#Jared on Sam

[peanutbutterandbananasandwichs]

Ok, I'm alive (barely) so Jared question storytime !

So I'm including this as context because it's why I feel a little 😧 about the answer he ended up giving (not in a bad way just like I was a little shocked re his answer).

So the person 2 questions before me (I think they were the 2nd question overall) asked a REALLY inappropriate question to both of them that was "which of your childhood traumas left the deepest scar" which I'm sure you can imagine pretty much everyone in the hall was little jesus christ when they heard that. Anyways Jared and Misha handled it very well, much better than I ever could, but for obvious reasons basically didn't answer the question.

THEN they started screening questions beforehand and I was like 😬 idk if I can ask mine now but I can't think on my feet enough to ask a different one and I assured the steward that I was asking purely about Jared's acting approach.

Anyways so I went and asked my question, I did slip in a kinda jokey apology that I didn't know someone would ask that right before me lol.

So I started my question by saying how wonderful his portrayal of Sam as a trauma survivor was and I thanked him for how much care he put into it and said it was very important to me and to so many people and then just said thank you again.

And I barely remember what he looked like what I was speaking during this bit because I was blacking out hahaha but I'm 90% certain he did that really sweet sincere face and clutched his hands over his heart and ahfgchfghbb.

Anyways then I asked him specifically about how when Sam flinches at sudden noises/violence he often looks embarrassed/ashamed about his reaction and I said that obviously he shouldn't have to feel that way but that it rang very true to life/to Sam in specific. And I asked if that was something that was in the script or if it was something he thought was how Sam would react/was that something he'd intentionally brought to his portrayal of Sam's trauma.

And he said it was a great question. And was like yes, it was absolutely intentional, and I think he said a little bit about his thought behind it which I do not remember cause again, blacking out, lmao.

Anyways, then he kinda referenced the terrible childhood trauma question, and then said that when he was a kid there was a drive-by shooting outside of his house, and that even though everyone in his family was ok it had really affected him, and that he was hyper vigilant, super reactive to noise, really jumpy etc and had had to have therapy to help with it. And basically kinda said that he'd used that a bit with Sam.

And he thanked me for the question again and for sharing that that aspect of Sam was important to me.

So yeah I was a bit like idk if he would have gone that direction if the other question hadn't been asked and it made me feel a little bit like oh I hope he didn't think I expected him to give such a personal answer. But on the other hand he didn't answer that other question, but then did tell that story in answer to my question so I have to assume that my question made him feel more comfortable than the previous one did.

Jared said in interviews that he wasn't flexing his chest whenever he's shirtless he admitted he has a nervous chest twitch because he's self-conscious during shirtless scenes, so my headcanon made from that is Sam twitches adorabley under Dean's gaze and Dean loves it when just from his look alone Sam's chest scrunched

Dean would start ogling him after he goes back on the road with him and he is very unsubtle about it. He knows that Sam knows but it doesn't matter and he just keep staring, making Sam feel even more self-conscious and twitchy but he won't stop Dean either

Hey fandom, help us out? Related to this post:

I've been trying to scour through my tags, but I can't remember if it was on twitter or at a con. Anybody have dates or links?

Sorry I'm not over the fact that Jared said Sam was cozy in his grief after Dean died.

I love Jared’s take on this, he’s very thoughtful.

Obviously this is just Jared’s headcanon, but I think there’s something really poignant in the lesson that he thought Sam would want to pass on (Jared CE panel 22 Nov 20)

Actually the reason why we never saw Bobby and John interact is because Bobby would’ve beat the shit out of John on the spot.

I know I'm a little late, but how amazing would it have been if Sam had literally been a moose for an entire episode?

Can you imagine what we would have been deprived of

like, the possibilities that would have arisen

just imagine

please Kripke. just because

and bonus:

supernatural so silly bc you get stuff like "he was poisoned by belladonna" "the pornstar?" but you also get insanely profound "freedom is a length of rope and God wants you to hang yourself with it"

This'll be the first time they're on screen together since The Scene...

[teebeeache1234]

something just feels so right about being a teenage girl and watching supernatural for the first time. like i'm giggling on my bed with my feet in the air as a watch three muscular men fight monsters and demons and ghosts. everything is just as it should be... the universe is in perfect balance.

“Destiel is Misha’s fault” “Destiel is Jensen’s fault” actually Destiel is Jared Padalecki’s fault cause he couldn’t stop messing with Misha and that’s why Cas has more scenes with Dean than he does Sam. So
