Did anyone notice how tense Jensen had gotten in the beginning of the video, but by the end, with Misha there, he was enthusiastic and sassing everything with Misha. Like, his head was down in the beginning and you can almost see him withdrawing into his shell, but at the end his head is up and his eyes are almost shining and he's bouncing jokes off a receptive Misha. Their friendship gives me strength. Love them.
Poor Jensen, he was so uncomfortable. I wish they would just make sure he has someone to do his panel with instead of sticking him up there by himself.
It is so easy for me to read Jensen's body language because it is exactly like my brother's: he is immensely uncomfortable while at the same time is trying very hard to maintain a good attitude, but the instant Misha comes out, he seems to let out a subconscious sigh of relief, knowing that he's there to rescue him by diffusing the situation. You can literally see his shoulders drop. Misha is a great friend. He puts his hand on his shoulder and arm and takes the moment to gauge just how bad it is for Jensen and then proceeds to make the panel a bit ridiculous to ease the tension. Misha is wonderful and amazing for doing such a great thing for his friend. And that hug at the end? That is Jensen silently saying, "Thank you for bailing me out," and Misha is silently replying, "Anytime."
I feel so awful for Jensen. He's really uncomfortable, and my heart sank reading that Jared had a photo session in the background, because he probably would have gone up there as well. But I'm so unbelievably glad that Misha turned up, and you can see it in his face that he knows Jensen is hating what's happening. But what the hell did Jensen whisper to him that made Misha's face just drop, and cause them both to look around in confusion.
Poor Jensen. I wish people would have treated him with a little more respect. He obviously felt like a spectacle up there. The "dance little monkey, dance!" says it all. He's a human being just like you. There are certain things you are uncomfortable with talking about or uncomfortable about doing in public. You would expect others to respect that.. So why can't people respect him? He's allowed to have feelings and beliefs that are different from yours. Just leave him alone about it! He is an awesome, sweet, sensitive person. Don't push him away. He doesn't have to do these conventions.
Misha is a very good friend to Jensen. Believe me, if I was in that audience watching this live, I would have walked out of the room in the first minute. Misha must have been watching the whole time and came to his rescue, and not thinking twice about it. If I was in Misha's shoes I would have done exactly the same thing that he did, come to his rescue. That was friends do for each other and they would have done if the position was reversed. I JUST LOVE THESE TWO BOYS AS IF THEY WERE MY BROTHERS and JARED TOO.
Misha's such a good friend to Jensen. That knowing look he has on his face at 3:53 is just so telling - like, 'yeah, I know - you hate this'. Then, when Misha bends over, I swear, it almost looks like he's talking to West or something - just being there and listening to Jensen about what's going on. D'aww. These two are my heart. They really are.
3:53 It's great to have such friends, who are there exactly when you need them. I'm grateful to say I have a friend just like that :) Rescued me in a very similar way, except I wasn't in front of thousands of people, just a few dozen.
"We feel comfortable enough to prank you as... maliciously as we do, because... we like you the best." THAT WAS SMOOTH AS FUCK (I died at 7:54 omg he's full Cass-mode)
You guys I have a theory, so I've noticed that the main reason so many people think Jensen is uncomfortable with Destiel is because it's a gay relationship. Yes it's the most obvious reason to believe, but I don't think it's real reason. I strongly believe that the main thing about Destiel that bothers Jensen is not because it's two dudes in relationship, but because of who his fake bf would be. Misha! Like J2 they are basically brothers. I think it's the fact that if for whatever reason Destiel became canon on the show it would be very awkward and uncomfortable to have to portray a romantic/sexual relationship with someone who happens to be is best friend/brother. Oh and then add on to that fans that have horrible attitudes about it and (seemingly) are disrespectful because it only matters what they want. Anyone who believes Jensen is homophobic I'm sorry but you're wrong. It just doesn't fit. He's a very caring, accepting guy. He has a big heart and is very sensitive. You can't always understand someone's behaviour and then make it seem like a personality trait somehow. It doesn't work like that. People are multifaceted and complex, that's just how it is. I accept Jensen just the way he is. Things happen, things are said. But people's hearts don't change, the true/loving part of them never changes. That's why I'll always have faith in him and everyone else I support. He does the best he can with what he's got. And I admire that. I think many people forget that he's not Dean, or seem to think he's mister macho and a tough Texan dude. Naw, he's a big softy, and I think that's why Dean has so much heart. Dean cares too much, thats why he carries so much bullshit. And we only feel that because Jensen puts that into Dean, essentially we're seeing a part of Jensen. A beautiful part of him that I see can also be a burden. Anyways, got a smidge off track. Glad I was able to say my peace. Comment, I'd love to discuss.
