The more I watch Misha just be Misha Collins and recognize his very natural mannerisms and tone and expressions the more impressed by his acting I am cause Cas has barely any of them. Cas is a whole separate entity. Even the alt versions of Cas have their own.
Kudos baby boi who started acting out of sheer spite.
I know some people hate it, but I love it when people ask J2 some of the same questions about Sam & Dean because it's fun to see how their answers change or don't change.
In regards to their characters' biggest regrets, Jared's been consistent about Amelia, for years now, but Jensen's answer changes from con to con.
In recent back to back cons, he's said that Dean doesn't have regrets and then, at the next con, he said that Dean regretted being unable to save Castiel.
Would love to wait a bit and then ask them the same question and see if Jensen's answer changes again.
local canadian man very disappointed to learn that there are no sexy men having gay hookup sex in the trade center bathrooms of Trenton, New Jersey. reports say his dreams of cruising in America are completely shattered by this unfortunate reality. more news at 11.
Home from MomentoCon, it was definitely nowhere near the energy and attendance of the first year, without Misha this time around, and the organization was a clusterfuck. BUT I still managed to have a mostly good time even while doing an artist's table all weekend.
I basically was the only vendor with specifically Destiel art & merch (including a giant banner/scarf of my Nov 5 piece from last year) that was like a beacon to all Hellers to come by. Sold some stuff (including 3 originals!) but more than that it was such a boost to the confidence to hear so many encouraging and lovely things about my art. I struggle a lot with feeling "seen" after some of my early experiences at conventions with my art were a lot less positive...guess I've finally hit my stride and found my niche, y'know?
Nicest guest experiences were with DJ Qualls and Lauren Tom, both had such wonderful things to say about my art - DJ literally asked if HE could come hug me after seeing my Garth painting! He's so adorable. Rob's rooftop acoustic concert was very chill and I got goosebumps hearing him play "Fare thee well" live. Oh and the hubster and I did a Mark S meet & greet Sunday before packing up, so that's another off my bucketlist.
People have been asking me for data on comparisons between how the cons are selling, so here's a comparison between some of the current cons. Please keep in mind these are not 1 to 1 comparisons and I may have miscounted. As always, if you notice errors in the post, please let me know.
Chicago con announced June 23. J2M attending.
36 front row and 160 main gold sold so far.
SFcon announced Aug 9 with Jared presumed at reups, but only Jensen and Misha confirmed.
36 front row and 107 regular gold sold so far.
Indy announced Sept 15 with Jensen and Misha confirmed, but people could get refunds on reups because the date moved.
18 front row and 55 regular gold sold so far.
Columbus announced Aug 29. Jensen and Misha and under new ticketing system and no reups for this or the next two cons.
18 front row and 75 general gold sold so far.
Seattle announced Sept 20. Jensen and Misha.
10 front row and 62 general gold sold so far.
Burbank announced Sept 22. Jensen and Misha
12 front row and 26 general gold sold so far.
So there you have it. Please check my math. It was a pain to count those stupid little dots.
It’s not “now sold out” they sold out weeks ago: https://x.com/livinfaraway/status/1757158340163956985?s=46 and also sold out in Columbus: https://x.com/outerspaceangie/status/1758556479336890845?s=46
It’s also obvious they added JDM because SPN CE cons have always been a trio headliner event. You lose a headliner, you replace them. It’s all about $$$. Who else if of the same popularity who could replace Jared?
These cons were first announced in Sep'23 and the sold out tweet of yours were from 13th Feb 2024 so yeah they have only now been sold out.
Also, last year the con was called J2 and friends right? With only them attending the Sunday panel right? So how were there three headliners.
The 3 headliner thing seems to be the same thing that Misha stans do saying that the show had three leads when Misha was no where near J2's level of screen time.
Misha stans and probably Creation were definitely working with the assumption that Cockles is popular enough that J2 is no longer needed which has been burst.
