For the timeline from 2017 or for any of the years from 2015 to 2022 once they’re all posted, search my page for “timeline.”
Note: again, the content within each year is not yet listed chronologically, and sadly I can only include a small handful of photos and GIFs due to limited image space, but if you’d like the visual counterparts for anything, just message me!
No year is even close to being a fully comprehensive collection yet, but I’ll be updating each post over time to get as close to that as I can!
Jared spends his anniversary (as in his faux anniversary, the anniversary of his marriage to Genevieve) out with Jensen.
The Js are spotted out in Austin date-night-ing it up at the Gleason (documentary) debut.
Rogue Magazine publishes some interesting photos of the Js on either side of a door (a closet door, even? perhaps?)-
Either way, their body language is certainly something to talk about…
The Js have a wild night out together at a Kaleo concert and then at San Jac Saloon.

The Js are each other’s date to Mark Shepard’s wedding! 😍❤️
Saturn Awards, Cassidy Gard interview:
While chatting about J2’s “bromance,” Cassidy comments that it seems like the two of them definitely have a good time together.
Jensen smiles, averts his eyes, and responds with, “we…probably have too much of a good time.”
The Js serenade each other on the keyboard. Jared plays ‘Right Here Waiting’ for Jensen, and Jensen plays ‘Everything I Do, I Do it For You’ for Jared.
A trans fan speaks to the Js about finding the courage to transition.
Jared: “I know what it’s like to have to keep a secret and not be who you are.”
Jared tells a story about being out to dinner in Rome with Genevieve and accidentally flipping off the waiter. (see 2016 asylum directly below for significance)
Jensen tells the exact same story above about being at a restaurant in Rome and Jared accidentally flipping off the waiter, except JENSEN was the one who was with Jared in Jensen’s re-telling.
*note: this is just one of many moments all supporting the fact that when the Js talk about their wives, they are often actually speaking about each other.
Jared forgets that he and Jensen are visible from behind and blatantly (really, really blatantly) spends some time massaging Jensen’s upper arm and shoulder in a not-at-all platonic way.
*notable as one of those extra special J2 things that has singlehandedly (as a stand-alone moment) convinced a significant number of now-tinhats that Jared and Jensen are not platonic with each other.
Jensen refers to Jared and Genevieve’s marriage while air quoting the word “married.”
He also pulls Jared fiercely into a full body embrace that has gone on to become one of the most well-known and most frequently talked about J2 moments.
The Js again discuss the first real fight they had, and Jared says, “That happens in any relationship, whether it’s friends, boyfriend-girlfriend, boyfriend-boyfriend, it gets tested, and that’s when you find out whether or not it’s worth it to you.” (parallel to 2017 minncon)
*note: although Jared included “friends” in this list of relationships, he also threw in “boyfriend-boyfriend,” so…
Jensen says (about himself and Jared), “Early on, we found out that we were better together, the two of us, than we were separate.”
Jared refers to Jensen as his partner, something they both have done on multiple occasions-
Jared: “I’m going to ask what my partner’s favorite part is, or the first thing that comes to his mind for every season.”
Jared says this super significant thing about the industry-
“I’ve had a lot of joy and a lot of pain being in the public eye. (…) You don’t have to be on TV to be acting.”
Jared goes without his wedding ring on Valentines Day.
Jensen says, about himself and Jared, “We were made for each other.”
Richard Speight seems to nearly slip up and say something that he ends up realizing mid-sentence he can’t say while a camera is present-
Richard (to Jared, about a Valentines card he’s working on that Jensen has just dumped glitter all over): “This was good until your-...this was good until HE dumped glitter all over it.”
Jensen gives a long, thoughtful, completely gender-neutral response about finding the one in which he uses words like “partner” and “teammate” that he has previously used on numerous occasions (and will use many times again after this) to describe Jared/his relationship with Jared.
(on two different ways of ‘finding the one’) “-you just know with an absolute and have a certainty, like this is the one for me, unequivocally. And there’s those who are…I don’t know…I’m scared, but I’m willing to take that leap of faith with you, and I found myself somewhere in between both of those. It’s a scary endeavor that certainly has its ups and downs, but it’s a bond, and it’s a connection, and it’s a friendship, and it’s a ride, and it’s a journey…that if you’re willing to stick it out together is an amazing, beautiful thing. And…I’m so glad I picked the partner, the teammate, that I did.”
Jensen (about Jared): “He calls me and he’s like ‘hey, babe.’” (revealing the fact that Jared calls him ‘babe’)
*note: the ‘babe’/‘baby’ thing is not an isolated incident, either…
Jensen offers his sleeve for Jared to wipe his nose on, which may not sound like much on the surface but which is, in reality, incredibly indicative of an extremely deep level of intimacy and trust between the two of them.
Jared reminisces about the (super romantic) Stanley Park lunch date he and Jensen shared together way back when they were filming Wendigo and falling for each other-
Jared: “[Jensen] said, ‘there’s a cool spot over here if you want to come eat,’ and I was like ‘alright.’ So we grabbed our lunches and sat on the sea wall.”
Jensen: “It was a Taster’s Choice moment.”
(note: after doing some research and receiving input from a local, I learned that Stanley Park is well-known for being a couple’s spot, for being a place you take a date)
Message from Supernaturalwinter: “I’m from Vancouver - ya you don’t go to Stanley Park for lunch unless it’s as a date (or you’re with a big group of friends and you’ve planned a picnic, also the only places to eat around Stanley Park are ‘couples spots’), like you go for lunch and it’s a date.”
Another ‘partner’ moment (Jensen to Jared)-
“When you have a partner you’ve been dancing with for that long…”
Jared opens up a bit about his (many) struggles with the industry-
“Like…the industry has been pretty difficult for me believe it or not.”
