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. 💙

A fan asked Misha if that was really his hand print on Dean’s shoulder. He looked at them for a long time and then said “Yes. They made me put my hand in a furnace until it was blisteringly hot then I had to touch his shoulder. He later had skin grafts to remove it when the show didn’t need it on him anymore and I had to have a full hand transplant.” A+ sarcasm from Misha.

Misha said that most sci fi shows that have conventions do photo ops where the actor stands there and the fan ideally doesn’t touch the actor but for the supernatural ops, they just do anything people ask. He said they’ve pretty much given up any shred of dignity they have left at this point. If someone asks Jared to wear moose antlers and Misha to wear a tiara and Misha to ride on Jared’s back, they’re just like “Fine.”
