I don't think I've ever put in the effort to befriend someone the way I put it in for Y/n. And I mean 'befriend'. That was the whole plan. Friends was the only thing I was going for, but the more time I spent with her, and I made sure to spend as much time with her as possible over the next few weeks...the more time I spent with her, the more often I was fantasizing about her. It was a bit embarrassing, actually. We'd be sitting at craft, having a nice lunch. I'd say something to make her laugh and then I would spend five minutes in my head thinking about her smile. Jared would make her turn shy by teasing her about Tara's on-camera flirting, she'd hide her face and I'd start thinking about how that innocent energy would translate into the bedroom.

And speaking of Tara, when she flirted with Dean, it was like Y/n was flirting with me. Every time, it fueled my fantasies. Hearing her call Dean "Pretty Boy" and "Handsome" and fuckin' "Cowboy" was so good because I knew that I was never going to hear Y/n say those things to me. 'Cowboy' was a personal favorite, and I made sure to let the writers know they should make that Tara's go-to nickname for Dean.

Y/n didn't flirt with me. Y/n still turned into a stuttering mess just talking to me sometimes. I would sit there, watching her freak out about the Pam-level flirting Tara had to lay down, wondering what it would be like for her to actually flirt with me. It would be something completely different than what Dabb and the boys in the writers' room put down. It would be sweet and wonderful. It would be uniquely Y/n.

I started flirting to try to get her to flirt in return and I tried, believe me I did, to keep the flirting to the same friendly manner that I flirt with Jared and Misha and Christian. But with her, it never came out that way. With her, it seemed…like too much, maybe. And maybe that's why she stopped hanging with us after a few weeks; I was too pushy. God, that was like a suckerpunch, though. First time I invited her to have a drink after work and she said 'no'? I was about two steps from demanding an explanation as to why. She didn't owe me an explanation and I knew that but it took Jared grabbing my phone out of my hand and holding it behind his back for me to register that.

"Ackles, she's allowed to say 'no'. She can do other shit," Jared reminded.

"I fuckin' know that, man, but she-" I reached around to try to grab my phone but he twisted away from me. "Gimme my phone!"

"Only when you promise not to call her or text her demanding a reason for her politely declining your invitation."

"Fine!" He raised his eyebrows and I let out a huff of a sigh. "I promise I won't demand anything out of her, okay? I'll just tell her that I'm sad she won't be there but I understand she can't always come out with us. Okay? Now gimme my phone."

"You can't get that upset just because she's got other plans," Jared said, handing my phone back.

"Well, she doesn't know anybody else in Vancouver so how could she have other plans?" I asked, my neck heating up at the thought of her meeting some Canadian dude and making plans with him instead of me.

"She's nice enough. Cute enough. Maybe she met a guy who-"

"I'm trying not to think about that possibility!" I hissed as I typed out a text expressing my disappointment at being declined.

"Hey, she's our friend now, isn't she? New friend but still. Shouldn't you want her to find some happiness? Way she talks, and doesn't talk, about her ex-husband...she probably needs something good."

He was right. Of course he was, but even though I couldn't give her anything, because holy shit that would be so bad, I still didn't want to think about her finding something good with someone else.

"She hasn't met anybody. She told us when the barista remembered her name a few days ago. She would have said if she'd met somebody who asked her out."

Just for good measure, I added "Hope your plans are more fun than ours" to the end of the text before I sent it out.

"Wow, is that denial or wishful thinking?" I rolled my eyes and started to walk away toward the wardrobe trailer to drop off the dirty Dean clothes. "Seriously, why don't you talk to Dee? I'm sure you could get her approval on-"

"Jared, stop." I turned to him and shrugged. "We talked about this. She's not gonna be around long enough to be worth the risk in even asking to start something with her. She's a fan. She's a friend. I can't see-"

"What if Dabb keeps her around? And what if Creation brings her in on the conventions? She'd be around a lot then, right? Would she be worth asking, then?"

I sighed and licked my lips. "Yeah...maybe...I don’t know. She's...she's…"

"Driving you crazy and we can all see it," he said, laughing.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes and started walking to Wardrobe again. "Why are you pushin' so hard for this?"

"Because you haven't been getting any and you're a bit of a grump...and you're moving from 'grump' to 'asshole' and no one wants that. I love you, brother, but you get a bit hard to deal with when you're not-"

"Okay, okay, I'm not that bad," I argued.

"You practically growled at Misha yesterday when he asked you to get him a coffee," he argued back. "You nearly threw hands with Dabb over a line of dialogue in the newest script."

"Dabb's an asshole and Dean would give the damn kid a chance, okay? Only time he wouldn't was when he had the Mark of Cain. And Misha has legs, he can get his own coffee and fuck, you're right, I'm being an ass but who says it's because I'm sexually frustrated?"

"Me. And Danneel...because if it's not that, then you need to get your hormones checked because you're going through male menopause, old man."

I turned to him again, glaring up into his face. "I'm not old and I'm not going through menopause. I've just...shut up." I had nothing to say. He was right. Jared knows me better than almost anybody.

"Well, maybe you should buy a Fleshlight...or get better at masturbating."

