It’s okay, anon. I would always rather have the chance at calming angry words than ignoring silence.

It took me a bit to find, but this post declares the quote went as such:

At Asylum 3 a fan asked if he would do a cowboy film? 

Jensen: You know, I would say yes, but then Brokeback Mountain came out, and my desire to do a cowboy film completely tanked. (fan says something that I can’t understand) You know what, yeah, I’d love to do, I don’t know, westerns are kind of, they don’t have the greatest track record recently, it’s hard for a western film to do really well with today’s audience, it’s just not a well-received genre, but you could do other films, like Legends of the Fall was not quite a Western but was a great kind of old type, I’d do something like that.

Based on this quote alone, I can’t assume what he meant. Logical thinking dictates that correlation is not causation, so just because he made a negative statement about a film with a homosexual romance in it, I am not going to immediately assume that he made said statement because of the homosexual romance in it.

You know what happens when we assume.

Maybe he meant that he didn’t like the film. Maybe he thought it was boring. Maybe he thought it was so great and perfect that there is no way in hell he’d have any desire to top it.

But I’ll go ahead and throw in some speculation here because that’s what you’re asking for.

Jensen was against fanfiction for a long time because he feels possessive about Dean Winchester. Dean is his character, and he doesn’t seem to want other people’s distortions of it affecting his work. I think that’s totally fair. We see Dean Winchester as kind of a group construct, but to him, Dean is his character. Jensen is the one behind the wheel, and he doesn’t like the fans being backseat drivers.

I would venture to say that, using the same line of reasoning, Jensen has the same level of possession toward cowboys given the fact he’s from a conservative household in Texas. He has a strict definition of what a cowboy is in his head and he gets offended at distortions of that paradigm. 

For him, it probably has less to do with the gay aspect of it than the discrepancy between his perspective of a cowboy and the way Brokeback portrayed cowboys.

I don’t think Jensen is a bad person. When he voiced his discomfort over the 200th episode, he admitted to being wrong about his perception of fanfic, and he apologized. I think it takes someone he holds in high regard to change his perception of things, but I do think he’s a logical person who can admit when he possessed flawed thinking about something.

Can I just point out that he checks out the guy not the girls.

Well, to start with, the Jensen that’s with Misha is a little more… open? He lets Misha cross boundaries that he doesn’t let Jared cross.

FOR EXAMPLE:

vs.

To me, the difference isn’t necessarily because there’s something romantic between J & Misha, but because Misha brings out a side of Jensen that’s a little more self-secure and relaxed.

With Jared, the vibe is very dudebro, and Jensen does a lot of over compensating. He’s got his most masculine, heteronormative foot forward.

With Misha, the vibe is far more relaxed. He’s more willing to do things that might make the audience question his sexuality. For example, Jensen is willing to dance TOGETHER vs. just on the same stage, more willing to dance suggestively than just like a goofball.

Plus the kind of humor Jensen has with Jared is sometimes (only sometimes!) kinda douchey — generally by making fun of people and insulting their masculinity by calling them “girl” (if they identify as male), etc.

But when he’s with Misha, his humor is full of sexual innuendos (particularly on set, remember 9x06) and he seems okay insulting HIMSELF. He’s willing to laugh at himself around Misha, and I just don’t see that when he’s around Jared.

And finally, when Jensen is with Jared, their joint body language is towards the audience. They’re a team, a brotherhood, facing the audience down.

But with Misha, their body language is towards each other. They’re in their own little world, and Jensen can forget about the audience and just have fun.

ETA: I didn’t answer this as a Cockles vs J2 (romantic ship) post in body language because I already have a bunch of those.

I was assuming you were referring to a recent post of mine where I said I like the side of Jensen that we see when he’s around Misha better than the side we see when he’s around Jared.

Ummm, I’ll just explain the whole thing because everyone keeps asking and I’m too lazy to write it out a bunch of times. So here it is.

Okay, when I first walked up to him I knew I didn’t have a lot of time. I handed him the bracelet that I made him and he smiled and said thank you and he put it on. And then I held out on two tiaras, told him to pick which one he wanted. He first said “I don’t know, you pick” and I responded with “Nope, you need to pick the tiara you want to wear”. It took him, I shit you not, about 15 seconds to choose which tiara he wanted and he looked so stressed out like it was the most important decision he would ever make it his life. It was so cute.

And then he asked what pose that I wanted to do and I asked if we could lay on the floor and do the thing were we put our chin on our hands and do the really sweet smile, but the camera man said we couldn’t lay on the floor so Jensen suggested that we just get on one knee and do it. So we took the picture and he handed me the tiara back and he hugged me and thanked me and then I left.

He was super sweet and you could see his freckles so much better in person. The whole photo op last for like 30-45 seconds but it was the best moments of my life.

There we go. Rant over.

But why? Why is it my job to save these people? Why do I have to be some kind of hero? What about us, huh? What, Mom’s not supposed to live her life, Sammy’s not supposed to get married? Why do we have to sacrifice everything, Dad?

he-is-lightning-in-a-bottle:

Ugh. I am so torn about this.

On the one hand, I think that’s definitely true. Jensen pings as a closeted bi and a submissive to me, and part of what plays into that is some of the overcompensating he’s done at cons.

On the other hand, I don’t think the extreme portrayal we saw in the mockumentary is anywhere close to the truth, or Jensen wouldn’t have agreed to make fun of himself that way.

So perhaps Misha’s brilliance is found in that he wrote Jensen as overcompensating FOR THE WRONG THING.

Maybe IRL Jensen over compensates for his closeted sexuality, but in the mockumentary he’s overcompensating for being “portlandic” or “Pacific northwesty” (loving vegetarian food, coconut water, yoga, Thai Chi, meditation, detox facials, and hippie music).

I think it’s safe to say that IRL, Jensen doesn’t love any of those things, otherwise the Dean character bleed that he so famously struggles with wouldn’t be an issue.
