This question concerns the Cockles Breakup Theory and has probably been covered in the past, but it really vexes me, so here goes: I was watching the full-length clip that is the source of the oft-shared gif where Jensen walks over to Misha at a Con fan Q&A event and proceeds to tenderly caress his face in a way that is not BRO in the slightest. In a way it looks like Misha just doesn't react except to turn his head to see whodunit, as if anyone else would've handled his face with such care+
im sorry i dont know if you meant to send another message or not but this is the only one that's in my inbox (i am assuming you meant to send more because you said you have a question but i don't see a question in this message)

So sorry about pt. 2 not sending! My question concerns when you think Jensen & Misha finally got back together after the breakup. The May 2012 Jibcon panel clearly was during the breakup, for example, but by the end it's so clear they love each other and wish to be together. So perhaps sometime after that Jibcon and before Aug. 2012 ComicCon...?
i definitely think that by the time they went to sdcc in july 2012, they were on good terms again, but it has that kind of careful âweâre trying to slowly get back to normalâ energy to me. so iâm not sure if by then, theyâd have completely buried the hatchet and got back together. i do think that by the time they were back to filming (in august) they got closer and closer and by the time they were done filming the purgatory arch they were back together for sure.
Thank you so much for this level of detail! Thatâs what I was looking for, and I knew youâd know :)
Having said that, I confess to feeling a bit sad these days with all The Boys hoopla and the reminder that Jensenâs going through a big life change and Misha is not (directly) a part of it. I even feel a bit.......unsettled, if thatâs the right emotion? Because of course I want them to last forever. I always imagine they talk every night and catch up on the dayâs business, and if nothing else just whisper sweet nothings before sleep. I mean, in a way, this is heavy business. It centers around one of lifeâs imponderables: Can two people continue to love each other just as much, even through long separations and life changes? Of course we know it happens but my point is, I just get sad when I see Misha these days. Maybe Iâm projecting but when heâs at home, he sometimes looks a bit lost. Incomplete. Like in the recently posted Cameo when itâs sunrise and heâs been up since 4:30. Why? Who does that? And why am I talking about this? I guess I just appreciate your sympathetic ear, gunshot. Thank you.
I hear ya.
It does make me a bit sad.
But I think if Canada was open and didnât require quarantine still, even for fully vaxxed folks, that there would have been visits during filming.
I donât think it has anything to do with anything more than circumstances.
Though, Iâm sure, like you said, they talk and FaceTime A LOT.
The good news?
When he comes home, heâll be home for a while.
As far as I know, he has nothing else planned. Except maybe projects to oversee for Chaos Machine.
And I truly think one of those projects involves Misha in some way.
I do want to add my two cents about the jib3 panel though.
While they may not have been on great terms, I do think things were getting better and at least the door had been opened.
This is pure tinhatting based on the speculated cockles kiss backstage. I think this is where J let Mish know he was serious. That this was going to work and he was going to do whatever he had to, in order to make it work.
And part of that, was telling their friends. And not being afraid to be himself around the people he loves and considers family.
Or maybe Iâm too much of a romantic and itâs just wishful thinking.

Folks looking at Misha like he's sitting at home sad and depressed about Jensen. I love cockles but let's not act like Misha has no life outside of Jensen's presence. He has a whole wife he loves and their kids that he finally gets to spend time with. They got up at 4:30 to view a lunar phenomenon and he joked he got stuck on the roof in that one post.đ
The man is busy. He's running and planning Gish events. He's running RA. He's working on his book. He's developing his show. He's working on other things behind the scenes we know nothing about. He's working with the For The People Act and other political activism he has going on. Mans got multiple things going on that has nothing to do with Jensen. But he may also be helping develope something with Jensen and Dee's new production company (much how he and Vicki had a small hand in FBBC). Also Misha could be working to develope something with Darius.
Yes, it's not as high profile as The Boys but he's busy. He's self employed making his own decisions in what *he* wants to do. He's not beholden to a studio(especially one that treated him like shit for 12 years). And all of this while still healing from surgery. Man's is thriving and living his best life the way he wants. And yes that includes Jensen in some capacity.
I donât think anyone meant to imply that he wasnât thriving or busy with his own things.
I know I certainly didnât.
But I dated a guy in the military. He literally got 30 days of leave the first year. The entire first year. 30 days. And I didnât get to see him all of those 30 days because some were travel days and others he spent with his family and didnât see me.
I had other things I was doing and working.
But man, did it suuuuuuck.
I appeared happy and content with my life, still saw friends, still worked and went to school. Still had hobbies and school activities. But I was freaking miserable.
And yeah, Iâm sure heâs super happy and excited to be able to spend so much time with Vicki and the kids. Especially since itâs quality time that he wasnât able to really give them before.
But Iâm sure itâs still very raw and emotional to not have Jensen in the same country, let alone nearby. Especially when spending over a decade being able to see each other frequently on set or having the ability to hop on a plane or in the car to see each other.
Now, not only are they no longer working together, thereâs a global pandemic keeping them from being able to just jump on a plane to see each other.
So, while they knew it was going to be difficult and an adjustment, Iâm sure itâs much worse than they could have prepared themselves for due to the state of the world.
I feel bad for not just them, but everyone who has been separated from their loved ones because of this.
My reply was towards the anon. I have no doubt they miss each other. That's a given.

The question of who gets up at 4 in the morning to watch a sunrise? Well, people who like watching sunrises and people who meditate regularly. When I participate in a sesshin, wake up call is usually 4-4:30. And depending on how many days that lasts, it's REALLY hard to get back to waking at a later time.