I rolled my eyes as he laughed. "Seriously, shut up."

~~~~

Y/n kept avoiding me. For a little over a week, every time I tried to get her to hang out or have a drink, she declined. I bit my tongue to keep myself from throwing a fit over it but it made me feel like I’d done something wrong.

“Did I do something? Has she said anything to you?” I asked Jared as she sent me another kiss-off text.

“No. She seems okay with me, though. We had lunch earlier while you were-”

“Are you kidding me?!” I exclaimed, trying to keep my anger to a minimum. “What did I do? Why is she avoiding me?”

“Maybe she’s uncomfortable with how you flirt with her,” Jared suggested.

“I flirt with all my friends!” I scoffed. “I mean, I flirt with you. I flirt with Misha. I flirt with Chris and Kim and Bri and…” I licked my lips and looked away. “I flirt with everyone. It’s just lighthearted fun.”

“But it might be different for her. She’s shy, Jay, and you are an attractive man that she still gets nervous just talking to. You can’t flirt with her like that.”

“Yeah.” I hated that he was so right about every aspect of the situation with Y/n. “Yeah. You’re right. I will...stop flirting with her. Keep it professional.”

“Don’t keep it professional; just keep it friendly.”

“Yeah. Okay. Um...I’ll fix this. I’ll fix it. Can you…” I cleared my throat and smiled at him. “Can you invite her to hang out on Thursday? We’ll have a few drinks, live tweet the premiere, and I will not flirt. Just a couple friends and a couple drinks.”

His eyebrows went up. “‘Just a couple friends and a couple drinks’, huh?”

“Don’t get that look. I’m gonna be a friend. Nothing else.”

“Sure. Your trailer?”

“Yeah. My trailer. I’ve got the better recliners.”

He nodded and pulled out his phone, walking away as he tapped out a text to her. I wasn’t jealous about the way she immediately responded to his text with a smile emoji and acceptance of the invitation. Not at all.

I made sure to stock the trailer with several kinds of liquor and beers and bottles of water. I ordered pizzas and snacks. Jared was in my trailer for half an hour, chuckling about me trying to clean up despite the fact that I had already cleaned the place. Y/n showed up fifteen minutes before the East Coast showing, wearing a cute pink blouse and a pair of tight jeans that hugged her hips just right. I had to stop myself from making a comment about the way she looked, directing her to my favorite recliner and handing her a Cosmic Cowboy.

“You tweeting the West coast premiere or just East coast?” she asked, getting comfortable.

“Both,” Jared announced, flopping into the second recliner. “We’re usually working on premiere nights but they gave us tonight and half of tomorrow off. We are partying!”

“We’ll probably be shooting ‘til four in the morning tomorrow to make up for it but tonight we are going to enjoy ourselves.” I sat on the right arm of Y/n’s seat and looked down at her. I was trying to keep my distance a bit, but I still wanted to be near her. “So where’ve you been? You’ve been a bit of a ghost the last week or so. Are you okay?”

She pursed her lips a bit and nodded. “Yeah. Just homesick.”

I understood that. Homesick was where I lived. I reached out to pat her shoulder. “Yeah, I get it. You never get used to it but it does eventually get a little easier. Facetime is your best friend.” I pulled out my phone to show her my Facetime app, but thought better of it. She was right there next to me...we needed to have a picture. “Picture time.”

She immediately ducked out of the way, escaping the selfie. “No, wait, what?!”

I chuckled at her reaction. “Oh, come on. Your television debut is about to air. We need documentation.”

She leaned back into the shot and Jared leaned our way. I took a pic and smiled as I tapped out a tweet, attaching the picture and tagging Y/n in it.

“You didn’t say you were documenting on Twitter!” she shrieked when her phone went off to let her know I’d tagged her.

I put on a grumpy face, but I was smiling inside at her reaction. I leaned down closer to her, careful not to take on a flirty tone. “We’re live tweeting,” I reminded her.

“Yeah, the premiere, not the party!”

“You are just determined to not enjoy this fame thing, huh?”

She looked all shy again and shook her head. “I just...I know how this could go, ya know?” I knew exactly where she was going with this. “I am not looking forward to seeing a bunch of hate on my Twitter feed or...ya know, the ‘who the hell is this chick’ stuff. I was just…”

I nudged her shoulder with my elbow. No real contact. “Hey, lil’ Miss Fortitude...we’re here to support you. Some fans are gonna hate it no matter what we do.”

“Can’t please everyone. It’s an important lesson. Don’t hold back just because you’re afraid someone’s gonna hate it,” Jared offered.

She needed to see herself for who she really was. She really did think that people were going to hate her. I didn’t understand why she thought so poorly of herself. Honestly, I thought she was one of the most amazing women I ever met. So, as I watched the episode, tapping out tweets about what was happening on screen, I was trying to think of ways to do something about that self esteem of hers.

She didn’t seem to like the Cowboy much, so when she finished the beer, I got up and made her a Vodka Cranberry.

When a new set showed up on the screen, I looked over at her. “This you?”

She nodded and hid in her drink as her scene played. Her acting was perfect, moving seamlessly from sweet to serious, berating the teen witches about their lack of determination. I looked over at her, discreetly, as we watched and her eyes went so damn wide. I swear she wasn’t breathing the entire time she was on the screen.

“That was amazing,” she finally said when it went to commercial. “I was on TV!”

She seemed really happy and I loved that. “See? Hold onto that feeling, Baby Girl. Who gives a fuck if the fans like you? We like you,” I said, wrapping my arms around her and hugging her tight.

She loosened up a bit after that, I guess from the adrenaline of her performance, and she loosened up a lot more as the alcohol hit her. I won’t lie that I was happy to keep providing her drinks: Tequila Sunrises and Vodka Cranberries. I liked the way she was smiling and laughing and joking with us as she got drunker. I didn’t even think about the fact that she had to be sober enough to get back to her motel room...until Jared pointed out that it was 2am and we needed to get some rest before we made it back to the set at noon.

Watching Y/n pull her keys out of her purse made me step forward and wrap my hand around her wrist. “No.”

“What? I’m fine to drive,” she argued, before stumbling over her feet and grabbing the back of my recliner to stay standing.

“You are not. You are way too drunk to drive, Baby Girl, so you’re gonna get in the SUV with me and Jared. Clif can drive you back here in the morning,” I demanded. I waited for her to nod and put her keys back in her purse. The look Clif gave me when I helped her into the back seat of the SUV was like he knew exactly where my fantasies were leading me. The look Jared gave me when he got out of the SUV at his condo, leaving me and Y/n alone, said he was going to have a talk with me the next day.

I was so close to doing the right thing and telling Clif to take her to her motel...but then she laid her head on my shoulder and snuggled close to me on the back bench, muttering under her breath about how good my cologne smelled and the right thing just flew away. “Hey, Clif, just drive us to my place,” I said, quietly.

“Sure.”

“I don’t wanna hear it.”

“I didn’t say anything, Jensen.”

“Well, keep not saying anything.”

Clif opened the door for me and Y/n and told me to text him when it was time to head out in the morning. Y/n stumbled as we got into the elevator, so I wrapped my arm around her waist. As I was holding her to my side, helping her into my condo, it became completely obvious that I could not keep things professional with her. I couldn’t keep things friendly. I wanted her...so badly.

Of course I wasn’t going to do anything that night. We were drunk, very drunk, and I hadn’t even broached the subject with Danneel. That was the rule: Dee approves or nothing happens. But I wanted her...so I had to start making it happen.

“No, no, you don’t wanna sleep on the couch, Baby Girl,” I said as she sat down on the couch. “Your muscles will hate you in the morning. I got a big bed.” I offered my hand and she took it without comment, getting back to her feet and following me to my bedroom. I took her shoes off and helped her into my bed, before grabbing a pair of sweatpants and heading into the master bathroom to change. I slipped into the bed on the opposite side. She was already asleep...or passed out might be more accurate.

I slept for about three hours before the movement of her sitting up woke me. I knew she might be confused, probably a little drunk still, so I rolled over and put my hand on her shoulder, pushing her to get her to lie back. “We don’t gotta be at work ‘til noon, Baby Girl. Sleep off some more’a that tequila.”

She sighed and turned away from me, snuggling into my extra pillow. “‘Kay, but if your wife puts a hit out on me, I’m blaming you.”

I slipped my arm around her and pulled her against my chest. Just a little bit, get closer to her. “Trust me. Dee isn’t the jealous type,” I whispered.

I fell asleep holding her, my hand over her ribcage, just under her breast. I wanted more. I wanted to know what she felt like, what she sounded like. I wanted to know what she tasted like. But I would have to settle for my hands staying in neutral zones and my dick staying in my pants...for a little while.

When she woke up again, maybe prompted by my morning hardon poking her in the ass, she immediately rolled out of my bed and rushed out of the room. I stretched and grabbed clothes for the day, walking into the bathroom to get a shower. The erection went away without me having to take a hands-on approach. I brushed my teeth, put some of the Tom Ford on, and grabbed one of my watches out of the watch box. I called Clif, who said he’d be there to pick up me and my ‘girlfriend’ in ten minutes. I rolled my eyes and told him to keep that shit to himself.

I found Y/n in my kitchen, drinking a glass of water. “Clif’ll be here in about ten minutes. He’s gonna drop us by your motel so you can get showered and changed. How’s your hangover?” I asked.

“Oh, I don’t have one,” she said, dismissively. I could not believe that shit. “I drank a lot of water last night. You’ve probably got Nestle bottles strewn across your trailer. I always make sure to drink twice as much water as alcohol. It stops the headache and light sensitivity. So I just end up a little sick to my stomach, which can be remedied with Dramamine and a good sandwich.”

I was surprised by that wisdom coming out of this young woman. “Wow. You know how to drink.”

“Yeah, well…” She looked down at the floor and licked her lips. “I used to drown my depression in rum, so…”

That sentence hit me with a pang of empathetic sadness. “You’ve got depression?” I asked quietly. Jared’s got depression. Some of the best people I know have it. They don’t deserve to feel like that.

“Not Chemical Depression. It’s Situational. My old therapist was very specific about that.” She took a shaky breath before she continued. “When I get low, I get really low. It was at its worst when I was married...so I had five years of really low.”

There it was. Jared said it: she didn’t talk about her ex. I walked over and leaned against my fridge, arms crossed over my chest. “Yeah, ya know...you talk about your daughter all the time, but you barely ever mention her father. What happened there?”

She was obviously uncomfortable and unhappy to think about it, but she licked her lips and moved on with the conversation. “He was...ya know, he was my first real relationship. My only real relationship, actually. We married young. I told you that I was twenty when we got married. Well, Nate was only twenty-one. He wanted a woman who would worship him and...for a very long time, I did.” She cleared her throat, seemed like she was fighting back tears. “But he hurt me...emotionally. I was miserable for years and I couldn’t even tell for a long time. That pain became my normal.”

I didn’t even know what he’d done, but I could see the weight on her. It suddenly clicked for me, the self-esteem problems she was fighting. Whatever he’d put her through, it broke her self-worth.

“It was honestly the best thing that could have happened to me when he left me for...this friend of ours.”

“Shitty friend,” I said.

She nodded once, obviously fighting more tears. “You are not wrong.”

I didn’t want to make her feel self-conscious about letting her walls down, so I turned to get a cup of coffee and tried to make her smile. “You don’t seem like the type to worship a guy. You don’t even worship me and I’m totally worth it.”

“Oh, you’re the closest I’ll ever get again, Ackles. But back when I met him, I was different. I was…” She sighed. “I was fat and I honestly thought I was the ugliest chick in town and I hated myself and the fact that this guy was paying attention to me, saying that he loved me...I wanted so badly to keep that feeling that I ignored all the bad feelings.” I wish I’d known her back then. I wish I could have helped her see herself. “He kept me low on purpose, and as soon as I wanted to better myself. As soon as I decided that I needed to be a strong woman so that my daughter would be one, he stopped wanting me.”

“What, because he knew you were gonna realize what an ass he was as soon as you came out of the darkness?” All I could do was wonder what sort of man would do that to a woman. Any woman, really, but definitely a woman as great as Y/n.

I could see her nod from the corner of my eye. “That’s the theory.”

I turned to her and smiled as bright as I could. “Well, look at you now. Bet he’s kickin’ himself.”

“Oh, yeah. I’m on TV now. I’ve got almost ten thousand Twitter followers. My star is on the rise,” she joked...but I wasn’t joking.

I set my coffee on the counter and turned to her. “Not what I mean. The person you were when you married that jerk, she never would have sent that audition video in, would she?” She shook her head. “You never would’ve been able to befriend Jared and me. You never would have ended up part of this family. If you were still with him, you'd probably still be overweight and depressed and self-medicating with alcohol. You woulda only touched this world at the conventions."

She shook her at that. "Not even that," she disputed. She let out a little scoff. “I never did anything for myself when I was with him. He could buy Legos and trading cards and a thousand dollar special-import Playstation, but I couldn’t...I always looked at the cons, but I never went to them. Not just Supernatural cons either. Everything.” She licked her lips and ran her hand over her hair. “You know me well enough now that you know I’m a fairly well-rounded geek and I never went to a single convention until Nate left me. Not a single one. When I wasn’t worrying about taking care of him and his wants and his needs, I was able to finally do something great for me.”

Her smile went wide and bright. “That con in Atlanta was life-changing. I did things I never would have when I was married. I drove five hours, by myself, to a city I had literally never seen. I walked a mile and a half from my hotel to the con hotel and back, alone, every day.” She laughed an intoxicating laugh. “I walked to that bar in the dark and actually got up the nerve to talk to two guys that I looked up to. I talked to people at the con that I’d never met and I made friends. I got up and sang karaoke in front of two hundred people and I fucking rocked it.. It was like I was the old me again. I had the time of my life...which is what prompted me to go after the other things I wanted in my life...and that’s how I got to meet you.”

That convention made everything happen.

“Well, I’m glad you did it. You deserve to be here.” In my life, in my condo, in my bed.

My phone went off, Clif letting me know that he was waiting in the parking lot. “Clif’s here?” she asked.

“Yep. Let’s get outta here.”

~~~~

Her motel looked nasty even from the outside. I’d heard horror stories, but I hadn’t seen it myself...so when she got out of the truck, I followed her. “So, this is your temporary pad, huh?”

“Yep,” she said, grabbing clothes from the aged wood wardrobe. “Don’t snoop, Jensen.” She disappeared into the bathroom as I started looking around.

“If I snoop, what am I gonna find?” I called.

“A shrine to Misha! Leave it alone! It’s a GISHWHES item!”

I scoffed and shook my head, walking over to her wardrobe and looking through her clothes. “You’re ridiculous!”

“I think you mean ‘abnosome’!” she said as the shower turned on. Another one of Misha’s made up words that caused me to laugh. He’d be so happy.

I kept looking around her room, finding bits of fandom stuff and dead bugs and a picture of a cute little girl smiling in a frame on the bedside table, before finally coming across a familiar white cap. I chuckled as I ran my fingers over the many metal buttons with Supernatural characters and actors on them. I fitted the cap on my head and waited for her as she finished her shower. When she opened the bathroom door, I could see pillows in the tub. She wasn’t joking about the bed bugs. Nasty.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure this looks better on me," I said, turning to the mirror behind the TV.

