#i blame cockles

[ziigee]

It's been a while since i have socialised. For the past 2 weeks, my mind, body and soul has been possessed by Destiel/ Cockles. I have a Christmas dinner to attend to, not family, but old colleagues, literally old dudes. There's no avoiding it.

The problem is I have nothing else on my mind besides cockles (exactly what I wanted, for now). Taking a break from life.

I live and breathe cockles.

Silly, cute, obnoxious, stupid, embarrassing, filthy, messy, cockles images, boom boom boom

That reminds me, change my phone wallpapers.....

Whisky. Lots of it.

Did i miss anything?

oh my god i just had the most evil idea!!!! What if Bruce faked his own death. It was all a part of his grand plan to get his hands on the court of the owls!!! They think he is dead and hence no treat while he can attack them when they expect it least!! Bruce oc didn't tell anyone about what he was gonna do, not even Harvey. But then the court starts dosing up Harvey with the toxins and making him believe he was the one who killed Bruce so Bruce has to come out of hiding because Harvey is about to kill himself the same way Bruce did - jumping off the Wayne tower and he is going to do it because he can see Bruce, clearly another hallucination. Bruce is dead, Harvey killed him, that's why he's gotta end this now. Tears are streaming down his cheeks but then Bruce is there and he is holding Harvey's face in his hands and saying "Look at me Harv. You are okay. It's gonna be okay' and all Harvey can say is 'You are dead. I killed you'. His sobs get stronger. 'Shhh, no you didn't. I am here, Harv. I faked my death. It was all part of a plan. I am so sorry, I should have told you." and he hugs Harvey and Harvey just clings to him his face tucked between Bruce's shoulder and ear as they rock together.

you know, i do love that we have all decided and accepted that men in woods is about jensen. like, imo there isn't another poem that fits jensen more, and there is no way jensen wouldn't be included in his book of poetry. ergo-

[jenanigans1207]

The real reason Jensen Ackles doesn’t want an on screen destiel kiss is because he knows that one kiss with Misha wouldn’t be enough. It would simply be opening a door, a gateway, if you will.

The Curious Case of Misha and the Salad Dressing

i cracked the code 🙊 people — i think.

(mature content minors dni)

so see how misha said he had to wear jensen’s shirt because he poured salad dressing on his shirt but it was later discovered that he doesn’t eat dressing salad? well, i know we all speculate that salad dressing was code for c*m and i think that was the intention because if jensen was tossing misha’s salad or misha was tossing jensen’s wouldn’t salad dressing read c*m be a key ingredient involved in the process?

for those who may not know what “tossing the salad” means

things that keep me awake at night.

LOL kkkkkkkk Finally seeing the gifset of this and it is SOOOO funny!!! Like, Oh Jensen... What WAS the "line" you were going there? Like "his ferret goes other places"? XD No wonder he lost track of the conversation there, who WOULDN'T? Thinking about Misha's ferret does that! lol XD Sorry, couldn't help myself there!!! But hey, blame, Jensen for that!!! kkkk Thank you SO SOOO MUCH for sharing this with us!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!! :) <3

his ferret goes other places.

So i went to color my hair yesterday. 2 guys handling my hair and all I could think was if only they would kiss, hold hands..and do the nasty👀

Destiel/ Cockles have forever changed me!

Damn you, lovesick Angels 💙💚

Every scenario with two random dudes is angst love and heart eyes, if you just try 😜

"Epic fantasy has responded poorly to too much oversight from above. I think that was The Witcher’s problem. You had that visionary: It was Henry Cavill. And they didn’t want to listen to him. So, well, there you go." — Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, anyway, just a friendly reminder that Henry Cavill massively over-exaggerated how much of a fan he was of the franchise and how much he knew about it as he hadn't even read the books when he first sought out the role because he thought that the books were based off the games (and for some reason despite proclaiming himself to be such a lorebuff, he ~curiously never bothered to check them out; he can't have ever googled or wiki'd the series, either, despite finding out that Netflix was making the show from the internet, because if he had, then surely he would've learned that the games were actually based on the books and would've read them; and somehow he also ~curiously never noticed that the first thing credited in the games is Sapkowski and the books.) He only read the books after Lauren told him about them and even then, he only read the series once right before he was cast in 2018. He also only ever really played the third game and even then, he never played the DLC for it.

By his own admission, he also didn't actually do any research or preparation for the role because, as established above, he hadn't read the books when he first sought out the role, he only read the series once after Lauren told him about the books, and he's really only played the third game.

