"The problem with Jared Padalecki is that he is an idiot and a stupid. No, really.
He may have been a scholar in school and he may have shown his intelligence in various competitions, when it comes to the people he loves, he is stupid and oblivious. And the biggest problem with him is he doesn't know when to quit. If 327 episodes of Supernatural is any indication...
And he is hugely optimistic. He isn't tired of chanting praises about the so called SPNfamily. Well Jared, the good ones already upgraded to WalkerFamily...Let the rest of the abomination go. But no, he just can't leave it alone! See problematic!
And he will still praise and interact with the so called "friends" who would shit on him and the show he has worked so hard on, for 2 seconds of screen time and a little pay check. He will still cater to Stands for some God forsaken reason who insults him every single chance they get.
Jared Padalecki is stupid and oblivious about all of these. But he is the stupidest and the most oblivious about Jensen Ackles. The guy who was supposed to be his partner, it was supposed to be the two of them against the world, just like Sam and Dean. Or at least that's what Jared thought. But really, they are freaking actors. Jensen doesn't owe him shit. The show is over. And if Jensen wants to go far far away from him, who could blame Jensen? Jared should have seen it coming. The signs were all there.
When Jared came back from the worst experience of his life, he saw Jensen was relieved to have Jared back. And Jared thought it was love, it was friendship. Little did he know, Jensen was relieved that the show wouldn't end and he would still have a paycheck. Jared thought his best friend was saving him, while he was just saving his job.
The next time Jared went to the edge again, this time Jensen was ready with a back up plan. Everything was ready for Jared's departure. Jensen was ready to replace Jared in the call sheet and Misha was ready to be his partner. They even created YANA - a perfect way to say good bye to Jared and promote themselves as the leads. But Jared came back. And stupidly forgot and forgave everything.
When the actual time came to end the show for real, Jared stupidly thought the comment Jensen made in cons, "You'll produce, I'll direct. It's gonna be awesome." He stupidly thought Jensen meant that. How idiot are you to believe everything that is said? It's just PR. Playing it up for the audience. Jensen did it for 15 years. Now he was done. Now he wants to build an image separate from Jared. That's what normal co-workers do. But obviously Jared didn't get that memo.
As the show neared it's ending, Jensen's eagerness to play up their so called "best-friend" ship also significantly dimmed. The guy who would "accidentally slip" their private time stories in cons to show how much they love to hang out with each other off camera suddenly didn't have a pic of or with Jared and had to make a birthday wishing post all about Supernatural. Apart from one Walker post which might be a future paycheck for him at some point, he couldn't be bothered to mention Jared once in any Instagram post for almost two years. The next year he only posted the birthday wish on Twitter, so his Instagram remains clean...And also that was too because he had to. After all, his image was only hurt on Twitter.
I mean he is doing a show named "The Winchesters" with 3 of the Winchesters out of 4 for crying out loud. How many hints does Jared need to get the point?
Just because Jared has been thinking to work with Jensen again since the moment Supernatural was ending, does not mean Jensen wants that too. Just because Jared loves with all of his heart, doesn't mean everyone deserves that too. It's Hollywood. To quote the Jared antis online, "Jared needs to learn from his mistakes."
Jared needs to learn how to say I love you and not mean it.
Jared needs to learn that no one is a friend in this business.
Jared needs to learn to leave people behind and move on.
22+ years on television, and he is still not learning. He is still waiting for Jensen to say yes to direct Walker just cause he wants to work with his friend again. He needs to learn that even if that happens, that will be for PR and a paycheck. Jared needs to face the reality or he will stay problematic."
It was the blog opened in Jared's screen when Jensen walked into Jared's trailer to give him a surprise. He hasn't talked to Jared in a few days. Well honestly they haven't talked like they used to since the fight. It was off between them and Jensen was determined to make it up to him. So when he saw the blog named Jared Padalecki is problematic, he got angry and thought Jared was reading hate blogs of him again. But then he read it, he saw what it looked like to the outside world, everything he has been doing.
"Jensen?" Jared was shocked to see Jensen in his trailer, in Austin, of course he didn't tell him. Now a days he tells him nothing anyways.
"Jared, do you believe it? Do you really think that? Cause none of it- none of it is true!"
