JIB9 Closing

After Jensen called for everyone to be quiet during the closing ceremony, Rich said this:

And did his impression of Jensen yelling at them backstage:

But the main takeaway here is that he calls Jensen and Jared “The Captain and Tennille” 

and that Jared is happy to Jensen’s Tennille. Which is I guess a private joke?

Plus this happened:

THAT’S NOT HOW YOU WHISPER, JARED. You don’t put your mouth on his face and your hand on his hip.

Or am I wrong? Is this how you all whisper? 

Have I been doing it wrong??

Also? Deliberate hand touching on Daniela. Just pointing it out. 

Jared’s not-so-solo Saturday JIB panel

Jared didn’t feel good on Saturday. He said it in the morning J2 panel.

Later, he mentioned not feeling great to several people in his photo ops. When they had autos, people saw him pull Jensen away and they held a private conversation that ended with Jared saying something like “No, I’ll be fine.” Right after that was Jared’s solo panel. Except it wasn’t a solo panel at all. Jensen left his autos and got Rich and Rob and they ALL went out with Jared.

And then this:

Which wasn’t even true really?

He then spent the entire beginning of the panel deflecting questions:

And providing a distraction for Jared who clearly didn’t feel great. He sang KISS acapella :

He blew bubbles at Jared:

Close up of that:

He said this after the first question got interrupted by all the joking around, which was interesting:

He cooled himself off with a fan:

And poured Jared water:

Which they both drank. Very sweet.

He played the guitar:

He flicked bubbles off of Jared:

image

And told him not to show off his butt:

image

Honestly? I think Jensen would have ridden a unicycle and juggled if it helped Jared.

And Jared clearly did need him there. 

When Jensen acted like he was going to leave:

Jared reaches out to stop him.

Jensen stayed there until Daniela showed up and LITERALLY dragged him off stage to go back to autos:

I know JIB weekend is hard on both of them. It’s the anniversary of a very bad time. It just warms my heart that Jared felt sick and Jensen went into full protective mode, even making sure Rob and Rich would still be with him if and when Jensen had to go. As my friend described it, Jensen was all MAYDAY MAYDAY ALL HANDS ON DECK JARED NEEDS US the second he realized Jared was a little off.

I think this gif of the big screen behind them sums it up best. Jensen over Jared’s shoulder protectively having his back:
