I have no idea how I didn't see this before (like last year when it was posted!).
Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki's Epic Bromance. I know some don't like the term bromance, but I'm not one of them. *g* I can't think of a better way to describe a friendship that goes beyond just bestest buddies.
The cynical part of me sometimes thinks that they're "faking" it for the sake of the show, but really, there's just too much natural chemistry between them to think they could be simply acting the part. And having watched quite a lot of con footage (when making the last J2 vid), there's a genuine protectiveness of each other (especially Jensen for Jared. Jensen gets damn FIERCE when anyone says something to Jared that he thinks is uncalled for). I mostly find con footage (and even interviews) hard to watch because there's a squick factor that I can't get past (mostly the questions!).
Also, those lovely little moments in the
gag reel? Priceless (I sincerely hope there's more to the the S9 gag reel than this. It's just so damn short! 23 eps and only 3 mins of bloopers?! Nope).
At the moment the Js are my happy place. Sam and Dean used to be my happy place, but they are increasingly becoming characters that don't exactly bring me joy (it's probably not helping that I am clipping for a Kevin vid and boy, they neglected him and it makes me mad at them!).
And yes, that gag reel better be at least 10 minute longer than that clip!
I know what you mean about some of the con questions - I loved JIB this year because they had a new strict system for vetting people's questions while we were in line and I think it actually worked to weed out some of the more inane, boring stuff.
The gag reel has got to be longer surely?! *hopes*
So..this vetting system. Couldn't you just "say" you're going to ask a certain question and then change your mind and ask something different? Though - yeah, I'm sure they could say "that's been asked a million times...can you ask something else?"
I can relate to that. :-/ I've been meaning to ask you whether it's a good idea after all for me to write you a Sam/Dean fic for the auction thing. Is there any secondary character you like - especially among the women? Someone else you might like reading fic about?
That said, I adore Jody (and Sam 'n Jody - and even Sam/Jody) would be totally awesome too!
Your choice honey! I'll be happy with whatever you do! <3
But I just can't get with that idea. I mean, just in the way they look at each other. And you can see their chemistry coming through their characters.
Also, interesting to note is the way they prank people. It's rarely them pranking each other, it's them as a team pranking their costars. I think that says a lot.
And yeah - those looks. There's respect, admiration and a level of familiarity that's endearing.
A lot of what I love so hard about the spn fandom rolls down hill from these two. They adore each other, so we all do the same, it's a family, and they have shown us how to make friends into loved ones :)
Right, that's me done with the rambles, lol.
Thanks for sharing, saw it the first time round but ALWAYS worth another look :D
a little gif that shows a candid moment when Jensen looks back to see what Jared is doing. It's "off screen", so speaks volumes about their relationship.
They adore each other, so we all do the same, it's a family, and they have shown us how to make friends into loved ones :)
Very true. :))

Yes! You'd think they might have had enough of each other spending so much time together! But you have to imagine that they trust each other so much and know each other so well, that being together is so very comfortable and easy. A match made in heaven.
I am really looking forward to seeing what Jensen does. I would say he will have grown as a director (though I really did love the first ep he directed. I thought he did a great job of that).
xx
Damn adorable boys. Life ruiners is what they are!
That is all.
The previous gag reels have been quite long (like 7-9 minutes?), and I don't think they've ever been shown in full in Comiccon. *is totally an optimist*
I SO SO hope we get some more. What we've got is awesome - but we NEEDS MORE!!! There's all the pie in the face stuff, so that's gotta be on there somewhere I would have thought. *fingers crossed*
Just looking back over the past 9 years and the way this show's fandom has grown and spread and the proliferation of conventions that are focused *only* on this show is evidence enough.
There is *nothing* that will cheer me up then watching a J2 fanvid or interview.
I said this on Twitter the other day, I'm in love with their friendship.
It's my dream to actually meet them one day. Probs won't even happen. But a gal can dream!
There is a fic I read, and no, I can't remember the title, damn it, but when I read this part of your post it came instantly to mind. Beautifully written, it tells the story of the boys from the beginning of Supernatural, using the premise that the guys hated each other on sight and were warned to act like they liked each other. I think Jared dumped Jen's sister and that's what spurred Jen's hatred. There's lots of fights on and off set, Jen fighting his growing fantasies. It's a happy ending but I love the journey getting there. And now, I have to hunt this down, LOL! I'll let you know if I find it.
The J's are one of my very happy places too. ♥
Also: Yay, a Kevin vid!
Hee....the Kevin vid has turned out rather dark. I'm just getting it beta'd, but yeah...not sure how it will be received.
xx
This is the exact place my heart is at as well!
Even before I went to my first con, I could tell they weren't faking their friendship and then when I actually saw them in person, I knew it was real. Everything they do points to the bond they formed so quickly 10 years ago. They've been in each other's weddings for goodness sakes! And just watching them you can tell they truly enjoy each other's company.
And I'm pretty sure if they weren't such great friends? SPN would not have stayed on the air as long as it has. ;)
I can't imagine them working to a script!
I would absolutely love to see them in person. It would be magic to see them bouncing off each other. I think the fact that they shared a house speaks volumes. They'd have to get along to be able to do that. :)
