded to take this stuffed doll someone made her and wave it in front of her face. I was hardly impressed. Brianna is probably one of my favorite human beings. I walk up and immediately she says “I kinda wanna hold that baby”. I told her she could, but she insisted on keeping the baby comfy. She was pretty entertained by the origin of her name; she said the last reason was the best reason. I just want to be her bff. She’s pretty damn rad. Karaoke…. well. We showed up late so all the guests were already tossed. ESPECIALLY my favorite person if the day. You guessed it. Emily Swallow. One of my roomies of the weekend stayed with me for a bit; Amara slept the whole time. It was the freakin’ Emily Swallow show. She sang over EVERYONE that sang a song. And by sang, I mean yelled with a vibrato. Not. Impressed. Saturday!! I really wanted to watch the first panel, but sleep took over and I slept too late. I love sleep, so I wasn’t to hard on myself. Hah. Mark Sheppard’s panel was entertaining, as usual. He’s so sassy. I attempted to ask him what activities he likes to do with his kids, now that he has some free time. Before I even asked my question, he looked at Amara and said, “That’s not my baby”. Hahaha. After me asking my question and him not answering, I tried to repeat my question and he called me bossy and continued to avoid my question. 😂 there’s a video or two of the ordeal running around out there that I need to acquire. I was pretty bummed he didn’t walked around the audience like he usually does. Idk who did what to him to make him pissed off, but they should be slapped. Misha Collins’ panel was absurd. I laughed so much, I can’t remember too many specifics. The moment I’ll never forget; however, is him asking how to sign “take a dump” in American Sign Language. I died. Matt Cohen, Rob Benedict, and Richard Speight Jr had the last panel. Amara had started to get a little wiggly, so I was in and out for that one. Rachel Miner’s panel… I am too hormonal for that shit. The guys carried her out to the stage and the audience gave her a standing ovation. I wept. She is one inspiration gal. We had a photo op with Brianna and autos with Matt and Mark that day. Our photo with Briana was all thanks to Erin.. Seriously. This girl is the effing best. I can’t brag enough about her. Anyway, back to Briana. When we walked up, I said to her, “You can hold this baby now!”. She did not argue one bit. Chris about died when he say her homemade ‘Wayward AF’ bandana-turned-bandaeu. Mark signed a book my friend gave to Amara, “If I Were a Moose”. Mark’s response? “If I were a moose, I’d kill myself”. Lol. Jesus Christ, Mark. 😂 Matt was cute and sweet as always. Nothing particularly memorable was said. But I do want you all to know that man is getting some of those silver highlights in his hair… Hey. Girl. Hey. Rachel was just as sweet as she was in her panel. She’s is a fighter. I could only hope to be the bad ass this woman is! I had the chance to chat with Jason Manns for a minute. He picked out which album of his Amara would like best. He was so sweet, and I’m so glad he was there. Louden Swain performed a couple acoustic songs in the lobby before signing autos for those that bought some merch. They had they’re SNS album available, so obvioisly I purchased it. Lol they too, were so nice. The talent these men posses is unreal. SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL. What’s there to say, that hasn’t already been said. The SNS never disappoints. Louden Swain is PHENOMENAL. Emily was annoying and Brianna nailed it. Oh yeah. And Jensen made an appearance and knocked everyone’s socks off.. or should I say panties? 😉 Fucking SUNDAY, BITCHES. J2 day. This is the day that everyone is anxiously awaiting. The panel was obviously hilarious and fun. These boys NEVER disappoint. There were too many funny moments to explain, but my fav? The endless butt jokes. YouTube the panel if you wanna get in on the jokes. Amara and I had a photo with Jensen and then I have one by myself with Jensen. As soon as I walk up to him and he sees Amara, his mouth drops. I asked, “Would you mind holding her for a photo?” He obviously did not object. Who can resist a tiny baby in a shirt that says ‘World’s cutest Supernatural fan" and a little black tutu with a SPN themed bow on the front of it?? Chris died, once again, after coming on close to check out her outfit. Bless that man! He took three quick shots and printed each of them for me to ensure we got a good one. And then I hand the tiny off and tell Jensen I have one with just myself and he proceeds to give me the best hug, Chris takes the pic, and Jensen gives me a tight squeeze. I tell him thank you, and he says something along the lines of “Congrats, mom”….. and I died. Hahaha. When I go to grab Amara, the head dudes in charge are fawning over her. I’d say her outfit was a success. Coming down the escalator, Gil McKinney came over to take to Amara. This man had been eyeballin’ her all weekend. It was pretty cute and sweet how he approached us. Jason also came over to see her Sunday outfit. I’m telling you, these guys are rad AF. Our autos were at the end of the day, and Amara was getting tired. Thankfully she stayed awake long enough for the two boys to see her. We get up to Jensen and he’s still all about her. He asks her name, and I tell him and the story to go with it. You can tell he’s kinda listening. For comedic value, I decided to say to him, “she’s out souvenir from last year” and the look on his face was priceless. It took a split second for him to register it, but once he did, he chuckled a bit. I thought Jerad was going to steal her. As soon as I walked up, he said “Look at the knees! And those thighs!” He was amazed by how strong she is and couldn’t believe she was only two months old. Now.. this is suppose to be the time I say, “That was that and we went home”……. But no. It. Gets. Better. So Erin and I had stood in line with our weekend roomies. They were toward the end, with maybe a dozen people behind them. Once they went behind the curtain, and Amara was sound asleep in her shoulder, she began walking back to our seats. I told her to slow her roll. I’m thinking, maybe if we linger long enough and stealth enough, some magic will happen…. AND DID IT EVER. Jensen comes out and waves to everyone, waves at Erin and I.. but does a double take when he sees this sleeping ball of chunk on Erin’s shoulder… he then RUNS OVER TO AMARA, PINCHES AT HER SWEET CHUBBY CHEEKS.. AND THEN.. GIVES HER A KISS ON HER CHEEK. JENSEN KISSED MY BABY. I vowed to never wash her again; however she had gotten herself so worked up on the ride home, she projectile vomited ALL OVER ME. It was a wonderful weekend, not too hectic, filled with such wonderful memories that I can’t wait to share with Amara when she’s older. 99% (lol) of the guests were so sweet and supportive of me bringing my tiny. The fans all loved her. I only had a few people harass me about ear protection, of which I brought, one lady get salty about being next to a baby before she had a chance to show her what an angel of a baby she is, and one person suggest I breastfeed in the bathroom after I asked where would he a good spot to sit and feed her. Other than that, everyone was great, I had a great time, and I miss all my ladies!

