J2 - hotels

——————————

Jared: “So we go up to the front desk and we’re like, ‘we just need a room for like two hours.’ In an airport hotel, yeah. We’re caked in makeup. We wanted a discount...”

Jensen: “-it was like, ‘no, we’re gonna have to clean the sheets.’ You know, around me he’ll...he sweats-...I’ll stop talking.”

Jared: “-makeup rubs off on the pillow-, oh...that’s not...”

Jensen: “Because you sleep on your stomach. That’s why the...”

Lol! This will never, ever, EVER get old. Literally every minuscule part of this entire interaction is perfect.

——————————

(still-shots)

Misha: “The first convention I went to with you guys was Australia, and we were getting ready to go out somewhere, and I knocked on Jared’s door. And he came to the door and he’s got a towel wrapped around him, and he’s like, ‘hold on, I’m just trying to put the doors back on the closet.’”

(you guys allllll remember this one, I know you do) 😏

Jared: “That’s actually true (indicates himself and Jensen). We were listening to some music, and uh...something just told us to bust the doors down.”

*chuckles*

Jared could have chosen not to reveal that Jensen had been there in his hotel room at the time (since Misha decided not to mention that part), but...nope!

Jared was naked except for a towel...

He and Jensen had broken the closet door...

•

•

•

They were 100% rough-fucking up against the wall while they blasted some music to hopefully drown out their sex noises and that is the literal only reality of the situation.

——————————

Jared: “I did fight off a ghost at the Driscoll Hotel in Austin. But just with my words. With kindness. Just like, ‘hey ghosts, I know you’re here...we’re on a date night, we don’t need a visit.’”

Jensen (getting swept up in the moment and temporarily forgetting himself): “I’d make fun of him, but I’ve only had it that one time- (already realizing what his mouth is saying and panicking about it)”

shit

uhhhhhh.....

“-too...uhhh...it’s only happened to me one time, too...”

(some color stills of Jensen realizing he practically just admitted out loud to being with Jared on ‘date night’ in a hotel in Austin)

[nothingidputbeforeyou]

I swear that God is there every time I stare into the eyes of my best friend.

Jensen singing to Jared at SFCon for anon. (X,X)

[decodingj2andco-blog]

Jensen changed the wording a tiny bit.

The original is, But I swear that God is there every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend

https://sturgillsimpson.bandcamp.com/track/turtles-all-the-way-down

Apart from singing that verse to Jared, I thought it was interesting that he picked a song so critical of religion.

[j2believers-deactivated20190417]

That IS very interesting. Just like his remake of “Angeles” was a criticism of his career of choice. I often wonder how much these songs resonate with him?

That line in the Sturgill song, even w/ the slight change, was sweet, but the one that really caught me was “But love’s the only thing that ever saved my life.” Was he talking about himself, or Jared?

[decodingj2andco-blog]

I think Jensen, like Jared, pick songs that resonate with their lives. They really seem to be people who care about a song’s meaning.

I agree, it is very sweet. He is such a sappy husband ha. I, too, thought the line about love saving his life was probably about him & Jared.

It’s interesting that he picks song so critical of religion yet still goes to church.

[hotdamnj2]

I don’t think the song is really about religion. I have watched many interviews with Sturgill and he says this song is actually about drugs and chasing the next high. But that is the wonderful thing about music, it can be mean different things to different people.

When Jensen sings it, I feel like he is essentially saying that Jared is equivalent to God in his eyes.

That’s my interpretation of Jensen’s version of the song. It was a beautiful moment. I think it was maybe an NPR desk concert on YouTube where Sturgill discusses this.

[decodingj2andco-blog]

You’re partly correct. He has stated here that it’s mostly about drugs.

Sturgill explains the meaning behind the song here. It’s about religion.

“When Jensen sings it, I feel like he is essentially saying that Jared is equivalent to God in his eyes”

I agree with this assessment. I think that is why he sang that particular verse to Jared.

