#jensen's acting choices

[emeraldsummers]

Sometimes I remember that the only reason Cas is canonically a weirdo even by angel standards is just because Misha, the first onscreen angel, made the acting choice to portray angels as inhuman and eerie, and then all of the subsequent angel actors just ignored that and portrayed the angels as regular people.

#misha: stares unblinkingly at jensen and puts on a funny voice. everyone else: yeah nahhhh #so much of the acting choices on that show were “idk i felt like it” like was there even a director????? #spn #supernatural #castiel #misha collins #this isnt an actual critique or anything its just funny #also weirdo is being used affectionately i love cas to death

[drulalovescas]

Actually I blame me shipping Destiel on Jensen Ackles and all his acting choices

#we wouldn't be in this mess if he hadn't made all those acting choices #destiel #jensen ackles #supernatural #spn #spn 7x2 #spn 8x7 #spn 9x3 #spn 12x23 #spn 13x1 #spn 14x12 #spn 15x9

[sky-is-the-limit]

This scene is so tragically funny to me because the people sitting around them were probably thinking that they were such a cute couple on a date who can't get enough of each other, sharing food, so in love that they're all giggly throwing heart eyes left and right when in reality Dean was asking his angel boyfriend to kill him in various ways.

Just for science I’d like to see the Supernatural from a universe where Jensen and Misha aren’t Like That

#yknow just to see how much of destiel exists because they cannot be normal about eachother #cockles #this post is sponsored by the gifs I just saw of angel heart where dean has his hand on Cas’ shoulder while entering the motel #something that is very Jensen and I’m not sure if it was an intentional acting choice #txt

[theyarebothgunshot]

So now we know Jensen lurks on Twitter and loves watching Tik Tok, it’s not a stretch to think he’s at least aware of what happens over here. Do you think he knows about Pray for Jensen, or Nesnej, or Jacting Joices?

🦤

god i really hope not lmao

#but like you said chances are he does #at the very least someone else told him about it #i remember misha joking about jensens acting choices #so... yeah who knows lmao #dodo anon

Wondering about other people opinions on something. What are your favourite times our main characters were played by other actors, your favourite times our main actors played their character as someone else, like possessed or whatnot, favourite times they were in an altered state and what were your least fav instances of any of these.

Mine are:

Other actors:

1. Colin Ford as young Jared. He just nailed it so well when I read young Sam fics I picture CF.

2. The actor who played young Dean at the boys home and when Dean is de-aged must have studied Jensen because he also was just so Dean to me. Also shout out to the actor who played him in after school special he was also great.

3. Young John and Mary. I just loved them. This shows casting department was just so phenomenal on all levels.

HM to the woman Crowley possessed and had the orgy. She was awesome, lol.

Now for the good stuff...

Other versions:

1. While I think Jared was outstanding every single time he was someone else MY fav was Gadreel. The way Jared changed his body language and speech pattern to match that of TP was brilliant. Even without the blue eye flash I knew which character was on the screen. even when he faked Dean out at the end there were differences.

2. Dean/Jen as Michael. Omg he made that character awesome. I also liked Jake and Matt in the role but Jensen just killed it. Au Michael wasn't bad either just not as good and gets blown out of my head after Jen.

3. Misha/Cas as Lucifer. I really like how Misha channelled MP in his Lucifer. I mean I absolutely love jareds Lucifer too but I'm going to give it to Misha here.

Adding a 4th here which is John as Azazel. JDM was so good I got chills the first time I watched it.

HM to Jared/Sam playing Gary, the kid in the body swap. God Jared made me laugh in an EP I don't even care for other than that performance.

Fav other version.

1 and 2 tie. Soulless Sam and Demon Dean. First the hotness of both like, wow. Also both actors just nail these versions of their characters. The acting in both cases was phenomenal IMO and both characters crack me up.

3. Crazy Sam. season seven broken Sam was spectacular to me. The journey he goes through in his mind and finally as his body deteriorates from the no sleep and mental damage "Lucifer" is inflicting were played so well. The writers kind of dropped the ball a bit in the middle of the season but Jared was always spot on. Born again identity is on my (too large) favourites list because I can feel Sam's exhaustion and what he's going through. Love it.

HM to Misha with Crazy Cas. Another thing I loved in season seven and still wish I could have had more of. Oh man Cas and the Bees and just all of it, wonderful.

HM to purgatory Dean. While not altered like being a demon I think they wrote Dean in such a great way showing the impact a year in nothing but survival mode did to Dean. I like how Jensen plays him as almost having PTSD, jumpy and just always on and taking everything in like he can't quite relax. Another one that should have lasted longer and got looked at deeper.

Ok least fav.

1. This isn't just a least fav but an I hate... I hated AU Cas. The Nazi or German or whatever accent is nails on a chalkboard to me. I just can't. Was Jimmy Novak not American in the AU, lol.

