Fanasm Sunday Recap (long)

J2 Gold Panel (video SPNConGirl)
A fan asked about their Saturday routine when they’re at a con. Jared prefers a steakhouse dinner, which he says they often have the night before a con in whatever city they happen to be in. Jensen said that he works out in the morning, so he sleeps in as late as he can.
They were also asked about advice for planning a wedding.  Jensen said someone had given him advice to make the time to sit back and take it all in and enjoy the moment.
One fan asked them if they were the embodiment of an onomatopoeia, what would it be?
Jared: Bang! Whoosh! OMG!
Jensen: You’d embody OMG?


They were asked what they will miss the most after the show ends.
Jared: Hopefully we’re saying ‘see you later’ to our characters not bye. He dabbed at his eyes for a second, then laughed. It’s too early to cry, right?
Jensen: What I’ll miss about playing Dean is his badassery… what makes these characters real to us and to you is the mix of badass and vulnerability. We will miss that.
Fan: My husband has a long torso…
Jensen: (glancing at Jared, who famously has a long torso) You know what they say about guys with long torsos…
Fan: It’s not true. We call it “jumbo shrimp”…
Jensen: That’s Jared’s new nickname. Just add a little cocktail sauce…
Jared: (snickering) cock…tail…sauce…
…several minutes of Jared and Jensen goading each other to new heights of hilarity.
Jensen finally asked why there is a giant shrine (poster) of Jason Manns hanging at the back of the theater. Of course, we explained to him that Jason is missing. Poor Jensen, he was so confused.
Jensen: Does Jason know he’s missing? Because I literally just talked to him and I don’t think he knows he’s missing.
Jensen: Wha—how did this happen?
Everyone: Richard started it.
Jensen: Well that explains everything. Lead with that next time.
Jensen also shared one of his embarrassing teenage moments by telling us the story of how he was stopped by police – a lot of police – on the highway. Something about being forced to the side of the road and then taken away in handcuffs.
(He told the same story at the first Dallas Con M+G with his mother there to confirm it). He would not tell us what he had done. WE STILL DON’T KNOW.

Jensen asked Jared to recite all the states, and he obliged. I love how they both say “Howdy y’all” when he gets to Texas.
There was a whole thing where Jensen patted Jared on the chest as he showed off his shirt (given to him by the lovely Maisie from set).
Jensen: There’s a whole mountain range here…
Later Jared had occasion to pat Jensen’s chest and noted that Jensen has mountains too.
Jensen: Texas hill country

One of the things that makes conventions in Dallas so special is that Jared and Jensen’s families often come to the con. Both Jensen’s parents and Jared’s parents, along with his sister Megan (and her amazing children’s books in the vendor room) came to the con. They are both clearly close to their parents, and their parents are clearly very very proud of their sons.

I saw Jensen later and he said his mom had asked him why HE didn’t give her a copy of Family Don’t End With Blood.
Both Jared and Jensen expressed their appreciation for their parents’ love and support throughout the years.
Jensen: I’m thankful to them for the gift of laughter. I want that to be what I do with my own kids.
Jensen said he has done some voice work that isn’t out yet, so that’s exciting.
Jared and Jensen began talking about Sam and Dean and looking back on all these years of portraying them. What’s their lasting legacy?
Jensen: These brothers fight for each other and they fight to stand for something.
Jared: The boys always did the best they could.
They both already know how the show is going to end, which seems like both a blessing and a burden to carry for the entire season. It’s a testament to how much they care about the quality of this last season and the ending of the Winchesters’ story that they met with the writers and showrunners already to understand the ending.
We also had story time, which with Jared and Jensen is ALWAYS a good thing.
They enjoy it as much as we do, in fact.
Jensen related the Jared-meets-his-idol-Eddie-Vedder story, which I will never ever get tired of hearing because Jared having a fanboy moment and totally losing his cool is the most validating story ever.
Jared: That was me…

Jensen didn’t have any stories, though it is something he thinks about.
Jensen: I’m always afraid I’ll make a fool of myself with someone I fan.
At some point in here everything went off the rails when a fan said something about killing Ruby 2.0 and Jared jumped up to go after her, and Jensen jumped up to intercept him, and then they just cavorted all over the stage again and again, Jared mock trying to get to the fan and Jensen physically holding him back..
Jensen: C’mon, big guy…
All too soon, it was time for the last question. Which meant Jensen singing with Rob and Jared bringing the last question fan on stage.
The fan foolishly let Jared hold her cell phone, which meant he read that her alternative question was “What are your sexiest moves?
Fan: OMG no!!
Of course they had to demonstrate.
