Pondlass1 December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 I would've bet the house that the first convention question would've been about Jensen's tattoo, what, why, etc. It's very strange to me that no one has asked - especially as audience members seem younger and tattooed themselves and personal questions more the norm now. Is that Arrow in the photo? How long are they off I wonder? So lovely that they share their family photos with us. Best wishes to them all for lots of family togetherness and R&R.

It's Zeppelin :) Somebody on the Instagram comments said something like 'Daddy and his girls' and Danneel herself responded that it was Zepp. :) OAN, somebody on her Tweet of the post actually asked 'Where's the angel?' (a ubiquitous response by a segment of the fandom to anything SPN related that doesn't somehow involve Castiel/Misha). I wish I was joking. ETA: When the person got the response they no doubt hoped for, they claimed, with wide-eyed innocence, to merely be inquiring about the tree-topper.

Bobcatkitten December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 I'm so curious about the tattoo - mostly wondering why he decided now was the time while he was still acting since he once answered a question about why he didn't have a tattoo by saying it was because of his line of work and being on camera. Also, I wonder how long of a sitting it was. And I would love to see it now that it is all healed up and settled. 5 Link to comment

I was concerned at first, because he said at one time (paraphrased) he wouldn't do it while the show was still going. But I think given that we rarely seen Dean in a single layer, never mind shirtless, it's not so much of a concern - and the few photos we've seen of him in a t-shirt, it's barely, if at all, visible beneath the hem of the sleeve.

Eh, I think that could be said at any moment from last year until it does end. I just don't think the tattoo is predictive. No biggie though. I can count on my fingers and have some left over how many shirtless scenes we've had. Covering a tattoo with makeup or digitally isn't that big a deal for such selective occasions. Unless he's never going to act again, it's always going to be a consideration. Edited December 18, 2017 by gonzosgirrl 2 Link to comment

I would totally ask him, 'So...I remember you saying before you wouldn't get a tattoo until the show ended and now you have one. Are you trying to telling us something quietly?" I can't fathom why that would be a disallowed question at a con cause it's not asking him about his personal reasons which he has already made known on SM. Fans already ask about the end of the show and the boys bring up it at cons too, so to me that's a salient question pertinent to the show. 2 Link to comment
DittyDotDot December 18, 2017 Share December 18, 2017 (edited) I think Jensen answered the question why when he first announced it on social media--he did it for his daughter. Many moons ago, before he was married or had kids, he said he wouldn't do it because he didn't want to sit in the makeup chair in order to get it covered up. But, the reason isn't really a big deal now since he hasn't been doing anything outside of Supernatural and they put him in so many layers that he doesn't have to worry about it. If anything, Jensen getting a tattoo now suggests to me he thinks the show will go on for a while longer. If he really thought the show was ending, I'd think he'd hold off until he got his next job to know whether he had to worry about covering it up everyday or not.

Right, that's what I said in my previous comment that he announced his personal reason for doing it on SM, which is not what I said I would ask him about. I've been expecting them to ask him about it's connection to his past comments about not having a tat during the show. Ask him if he's feeling like he'll have more patience about covering up the tat, or does this mean no more shirtless Dean scenes LOL. Like seriously, the crappy stuff he's asked at cons that are WAY more personal than the tat. I think it's a completely reasonable question given his previous comments and I think it is kind of odd, that it's not come up at a con. 1 Link to comment

When one considers all the inane and really overly personal and often inappropriate questions they ask the boys, like that chick asked about pick up lines that got them in hot water, but this is something that is relevant to the show, but in the 3 cons they've had since he got that tattoo, it's not been asked.

SueB December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 I haven't seen or heard any buzz about that question being screened out. From what I could tell, they are kinda looking to see if the fan is going into one of those "I use to do horrible things to myself and now I'm only alive because of you pre-ambles" or if they are a hot mess, I've seen more people with the question on their phone ... so probably asking them to have the question written down... because the collapsing fangirl at the front of the line can be very uncomfortable for everyone (including collapsing fangirl). Yes, I'm aware of the Destiel question history. I haven't heard anyone denied due to that since they instituted the "have your question written down". Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but if it has, no one has made a big deal on Social Media. Personally, I think Jensen has been so short with his answers, if I was a Destiel fan I know I wouldn't ask a question about it*. So the tatoo question? It hasn't come out in open forum. But I there was no indication at DC Con it was a forbidden topic. If it was, I think they would have said so in the Gold Panel -- where there is zero screening of questions. It's just 'raise hand, ask question'. In fact, there was a teen/maybe early 20's who asked a question and it caused JP to come out and one-arm hug her. And it wasn't a personal question. But you know what? I remember at the time thinking this girl was just like "whatever" when he did it. She invited it but she was very blase. Weird and almost rude IMO. But no one said anything to her later. **On the Destiel question: my personal opinion is that he's been asked and answered this so many times. And, IMO, it seems like it could easily be taken as a fan challenging Jensen on how he plays the character of Dean Winchester. Sure, go ahead and do that, but don't be surprised if he gets bristly. He loves a good discussion on a variety of viewpoints from what I've seen. But this question keeps getting asked like he's wrong and they are right. That's not cool IMO. And if there was some group who were constantly saying "Sam Winchester just wants xxxxx" and Jared had already said that 'No, XXXXX is not the case.', I would say the same thing about that kind of a question. So, IF the question is screened out (again, haven't seen it), I would think it would be to prevent irritating the guests. There's absolutely no need to go into an adoration-fest, but blatantly implying someone is 'doing it wrong' seems rude to me. 1 Link to comment

