I think baby wins this round for the sexiest. Just look how gorgeous she looks!
I’ve been noticing something–almost subliminally for a while, but these clips just point it out. When the two of them move in the same direction, it’s like a dance, almost coordinated. Jensen moves first and Jared keys off him, such a small split-second later it almost looks instantaneous. Same foot, same angle of body, time of stride, same grasp on gun, arms up, check slide, focus forward. I’m sure it’s the product of hours and hours and hours of working together in front of the camera, ingrained to the point of instinct by now, but it’s still something lovely to see.
So I’ve been editing this stuff literally frame-by-frame for the last week or so and they’ve been amazingly in sync since season 1. They have to be doing it on purpose, because it’s *everything.* Jared will reach forward, Dean leans back. They open the car doors at the same time. They walk in sync. It’s absolutely coordinated and I think it’s a part of acting that everyone forgets about because we’re wrapped up in the emotions and the physical beauty.
Scenes like this HAVE to be in sync, and I’ll tell you why. There’s a common photography term called the “rule of thirds” and you see it everywhere and it’s basically a rule for how to make any given shot as attractive as possible.
Here’s the shot with the grid overlayed.
Notice how baby’s hood lies almost directly on the lower 1/3 line and her roof is on the other one? And how Jared and Jensen have almost exactly 1/3 of the screen between them? This is not an accident. The crew spends hours doing the blocking and timing it takes to set up these shots. In this case, it’s not just a static image, the camera is panning left which means that Jared and Jensen HAVE to stay in sync or they’ll lose the composition of the shot.
Subliminally, you just realize that everything looks nice. But when you’re explicitly looking for it you start to appreciate how talented these guys really are and how much work goes into getting a shot as simple as the two of them walking away from the car.
and even if I’d seen it coming you’d still’ve seen me running straight into your arms ♥︎
okay this is probably the worst gifset i’ve ever made but this song is so perfect for them i couldn’t wait. song rec from my one true love @baywatchboobs ❤
Dean has rough skin and strong hands, built for carrying guns and fixing cars, and an even rougher personality, crass and impatient and filled to the brim with snark. Yet when Sam is hurt, even if it’s just a gash on his hand, Dean is tender and gentle, moving slow and careful as to not exacerbate things. But it’s not just the hand. Something is fundamentally wrong with Sam, it’s clear as day to him, though he has no idea how bad it really is yet. So he dotes on him more than he would have a few weeks ago, before the wall was broken. Like he did when Sam was young. And Sam watches Dean, a mixture of terror and confusion swimming in his eyes that are a heartbeat away from swelling up with tears as he struggles to keep his mind in reality. He looks to Dean like he did as he was growing up, searching for answers and subconsciously needing him to make it all okay.
DEAN SKIPPED OUT ON HIS ONLY PROM AND FIRST GIRLFRIEND FOR SAMMY
HE KNEW BANANA AND PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES WERE SAM’S FAVORITE, SO HE TRIED TO STEAL FROM A STORE, AND HE GOT CAUGHT AND ARRESTED AND SENT TO A BOY’S HOME FOR SAMMY
HE RODE TO THE ER BY HIMSELF ON A BICYCLE IN A FUCKING SUPERMAN COSTUME FOR SAMMY
HE SOLD HIS SOUL AND WENT TO HELL FOR 40 YEARS FOR SAMMY
HE WENT TO A SILLY KID’S PLAY BECAUSE HE KNEW NO ONE ELSE WOULD BE THERE CHEERING WITH THE REST OF PARENTS FOR SAMMY
HE KNEW THEY WERE RUNNING LOW ON FOOD, BUT HE GAVE UP HIS PORTION OF THE LAST BOWL OF LUCKY CHARMS FOR SAMMY
HE COULDN’T LIVE WITH HIS BROTHER DEAD, SO HE MADE TWO HUNTERS SHOOT HIM POINT BLANK WITH A SHOTGUN FOR SAMMY
HE GAVE HIS CAR KEYS TO A RANDOM GROUP OF PEOPLE AND TOLD THEM TO TAKE THE IMPALA IF IT MEAN THAT THEY WOULDN’T KILL HIS BROTHER FOR SAMMY
HE STOLE PRESENTS FROM OTHER HOUSES AND SAID THEY WERE FROM THEIR FATHER SO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO OPEN ON CHRISTMAS FOR SAMMY
HE THREATENED TO TEAR OUT A KID’S THROAT WHO WAS BEING A BULLY FOR SAMMY
HE TOLD BOBBY WOULD RATHER SEE THE APOCALYPSE END THE WORLD THAN HAVE TO BURY HIS BROTHER FOR SAMMY
HE KNEW BATMAN WAS SAM’S FAVORITE SUPERHERO GROWING UP, SO HE CALLS HIMSELF BATMAN AS AN ADULT FOR SAMMY
EVERYTHING DEAN DOES IS FOR SAMMY, AND IF THERE’S ONE THING DEAN WILL SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR, IT’S FOR SAMMY
