After nearly five years of dead time in the Supernatural television fandom, it's like no time has elapsed at all when Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles reemerge in 2025 for a new reunion gig.
Nothing has changed one bit because Jared and Jensen still need the third-party fun-inhibitor, aka Jensen Ackles' meard, Misha Collins, wedged between them before they can do a joint project together like the Prime series, "The Boys".
While Cockles fans are acting as if Jared has been the third wheel when it comes to creator Eric Kripke being able to feature intimate interactions between Jensen and Collins' characters, it was always Jared Padalecki who Kripke indicated that he wanted on the show.
Not Collins.
"the people wanna see Jared join The Boys."
"I would love Jared to come in and do a guest spot on the show."
a Jared/Jensen reunion would break the internet:
I don't see Collins mentioned anywhere by Kripke as a game-changer for his show. Does anyone else? All I see is Jared's name.
Yet, when the reunion finally happens, who is suddenly shoehorned into the episode/show? Misha Collins.
And who, once again, suddenly has to dig out the Q-Tip beanie to wear during the promo marketing for this upcoming reunion? Jared.
Don't tell Narnia that Jared and Jensen aren't still together when,
1) Collins has to join the episode in order to rev up the "Jenmish" chatter, in addition to serving as the "third-party fun-inhibitor" between Jared and Jensen
and
2) Jared is, for the 1000th time, minimized in the presence of his RL other half and the ever-present meard. This tells us that nothing has changed.
It's 2014 all over again. And 2015. And 2016. And 2017....and so on.

And speaking of nothing changing (that's how it is when you follow the individuals that we do 😏), let's check in with longtime fave couple Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols.
While Jake is modeling the latest in American battlefield camo, combat boots, and Prison Break Michael Scofield coiffure, his better half has been pretending to be community-entrenched in Austin, TX - complete with lots of photo-shopping and enabling former colleagues!
How a Greek tragedy which is set around the time of the Ottoman-Venetian War between Turkey and (at that time) the Republic of Venice, in the late 16th century, becomes yet another Americanized military-glorifying adaptation should not surprise anyone. Jake, representative Patrick Whitesell, publicist Mara Buxbaum and Whoever-Else-Is-On-Jake's-Team-That's-Making-These-Military-Maga-ish role decisions, obviously are in agreement that the more camo and combat/construction boots they can put on Jake, maybe, just maybe there's still a chance of making another Mark Wahlberg out of him.
Despite some questionable fashion choices and time period setting, Othello still seems to be off to a good start on Broadway during preview performances and we like to see that for Jake. After last night's official opening, we wish Jake nothing but great success on his new endeavor which will last through early June.
In terms of social media, it looks like this year's enabling "fan" accounts on X, formerly Twitter, that have suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, are named "Gyllenbrina" and "Kinghalll" (cool, original names, btw!). If any of our readers happen to be perusing through Jakers' X search, both of these users will be in full force promoting his play, posting old photos in addition to stage door videos - and calling the 44-year-old actor, "bbygrl".
Hey, interns, I mean Jake's fans, he's been around the block more than a few times (in those 44 years 😉) and he's got kids old enough to drive. I think he's long surpassed that "babygirl" stage. Come on, Mara. 😬
In any event, here's Jake taking a camo bow with a military-clad Denzel Washington during previews:
And while Jake was rehearsing on Broadway, Austin reappeared on his Instagram, allegedly in Austin, TX. There was Austin, grilling steaks with some random guy we have no idea who he is,
and of course, plenty of the family pupper, Otis! Austin is also working out, then working out again, hanging with Otis, and working out some more. 😉.
In the midst of all this, he did some great work supporting and promoting the stars of the movie he filmed in Georgia back in 2023 - The Six Triple Eight. He also allegedly visited the Texas capitol to campaign for incentives for filming in the state.