"I asked my agent to put me on the spot and wanted to meet Lauren as soon as possible. I didn’t even need to prepare specially for the role. Because I breathe, I experience this universe every day. I’ve already had many opportunities to think about this character when I was playing the game. My preparation was already done before the casting even began!"

Henry Cavill was also directly responsible for a lot of the show's deviations from the books, or he at least had a hand in them, and the idea the he was such an advocate for the source material is actually just a massive pr campaign he ran against Lauren, the writers, and the show to deflect from his own responsibility for those changes and because he was mad about how he was co-lead with two women and the general prominence of women on the show.

He fucked up Geralt's characterization in S1 and made it inaccurate to the books by cutting his lines and either saying nothing or just grunting instead — often leaving his scene partners in the position of not knowing what was going on and if he was going to say his lines and even having to take his lines just in order to move the plot along. (Half of Geralt's dialogue was cut in the S1 finale, btw.)

"Henry tends to cut his lines, say less, which means I have to say more. So I had to improvise quite often." — Joey

Then in the press for S2, Henry Cavill started heavily pushing the narrative about how important adhering to the source material is to him and how much he advocated for a more book accurate, verbose Geralt — and not only did he virtually never take any responsibility for how it was due to his acting choices that happened in the first place, but he also lied about the whole thing and tried to act like Geralt was never originally written as being verbose and blamed Geralt's lack of dialogue on Yennefer and Cir's prominence — which can't be true as confirmed by Lauren. (Yennefer and Ciri's scenes were actually the ones cut in S1, btw.)

He tried to act like he was inspired by Doug Cockle's performance to make up for the lack of Geralt's dialogue — which can't be true because he only decided to use his "Geralt" voice in January 2019 but filming for the show started late October/early November 2018 and meanwhile he started cutting Geralt's lines from the pilot episode.

And he tried to act like the lines he was cutting weren't even really that important anyway so it didn't really matter that he was cutting them — which can't be true as confirmed by Joey.

Whenever Henry Cavill went on about how important adhering to the source material is to him in the press for S2 as if Lauren's vision of the show was somehow contradictory to that and the books, he was actually just mad about the prominence of women on the show. (Ciri is the main character of the main book series, btw, and women move the plot forward in the books in massive ways and are absolutely integral to the story.)

(In the press for S2, he also went on about how important men being three dimensional characters is to him as if women being three dimensional characters on the show somehow came at the expense of the male characters.) (Also, here's a quote from him during the press for S2: "I believe that real men are very sensitive. They are very capable of doing things which can be violent, if possible, or necessary. But at the same time, they are incredibly capable of love and caring amongst men and towards children and family and all sorts." Weird that he doesn't specifically list women as people that real sensitive, violent men can be loving and caring towards and reduces them to just being part of "all sorts." 🤔)

Henry Cavill also fucked up Geralt and Jaskier's friendship — beyond, y'know, just cutting Geralt's dialogue in scenes with Jaskier. (Imo given everything he's said, I think it's likely a lot of the dialogue he was cutting in their scenes was any, all, or most affirmation on Geralt's side of things that he cares about Jaskier and that they're friends and, in general, just any positivity toward Jaskier and their friendship .)

"In the books, they are very, very close friends. That is so obvious. They speak to each other fondly. The opportunity is different in this story because Jaskier turns up and he’s not an immediate player straight away. We sort of had to show that essence of Geralt and Joey playing the complete opposite, which creates a wonderful dynamic. If I were to play it more directly like the books, it wouldn’t quite have the same sense of two fated friends. They’d just be like, “Hey, buddy!” Instead, Geralt cares deeply for Jaskier, whether he wants to admit it or not."

He cut a sex scene between Geralt and Yennefer in S2 because he didn't understand Geralt and Yennefer's characters and their relationship dynamic as it absolutely would've been in character of them to have sex after reuniting.

"We wanted it to be emotional rather than sexual. It was really, really important and we had to lean away from what was originally on the page. […] That's not how they behave. How they behave is they just want to be with the person and emotionally recognize their existence again in that shared space."

He nixed even the idea of Geralt and Triss just platonically finding comfort with each other — which is what happens in the books.