[not-a-perfect-metaphor]

5 dirrrty dirty J2-isms that are the best ever-

******

1. Jared: “Right in my face.”

Jensen: “You would like that, wouldn’t you?”

His expression! Good grief!

******

2. The line they’ve been working on has the phrase ‘not just a cheap trick’ in it-

Jensen (to Jared): “You’re a cheap trick. Little slut.”

I mean.....

******

3. Jensen says that he would have a genie grant him a bigger boat for his one wish, which almost immediately becomes a metaphor for talking about dicks after that, and then-

Jared: “Where would you put it?”

Jared (answering his own question): “I’ll tell you where you can put it...”

*smirky laughy winky flirty*

I’m just going to stop commenting. What more is there to even add to these?

******

4. Jared says “ooohhh” all dirtily and refers to it as his phone sex voice.

*Jensen whispers something that is 100% the filthiest thing imaginable to Jared, and Jared almost can’t even handle it*

Jared: “I’m not gonna repeat what he just said.”

Jensen has to get up and recompose himself.

Jared: “What happens on this side of the speaker stays on this side of the speaker.”

******

5. Jensen (about Jared writing his F.D.E.I.B chapter while on their Turks & Caicos vacation which was already the gayest vacation ever for so many different reasons even without this):

“What are you doing? Pffft. You know we’re on vacation, right?”

Jared: “He was in his little man speedo at the time.”

Skip ahead since I’m running out of image space to Jared talking about Jensen being “excited” in his speedo and Jensen adding that his excitement “was hard to hide...”

And then finally, Jared starts referring to Jensen’s dick as candy in his pocket, and we end up here-

Jensen: “It’s a deep pocket. It has lots of treats...”

******

Oh boys....

Jared Padalecki Featured in the Jan/Feb 2021 issue of Men’s Health Magazine

[canonicallysoulmates-deactivate]

Last year, I did a post looking back at some of the j2 moments 2019 and the 2010’s decade had given us, this year with it being so shit and so many of us needing some cheering up I thought I’d do a 2020 version.

So before we say fuck off to 2020 here are some of the j2 moments this year has given us:

SM isn’t everything but it’s still cute when the boys interact with each other online and the year actually started with it, with both boys liking each other’s New Year’s pictures with their kiddos:

X

Those weren’t the only SM interactions, on a more recent example by which I mean December they had this cute little exchange under a pic Jared posted were he was sleeping:

XX

And Jensen liked this cute pic of his smiling boy:

XX

Of course nothing compares to the best SM moment of the year: Jared’s beautiful, emotional, touching, heartfelt birthday message for Jensen 🥺:

And Jensen’s reply ❤:

X

Before everything went under lockdown we got one convention, among the moments we got from it were:

- Jared talking about his birthday post to Jensen, calling Jensen his boy and saying that he has pictures of him and Jensen just hanging out on his phone

- Fist bump

- And a hug

full gifset

To me one of the best j2 moments 2020 gave us was the release of this amazing EW photoshoot that I will forever be in love with (especially this cover I will never be over this cover) 😍

This photoshoot was the gift that kept on giving! Not only did we get beautiful new photos of the boys, but we also got some amazing content from the bts like

full gifset

Look at them! The way Jensen closes his eyes and leans into Jared, the way they look at each other this is what love looks like people! 🥰 Find someone who will look at you like how j2 look are looking at each other in that gif. 

And even the accompanying interview gave us a little something with Jared saying that he burrowed strength from Jensen when he was struggling with the job

Padalecki, 37, who’s been vocal about his struggle in the early seasons, says. “I borrowed strength from Jensen.” x

And this is barely the tip of the iceberg I’m just providing some examples of what that photoshoot gave us but it was a feast!

Summer seemed to be the never ending dry spell, many wondered ‘will we ever get j2 content again?’ and the answer was…yes!

