Hey there. Just wanted to thank you for posting your J2M op including the backstory. Cockles fandom, of which no-one is more devout than I (I write it also) is in full flail. I was at SF too (I met you in the elevator whilst you were rocking Rowena) and Jensen was in such a good mood that day. I'm beginning to think Misha is not the one to blame at all....
The funny thing is, I’m not even a Cockles shipper (except I do believe that they have a great friendship as do their wives, especially Daneel and Misha). When I saw that pic, I thought of Destiel and kind of forgot how the Cockles fandom would blow up when they saw it. Glad to see people of both ships are enjoying the pic.
I have to say, I was disappointed that we didn’t get any J2M interaction on stage at SFCon. I kept waiting for Misha to crash the J2 panel. The three of them are always so great together. But at the photo op, they seemed to be having a great time together, smiling and laughing with the fans. Too bad we didn’t get any of that on stage, though.

Type Overview:
My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty… it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.
George Washington
The ISTJ personality type is thought to be the most abundant, making up around 13% of the population. Their defining characteristics of integrity, practical logic and tireless dedication to duty make ISTJs a vital core to many families, as well as organizations that uphold traditions, rules and standards, such as law offices, regulatory bodies and even military. ISTJs enjoy taking responsibility for their actions, and take pride in the work they do – when working towards a goal, ISTJs will hold back none of their time and energy completing each relevant task with accuracy and patience.
Owing to their Observant (S) trait, ISTJs are unlikely to make many assumptions, instead analyzing their surroundings, checking their facts and arriving at practical courses of action. ISTJs are no-nonsense, and when they’ve made a decision, they will relay the facts necessary to achieve their goal, expecting others to grasp the situation immediately and to take action. ISTJs have little tolerance for indecisiveness, but will even more quickly lose patience if their chosen course is challenged with competing theories, especially if they seem impractical or ignore details – if a challenge becomes a time-consuming debate, ISTJs will become noticeably angry as deadlines tick nearer.
When ISTJs say they are going to get something done, they do it, meeting their obligations no matter the personal cost, and they are baffled by people who don’t hold their own word in the same respect. Combining laziness and dishonesty is the quickest way to get on ISTJs’ bad side. Consequently, ISTJs often prefer to work alone, or at least have their authority clearly established by hierarchy, where they can set and achieve their goals without debate or worry over other’s reliability.
ISTJs have sharp, fact-based minds, and prefer autonomy and self-sufficiency to reliance on someone or something. Dependency on others is often seen by ISTJs as a weakness, and their passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity forbid falling into such a trap.
This sense of personal integrity is core to ISTJs, and goes beyond their own minds – ISTJs will adhere to established rules and guidelines almost no matter the cost, reporting their own mistakes and telling the truth even when the consequences for doing so could be disastrous. To ISTJs, honesty is far more important than emotional considerations, and their blunt approach leaves others with the false impression that ISTJs are cold, or even robotic. ISTJs may struggle to express emotion or affection outwardly, but the suggestion that they don’t feel, or worse have no personality at all, is deeply hurtful to them.
ISTJs’ dedication is an excellent quality, allowing them to accomplish much, but it is also a core weakness that less scrupulous individuals will take advantage of. ISTJs seek stability and security, considering it their duty to maintain a smooth operation, and they may find that their coworkers and significant others will shift their responsibilities onto them, knowing that they will always take up the slack. ISTJs tend to keep their opinions to themselves and let the facts do the talking, but it can be a long time before observable evidence tells the whole story.
ISTJs need to remember to take care of themselves – their stubborn dedication to maintaining stability and efficiency can compromise those goals in the long term as others lean ever-harder on them, creating an emotional strain that can go unexpressed for years, only finally coming out after it’s too late to fix. If they can find coworkers and spouses who genuinely appreciate and complement their qualities, who enjoy the brightness, clarity and dependability that they offer, ISTJs will find that their stabilizing role is a tremendously satisfying one, knowing that they are part of a system that works.
Hey there. I was just checking on my fic (I'm Serenhawk on AO3, I write Cockles, lord help me) and saw you had read and left kudos on them all recently, which totally made my day because I've followed your blog for ages and love your writing (Painted Angels, ugh feels!). So I just wanted to say thank you! <3 (Also, I've just published another in the series - short & sweet, although not so sweet for Misha, oops). Have a lovely day :D
Ah, yes, The Cockles Digest series. Good stuff!!
Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it so much.
All the rest of you, if you like the Cockles, go read the Cockles. It’s YUMMY.
Hi, just wanted to say a quick thanks for putting your response/thoughts out there to the NerdHQ 'incident'. (Another day, another debacle in the SPN fandom!) I'm mostly sorry that your actual question wasn't answered in the panel (being somewhat misappropriated by Jared & Aisha) as I would have really liked to have heard the answer. Many of us are annoyed we didn't get to hear whatever Misha clearly wanted to add. Otherwise it looks like you had a spectacular weekend :)
I'm SO GLAD that NerdHQ showed that one part where Misha wanted to say something. You don't realize it but they actually cut a lot of footage out, he was actually kinda interrupted when Aisha started talking. You could tell he was kind of on alert to say something the entire time but alas Jared decided to "speak for the cast" and leave it at that.
I have to say that even though there were some fans that acted towards my question in a hostile manner, I am loving the reaction so far. I never expected the question to get this much attention and I'm very happy for it. As nice as it would have been to hear an honest answer to my question from Jared, the alternative shines light on what some cast members really think of the show. I hope this convinces Jared & cast members who agree with him that you can have a show on television with complex female actors who don't distract from the show's main premise. I just hope they listen to what those of us are saying and not hearing it as mindless complaining.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed my response. I've always been super into promoting diversity on television and it seemed like this was my only chance to say something and have people actually be interested in my words. And yes, my weekend was absolutely amazing! SDCC will forever be my favorite place on the planet. :)