"Of course it does," she agreed. "Everything looks good on you."

"Not sure how I feel about the buttons, though."

“If you don’t like it, don’t wear it!” she exclaimed, jumping to grab it off of my head. Not that she could reach it., especially when I ducked back away from her.

“Nah, I’m gonna hold onto it. Gotta make sure you don’t ghost again. I’ll give the hat back when I’m sure you’re not going anywhere.” I nodded at the door. “Come on, Clif’s waiting.”

She got her shoes on before we headed out to the SUV. She looked cute, in her completely plain clothes and her pink and black sneakers. She looked out the window as we drove toward the studio, biting that bottom lip. Shit, that made me wanna know what that lip tasted like.

She was stuck in her head, I could see it in the way she was chewing on that lip. I couldn’t help wondering what was going on in her head. “You okay, kid?”

“Um, yeah. Why?” It was the first time she didn’t take offense to me calling her ‘kid’. She was definitely in another world.

“You just look like you’re deep in thought is all.” My eyes found her bottom lip and I smirked a little. “You gotta stop bitin’ your lip, Baby Girl. You’re starting to bruise.”

She gasped as her hand shot to her mouth. She immediately pulled her phone out to look at herself in the selfie camera. “Shit. They’re gonna love this in the makeup trailer. Might have to actually put lipstick on Tara.”

“I kinda like it,” I admitted, licking my lips. “Makes it look like you had a lot of fun last night.” I wished she had the kind of fun I was thinking of.

“Well, considering I went home with a married man last night, Ackles, that may not be a good thing. Don’t encourage the rumor mill."

She was right about the rumor mill, but damn, I wanted to do something worth a rumor. I was good at staying out of the tabloids. I knew how to be discreet, but I wanted something with her.

"I think I'm gonna talk to Dee," I told Jared as soon as we were alone, riding toward Abbotsford to shoot the Chicago episode.

"'Bout damn time," Clif said from the front seat.

"She's only been here a month! Shut up!"

Jared laughed and slapped my chest. "Yeah, it's been a month of you pining over her."

"I have not been pining. Who says 'pining'? This isn't a medieval romance. I was trying to be her friend, okay?"

"You were trying to be her friend so you wouldn't have to admit how much you wanna bang her," Jared accused.

"That’s not why I was trying to be her friend!" I shook my head. "Dude, she is...she's got no self esteem. She has no confidence. She's amazing and she doesn't see it, so I thought if I made friends...if someone she admires was able to see her worth...maybe she'd be able to."

"Right," he agreed. "But you also wanted to bang her."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, so? That's not why I made friends with her."

"So, what's the plan? How are you gonna butter her up?" Clif asked. "And how are you gonna butter up the Missus?"

"Danneel doesn't need butter. I'm just gonna ask her to look into Y/n and tell me what she thinks." I looked out the window at cars passing in the opposite direction. "Y/n will be harder. Assuming Danneel gives me permission to pursue it, convincing Y/n that it's real and everything...convincing her to sign up to be my dirty little secret is gonna be...really difficult and I'm not even sure how to make it happen."

"Wow. You sound almost nervous, Ackles."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm trying to not be an asshole. Asking a great woman to be your sanctioned side chick is...not the easiest thing to navigate. I mean, Isabella was-"

"Not anything like Y/n."

"Yeah. I mean, Y/n thinks my marriage is perfect. She said that shit last week. She might not take this-This might destroy her opinion of me and Dee. I don’t know if I want-” I threw my head back onto the headrest. “Shit, I shouldn’t even do this”

“Yes, you should. You need to at least try, right?” Jared said, turning to me fully. “Look, I’m not gonna tease you anymore right now. Gonna be serious. Y/n is shy and sweet and she will never turn you down. Never. The very idea of you being sexually interested in her is going to be mindblowing to her. But...you have to approach it softly. You have to get her completely comfortable with you before you even bring it up to Y/n...or it’ll be too much.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but Jared kept talking. “She is so enamored with you but she gets really uncomfortable when you flirt. So you have to calm that down, approach it softly. Keep workin’ her, but do it with more tact.”

I licked my lips and pulled my phone out, opening my text chain with Dee. “More tact, huh? I’ll try.”

>>When I get done here, I’m gonna call you. Try to stay awake, please, babe.

By the time we got to location, she’d responded with an I’ll try! I went to find Y/n as soon as I got out of the truck and I found her running her hand over the hood of the quieter Impala, looking at it with all the love and admiration that beautiful car deserves. “Stop pretending you haven’t sneaked over and drooled over Baby before,” I said, walking over to her. I put my hand on her back, between her shoulder blades because that’s not so bad. It’s not too much. It’s not overwhelming.

“No, I have,” she admitted, turning and looking up at me. “I’ve just always admired the Impalas from afar. You know how the props guys are about the cars...a lot like you are.” She turned and leaned against the hood. “I get to ride in her. Like...seriously? That’s so amazing.”

“Did you ever imagine just how much sex has happened in the back of this car?” I asked.

She looked down with all of that adorable shyness before pulling herself out of it. “Don’t misquote my character to me, Ackles.”

I laughed a little. “I wasn’t talkin’ ‘bout the show. How many actors or crew members do you think have been in this car after dark just to mess around in the Impala?”

Her face went from shy to innocent in a flash. “I don’t know. How many times have you opened the door and smelled sex?” That innocent thing was an act. Had to be.

It took a few seconds to count them out in my head. “Half a dozen or so.”

“Why are you smirking? Did I miss something?” she asked, and her innocent mask almost fell apart on her.

“Ya know, sometimes I am completely baffled at how innocent you are...especially for a chick who’s got a kid at home.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked, putting her hands on her hips all indignantly.

“Well, you always act completely oblivious when I try to bring up sex in conversation. You pretend like I just asked you what color your shirt is or something...and let us not forget the fact that you woke up in my bed today, and you didn’t even make a joke about morning wood.”

“You think that’s probably by design, Ackles?” I don’t know why it seemed so much less fun when she called me by my last name. Jared had been doing it for years but out of her mouth, it hit a bit wrong. Probably because I wanted to hear her call me 'babe' or 'honey' or…'cowboy'. "You talking about sex forces me to think about you and sex. So for the sake of my own composure, I shut that shit down as fast as fucking possible."

She was too shy to think about me having sex and I was literally daydreaming about having sex with her. Crazy world. “Aw! Somebody’s embarrassed!” I teased, laughing out loud. “Man, I’m gonna get you to flirt back eventually. Tara shouldn’t be the only one who gets to make comments about my ass.”

“Oh, come on!” she shrieked, practically running away from me.

“What did I say, dude?” Jared walked over as she found herself in front of Misha in full Cas garb. “Tact, Ackles! Tact.”

“I…” I hummed and nodded. “I’m tryin’, Jare. It’s just not fuckin’ easy with her. She’s just so...she’s this mix of innocent and...she’s so shy and I just wanna crack open that shell and…”

“Chase her away?”

“I’m not trying to chase her away! I’m just…” I looked over my shoulder at her and Misha. “I don’t know. I can’t not flirt with her. I have to keep trying but...I really wanna see what it’s like when she flirts back.”

“She’ll flirt back when she’s ready. She’s not ready.”

“Right.”

He patted my back and pointed toward the alleyway we were going to be shooting in. “Focus on the job for now. Come back to it later.”

I did what he said, focused on the job and not the way Y/n was flirting so heavily as Tara, not the way she looked so cute sitting on a barrel and kicking her feet. I focused on the job...and so did she, but as soon as we cut for dinner, she was in her head. It seemed like she was doing her best to avoid looking at me, but every time I caught her actually looking at me, I could see where her eyes were...on my lap. I felt a bit of elation at that. Something finally got through.

“She’s thinking about my morning wood,” I whispered to Jared.

“What?!” she exclaimed. “No, I’m not!”

“Jay, leave the poor girl alone.” Jared’s words were soft, just a little bit of a warning on them. Maybe he could see that I was starting to break through to her, I don’t know.

“Yeah, Jay. Leave the poor girl alone,” she agreed with a big smile. That, I liked. Not a large group of folks call me ‘Jay’ and hearing her pretty voice on that single, simple syllable was awesome.

“But she’s so cute when she blushes.” She ducked her head, obviously blushing more. “See? Isn’t that adorable?”

“Oh, screw you, Ackles,” she snapped, the fire in her cheeks moving to her eyes as she glared at me. Not back to ‘Ackles’.

“That an offer? ‘Cause we got some time before we start shootin’ again and-”

“Oh, shut up, you giant child.”

“Hey, you’re the one who keeps checking to see how giant I really am.”

“Oh, my god!” she squeaked, covering her face with her hands. “Jared, please control your boy,” she begged from behind her palms.

He chuckled and smirked, taking a drink of his iced coffee. “You know you’re talking to the wrong guy if you want to control Jensen, right?” He gestured between us, but gave me a high eyebrow. “Because I’m finding this whole situation hilarious.”

She pulled her hands away and looked over at him. “Some friend you are, Padalecki.”

“Oh, he’s a great friend...to me.” I shrugged and winked at her. “I got thirteen years on you, Baby Girl. J-pad is always gonna have my back.”

She stood up and stuck her tongue out at me before stomping away. Pretty tongue. Long, pointed...I wanted to taste it.

“And she called you a child?” Jared commented.

“Nice long tongue though,” I responded, picking up my coffee cup.

“Tone it down,” Jared whispered. “You’re gonna chase her away again.”

“Still too much?”

“Yeah. Just a bit,” he answered, pointedly. Yeah, it was a bit more than a bit, but...what could I do? “She’s sensitive.”

“Yeah, some folks don’t like to be teased so much, Jay,” she said, sitting down.

There it was again. ‘Jay’. I really did like that a lot. I couldn’t hold back the smile that broke out across my face. “All right. I will tone down the teasing. I’m sorry, kid.”

“Okay. Forgiven.” She smiled back and her whole face lit up and my heart just sang over it. “And I’m still not a kid. The other thing is okay, but I’m gonna get upset if you keep calling me ‘kid’.”