Starting with a little interview the boys did with small moments such as

full gifset

And Jensen confirming he and Jared still live near one another.

When Jensen appeared for the second time on Rosenbaum’s podcast he spend a good part of it being fond over Jared and making them sound totally married sharing a story about Jared’s preferred breakfast burrito and how he and Jared have bickered over it and of course starting of the panel by making it clear covid or no covid him and Jared would be making out:

full gifset

The boys had a joint virtual Q&A panel filled with moments, they were joking around, they made each other laugh, and it all started with Jensen saying how handsome Jared looked.

When filming wrapped up Jared and Jensen had their own celebration with dinner and champagne at one of their favorite restaurants:

“Jared and I wrapped on Thursday, and Saturday night he and I went to one of our all-time favorite restaurants, just us, and toasted with some champagne,” Ackles says. x

Those two can’t get enough of each other so they road tripped part of the way home together!

“He and I just drove together all of our stuff across the border. So, we drove up together for season 1 and we drove away together for season 15.” - Jensen in the Chelsea Davis interview

Jared mentioning their road trip during a TVLine interview & during a TVInsider interview 

With Supernatural coming to an end a lot of interviews took place and provided us with content:

The Talk interview gave us a married moment, when the boys were asked who had the messier dressing room Jensen replied Jared did to which Jared literally went no sir, no sir. 

The CNN interview had the boys admitting not working together will be an adjustment with Jensen saying “So, it will be different, and that’s probably when he and I will call each other and be like, ‘I miss you so much!’” as well as this moment  “Oh, I thought you meant we fell in love,” Ackles quips.“We fell in love, too,” Padalecki jokes. When I add that plotline was only in fan fiction, Ackles retorts, “Or was it?” Padalecki erupts in laughter. “There it goes the internet.”

In an interview with Chelsea Davis Jensen once again brought up that him and Jared will be contacting each other from their new shows

“Jared said it, he’s like I don’t think it’s really gonna set in until we walk unto the set of some other show. But that’s fine cause then we’ll just turn around and call each other and be like ‘what’s your show like?’”

Jared having a little fond moment over Jensen during one of the TVline segments

Jensen saying that 15yrs ago him and Jared got on a rollercoaster (Supernatural) and that he couldn’t have asked for a better partner:

full gifset

Jared comparing him and Jensen finishing the show to the time they ran the Seattle Marathon together (yes, the marathon they ran together and crossed the finish line holding hands) 😭❤: 

“There were a lot of tears all over but Ackles and I were looking at each other like, ‘Man’. It was kind of like finishing the Seattle Marathon. We did it. Dude, we did it, you know? We put in the work…I’ve been with you for 15 years, 15-½ years. I’ve seen you sweat. I’ve seen you bleed. I’ve seen you hurt. I’ve seen you going through stuff personally and put it aside for this show, for your character and I know I’ve done the same and it was bittersweet.”  x

Jensen talking about his and Jared’s Impala’s in the USA Today interview

Ackles says he was “floored” by the gift: “And it’s cool, because now Jared and I can just drag-race around Austin.”

“If we get pulled over, it’d be like, ‘Don’t worry. FBI Agent Robert Plant,’" Padalecki adds.

“We’ve got FBI badges in the glove box,” Ackles confirms.

The last virtual panel of the year was Jared’s and it was full of love for Jensen; Jared mentioned him often, unprompted he shared the story of when the twins were born and how hectic it was for him and Jensen to return to Austin in time for their birth honestly hearing him talk about it it’s clear how important that day was for him too and it’s just so sweet, he said him and Jensen will definitely work together again and he hopes it’ll be sooner rather than later, also said Jensen has a standing invitation to do whatever he wants on Walker, and implied he’s already looked at his schedule to see if he could make it up to Toronto where Jensen will be working in 2021. 

And these are just some moments; I know that with everything going on and time losing all meaning it might have seemed like we had a j2-less year but as you can see that’s not true cause not even a pandemic or this hellish year were able to stop or dim the beauty that is j2 and their relationship. 

