I’m making gifs from the concert at the Orion after JIB8 and I noticed this at the end. Jensen trying to direct Jared to a mic and Jared being like NOPE:

Then Jensen stops him from almost stepping on a guitar and Jared still seems nervous being on stage:

Jared finally goes up near the mic and Jason and Sasha pull him in to try and make him more comfortable:

And Jensen reaches over behind Jason to reassure Jared:

Here’s another angle of that moment where you can kind of see Jensen’s left arm reaching out to pat Jared when Jason steps forward a little:

Jensen seemed really proud that Jared got up and joined in:

This warms my heart because Jared is clearly still not 100% comfortable with performing music in front of people and everyone (especially Jensen) was so supportive. 

This is just to illustrate how deeply moved Jensen was that the hotline could help people, maybe even save someone who was thinking of hurting themselves. If you read Jared’s chapter in the new book from Fangasm, Family Don’t End With Blood, you know that he was in a very dark place two years ago right around JIBCon and needed help. This is a big deal for Jensen because he wants to make things better for other’s who felt the same way. And the rest of the cast really tried to comfort Jensen this weekend when all of this hit him and he had to (as he put it) “take a knee”. That’s a beautiful thing. (JIB8)

Jared knew how hard the day had been on Jensen. Jensen talked about going to find Jared earlier during autos when he got emotional and Jared giving him a pep talk and hugging him. This panel was kind of a continuation of that. So even though it had only been going on for about half an hour, Jared decided to rescue Jensen by having the whole cast come out and give him a group hug. 💙

When Jensen took the stage at the concert. Jason Manns had the mic stand up high which reminded Jensen of Jared so he immediately pointed to Jared in the audience. (X)
