Sunday Afternoon Randoms


Happy Month of July!!  Here we go with a few thoughts, observations, opinions.....first off, let's give a summer salute to a couple of our OTP couples who are finding out what teachers deal with during the school year:





•  I was looking at a picture of Jake as Dr. Johnny Wilcox in his latest movie Okja and it inspired me to take a look back at another much older picture of him.


                                                    as Dr. Johnny Wilcox


                                            
                    that "clickbait" photo, with legs wrapped around Austy

Aaah yes, the 'controversial' photo that used to get the mgmnt troll all up in arms back in the day.  And Jake's legs were a bit thinner years ago, as one could see here:




Awwwww, that picture is pretty cute, I have to say.  Look at that little retro nugget - Jake and his lunch.  And love going back and looking once again at the "gasp!" photo.  The boys being spicy back in the day!  ;-)

• Here's another photo that caught my eye.  This one appeared yesterday, GPS'ing Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles at an Austin, TX children's event.   [Special Author's Note:  HUGE THANK YOU!!! to tweeter teddymac for her find of this now-deleted twit pic.  She gets a big gold star on this day, 7/18/17 !!!]



Aaaah yes, "Discover the Dinosaurs Unleashed!" which was taking place yesterday, July 8, 2017.  J2 pic to satisfy the drought of Jared and Jensen pictures this hiatus - check.  Signs of strollers, which would mean presence of the children - check.  Yea! Right?



A believable event, one that was specifically taking place in Austin yesterday, so it all works.  Oh, but then we have a mention of possibly the "spouse", but this is accompanied by "I believe", "I didn't see Jared's spouse", and "I'm sure".  So, what we're left with is this side by side of Jared and Jensen, which unfortunately, is not exactly a ringing endorsement of authenticity in "Dino"-land.

There's the slight matter of familiar graininess (darn that sand everywhere!) and the fact that Jensen's legs kind of blur into....nothingness....and Jared's legs are fortunately behind a strategically placed stroller and line barrier. 

Nah, we at Narnia aren't buying it, fellas!  Try again.   By the way, we hear that filming is going to be starting back up again soon.  Could it be that the Padackles (including the kiddo train) have indeed been somewhere along the west coast all this time???  It takes awhile to get everyone settled, doesn't it? 

I'm afraid this entire summer "hiatus" has been one crazy, wild ride this year.  A lot of rabbit holes, a lot of reactions, too much excess and too much time online for the PR teams trying to sell an Austin story that is beginning to look more and more like a narrative.

via GIPHY

Maybe things can kind of get back to "normal" with a return to filming.  We'll see.  ;-)    Looking forward to seeing more of Jared and Jensen, minus the extracurricular.

• This was nice to see on Just Jared yesterday from the Pride in London parade at Trafalgar Square.


I hope they share many more years of happiness together.  It's great now to see a visible increase in the different "shades" of love in our pictorial and printed media.  Tom Daley looks so happy here.

• And from a different entertaining point of view, mark your calendars for July 21, 2017.  Methodical Muser has already purchased her Dunkirk tickets and is very much looking forward to Harry Styles' film debut. Keep those pocketbooks open though because Louis Tomlinson also has a new record out on the same date that is receiving a lot of buzz in the industry called, "Back to You," with Bebe Rexha.  Buy lots of copies for your friends. Christmas is just around the corner after all!

Like I said earlier, I'm watching the kitties this week and it's been a little while since I was here last. Totally prepared to get less sleep; we'll see how Alvin does. Alvin is the diabetic kitty and he is kind of cantankerous, as well as 12 or 13 years old. He's not been feeling as well ever since the last time I was here. And although he ate for me tonight, he didn't quite finish his food and boy, that's just not like him.

So I'm already kind of sad because you wish you could do something to get them to feeling and acting the way they used to. But he was clamoring to eat when I got here, so that's good.

There was another photo of Jensen taken with a fan and he was wearing a black V-neck T, just like he is in the dinosaur pic. Clear as Windex, which is why I can't figure out why the dinosaur pic is so lousy. But then I'm used to seeing this now with Jake and Austin. So used to it.

It's funny to see Jared and Jensen beginning to do some of the same antics this past summer hiatus as Jake and Austin are doing. M&M and I were talking yesterday and she made the point about the whole Jake and New York City narrative. Mgmnt back in 2012 --> oh, say at least through 2015, were persistent in placing Jake in New York City. It was his new home!! They sold his Los Angeles home, making a huge deal about it, and he could not talk in interviews enough about how he had left LA and NYC was his home now because that's where his family was. Only he wasn't talking about the family that he and Austin have, but about his original family, meaning his mother, sister and her family.

