So, this showed up in my mailbox today...

[caranfindel]

Can you see the lower case Es? They have a moose and squirrel!!!!!!!

I talked about this on Tumblr when the Entertainment Weekly cover contest was announced. I have a subscription to EW - I cashed in some airline points that I'm never going to use to fly - and it's bothered me that they ignore our show. A couple of times, a quote has shown up, but when it comes to season premieres and finales, Supernatural never makes their "must watch" list. And when I found out the winner of this contest was going to be on the cover, I wanted that so bad. I wanted to force EW to respect our little show, dammit. And boy did we. (According to the article, "you voted - again, and again, and again.")





So I opened my mailbox today and didn't look at the pile until I got in the car and then I saw these two gorgeous assholes posing like a couple of fucking Vargas girls spread out on that gorgeous car and I literally laughed with glee.


Seriously, look at this magnificent bastard with the face and the hair and the smile and the arm and the legs and HOW DO YOU EVEN EXIST, JARED PADALECKI?

But I have a problem. I can't read the story. I'm afraid of spoilers. I told The Kid that I needed her to read it for me and let me know if there were spoilers, and she was all, how would I know if they're spoilers? And I said, if it says "so in season 12 we're going to..." then it's a spoiler. But she won't do it. She's afraid of messing it up. Maybe one of my friends on the internet will do it for me?


Luckily I can still look at the pretty pictures. Sorry my pictures of the pictures are not so good.

Or I can just hold onto the magazine until May. I've done it before. You remember that special they had right before the premiere of S10? You know when I watched that? Friday. As in Friday, September 2, 2016. And that wasn't exactly on purpose. I was avoiding it because of spoilers but I didn't mean to avoid it for 2 years. I just never got around to watching it, but Friday night I had the house to myself and I was weeding my recordings because my DVR free space is below 20% (partly because I'm hoarding 2 seasons of SPN) and I realized it was there and I watched it and guys, I just love that goddamn show. Love it.

I was surprised that Eric Kripke hated the "Wendigo" episode. He thought it didn't go anywhere, but I thought it did a great job of setting up the characters and their determination to save people even at the expense of their own lives. And now I want to watch it again.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pet this magazine cover for a while.

(The small print to the right of Jensen says "Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Baby." I'm dead.

I've been viscerally giddy about this whole thing all day and I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY because like, this is a magazine I never read to begin with... But IDEK I HAVE SUCH PURE JOY ABOUT THIS and I'm happy the Impala got to be in the shoot! And as promo shots go, this is a pretty snazzy one. (Usually they're too Photoshopped for me to be able to take them seriously, XD. I'M STILL LOL ABOUT SOME OF THE S8 PROMO STUFF.)

It's just. <33333

<333333

<333333

I want one and again, I'm not quite sure why because I can't read the article anyway, and obviously I've seen the pics now! And over and over again on Twitter (delightfully)! XD


asa;fk askf;k;ajf;klaj;kjfak;ljf;lakj;akl is pretty accurate re: me and SPN today. Most days. But especially today.

Its really good :)

[tabaqui]

OMG. Those pictures. ALL THE PICTURES!! So fucking amazing and ridiculous. (Moose and Squirrel!!)
Love it! Thanks for sharing!

[septembers-coda.livejournal.com]

It'll definitely have spoilers. I know what qualifies as spoilers for you, and EW will print the heck out of 'em. :-} Sorry! But I'll read it as soon as I get it (I'm a subscriber) and let you know for sure. Ya never know, we could get lucky!

I couldn't agree with you more about Jared Goddamn I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt Even Though This Is A Damn Sexy Shirt Padalecki. Well put. ;-)

Grrrr.

EW's lack of respect for our little show has always bothered me, too. It seems like lately, they've realized they can't afford to ignore it anymore just because it has such a huge fanbase, but even when they throw us a little bone like a quote, you can tell all their writers are like, "siiiiiigh, this'll get us some readers, but why do people like this show?" It's frustrating, because SOMEONE on the staff usually notices when something's really good, but in this case, not so much.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

When they added J2 to their Pop Fest or whatever the hell that is, I should have known it was because they won the cover contest. It's the only reason they'd pay any attention to SPN.

Re: Grrrr.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Thank you, you are awesome. (And yes. Goddamn.)

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

And there's a video I haven't watched yet!

Re: scissorscontrol

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

The article?

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Yes, at least one person on staff must know something about it! And I picture nonfans seeing that and going "wha?" XD

Re: Salut!

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Um... I think I'm missing something?

[fanspired]

> I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt Even Though This Is A Damn Sexy Shirt Padalecki.

LOL! Yes! That shirt just screams: "massage me now! Go on, you know you want to. You need to!"

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

And it's my last issue, too!

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT????!!!

Re: Salut!

[strangeleopard.livejournal.com]

bad picture?

Re: Salut!

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

It's distorted - stretched out vertically (that might just be my phone) - but it looks like a garden statue? Of a bear? In curlers?

[tabaqui]

Yes! I must do that today. :D

Well done fandom, I love it when we all pull together and good things happen!!! I love this so much; the poses, the clothes (Jared needs to wear that colour more), the moose and squirrel, Baby - just all of it, ALL OF IT!!!!

(I can't help but wonder if someone from our fandom snuck into EW offices and 'spruced' the proof up or something! That little moose and squirrel, and the Baby reference - it feels almost too good to be true!!!)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I read the online article and there wasn't anything spoilery in there, and I usually try and avoid them. But obviously I don't know what's in the magazine version. One of my US friends is buying it for me because - Boys and Baby! So damned cool. And the vids are all pretty much spoiler free too so I'd say they are safe to watch.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I actually clapped my hands like a happy sealion when I saw the cover - so effing ridiculous and still so sexy! And that's just Baby... I did tweet to the effect that it's a pity the CW can't seem to do promo shots like this...

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Did you know it was coming? I got mine the day the news came out, and I just missed the announcement on Tumblr so I was completely surprised. And yes, CW could definitely learn some lessons from EW.

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Obviously there had to be a fan involved. Must be someone on the artistic side, not editorial staff.

(AND YES THAT BLUE SHIRT GRRRRRRR)

[caranfindel.livejournal.com]

Cool, thanks!