“Oh, the other thing’s okay?” Jared asked. “You’re cool with ‘Baby Girl’, but not cool with ‘kid’?”

“Baby Girl makes me think of Criminal Minds. Derek Morgan always called Garcia ‘Baby Girl’. I like it...but ‘kid’ is like...like I’m less than because I’m younger than you?”

“That’s absolutely not how I mean it. Not how I’m usin’ it, I promise.” I licked my lips and leaned forward. I’d have to stay away from ‘kid’ for a while, because I didn’t want her to even think that I saw her as less than. “I just like nicknames and ‘kid’ seemed to be a good one, but I don’t see you as anything less than me.”

She looked down again, but a smile found its way onto her lips. “Okay,” she whispered. I was getting through her shell.

Hey hey hey, any Ricky head canons? How does he feel about the rest of the choir? How old were they when Ricky and Ocean became friends? How does Misha's protective nature extend to Ricky? All that kinda thing! I love your headcanons and your fics!

Ricky!!! what a sweet guy!

also thank you, you sweet anon! 💕💕

He speaks in sign language!!!

Those “odd gestures” Karnak said his parents comminuted in were most likely home signs, which are used in deaf/mute families! They’re basically signs made specifically by a family for themselves!

Although he can’t sing along to the song, he DOES sign along to them! It’s really cool!

(Seriously, I took ASL all four years in high school, and watching people sign songs is SO COOL! Look it up! It’s mesmerizing!)

He and Ocean met when they were both, like, in 8th grade (or whatever 8th grade is in Canadian, idk, i’m from Texas), and when she saw him signing she was like :0 !!!!!!

She then DEMANDED he teach her so they can be friends

Ricky was bit daunted, but he was happy to teach her because then he could have another person to talk to!

Constance also learned because of this

And then the rest of the choir did, too, when they all got into the group!

He really likes everyone in the choir!! Unlike some of the others, he doesn’t have any problems with anyone!

BIG Pokémon fan

His favorite Pokémon is Eevee!

Just a big Nintendo fan in general

Kicks ass at Mario Party

Also kicks ass in Pokémon Showdown

When the others are arguing and aren’t paying attention to him, he’ll whack his crutches together to get them to listen to him

Ricky: *scolding Noel and Ocean in sign language for arguing again*

Noel and Ocean: *closes their eyes*

Ricky: >:0

(Based on my old ASL teacher, who was deaf and used to just close her eyes when her husband was annoying her while signing to her)

Mischa is Very Protective of Ricky, as he is with the whole choir! He doesn’t let ANYONE fuck with him ever!

Other than Gage, Leon, and possibly Jules. does anyone else have an accent? like even a Boston accent or New York?

I guess it depends on what you think an accent is haha the only characters who have accents based on speaking English as a second language are Gage and his brother who is dead; Jules has a standard Canadian city accent and would sound like Lys, Zahra, Carmine, Lorne, etc. Misha, Georgia, and Simon spent decades in New York City so they would sound more Americanized but not like, a stereotypical New Yorker accent or anything.

I worked at a mall that was a big tourist destination for American shoppers and could always tell they were American based on their “accents” but they aren’t much different than my own Canadian accent lol. I hope that makes sense.

Re: Jensen's covid concerns. I understand why he would have them, and agree that he would be right in doing so. However, we are also talking about the man who let Jared use his shirtsleeve as a tissue...on stage...during an afternoon J2 panel. Is it possible he was overly cautious because of the Canadian protocols which were always much more strict than in the US? Personally, I wouldn't want to risk my first big job post SPN.

J2 grooming each other is very different than exposing oneself during a global pandemic. Jared's snot has zero risk of killing vulnerable loved ones.

Speaking of grooming -

So I used to study nonhuman primates and one of the ways we measured intimacy/bonds was through proximity and grooming. You can anticipate bonds and breakups by looking at who is proximate to whom as well as who grooms whom.

Because of that training, whenever I watch conventions, I keep track of the various actions they do, including who touches who, how long the touches last, the context of the touches, etc.

Different people/primates have different levels of touch. So, in general, Jared touches more than Misha, who touches more than Jensen. It's not unusual to have Jared touch Jensen 10-15 times in a panel, while Jensen will touch him 0 or 1 time, not including fist bumps/hug.

At Vegas, Jared was touching Jensen similar to how he normally does, while Jensen was more touchy. We've seen Jensen groom Jared, but this is the first time we've seen Jared groom Jensen at the con. Jensen leaned into it.

This isn't the only reversal they did this con, they also switched who tells the Dad joke and who stares in disapproval.

A lot of people noted that they seemed very comfortable with each other and I think these reversals helped a lot. Most people don't keep track of who touches who or for how long, but your brain subconsciously registers it.

[theyarebothgunshot]

Hijacking Gunshots's platform (she allowed me) to speak on one thing that happened recently on stan twitter (and possibly tumblr) among Misha antis since I know there may be some new and confused stans around and I don't want you to get the wrong impression. The thing that has always been around but recently got seriously brought up is Misha's intrusive thoughts caused by the work on the "Karla" set - movie that Misha himself boycotted even tho he's a lead of it, telling the true crime story of Paul Bernardo (starring Misha), Canadian serial killer and rapist AND his partner in crime Karla Homolka (Laura Prepon). From what I've heard that set as a work environment was really toxic and abusive and left some of the cast traumatized - including Misha who among other stuff suffered from (I don't know if he still does) intrusive thoughts - often unwelcome, distressing, obsessive, involuntary (that is super important) thought that gets stuck in your head, and it doesn't have to represent your actual personality, needs, desires, who you are really; commonly associated with the effects of trauma. Trauma truly changes your perception but it's not your fault. And that's what happened here. Misha suffered from intrusive thoughts towards other people connected with the harm his character has done, but it involuntary, unwelcome, doesn't reflect who Mish and he didn't take any harmful actions. Don't let anybody convince you Mish is a rapist or a pedophile - none of those thoughts are of his own free will.

Recently my friend came out to me that she struggles with intrusive thoughts from the abuse done to her - I don't know the details but I would never accuse her of being a bad harmful person. I suffer from intrusive thoughts from the abuse done to me, I actually struggle with symptoms alike those of PTSD and I want to check that one day, to find my peace. How do mine look? Usually it's me... getting extremely harmed by my abuser but playing along with it - which I would never do.

I'm sorry if it's all a little bit too disturbing but I wanted you to be aware of why Mish said some things and what it means. You don't have to be afraid of him. He wouldn't hurt you.

Thank you for your platform, Rose. I love you so much - tea anon

nothing to add except to say that i am sorry you had to go through what you went through, and that i hope you will find that peace <3 

#love you too <3 #i hope nobody believes the claims that certain disturbing people are making #because yeah its just #disgusting the lengths they will go to #tea anon #abuse tw #rape tw #Anonymous

[bigbagofgabriel]

ok I promise this will be my only serious supernatural post for the rest of time. this is it. then back to shitposts.

The issue isn't with Misha, any of the actors, hell, I don't even fully blame the writers, I blame the network. The issue with 15.18 and the episodes following is that it is a continuation of a dangerous theme not only on the cw but in media as a whole. The fact that fans are made out to be crazy when looking for representation is asinine. If your audience is trying to see themselves in your characters, why silence that? If there are people out there who love your work, and see a reflection of them in it, why wouldn't you capitalize on that? Give the fans something to believe in.

By having Cas's confession go unacknowledged, you are telling the very people who find solace in your work that their struggles, and things that mean the world to them and take extreme courage to do, are shameful. The network treated Cas's confession like a dirty little secret that had to be hidden. That's what hurts. When you actively isolate a large portion of your viewers, of course we're going to be mad. Then the spanish leak happened, and we were given the crumb of representation that we wanted, only to be gaslit by the cw shoving Misha into the flames.

Growing up, Supernatural was a huge part of my self exploration and growth. I saw Charlie, living as herself, being openly gay and thriving, being heroic, helping save the day. I saw myself in her. Then they killed her off screen and dumped her body in a bathtub. That was my first exposure to the trope, I was young and projecting onto this character, only to see her die. So I moved on, I found bits of myself in other characters along the way, and Castiel, the queercoded character he was, was the one I latched onto. To see him treated that way, and to see Dean deprived of the chance to speak his truth, whether that be reciprocal or not, hurts like hell. Thirteen year old me who was unafraid to face the world honestly because of these characters and their representation (because it was, Canon or not) would be so hurt by this. 20 year old me can take it. what I can't take is them showing us that once again, lgbtq relationships are still being hidden away like a shameful secret.

Looking at it from a filmmakers perspective, it makes no sense to go about it the way they did. They erased 15 years of character development, the family the Winchesters fostered was ripped away, there was no conclusion to their story. I'm working under Canadian film covid restrictions now, and there is no excuse for the joke they let air. They dashed the hard work the cast and crew put in over the rocks and are shocked that there's backlash. no forethought, no mercy.

un fucking believable.

“Low on Canadians, high on good fights” UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs Cerrone Preview

Joey

September 8th

So on main event and co-main event alone, this card is an easy win. The main event pits two of the UFC's best action fighters in a battle for LW action fighter dominance with subtle title fight implications. At the very least, the winner of this fight could find themselves comfortably resting inside the holiest of holy grounds aka "The elite top 5 lightweight" territory that's currently occupied by Khabib, Tony Ferguson, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The co-main event pits an aging LHW grappler in the midst of a career renaissance vs one of 205 lbs wackiest fighters around. I shouldn't have to try too hard to sell you a main event/co-main tandem of Gaethje/Cerrone and Glover Teix/Krylov. Beyond that? There's still some pretty good stuff although the action fight quotient begins to sway here. We've got some good well put together fights at 185 lbs with Uriah Hall taking on Antonio Carlos Junior and Andrew Sanchez vs Marvin Vettori in a fight that could be shittastic or pretty fun. The HWs are back with some interesting filler action although Marcin Tybura vs Agusto Sakai could be violent in doses. There's your standard glut of Canadian fighters nobody cares about on an international level yet as well. The main card is interesting and pseudo deep while the prelims are littered with unknowns at 135 lbs and 145 lbs. It's a solid late Summer/early Autumn card worth your time with two big fights at the top of the bill to suck you in.

