Uhhhh that last gif set from DCcon about the drinks question, Jared really is very good at defusing potentially awkward situations. Like he’s so good at playing off nervous/rude fans as well as softening some of Jensen’s (IMO well justified) impatience at some of the more repetitive or inane questions. And it’s all in an impromptu situation you can’t really prepare for, honestly J2 are such a gift. (As are your gifs by the way : )

Thank you! I missed this before. I assume you were talking about this:

It’s so funny because that is exactly what I was talking about earlier today. They are a perfect team. 

Ok wait wait :)

It’s killing me to wait though. lol. I want to do it so bad. It’s such a cute moment. I’m going to go ahead and do my favorite parts of the gold panel for now and hope we get some other main panel videos later. 

I think you misunderstood my ask or maybe I didn’t formulate it well. I’m 100% J2 fan, and only J2 fan to be honest so there’s absolutely no hate involved there. What I meant was that the entire panel felt weird because you could feel that last drama in the air. Jensen looked like he was truly affected by it and betrayed by fans. Maybe I just wrongly read his behavior towards Jared because you’re right, it was actually pointed towards the fans.

Oh. I’m so sorry then. Right before I read your ask, I was looking in the comments section on the gold panel YouTube video and I kept seeing that “Oh Jensen is so done with Jared” thing that is so popular among certain groups (minions and AA mostly). So maybe I was overly defensive but I just find it astonishing when people watch a bunch of these videos and think Jensen genuinely wishes Jared would shut up on stage. They do panels together because they WANT to do panels together. They used to have solos and after one of the early cons where Jensen’s fans were very rude to Jared (that’s the one where Jensen eventually came out on stage wearing a tshirt with Jared’s face on it), Creation put a notice in their program that said “Jared and Jensen have requested that all their panels be duo panels”. Jared is not holding Jensen hostage and forcing him to do these panels with him. It’s ridiculous. The grumpy!Jensen and overexcited!Jared routine they do is just that- a routine they play with for the amusement of the audience. Anyway, my apologies if I read you wrong. 

I wish people didn’t get so butthurt over things like jokes or act like Jared and Jensen have to be happy all the time. It’s like people expect them to just take whatever crap some members of the fandom throw at them. I’m considering leaving because I just feel like a large chuck of the people in the fandom are toxic and awful. The boys deserve so much better.

They do indeed. But I don’t think that it’s a large chunk of the fandom. Just a very loud one. I think most people here do love and respect them. And I think that although they were hurt by what happened after NOLA, Jared and Jensen believe that too. I hope so anyway. 

So I’ve watched the Gold Panel and wow, it was kinda mess. And I don’t know if it’s just me but Jensen seemed to be annoyed with Jared, which I think happened for the first time. Usually he would just be grumpy and then he would smile but yesterday he looked like he was running out of patience. He was not amused. But it looked like things got better at the main panel so I guess everything’s fine. Also, it felt like the latest drama affected them and now they feel the need to censor themselves :/

Are you really trying to spread Jared hate here? Not on my blog, thanks. I’m sorry but I find it mind-boggling that anyone who watches the panels regularly doesn’t see that at every single one, they try to balance each other out. Yeah, there were times that Jensen seemed annoyed. Hell, I’d say he was flat-out pissed more than once. He was as shady and grumpy as I’ve ever seen him. That wasn’t directed at Jared. Even when Jared spilled some of Jensen’s coffee, Jensen almost immediately laughed and shoved him back. No, looked to me like Jensen was irritated with certain elements of the fandom and what those people did over the last couple weeks. And when Jensen is in a bad mood like that, Jared works twice as hard to be over-the-top goofy and happy to distract both him and the audience. It’s why they make a great team. 

The only part of your ask that has any validity is that yes. They are definitely going to censor themselves from here on out. 

Here’s right after Jared said the word “asshole” too close to the mic:

They know why they have to censor themselves now too. They understand the root of the problem. When they told that routine joke about how Misha has a weak chin, this is Jared’s reaction:

And after Jensen took the joke further, he immediately had to add a disclaimer so the same group wouldn’t come after them AGAIN:

Look at his face. And I’ve already seen the SAME PEOPLE who started the smear campaign against them (which was fueled bc that group was already pissed when they said Misha wasn’t a third lead) say that this was directed at “bibros” who think they don’t love Misha. But see, no bibro I know believes they’re serious when they make jokes about Misha. It’s a small group of people from the other side that freaks out and hates on them when they do it. In fact, they freaked out so hard last time that they made sure to get Jared and Jensen a shit-ton of bad press and tried to equate a joke with them being “rape apologists”. Only one subset of people actually endangered their reputations and careers over the past couple weeks. So the mental gymnastics that bunch of wankers has to go through to make themselves feel better is astounding. 

Still think he is unaware or not upset about what happened at the last con? Look at his face and body language after Jared whispered a joke to him and fans started yelling at him to say it:

Yeah, good point. Because that’s what they thought too until people turned on them. His face after Jared says this says a lot too: 

Looks like Jensen is doubtful of the SPNFamily right about now. Can’t really blame him. 

At the very end, one wonderful fan asked them how they are and her genuine concern touched them deeply…

I’m not sure what Jensen was about to say there but Jared stepped in and took some of the tension off by asking the fan how she is and then talking about how hard it is being away from their families. Jensen followed up with the same and then added that no matter how hard it is, they think the show and the cons are something that’s really special to them and they want to invest in that and protect it. That it won’t last forever and they know it. (Sorry- this is already so long so I won’t gif it. Here’s the link.) Jared finished the panel with this:

They don’t have to be there doing this. The way people have been behaving lately at cons and the wank that gets stirred up every time they do a con? The hate they get for it? That has to stop or they’re going to decide that the downside of doing it far outweighs the good stuff.
