thinking abt that interview where j2 said that sam and dean wouldn’t have love interests cause it would be awkward for them to be driving around with some girl in the back of the impala and yet-

This moment is perfectly set up by Sam’s reaction to losing Eileen. He can’t talk about it. Underlining how Dean isn’t sat there crying because he just lost his best friend. He’s sat there crying because he just lost the love of his life.

Fuck man, Jensen Ackles investing 15 years of his life, his talent, blood, and tears into Dean Winchester and this small tv-series. 

Jensen Ackles A-star level actor declining other roles in big shows and movies like avengers out of loyalty and respect for Dean and the SPN fandom. Jensen Ackles, who could’ve easily earned an oscar had he left the show for something else.

Jensen Ackles leaving his family for 9 months every year to shoot the show.

Jensen Ackles calling Dean his friend and saying that he’ll carry him inside for the rest of his life. Jensen Ackles caring about Dean like no writer ever did, making deliberate changes to the way he portrayed Dean in order to reflect what Dean had been through and how it changed his character. Who analysed the shit out of scripts and made sure they were true to Dean’s character and journey, putting SO MUCH thought into his every single acting decision.

Jensen Ackles, who hated the ending, but was told convicted that he was wrong about it, that he was “too close”, when in reality he was THE ONLY who knew what was right and who Dean was all along. 

Jensen Ackles, who worked so hard for so long and gave up so much to make Dean so relatable, admirable, lovable, and complex like no other character out there….only to have him ended like that… 

We all deserved better and we all have been spat in the face, but no one more than Jensen Ackles & Dean Winchester. And while I am angry for myself, I am fucking furious for them.

"why couldn't jensen have said this ten years ago" because he couldn't and that's why it hits! Jensen admitting that dean and cas's romance is down to he and misha being open and emotionally available to whatever naturally happens as a result of their chemistry is many years coming in the slow burn between jensen and his own self acceptance, i think

Transcription of Misha's answer from That Part of his and Jensen's panel because once again, I am unwell

Misha Collins: Uh… I would say that Jensen professionally, as an actor, is able to turn in a passible performance [crowd laughs] consistently. [crowd laughs again] Uh I’ll- I’ll… I will spare you all me telling you that Jensen is an excellent actor and that I think he’ll probably wind up being–”

Jensen Ackles: “It’s okay they can hear it.”

Misha: “--No, they don’t wanna hear it– that he’ll probably wind up an A-list movie star at some point.

[Crowd cheers]

Misha: “I have told him that in private and I- I don’t want to make that a public statement because I saw even privately how big it made his head, [crowd laughs] and I don’t think that’s good for him. Uhm, but I will- I’ll- I’ll share something that is a little bit more insider baseball about Jensen professionally which is that he took control of the set, and established a tone of professionalism, and courtesy, and kindness to one another on the set that is very rare in our business for some reason. 

Typically when people are given the keys to power in Hollywood on set they turn into- uh- self-serving primadonnas, and Jensen, you consistently set a tone of being respectful, and professional, and inclusive, and made guest stars as well as crew members feel welcome and relevant and heard, and… there’s a reason the- the president of our network every year would host a dinner in Vancouver and would bring the cast of Supernatural to dinner, and then bring casts of other new shows to the dinner as well, and basically told the new casts ‘Be like these guys.’ And I was a- I was late to the party. I was the new kid on the show, when I got there that tone had already been established and- and Jensen you for sure carried the torch of that tone, so, professionally that was um… That- That- That probably for me is the thing that I would carry forward in my career the most, um, having learned from you. Uhm- [clears throat]”

[Applause]

Jensen: “I’m sweating. [...] Thank you”

Misha: “Um, and personally, like, literally no one I know gives a better hot oil massage.”

[Crowd laughs]

Jensen: “[Pointing at someone onstage clapping] He was my teacher.”
