Jared Padalecki Appreciation Week | Day 1 | Jared's Quotes
six years of #AKF
"You might not win every battle. There are going to be some really tough days. There might be several tough times in any given single day, but hopefully, this will tell someone to think, “This isn’t easy; it is a fight, but I’m going to keep fighting.” Jared x
They both seemed super enthusiastic about Red Meat. Jensen got so into it that he kept grabbing onto Jared even though he knew exactly what was going to happen. 😍 (X)
Kale: a bunch of people are asking, Jared, what the horse’s name is?
This just struck me as interesting in light of Dean’s speech in the finale (Honcon 2017)
Why do you think Jensen and Jared aren't doing any interviews/panels together? I don't know when the last shared interview was... I'm just worried about Jared and all the hate he's getting.
Don’t worry nonnie, we’ll go back to regular J2 panels with Creation when all that covid mess is over. + Both boys have their own career to deal with now. Jared is busy filming Walker. Jensen will start filming The Boys in Toronto soon & have his production company.
And for the hate towards Jared, I wouldn’t worry either. Immature teenagers will grow up & get over the loss of their ship eventually.
If that can reassure you, when the boys were asked if they need protection from the negativity & hate they get online (honcon 2017), here what they answered :
Jared and Jensen are grown up men in this business since a long time. Negativity goes with celebrity unfortunately and I’m sure they both know how to deal with it by now.

im one of the ones that are gonna stick up for them 2 i love jared stop hating on him bunch of buttholes
reblogging again specifically for the bunch of buttholes
It would be a crime if I didn’t reblog specifically for the ‘bunch of buttholes’
Yes those "bunch of buttholes" need to move on. Or else.
And in case you need a reply for those “bunch of buttholes” 😁
That interview where Jared says Sam taught his son to take care of himself and not live saying goodbye to friends and family...god. Sam deciding that he was gonna focus on what made his kid happiest and prioritizing self care and love. Sam working on all his hurt and trauma and being determined his kid doesn’t live the life that he did. Sam remembering all his hopes and dreams and making sure his kid is able to act on his own ones. He broke the cycle!!!

Info from Jared about the finale (November 22nd 2020)
He and Jensen added several things that were meaningful to them,
- In the barn scene, the script originally said, “I can’t do it without you.” but they thought it could reflect the scene in the Pilot and changed it to “I can’t do this alone.” “Yes you can.” “Well, I don’t want to.”
- Jared is the one who thought of Sam and Dean’s first words to each other in Heaven paralleling the first words they said to each other on screen in the Pilot
- Jared wanted the parallel between Sam telling Dean “You can go now” and his son telling him the same thing when he dies
- Sam wearing Dean’s watch (which Jared thought nobody had noticed)
- Sam wearing his Pilot clothes when he joins Dean in Heaven was Jared’s idea
About Sam quitting hunting and living his life,
- “Sam tried to live his life the way Dean would have wanted him to live his life”
- Jared said that if Dean had came back years later and seen Sam was still hunting he would not have been happy and would have told him “Lay your weary head to rest”
- Sam told his son about hunting and all. “He told him about his uncle and why he was named like that.” The son wanted to get the tattoo.
On script changes due to Covid,
- There were supposed to be several other characters of Dean’s past when he reaches Heaven.
- Jared said it’s a happy accident in terms of story-telling that there was no one else but Sam and Dean, since it started with Sam and Dean.
Who would Sam want to see in Heaven,
- “Dean, obviously.” Jared paused to think for some time there. “Bobby, Mom, Sully.”
- “Sam’s Heaven is mostly Dean.”
- “Sam’s happiest moment was when he made that commitment to get back on the road with his brother.”
- “Sam’s Heaven is mostly his brother.”
Notes from Jared’s virtual panel 22 Nov 2020 - Typed live so sorry for some small mistakes!
Jared talking about Sam’s ending -
“No matter how Sam had his ending, it would have been difficult for me to wrap my head around. Once I did digest it and spent hours, days, weeks and months, over a year, with it, I did truly feel it was the best way to tell Sam’s story. And Sam tried to live his life the way Dean would have wanted him to live his life. In honour of Dean, his request and his sacrifices. Sam tried his best to honour him. If Dean had come back 40 years later to find Sam hunting, Dean would have been pissed.”
Jared talking about the script changes due to Covid -
“The biggest deal with the post Covid scripts is that when Covid happened and we got back to Canada there was a mandatory 2 week quarantine. […] There was going to be a lot of beloved characters that were in heaven with us. But that was just a scene or two. So when you think about a lot of the other cast that’s been a part of the show forever and ever, they have kids and spouses and jobs of their own, so you couldn’t ask Rob, Kim, Jeffery Dean [nb. I’m missing some names here] to come sit in a hotel by themselves for two weeks just to film. The heaven that Dean deserved was filled with a lot of people from Dean’s past.”
Then Jared talked about from a story point of view he thought it worked perfectly that it was just Dean and Sam in the end, as it brings the story back to the start of the show.
- Sam was wearing Dean’s watch when he died.
- They dedicated one day of their three-day barn shoot to the post fight stuff, so Dean’s actual death was given a separate day. Jared would cry every time he read the script of the death scene. “That was Jared crying, and I didn’t want Jared’s emotions to get in the way of Sam’s journey and Supernatural’s story.”
- The working in the barn scene that echoes back to the pilot was all Jensen and Jared’s doing, the original lines were different. They’re the ones that changed it so that it paralleled the pilot. And it sounds like their final lines on the bridge and their final words being like their first words were also due to Jensen and Jared’s interference. Jared was the one that asked the wardrobe to get the pilot outfit, but that outfit is long gone so they tried their best to recreate it.
- It was a difficult scene for him to film and to watch. Jared’s watched a few reaction videos, and hearing the scene in the background made him cry.
- Did Sam tell his son about his Uncle Dean and the hunters, and after all this, his son wanted to get the tattoo? – which sounds to me personally like Sam’s son wasn’t a hunter then?
“Who are the people Sam would want to see in heaven? Obviously Dean, Bobby, Mom. Sully (he laughs). I think Sam’s heaven is mostly Dean. That’s another reason why when I read the script that I asked our wardrobe department to get the outfit from the pilot. Because for me, I think Sam’s heaven and his happiest moment, was when he made that commitment to get back on the road with his brother. He had a rough childhood, and then he went off to do his thing, but his happiest moment was getting back on the road with his brother, even if he does make fun of his tapes.” But he talks again about Sam’s heaven being mostly his brother.
“I will get a chance to work with Jensen again, that’s not the last of us. Hopefully sooner than later.”
