Unpopular opinion time.

See this girl?



Yes. This one. In the red.

She is engaged to Jared Padalecki.

And I- I think that's absolutely wonderful.

Genevieve seems like a sweet girl, and she and Jared deserve every happiness, both personally and professionally. I don't think their relationship was too short. I don't think they don't know each other well enough. I don't think they're making a huge mistake. But I do think fandom's reaction to the news is part of the reason Gen and Jared have been so leery about being open about their relationship.

Relationships are odd. Even when you know the two people involved, it's impossible to determine how the relationship is going to work out. And to decide whether or not two people who you don't even know are making a huge mistake and not actually in love not only strikes me as ridiculous, but also hugely distasteful. I don't know Genevieve or Jared. I don't know how their relationship works. I do know that love is a funny thing. I do know that they're engaged, and I do wish them great joy and much luck.

To that end, while I respect your right to your opinion, there will be no bashing of Genevieve or Jared or their relationship in my journal. (This also applies to Jensen and Danneel, but fandom, being fandom, has decided that that relationship is okay, so I don't think it's going to be a problem.) No, "I don't mind Gen, but I wish he'd married Sandy!" No, "But they haven't known each other long enough!" No, "But I'm just worried about Jared!" Nothing. Nada. Zip.

I can't (and probably shouldn't) control fandom, but my journal is my place. Jared and Genevieve deserve better than to have their relationship ripped apart by strangers.

Thank you and good night.

(Why yes. I did just disappear off the internet for a few days only to pop back up with a rant about fandom. What of it?)

ETA: While I am ~sharing~ my opinion with the internet, I think a sixth season of Supernatural would be absolutely fucking awesome. \o/

Hear hear.

Here is me hoping my flist doesn't run me out of town for this one. *g*

[familiardevil.livejournal.com]

Jared just should have married me.
Then none of this would have been a problem!

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

I find your opinion offensive.

Especially since you are married to me.

[lavendergaia]

I don't completely agree with everything you've said here, but I think all the open bashing has been pretty lame. I haven't said anything mostly because I have nothing celebratory to say (I like Gen, I just...look, Sophia and her puppies are lonely okay? :P). But all the bitching...people just need to get over it. It'll happen or it won't and nothing we can say is going to change that, so...get over it, people.

[familiardevil.livejournal.com]

Danneel looks like a little fox in your icon.

[mokusan.livejournal.com]

I'm excited for them! I don't like Genevieve as an actress, but that has absolutely nothing to do with her as a person and I really, really hope she and Jared are very happy.

As for sixth season... I'm on the fence. I haven't been happy with this season of SPN, and I'm afraid another season would just drag it down further, especially if they dragged out the apocalypse.

[mokusan.livejournal.com]

ALSO, anyone else think Genevieve looks like Lea Michele in that picture? I totally though that's who it was at first... Or I'm crazy, whatever.

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I comepltely agree. Season 6 *WOULD* be awesome.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

IT WOULD BE ~INTIMATE~ :D :D :D

INTIMATE LIKE SAM'S COCK INSIDE HIS BROTHER'S ASS.

[bananafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh bejezuz, it's a testament of how sleepy I am that I thought that was Lea Michele at first glance and then I saw the "engaged to Jared" part and did a spit take.

I-It's the hair~! I swear D: And the fact that I've been awake for 36 hours -headdesk- ...going to bed now...

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

You are actually not the first person to comment with that. They really do look a lot a like.

[bloodnfire.livejournal.com]

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

*molests you*

[cacklesthewitch.livejournal.com]

Personally, I don't believe in marriage so when I heard about the engagements I cringed - but I would cringe no matter what. But, whatever, good luck to them.

As for Season Six - YES, PLEASE! I really, really want and will cry if this is the last season. Seriously.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Hee! See, I don't particularly care about getting married, but if I do ever really fall in love with someone, I know I'd want to marry someone. And I love weddings...

I WOULD TOO. ;___; IT WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE LAST HP BOOK, IMO.

[meiou-set.livejournal.com]

So agree about JPad and Gen, I love that you made your lj a no-bashing space.

While I am ~sharing~ my opinion with the internet, I think a sixth season of Supernatural would be absolutely fucking awesome. \o/

Yeah, I haven't been at all that impressed with how s5 is going (speaking of unpopular opinions), so a return to tighter writing (I thought s4's writing was pretty good all things considered) would be awesome.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

This space is for positive energy only. ;) (Except when I need to rant and flail. But I reserve the right to be hypocritical.)

Hee. I love S5 and was not happy with S4, but I'm glad we both agree on an S6. I'm not ready for the show to end.

[asaneismrnuts.livejournal.com]

when i 1982 my mother took my dad to see her parents for the first time AND at that same visit broke the news to them that she was pregnant do you think my future grandparents thought that my parents were too quick or believed that this summer of 2010 my parents will have their 20th wedding anniversary? - my point being? Sometimes it doesn't take long for a relationship to become serious, but that doesn't mean that it is doomed to fail. And who are we to judge?

I wish them all the best! I'm a firm believe that we ALL deserve HAPPINESS!

*whisper* and yeah I'm kinda in the closet with this whole thing... or atleast just not verbal about it I guess.

