please analyze jackles eating that cake with his hands behind his back. PLEASE.
Okay so. You asked and I am ANSWERING. The picture in question is above. Look at that man go.
We’re going to start with the less weird part of this particular Jackles Shenanigan: the spectators.
Spectator Number One: Jared. Man’s just chilling in his beanie. Zoom in on his face. Go on. Zoom in. See that? That is not confusion or What-The-Fuck-Jen on his face. That’s more of an Oh-This-Again-Dude? He’s not like jumping up and down or laughing his ass off or showcasing any other Padalecki Flavored Humor Expression. So he’s not shocked. This is, apparently, just in line with what Jensen does off camera. He’s just Like This, and Jared has accepted it. Jared probably also wants cake.
Spectator Number Two: I do not know who this woman is but at least she’s having a normal reaction. If the image of her face could talk it would probably be saying “what the FUCK are you doing” because honestly that’s the sane reaction to have here. She should also, incidentally, have a pretty good look at his ass at this point. I have determined that she is probably the most sane person in the room at this time.
The Cake Itself: Moving on to one of two edible centerpieces in this photo: there are slices of cake on plates on the table, which is VAGUELY reassuring, I think. Here’s the logic for that. He’s not just sticking his whole ass chin and neck in the unmarred top of a totally whole cake. There’s probably a few pieces missing from the side he’s leaning in on, and he’s just taking a bite. As one does.
The Jackles: oh boy. Buckle up. There are SO MANY THINGS. First of all, he is Faceplanting Into A Cake. That’s a pretty big one. I’m not sure why. There’s a Styrofoam cup on the table. Coffee? Maybe he’s sleep deprived? There’s also Coca-Cola. Maybe he’s on a caffeine high and Thought It Was A Good Idea At The Time (spoiler alert: it was not). Few more points on Jensen, we’re gonna break it up into a couple of slots.
Jensen’s Attire: It looks like he’s wearing Dean. I don’t think he is, although I might be wrong. I don’t see any laces on his boots, and Dean tends toward laced up work boots. The Cowboy Boot Style is all Jen (and me, I do that too). Now, and this is interesting. I do not know when exactly this picture was taken (I think it’s fairly recent?) or anything and I do not claim to be an expert in analyzing Jensen’s clothing or anything so this may be Totally Untrue. Take it with a grain of salt. That looks like it might potentially be The Necklace he’s wearing. You know, the bead necklace he and Misha have matching/similar ones of. This might be wrong! I tried to identify the necklace by scouring a truly horrific number of pictures of the man, and was unable. You better appreciate the effort I’m putting in. Moving on. I can’t tell if he has the Always With You charm bracelet next to his watch or not, and I did in fact zoom in and open a photo editor to lighten the photo and generally went way too derangedly far on that.
Jensen Himself: hoo boy. Baby boy do you realize what you’re doing here. First, his face. For all that he’s got it buried in that cake (pun absolutely one hundred percent intended) he looks either like he’s concentrating very hard or he’s dead inside. Possibly both. Possibly Dean is fighting for control of the vessel and yelling in his brain about eating pie instead. Next up, The Stance. Falling completely in line with his omega sensibilities, this motherfucker is presenting. Mostly. That’s definitely an awkward squat with the bowlegs going further out, and that’s definitely his ass sticking out there. Only complaint is he hasn’t quite learned how to arch his back properly, so he mostly looks like those porn videos that are all “Anal Virgin College Boy Pegged By Hot TA In Latin Language Lab Study Hall” where the poor kid doesn’t even know what to do with his hands. Speaking of.
Jensen’s hands: what the fuck bruh. Okay one of them is behind your back instead of, idk, being used to support you so your nostrils don’t fill up with cake. Interesting choice there, bud. That one looks like he’s waiting to get handcuffed. The other one is for some INEXPLICABLE REASON wrapped around the OUTSIDE of his THIGH and then is just kinda. Hanging out there between his legs. What possible purpose is that serving, dude.
In Conclusion: Himbo Manwhore (affectionate)
For legal purposes please do not assume that this is the gospel, it is not and I might very well be wrong about things up there. This is also not intended to be in any way mean or harsh toward Jensen and everything I say I say out of love and more than a little exasperation
Summary: Reader makes a toast in celebration of Jensen’s Birthday.
