Uy, a Dakara también la sigo y ahorita ya llegó a la 15. Ah, muero de nervios jajaja. Siempre estoy entre The reel rejects, Dakara, Geeked out nation, Shiny antics y ahora Shelly . Antes veía a The Sorores pero ya dejaron de reaccionar en Patreon así que ni modo. Siempre busci reacciones de Lost y SPN. Un placer encontrarnos por acá 🤗

Vi las primeras temporadas hace uhh años! Pero la uni y el trabajo deje de verlo, pero por la pandemia y que sabía que terminaría, seguí viéndola y me uni al fandom después del cap final y con Shelley poco después, y he estado aquí desde entonces 🙌🏻
Pd: tambien hago eso de cambiar cada tanto 😅 pero a Shelley y Dakara siempre las sigo ✌🏻

Hola, Luis! Nueva en el fandom, no jaja. Incluso sigo a varios reactors de SPN, pero a Shelly la veía mucho en Youtube y no había podido suscribirme. Algunos meses me suscribo a varios y en otros cambio. Me gusta su forma de reaccionar y además adoro SPN. Y tú cuánto llevas aquí o en el fandom? 😊

I love the door story. It’s great. Not quite as epic as Jared & Gen’s train story, but the understated short story fits Jensen so much better

I've been in a number of fandoms and Supernatural in my opinion has been the most welcoming, supportive and enjoyable one I've ever experienced. A huge list of SPN Cons can be found on youtube; we won't tally up the amount of hours I have spent watching them - and then watching them a second or third time.
I watched the premiere in 2005 and never stopped, because once you reach the end (sob) you just go back and start again.
Netflix was a huge boost for Supernatural. It's raised a whole new generation of fans many who binged the entire series in a month or less. That could have been when there were only 8 seasons or 14 and I'm sure people are doing the same now with all 15.
Was so glad to see this compilation. Jensen's breaking down the door story is one of my favorites. Any of the ones where they talk about their kids are adorable; the video with Jensen and Jared's son, Thomas, are too precious for words ( I confess I melt a little when I watch them) And so many of the cast members remain close and dedicated to their fans.
It's fun to watch the early ones and watch how actors gradually become more relaxed over the years.
The intention was to continue the cons long beyond the end of the series. J2 and Misha and other castmates - some you haven't seen yet) have continued with live stream panels during Covid. It's not the same but it is something rather than nothing and we gain a little more insight on what's happening with the guys when they reconnect on these live streams.

Every time I see you so excited about SPN FANDOM, I know you will love SPN fanfiction too. We have so many great and amazing writers and so good stories. So, enjoy to be in this fandom because it doesn't matter if it has a few bad apples like crazy fans🍎 ... Your enjoyment and love for all the characters is the important thing here 💕
Oh, by the way.. I haven't say hello before. I'm from Veracruz, Mexico and I really enjoy your reactions. Love to be here 🤗

Hahahaha. I agree with you Linda - let them bitch. The SM beef was the oldest trick in the book (look at the music, sports and almost every other industry..drama inevitably sells) and we love them so much we fell for it. It's adorable. But hey...everyone's talking about the prequel, and that brings the investors to help finance the production (CW only pays you back after the fact) and that was the entire point. A+ use of SM to create buzz.

My first fandom was the X-Files...but back then, we had fanzines and newsletters.
The SPN fandom most certainly has it's ups and downs, but I think the most fascinating part was that WB/CW really used social media to help gain an audience and help engage the fans. That was a big step forward for the fans to have access, but can also have it's drawbacks with irresponsible SM use. It's been kind of strange to see people engage in hate towards the writers, showrunners and cast over silly things that should only exist in fandom, but here we are. SPN (fandom) is very much comparable to GenX - the generational middle child...(besides actually being created by one, most of the cast is also from that generation) it was both pre and post social media boom and can exist within both worlds without any problems. It will always find a place to exist regardless of the platform. The first fanfiction was literally written after the first episode aired...and the last...? That'll be an interesting one for sure ;)

Jensen is from Dallas and so he cheers for the Mavericks. Jared is from San Antonio so he follows the Spurs, but I don’t recollect if they talked about favorite players. More often they talked about the Cowboys.
When they were talking about showing Sam’s work out and Jensen referenced a tweet Jared had sent the night before, it was actually not a tweet that Jared sent but it was payback from Misha who got Jared’s phone and sent a tweet from Twitter saying something like “I have a small penis.” So Jensen using the word elongated was somewhat apropos. And then Jared said he has a long torso and Jensen’s reply…”So that’s where the length went.“
Shelley, have you seen any of Dark Angel? I would have requested it, but it’s not on any streaming service. Would have to get creative in getting you the episodes (at least one or two).

