Can’t wait for tumblr to roll out tumblr+, the premium web site membership. For only $9.99 a month you can enjoy classic tumblr features such as: a functional web site.
Since tumblr has hinted at a paid for version in a recent survey, it’s time to bring back my possibly future predicting post.
Can someone who’s into SPN PLEASE explain this? Preferably on this post so my inbox/dms aren’t getting blown up for the next three days?
This has been all over my dash tonight and I’m so confused.
@prismatic-bell I don’t know if I have the lay of the land accurate - though I might have followers who do! But this is my very rough understanding of things– do your own research, YMMV, Everyone Sucks Here:
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles co-star in Supernatural for 15 years, during which time Jared Padalecki was generally and increasingly unpleasant, including: physical assault (up to and including, arrest), bribery, racism. He owns a MLM, and I can’t find a better citation, but there’s community rumblings about inappropriate touching of other cast members.
The tl;dr I’m reaching here is he seems like a pretty meh colleague.
Supernatural finishes abruptly [awkwardly] and speculatively because Padalecki [and CW] is interested in a reboot of the Texas Walker.
Jensen Ackles states he would have happily continued playing his character and after the series concludes, states intentions to work further in the Supernatural universe.
Jensen Ackles turned down offers from Padalecki to star in the Texas Walker reboot, as well as offers to appear as a guest or direct an episode.
Padalecki starts working on Texas Walker, cast as lead. Its previews and premieres go attrociously and it is not well-received.
Jensen Ackles announces a prequel series to Supernatural right before something happens with the Texas Walker show. This is a project he planned in discussions other members of the various team involved in Supernatural, notably including: Robbie Thompson, Eric Kripke, Misha Collins. These people congratulate and hype Ackles.
The prequel series is not well-received by the fandom, because it centers a disliked character, theme and honestly, just,, nah.
Jared Padalecki proceeds to tweet that he is happy for Ackles’ project, but wishes he could have found out about it not through public sources. He further adds his dismay that his character was not included in this prequel. He says that he is gutted.
Robbie Thompson posts a positive tweet about the SPNFamily, very generic. Padalecki replies with et tu brute tweet as above and then deletes it. He [may have] also unfollows, refollows, unfollows his former colleagues and stuff like that.
Padalecki’s response to the situation acts as heat sink to the hatred of the prequel project’s announcement, which isn’t even lit for a pilot yet for real. All this over a twinkle in a producer’s eye.
So, my ken of the situation is show ended with Padalecki having alienated most people involved, the rest of the crew and cast started work on other projects and deliberately didn’t involve Padalecki, who is now having a very public reaction to it, which might have something to do with his own failing show, and ironically, helps beat the dead horse.

i’m convinced that supernatural is never going to end. the season finale was just a ruse. a dirty trick to deceive us into a false sense of security. a year from now they’re probably going to announce that there’s going to be a 16th season. in the meantime destiel will go canon in 30 different language, each of them slightly altering the original script. the show will keep on going, but they’re never going to explicitly acknowledge that dean and castiel are in a relationship. somewhere along the way jensen dies of old age. everyone thinks this will be the end of the show, but the CW decides to bring him back with AI technology. in season 56, AI dean finally confesses his love to castiel. a 90 year old misha delivers a touching performance. the scene gets translated to 7050 languages. in season 57, AI dean clarifies that he only meant that he loves castiel as a brother. a 91 year old misha gets blamed for queerbaiting the audience. he dies from the mean messages he’s sent on twitter. in season 87, AI castiel once again confesses his love to AI dean. before AI dean can reply, AI castiel is killed by evil jenkins, satan’s fourth cousin twice removed. castiel is promptly sent to super mega turbo ultra extreme hell. in season 88…..