A/N: This one is in celebration of Jensen Ackles 40th Birthday. I can’t believe he’s 40. Damn, how can a man be that attractive?! It should really be illegal. **Also, for the sake of this fan FICTION, Jensen is not married to Danneel. I love her and their family and would never do anything to disrespect them. ** Italic are the Reader’s speech. It should be easy to follow.
Disclaimer: Gif not mine.
**HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY JENSEN!!**
When did it happen? Where did it even begin? I wasn’t too sure, but one thing was certain, I had fallen in love with my best friend, the best man I’ve ever known. He had been there for me through everything, the good and bad, and in turn I’ve always been there for him no matter what. I was convinced that it was normal for best friends to be this close despite all the jokes about us being practically married always getting thrown our way. We shrugged it off knowing that our relationship was strictly platonic, even though I secretly wished it wasn’t. He was my best friend and I was his.
Way back then, Jay had no idea how madly in love with him I was, but Jared wasn’t one to be fooled. He had instantly become one of our best friends when Jay got the role of Dean Winchester. The three of us even shared an apartment together. Gosh, those were some crazy times. I still have the scars to prove it, mentally and physically.
The crowd laughed, Jensen and Jared sharing a look as the taller of the two patted the other’s shoulder.
I remember the time when Jensen met Danneel. Man, how I wanted to hate her but it was impossible. How she managed to do that? I don’t know. Then they started dating! I was completely furious with their relationship and especially myself for not being able to hate this perfect woman! I know, I’m something else!
More laughter ensued. Danneel lowered her head in hopes to hide the tinge of pink spreading through her cheeks. Misha rubber her back, chuckling softly. “Your ears are red,” he whispered, Danneel, lightly hitting his chest with her clutch purse. You giggled at the sight.
But really, unable to hate her, I eventually moved into a new apartment and shut myself out of his life despite all of his attempts to pull me back in. I am not going to lie; it was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my entire life. I had become a terrible friend and even to this day, I can’t forgive myself. Thinking back, I’ve hurt a few of the people I loved the most, and still love. If it wasn’t for Dee, I don’t think we’d all be the kind of friends we are today.
While I was no longer in Jensen’s life or he in mine, things weren’t going well for Jay and Dee, and eventually it didn’t work out between them. I’ve heard the story from both of them and I am not ashamed to say that I cried like a little… B-word (there’s children around), and as guilty as I felt knowing that they couldn’t be happy together because of me, I no longer have an inch of guilt left in me. If it wasn’t for Danneel, I don’t think that Jay and I would ever be this close, I don’t think all of us would be this close. It was Dee that got us together, as weird as that seems. She is literally an angel.
I will admit, I can never repay her for what she did for us. Not only did she sacrifice her chance at love, she had a plan to get me and Jay together. Locking us together in his room was one hell of an idea. How she managed that was beyond me, the timing was impeccable.
I can remember it like it was yesterday even if it’s been about 20 years ago. Dee called me telling me that Jensen was hurt and that it was bad. I remember the fear I felt. I’ve never drove so fast in my life. Yeah, I see you over there, Dad, don’t shake your head at me. It was an emergency… or so I thought.
When I got to his and Jared’s apartment, I rushed right to his room. When I got to his bedroom door, a heaping mess, I almost ran into Dee. She sent me a sad but yet, content, smile before placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Before she left, she whispered in my ear. Those words… I could never forget what she said to me.
“He’s in love with you, got get’em tiger.”
Your voice cracked a little at the memory, Jensen taking hold of your hand and squeezing it tight, Danneel doing the same with your other hand.
I proceeded into his room as Dee closed the door behind me. Jay was hunched over, his face buried in his hands when I sat next to him. Just seeing him like that made my heart ache. He really looked hurt. When he lifted his head up, the look he gave me made my stomach drop and the butterflies swirl around like a hurricane all at the same time. It was the first time I’d seen him in over 3 months. I was going to tell him how sorry I was when he engulfed me into his arms. At that moment, I broke down hard. I missed him so much that being held by him was too overwhelming. It felt like years since I’ve felt that safe, warm, content, like everything was going to be okay. I was a mess those 3 months I had been away from him and I don’t think I could ever do that again, nor do I ever want to.
