Supernatural Con Clips

[moonshayde]

Ack, I'm spamming today. It's because my anxiety is flaring up.

I just finished watching the con clips from this past weekend over on youtube. Overall, they were a lot of fun to watch. Jensen and Jared are a hoot together. I liked those the best. Jared as always is really funny and high energy while Jensen is more thoughtful. It's great to watch them. I'm happy that I have taken a shine to actors that are generally nice and talented. I really wish the best for their careers.

Though, I admit that some of the fan behavior makes me cringe and makes me embarassed to be a fan. Sometimes I really want to go to an SPN con and I entertain going (if I had the money) but it's some of the behaviors that make me think no way. One clip it even looked like Jared wasn't pleased and that guy is always bouncing. But overall, the fans are nice. I just get anxious with the really extreme parts of fandom.

I highly recommend them, but there are some vague spoilers for some upcoming episodes.

Well, I was there and while I did enjoy it I did get VERY embarrassed by some of the things said to them in the panels.

My hope is that they know from the, "Oh god, you did NOT just say that reaction," from members of the crowd (like me) that they know that not everyone in attendance agrees with those sentiments. Let's just say that everyone in my area of the room was pissed when the necrophilia and "pursuit of Jensen" things were said.

Fandom is such a double edged sword at times.

They were adorable though, I must say. :)

I've been to cons before too (just for a different fandom) and I know that the group tends to police its own. When you watch on youtube, it's hard to get that impression sometimes.

But it's always those few that ruin it for the rest. I want to headdesk everytime one of the nutters fans gets up to the mike.

AMEN.
I think I just groaned.

I did meet some wonderful, considerate fans there as well. It's just too bad that they aren't as loud as the nutballs. :(
