A great compilation of PurCon10 with J2. 😊

But having that partner; someone to rely on, someone who would rely on you, is sometimes the only thing that got us through. But when someone needs you like that, showing up for that person matters more than anything else.

Dean: The whole Cain-and-Abel thing. Us dead. Whatever. I'll kill Sam. Sam will kill me. We'll kill each other. Okay? You pick. But, first, you got to put everything back the way it was. The people, the birds, Cass. You got to bring him back.

Sam: We're surrendering. We're giving up.

The man put birds ahead of Castiel 😂 He was more bothered about pigeons.

But this was so extremely clear about it being both brothers dead. They were proposing it as a united front, both sacrificing themselves. It couldn't be stated any more clearly. The only way Dean could kill Sam is if he was going too, and vice versa. It was never about saving Cas in exchange for Sam.

"We" and us". Like always.

Unlike these online weirdos with their faulty psychic abilities telling them what the showrunners, writers, and directors intended? Jensen talked to those people about what was intended, when he wasn't actively shaping the scenes by how he played what was written and thereby influencing the writers' later choices. Not only that, but in the specific case of SPN, we know that the writers often deferred to smaller changes J2 chose to make, because while they didn't know the future storylines, they knew the characters better from being in their heads for a longer time and more consistently through all episodes than anyone on the writing team.

Oh, oh, but Jensen doesn't remember episode names or every single random detail. So what? Most people don't remember every single fucking detail of their own lives, but that doesn't mean they don't know who they are. Of course, since all of their bad meta relies on nonsense like, 'In episode X, scene Y, at the 3:02 minute mark, explain what [the lighting/your microexpression/cake] means if it isn't gay!!!' Not knowing what the actual fuck they're on about doesn't mean he doesn't know Dean or the story, it means no one outside their batshit bubble thinks a random background detail was part of telling a super sneakret different main story.

Like these are the people insisting some random Spanish voice actor they haven't given a shit about before or since knows Dean better because he was willing to pander to them but Jensen won't. Anyone who tells them what they want to hear - or they can imaginatively pretend is telling them that, and they're really good at make-believe - is an expert and anyone else has no right to speak. If Jensen was willing to lie to them, they'd be singing a different tune and we all know it.

Also fuck all the way off with more abelism. Now we're calling him schizo?

They're too illiterate to see that it wasn't a love song. It was a song. The same way they're too illiterate to understand that the straight man who says he's straight and only hooks up with women is straight and that there isn't a super secret plot going on.

Hellers aren't stupid. Hellers, at least twitter hellers (I've never been close with the tumblr ones and don't want to be) are a high-control group. Questioning Anything will quite literally get you ostracized, sent death threats, and (I wish I was joking) accused of being a "secret Wincestie infiltrating the space". Like that's a real thing that they believe in, or at least claim to believe in to excuse turning on their own when there's no actors or "rival" shippers to direct their endless anger at. It's really hard to be media-literate when the results of said literacy will turn you into the Target Of The Week.

Don't give them a damn bit of excuse or empathy for it. They refuse help and reason, trust me I've tried.

But don't mistake them for stupid.

It's ruined the fun of shipping to have this cult mentality, and it's ruined the fun of fandom to have this insistence that it's canon when we want to talk about the show. I don't care what people ship. Or rather, I didn't. But there's this hellish heller subsection that don't just ship it but insists it's the core theme of the show. I've somehow been called a paedophile for not agreeing with their headcanon? I think because they assume everyone who isn't a heller is a wincestie, and somehow that makes them...? I don't understand it. It sometimes feels like I'm the only one who isn't shipping anything that moves. But these are strong accusations that they throw out.

Just like calling Jensen homophobic constantly. There is nothing that suggests he's homophobic. A straight man playing a straight man as straight and saying that the straight man was straight but you can write your own fanfic about whatever you want as long as you can tell the difference between the show and the fic isn't homophobic. It's him being open minded and accepting but not giving them the exact answer they want. They definitely didn't like him equating it with other fanfic, but the truth is none of that is canon.

The audacity of @bucketforme to claim that Jensen is an irrelevant actor. I'm sorry, but he's the most relevant person there is to speak about Dean and the character's existence! Jensen's the only one who's spent more time with Dean than any other person. SPN had so much turnover with writers and showrunners to the point where writer's talked about only being required to watch a couple of episodes before they got to write one themselves.

That's not to mention how many fans think they know better than the character. I've mentioned this before, but let's look at numbers! Jensen and Jared worked on 327 episodes of SPN. Each episode takes about 8 days to film, typically working an average of 14 hour days. I'll be generous and say that J2 spent 6 of those 8 actually filming. In addition, they would have spent non-filming time studying the scripts, not just the words, but the actions and motivations of their characters. I'll give that three hours in a day (they have to sleep sometime!) So, that's 17 hours, 6 days a week for 327 episodes. That comes out to 33,354 hours of work put into creating SPN and living as Sam and Dean.

The total runtime of SPN is about 240 hours. Even if a superfan watched the entire show 10 times over (and again, that's being generous), that's only 2,400 hours, or only 7% of the total time Jared and Jensen spent with Sam and Dean.

To say that Jensen's words about Dean's thoughts and motivations are irrelevant as an actor is ridiculous and frankly, insulting. He's the only one who knows the character best and can speak on him, so when he says Destiel is not valid and that Dean only cared about Cass as a brother, then that's Dean's truth and no amount of explaining/hand-wringing/manifesting/harassing that hellers do is going to change that.

You’re absolutely right anon, Jensen is THE relevant person there is to speak about Dean, because he is THE expert on Dean. Between the sheer amount of time Jensen has spent molding and living Dean and the amount of writer turnover as you said. Like, especially when you look at the actual numbers, it’s not even close, even when we shave off some hours for the reduced work time and days for when J2 both scaled back their workload in later seasons somewhat, that would still come out to over 20,000 hours at least. So at a bare minimum Jensen spent 10x as many hours with Dean as a fan who watched the entire series 10 times over.