| Austin in the ever-present black attire, of course |
 |
| Aaah yes, here's Paul Wesley again! |
Yes, allegedly Austin attended the Austin TX Ladies Open with actor Paul Wesley.
Sidenote: Isn't it interesting how Paul Wesley bounces to and from whoever needs GPS location assistance.
Or, in another case, when Sony/Cowell needed him. Liam Payne fans will recognize him as having once "dropped" into Liam's "circle" in March 2022 (Los Angeles, Taste of the Future, right before Accentgate at the Oscars) and July 2023 (Saint Tropez, France along with respective beards to curiously celebrate Wesley's 41st birthday).
Before Wesley was helping out Sony/Cowell, he was helping to place Austin in Tulum, Mexico with Chlo Bennett back in 2016. Who could forget the photoshop mess that was Tulum?

| Obviously, Chlo's feet aren't a match. |

What a hysterical presentation. 😂😄 Those photos and that entire "outing" will go down in photoshop history. 🏆
It's always fun to see Austin though. We like his hair cut shout-out to his guy, Jake. Look at these two. 😍

I killed myself on that last one. LOL!!! 😅
From the worn and tattered, most popular pages of the handbook for How To Separate a Closeted Couple, we've had Harry Styles everywhere but anywhere near wherever Louis Tomlinson is. Jake's in NYC? Then sure enough, Austin "must be" in Austin TX! Jensen Ackles is filming in Canada? Then of course, Jared must be in Austin, TX, as well. Louis steps back out into the public spotlight due to performances in London and Mumbai. So, of course, we suddenly see Harry on a worldwide tour.
Sheesh. Set the clocks to these GPS phenomena.
Interestingly enough, the shenanigans began with both Louis and Harry being in London. While Louis was performing in London at Electric Brixton on March 6. And Sabrina Carpenter was performing in London as well on March 8 and 9. Sony made sure that it appeared Harry was in the concert mood, but opting for Sabrina's concert instead of Louis'.
You can't even positively tell this is supposed to be Harry or his body double (allegedly at Sabrina Carpenter's concert 03.08)
And a marathon, you say? Shots from behind, quick videos, over-dressing? Why are so many of the runners in tank tops and short sleeves. The temperature at the start of the race was 55°F, so interesting with the headband, the long-sleeved jacket, the Air Pods, etc. Too many tattoos to photoshop, Sony?
As photos were "leaked" at a maple syrup drip's pace, there were too many pics with the bodies on top of one another. Too large of feet to match the legs. Too many legs in one spot. In this photo below, you can see the diagonal line where two different skin tones were merged. Darker on top, lighter below. Same old story. Or as Louis said back in November 2023, "These days you can't work out what's f*ckin' AI and what ain't". Ta, Louis.
Here's another mess:
I mean, what are we doing here? Talk about losing unnecessary brain cells looking at so many of those "candid shots" and videos. It would appear that Sony and the Azoff's have likely found themselves a halfway decent Harry doppelganger.
The big GPS placement was of course, the Tokyo marathon. Photos galore. Tabloid coverage. Videos of the doppelganger, we mean Harry. Oh, and let's not forget that on the same day of the marathon, Runner's World website posted an article about Harry's participation.
Forgive our cynical selves, but none of this is good enough. A LIVE video of Harry being interviewed at the race, complete with runners crossing the finish line is needed. On the morning news. Without the dark glasses, headband and black long-sleeved hoodie, please. Throwing the fandom a bone with the sudden reveal of those thigh high Civita pet tattoo names doesn't satisfy either. The tried and true, throw the fandom a bone and they'll be silent about the rest, rolled out once again.
Because after nearly 15 years of lies, corruption, chaos, and deception, these teams can't be trusted to tell the truth. We have compromised media helping to enable these manipulations. So LIVE telecasts are about where we're at with this nonsense. If a U.S. presidential candidate can fake an assassination attempt, you don't think a celebrity can't be faked at a marathon? Think again. Registering with his full name for all to see to provide proof he was there, doesn't pass mustard either. With a spectator count around two million and participants set at 37,785, Mr. Private suddenly wants everyone to know he was there. Try again. And, why so many resources and effort for one stunt? Well, Louis played in London just four days later and then was flying to Mumbai (One of the largest music festivals in the world) for a huge Lollapalooza performance. Got to make sure there's plenty of online "documentation" that Harry can't even be bothered.
Like Oh My Godot's Grand Poobah once said:
Sometimes you have to go big, to hide big.
It always circles back around to Louis and Harry (Larrie). Nearly 15 years later.
It always circles back around to Liam and Zayn (Ziam). Although TPTB feel smugger about that pairing since October 16, 2024.
It always circles back around to Jared and Jensen. Even 20 years later.
It always circles back around to Jake and Austin. Yes, they're the kingpins at 23 years later.
The manipulations inevitably circle back around to ... other ... deeply closeted couples.

