Thanks

Thanks to cuddyclothes (Madfashionista on Twitter) for the idea and giving me valuable feedback and ideas during the process of making this. <3 To blackrabbit42 for the song suggestion and to the lovely deirdre_c for the fab beta. Thanks ladies! *hugs*

Notes

This is what happens when a seed is planted. There was a conversation on Twitter with cuddyclothes about vidding all of Jared's mishaps. I liked the idea and started to collect footage. I thought I might whip something together quickly to a song I thought might work. But it wasn't working. I put the call out for a song suggestion and had some wonderful suggestions. It was "Stand" by R.E.M that clicked for me (not least because I love R.E.M.) and it also seemed to fit Jared and his personality.

Initially it was just going to be a collection of his trips and fumbles but the song called for more. As I started working on it I could see how much of what Jared does seems to be for Jensen. There's a sense of fun and affection and I wanted to capture that. So even though this is a Jared focussed vid, Jensen is at the heart of it. Well, it's how I was thinking about it as I made it. :)

Oh yay!!! This is just utterly delightful, and I can't stop smiling!

The song choice is perfect, and I loved how you matched the footage with the lyrics. These two are just so adorkable, and how they work together as such an entertaining team is so evident here. There truly is fun and affection with these two. I love it ♥

(plus as a side note I don't think I've ever noticed before that Jared's usually on the left and Jensen's on the right when they're on stage. I don't know if that's their thing, or if there's a reason for it, but I've never noticed it until now.)

That's an interesting observation about their placement. It makes me wonder if it's to mirror their usual positions in Impala scenes.

I love that idea!!!! And now that's my headcanon!

Hi! Thanks hun! <3

And yes yes. Making this I realised just how often Jared is on Jensen's right. Someone on twitter mentioned that it's how they are in the Impala. They then said they told Jared in a meet and greet at a con and he was surprised about it. Then, next time he was on stage he said "oh right we are" (or something like that).

I think I've only seen a couple of cons where they are the other way around.
