Do you hate this season as much as me? I’m mad about it. So many storylines, hardly any Sam and dean.

Posted on by nothingidputbeforeyou

I don’t know how to answer that. Can you quantify exactly how much you hate it so I have a range? 

I’m kidding. I don’t like this season a whole lot. I didn’t like last season either tbh. Both have had their moments here and there but for the most part, they don’t do it for me. The focus isn’t on Sam and Dean. Things aren’t happening to them or because of them, they’re happening AROUND them and all they can do is react to it. It’s taken the heart right out of the show. The guys are still trying hard but even they don’t seem as engaged now. Can’t really blame them- the show’s recycling a lot of storylines and it has to be hard to stay excited. Like the writers spent a lot of time telling us Castiel was like a brother to them to make sure they could reuse the emotional impact of old-SPN when Sam and Dean died. But it doesn’t have that resonance anymore because we all know everyone comes back. Plus look at the first time Sam died. Jensen talked about how after that scene was over, he couldn’t stop crying for real because he put himself so deep into Dean’s headspace. When Cas died, he was apparently trying to get Misha to break by hitting him in the crotch. It’s just very different now and that’s to be expected after so long. 

And right there is the real heart of it. It’s been SO LONG. 13 seasons. Every show I’ve ever watched that’s run for even a fraction of that time has ended with at least one disappointing season. Usually 2 or 3 tbh. Going way back to when I was a kid (or when I was a little older and watched a lot of TVLand), Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Cheers, Moonlighting, Growing Pains, Roseanne. God, Roseanne’s last season was so bad that when they reboot it for Netflix, they’re going to pretend it never happened. More recently, That 70s Show, Scrubs, Bones, CSI, The Office, Friends, Castle. I even hated the last season of Parks and Rec and that’s one of the greatest shows ever. It’s just the way things are. They lose focus, run out of ideas, sometimes they try adding a cute kid into the mix *ahem*. When people go back and watch it, they tend to ignore the bad seasons at the end and focus on the good stuff. That’s what Supernatural will be remembered for, I hope. 

So for now, I’m just going to watch it for what it is and not compare it to the past. At least we get to spend time watching the boys for 22-23 weeks out of the year and sometimes it’s still good, right? 

Sorry but no requests? I asked you some gifs almost a week ago,My poor request can go fuck herself ahah

Posted on by nothingidputbeforeyou

Um, what? Okay, first of all, I’m not actually a giffing machine. I have things I have to do in real life that sometimes take precedence. I haven’t even watched the last episode yet because of family stuff going on which is what happens when you have a big family and everyone wants to have holiday get togethers. I make gifs whenever I have time. I don’t actually do them because I HAVE to btw. I admit that sometimes I make so many that you might think it’s my job but that’s not the case. I do them because I like making gifs and I love when people enjoy them. So please don’t come at me like I owe it to you to immediately make whatever gifs you want. I do my best and that’s all I can do. 

Having said all that, I think your request might have been lost. The only one I have in there now is an alpha Ackles request that I’ve been trying to put together forever. 

If you have a request, send it to me. If I can do it, I will. If I don’t respond, maybe resend it because tumblr eats stuff. But please. Be polite or I won’t do it at all because fuck that. 

You know if someone make gifs about J2 main panel?

Posted on by nothingidputbeforeyou

Hi there! I’m not going to do any more gifs from the main panel until more videos go up, I think. Vanessa (WaisChoice) put up some great ones- I used hers yesterday- but they weren’t the full panel. The ones posted today are good for watching but they’re not so good for giffing. I know that SPNConGirl is supposed to be posting her main panel video as soon as she can and hers are excellent. As soon as she does, I’ll be making some gifs. 

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:

image

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

image

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: 

image

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…

image

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:

image

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. 

Did you hate that episode of something? you disappeared and haven’t been back

Posted on by nothingidputbeforeyou

Oh no. I didn’t hate it. Usually after the ep is over, I do some things and get back on after a bit to reblog gifs. When I went to get back on last night, I didn’t have internet. I still don’t know why. It came back earlier today but it’s still not loading the gifs worth a damn so I reblogged a few but I did it blind based on the description. What’s up with gifs not loading? Is that happening to anyone else? 

Anyway, I’ll put in a cut here in case anyone really doesn’t want to see spoliers.

There were parts of it I loved and parts of it I didn’t like. I’ve seen positive and REALLY negative reactions so I’m not going to rehash everything. I’ll just point out the one thing that’s been bothering me a little that I haven’t seen discussed. I was really glad to see Billie back. I love, love, love her and Lisa Berry is amazing. But that talk she had with Dean? I mean, she’s Death now, one of the Horsemen. So here’s another conversation between Dean and a Horseman: 

FAMINE I disagree. (Famine moves closer to Dean and touches him) Yes. I see. That’s one deep, dark nothing you got there, Dean. Can’t fill it, can you? Not with food or drink. Not even with sex.

DEAN Oh, you’re so full of crap.

FAMINE Oh, you can smirk and joke and lie to your brother, lie to yourself, but not to me! I can see inside you, Dean. I can see how broken you are, how defeated. You can’t win, and you know it. But you just keep fighting. Just… keep going through the motions. You’re not hungry, Dean, because inside, you’re already…dead.

It feels pretty…samey. And that made me think about a few other things. In season 11, there was a Cas-says-yes-to-Lucifer storyline. Pretty much Sam’s arc at the end of season 5. Now Castiel dies, comes back, and they already hinted that it might not be the usual Cas. That sounds familiar, too. Soulless Sam, anyone? Sam and Dean are grief-stricken about losing a parent but they’re handling it differently. Plot twist! It’s Mary instead of John this time The preview for next week made it seem like Frontierland 2.0 and appears to have been created mostly because the fandom likes seeing Jensen in Western-wear. Which, yeah. We do. But come on. It almost feels like the writers put down all the ideas that worked before on little pieces of paper, threw them in a bag, shook it, and now they’re pulling them out when they need an idea. They just try to twist it enough that people hopefully don’t realize what’s up. And I get it. I do. It’s been 13 years and it’s tough to think of new ideas for these characters. There’s a formula to it. But the second time you see something, it never has the impact it did the first time you saw it, so some of it falls flat.

But you know what? It is what it is. I didn’t like last season at all. So far, I like this one better. Last night’s episode had some very cool effects, a creepy ghost, and some decent brother stuff at the beginning. It gave me material for my captions. That’s really all I ask at this point.
