Mom finally warmed up to Mr Noodle.

I wasn’t going to make a post about this, but since I’m a Sam/Jared girl, I’m sure people are assuming how I feel about this whole thing and I want to make it very clear where I stand.  

Do I think Jensen NEEDED to let Jared know about The Winchesters?  No.  Do I think it would have been nice to let the guy know that you’ve been close with for 15 years?  So close that you constantly call each other brothers in real life?  Yes.  Do I HATE Jensen for this and think he should be “cancelled” now and hope the prequel fails just to spite him?  No.

Do I think Jared was wrong for tweeting what he did?  No.  He was hurt and upset because he just found out his BFF/brother was doing a project involving Supernatural and hadn’t even bothered to tell him, ON TWITTER.  Also, I saw a post that pointed out if Jared hadn’t tweeted what he did, it would look like he was lying.  Because he has said over and over he will do anything Supernatural related with no hesitation, no matter how busy he is.  Now, here comes a Supernatural-related project and he’s not involved.  So of course people would say, SEE?  He hated Supernatural!  He’s the one who wanted it to end!  He probably pressured Jensen into ending the show!  Even though we all know it was a mutual decision between Jared and Jensen.

I think what happened is both Jared and Jensen are super busy, and it was simply an honest misunderstanding.  I don’t think Jensen did it intentionally, I don’t think there was some secret plot to exclude Jared and/or make him look bad.  We have no right to speculate on their friendship, and/or what we think happened behind the scenes.  I’m glad Jensen and Jared talked and cleared the air.  They have been friends for way too long to let something like this come between them.  And…

No matter if you think Jensen is a dick for not including Jared or that Jared is inappropriate for venting on Twitter, end of the day, you don’t actually know these people.

I can’t stand hate against Jared or against Jensen or anyone involved based on what, miscommunication or not including someone or being openly angry about something on Twitter? Fucking chill everyone

The hate I’m seeing for either actor stemming from their own beef with each other is simply not your fucking business. I hope they resolve it, I hope they can make up for their own sake but no matter what, the excessive and often rude or mean-spirited parasocial relationships people have had with the SPN cast for the past decade and a half is just gross.

Supernatural was my emotional support TV show for years too! And I loved how close and funny and great the cast were together too! But the lengths the fandom goes to to villainize any cast or crew member who has a beef with their fave at any time? We don’t really know what happened there, and frankly it’s not our business.

Then... Don't watch it?

Like for real people, chill.

No one's forcing you to watch it?

Why are you attacking actors and fans and talking about how dissapointed you are when it would have been just as easy for Jensen to walk away from the Supernatural world forever.

My sister, who I live with, thought she couldn't get the vaccine because she doesn't have insurance.