This men make me so ridiculously happy, and with this being such a hard year for all of us, for some more than others, it makes me all that extra grateful for them and to them for bringing a smile to my face. I hope that with this post they will bring a smile to yours. I personally am looking forward to seeing what j2 goodies 2021 gives us, I’m hopeful there’ll be plenty, our boys have new projects coming out, God willing cons will be able to pick up again in a safe way, and there’ll be even more j2 content to enjoy. 

Until then, stay safe, take care of yourselves, and Happy New Years my fellow tinhats! ❤

I think Jensen is trying to tell us something (beware long post)

check this out

x  6 weeks later

x  very interesting

wait it’s not over?

x 40 minutes later

x  mmmmmmm i think i’m seeing a pattern

x

ok that’s a lot of reference to you and jared as a couple, jensen

man what could all this possibly mean?

but wait, there’s more

x

ooook subtlety clearly isn’t part of jensen’s vocabulary

x wow what?? 

AAAAAND im done, alright, i got your message sir it’s loud and clear and very repetitive, we get it, we really do

honestly the only way Jensen could be more obvious that he’s in a romantic and sexual relationship with Jared would be if he called Jared baby in front of everyone am i right??? lol!!! as if that’d happen though…

x  oh

OH

[slut-for-jared]

They couldn’t be more obvious if they tried

[not-a-perfect-metaphor]

Jensen: “We’re not having a kid.”

(WE’RE not having A kid)

Jared: “No, we’re not having any kids. Not yet.”

Fast forward to-

“We have one and a half [kids].”

Fast forward again to-

“We have three young beautiful daughters.”

And-

——————————

Bonus section-

Jared (about himself and Jensen): “We didn’t get to see our family last week, but that being said, our kids get to see their parents doing something that they love.”

Jensen: “We got to spend some time with our family yesterday, and we let the kids run around...”

Jared (about their Turks & Caicos vacation): “-he knows, because we went there as a family...”

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Daddies 🥰😍

Before we say goodbye to 2019 and with it the decade of the 2010′s I wanted to go through some of the j2 moments the decade has given us:

Like this classic from LACon 2011 where Jensen said he gets to sleep with one of the stars of the show:

Can’t do a list of j2 moments through the decade without including them getting matching tattoos at JDM’s wedding this year! (2019):

This beautiful hug at the end of their jaxcon panel (2019):

So many moments! And these are just some of them! This is in no way a complete list there’s many more hugs, and butt slaps, and touches, and heart eyes, and stories, and slip ups, and inside jokes and whispers that have happened in the past 10 years! 

The 2010′s have had its hat ups and downs, there’s been dry spells and heavy bearding seasons and some dramas but it’s also given us some amazing moments! And through it all one thing has remained steady… j2′s love for each other. Their connection. Their bond. They’ve been together for 15 years, that’s longer than a decade you guys, that’s a decade and a half and they still look at each other with all that love, that’s beautiful ❤

I look forward to all the j2 goodies 2020 (and the 2020′s) gives us; Happy New Years my fellow tinhats!

Jared making Jensen laugh is my favorite thing 😍 [Torcon 2017]

[canonicallysoulmates-deactivate]

What j2 will miss most about working with each other ❤

[canonicallysoulmates-deactivate]

Jared’s little smile and, dare I say, fondly saying “We both did” when Jensen said he broke character during the emotional final moments of filming 🥺 x

[canonicallysoulmates-deactivate]

“Jared said it, he’s like I don’t think it’s really gonna set in until we walk unto the set of another show. But that’s fine cause then we’ll just turn around and call each other and be like ‘what’s your show like?’” 

“He and I just drove together all of our stuff across the border. So, we drove up together for season 1 and we drove away together for season 15.”

