melancholia

So, what's new? Well, I don't know...there's one major thing, I suppose. School's not bad. I mean, it really isn't. Fuck, I actually look forward to going, I look forward to having Math. It's weird, man. I haven't felt like this since I was like 9. The teachers are great, Sarah is really cool (what is with me and attracted English people anyway?) and I like her a lot, the stuff I'm studying is great and interesting and actually motivating, and...it kinda feels like things are looking up, you know? Which, again, is a strange feeling for me.

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?
