IN WHICH I AM FULL OF FEELINGS

caranfindelI didn’t expect Yahoo News to throw a bunch of Supernatural feels at me today. But first they hit me with this: A customer service rep at LAX (airport in Los Angeles, for my international friends) talks about celebrities who are nice and those who are not, and she says
“Jared Padalecki. Yes, he is that hot in person. He was a 12 out of 10, he was so freakin’ polite,” Cindy said. “He actually stopped to talk to me.” OF COURSE HE DID, CINDY.
(You can see the whole Tik Tok here.)
And then the universe said BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE, and gave me THIS. ‘The Boys’ Casts Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy for Season 3. (This is the Yahoo story that grabbed my attention, but you can read the original version here.)
According to the article, “Soldier Boy is known as ‘the original superhero,’ who fought in World War II and became ‘the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades.’” Oh, in other words, CAPTAIN FUCKING AMERICA.
And what I wouldn’t give to complete the set…
Images by Petite Madame, and can I just say, GOD BLESS HER.
Also, how amazing is this Eric Kripke quote:
“When I was a child, I had a crazy, impossible dream — to provide Jensen Ackles with gainful employment. I’m happy to say that dream has come true,” said Showrunner and Executive Producer Eric Kripke. ” Jensen is an amazing actor, an even better person, smells like warm chocolate chip cookies, and I consider him a brother. As Soldier Boy, the very first Superhero, he’ll bring so much humor, pathos, and danger to the role. I can’t wait to be on set with him again, and bring a bit of ‘Supernatural’ to ‘The Boys’.”
HE SMELLS LIKE WARM CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.
And then Jensen posts THIS and I’m like HOW DARE YOU, SIR.
Dare I hope that Jared does a year of Walker and then moves on to join Kripke and Ackles? Please???
(Also, is The Boys filmed in the US or Canada?)
Anyway. I’m full of feelings now. How’s your Monday going?

I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS, HOLY CANOLI BATMAN, HOLD ON, MY PANTIES ARE ON FIRE.
I've incidentally just started watching The Boys (because another author recommended it, I didn't even know Kripke was in on it until like two post credits in). And I loved the first series, because it was such a different, gritty, intelligent, subversive take on the superhero culture and the thought project of what it might mean to WORK as a superhero in the real world with real world consequences.
I loathe the second season because they apparently thought it would be a good idea to take everything out that made the first one great and replace it with some mindless, gratuitous Micheal Bay shit that lit my hair on fire. (I'm also getting freaking annoyed with the fridged wifes - looking at you Walker, Texas Ranger - even with a twist. Is there nothing under the sun that we could employ for tragic backstory?) But this news will probably carry me through to at least starting the third season when it comes out, because the ACKLES is just too strong, and I can't miss him getting his Cap on.
Especially with the beard. Keep the beard for all that is holy, please and thank you.
Now, last night when I actually wrote this comment, LJ decided to eat it unrecoverably and I didn't have the energy to rewrite all my thoughts, but I just hope we can count on your recaps to carry us through the last run and I'll have somewhere to cough my considerable feels all over BECAUSE OUR SHOW IS ENDING AND IT'S GOOD BUT ALSO UNBEARABLE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL. And you help with that always. So I hope you feel up to it and I'll be here again soon. Cheers!
