Via light_up, who is just bringing me joy all over the place today:

When we last saw susannaheanes, she was waxing poetic about the holy perfection that is our lord and savior, Jensen Ackles, who is "an enigmatic prism we can’t help following" who "just gives, and gives, and keeps on giving," "adds sparkle to our days" and "reminds us of what it means to be human." And, oh, yeah, has "freckles that tempt one to think of melted drops of caramel, fresh for the tasting" and eyes "as clear and luminous as the tranquil sea" in which "you think you can see all the way to his soul."

As an encore, she extensively trolled both the FW post and my post on the subject, left the internet forever because her good name had been so ruined she could no longer sign her children's birthday cards (time before undeleting her LJ: less than 48 hours), and then internet-sued the JF admins and the FW mods as well as snacky and I (I believe this is still ongoing--I wait daily for my court summons).

And now she is back, baby! With tinhat crazy that FILLS ME WITH GLEE. See, there was this little con called All Hell Breaks Loose in Australia last weekend, which some of you crazy kids may have heard about. Jensen and Jared were there, along with the wacky and delightful Misha Collins, who is somewhere near the top of my favorite-people-ever list after his oh-so-accurate summation of why his character took off like gangbusters in SPN fandom when all the other attempts at recurring characters have been so loathed they've been written off the show.

And, in a bizarre twist that no sane fan could have ever predicted, after a season of working together, it appears that Misha has actually become friends with our heroes the Js! What's that, you say? Their deep and all-abiding soulbond allows them to befriend people other than each other? How can it be so? But the con provided many examples of Misha cavorting freely with SPN's big gay teddy bears, at one point becoming so comfortable that he actually simulates the buttsex on poor unsuspecting Jared (I did mention that he was wacky and delightful, right?), while Jensen facepalms with his whole body and then declares he wants no part of this (a GIF, if you don't want to watch the youtube video).

keepaofthecheez, seeing the humor potential in an SPN cast member simulating sodomy with another while a third hides his face in shame, chose to celebrate this moment of beauty and truth by making a deep, intellectual, flawlessly argued vid proving Jensen's deep-seated jealousy and pain at seeing his real-life boyfriend so publicly violated (set to a Taylor Swift song--JoBros connection for the win!). It's funny. Many people laugh. For a brief shining moment, SPN fandom looks sane.

And then! susannaheanes and her merry flist to the rescue! JENSEN'S EPIC MANPAIN IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, Y'ALL. And if you don't get that, you obviously didn't see the close-ups of Jensen's heartbroken face (I didn't get this cap, damn it). It isn't funny, and why would anyone mock a picture when Jensen looks so deeply uncomfortable? And don't try to bring any of that pesky sanity about contexts-- close-ups ARE context. And JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS PASSIONATE IT DOESN'T MEAN HIS EMOTIONS ARE CHEAP.

ETA: More shiny, preserving here for posterity (you know, back in the day I thought the Dom/Elijah tinhats were something special. Thank you, SPN fandom, for working so hard to prove me wrong):I mean, the whole thing was kind of a cheapening of something valuable because Jared and Misha sort of turned what they actually do into a joke for fangirls. Because everything at these conventions is done for the fangirls which is ironic because so many people then go around and talk about how they feel like they know the guys from con footage and stuff.

Either way, it makes sense that fangirl entitlement would make folks think he was part of "the show" as it were, but at the same time, there is this little thing called COMMON SENSE that should clue you in to the fact that he's not.

Comments of the deeply butthurt variety are still rolling in, though no one has yet found a way to make it Danneel's fault, alas. I'm sure that's coming!

In the meantime, I am desperately, desperately hoping this is the crew spreading those "ZOMG KRIPKE HIRED MISHA AS A BEARD TO HIDE JENSEN AND JARED'S TRUE LOVE!!!1111" rumors. And that they will post about it publicly soon. Because that's some funny shit, and god knows we could use it.

ETA, pt. 2: Alas, locked. All links to original wank now go to caps, and here's everything I got in order:

tinhats, wank, batshit, j2, supernatural
