While you faithless hoors are busy swooning over Jensen singing with Chris Kane, SOME of us remain committed to the Epic Bromance Of Our Time and have spent the day contemplating:

JARED TENDERLY PICKING SCHMUTZ OUT OF JENSEN'S EYEBALL:


Seriously, I have been thinking about this picture since I saw it yesterday. Does anyone know when/where this was taken? It looks like it's from a con a few years ago but the con appearances sort of blur together for me.

I see pictures like this and I understand why there's such a disproportionate number of fics in this fandom where Jared is safeguarding or rescuing or just generally taking care of Jensen. You know, at first I thought it was just the height thing that people were picking up on. But Jared really does have this way of looking at Jensen that's very caring, that's almost...protective.

Oh, Double-J. I'll always be true to you.

Aw, fuck it. BOYS!

I like Chris in the mix in terms of being yet another on the Take-Care-and-Watch-Over-Jensen Team. Or possibly a way to make Jared extremely green-eyed jealous AHEM.

But J2, def.

Yes. Jensen is such a rare and delicate flower that he needs a sort of pit crew of buddies to look out for him. Or maybe he's just s'darn purty that EVERYBODY LOVES HIM.

Or possibly a way to make Jared extremely green-eyed jealous AHEM.

Seeing as how it's JENSEN who callously moved out on JARED, I'd think it should be the other way around *COUGH*.

*laughs* It's nuts, because he's a big strong guy, but somehow, working in Jared's looming shadow brings out the protective streak. Profusely.

I don't recognize that moving-out thing as fact in my universe, thank you. In Emland they are still happily copulating co-habitating.

Yes, I think it all comes down to the looming. Jared is basically so tall that he winds up looking like anyone's bodyguard. It doesn't help that there's something so vulnerable-seeming about Jensen. I don't know if it's because he's so pretty or because he always looks so uncomfortable at these functions but Jared's just like his seven-foot life preserver.

I don't recognize that moving-out thing as fact in my universe, thank you.

Duly noted.

Eh? It hasn't happened and it's never going to happen imho. Why would he? It's just another season, why should he move out?

Perhaps Jensen's girlfriend didn't appreciate having Jared as a roommate quite as much as Jensen did?

I do.

But that's exactly it. I'm giving her advice that she should love Jared, too. Who wouldn't?

:D

I'm sure she loves Jared very much as long as she doesn't have to see him at breakfast every morning.

Heheh. *points icon*

Sorry. *hangs head*

:D

But I think I'll always be J2-shipper (and not with GF's, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeee!)

In that pic Jare is demonstrating how he did that to Jen sometime before while they were at a restaurant. Can you imagine that??

And - protective!Jared/protected!Jensen is ♥!

I did see that in the gagreel but I hadn't realized until now that the eyeball picking was a habitual thing. They're so frigging cute.

It's the look on Jared's face that really sells it. Seriously, just look at it!

The thing is, Jared's always looking at Jensen that way. That's just what I'm talking about, that combination of affection and protectiveness and...I don't even know what to call it. His whole face just melts when he looks at him.

Um. Unfortunately too drunk tired to be able to say more than AWWWWWW BOYS! But I agree with you and also have a drunken very insistent plotbunny asking why Jensen is so cool with Jared's... ministrations.

Hee. They make me happy and I heart them both. <3

Jensen doesn't seem to mind Jared's hands on him, does he?

oooh...lovely picture! I've seen a vid of this, and it is from a con, but I have no idea which one...

I am so far inside the fanon of Jared's protectiveness that when I read that Jensen had said he moved in to help support Jared after he broke up with Sandy, I kept thinking, 'but wait, Jensen, you're the vulnerable one!'

It must come from all the looking, and Jared's looming, but also from Jensen's weird and enchanting vibe of being both totally, jock-ishly healthy and shy and emotionally vulnerable at the same time...

You see him come apart on screen, and you think it must come from somewhere, but it probably doesn't. It's probably some quirky facility, like learning languages easily, or being able to do an effortless headstand.