We're going to end this post with Travis Kelce, All Pro, Pro Bowl tight end for the KC Chiefs, regarding a couple of items.
The observation is one that we will also be delving into with more detail at a later time because it's a practice that TPTB have been doing for a while, not just with Travis, but with a couple other individuals that we follow here. However, we're going to only briefly touch on it in this Musings.
In the case with Travis, the PR tactic has been implemented almost since his fauxmance with Shifty, aka Taylor Swift, began.
The tight end hadn't been seen since the disastrous Super Bowl game in early February, one which the Chiefs were obliterated, 40-22 😱.
Supposedly, he and Shifty stepped out in New York City to go to dinner on March 14. And the photos show Travis in loose, baggy clothing in order to make him look overweight. From People magazine:
 |
| allegedly Mar 14, 2025 via People |
 | ||
| just how long is that plain white T anyway? |
This wardrobe practice has been going on for awhile. When TPTB aren't making him look like he's wearing tarps, they're photo shopping added pounds and rolls onto him.
So that X (formerly Twitter) accounts like planted Shifty "fan" Scott Tea can comment on Travis' alleged weight gain to aid in the narrative that Travis is slovenly, doesn't care about his fitness, has greatly slowed down in speed and thus, is no longer of value to the Chiefs and should retire.
Flashback to the 2023-24 post season, when planted account Scott Tea (his old original X name) used a photo shopped pic to try and sell that Travis was grossly overweight.
Again, we're going to delve into this in much more detail in a later post. But to be brief, Tea used photoshop in his screenshot as you can see here, the joining of two arms reflected by the backwards L-shape of different skin tones.
NOT only that, but in other videos and photos, Travis clearly wasn't sporting blatant Michelin tires around his waist. Like with Patrick, I think their weight can fluctuate at times, but the picture that Tea and other sheep accounts are trying to paint is totally exaggerated and therefore, false. Here he was in the celebratory Super Bowl locker room in '24.
One reason for the demeaning narrative is to aid in the "Travis has slowed down and is washed up" narrative and "needs to retire" mantras. In addition, since the planted accounts love to hyperfocus on the name calling of "slob", there seems to be a desire by TPTB to put down and belittle (aka keep in check) the closeted celebrity. The sudden and oftentimes explosive success of a closeted celebrity (namely one who is in a serious relationship with say, a band mate, a fellow actor, or teammate) seems to often lead to forced controversies, bad habits (drunkenness, alleged unruly or violent behavior), and "good-ol'-boy" cheating. Just to name a few. Anything to make these guys look a) unworthy or b) like a Gaston.
LATE BREAKING!!
Opening night for Jake and Denzel Washington's Broadway play Othello was last night. We're excited to see that Austin (as well as longtime friend Matthew K Frost) were in attendance! Great to see this.
And here's Austin and Frost:
Narnia wants to ask Austin where was Otis? 😉
We're just joking, just joking. What a fun surprise today; heaven knows we can use any that we can get.
🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭
And so, what a way to end a Musings, right? Thanks for visiting and never fear, we'll be back! 😂