[scoopchick.livejournal.com]

I don't really give a shit about anything else, but I really want ANOTHER SEASON OMG.

Okay, that's all. And hi! It's nice to meet you! :)

[scorpiod1.livejournal.com]

*leers at Gen* *licks screen* She's sooooo prettttttty.

*sigh* I'm always so late to these things. LOOK AT ALL THE COMMENTS! Why am I so behind on my flist?

Anyway, I agree with your unpopular opinion! While I do have moments of doubt regaurding their relationship, I don't know Jared. I don't know Genevieve and I don't know their relationship beyond what very little I've heard. I got no fucking right to judge them and I really like them both and I really hope they're happy together. <333333333

Also, OMG, WHY HAVE YOU DISAPPEARED? I MISSSSS YOUUUU. COME BACK! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT MY CLASSES DON'T START FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS ALREADY GONE BACK TO SCHOOL.

Also, while I do worry about the quality of a sixth season, I WILL BE WATCHING. I WILL BE WATCHING A 7TH SEASON. MY LOVE FOR THIS SHOW KNOWS NO BOUNDS. AS LONG AS SAM AND DEAN ARE IN IT, I WILL WATCHING AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT unless it turns into Heroes because that would break my heart. BUT STILL, SIXTH SEASON, I AM SO THERE.

[nitro26.livejournal.com]

I feel so bad for this poor girl and all the bashing she's getting. I really don't know much about her to be honest, but it's really pathetic the way fandom's reacting to the news. Hell, even Jared's getting hate. He doesn't have to marry someone YOU like. Is he getting married to make YOU happy? No. I wish people would just mind their own business. All these assumptions and stuff like "oh, he looks so miserable with her, poor bb Jared, what's she doing to him? :(" are disgusting and it's no wonder that he's trying to keep it all under wraps. Just because people watch the show, they think they know eveything about them. You don't know them in RL, there's a huuuuuuuge difference. Who are you to go around making judgements on their relationship? The boys are really amazing for being such sweethearts to their fans considering all the crap they have to deal with from them. (none of the 'yous' were directed at you btw :))

Great post. :) It's so nice to see some positivity.

[atimi.livejournal.com]

I have very little opinion on the Jared/Genevieve relationship apart from being happy for them but JFC, she is gorgeous.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

She really is! SPN always has the prettiest actresses. <3

[riotremyy.livejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

\o/

[domina-malfoy.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's so much a decision people have made in regards to the couple but just an opinion or feeling they have. Everyone has those. Can't really hold it against anyone. Except those select few...vocal...fans lol

[canyon_deye.livejournal.com]

Sixth season would be fantastic <333333
(I don't get why it wouldn't be...)

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

I don't get why it wouldn't be either! MOAR KRIPKE MOOOOAR

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

In a completely selfish way, I want like 10 more seasons of SPN. But I'm also a big proponent of quality over quantity, so I'm real iffy about S6.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

See, if we were talking about a 7th or an 8th season of SPN, I might agree. But I really don't think the quality has gone down, and really, really love season 5 so far. So I think Kripke and Co. and the J's could pull off a sixth season and pull it of fantastically.

Of course, if we do get a sixth season, I'll be saying the same about a seventh. ;)

[opheliahyde.livejournal.com]

*builds a pillow fort in this post and snuggles in* Thank you, so very much ♥ You said everything I wanted to say, but was too scared of the tomatoes to do so. *hugs you*

Also, WHY ARE PEOPLE SO UPSET ABOUT S6? MORE WINCHESTERS ON MY TEEVEE, PLEASE AND THANK YOU.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

*snuggles in with you* No problem, bb. I am always willing to rant and rave about my opinions. ;D

I HAVE NO IDEA. WINCHESTERS ARE AWESOME. THEREFORE, IT LOGICALLY FOLLOWS, THAT MORE WINCHESTERS WOULD BE EVEN MORE AWESOME! \o/

[stubbel.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA! :DDDD

YOU ROCK! ♥

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Thanks bb! <333333

[websofseaweed.livejournal.com]

God, THIS. So much. People need to learn to mind their own business. We don't really know anything about their relationship, so how can we judge?

Thank you for saying this. *g*

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And no problem. ;) I had a feeling a lot of people felt similarly.

[familiardevil.livejournal.com]

I told you this post would go well.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Yes, you were right. How are your midterms going?

[heartsonwings.livejournal.com]

Good for you speaking your mind :)
No one should be bashed on their LJ.


I have no problem with the engagement. So no wank from me ;)

*hugs*


Also, I WOULD SO LOVE A SIXTH SEASON!! <333

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

A SIXTH SEASON WOULD BE AMAZING. OMG I NEED IT SO BAD. D: D: D:

[scintilla10.livejournal.com]

I agree with your unpopular opinions.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

I've come to realize that most unpopular opinions really aren't that unpopular. *g*

[yellowwolf5.livejournal.com]

*claps* I agree! Who are we to judge their relationship? If they're ready to take the step, then it's no one's business but their own!
I'm happy for them! Genevieve is really pretty and she seems really nice! Power to them! lol.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I agree with you completely. <3

(and it's good to see you around again!)
