When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Don’t know why. That song came to me as I saw that gif/video. May our wishes and desires come true. Reblogging for us all.
Here’s to hoping this is the start of a new era for Jensen. Confidence in sorting the people who actually support him and he can deal with versus those who don’t.
Man, Jensen is thrilled at Misha crashing the panel. Yet another Jensen/Misha hug where Jensen looks like he’d rather chew off his own arm than hug him.
Me again. I forgot one thing. People think we hate Elta because we want to sleep with Jensen when there's literally so many reasons. Let me say that I do find his characters attractive because his natural charisma seeps in. But Jensen is like an empty space. If anything, he comes off as aloof when he talks about marriage. I'd rather have a husband like Jared who worships his wife. Even if it turns out it's PR (but you really can't fake the way he looks at her!), he sells it so well. If I was somehow married to Jensen, I don't know. It comes off that Elta is stuck at home a lot and she's basically a housewife (even though I'm pretty sure there are nannies and maids so what does she do with her days). I'm a person that needs to work and be independent and I would honestly feel crapped in a kind of situation where my husband is at work all the time and I wasn't contributing in any way (this could be false but based on what has been said at conventions, this is the picture that is being told to us).
Again, thank you for being a soundboard for many of us too shy to say these things off anon. <3
Oh, I definitely agree, a husband like Jared would be far more appealing than what Jensen seems to be like in real life. Thank you for your lovely energy!
I often wonder if the dynamic in CT was what Jensen grew up with. Working dad. Stay-at-home mom. Like, was it the plan? A discussion? “I will only marry a woman who is willing to stay home.” Or “I will only marry a man who will allow me to stay home.” Perhaps it was mutual.
I adore Jensen and want to see him succeed, and if the real Jensen would be my partner, then I would be hard pressed to decline. However, if the dynamic between them is him and his ego and not the result of an emotionally neglected relationship and potentially abusive partner, no thanks. A hot night would suffice. I deserve better. Any partner does.
Even when he was thrilled that JJ turned to him for help instead of Danneel on her homework, said they are competitive, I was turned off. That’s such an immature way to be in a marriage. I was guilty of it myself in my early days of being a parent. My own insecurities made it important for my girls to “love me best”. A lot of therapy and self-reflection later and I make every effort to have a partnership not a competition. I wish this for Jensen with whomever he belongs with.
The, "both are alive" tweet makes me laugh, not only because they used an old picture of Jensen, but because of the fact we're presumably meant to believe that Danneel and Jensen are in the same place in those pictures, even though they're clearly not.
I'm even beginning to doubt Jensen was there. No picture of them together?? Hmmmmm.
I’ve been stalking you and some other pages I never knew Jensen was even married with kids until a few weeks ago after I started supernatural. But damn seeing the posts and things about his wife these two are definitely separated, who shouts out their best friend and not the woman he’s been married to for 15 years WITH kids,he’s still young hope the dude gets out of those shackles and finds happiness, the lady is a damn mess he definitely seems like one of those guys who lets his gf/wife walk all over him….but at first I won’t lie thought his and a few other accounts were REACHING but he doesn’t even look really happy, he’s not perfect no one is but damn.
I think Jensen is good at coming off as a guy that lets a woman walk all over him but I think the reality is a little different, I think he is the one in control and he sets Elta up to believe she is. I could be wrong though.
Yep she is definitely his scapegoat. I agree he likes to pretend like he's the victim to big mean Danneel but in reality not only is he the one that's actually in control he doesn't actually let Elta believe she is, either. Not really. I think she 100% knows and lashes out in frustration regularly when she gets the chance in public, which just reinforces the "poor abused Jensen" image he's wanting.
Such good points by all the other reblogs and the original answer by @hologramcowboy to the anon. I have often interpreted their dynamic as full of codependency and toxicity, in such that it’s challenging to determine who’s the victim and who’s the problem in many interactions.
Before I started my own mental health journey, and my husband and I started couples therapy, we both saw ourselves as the victim. Meanwhile, we each did some pretty shitty things and received some shitty things from one another.
Jensen loves to paint Danneel as the queen B (your choice of b) and there is likely truth to much of what he says. But I have always thought perhaps it comes from a bit of indifference and laziness in investing in the marriage. He said something in a panel once of coming home to her rules and routines, not disrupting them, since she’s the one home most of the time. While that sounds like he’s acknowledging her dominion at home, it is also the easy way out of real responsibility and leaving the workload and heavy lifting to the wife as many men do.
