#j2 dynamic

[wrdlbrmpfd]

This is for that tinhat anon. It's been five years since J2 stopped working together for hours on end. PR, real chemistry, complicity—for all of that to work, the people involved need to be around each other for longer periods of time. J2's panels are enjoyable because they'll always have some of that spark, and we know they still talk and hang out, but that will never be comparable to when they worked together. I'm not a tinhat, but I can say that J2 has changed not only because of that infamous conflict, but also because they're simply no longer that unit that experienced their daily lives in the same way. Before, there were anecdotes, conversations full of complicity, what happened on the show was fresh information, and there were also expectations of what would happen next. The cons were important events because they were full of this material, which is why they feel more "empty" now, because now they're just recycling. Interestingly, the recent jib was more fun, and J2 were a little more connected, and why would that be? Unsurprisingly, several days of working together again.

For my tinhat anon 😊

Sorry, It's still me. One funny thing was that the guy was amused by fans' misconjecture, one of which I remember was the fact that the fans thought of Jensen as grumpy. Jensen is definitely very good at playing this act but anyone who knows him knows that it's a facade and a way of joking, which helped him cover up his shyness in the beginning. It's also a game that J2 bring to the stage. Like Jensen, Jared also has his part - it's a dynamic that works on stage. This guy told me that some fans would be surprised to know how sweet Jensen actually was. The funny thing is I remember Jim Beaver once describing him exactly the same way and I think it was Hilarie Burton who said recently during a podcast about how very feminine he is. It's actually a very classic thing, I myself put on a more grumpy mask on the outside but I'm actually a teddy bear on the inside, it's a way of defending myself. And I think Jensen has needed it in his career, Showbiz sucks and he's always been too handsome for his own good.

YES! It's all an act! Someone here called it the "mock diva and laconic grump" dynamic that J2 perfected very early on.

Jensen's shyness is quite well known too. Some would say he's reserved. Jensen himself said this in an interview to a Japanese magazine. (Original link seems broken)

"Yes, I'm very shy, but I do my best to work around it. I know it may seem strange for an actor, but acting is a good way of overcoming this trait. It gives me the opportunity to open up more to others. Also, Jared helps me with this. He has a lot on his plate, poor thing."

And this moment from Star Inside! Supernatural 2005

Traci Dinwiddie (Pamela Barnes on show) once said in a con panel: "Jensen is really shy and Jared brings him out. It's very sweet."

There are plenty of fan accounts of Jensen's sweetness and kindness too - very gentle with kids; pleasant and charming with everyone. Here's just a couple:

Thank you for sharing all the info and your thoughts, anon! I really loved going through all of it 😊

The j2 dynamic has changed drastically hasn’t it? Wow they give off some really off and sour vibes. Never thought it’ll get this bad.

Honestly I don't think so.

Firstly, everyone needs to understand one thing that whatever we see on social media is not the true reflection of celebrity private life. Infact it is not the true reflection of anybody private life, we choose what to post on social media. So to make assumption solely on basis of social media I'd not accurate. There are lot of other factors to come into play.

Now to your question of if the J2 dynamic has changed drastically and gone sour. Then, as I said I don't think it has. The way I see it, the friendship has adapted to next step in J2's life. Again fans don't understand that until last year, J2 spent almost every waking moment together (figuratively, not as partners). So it made sense for them to do things together as they were on same schedule and the fact that genuinely love spending time with each other helped. So, staying in same vicinity + being on same scheduled help them to spend holidays and birthdays together.

Now things have changed with their schedule. Both have different projects in different place at different time. Jared was lucky enough to shot a show in his town. Jensen couldn't so he did the next best thing that is to shift where his show is being shot. No one knows if its temp situation or permanent. So, now J2 are not only in different show with different schedules but also in different city. Unlike before their wives and kids can't spend time together. Now you might think he could let Danneel and kid be in Austin. Then, again I think Jensen needed them to be their with him solely cause he was entering a new territory. SPN was second home to J2 so they were comfortable their, with other project they might take time to get to that level or they might never. No one knows. Moreover, now J2 needs to shed their image of being a single unit and build an image of an individuals. So instead of being together, being alone in public eye will help.

That is why we dont see J2 together every waking moment that doesn't mean they aren't friends anymore. Friendship is a strong bond, now, J2 friendship is more private then public. The prying eyes have lessened they don't feel the need to air everything on social media.

None of us speak to our bffs on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook. if we want to share anything all we do is whatsapp or call the person. And, if the schedule match and their is a free time we meet. I went to India this Christmas and I was able to meet my BFF who live two buildings apart only after three days. It wasn't because we hate each other but because we both had prior commitments, I had my over excited family and my BFF had her job. But when we met on 3rd day it was as if nothing has changed, we spoke about anything and everything's and just spend the entire day together. I didn't feel the need to post that meet on Instagram or Twitter coz those feelings were personal. Same is with J2, now that they are on different zones meetings are difficult but that doesn't mean there is no conversations happening.

Also, this question arised because of recent seperate vacation J2 took for Christmas and New Year. I don't understand, people behave like J2 spend every vacation together. I don't think that is true, if you avoid tinhat theories and look into their timelines. Jared & Family have always went to different cities for vacation. The only vacation that people know J2 took together was that of Turks and Caicos, rest all have been individual vacations. So I don't understand on what basis people think their relationship has changed or freaking out on seperate vacation.
