i knew the spn fandom collectively sucked j*nsen a*kles dick but i never realized it was this bad like i've seen a million posts rapturously defending his acting during the cas confession scene and maybe 2 posts praising misha. these people need to put some respect on misha collins. 😠

hi friend. i’m not entirely sure you’re in the right place for an ask like this, but um... well.. are you asking for my opinion? i know i’ve made a fuckton of destiel gifsets in the last couple weeks but i’m a newbie to this fandom, and not even a percentage of a percent of 0.00000001% invested in the ship or the show as i ever was in teen wolf BUT i have been watching on my own for many years and i do have an opinion about acting (idk if i’ve mentioned it but i started off in theater for undergrad and it’s all i ever really wanted to do tho i never did it....so it kinda mutated into nit picky criticism if u get my drift). ... . POINT BEING. okay. so ... i do enjoy both of their acting in a general way- jensen’s soapy teen drama past is clear but he’s rounded out dean so well over the years that it all fits seamlessly anyway cuz who can separate the two... and though it works 98% of the time, he is a bit predictable. watching almost 9 seasons in under a month does offer some perspective ngl (also i think ive probably seen more posts denigrating his acting than praising it, but i guess i follow different people than you...)....

but i feel like misha has developed differently as an actor and his style has changed in various ways over the years, but i never really sat back and took stock of it until that scene last week because like... i mean.... ugh. i don’t wanna upset you but. i didn’t like it. it kinda looked like they used the wrong eyedrops? it was hard for me to concentrate cuz i was a bit distracted by those giant puddles on his face at first. stripping down the monologue though, it kinda felt..well.. you know what actually? maybe it was just the bad writing. I’ve always enjoyed his acting. he does deserve praise. i just... yea. i was cringing a bit the whole time :/ we really really shouldn’t judge those acting choices though, because as we can see thanks to this ask- it’s all in the eye of the beholder. you thought he did an amazing job. i’m sure lots of other people do too. myself i’m straddling the middle opinion (if i watch it a few more times, which i will because i have yet to gif it, my opinion may- nay probably will- change), and yea i’ve also seen posts making fun of him or leaving out his well-earned kudos, but i try not to involve myself in that kinda drama anymore (esp since i’m not really in this fandom and only started blogging about the show recently because i wanted to gif it). in general i always enjoy both of their acting, and i agree they both deserve praise and respect for doing their best with the script they’re given. i think i just kinda wish the whole thing was presented better. like. there coulda been WAY better buildup withIN the episode. and the season. for it all to come down to this outburst? cas shoulda been on the literal verge for awhile. i know the majority of the fandom has seen it for a long time, but as an outsider and someone who hasn’t ever been in fandom or really ever shipped them (despite watching all 15 seasons multiple times over the years), it did seem carelessly written into the script. which is just unfair for both the actors and their characters.