Weight Class Jumpers (Fighters competing outside of the weight class of their last fight even if they’re returning BACK to their “normal weight class”) (25-17)- Kyle Prepolec

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1-  So Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje attempting to make history and become the first UFC fighter to have four Fight Of The Night awards in a row. Thus far a casual perusal of about 50 of the usual suspects (Diego Sanchez, Jim Miller, Joe Lauzon, Nate Diaz, Edson Barboza, Dan Hooker, Kelvin Gastelum etc) have revealed that most of them top out at around 3 in a row. Just a fun factoid.

2- Is Cerrone  about to FINALLY become overworked? In November, he subbed Mike Perry in the first round of a pretty wild fight. In January, he beat Alexander Hernandez in a pretty tough fight where he got out of there early but not without damage. He fought Al Iaquinta in May in a five round fight where he took some damage but won at a relatively solid safe pace. He spun around real quick in June vs Tony Ferguson and got his face broken up for two rounds en route to a doctor stoppage loss. NOW Cerrone is back in August with a seemingly healed up eye to fight Justin Gaethje on short notice. Is this all a bit too much and a bit too soon for Cerrone or is the fact that it's short-ish notice and another fight in a busy schedule a benefit to him?

3- I think it's fair to say that Edson Barboza was the best kicker but is Donald Cerrone the best head kicker that Gaethje has ever faced?

4- What does the winner of this fight do? With Ferguson vs Khabib almost locked up and the McGregor spectre looming, is this just high level elite busy work for both guys?

5- Glover Teix vs Jon Jones II is coming, right?

6- This co-main event is pretty damn fun. This fight is the sort of guy Glover has traditionally had no problems with while Nikita has been consistently bested by Glover types. For Nikita, Glover is a big strong guy who isn't athletic but technically sound and experienced. Guys who can clinch with Krylov more often than not do well to get him to the ground, poke at the holes in his game and snag a submission win. For Glover, he's fighting his third straight guy who is more athletic, younger, wild and aggressive than him. Thus far Glover's plan seems to be to hold on, weather the storm, wait for the chance to get on top and then try to end the fight from there. Glover's turned into more of a grappler than he was on the regional scene and as his boxing and his reflexes have betrayed him, the return to BJJ Glover has made him as versatile as ever. If he can get a dude down, he normally finds a way to get things done. That's been the Krylov weakness.

7- If you remove adopted Canadian Misha Cirkunov, the earliest we see a Canadian on this card is the FOURTH fight. Is this the worst card in Canada in terms of Canadian fighter representation? The best fighter might be currently undefeated BW Cole Smith.

8- So speaking of Cirkunov, is his UFC run a success or a failure? Cirkunov came into the UFC's 205 lb scene as pretty much an heir apparent to the title picture and he was catered to and fed some so-so competition on his way up the ranks. The likes of debuting talents like Daniel Jolly, Alex Nicholson and Ion Cutelaba are on his resume as well as an impressive enough stoppage over Nikita Krylov. He had a contentious contract negotiation with the UFC before coming back with a brand new deal and losing 3 of his next 4 fights. His only win since 2017 is Pat Cummins which clearly doesn't hold much power these days. That said, he's got a 5-3 record in the UFC and occupies space in their top 15 so isn't that in theory a success? Cirkunov gets Aussie Jimmy Crute in a fight that Cirkunov SHOULD win assuming the Johnny Walker flying knee didn't shatter him irreparably as Crute is super green and stylistically the kind of guy that Cirkunov has beaten up on. This sort of feels like the UFC making the decision that Cirkunov is a gatekeeper now.

9- The last time we saw Todd Duffee, he was throwing a punch so horrendous that a dude on here started an award winning series on bad punches. Todd's had a lot of injuries apparently, some so bad that he was heading PI entirely just to get treatment on them. Duffee's return isn't an easy one either as he gets former LFA champ and solid prospect Jeff Hughes. Hughes lost his UFC debut to Maurice Green in a pretty wild fight and as we've seen, fighters who are in their second fight are very successful. Conversely fighters who haven't fought within a calendar year have a pretty damn poor record.

10- Chas Skelly vs Jordan Griffin is far too good of a fight to be the show opener.

11- Is Augusto Sakai any good or are we wasting our time here?

12- Uriah Hall vs Antonio Carlos Junior is a sneaky good fight between two polar opposite poor fight IQ dudes.

Get Ready For The Teasing

Summary: Getting drunk at another Supernatural convention you find yourself in the bed of your co-star, Alexander Calvert, the next day.

Pairing: Alex Calvert x Reader

Request: by @patrickstumpownsmyass 

Warnings: uhhhh...mentions of alcohol and pranking

Word Count: 2.043

    “And now please welcome the baby on our show. She’s been part of the cast since she was a child and now, several years later, she’s a grown up and-“

    “Woah, calm down, Rob, you’re just gonna end up crying... Please give a round of applause for (Y/F/N)!” 

    The audience erupted into laughter while clapping their hands as you stepped onto the stage, giving Richard and Rob a quick hug before sitting down on one of the stools, Jared and Jensen to your left and Alex and Misha to your right. You slightly raised your hand, waving at the people in front of you before Alex handed you a microphone, a teasing smile on his face since he knew how often you tended to forget grabbing one. Sending a grateful smile in his direction you turned to the first person that was waiting to ask a question.

    Several minutes and questions later you were laughing while Alex told his story about Jared’s prank on him during a scene in which he was supposed to act sad and emotional but Jared ended up playing porn on the laptop he had placed before him.

    “So yea, that was pretty embarrassing…what was the second part of your question again?” Alex asked politely after telling his story.

    “I was wondering if anyone has taken a pity in you yet with all the pranking going on,” the girl giggled.

    “Oh, yea, mostly Misha and (Y/N). I think Misha mainly because he knows what I’m going through and (Y/N) because she feels bad for me…”

    “I gotta say I only started feeling bad for you after that porn prank. Before that, I was secretly helping them prank you.” 

    You sheepishly looked up at your close friend, his mouth opening in shock before he turned and deadpanned at the audience.

    “Do you guys see what I have to deal with every day?” he asked in fake horror before you clasped a hand over his mouth.

    “Oh shush, you like it, you just don’t want to admit it,” you winked at him, some of the fans hollering at the two of you, being used to your flirty back and forth.

    “Alex clearly enjoys it or he wouldn’t constantly hang out with you.”

    The fans freaked out even more after Jensen said those words, heat radiating off your cheeks since he kind of revealed how much time Alex and you actually spend together off set. 

     If you were to say you didn’t have a crush on the Canadian actor would’ve been a lie, you were head over heels in love with him and there was no way denying it. You just had no clue how to act on those feelings, not wanting to ruin your friendship and make things awkward on set but you also desperately wanted to be with him. However, for the sake of your friendship and to keep things comfortable you stayed silent, only keeping the flirting going on between the two of you.

   “Anyways,” you cleared your throat and turned to the other side of the big room, “next question? What’s your name, darling?”

   “Hi, my name is April and I was just wondering how you’re dealing with having someone close to your age on set now, (Y/N)?”

   “Hello, April,” you smiled at the young woman before your eyes drifted away slightly to think about her question.

   “She loves it.” 

   Your head wiped towards Alex, a smirk on his lips and a smug look covering his face.

   “You know what? I hate it,” you turned to the audience, acting like working with the young man was the worst thing you ever had to endure.

   “No, but all jokes aside, it’s nice having someone close to your age on set. I mean Rob already said it while introducing me, I’ve been on this show when I was basically still a child and nearly everyone else on the cast is married and has kids so you sometimes feel a bit left out even though I know it’s no one's intention. But since Alex joined the cast it’s a lot nicer because he actually gets what I’m talking about and we do hang out a lot. And now that he’s also joining us at cons it’s even better, I mean look at how good he’s doing for his first convention!”

   The fans broke out in loud cheering as Alex put his arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to him which only spurred the fans on even more.

   “Alright, last question, guys. I know, I know, it’s sad but we’ll be back soon, promise.” Richard walked towards the right side of the stage and pointed at the guy standing there, prompting him to ask his question.

   “Hey guys, my question for you is: Are there any rituals you have at conventions, anything you’re repeating at every one? Sorry for excluding you in my question, Alex.”

   “It’s alright, man. I’ll have plenty of time to get into some routines and thanks to your question I get to find out what these guys do all the time.”

   You felt a pair of eyes on you and as you turned away from your crush you saw Misha looking at you with a mischievous twinkling in his eyes.

   “No, Misha, please,” you shook your head at the older man, not speaking in the microphone as you begged him to not release your unhealthy habit.

   “You know…(Y/N) here as probably the best habit out of all of us and let me tell you, it’ll completely twist your image of her…” Misha turned to you as you looked down on the ground, mentally preparing yourself for the following words.

   “Do you wanna tell them or should I?” 

   Looking up you saw at least a shimmer of sympathy on his face so you decided just tell everyone yourself.

   “Let me, I can at least make it seem less embarrassing. Okay, so…please don’t judge me for this guys, I know very well it’s everything but healthy. Alright so basically, at every convention, on the last evening we all go and get some drinks and I somehow developed a habit of getting…yea of getting shit-faced drunk. There’s no other way to say it. But I’m lucky enough to never really get a hangover, I just need something to eat and a bit of water and I’m fine and my lovely”- you shot Jensen, Jared and Misha teasing look -“friends always take care of me if I end up not feeling that well or anything.”

   “We do take care of her, guys. She’s like a little sister to us,” Jared rested his arms on your shoulders, emphasising on ‘little’ since you were significantly smaller than him. Then again, everyone looked small compared to the literal giant.

   Hours later you were sat at the bar of the hotel, laughing, talking and mostly drinking with your friends.

   “And here I thought you were an absolute lightweight,” Alex chuckled after you sat down with a new drink in your hand.

   “I never said I wasn’t, I just have nothing to regret the next morning.”

   “Nothing?” he teased, the corners of his mouth twitching which prompted you to lean in closer.

   “That depends on who I spend the night with,” you whispered the words in his ear before leaning back and winking at your slightly flustered costar.

