Actor v Character

So, I was having a discussion on Twitter tonight after I saw this slightly surreal gif in timey_wimey_kid's LJ. I watched it run through a few times because I realised that no matter how hard I try when I look at pictures of Castiel I just do not see Misha at all.

I posted a tweet half-joking about it

Seriously, I look at pictures of Castiel and I try to see Misha but I just can't. He has serious magical acting powers that change his face

A few people said they had the same thing with Jensen and Dean. stripedsockscat linked me to this photo of Jensen being Dean whilst at a con.

It just reminded me of the first time I met Misha at Collectormania. valderys commented how different he looked smiling and joking with us. Naturally Misha apologised and went into srs bsns Cas mode. It was strange and awesome.

But during the Twitter conversation we all agreed that none of us had this problem with Jared. Poor Jared. He always used to be my favourite. Before Misha.

I've also realised, looking at that photo (which I'm guessing is at least a year old) of Jared and Jensen, that I really don't find Jared attractive anymore. I don't know what it is but something has changed as he's got older.

Interestingly one of my Twitter friends said she's so used to seeing Misha goofing around that she can't take Castiel seriously any more. So I guess it works in reverse too.

There's no real point to this post btw. I was just sharing my thoughts. Also, harper47 said I haven't posted enough about Misha over the last few days ;)

(no subject)

Just a quick explanation for the new people to my flist. I like music. I walk 3 miles a day to and from work and my trusty iPod keeps me company. Because I like variety I do a poll every month asking my flisters to pick songs for me, which then forms a playlist for the month. It can be a new song or an old favourite. I'll listen to pretty much anything


[Poll #1582602]

MISHAAAAA!

There are new Misha pics online and no one told me. You all fail! Except a_carnal_mink who did tell me. She wins.

( Piccies )

I come cap in hand

Any graphically minded people want to make me a header out of this. Although Dean being slightly out of focus is kind of bugging me a little. Maybe this instead?

IDK. Any of these really

Oh, hello

Look! Someone who isn't Misha. Colin is looking goooood!

That's what I'm talking about

I'm pretty sure everyone in the UK was watching the tennis tonight. For those outside it got to the 5th set and just went on and on as the players kept getting into a tie. They wound up playing tennis for almost TEN HOURS. That's some epic stamina there! And it's still not over. Mahut asked for the match to be suspended for the day as it was getting too dark for them to see so play resumes in the morning.

It was a truly epic thing to watch though. Both players were clearly exhausted but they kept going and going.

Anyway, in honor of this have a J2 Tennis AU from last year's big bang

Topspin. It's glorious and chock full of hot angry sex
