World History: A2/J2

(TTLY NOT GAY)

Intro To World History:

Hey, bb’s! Let me just start this off by saying, I’m taking a step outside the box for this post, cuz there are some things that need to be said. We don’t do very many SRS BZNS posts around here, cuz we like to keep things light. But seeing as how it’s been an emotionally emotional week, I just wanna get this all out. So bear with me. On top of that, you all know how fucking long-winded I can be. And I feel a novel coming on. So, sorry in advance.

I just wanna start out by thanking you guys for, not only, NOT participating in the wank surrounding Jared last week, but for also not bringing it over here. I know there were a lot of shitty things being said elsewhere, but I am so glad that this particular group had the common decency to stay the hell out of it, and not participate in the fuckery. It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t amusing. And I was not impressed. So A+ to everyone here for acting like the classy broads I know you are. And THANK YOU DALLAS for being made of awesome, and not asking him questions about it. Cuz while y’all were busy being amazing, respectful fans, the rest of fandom lost its collective fucking mind on Sunday. The internet exploded in a massive shitstorm, and I had to shut down my computer to avoid having a goddamn conniption fit. EPIC FAIL for fandom that day. Seriously, it was embarrassing to witness.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly some fans will turn on someone based on rumors. Completely ridiculous, unfounded, “why the FUCK would anyone even bother making this shit up” rumors. Now, I don’t know Jared’s situation, nor do I need to know, as it’s not my business. But I will say, it absolutely KILLS me to know that he’s going through this. Seriously, my soul is fucked up right now. And here, you all thought I was soulless. Pfft. Most of you don’t know this about me, but I’m a truly empathetic person. I feel everything. everything. ev-ery-thing. Some people would say that that’s a great trait to have. But, to be honest, I kinda fucking hate it. I hate that I can walk into a room at any given moment, and whatever the energy is in that room can affect my whole mood. It sucks. I cry over everything…even things that have absolutely nothing to do with me. Needless to say, last Thursday night, I IM’d Ashley, then we both proceeded to cry our fucking faces off over this. Maybe we’re being over dramatic. Maybe not.

I KNOW how silly it sounds. We. do. not. know. these. people. Not even a little bit. But in my case, I guess it’s just too easy for me to relate. Those of you who know me, know that I went through my own bullshit break up of epic proportions a few months back. And I’m sure y’all recall the wank surrounding that, and what I had to deal with. All I have to say is thank GOD I’m not anyone of importance, cuz if I’d had to deal with that bullshit in the public eye, y’all woulda seen my ass on Access Hollywood sittin’ in some Beauty Salon with a pair of clippers in my hand, shaving my head. For serious. So Jared Padalecki, you are a stronger person than I. And I am truly impressed by your bravery and your dedication to the fans by actually going to the con this past weekend. Seriously, there are no words. Cuz don’t get me wrong, I love y’all to pieces, but…pssh. Fuck. That. Be ASSED with y’all if I’m going through drama. And I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. So MAJOR kudos to Jared.

Having said that, I wanna say a little something about friendship and how important it is. I don’t know about y’all, but my friends are like family to me. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them. And while it’s all great and good to have lots of friends, I think it’s also important to have one single person in your life that you connect with in a way that you’ve never connected with anyone else ever before. Some people would call it a bff, but even bff’s come and go. In this case, I think the term “same-sex soulmate” would be more fitting. And I think it’s fairly clear that this is what Jensen and Jared are to one another. All silly gay jokes aside, there is SOMETHING about these two as a pair that is just truly captivating, for lack of a better word. Or maybe there is a better word. I dunno. Their chemistry on and off screen is ridiculous, and the genuine exhibition of love and brotherhood between the two is palpable. They are the epitome of what best friends SHOULD be. And anyone who’s ever witnessed it in person knows what I mean. This is gonna sound totally gay, but whenever they’re together, whether on screen or on stage at a con, it is fucking magical. *spirit fingers* LOL. No, I’m serious. Don’t try to deny their epic bro-mance!