   “Well let’s find out how much you’re gonna regret this night in the morning, shall we?” Alex brought his glass up to his lips, dimples showing on his face as he did.

   Bright lights woke you up, your head pounding slightly as you rubbed your eyes and sat up. Strangely the room you were in looked nothing like your hotel room, obviously the furniture was the same but it was way more messy than yours. 

   Confused you slowly got up from the bed, finding yourself completely dressed save for your shoes which stood at the end of the bed when suddenly the door to the bathroom opened, revealing a very shirtless Alexander Calvert with a toothbrush hanging in the corner of his mouth.

   “Oh, you’re awake. I put an ibuprofen and a bottle of water on the bedside table,” he said before turning to the sink in the bathroom to rinse out his mouth.

   “What happened?” You swallowed the pill and washed it down with a big gulp of water just to sit back down on the bed and looking at the man.

   “Well…you got, as you put it ‘shit-faced drunk’ and I volunteered to bring you to your room but you refused to sleep alone and couldn’t find your keycard so I just took you into my room.”

   “Oh god, I hope I didn’t do anything embarrassing…” you mumbled rubbing your temples as your headache slowly faded away, your stomach grumbling slightly to remind you to eat something soon.

   “Let’s just say you say a lot of interesting things when you’re drunk,” Alex sat down beside you, a sympathetic smile on his face.

   “Like what?”

   “Like the fact that you’re, and I’m quoting you here, ‘absolutely and utterly in love with me and looking at my perfect face and not being able to kiss me can be equalised with torture’…” he trailed off, rubbing his neck before looking at you, your cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

   “I…”- you took a deep breath after swallowing the lump forming in your throat -“I hope this doesn’t make things awkward between us and I can totally understand if you need some distance but please don’t ignore me or anything, I don’t think I could bear that, you’re too important in my life an-“ 

   Alex pressed a finger onto your lips, silencing you.

   “You talk too much, (Y/N),” he sighed before leaning in and connecting your lips, your eyes widening in shock before you closed them, kissing him back. Alex pulled back slightly, his forehead resting against yours. 

   You wanted more of him, needed more of him, so you leaned forward, your lips crashing together as you started to lose yourself in the kiss. Your body instantly relaxed, his hands wrapping around your waist and pulling you closer while your arms wrapped around his neck, your fingers tangling in his damp hair as you slid onto his lap. Alex quickly got up, your legs wrapping around his hips as he spun you around, pressing you into the mattress, his arms keeping him from falling on top of you. His tongue traced your bottom lip, begging for entrance which you granted more than gratefully. Your hands wandered from his hair to his back, pulling at his shirt as you completely forgot the world around you until you heard the door to Alex’s hotel room slam open, causing him to jump away from you. 

   Too late, Jensen, Jared and Misha had seen what had been going on before they interrupted you.

   “Uhhhh…morning?” you cleared your throat while you sat up, adjusting your shirt.

   “We’re just gonna pretend we didn’t see that happen,” Jensen said slowly, clearing his throat before a smirk slowly formed on his lips.

   “Yea…that saves us a lot of awkwardness,” Alex smoothed his shirt down before helping you stand up from the bed, his fingers intertwining with yours.

   “Breakfast?” Jared offered, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder.

   “Good idea. Let’s go.” 

   You followed your friends out of the room into the elevator at the end of the hallway, more than ready to finally get some food inside you.

   “You hopefully know that we’re never going to drop this, like ever again?” Misha turned to around to face Alex and you after he pressed the button next to the doors of the lift.

   “Afraid so,” you mumbled, being aware of just how much teasing you’d have to endure the next few months, especially when you’d get back to film the next season of the show. 

   But you were willing to go through all that if that meant you could be together with Alex, whose hand squeezed yours slightly before giving you a reassuring smile. Yes, with him by your side you were ready to face all the teasing that would get thrown at you.

J2 and politics and how the hellers are misguided

Jensen Ackles said religion and politics are very sensitive topics to talk about.  He is right.  Because no matter how hard you try not to, you are still going to offend someone.  I am South African.  And as a South African, I have access to information that American's don't see because their information outlets are compromised.  Americans are ensconced from the truth.  However, some Americans are themselves aware of this.  It was one of the reasons that Donald Trump is liked by his supporters.  He called out Fake News.  Unfortunately, [and this is a marketing term] Trump is a political gatekeeper.  He tells the truth mixed in with lies, in order to sway your emotions and gain your trust.  Sort of like satan.  Every American news outlet is telling you lies.  Because they all get their news, primarily from a single source: Reuters.  What people don't know is that Reuters is a private company, and not a public entity, operated by the people, for the people and certainly not of truth.  Reuters is owned by the Rothschild dynasty, the richest and most unscrupulous family on Earth.  Americans get information in a way that the Rothschilds deem acceptable.

Jensen also said during one of his latest Vancon panels, that cars had bumper stickers encouraging votes for certain candidates, during the last national elections.  He was baffled by that because why would Canadians care about the American elections.  That alone shows how little Jensen knows.  In fact, Americans generally are the most outspoken and opinionated people when it comes to the opposition and politics.  But they don't realize that they are operating on compromised information.  Even the ones that are ''woke'' because they are using alternative media, don't realize that they are being hoodwinked by the same people, from a different angle.  That is why, even though I have done many posts about Misha and his queer baiting antics, I have never done a single post about his politics.  Because just like Jensen and everyone else in America, Misha is ignorant.  However, he truly believes that what he is saying is right.  And, because fairness is important to me, I could never truly begrudge for his political beliefs.  He doesn't know the whole truth about American politics. 

What irritates me however, is that in the case of the messy topic of politics, because Misha speaks so openly, the hellers and minions demand that that J2 should speak about politics too.  And Jensen, in particular, is easy to push around and so he gives in.  And when he does, he gets slandered for it.  That is why he wasn't talking about politics in the first place, people.  Not everyone shares the same ideals.  And the minute he opens his mouth, ''woke'' SJWs who are themselves not very smart, tear him apart for saying something they did not personally agree with.  Or they will behave like utter hypocrites.  A few days ago, George Bush sr, died.  As a foreigner, I do not see this man as a politician.  I see him and his family as problematic elements in the political world, not just American but global.  However, Americans don't know the whole truth about him.  And he was their leader for some time.  The man is now dead.   And many individuals, including Ellen DeGeneres, tweeted out condolences to him.  Jensen did as well.  And this happened.

Iangallagher is ''woke''.  I am not using that term as a compliment.  To me, a ''woke'' person, is not someone who has woken up to the truth.  They are either, someone who has woken up to compromised lies churned out in alternative media or they are SJWs who have agendas and are masquerading behind the guise of social justice.  So Ian was offended that Jensen sent out a condolence message because a man who just died.  And remember, Jensen is operating on compromised information.  Ian said nothing when Misha did the same thing.

Both actors believed that Bush served the country well as a leader.  And they both did the decent thing by sending condolences.  And a Misha fan [look at Ian's profile picture] decided to tear Jensen apart only.  There are more responses that he sent, about Danneel cheating on Jensen and the twins not being Jensen's babies.  If I met Ian face-to-face and quizzed him about politics, I can assure you there would be many questions he would not be able to answer.  If Ian is a heller and not a minion, I am certain that politics was not the reason, he went after Jensen.  He did it because of destiel. 

The reason why American politics is important to the rest of the world, is because the USA has placed itself as the leader at the helm.  When America makes socio-political changes in their land, it affects the rest of the world, especially monetarily.  America also subtly pushes these changes on other nations because she is a world leader and can do that.  The South African educational system suffers daily because of the Outcome-Based Education system that our Minister of Education imported about America.  ''Woke'' people call Outcomes-based education, the systematic dumbing down of America.  Remember, if I call you woke, I am not complimenting you.  Nobody is dumb.  They are just misinformed.

Charmed (2018)

(Minor spoilers)

I waited a few months, trying to go in this with an open mind. I didn’t google or watch anything about this show since first watching the trailer for the pilot months ago.

Here are my thoughts:

The diversity is great overall. However, I feel like the show is focusing on quantity over quality in that respect. I don’t care if the leads are African American, Latino, Caucasian, Asian, or from Mars. However, the should be able to act! Meaning, have depth / layers.

If any show/movie/or writer is attempting to be diverse, they need to diversify!

While I’m not in show business I hope to publish more stories in the future. So I read whatever I can get my hands on. Books written by Americans, Canadian, British, some from Africa, South America etc. I do this because I’m not only curious but I’m self aware. I want to know what other people do and to gain perspective.

For writers/directors/show runners etc they should watch shows & movies from other countries. British shows are phenomenal in the fact they do everything 100%. The writing feels natural, it’s intelligent, & it flows. The acting is brilliant. Even the people who have 2 lines can act! A couple years ago I watched an old Canadian show (I can’t remember the title) but it was heart wrenching and beautiful. I saw 20 minutes and was in tears...(without knowing who the characters were). The acting was that good. And the cast for many Canadian shows are diverse (though admittedly not ideal), but it feels real. They don’t beat us over the head with it.

- My point is, this 2018 version of Charmed was promoting itself as diverse but that worked for and against itself. Diversity is great but pointing out one’s differences is counterproductive. It’s like saying ‘treat me like everyone else’ and ‘I’m different & unique’ at the same time.

- The CW should have just focused on the actresses/characters being relatable. That’s more about marketing & instructing the actors before they give interviews though.

The special effects are on par with the original Charmed. That’s...not great. 20 years in between the shows. There are better effects out there.

So this tells me the CW was being cheap & didn’t want to pour their money into the special effects. As if the show wasn’t worth it...and if the CW thinks that, I’m not surprised people weren’t happy about the show.

- Also, there are tricks to use less special effects...camera angles etc. From Supernatural (another CW show - the only good one imho) The camera moves around Misha Collins so he can walk out of the frame and poof! Castiel is gone! No special effects required but it still felt real. The CW could do some tricks like that to supplement the budget.

This last episode - the black Smokey demon guys poofed in and out a fair amount. Cool I guess but then the final show down where the sisters slam that staff into the ground and the gate to hell opened, that looked incredibly cheesy. Less poofing earlier = more $ for final showdown special effects. Basic math.