[canonicallysoulmates-deactivate]

Un, if you're still doing the top 5 asks: 5 most heart eyes moments from Jared, and 5 from Jensen, please. Thank you 😊❤

Anon, I know you send me this ask forever ago, I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but please know that I am incredibly happy to have gotten this question because I absolutely love their heart eyes! And one of the reasons this took me so long to answer is because there are so many heart eye moments from these two but without further ado:

5 of my favorite 😍 Jared moments:

1. I know I have brought up this pic/moment before but it’s truly one of my favs. There’s just something so tender and intimate about it, it’s pure love right before your eyes ❤. JIB10. 

2. Look at this puppy with his fluffy hair and his little smile looking all fondly at his man. I’m not saying I’ve looked at this gif and thought this is what Jared might look like giving Jensen heart eyes, early in the morning when they’ve just woken up and is still all sleepy but I’m not denying it either. DCcon 2017.

gifset

3. Jared fonding over Jensen smiling? Yes, please ❤ Vancon 2019.

4. The gentle look combined with rubbing Jensen’s shoulder, need I say more. Dallascon 2013.

gifset

5. What must it be like to have someone love you so much that they’ll look at you as if you hung the moon, the sun, the stars and the whole goddamn universe. Torcon 2011. 

5 of my favorite 😍 Jensen moments

1. I can’t do a top j2 heart eyes and not include this moment that’d be borderline blasphemous. 

2. Again I ask, what must it be like to have someone love you so much that they’ll look at you as if you hung the moon, the sun, the stars and the whole goddamn universe.  

gifset

3. You know that scene in romcoms where character a is so in love with their love interest that they get distracted and suffer some kind of mishap? That literally happened to Jensen because he got distracted staring at Jared. He was a goner for that boy from the beginning. 

gifset

4.  Alexa, play ‘Can’t take my eyes off you’. Houscon 2017.

5. This was so cute 🥰. JIB9.

+ Bonus! Double heart eyes. Minncon 2017.

Top 5 J2 tinhat moments

I’m gonna be honest this is pretty much just a continuation of this: Top 5 j2 moments. 

1. Jared wiping his nose on Jensen’s sleeve. Burcon 2016. To this day I have never seen anything more couple-y. And actually, I know couples who wouldn’t even do this!

2.  The iconic 2015 Father’s Day tweet

3. Jared comparing his and Jensen’s relationship to a marriage and giving some solid relationship advice. Minncon2017.

4. Jared saying Jensen inspired him for AKF. NJCon2018.

5. This iconic bts photo. 

[maspwinj2]

mmmmm look what we got here:

-Jared at Jaxcon January 2016 says he was in a restaurant in Italy with Gen and accidentally insulted the waiter 

-Jensen at Asylum con May 2016 says he was in a restaurant in Italy with Jared who accidentally insulted the waiter

mmmmm what could it possibly mean? … Oh I know! it’s j2 being terrible liars AS USUAL lmao

and in both cases they remember this little story while they’re trying to do accents so i’m gonna link again that accents video where they also messed up

those guys are incredible they always end up proving that those stories with their wives are actually complete and utter BULLSHIT. no but thanks guys! for making our lives easier. Really i appreciate it! lol

also we can see on the jaxcon video that when jared says “ we ran off on our own, went to Tuscany and some others places…” jensen is looking up, like he’s thinking and i’m no body language expert but to me it looks like he’s trying to remember what he and jared did at that time, trying to find those memories from a while ago

and also while jared says that, it looks like he’s turning towards jensen as if he wants jensen to confirm what he’s saying like “yeah we went to tuscany remember?” but then he realises he’s supposed to be alone with GEN so he turns back to the audience

no but seriously j2 having their little getaway in Italy together is SO FUCKING CUTE, imagine all the possibilities!!

and i love when they finish the story during asylum jensen insists saying “you did that, you did” really assuring that he was there and that he saw it happen

thanks so much to the anon who told me about this cos i had no idea!!!

i put the video on Twitter and Youtube
