HELP FIND MY JOURNAL--REWARD FOR RETURN

On 1/30/23 I was on flight UA510 Newark>Orlando & left my journal in the seat pocket. Includes longhand writing inside, photos (including from SPN VanCon 2022--me w/Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins), editorial cartoons, tweet print-outs, washi tape decorations & is precious to me. My name & address are on inside front cover. I'll reward whoever returns it to me either with $100 to the returner or to their favorite charity (charity, not political cause). Please be kind enough to share this post as far and wide as you can. The notebook is a Cognitive Surplus softcover lined notebook, 6"x9", and looks like the above, with a ribbon glued into it as a bookmark.

THINGS JENSEN ROSS ACKLES SAID SINCE SUPERNATURAL ENDED (paraphrasing):

CROSSROADS 6:

The advice season 15 Dean would give season 4 Dean: appreciate Cas more. Because he'd prove to be the best friend and biggest ally.

JIB 11:

I hope we will get a chance to see that [Dean and Cas' reunion]. I think it would look like we all hope it would. There would be an embrace and then Dean would be like: Can we talk about that goodbye for a minute?

SPNVAN 2022:

I didn’t say anything - I didn’t give him anything. And what I had in my head was, I should have said "I love you too” and hugged him.

NASHVILLE 2023:

Dean's biggest regret was that he couldn't save Cas.

SPNVAN 2022. Jensen & Misha. I’m happy to be edited out, but please do not remove my crappy watermarks.

SPNVAN 2022 Jensen Ackles and Guests Main Panel

at 21 minutes Jensen talks about what he thought about the Castiel love confession scene and how Dean should have reacted.

It’s not Destiel, but beautiful anyway 

.....  and a perfect example of how we have this complicated concept of love and romantic love and how these two are separated, because of our complicated relationship with sex, religion, power and patriachalism

Fan Question: Have you and Jared ever gone driving in Baby around Austin because you miss playing Sam & Dean so much? [Jensen laughs]

Audience Member: Please say yes!

Jensen: [pointing and laughing] Please say yes. Um, uh, yes. But not because we missed playing Sam & Dean! Because we're children! And we wanted to go fast in a car that we spent so much time in and we thought it'd be great to do that. Right now I will say that both the Impalas, the hero, which #1, the one that I have, and then #3, which was the backup to #1 - #2 was the stunt one that got beat to crap. But #3 was the backup to whenever - whenever #1 wouldn't start. You gotta remember, these were just picture cars. These weren't like, y'know, car show type cars. I mean, there was a reason that door squeaked the way it did. Since they weren't high functioning automobiles. That being said? Now that Jared and I own both of those, both of those cars are currently in the same shop in Texas right now getting done to where we can put them in a car show. I will say though, I will say, leaving the squeak in the door though. And not touching the paint job. So every scratch, every dent, every nick, every paint chip that was on the car when it was onscreen will remain the same. We're just getting everything underneath it nice and reliable? And because we both live in Texas we're also putting in air conditioning - and a sound system. Because what they did when Jared and I were there is they stripped the car of anything that we could annoy the crew with. It used to have police lights on the [gestures] - gone. Because usually those were high beamed pointed directly into the camera lens and Brad was like [mimes looking into a camera], 'Ow!' They took the horn out, because that was always fun when somebody was right over the hood like adjusting a light to just be like hoooonk! They removed the horn, they removed the stereo system because we kept playing music. So they had to take a lot of stuff out of the Impala just so they could get through the day with us. 'Cause again, we're children. So I'm having to put all that stuff back in now. So they'll be street legal. But yes, I'm excited to get them back and then Jared and I can race them down South Congress Avenue. And get arrested. Thank you.

Delayed posting, but here it is in all it's (scanned) glory, my secret Cockles op for my wonderful Sunshine Shellers family.

I was scared that it would be lame, but I actually kinda love how it came out (even if I do have my tea-drinking pinky out).

I wanted to do something special for the wonderful community I have curated on Discord - my family within the SPN family - and this is the result.

(I kinda wish I'd done this one before my other cockles op, so that Misha didn't have his disappointed act to drop, but I digress).

If you want to join a group of unhinged, yet totally lovable, cockles-shippers for thirst-posting, meta discussion about all things spn and adjacent, and wonderful new friends, check out the pinned post on this blog.

Love always, Chloe 💖 (@the-rollerchloster)

just putting it out here, in case anyone needs to see this:

If you're hurt by what Jensen said about Dean's feelings for Cas, if it actually matters to you that Jensen, who's supposed to know Dean the best, doesn't see him as having romantic feelings for Cas, if you feel heartbroken for Cas' unrequited queer, romantic love...

you are valid.

you're not alone and I feel the same way, and I've teared up a few times since it happened. your feelings matter. our feelings matter.

feel free to @ or DM me to chat, I can offer some love and some virtual cookies.

[and yes, we do know that at the end of the day, Jensen's reading on Dean's feelings is only his and doesn't invalidate all of our headcanons and queer readings of our beloved Dean. Dean is ours as much as is his. doesn't change the fact that the whole thing sucks. ]

We all have a platform, right? Some are larger than others but everybody has a space to express themselves. Certainly social media has given that to everybody. It is up to the individual to respect it. If you don’t respect the platform and what it can do because it can be damaging and it can also be up lifting. It’s up to the individuals to choose what they’re gonna use that platform for. I am very precious with the fact that I get to stand on a stage and address you all. I don’t take that for granted and I wanna earn it. I don’t deserve this but I’m gonna try to earn it every time I get on stage and every time I get in front of a mic or every time I post something on Internet (…) It is a responsibility that a lot of people didn’t use to have and now we all have it. And It’s up to us to decide what we’re gonna do with that. Do we want to bring light to the world or do we wanna cast shadows? I choose to bring as much light as I possibly can and I will continue to do that.

Jensen: [talking about having been up late because of the make-up wrap party] This is usually where I would rely on my big tall friend? To handle most of the dialogue? 'Cause he's a Chatty Cathy from time to time? But I'm gonna have to do it today, so. Ugh, listen, I can't promise anything, alright, don't get your hopes up. I'll -

Audience Rando: You did just fine in Jersey!

Jensen: In Jersey? Oh, yeah, yeah when he missed Jersey. Yeah, yeah, it's about time for me to collect on him, I think I might just skip - I'm kidding! I'm not, I'm not. No, it is a pleasure to be here, he does send his love, speaking of Jared. He wished - he was really bummed when he called me on Friday. He was like, I think I was his first call, and he was like, "Bro, I got bad news." And I was like, "What now?" He's like, "I tested positive for COVID," and I'm like [big dramatic sigh], 'cause as you know we're working on set, we still - per studio protocol, which is really because of union protocol - we get tested three times a week. We get a PCR on Monday, an antigen on Wednesday, and an antigen on Friday. And even if I'm not working or Jared's not working? We still have to do it and submit our results into, you know, this thing. So yeah, he tested positive and was like, and I was like, "Well, how do you feel, do you feel -?" And he was like, "No, couldn't even take the garbage out this morning." [fans awww] And I was like, "Oh, bro. Well, okay, get some sleep, get some rest, and I got you." So yeah. Send him some love, he'll be fine. And let's take some questions, I'm only taking questions for me, not for Jared. [fans laugh] I'm kidding, I'll take Jared questions and I'll answer them from him! [points] Uh, yes, right here, you generally have a Jared question, let's do that!