Monthly Media: April 2017

I’m going to attempt to write a little something about the media I consume every month, as I’m a big media fan and I want to think about my media choices yaknow? Inspired by @kolbisneat​, who may have been inspired by someone else, or just by media and by months and is a genius.

Was thinking of making pre-made categories for myself, but nah, keep it flexible. All media worth remarking upon shall be upon remarked. Let the remarking beginneth Gwyneth!

MOVIES

This one is easy to keep track of thanks to the v handy and fun and underused app Letterboxd.

Free Fire (2017)

Went to see this for my 23rd birthday with m’wife, m’bro, and m’sis. Planned to see Logan but for some reason that idea got sidelined and we went to see this mysterious film by the equally mysterious Ben Wheatley (High what? High Rise? Not seen it). I enjoyed it mainly for the premise and the restrictions put upon the film, forcing the dialogue and the adult slapstick humour to shine. The acting was solid, Arnie Hammer is a handsome sasquatch, Irish accents are always funny, and the violence was enjoyable due to the comedy sprinkled on top. Felt bad for my squeamish and also pregnant sister but even she enjoyed it thanks to the great writing. Also South African guy from District 9 (Sharlto Copley - not a memorable name I’m afraid) was just killer.

Verdict: ★★★★

  Shutter Island (2010)

Watched this before, so was watching this in the context of knowing THE SPOILER!!! I overestimated how much I knew though as was still slapped by some surprises. Big fan of Leonardo Capri-Sun. Also, I can’t beLIEVE how similar Shutter Island is to Inception. Totally different stories, but the themes (dreams & crazy women love interests) and the dream/flashback visual style is soooo similar! All the more heightened by Leonardo Da Carpet Bomb, but yeah. Shutter Island came out a few months before Inception as well. There you go.

Verdict: ★★★★

 Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Same old Marvel shtick; enjoyable but a bit tired. However with the new and improved Marvel Cinematic Universe i.e. Paul Rudd, this was more enjoyable than others. Also Black Panther is gnarrrrrly. And Spiderman is likeable thus far. Captain America kinda sucks butts though and so do his army pals. Scarlet Johannson is about as useless as a silent fart. Paul Rudd tho.

Verdict: ★★★

 Ex Machina (2014)

Wanted to watch this movie for ages. It did not disappoint. Sparking questions off in my head about A.I. (Artificial Intelligence, duh!!!), robots, creepy robot sex, and Oscar Isaac’s acting abilities (”great, or really great?”). Beautiful set/prop/character(?) design of the machines and the building. Loved the use of red light. Good dancing. Domhnall’s character is a little bit insufferable but hey. You can’t Domhn 'em all. (German poster to avoid creepy robo-booty)

Verdict: ★★★★

 Guardians of The Galaxy: Vol. 2 (2017)

Really enjoyed. Marvel are just blowing it out the water with SFX these days. Can feel myself smiling like a child in some scenes. I'd say this one is as good if not better than the first, if you are in a good mood that lets you pass over any slightly tacky or desperate or pandering bits. I feel it doesn't try to be something it's not, so it works well. Like, it knows that the plot structure isn't groundbreaking, so it dives into the great fight scenes and 46 minutes of slow-motion accompanied with retro bangers.