Jensen was in season 2 of Dark Angel, season 4 of Smallville and the last season of Dawson's Creek. He's been in other things, and movies, but these are the ones most people have seen. I may have seen Jensen in Days of Our Lives, but I don't remember. I first took note of him in Dark Angel, so was very keen when I saw he was going to be in this new show that looked interesting.

Thanks Luis!! I always love yours too! 😊 Yes, I see the toxic fans in this fandom for sure. But I stay off Twitter where it is apparently the worst (as per usual with Twitter!) and I have also felt very accepted in the fandom.
Glad you finally got to hear the hotel story. It's so hilarious and just such a Dean thing to do. I'm sure he quite happily paid for the door just so that he got to go to sleep. 😄

So glad you enjoyed the video! I clicked so fast! 😍
I am so happy to have you as part of the fandom, Shelley! You're making it so much fun to go through all the episodes again, and I love watching you fall in love with the boys the same way we all have.
Don't worry about the prequel stuff. It's no biggie. It's all been sorted and the only people still on about stuff are definitely the toxic fan crowd.
Here's a little history about my experience with SPN. I was in my mid 20s when Supernatural started. (I'm almost exactly 6 months younger than Jensen.) I didn't watch it when it first started because I'm a big coward and get freaked out easily. Lol! I love horror movies and like watching them with others, but I don't do well watching scary things on my own. So, I just left it.
But I was a fan of Jared's from his role on Gilmore Girls (LOVE that show!) so I never really forgot it was on, and I sort of absorbed some stuff through the osmosis of social media and I saw an episode here and there. I knew the very general storyline, and that it was a SUPER long running show.
But I didn't actually start watching until right before the pandemic hit, toward the end of 2019. My daughter and I (she's 13) started watching together and really loved it right off the bat.
Then the pandemic hit and SPN became such a source of joy during a VERY terrible time. We just finished the whole series a couple months ago. (Yeah, we watched the whole series in a little over a year. LOL! Lots of binge watching.) I was also VERY sad that I'd never get to watch another new SPN episode. But all I'll say is that in 15 seasons of the show there are only 2 episodes that I actually didn't like at all and only a handful of episodes that were just a little "meh". So out of 327 episodes I genuinely enjoy or absolutely love about 320 of them. Not too shabby! I was very happy in the end.
As we discovered the show, I began to discover the Con stuff on YouTube and that was it, I was done, hooked for life. SPN will likely always be my favourite TV show and Dean will for sure ALWAYS be my favourite character. In the exact same way it happened to you, I fell in love with Dean first and then fell in love with Jensen too. They are both incredibly loveable. 😊
I know just how lucky we are to have this amazing cast and crew/family. I also would LOVE to go to a con someday. But money is pretty scarce and I don't imagine that happening anytime soon if ever. So, I am SO grateful to the people who share their con videos with us. They've given us such a gift.
I have fallen into my SPN obsession happily. I have a LOT of probably useless facts in my head about the show and the cast. 😄 Making these videos and sharing them with you has been so much fun for me. Love seeing your reactions to the incredibly charming, charismatic and funny cast!
Thanks for making this tier and for letting us relive the joy of first time viewing of the episodes.

So I see that the fart story traumatized you 😅 and I take full responsibility (and the straight Misha face😅)
Linda! This was great, I kept hearing about the hotel story but never crossed paths with it, and with a lot more! Always enjoy your requests so much 🙌🏻
I agree, so much toxicity in well, pretty much everywhere, but so far (for me) this fandom has been the most welcoming, loving and caring of the ones I’ve “been” and hope we can keep sharing the good side as its the majority of it.
Great reaction to an awesome compilation 🙌🏻 see you in the next one