"The thing that was important to me, which we took directly from the books, is that Triss asks Geralt to spend the night with her and, in the books, he actually says yes once she says just basically lay with me, nothing is going to happen. Henry felt very, very strongly that when we were playing this scene he still believed that his one true love, Yennefer of Vengerberg, was dead. He was still mourning her. So he didn't actually want to go that extra step and have them have any intimacy whatsoever." — Lauren

He didn't want to play Geralt struggling with fatherhood in any way in S2 nor with any character flaws and only positive character traits (because he was overcompensating for how he fucked up Geralt's characterization in S1 and was embarrassed that redditors were dunking on him for it and that even the show was completely harmlessly making fun of Geralt's "grumpy snowman" characterization) — all of which resulted in the domino effect of Yennefer's betrayal, Eskel's death (which in itself led to Vesemir trying to create new witchers and Lambert's harsher attitude toward Ciri), and Voleth Meir being the big bad of the season.

So yeah, anyway, a friendly reminder that the conspiracy theory that Henry Cavill ragequit the show because he just cares about the source material oh so much and he's the only one in the cast and crew to know anything about it and he's the only reason why the show followed the books in any way whatsoever is, actually, just a conspiracy theory based off nothing more than Henry Cavill saying that he cares about the source material while all of his actions and everything else he's said, as established above, proves otherwise. 👍

2025 SPN Con Predctions

(“Borrowed" from Twitter)

This Twitter post (x) made predictions about what they think will happen in the upcoming SPN Con Season, and I have thoughts. This person is totally allowed to post and predict whatever they want, but as I am coming at things from a different fan perspective, I can’t help but adapt their list to make my own predictions.

My Adapted Predictions:

Jared says anything, especially canon compliant (and Jensen agrees), and haters try to make it controversial, and try to get him, and only him, cancelled.

“JenMish” end up sharing a stage, where they stand 6ft away from each other, Jensen throws jabs at Misha and Misha agressivemy hugs an unpiressed Jensen … and cockles shippers call it "gay shit"

I completely agree about the cruise prediction … if it happens, it will not have J2.

Controversy about headcanons … mostly due to some people claiming things are canon when they clearly aren’t. "Headcanons" are totally fine as long as people don’t call them canon.

A certain SPN actor will continue to out himself as a creep every time he steps on stage at a con, but his fans will defend him to the death because "it’s just a joke."

People probably will continue to be mysogenistic about J2's partners, as in they like then or don’t just because who who they are married to …. People will also mistakenly my call it "misogyny" if anyone dares to criticize a woman based on her own character.

I hope Jensen continues only tweeting the occasionally work-related tweet because AAs and hellers are creeps, and I don’t blame him for avoiding them.

I’d say there is a good chance of an airplane selfie … maybe I’ll even see one on a flight, as our locations might overlap for one con … but I’d like to think I wouldn’t bug them for a selfie.

Mark P is barely ever at CE cons anyway. And I don't care either way what happens with him.

Misha will continue to purposely sexualizes Jensen and shit on Jared to pander to his shipper fans … and others will rightfully call him out about it.

I would enjoy seeing a JA, JP or J2 selfie. We’ll see.

I too think Soldier Boy is attractive … but I hope his character really lets lose on the final season of The Boys.

My Additional Predictions:

A jerk fan will pay $200-400+ just to disrespect Jared in an photo op

Someone will ask Jensen yet an other reworded "confession scene" question in hopes that his answer of Dean seeing Cas as a brother in arms will finally change … but it will not.

A heller will make up a lie about seeing JA and MC do something intimate together during photo ops or autos.

J2 will have a scene together in The Boys, and fans will have them act it out in Ops. Bonus: J2 will act it out on stage. (This might happen next year.)

J2 will go for Pretend Kiss #3, or something equally "normal" and silly

More people will get forehead touch photo ops, and more AAs will cry about how it traumatizes both Jensen and themselves, even though J2 have chosen this pose unprompted.

J2 will act out Jensen stabbing Jared in the leg again on stage.

Jared and/or Jensen will highlight how SPN was about the brothers, particularly around the 20th anniversary date … and some "fans" will scream "Whst about Cas/Misha?"

My Totally Selfidh Predictions:

JA will bring his Baby to Boston

Boston will have some special feature being the first CE con of the 20th anniversary year.

Vancouver will have something special since it’s where they filmed the show and only a dozen days off of the exact 20th anniversary of airing.

My photo ops with the boys will turn out well 🤞

I’ll be able to make both planned cons work

Does anyone else have any 2025 SPN Convention Season predictions?