We stayed in his room all day as well as all day the next day, cuddled in his bed, only leaving to use the bathroom or grab a snack. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Being wrapped up and consumed by the man I was still head over heals for again was like a dream come true.
After that, things were different – a good different. Everything felt different. We were different. Jay looked at me different, and I could tell that he finally saw my true feelings for him for the first time. No words were needed, it was just… we just knew.
Few months later, as fast as that may seem to some of you, but I’ve known him for most of my life, he had proposed to me in front of all of our family and friends. We weren’t even officially announced as boyfriend and girlfriend before he asked me to marry him. It was like we were still best friends who cuddled more, hugged more, and kissed a lot.
You giggled, the room joining you.
But yeah, he asked me to marry him and my answer? Babe, you wanna tell this part?
“Yeah,” Jensen agreed, standing from his seat between you and Jared. “She told me, ‘is that even a question? Just put a ring on it,’ and so I did.” The room erupted into laughter, along with you and your friends at your table. “Right then, there was not a doubt in my mind that she was the one for me,” Jensen added, leaning down a little to place a chaste, yet loving, kiss on your lips before reclaiming his seat.
Of course I did the whole stereotypical girl crying bit, c’mon now, I’ve got emotions! So yeah, that was my way of saying yes.
The wedding came quickly and our family started. I was now Mrs. Jensen Ackles with our first child on the way. Everything was just perfect, including all the up and downs we had, but we worked them out. We are best friends after all. Even when we weren’t married, we could never leave the day mad at each other, so you could only imagine how tough it was during that 3 months without each other.
With one beautiful child, two more came. Our beautiful twins. Jensen had literally given me everything. He gave me the world. He gave me a life worth living and gave me purpose. Not to sound like I’m idolizing him or anything, but he’s my everything. I feel like God has blessed me with this man, and I know… even if weren’t together I’d still be just as blessed. I know that despite being apart for those 3 months, we would have eventually gotten back together as friends and things would have worked out. Even not together, we would have ended up happy, but I am SO glad that we are. I am so happy that we’re married, partners for life.
You looked down at him, capturing his mossy green orbs with your deep ones.
You have been nothing but a gentleman the whole time I’ve known you, and sweetheart, that’s a long time. You’re caring, kind, compassionate, passionate in more way than one, selfless, talented, adventurist, brave, and so much more. So. Much. More. You are so good with our children that I can’t even begin to explain. You are like Superman but better, no, you’re not a superman, you’re a super human. JJ, Zepp, and Arrow are so lucky to have you as their father, and I’m lucky to have you as my man.
Everyday I’ve been with you has been nothing but the best days of my life, even when we’re going through a tough time, it lets me know how strong we are together. I am so happy to have you in my life, to be able to call you my husband and the father of our children. You’re amazing!
Happy Birthday Babe. 40 never looked so good.
Everyone cheered, raising their glass just as you did, shouting Happy Birthday and other incoherent things, Jensen smiling widely as the corner of his lips reach his eyes. God, you were so in love with this man. Your best friend forever and eternity.

Happy Birthday Babe. 40 never looked so good.
The room went silent, everyone seeming to catch your little announcement, except for Jensen. Jared, Danneel, Gen, Misha, and Victoria were staring with wide eyes and smiled that overtook their entire faces. Jensen had yet to realize anything.
“Son, don’t make me beat you up in front of your wife, kids, and friends!” Jensen’s father shouted from the table next to ours.
Not even a second after Jensen’s eyes widened with uncertainty, whipping his head backwards to look at Jared who’s face said it all.
He turned back to you, his majestic green eyes boring into yours before dipping downwards at your flat stomach. “Did you just say father of four?”
You grinned. “I sure did.”
Tears welled in his eyes before he crashed his lips into yours, love overflowing through you. God, you were so in love with this man. Your best friend forever and eternity.Everyone cheered, raising their glass just as you did, shouting Happy Birthday and other incoherent things, Jensen smiling widely as the corner of his lips reach his eyes.