Oh Jensen--so mysterious in your lack of mysteriousness!

This sentence perfectly encapsulates the heretofore inexplicable magic of J2. Congratulations.

Oh Jensen--so mysterious in your lack of mysteriousness!

I often think that Jensen is probably the most normal, down-to-earth, dullest guy you could meet. I mean, we're talking a 31-year-old man who spends his free time at golf tournaments, wearing argyle sweaters...Kurt Cobain he ain't. But that's exactly what makes him so appealing in his endearingly bashful, argylish way. Well, that and his stupefying good looks.

when I read that Jensen had said he moved in to help support Jared after he broke up with Sandy

Really? I'd always thought this was J2 fanon that became enshrined as gospel truth. I can't imagine that Jensen would actually say such a thing -- Jared I can see running his mouth but this seems like the sort of private thing that Jensen just wouldn't talk about. I don't think Jensen ever said anything about why he moved in with Jared, did he? Or wasn't there some thing about Jensen's lease being up or...did I make that up?

As with all great historical events, there are many, many versions of the roots and causes of J2 cohabitation. I must have read at least four, including the one about the lease. So--who knows? But, the "support Jared" theory comes from here I'm sure I read a con report of Jensen actually saying this in his Asylum '09 coffee lounge, but can't find it again right now... Some day, there'll be dissertations written--

But that's exactly what makes him so appealing in his endearingly bashful, argylish way. Well, that and his stupefying good looks.

Got a 404 error on that link but I'm sure there's some substantiation to the story. We just need to get it on FILM, y'know, actually coming out of the horse's mouth. I think the truth is probably some combination of Jensen actually needing a new place to live but not wanting to look for one and Jared being kind of mopey after breaking up with Sandy so it was a thing that just worked out for both of them at the time and gave us many, many adorable stories to hash and rehash.

That's why my friend, who is a Dean girl, prefers Jared when it comes to seeing them at cons. Because Jared is so funny and animated. Unlike Jensen.

But I have Jensen anytime anyday anyhow.

I have to admit that if some freakish alignment of the stars and planets gave me a choice between Jared and Jensen, I'd go for Jared. I totally find Jensen more physically attractive but in the long run I prefer a guy who's fun and animated and who can talk a blue streak.

Jensen is the boy my mother would try, with absolutely no subtlety, to set me up with. And yeah, I'd think he was nice-looking and all, but Jared is the boy I'd bring home instead. :D

Hey Oselle,

I just wanted to leave a comment about Lazarus came forth. Spent the last few days listening to the audio version at work and was BLOWN AWAY!
You have an amazing gift and I enjoyed your fic... dare I say it... more than watching the show. Your AU felt amazing realistic and probable.
Thanks for making my work week bearable.

I know you posted this ages ago but I was just alerted by your recent nostalgia post to come over here searching for your J2 fics, and found this! And you know, you are absolutely right about the way Jared looks at Jensen - check out this recent photo from the Asylum Europe convention...
Image (http://s830.photobucket.com/albums/zz224/Amberdreams1960/?action=view&current=-J2loveAE263567.jpg)
This is the around that moment (you must have seen) when Jared closes Jensen's mouth, with a hand under the chin...

LOL, no I haven't seen. I tend to avoid con reports and videos these days -- not sure why. Sadly, I think it's because no matter how cute Jared and Jensen still appear in public, the old magic is gone -- if in fact, it was ever really there and not just mugging for the camera.

From: [identity profile] amber1960.livejournal.com
Ah, I can assure you, that magic is definitely still there, and the cons is where you can see it most strongly these days (especially the recent European ones..) Seeing them so comfortable and relaxed with each other lately has made me very happy!

Oh BTW I think some of my J2 fics are flocked. Except for Avalanche they were all really awful PWP. If you're into that sort of thing I can track them down and unflock them?

That would be very civil of you! I think I am becoming an addict and you can feed my addiction if you like, I won't say no...:D
