Jared’s not-so-solo Saturday JIB panel
Jared didn’t feel good on Saturday. He said it in the morning J2 panel.
Later, he mentioned not feeling great to several people in his photo ops. When they had autos, people saw him pull Jensen away and they held a private conversation that ended with Jared saying something like “No, I’ll be fine.” Right after that was Jared’s solo panel. Except it wasn’t a solo panel at all. Jensen left his autos and got Rich and Rob and they ALL went out with Jared.
Which wasn’t even true really?
He then spent the entire beginning of the panel deflecting questions:
And providing a distraction for Jared who clearly didn’t feel great. He sang KISS acapella :
He blew bubbles at Jared:
He said this after the first question got interrupted by all the joking around, which was interesting:
He cooled himself off with a fan:
Which they both drank. Very sweet.
He flicked bubbles off of Jared:
And told him not to show off his butt:
Honestly? I think Jensen would have ridden a unicycle and juggled if it helped Jared.
And Jared clearly did need him there.
When Jensen acted like he was going to leave:
Jared reaches out to stop him.
Jensen stayed there until Daniela showed up and LITERALLY dragged him off stage to go back to autos:
I know JIB weekend is hard on both of them. It’s the anniversary of a very bad time. It just warms my heart that Jared felt sick and Jensen went into full protective mode, even making sure Rob and Rich would still be with him if and when Jensen had to go. As my friend described it, Jensen was all MAYDAY MAYDAY ALL HANDS ON DECK JARED NEEDS US the second he realized Jared was a little off.
I think this gif of the big screen behind them sums it up best. Jensen over Jared’s shoulder protectively having his back:
