Epic Bromance!

ash48I have no idea how I didn't see this before (like last year when it was posted!).
Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki's Epic Bromance. I know some don't like the term bromance, but I'm not one of them. *g* I can't think of a better way to describe a friendship that goes beyond just bestest buddies.
The cynical part of me sometimes thinks that they're "faking" it for the sake of the show, but really, there's just too much natural chemistry between them to think they could be simply acting the part. And having watched quite a lot of con footage (when making the last J2 vid), there's a genuine protectiveness of each other (especially Jensen for Jared. Jensen gets damn FIERCE when anyone says something to Jared that he thinks is uncalled for). I mostly find con footage (and even interviews) hard to watch because there's a squick factor that I can't get past (mostly the questions!).
Also, those lovely little moments in the gag reel? Priceless (I sincerely hope there's more to the the S9 gag reel than this. It's just so damn short! 23 eps and only 3 mins of bloopers?! Nope).
At the moment the Js are my happy place. Sam and Dean used to be my happy place, but they are increasingly becoming characters that don't exactly bring me joy (it's probably not helping that I am clipping for a Kevin vid and boy, they neglected him and it makes me mad at them!).

Date: 2014-07-31 10:29 pm (UTC)There is a fic I read, and no, I can't remember the title, damn it, but when I read this part of your post it came instantly to mind. Beautifully written, it tells the story of the boys from the beginning of Supernatural, using the premise that the guys hated each other on sight and were warned to act like they liked each other. I think Jared dumped Jen's sister and that's what spurred Jen's hatred. There's lots of fights on and off set, Jen fighting his growing fantasies. It's a happy ending but I love the journey getting there. And now, I have to hunt this down, LOL! I'll let you know if I find it.
The J's are one of my very happy places too. ♥

I really should've known which one it was because I loved another of this author's stories.
