Jensen Ackles saw this early script draft and made the choice that Dean would NOT make Cas feel bad for hugging him after the angel thought him dead

In fact, he let Dean be fully embraced by Cas, let him melt into the hug with a soft smile. Dean got to proudly Introduce his angel to Mary without shame or embarrassment, and that’s beautiful

oh just thinking about the fact that jensen has the entire uncut confession recorded and has kept it for four years.

Not Jensen Derangement Syndrome Ackles singing first "Every Light Before Me" (which is the Dean Winchester refusing Heaven song) and keeping a handkerchief hidden in his back pocket all throughout this song only to pull it out at the end and say:

"I used to get asked all the time why I keep a bandana in my back pocket. Now you know why..."

Not Jacking Joices Ackles wiping his face for plausible deniability then saying:

"Let me slow it down for ya"

AND ESPECIALLY

Not Jensen Where's the Tapes Ackles following that up with the opening to "Watching Over Me" and changing the lyrics CHANGING THE FUCKIN LYRICS from

"Lay it on now that I can see"

into

"Lay it on now that YOU can see"

[mishaesque]

don’t you think it’s funny how they cast Jensen to be the mega handsome super macho dudebro yet you almost never hear people talking about wanting to fuck Dean it’s always about how he needs a hug and a warm meal and everyone wants him to marry a man

why is the holy fire scene in tmwwbk edited Like That? whenever the camera is on Sam or Bobby it's medium shots and they're in the background, their faces are kinda hidden by the shadows

but Dean's shots are perfectly illuminated close ups of his face so you get a perfect view of the hurt and betrayal and anger in it and the beauty of every millimetrical jacting joice

Ben Edlund, sir, let's talk.

I need a panel where Michael Sheen and Jensen Ackles discuss their acting choices with each other because no one does yearning longing borderline obscene up and down looks like they do and I need to be in their brains

[swordofsun]

Once again thinking about how Various and Sundry Villians showed us exactly what Dean looks like when he's in love and not hiding it and how it's a recreation of how he acted in Tombstone.

Have we considered that the success of supernatural largely rests on just how damn freaky and hot Jensen and Misha look covered in blood???

[suckdickfuckgod]

it makes me laugh out loud to think about how for a while, Jensen’s response to the Destiel Confession was:

“I know Dean wasn’t ever gay bc I never played him that way”

babygirl HUH????? bc SOOOO many jacting choices were so covertly queer coded, only somebody queer could make them!!!

[strawlessandbraless]

So often I find out that a cute little Dean quirk is just in fact Jensen

[pendragony]

“With Dean Winchester, Ackles uses every part of himself, anger, humor, tenderness, thought, sexuality, frustration – you name it – he’s a kaleidoscope – all filtered through this specific character – and not once does it seem like he’s pushing. Everything is at his fingertips, it’s all natural, it flows. This is what I mean when I connect him to the John Wayne-Gary Cooper brigade, with a little Cary Grant thrown in, a little Brigitte Bardot there for seasoning. Or Theda Bara. Ackles has a Vamp in him, which he was able to use - to often comedic but sometimes destabilizing fascinating effect - in the role. He vamped organically. He’d turn it into a joke, but that was only because he couldn’t help himself. He gravitated towards the Vamp. (This is connected to the Burlesque aspect of Dean Winchester: how he “plays” himself.)

“And just to make sure we don’t get too comfortable, the Vamp has some FEELINGS about other people NOTICING the Vamp-ness. He’s not sure he likes it. But maybe he likes it. He’s confused! Dean is not entirely in control of what he’s putting out there. He tries to maintain control. He fails. Repeatedly.

“Ackles never got sick of exploring this contradiction. He was able to show it as funny, but also as a trap, he was able to show how Dean used it, but then regretted using it. It’s amazing.”

have we talked yet about how 90% of what makes dean so fucking brain-rot inducing isn't even in who he is written to be, as a character, but rather in how this character was so powerful he literally possessed jensen ross ackles into doing a series of subtle jacting joices that gave dean a depth no CW network character should ever dream of having.

Dean's appeal isn't in jackles beautiful face or in the stories the writers gave him.

it's in the way his eyes are out of focus and he shakes his head when he says "and when dad got home... ". it's in the wink and the little smile he gives Cas when he says "I got laid". it's in how flustered he gets when aaron hits on him. it's in the way his shoulders tense the second John comes into frame after being all soft with Mary at the door. It's in his decision to pick up the trenchcoat from the floating water.

there's so much power in these little things Dean just does subconsciously. Dean is the only character I've ever seen who just is and as much of a wonderful actor as jensen is, I don't even think he is aware of it most of the time. and that's why it's so beautiful.

Dean just is. And Jensen just does the things Dean would do. But I just know he wasn't planning and practicing Dean's pose change when he saw John. He just did it. Because that's what Dean would do, subconsciously. But the key is in the fact that it's not intentional. It's not like he sat down with the writers and director of the episode to decide what was the best pose change for Dean in this moment. It's not planned or strategized like that. If it were, Dean would have been just another character. But he isn't. In several ways he feels real. Because Jensen isn't acting, he's just letting Dean live through him. And every thing he does adds another layer of meaning to his trauma and who he is.

Chuck: “You guys aren’t supposed to be here. You’re not in this story.”

Cas: “Yeah well, we’re making it up as we go.”

look at his face, this is the exact moment Dean falls in love with Cas

[thefableddestiel]

Has anyone ever asked Jensen why Dean reacted the way he did to getting hit on by Aaron? And if not, why??
