time is running out
So I'm in school and don't have much time (my laptop crashed at home which had me freaking out - I've been without a computer for a fucking week, guys!) but seriously, this is just...Jensen said, when asked whom Dean and Sam belong to among the writers, that "Sera thinks Sam is hers and Edlund thinks Dean is his" and oh god, that is so true! I'm glad it's true. Edlund writes Dean the best, no question, and Sera does a wonderful Sam (most of the time) and I just...I'm just fangirling Ben Edlund so hard. Love him. :D
(Also, again; school ain't bad at all. It's freaky, but I actually look forward to going. File this under, "...you know your life sucks when...")
desperately wanting
Yeah. I just hope I'm not jinxing anything by feeling, hoping, this way.
Also, being a fan (to put it mildly) of Supernatural, I am of course also a fan of the actors. And...you know, I get RPS, I really do, hell, I do it myself, but I've been a bit...hesitant to really get into it with j2. Dunno why. However, today, I had a full on j2 marathon--watched the gag reels and interviews and read quotes, you know the drill. And omg I am so in. There are far too many things to quote, far too many pics to show, but let me tell you, those two dudes are magnificient and what's totally not fair is how they always jank our, the fangirls', chain. I'll give you...two quotes. No more.
(Except, this I just have to comment on: these two crying scenes, Sam (Jared) in 2.17 and Dean (Jensen) in 4.10. Well, Jared really got into it, full on bawling and being really upset, and (quoting here), Jensen seeing that got him so upset that he cried too, and voila, you get that single tear of Dean's at the end of 2.17. Same in 4.10. It's probably the most we've seen Dean (Jensen) cry; not just one tear here, as he's prone to do, but lips quivering, eyes running, the whole deal, and Jared (quoting here), got so upset seeing Jensen so upset he started (discreetly) crying too. Man, you have got to love these two guys!)
Jared: Why I sweat so much? Um, knowing that [Jensen's] always--his eyes are always on me. Desperately wanting, you ever heard that Better Than Ezra song, Desperately Wanting? He--that crush on me, it makes me kind of awkward. He's always crying, and so I always feel like I should help him out, and I get nervous, you know, 'cause I'm like, I wanna do something for him, but I don't wanna give him the wrong idea, and just that sort of crazy thought process in my head makes me sweat.
Jensen: And they were pleased with it and went home that evening and got a phone call, 'Well, there's this guy Jared Pada...Padasomething and they really are liking him for one of the brothers.' So of course, I look him up online.
Jared: He thought I was hot.
Jensen: This guy is smokin' hot. I cannot play his brother. And then they said they'd like to bring me back into Dean and I was of course very excited.
John Shiban: And the second thing, honestly, is casting and chemistry. And chemistry is something you cannot manufacture. These guys have it and they are so great to write for.
[Jared looks at Jensen and leans in to kiss him, but Jensen points to the audience which breaks into cheers and goes wild]
Jared Padalecki: Worth a try, worth a try.
(Did I mention that I miss John Shiban like crazy? Filled with plot-holes as his episodes were, the feeling and sincerity behind it made them so good. Man, I'd kill for a Everybody Loves a Clown episode in season 4.)
Here are the guys in question:
(No, Jensen is not short: he stands a solid 6'1" tall, it's Jared who's a giant--6'4" here, people! He makes everyone look like midgets.)
Not the slashiest pic I could find, but it always makes me smile like crazy, so. *shrugs*
I mean, you gotta love Supernatural, man. The fandom's three main OTP's are RPS (Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki), Incest (Sam/Dean) and Interspecies/Blasphemy (Dean/Castiel). Before you ask, yes, I adore all three. What's it to you?

you were always one to stay the same, girl, i know you want to be the rain
speaking in tongues
1.) Season 1, episode 10, Asylum. Dean is down on the floor, chest full of rocksalt, Sam pointing a gun to his face, "You hate me that much? You think you can kill your own brother?" And Sam pulls the trigger. Four times. If I had to pick the one moment that made me realize this show owns my heart and soul, that would be it. (Plus, that question hasn't been answered yet.) I remember thinking, had this been any other show (I'm looking at y'all, Buffy/Smallville/One Tree Hill/Beverly Hills!), no way Sam would've pulled that trigger. But this is Supernatural, and he did. He fucking did, and I love him/this show/Dean so much for it. In a, you know, rip-out-my-heart-and-stomp-on-it kinda way.
2.) Season 4, episode 21, When the Levee Breaks. The confrontation that the entire season, nay, the entire show has been building up to, and Dean chokes out, "I just...want you to be okay!" That is the line that gets to me, every time. The whole monster thing after that is powerful, yes, but that line...it basically sums up the entire show, you know? The whole premise of Dean's character and his relationship with Sam. You must understand, Dean is not an eloquent guy. He relies on instinct and feeling more often than not (yet he's agnostic, funnily enough). That was why he couldn't come up with a good argument in 2.09 or 4.05, backed down yet was proven right in the end. And just...yeah. I have my problems with SG, but she nailed this episode.
So yeah. Those two moments. There are countless of others, of course (hello, the end of Salvation/Everybody Loves a Clown/All Hell Breaks Loose Part 1), but if I had to choose...
