Yeah, I don’t actually buy Jensen being more dominant than Jared. Jensen acts like the dominant one, but Jared is the very clear leader. On set and onstage, Jared is usually the one who is more comfortable, more able to give his opinion without trying to make everyone happy like Jensen does.
I know this anon meant sexually, too. But I don’t necessarily see that either. It’s hard to say what anyone’s relationship dynamic is actually like, sexual or not, unless you are part of it, but I think the J2 persona is very much for stage than truly reflecting their interactions bts.
I think Jared is incredibly comfortable with who he is as a man. I know he has anxiety that can flare up. But I think he sometimes does the more “girly” or flouncy movements, and etc. purely for fun.
I know who you are in the bedroom isn’t necessarily who you are in the rest of your life, but while Jared plays up little brother, the “girly” role, he is the leader. JIBs without him feel like something is missing from a leadership department. He was the one standing up for people on set and bts. He takes control of shutting down fans when they are going to far with weird questions at cons.
Also, Jensen, when giving hugs on stage often takes the over arm hug, but in many pictures, he’s actually slotted in under Jared’s arm, or he used to always leap into Jared seems, getting piggy back rides, etc.
I do think that the knocking thing on the desk and Jared’s response is interesting. But it also could indicate that Jared has Jensen trained to alert him, like he has his dog trained to let him him know because he bites his main subconsciously.
Anyway, I’m not necessarily any more right than the next person, but if I had to guess, I think Jared is actually more dominant nature than Jensen. Bedroom and life. He’s just very kind along with it.
Jensen postures, Jared just is Alpha.
Valid points, anon. And yes, Jared is a leader, despite his anxiety issues he's confident (I know this seems like an oxymoron but it isn't) and despite his happy-go-lucky nature I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of him having issues with something. I believe him to be very stern if something is bothering him.
I agree with you about Jensen posturing in public but I want to mention that the dominant part in BDSM doesn't need to be "alpha" or what society thinks as "manly" - if you get what I mean. Dominance (and BDSM itself) is such a vast field and I know Doms who are so subtle and quiet but have such a fine tuned "machinery" with their subs that outside of the BDSM world nobody notices what's going on.
Of course regarding J2 this is all pure speculations, I just try to recognize patterns and build a puzzle with them.