Likewise, it is evident he has more say and dominance than he portrays, particularly in recent years. Either he’s reached a precipice of intolerance and isn’t playing the game by her rules anymore or he’s reached a level of arrogance(maybe overly confident??) and is wielding it.
We made the same face when we heard about what happened @beausvalleygirl1 😂 YALL LEAVE JENSEN ALONE! No one knows Dean better than he does. He said no, that means NO! End. Of. Story.
He doesn’t owe us anything.
He doesn't have to spend his weekends at conventions, and he definitely doesn't have to sit on a stage and be argued with about his own character just because it conflicts with a fan fantasy.
Write your fics, ship your ships, do your thing-but keep it in fan spaces. If you want to talk about it at a con, talk to Misha, since he's the one who likes to play into that dynamic.
Jensen is there because he loves the SPN family, not because he has to be. He is one of the kindest, most generous actors with his time and stories. Don't ask a question if you're only looking for a specific answer. He deserves respect, period.
Had he walked off that stage I would have applauded him, had he been more aggressive I would have applauded him. Instead he kept his composure, he wasn’t hateful. Because that’s who he is.
That entire situation was complete bullshit.
And I’m not just saying it because it’s Jensen. I’d feel the same way if Jared had been treated that way.
If this keeps up they could stop doing cons all together.
Fandom is supposed to be fun!!!!! Not borderline insane.

But having that partner; someone to rely on, someone who would rely on you, is sometimes the only thing that got us through. But when someone needs you like that, showing up for that person matters more than anything else.
Get a drink and a snack because I'm too hot to edit what I'm writing and I have a lot of feelings. This is kinda long and without any pictures to break it up.
I'm back to blocking Mishap fanatics and apologists on Instagram, so business as usual. With no interaction because I am a nice person, and you can lead a horse to holy water but you can't make them drink. I just block and move on. But the thing that made me post now was what one said. I can't remember their name but it included Padalecki so I expected some sense.
They made a multi page text post about how Jensen will be fine with all the hate and accusations because he's a millionaire so who cares if he's upset.
What the fuck.
I've seen this before with other conversations. Like a man can't be a victim of spousal abuse because if they're rich they can just leave and they're bigger and stronger so they could stop it if they wanted to.
No.
Money doesn't take away feelings. Yes Jensen is probably wealthy beyond most people's wildest dreams but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel hurt, frustrated, humiliated, used, objectified, ignored, misunderstood, angry, or any other emotion.
Especially when a lot of this revolves around him being sexually objectified. When people write this explicit fanfic about Dean, they're describing Jensen's body. When they draw their pornographic fan art, they're drawing Jensen's face. Yes he's close to the character and very protective of him and if you stop and think for a minute it becomes extremely clear why.
Sure I liked Supernatural as a show, but like a lot of us, I got suckered in by J2 to love it. It was seeing their panels and bloopers, their relationship and the men they are that made the show more than just something to entertain my eyeballs. So for Mishap's vile minions to be saying that we should be fine with fan interpretations and they're more important than Jared or Jensen being harassed like this, I can't be quiet.
Don't you dare think that there is anything about Supernatural, past or present, that I would put in front of them.
Including the fandom at large. Including friends I have made through the fandom. Of course it benefits the hellers if we say it's ok and let it slide. It also enables them because there's no backlash. This has to last. I'm autistic; we have strong principles. We have a strong sense of right and wrong. One of my principles is apparently now to defend Jensen over being frustrated with questions about people's rape and SA fantasies involving him years after the show ended. Because you know what? That's what they boil down to. Creating porn using him. In a manner that he isn't comfortable with.
Jensen is a public figure but he is not public property.
And believe me, when the next thing comes up with Jared, I'll do the same for him. As far as I've seen, it isn't as sexual with him more just your run of the mill weaponised abelism (which as a disabled person I'm extremely used to seeing) because of his openness and advocacy about mental health. Thank God those people don't claim to be the majority of fans like hellers do so it hasn't bled into my personal feed.
For now, I'm being nice to people. I will not stay nice for long. And I am totally done interacting with Mishap. It may surprise people but on his social media, I would only comment when I had something positive to say. He was sometimes right about things. His political takes were sometimes good. The part of me that believes there's good in everyone and that you should be a positive light even hoped that if he saw better engagement on his non Destiel bullshit he would grow and pivot away from that to being relevant.
But at the end of the day, Supernatural is Sam and Dean, and Sam and Dean are Jared and Jensen. Nothing besides them matters and they are the authority on everything about it.
They're who I'm here for. And I'm pretty sure that's the case for a LOT of the audience.