gonzosgirrl December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 The lottery is just for the right to stand in line for J2 or Misha (and JDM when he's there), and the order you will line up in is determined by your place in the draw. There is no screening of questions until you step up to the mic. As far as I know, the only 'screening' is for personal stories regarding mental health, which seem to happen anyway - which means either a) the volunteer running the line didn't kibosh it, or b) the person ignored the screening and said what they wanted to anyway. There is no screening at all in the Gold panel. 3 Link to comment
Pondlass1 December 19, 2017 Share December 19, 2017 They seem to have questions on their phone these days, so I'm guessing a volunteer quickly vets for personal strife stories, etc. A few years ago there were Destiel questions poked at Jensen and Jensen got bristly (MY opinion). But they seem to have faded, and Jensen and Misha are hardly ever on screen together anyway these days (I'm not Destiel fan, but this is a shame as the actors have palpable chemistry and Castiel needs to be pulled back into the TFW throng somehow). I'd like Andrew and a couple of his writers, maybe the NepDuo, to present a panel, although it could get pretty ugly. The Js get to dwell among the crowds of adoring Supernatural fans... but the writers are in their own little writing worlds, not having a clue invested fans are WTF-ing all over the place. Bob Springer had an awful time during his panel and ended up saying things like 'it's just a show' when it got heated (the videos are somewhere). I do believe word got through strong and clear that Samelia was going over like a lead balloon. That plot was unceremoniously pulled and never mentioned ever again. I'm sure it was all supposed to go somewhere. Fans are going to ask the Js and Misha fun questions. You'll notice if they ask about a certain storyline the actors don't seem to know. They shoot out of sequence and much is edited out. And I don't know how often they actually watch an episode all the way through. So plot questions are often joked away without a proper answer. But writers and showrunners can't do this. They're not good-looking or able to sing. I'd like to ask them what the hell were you thinking? Have you actually watched episodes of this show? On the other hand, they could also get a pat on the back... this season is better than the last and Jack is working out (so far), but come on... Lucifer has reached his sell-by date. Link to comment

So plot questions are often joked away without a proper answer I've had the pleasure of attending 3 Jensen meet and greets. He does get more show based/Dean questions and he usually has very thoughtful answers and makes the person who asks feel like they're the only person in the room. (or that is what I felt when I get lucky enough to ask a question._ I've been picked twice and asked a technical question, and a show question and both times got thoughtful answers. He might be a little more personal with a smaller group but I find with his solo panels, its the same thing. Jensen will give thoughtful answers, even to show related/Dean based/plot based questions. So I don't think its just because of editing or filming out of sequence. It just seems the audience is less interested in show based questions or would rather ask what kind of drink they'd be then why Dean would give up on Mary. I find this does happen a lot with joint Jared and Jensen panels, especially if Jensen gets a plot based question. Jared will interrupt until Jensen gives up or Jensen will just make a joke. I was watching on panel where someone asked Jensen what was going through Dean's mind during the scene in 12.02 where he is sitting on the floor drinking and looking at pics of Mary. Jensen joked alcohol. I really don't beleive that would have been his answer in a meet and greet or a solo panel. Quote I always wondered if you had to say what your question was before getting chosen to ask so thanks for the answer. Doesn't seem like they do much if any screening.

If it's a question close to Jensen's passionate heart (directing, etc) he will go into detail (if Jared stays quiet). I have noticed at the ComicCon round table interviews that Jensen tends to stare directly at the person asking the question the whole time he's responding.

Of course I've PAID the shit-ton to have this personal experience but I think the gag-order is elitist. On the other hand, I can also see the perpective that if the stars share more in those sessions (and they do), they want to feel it's a 'safe space' to not show up on the internet 15 mins after the session. The boys are definitely more free with spoilers as are Kim and Brianna. Niether Misha nor Mark ever give away anthing ... like at all. Maybe Mark on some character insights from his POV. You get even less with Misha. I haven't done Misha's new 30-min, 20 person format but I doubt he's changed. Sam Smith talked about people BTS but not anything spoiler-ish. I find Jensen eager to talk about the show itself as evidenced by him turning around and asking the quetioner a follow-up question. Jared answers questions fully but usually more from a 'what is Sam thinking' perspective. Just my limited experience, of course. YMMV. 1 Link to comment

He did this with my question, and I am not ashamed to say I was a little gobsmacked for a moment :) My question was show related - regarding whether or not he thought Dean would go back and change the past* if he could. (I wrote a fan-fic about this question pre-M&G and was curious to know if his thoughts aligned with mine: they didn't.) He prefaced his answer by asking me what Dean said at the end of 9x23, which was of course I'm proud of us, and then proceeded to use that as the jumping off point of his answer. (In a word, no, he wouldn't.) He was so engaged talking about it. If he's *not* interested in Dean and SPN, then he truly deserves an Oscar, Emmy and Tony award because he really makes you believe he is, and that he appreciates the question. M&Gs do cost a shit-ton, but I consider it the best money I ever spent on fandom. PS, if that's too much info, that's too bad - Creation can suck it. There was nothing personal or revealing about it and I don't think he would answer any differently in a public forum. *Specifically, if he could go back to 1x22 and let Sam kill the demon while it possessed John Devil's Trap.

This. And the same with Jared. They legit love their jobs, their characters, and this ride they're on. Yes, they've publicly made it clear they are torn over family obligations ("we don't want to be John Winchester) but they are both making it work IMO. 1 Link to comment
