#SPNDC 2024 [video]

So I went to the Creation DC Con this weekend (which is why I wasn't posting much on here) and not only got my 45rpm of Eye of the Tiger signed by Jensen, but then the utterly wonderful @talltalesandbedtimestories invited me to join her for her J2 photo op AND offered to let me hug Jensen while she got a Jared hug. Never one to pass up an opportunity when it's presented to me I accepted (lavishing my thanks and gratitude on her) and we go in and the boys are, of course, insanely gorgeousbeautifulhandsomeprettytallperfect and we each go up to our assigned J and ask for a hug and, y'all, the eye contact with Jensen is intense when he's focused on you... holy fucking hell, but he says, "A hug?" confirming so I say, "A hug." again and then he stepped in and hugged me and I hugged him back and tried to remember to smile at the camera, the whole time hyperfocused on the fact that his thigh is pressed against one of my legs which I found completely (and delightfully) distracting from the fact that he's hugging me. But the photo is taken and we step apart, more eye contact, and I said thank you and smiled and he smiled and I turned and looked at Jared who smiled at me, eye contact, and said Hi or something, and I said thank you to him too. And then we're walking away but Chris Schmelke (photographer) is getting our attention saying he needs to reshoot so we get waved back around to the the front of the line again and, y'all... Y'ALL I got to hug him AGAIN and his leg was pressed against mine the same way again and I realized that it was, in fact, his inner left thigh that was pressed up against the outside of my right leg. Because, I think (brain cells? What brain cells?) he probably did that thing they do where they spread their legs to make themselves seem not quite as tall… I don’t know. But so yeah, I got not one but TWO Jensen hugs and may have lost a brain cell or two from the mental short circuit that caused.

Photo below the cut.

Also I swear I was smiling. I was just also trying to keep my eyes open and not blink.

"Sam and Dean love each other as much as two human beings can love each other. Truly." — Jared Padalecki, San Diego Comic Con 2017

❤️ Jared's version

so i wanted to share this little tidbit from my m&g with jared and it’s specifically show related/about sam so i think it’s okay. and i wanted sam fans to hear this bc i know it’s something discussed a lot (this is all paraphrased and stuff btw, but i tried to accurately capture jared’s answer).

at njcon, i essentially asked jared this: “the show has had this trope of having sam constantly have to work with his abusers but never addresses the after effects. last season he had to work with lucifer, and lucifer was even in his room, and cole the season before that, and gadreel before that. and most recently there was his torture and sexual assault from toni, who i have a feeling he’ll now have to work with. so do you think sam has any trauma and ptsd and struggles working with them?”

jared said that he thought that of course sam had trauma, a lot of trauma, from all these events and these people. but he went on to say that he thinks sam is a character who constantly feels like he needs forgiveness - that he needs to be forgiven for the things he’s done wrong in his life. and because sam always feels like he needs to be forgiven, that makes him feel like he needs to forgive others in return for the wrongs they’ve done. he said that sam doesn’t want to work with them, nor forgive them, and it’s hard for him in these situations and of course the trauma is real and present for sam, but sam also knows that when he is working with them it’s typically born from necessity, so he has to kind of shoulder his own demons and work with these people despite what they’ve done. so it boiled down to jared saying that yes, sam has a great deal amount of trauma, but he will stomach that/ignore that because sam is a character that feels like he needs to be forgiven and therefore has to give forgiveness back and also because of the situations of the boys’ life 

also jared seemed a little shocked/interested by the question, said it was one he didn’t think anyone had really asked or put together, but he appreciated the weight of it and definitely took his time to answer seriously and think about sam and sam’s headspace, which i truly appreciated. 

Very dirty boys at JaxCon 2019