★★★½

GAMES

Battlefield 4 - PS4 (2013)

This was on sale on the ol’ PlayStation Store, so I bought it and only played the campaign. BUT OH BOY! That campaign was great! Voice acting was tight, and the storytelling. I got right into it. Call of Duty campaigns pale in comparison. Gimme Michael K. Williams swearing at me any day.

TV

Catastrophe: Season 3 (2017)

This show is just great. I initially started watching it on my own, but I intentionally saved it for watching with Beth (m’wife) because it is just brutally honest and sometimes honestly gross about relationships, and now that I’m living with a woman-child I can relate to a lot more of the observations. Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan have great chemistry, and both obviously love saying things that you shouldn’t. Season 3 continues to be great, maybe not as good as 1 & 2 but at only 6 20-minute episodes a season you are always wanting more so you don’t notice. The Scottish characters are just class too. An absolutely newfound absolute appreciation for Mark Bonnar and Ashley Jensen.

Rick & Morty: Season 1 (2013)

They hype on this one was strong. Almost intimidatingly strong, which is why I stayed away from it for a while. It was however appropriate, as this show is great. Absurd sci-fi possibilities of Futurama, mixed with grossness of South Park, and the joke-packed writing of Community. With a little bit of the existentialism of Bojack Horseman. A beautiful concoction. I’m not at full-on nerd stage with appreciating the quotes yet though. Like if someone quotes Rick & Morty at me I’m still like “Ah.”

READING

Draplin Design Co.: Pretty Much Everything (2016)

As a man of great talent, hype and stature, Aaron Draplin has been on my radar for a while now. Always been a fan of his no-nonsense, anti-cynicism approach to design, without being a fluffy Christian craft-mom. His book was awesome, in enjoyability and also density. Way more text than I anticipated, but thanks to his conversational writing style they were easy pickins. Gave me a whole new appreciation for Field Notes, so I bought some and they are dank.

Printed Pages - Spring/Summer 2017

In almost a flurry of print-based bargain-hunting excitement, I preordered this issue of It’s Nice That’s magazine, as it came with stickers, postcards, a lovely poster from @timlahan, and an equally lovely screen-print from James Jarvis. I didn’t realise how much thought is put into making it an absolutely beaut publication. Not read it all yet, but it’s a delight to flick through.

Private Eye - Various Issues

I dunno if I’d include this kind of reading usually but I’ve been buying Private Eye for the past couple of months, just for the cartoons. Initially I was also trying to read the dense articles, but I can’t do it. I’m not going to lie to myself anymore, they are just too dense for what they’re worth. We shall see if I keep up the purchasing. 

PODCASTS

The Adam Buxton Podcast

Been listening to Adam Buxton for a while now, which got me onto his Adam & Joe back catalogue from their BBC 6 Music days (would highly recommend, available on iTunes and I think the BBC website). He took a few months off over Christmas, and is now BACK and BETTER THAN EVER. I love his rambling nature of hosting a podcast, and his jingles are top dollar. I’m also a huge fan of how often he talks about how badly he handles confrontation. And also his calming, polite little man voice. The Brian Eno episodes are banger.

Congratulations with Chris D’Elia

Initially I was sceptical, as I wasn’t a fan of his first stand-up special, only his online presence and his presence in vintage Ten Minute Podcast episodes. Turns out his podcast is tight, and makes me laugh out loud in public. Some of the opinions are a bit bro-ish, but issa joke so the slack is cut. Who knew hearing someone hate on things would put you in a good mood. Who knew.

MUSIC

Gold - ABBA (2014)

Got a new found appreciation for the Swedish powerhouse this month. Just so, so good. No music can lift your spirits as quickly and easily I don’t think. Nuh-uh.

Damn - Kendrick Lamar (2017)

I couldn’t get away with being an under-45 human on this earth without listening to this. It is great though. Although I’m not a listen-through-300-times-until-I-know-all-the-words-kinda-guy, but I did enjoy a couple listen throughs. Kendrick is a complex beast.

OTHER

Hot Ones - YouTube

Hot ones is really enjoyable. Originally thought the host was a dweeb for some reason but he’s good. Action Bronson episode, Danny Brown episode, and H3H3 episode are favourites.

I think that’s me. That was extensive. I highly doubt I will keep this level of chat up, which is probably a good thing for me and the 3 people who didn’t even get through ‘Movies’. 

All suggestions of media to consume are appreciated. More bite-size = more likely it shall be consumed.