- I actually prefer the original special effects because it was appropriate back then - to the time & technology it was pretty great.

The reboot has constant references to modern technology but it feels like they’re not using modern tech for the special effects.

Female empowerment! Yay! Or rather, what? As a headstrong, independent woman who can hold my own in an argument and that time I got mugged I can honestly say I do NOT support male bashing. Yes there are a lot of rich white men in power that suck but your friends, neighbours, professors, nephews etc have NOTHING to do with that.

This show acts like (well, the way the dialogue is written) every little upset or injustice is because of ‘harassment’ or a rejection of feminism & females. No, one doesn’t have to lead to the other. Your professor is upset with your work or with what you say... it’s possible you’re an idiot. Or maybe you shout the information in a way that’s standoffish which rubs someone the wrong way...

The original Charmed celebrated love. The sisters loved & respected their male friends, brothers-in-law, their father etc. There was an episode where Grams had trouble accepting a male witch into the family but they showed growth & she only felt that way because she was burned by love before. The reboot just tries to create drama where there isn’t any.

Female empowerment is where you feel strong & secure enough to be yourself. To be able to speak your mind, stand up for yourself & be independent. In real life you don’t have to tell people you’re empowered, you just are.

This show distorts that message. Empowerment does not require one to tear down another gender. The sisters from the original Charmed were strong and empowered but they never acted like they were better than anyone else (except demons).

The acting. Oh the acting... so the actors aren’t great. Some are better than others. Unfortunately it’s very distracting and disruptive to the suspension of disbelief. Noticing the poor acting pulls you out of the story so once again people aren’t as invested in the characters or the plot.

The gay characters are fine. I don’t care either way but why the continual reminders? Just BE.

Even on the show Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Daryl’s character is bi and white-Josh (his nickname on the show) is gay. But it’s not annoying and when they talk about it it’s either natural or over the top celebratory. They write it into the show so even the coming out musical number feels authentic. It’s kind of impressive to do that.

- But here on Charmed it’s brought up in a way that feels almost...out of the blue. Difficult to explain but it just doesn’t work. That randomness feels like it was smacking us and going ‘see I’m gay’!

Meanwhile during Crazy Ex girlfriend after 1 episode of Daryl making eyes at White-Josh you root for them. It’s just written so well.

The writing. Sub par. It’s more about the little things but I have predicted the villains a few times.

Whitelighter-that-looks-like-Wesley-from-BTVS-and-Ketch-from-Supernatural...was it necessary to KIDNAP the sisters, bind & confine them to reveal who they are?! And he didn’t get his ass kicked for it?! They were just...okay with it? That’s the first time I felt like they were all idiots. I mean, he could have just...I dunno, had a Conversation with them minus the sketchy kidnapping!

If that had been the OG sisters they’d have been pissed. Prue probably would have sent him flying or hit him with whatever was close by even without her powers.

Most episodes just feel a little...cheesy. So whitelighter (“guardian”) says in an episode ‘you’ll need to use the power of three’. It’s all dramatic and a big show down but it felt cheesy. Looking back I think it was because that actor was probably directed to just act like he was informing them...but because of that it felt like he could care less what happened. It was flat. Plus why did he stand so he was almost pressed against her? Just...awkward.

The actual spells are okay to me and the show has some nice eerie vibes but with the background music, the dialogue and even the title ‘Charmed’ it feels very light. The combo is classic Disney. It’s all fighting against one another.

Another example of minor details which has a big impact. This last episode - cute British guy is like ‘oh!’ And grabs a chair to stop him from being sucked into Hell. Really? That’s gonna do the trick. *sigh* To be fair, the writers go off what the show runners/directors want. So IF they were in a big open room and that was the only thing there, sure grab the chair. However, he was standing next to a door frame!

So I’m guessing the writers either: 1) didn’t know the set design, 2) the powers that be instructed them to ignore that detail, or 3), everyone forgot. Either way it’s sloppy. Not to mention the end result made the whole scene feel very...goofball rather than dramatic.

One of the MOST annoying things about this series is that they throw things in like a checklist. So we talked about...feminism ✔️, LGBTQ ✔️, ethnic minorities ✔️ etc. Seriously CW, you don’t have to squish everything into one episode. It felt too much like name dropping. See, we’re talking about this this and this...see, we’re cool! 😉 it felt so awkward.

If you’re going to go through your checklist at least spread it out. One episode focusing on their long lost sister & new powers. Next episode trouble with being harassed at school, next episode how you navigate your relationship with your girlfriend etc. Everything coming at you while they’re battling a demon is just too much!

The show is entertaining in a way but it was more about seeing if it was going to get better.

After over a decade since the original series ended, the CW still wasn’t prepared for this. Too many issues to like it as anything more than a time filler. Personally I’m not a fan of it and won’t watch anymore.

I also still want the CW to apologize to the original cast & crew for ripping off the show. It won’t make me watch the reboot anymore but it’ll make me feel less guilty for watching my favourite show, Supernatural which is under their control.

A HANDY DANDY CONVENTION CHECKLIST!

Prepping for a convention? Here’s a check list to help you get organised for your trip!

TICKETS Make sure you remember to print out all your tickets! That’s your PDFs/receipts for your convention ticket, photo ops and autographs, plus meet and greet invoice if you’re doing one. Hotels have printers of course, but it’s easier to have them ready to go, rather than trying to find somewhere to print them out while at the convention – because you’ll be busy!

EXTRA TIP FOR HARD TICKETS - CREATION SPECIFIC Some people put the hard tickets (bought at the con, or via PDF ticket exchange) in the back of their lanyard - they can fall out! Be aware of them at all times, or find a safter place for them! You can jot your name and seat number on the back, so if you do drop them and someone finds them, they can find you, or turn them into Creation who can find you. (Fingers crossed if you lose a ticket, someone honest finds them!)

ELECTRONICS Camera – with spare batteries and memory card and associated cords. Phone Laptop/iPad/iPod All your chargers! All your charger cables!

It’s also great to bring an extra battery pack for your phone, because there usually isn’t anywhere to quickly charge your phone without going back to your room, so if you have a pre-charged battery backup with you that can help keep in touch!

If you do forget something, you always have fan backup – someone will lend you that charging cable that mysteriously got left behind!

PENS A pen – for filling out reupping forms – and for writing down your email or twitter for new friends! Highlighter pens – for highlighting the schedule Coloured Sharpie – if you don’t want black or silver for your auto, bring your own coloured Sharpie pen!

PAPER Always bring some kind of notebook – just in case you want to jot down notes from a panel, or something someone told you, names, emails, twitter handles (as Jensen calls them) etc!

SOMETHING TO PUT YOUR PHOTO OPS IN You need something to put your photo ops in so they don’t bend and get ruined! You can buy great hard sleeves in the vendor’s room, but I find that sometimes the photos can get stuck in them! So be careful of that! A document display folder with plastic inserts, or a ring-binder with plastic inserts is great. Or just a hard plastic document envelope. The photos printed out at the con are 10x8, so anything that fits A4 or larger works.

WHATEVER YOU’RE GOING TO GET AUTOGRAPHED If you have something specific that you’re getting signed, don’t forget to pack it! The Vendors room has photos and books and some other items that can be used for autos if you don’t have something specific.

SNACKS AND WATER Soooooo important! Many of the convention hotels/convention centres don’t have much (or any) food available, or you have to go out to get food (and did I mention how busy you’ll be?), or it’s super expensive. So pack your own. If you’re travelling and can’t pack a sandwich or anything, even if it’s just some fruit or nibblies to take into the convention auditorium, that will help to keep your energy up.

The days are long, you might not get much sleep, you might be drinking more alcohol than usual, the hotels and convention centres are heavily air-conditioned, so it’s also super important to stay hydrated. If you can pickup a bulk pack of water at Target or a supermarket or something, that’s going to save you money and you’ll have water in your room and to take to panels! Seriously, snacks and water. Get on that!

*CREATION CON SPECIFIC - There is also a large water dispenser with cups inside the auditorium. You can use that water throughout the day, and you can also fill up your own water bottle from the supplied water dispensers to save more money. 

HANDOUTS - Twitter/Tumblr/email Print out your Twitter @  or/Tumblr/email addy on little pieces of paper that you can hand out to your new fandom friends who want to be able to follow or contact you. You can make them simple, or into cool little business cards!

EXTRA MONEY – BUT BUDGET! Um. Cons are expensive. Outside of the costs of hotel accommodation and all your tickets that you’ve already paid for, you’ll also have to buy food and drinks (unless you packed them as per the awesome tip above!) The Vendor’s room or vendor’s areas at a con has cool stuff, t-shirts, books, stickers, mugs, glasses, posters, standees, all sorts of jewellery, and various other goodies that you might want. There may even be a guest that you didn’t get an op with, but when you see their panel, you feel you absolutely must hug the living hell out of them, (oh believe me, it happens!), so you just have to get another op! So take a little extra money, just in case. But budget…because it’s real easy to get swept up into the con craziness and want all the things and all the ops (speaking from experience), so make sure you set yourself a budget!

Make sure you have ID on you too, in case that is needed for credit card purchases!

YOUR OUTFITS Okay, I know, d’uh, you’re going to pack clothes! But if you’ve decided on a specific outfit, whether something pretty or something cosplay, make sure you have all the necessary bits! I always plan what I’m wearing for each day ahead of time. That way I don’t have to pack loads of options and I don’t have to think about it at the con. Some days (especially Saturday and Sunday) can start quite early, and the last thing you’re going to want to do is be trying on outfits like crazy. 1. You won’t have time. 2. You don’t want to increase your stress! So pre-plan your outfits and pack all the elements you decide on to make them perfect.

And bring something warm to take into the panels - it can be chilly in the auditorium!

CREATION SPECIFIC - CASH FOR CHRIS – the Creation photographer If you are buying JPEGS of your photo-ops you will need $US to give to Chris the photographer. Each photo op you have, comes with 1 10x8 print – but only 1. You can purchase JPEGS of each photo for $10 per JPEG. There is a number on the photo – you give that number to Chris or his offsiders. Each photo’s JPEG you purchase costs $10 and you must have cash for that. So when you know what photo-ops you’re getting, figure out before hand which you may need (if there’s more than one of you in the photo) or want a JPEG of and ensure you have enough $US on you. If you are at a Canadian con – you can use Canadian dollars but as Chris is from the US, US dollars are better for him. The JPEGS are super high quality, large files, which can be printed to LARGE canvas size if you want (speaking from experience).