The way they take care of and guard one another is ridic. Whether it’s Jared staying close to Jensen at cons because he knows cons make him nervous, or whether it’s Jensen sending his ENTIRE FAMILY to support Jared at a con when he’s going through shit… Could they BE more amazing? Dude, I wanna full on make out with Jensen for that. No shit. Well…that, and for my own personal, self-serving reasons…but we won’t get into that. (HOR!) Is it just me or is Jensen like that hot guy you went to high school with that you had a massive fucking crush on, but he never spoke to you, so you assumed he didn’t know you existed, but in reality he like TOTALLY had a crush on you too but was too shy to say anything, and nevermind the fact that he’s prettier than any girl you’ve ever met, which is kinda fucking intimidating, right? Holy run on sentence, Batman. But, anyway, then when you talk to him you find out he’s totally normal and down to earth and snarky and just…easy. And then there’s Jared. Jared, Jared, Jared. He is the biggest ray of fucking sunshine to ever come into existence. LOL. For serious. He’s like Jesus on a pogo stick. He’s all things happy and right and wonderful in the world…only bouncier! Put the two together, and all ovaries within a hundred mile radius explode. This is TRU FAX.

It would seem as though SSS’s are hard to come by these days. But J-Squared aren’t the only lucky ones. I’ve been fortunate enough meet my mind mate as well. And wouldn’tcha know it, we have Jensen and Jared to thank for that.

The A-Squared Effect:

Y’all may know her as MT, but I know her as Ash. And those of you who were with us from the beginning, know that we met up at a little blog that is the phenom known as wetforwent.org. I can see many of you shedding a “glory tear” reminiscing about the good ol’ days. Awww, I miss ‘em too, bb’s. So, Ash came into the c-box one day while some of us “old timers” were shootin’ the shit, being our usual horny, perverted selves, and much to our surprise she just jumped right the fuck on in, and didn’t miss a beat. I remember thinking at the time..”Hm. This girl’s alright!” Hahaha. Little did I know.

So once Prison Break went on hiatus, I got suckered into watching SPN, which I’d resisted for months. I won’t get into the details, but let’s just say I was intrigued about the show after being linked MASSIVE amounts of fan!fic by my fellow former Prettyphiles. Only, the fuckers didn’t tell me it was Wincest. To this day, I still maintain that I had NO IDEA they were brothers! Hahahaha. STFU. Anyway, needless to say, after watching 2 episodes, I went out and bought the entire season 1 boxset (s2 wasn’t out yet). In about a week, I was stoopid obsessed with this show, and apparently so was everyone else. Cuz that’s all we fucking talked about in that box. As I recall, Krissie wanted to kill us. But that was long before she understood the wonders of J². Anyhoo, at that time, Ash was one of the last people to jump on board the SPN/J² Train. She flat out refused to admit that Jensen was pretty, and had no clue who “the other one” was. We spent SO much time debating this. She insisted that Channing “Ipecac” Tatum was WAY hotter than Jensen… which, for obvious reasons, is laugh out loud funny. Seriously, y’all remember that shit? Hardy har har. Then one day back in September, I received the following message on MySpace:

AJ, look what you’ve done to me! I’m now finding this attractive. Just this one pic!

he still makes me want to vomit though! Damn im so confused! Dare i say it, but, mmmmmmm JENSEN!

ARGGGGHH wash my mouth out with soap!!

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! RESISTANCE IS FUCKING FUTILE!!!

So she immediately spammed me some Ipecac pictures, and we ended up having a battle fucking royale over the next few weeks on our MySpaces. And finally, FINALLY…I managed to do her in with this one:

OWNED, BITCH! This is the shot that got her to admit, that um, yeah…that is sex on legs right there. So I finally had Jensen on lock, and well, Jared was easy. I gave her this shot and she was done:

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is the shot that turned her into a full on J² WHORE. That is the day that Wentworth took a backseat, and the Js took the wheel. And that is the day our wheels started turning…