[rennerator]

They are SO CUTE! S2 LOVE LOVE LOVE I LOVE THEM SOO SOOO MUCH!!! I don't know, I feel like Misha has said and done many "Misha-things" during that con, be it on his solo panel or there at the JenMish panel! Like, Misha is always being SOO chaotic and LOVELY and caring and funny be it on his normal solo panels or the JenMish panels! Also, I don't blame Misha for forgetting episodes titles! If I am not mistaken, just recently, both Jared and Jensen also forgot the names of some of the episodes, and, again, I don't blame them, there are SOOO MANY! XD And, I, too, don't remember MANY episodes titles! kkkk So, yeah, I think it is just a normal thing! Thank You!!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH for sharing this with us!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!! :) <3

honestly that's the most Misha thing I've heard this con

[blanketforcas]

Here’s my cockles story. So I came into the fandom very late, so right before season 15 aired. I didn’t go find out anything about the show or look up the actors so I legit knew nothing about this show (mostly cause I didn’t want any spoilers and there was 14 years of canon out there and I wanted it to be a surprise). And then binged the first 5 season in like 2 weeks it was insane. After that Cas and Dean quickly became my favorite and I started shipping them but again I had no idea what destiel was (at least fandom wise). Around December I followed them on insta and it just so happened that 2 days later Jensen posted their anniversary picture so I legit thought they were married in real life until I did some further research. But for a while I genuinely thought he and misha were married in real life and that’s why Dean and Cas had so much chemistry. So there’s my story

LOL oh nonnie. laughing so much about the fact that one of the first things you saw was the anniversary pic asdkjfd no wonder you thought they were married. who can blame you! also you weren't wrong

[certain-blue-eyes]

So...

I changed the home screen of my watch as well...

This is one of the pictures I'll never forget...

Bracelets: it's an Italian brand, actually ���

The blue one is because blue is my favorite color, and if this bracelet had a name, it would be 'blue means eternity and freedom'

The silver one is actually my con bracelet. One new element for each con visited by me. After Purcon6, JiB12 was my first con outside of Germany. Btw - did you see the 'green heart and the blue dots'? 🤗

Destiel ≠ Cockles

Shipping Destiel is ok, but Cockles is not. Here are my thoughts on this.

Ok I think it is important for someone to post this because I've seen a lot of posts shipping Misha and Jensen or 'Cockles' as they would call it. Let's be clear, I ship Destiel, aka Castiel and Dean NOT Misha and Jensen.

Here are some things which are NOT okay, and some of ya'll should stop doing.

Cockles is NOT Destiel. Destiel is the shipping of the characters Dean and Castiel played by Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins respectively. They are simply characters played by them, it DOES NOT mean that it attributes to their working relationship/friendship in real life.

It is extremely disrespectful to their families and super weird for the actors themselves and it may affect their friendship in real life due to excessive fan shipping where all of their actions or interactions are put under a microscope for everyone to assess.

2. Destiel is fictional. Destiel is fictional and based on their character's interactions on screen, Cockles on the other hand is REAL LIFE, It is NOT okay to ship actors in real life who have wives and families, and saying they have a "special bond" aside from their family. It is weird to them. Cheering them on at any physical contact on stage is weird, they are JUST friends, or just co-workers.

3. Showing fanart about Destiel. This might be an unpopular opinion, but showing inappropriate fanart of the two characters is still borderline awkward for the actors to see, such as them embracing naked or being overtly sexual is just extremely weird for them to see. Do not push it on their faces and make it out to be them being homophobic when they just don't want to see themselves or the character they play in an inappropriate manner.

Post your art on tumblr for others to see and appreciate but it is a little weird for the actors to see themselves in that manner.

Lastly, Don't go around making assumptions that Misha or Jensen are homophobic or hate Destiel just because they have a different opinion or don't talk about it. They don't owe you their support and can very well chose not to talk about this if it is something that has gotten them hate in the past.

These are characters they play, the storyline is written by someone else, not everything is in their control. Quit blaming them for not talking about it as we don't know what is going on behind the scenes. For all we know, they've been told not to talk about Destiel openly or are uncomfortable about giving their opinion on it as it may get twisted or even make the writers of the show look bad.

Joking about their friendship and having fun like they both did recently at Jibcon 11 is different from actively shipping them and wanting them to be together or that they are closeted and "in hiding".

Feel free to retweet or comment your thoughts on this.

Not to be deancoded on main, but this pie tastes so good
