sick habit


Now you may think a fan asking Misha and Jensen what they think about Destiel will send your squick-meter to 11 and your finger stabbing at the pause key, BUT trust me this is hilarious as the panel tries to explain Destiel to Jensen. (ps vid is spoilerfree)

I almost feel sorry for the fanling who was probably hoping for a validation of Dean and Cas' profound bond which would obviously be sexual if not for the crushing homophobia of the writers, actors and military-industrial-entertainment complex.



Jensen doesn't understand what the fan is asking, and turns to his colleagues for an explanation...
Ben Edlund: "That's some weird shit."
Jensen: "Is this something that you created, Ben?"
Ben: "You don't want any part of that."
Jim Beaver: "It's...extreme bromance."
Ben: "It's in fanfiction, and there's a lot of pictures of Dean in an angelic embrace - and that's being kind of gentle with it."
Misha: "Oh that, love that. I mean (pointing to Jensen) you've got pictures like that of us, in an embrace, all over your bedroom."
Ben: "Oh there's a van with that airbrushed on the side."
Jensen: "Oh yeah it's my conversion van. It's just a nice airbrush, there's a pillow in the back, there's not much room. Oh and a wolf howling at the moon.It's cool, you'll like it."



Seriously - pretty sure this house has no walls any more.

Also - Ben Edlund is among us.

Here in California it's shorthand for a certain kind of '70's-era low-rent pickup artist, specifically the kind who hopes to impress women by showing them a van tricked out with shag carpet, a sound system, a bed covered in an animal-print throw and a fridge full of wine coolers and Southern Comfort - and, as Ben says, something elaborate airbrushed on the exterior. You usually hear "van conversion" and there aren't that many around anymore, but they were up there with gold chains and chest hair as a seduction tool in the '70s.

Thanks!!! Like Andy's in Simon Said! I get it now. I was like "convert who to what"? Given the topic of conversation I was thinking perhaps it was a fic trope I'd missed. :)

Yep, exactly so, and not a fic trope, I think, because there's just no positive light in which to view a van conversion, unless it were the choice of that or a snowstorm on the way & no motels for miles...