I can not even begin to explain how quickly things spiraled out of control for us. People in the c-box had been telling me for months that I should be blogging. About something. Anything. Apparently people think I’m funny. Why? I have no fucking clue. I’d entertained the idea of blogging about the Js, but didn’t want to do it alone, since A) It’s a big topic to cover and B) I’d never done this before. So, after Ash and I fully switched over from being Prettyphiles to J-Squared whores and managed to get ourselves and Jedi kicked out of the c-box for incessant J-Squared picspams that evenutally led to a massive explosion…I asked Ash if she wanted to blog with me. She said “hell motherfucking yes,” and the rest, as they say, is history. While we mapped out the blog, which would eventually evolve in concept to a “school,” we set up a J-box for all the pic!spamming and chatter to commence. It was somewhere within that couple of weeks before launching the blog, that Ash, who has a knack for naming things, decided that we must have a nickname that encompasses our awesome. LOL. And that, Sasquatches, is how A-Squared was born.

Fast forward 7 months later, and here we are. Still running this place into the ground. Crazier than ever. And more obsessed dedicated than we’ve ever been. I know many of you over the months have witnessed the “MT and AJ show” that frequently occurs in the J-box, where we often come up with our post ideas…well, before we head to the Impala and flat out ignore y’all. And I know many of you have also witnessed first hand the “shared brain syndrome” that we’ve apparently got going on.

Never in my life, have I ever met someone that thinks EXACTLY the way I think. Never in my life have I met someone who understands EXACTLY what I’m feeling. Never in my life have I met someone who really, truly GETS me. And then I met Ash. We’re from two different parts of the world. We come from two different cultures. There’s a 4 year age difference between us. And we’ve never met face to face. Yet, I feel like she may very well know me better than anyone. She knows things about me that my family and friends will never fucking know, and vice versa.

We share our innermost thoughts, feelings, cracktastic dreams and downright outrageous ideas with one another. I’m not sure either one of us knows why, but we can tell each other pretty much anything and KNOW that the other’s gonna understand. There is no judgment between us. Sure we give each other shit all the time, for laughs… and that REALLY is our thing. But at the end of the day, it’s a very real friendship. One that probably would never have come into fruition the way it has if it weren’t for J-Squared. I’m not joking when I say that the “wet Jensen” picture above is what started it all. If not for the J-Squared shenanigans that took place in the c-box, we all probably would have just fallen off the map at this point once we’d moved on from Went fandom. And GOD, is that a depressing thought… Ew, we’d all have been reduced to having REAL LIVES! *mock horror* Pssh. DO NOT WANT.

In Conclusion (Yes, we’re finally there):

To Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, thank you for all your hard work and for your dedication to this fandom. Thank you for caring enough about your fans to do these cons and actually make time for us. All former Prettyphiles in attendance can assure you that this is indeed very rare, and therefore much appreciated. And thank you guys for inadvertently bringing so many of us together, and in turn creating some pretty epic lifelong friendships. You guys probably don’t realize this, but SO many of your fans have found their SSS’s thanks to the two of you. And that’s pretty damn amazing. *smishes you both*

To Ashley! My partner in crime, my other half, lurve of my virtual life. LOL. What a ride, bb! Thanks for everything…yes, even distracting me at work. Seriously, if a client sues me one day cuz their house falls down, I’ma blame you. Count. On. That. LOLOLOL. No one makes me laugh like you do, bb. And together, we’re amazing. AHAHAHAHHA. I love us. I really do. No wonder people ship us almost as hard as J². At any rate, I’ll be seeing your ass in Chicago in November-Y/Y? You know you’re my favorite closet ginger, right? *mwah*

To everyone reading this… Sorry for going all emo on y’all. Well, those of you who actually read the whole thing. Ahahahaha. Anyhoo, when we started this place we decided that we were gonna do it just for us. We were gonna post/write about things that made US laugh. So Ash and I are just glad that we’ve managed to find a handful of people who’re just as amused with our nonsense as we are. Thanks for all your support, bb’s. And stick around, cuz there’s more LULZ to come. Forreal, keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle, cuz we plan to ride this bitch till the wheels fall off…

Love Y’all! *single emo tear of silliness*

All the Best,

Amber