But we would catch Jake repeatedly in Los Angeles when he wasn't supposed to be, particularly like during the time he was performing in If There Is, I Haven't Found It Yet. And that's how we knew that Austin and the kids were there. Jake was doing this long commute back and forth on his days off.

Well, Jared and Jensen have gone through this huge, big profile move to Austin, TX. And it sounded wonderful, right? They had houses next to each other and it was going to be AWESOME. In the beginning, there were a few outings which were a fan's biggest dream - jet skiing together and going to music festivals. These have been the great times. But there has been so many other times when they have been separated, particularly during filming. It would be made to look like Jared was in Austin while Jensen was in Vancouver or vice versa. But I don't know now how many of those times, they were really together in Vancouver or thereabouts, with the family. And I think that's what happened this past summer.

Jared and Jensen have been somewhere, but not Austin. And they've had all these children with them. I know this is one of those opinions that puts me out on an island by myself, but *shrugs* that's the way it goes.

I find this belief quite plausible. Very romantic. There have been so many signs that Jared & Jensen are a romantic couple at this point. They're joined at the hip. They're so connected, I don't see how they would not be connected to each other's children. Their relationship is extraordinary. They almost merge into one person, they're so into each other, so coupley. And when I saw that pink picture - the one with Jared and all 3 of the Padalacki children, and he was the one to leak that picture with no Genevieve in sight, that was such a huge thing. Such a significant revelation. I know that Jensen and his 3 couldn't be in that picture, but they were there in spirit and no doubt, were probably in the room at the time it was taken, or at least maybe Jensen was. This idea that is expressed so often on Spn Goss, that the children are strictly for the beards - like the J's just donated their sperm and didn't even want the last three who were born - sounds like something Mgmnt has cooked up to hide the real truth that is going on behind the scenes.

I'm not sure how they're doing it - certainly don't know all of the specifics. I don't know how Jake and Austin handle most things either, but with them, it's actually so much easier because they haven't married any of their beards.

But, we'll see how the J's story continues. And I'm so thankful for this blog where beliefs and thoughts can be expressed over 140 characters, no matter what they are.

Well - getting close to watering time. Two rounds of hoses - oh boy!!!! I'm so thankful to get to do this. Ha! ;-D

I suppose maybe some fans are going to protest that "Well, who do you think took the pink picture? Genevieve did. She was in Florida, too."

Bullshit. Look how they were all dressed - that was a family portrait. They were dressed up and Genevieve should have been in that picture and it should have gone up on her Instagram. But instead, it was leaked ahead of time and then yanked down. Jared and the kids were never in Florida - it was a farce.

Another mess up would be at the Dinosaur land pictures. Talk about a prime opportunity for "family pictures" - that was the money shot, right? The money shot was getting the wives in the pic with the fellas and kids. One last hurrah before the men "head off" for filming. Mgmnt isn't going to miss out on that.

But they didn't have the money shot. Which, for me, (besides the fact that side by side twit pic is so lousy and hinky) is a great indication that the men and children weren't there either.

Even back when the airline rants were going on by Jared, and I'll never forget one in particular because I used my @blastobutter account to call him out on it, there was a big hullabulloo, because the flights were not meshing with the rant. And M&M and I both felt that Jared was really in Vancouver with Jensen. Now, it makes more sense. That airline rant was a stunt, meant to cover for Jared trying to place him as having been in TX that weekend when he never was.

Eventually, they seem to have come up with this plane!anon business because the guys seem to be done with commercial flights. Just like Jake and Austin, when they only had one child, it was so much easier. But like Jaustin, Jared and Jensen have a real growing dilemma. They've got six kids and it has to have gotten harder and harder to hide their travels.

Hence, we've had nothing but high profile pics of the J's beards with the kids, I think partly to emphasize that these ladies are the ones doing most of the raising. Lots of look over here.

You know, it always made me shake my head that I would express some of these beliefs on Spn Goss and you would have thought I was saying that I didn't think the J's were together. Or that I was "trashing" them.

Au contraire. Quite the opposite. You would never have thought so, though. Merely that they were indeed together, but raising a family together, just like Jake and Austin. Two men in love and wanting a family together.

But for many, that thought just isn't accepted. I can't help but think sometimes no wonder these guys stay in the closet.

And maybe I'm late to the game, but do you know the dinosaur tweet and pic have been deleted? That sucker's gone! lol. I was looking at the post and noticed the picture wasn't showing.

I should've saved it, too. My gaffe. I should know better than that.

Aw well - it's really just a spotlight on that photoshop job.