NOTE - Chris supplies the JPEGS via an email link to Google Drive. Expect to get them within about a week or two after the con depending upon Chris’ other con and family commitments. Be patient - he will get them to you!

If you don’t have the cash at hand to buy the JPEGS at the convention, you can still buy them after the con. Go to the Creation website and follow the link and you’ll be able to contact Chris via there. See info below!

TISSUES/VITAMINS/PAIN KILLERS ETC. There’s lots of aircon in the hotels/convention areas and you may get a running nose – you don’t want to be snuffly or snotty – pack tissues. Eyedrops – for the same reason, the aircon may dry your eyes out and make them sore and red. It’s also not a bad idea to pack some Vitamin B or C to keep your energy up and immune system working. Pack some Paracetamol or/and Ibuprfen in case of headache or backache or hangover! I always take hay fever medication with me – I never know if something is going to affect me in a place I’m not used to (Vancon for example, gives me hives…WHY I DO NOT KNOW!). I also bring cough/cold medication. I have got super sick at cons! It sounds like a lot, but seriously, I have got sooo sick and having stuff on hand has been a life saver. I also always travel with Bepanthen because I get tatts when I travel :D Also don’t forget extra contact lenses if you need them, and pack band aids (especially if you have new shoes.)

And remember, you are going to be somewhere where you can buy things, so don’t overpack. If you forget toiletries or need something, you will be able to buy at the con. Most cons are held in a hotel, all of which have some form of shop for emergencies - fangirls are also a great back up. 

BREATHMINTS/GUM You’re going to want to pop a mint before you go into a photo op! You’re about to get up close and personal with Jensen Ackles, and you don’t want to breathe coffee breath all over him! Pack mints.

PERFUME/MINI DEODERANT For the same reason as the mints. You’re about to hug the crap outta Misha Collins – you don’t want “been sitting for 6 hours in the same shirt” smell as you squish into him!

LITTLE PURSE MIRROR Perfect for checking your lippy, hair, making sure you don’t have kale in your teeth – as you wait in line for your photo op. Don’t worry, EVERYONE is doing it!

HAND SANITISER. OMG YESSSS! Con crud is a thing. Protect yourself at all costs! Santitise like your health depends on it! IT DOES!

BAGS I get asked about bags a lot - what bag can you take to a convention. For Creation, at this stage there is no restriction on the bag you bring into a panel, however the bag must easily fit under your chair or the chair in front of you. You can not keep bags in aisles or anywhere they may be an obstruction or a saftey issue. 

For Karaoke - it is requested that you do not bring a bag of any kind. So only bring a bag if it is vital - ie if you require a bag for medication, ensure you let the people manning the door know.

If you have a camera, and do not need that bag - bring it without. 

For the Saturday Night Special Concert - once again, avoid bringing a bag. If you do bring a bag for the concert, it must be small purse size, or a camera bag.

Note: there is security and all bags will be checked so DO NOT BRING A BAG to Karaoke or the concert.

ALCOHOL Creation do not allow alcohol at their events, there is no alcohol permitted at Karaoke or the Saturday night concert, or in panels. (There wasn’t even alcohol allowed at the Hawai’i con luau dinner! Seriously.)

That’s it for now! But I’ll keep adding more as more tips come up!

Supernatural Convention

Hello people!

I want to tell you guys about my experience to the Supernatural Convention! I recently went to the Montreal Supernatural Convention. Let me tell you that I had a blast!

The actors were so kind and I fell even more in love with them and the show (and I am already a huge fan). I had a pleasure to talk to: Kim Rhodes (Jody Mills), Lisa Berry (Billie), Matt Cohen (young John Winchester) and Richard Speight Jr (Gabriel), Rob Benedict (God) which I also got a photo Op, Misha Collins (Castiel) also had a photo Op with him dressed as Cass, Jensen Ackles (Dean) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) I had a photo Op with both Jensen and Jared. I also saw the panels of Ruth Connel (whom I had already met at Comic Con last year), Rachel Miner (Meg), Sebastien Roche (Balthazar) and Mark Pellegrino (Lucifer).

It had always been a dream for me to go at a Supernatural Convention, but I never had the chance because I never knew that they were some in Canada (I know now that there is one in Toronto). I spent the best 2 000$ (Canadian) of my life and would do it again.

The point of this post is to share how I really discovered how strong the Supernatural family is. I already knew, but seeing it was a totally new experience.

Being able to meet those people I see, idolize and that changed my life in fresh and blood? It was totally unreal. I was so scared to cry at the sight of Jensen and Jared, but the second I saw them for the photo op the first thing that I said was to Jared: Wow, you are so tall!

I know, I know, looking back to this moment, I would say something else. And I also forgot to give them hugs, the photo ops were going so fast! But it is totally understandable, seeing the amount of people in line. However, I got to talk to them and thank them for their hard work at the autograph. Jared was so kind, and I died when he said goodbye flying a kiss with his hand. And I died when Jensen said ‘Hey’ with his deep voice (this sound like a crazy fan I know). This was how my convention ended, and where I started to cry of joy.

I was so sad to see all my family leave, I never was good talking with people, but we all had the same interest that it all went along.

But, let’s rewind shall we? I want to point a quote Kim Rhodes said (a highlight of hers and Lisa Berry’s panel): “There’s a courage that comes when someone is shattered by love again. There is no amount of pain, ever, that will make love not worth it”. I swear, I needed that Jody hug.

All the panels were so amazing! Sebastien Roche was hilarious, it was seriously a show. He was speaking a lot of French which was amazing! Even Rob and Richard were speaking some ‘Franglais’. I loved this so much, me having French as my first language, was amazed. Also learning that Lisa Berry speaks French!

If you ever want to see the panels, they are all on YouTube.

And for the last part, I want to share another amazing experience, I was one of the winner for the music video contest! And this is where I want to ask you guys a question: at the other conventions, where there more than one winner? Because we had like five winner, I won on Sunday and everyone got the same certificate and same prize.

However, I had worked so hard on it, and stressed so much because I didn’t know if it had arrived in time. I had to pay the shipping twice and it was so expensive! But seeing my video on the big screens was amazing. Here is the link if you want to see it:

In all, that convention was the best convention I have ever been, and I have been to so many to kpop, anime, books… this one was a dream. At first I was saying to everyone that it was going to be my one and only, but I quickly changed my mind.

Question for you guys! Did someone went to Montreal Supernatural Convention? I’m very curious. Also, if you guys went to a Supernatural Con, what was your best moment?

I probably missed some highlights of the Con, but I cannot wait to make more.

SPNLV - samantha ferris

Q: when you came back in s6, what was your fave part of coming back

A: seeing jim again, he was one of the first people i worked with, sitting and doing shots with misha, just getting to come back to that family. Spn is one of the only shows i’ve ever seen where the crew makes sure they come back so it’s a family

Q: yesterday you said there were things you didn’t just talk about when you were younger, was there an age or even where you just reached “fuck it”

A: i was always a precocious kid... um, i was always pretty strong, i never brought up that stuff we didn’t have words for that stuff, but i was always loud. But i was insecure, but i think i was in my thirties before I finally just grew into it. I grew up not feeling worthy enough, but I finally grew into it. Bit of a pandora’s box right now, women can speak up now. Times are changing for women, minorites, race, lgbt. You couldn’t speak up before, your parents couldn’t speak up, they didn’t know how. It sounds so foreign but that’s just how it was. But that’s changing, there doesn’t have to be an age now, everyone can speak up

Q: comics, who would you want to meet

A: does robert downey jr count? You know there’s some actors you just love to watch no matter what, he’s one of those

Q: Casting process, auditioning, character at audition vs her evolution

A: auditioning is the most stressful part of acting, you’re standing in front of 8 people who are judging everything in the room. I hate auditions. Ellen, it’s funny, it wouldn’t have gone to me, american show in canada and they didn’t trust canadian actors to act yet, they threw larger characters to LA. Casting director brought me in, went in and read, booked it, and weeks later and Kim and Phil said “LA really wanted someone else but you’re it”

Q: How do you think losing the roadhouse effected ellen

A: it was her base. She was a survivor, she was always on the run. I think she could have packed up and left in two minutes, i think the heartbreak there was more for the hunters, that was their safe place to meet and get information. The hunters didn’t have cellphones and twitter, they had no way to get information, so Ellen would have felt for them. Where would she be able to help people

Q: From yesterday, you said you can’t blame women from the last generation for not speaking up, that’s been going through my head

A: thank you, if we did more talking about this stuff, i know it’s difficult, but this is why because communication is key to healing. We got to talk about it, people don’t talk about it. Looking back and saying “you didn’t protect us”, but looking at and going “you did the best you could” and learning to forgive them.

Q: is there a series that brought you back to your childhood with the music

A: no but there was a movie, take me home tonight, it was really cute and it was all the music from highschool

Q: weirdest and best piece of fanmail

A: weirdest is some fanfic, and I know it’s not for us and thank god, I had two pages of that sent to me. I have some artwork, I have all the artwork at home, a book a girl made of quotes and drawing

Q: what is your fave kind of pie

A: my mom makes really good pie, I would go with rhubarb and raspberry or blackberry rhubarb

Q: you mentioned on twitter that you didn’t get a job because of something with body shape, how do you not internalize it?

A: this is a tough business, you have to have a thick skin. I go in to shows with these little kids and the script says “fattest kid in the class, bullied all the time”, and I said to this girls parents, “how did you handle it?” They said, we talked to her and made sure she was comfortable and okay with it. You have to blow hollywood off, surround yourself with people that support you

Q: when you were last on the show demons were the big bad, what would ellen think about the recent big bads

A: she’s ellen, right, she rolls with the punches. She’d be like, hi who are you - she’s a bit of a dude, she’d go “do i eat it kill it or screw it” and do it. I don’t think anything would really throw her.