2. I was also not real fond of The Empty Cas. Liked meg as the empty but not Misha's take.

3. Ok nothing else is jumping to mind so I'm not going to sit and think and look for a third which is probably out there and not popping in my head , lol. I feel bad that the two I immediately thought of were both Misha but I can't help it I really really did not like those acting choices, whether they were his or the directors or writers it just didn't work for me.

Hm. Oh I just thought I could say Jared possessed by meg. Not that I didn't like it at all but just that it wasn't as good as other possessions.

So what do you all think? Would love to read some of your favs or the ones you didn't like.

@jinkieswouldyoulookatthis @fallenfar @brookesallow @supernaturalkickparty @fandom-hoarder @ani-coolgirl only if you feel like it though.

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!! JACKLES YOU BETTER STOP SAYING SHIT! YOU JUST CANT SAY THESE TYPES OF THINGS!

#jensen ackles #jib2023 #supernatural #jackles questionable acting choices has now become jackles questionable life choices #why does he do this #why does he do think to ME #can’t believe I had to find this out through the trending tags

[bumble-lee3]

a thought ive been having for the last two years: when did they tell misha that cas was in love with dean? like, obvi mish knew about destiel as a fandom ship, he's always been the most involved online of the big three, but when did they tell him about the canon ship? just for the episode? the season? since cas made the deal? when??

#like surely gaining that info would inform your acting and choices?? #surely something would change even subconsiously #spn #supernatural #destiel #castiel #dean winchester #deancas #misha collins #jensen ackles

[marcskywalker]

idk how anyone can watch that confession scene and say that dean didn't love cas (in a romantic way) because jacting joices in that scene was the DEFINITION of I didn't get to tell him I love him

#destiel #dean winchester #jensen ackles #I've seen some people refer to his acting choice as jacting joice and mmmmm #so correct

[s0fter-sin]

roadkill is already a masterclass in editing and building perspective but it’s interesting how different dean is when we see him from molly’s view. he’s more dismissive and irreverent, borderline dickish in how he treats molly and the situation. there’s none of the gruff softness or understanding we usually see from him and it’s bc molly, who is traumatised and pissed, wouldn’t be looking for those things from him bc she finds them in sam who is even more sympathetic than usual. it’s little things that reinforce the fronts they put up but bc that’s all molly knows, we never see past them

#the way he cuts into sam and mollys conversation is way more agressive than how he would usually act even with a time limit #and especially with a victim hes trying to protect #i just find it really interesting how subtle changes to their behaviour can influence whos perspective we see the situation from #jensens acting choices as well to make dean colder #im a nerd like that #carry on my wayward son #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #supernatural #supernatural roadkill #supernatural 2x16 #dean winchester #sam winchester

[girl-bateman]

I dont say this in any superior sort of way, but if you werent subjected to destiel in your formative years as it unfolded in real time then you simply don't get it

#to be clear you dont want to get it #to be clear !! #but like so much happened that in hindsight ?? #it just will never compare to any other show (not a compliment) #i was thinking abt that scene when dean gets a hard on because cas walks into the room all cleaned up and pretty #and as a 14 year old (or something) viewer I was like ???? gay ????? #and still almost 10 later im not sure wtf they intended with any of the dean and cas scenes ? #no other piece of media has left me with so much rage at its unfulfilled potential #and with so many questions for everyone involved #like why did jensen make such ?? gay choices in his gay acting when he was so clearly against the idea of his character being gay ?? #why did the writers mock the audience so harshly for picking up on the subtext that they very much wrote into the show ? #ok sorry to rant #what im saying is you had to be there #and when people say 'oh you got queerbaited queerbaited' they arevery much correct #like it is just. it was evil. #spn #destiel

[shedontlovehuhself]

I see hellers(aka Dean/Jensen stans) are on their bullshit once again.

I'm confused. First they all call cas fruity and say he's so gay for always staring at Dean or rebelled heaven for Dean. Mocked his gay little sit. And stay in the qrts of hourly deancas posts saying just how gay Cas behavior is they aren't shocked said i love you all the times he did. (and i mean everyone in that tweet thread).

Now it's Cas behavior really can be seen as "angel who doesn't know how to human" and not really gay. Eye....???

I get it. All of the people in that thread are Jensen stans first and foremost and so in true Jensen stan form they resort to minimizing others in order to make him(in this case his character Dean) as the one who actually did everything. It's what they do best when insecure. Like I'm sorry the one fan from The Boys started watching and now loves Cas(the gay angel he knew about before watching spn) and comments on his gay little behavior towards Dean because it's obvious. And now they gotta resort to making whatever that tweet above is. Seeing that tweet above makes me think of all the straight spn truthers trying to erase Castiel's queerness and saying he's a confused angel who doesn't understand humans. Cause that's what they are saying. News flash! The angel is queer and It wasn't subtle. Also his actor didn't tweet "you're not crazy" for them to be that dense on main.

#1st they say cas is super gay look at how he acts towards dean #now they say all the destiel in spn is all from dean's behavior and cas just behave like an angel #idk he got a hard on from watching the puzza man #took mick davies number quickly #was all about hannah when she was in a male body #and a ahit ton of other things done outside of dean where we know the angel is queer #also gonna say what a friend told me. that destiel is born from the chemistry of BOTH the actors #and is made more from both of their acting choices #but only ONE of them worked with the bobo to ensure his character be and say his queerness explicitly with an i love you to dean #while the other had to be asked permission #like why is permission needed to film the homo declaration if per the stans your character is the reason for all of it? #anyways can jensen stans stop doing that minimizing others thing yall always do #misha collins #castiel #destiel #jensen #supernatural #spn

[what-do-1000-swords-look-like]

If you have an opinion that applies critical thinking when it comes to Jensen, Jared, Misha, Gen, Danneel, JDM, Mark Sheppard, MP, Osric, Ty, anyone else about their careers, ways they are presenting themselves, things they've said/done, or anything else that could be considered critical (even verging on anti territory), I will listen and give it due consideration before coming to my own conclusion/opinion on the matter.

If you have an opinion that makes fun of aforementioned people's looks, marriages, sexuality, friendships and make unfounded assumptions on their motivations, their relationships with their co-workers/friends/family/children/significant others, how they earn their living/roles, what they decide to spend their earned income on, and call them names equivalent to a third grader, share these things with your "cliques" and thus act like high school mean girls aka bullies, then I'm not going to listen to you and instead assign you the category of butt-hurt haters.

Thanks for coming to my very short Ted talk.

#anti anti blogs #anti jensen hate #anti hate period #seriously your intense hate is showing #if you don't like him that's cool #if you don't like his wife that's cool #but why call them names and share around with your clique #where you all giggle and act like mean girls #how is that helpful to the 'points' you claim to make regarding his brand and career and choice of spouse #anti jared hate #anti misha hate #anti danneel hate #anti genevieve hate #and so tired of seeing these 'alleged hollywood insiders' who claim they know better than everyone else #and yet sit there and engage in the hs bullshit with the rest of them #if you're truly a professional then how is that behavior professional #spoiler alert: it's not #spnfandomposts

THINGS THAT HAPPENED:

Jensen Ross Ackles made the acting choice to pick up Castiel's trench coat and fold it gently like a flag because he believed that's what Dean would've done.

Jensen Ross Ackles was so pissed about the Destiel conflict and Dean treating Cas so harshly in the so-called divorce arc that he confronted the writer (Bobo) about it. He asked for explanation and toning the conflict down.

Jensen Ross Ackles, when asked about what he was most excited to tackle with his character in the final season of the show, took a time to think about his answer and then WITH ZERO HESITATION said: CAS.

Jensen Ross Ackles called Castiel's goodbye (aka the confession) a pivotal moment for the whole arc of the show.

Jensen Ross Ackles asked a crew member to record the confession ON HIS PHONE because he wanted to have the og, unedited version of the confession.

Jensen Ross Ackles said Dean would've said "I love you too" and then hugged Cas.

Jensen Ross Ackles admitted to the crowd of thousands of fans that Dean's biggest regret was not being able to save Cas.

Jensen Ross Ackles wrote a song about Cas.

#now listen #jensen ross ackles is no heller #but those things that he did and said are pretty insane #especially things he said after the show ended #it's as if he actually watched the show and finally saw with his own eyes how important cas was to dean lmao #jensen ackles i wanna study your brain #supernatural #destiel #jensen ackles

[tiktaalic]

the answer for most acting choices is because they're good at their job (acting) but ummmmm i know this is not the case for jensen ross ackles. which begs the question. why are you gay

#etxt #spnwatch

[thefableddestiel]

I truly love the fact that Jensen loves Dean so much. It’s amazing seeing actors love a character as much as we do.

But what I don’t love, is I feel like he has tunnel vision with Dean. He’s so caught up in the way that he’s intending to portray the character when he acts, that he disregards the way it’s actually being perceived by the audience, as if his intention is all that matters.

Like yeah, I get that you didn’t “play him that way [as in love with Cas]” But art is subjective and interpretive and regardless of what you intended, your audience is telling you that Dean is reading as very much in love with Castiel.

Also, your acting isn’t the only factor here. It’s the music choices, the cinematography, the setting, the editing, the writing. It is the result of everything. You not “playing him that way” does not have more weight than all of these things put together.

#but your acting is definitely a big factor in dean seeming in love lol #destiel #castiel #dean winchester #spn #deancas #supernatural #dean x cas #cas x dean #dean loves cas #dean x castiel #spn meta #jensen ackles #jackles
