Supernatural Hell Part 3/? (J.W.)

Kelp: Don't do it.

Joy: I'm gonna do it.

Kelp: But there's SO MUCH-

Joy: But just HOW much is so much? Aren't you curious?

Kelp: I'm curious but afraid.

Joy: You should be.

Kelp: JOY-

Joy: HEY AIR!

Air: Yes?

Joy: So now that Supernatural's ended, you're gonna focus more on following the cast and watching their new projects, right?

Air: Yep! Somebody's gotta support them.

Joy: But like, do you even know anything about the cast? Cause you've only met one of them and-

Air: Are you asking me to list everything I know about the Supernatural cast?

Joy: That is exactly what I'm asking.

Air: *starts crying*

Joy: What-

Air: *hugs Joy*

Air: YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS QUESTION.

Kelp: Oh, here we go.

Air: *inhales*

Air: Supernatural is the longest running live action fantasy series in American history, it's broadcasted on the CW and created by Eric Kripke, who left the show after season 5 because he wanted it to end at season 5 but fans kept it alive for 10 more seasons. If it had kept the original ending, Castiel would've turned out to be God. The writers went on a strike in season 3 and that's why that season is so much shorter than all the others, and every season after that has been slightly longer to make up for it with the exception of season 15. There are 327 episodes of Supernatural, 2 seasons of an anime version, and one animated crossover with scooby doo, in which Jensen Ackles voiced Velma. The show ran from 2005-2020, with one major hiatus mid season due to COVID. Episode 1 aired on September 13th, and the finale aired on November 19th, which, coincidentally, is the same date that Carry On Wayward Son, the show's main theme song, was originally released. The leads of the show are Jensen Ross Ackles, who lives in Austin with his wife Danneel Ackles nee Harris and their three kids- Justice Jay, who goes by JJ, and twins Arrow Rhodes and Zeppelin something. Jared wanted him to name the twins Kindness Kim and Lucky Larry and was sad when he didn't. Apparently though, after JJ was born, Jensen called up Jared, crying into the phone that he had a baby girl and Jared cried with him. Zeppelin was not named after the band, but after a kind of knot. Jensen has a sister and a father who also act, and his sister has played roles in at least two episodes of Supernatural. Jensen and Danneel met on the set of a movie called Ten Inch Hero, and Jensen used to spend a lot of his time traveling between shooting shows and visiting her while they were dating. Jensen is in a band called Radio Company with his former college roommate Steve Carlson, and Vol. 1 is AMAZING. He also runs a brewery in Driftwood, Texas called Family Business Brewing Co. and they make their own beer. He and Danneel have recently opened a production company within Warner Bros, and there's a creepy baby doll in the guest room of their house that freaks Jensen out but Danneel thinks its cute. He has also directed a few episodes of Supernatural and seems to like directing. Jared Tristan Padalecki is the other lead, and he met his wife Genevieve Padalecki nee Cortese on season 4 of the show. They got married in the winter, Jensen was one of his groomsmen but NOT his best man, and Misha also attended. It was a beautiful wedding. Jared and Gen have three kids- Tom, Shep, and Odette. They also have a large garden and a pool at their house and they used to have chickens but Gen forgot to lock their pen one night so they got eaten. Jared owns a bar and he runs a lot of charity campaigns to help people deal with anxiety and depression, as he struggled with depression when he was younger. His current campaign is You Define You and his most famous one was Always Keep Fighting. He embraces the moose nickname, and he and Gen run marathons a lot. They live within a mile of Jensen and Danneel and the four of them hang out a lot, their kids are friends, and they go to music festivals together. Jared's brother is taller than he is if you can believe it, and he actually injured himself on two separate occasions on the set of Supernatural. Gen Padalecki took a break from acting after her and Jared starting having children, but she runs a lifestyle blog called Now&Gen, which recently released an AWESOME clothing line that was designed entirely by Gen and used patterns based on her tablecloths. It's sold at Kohl's. She also does workout videos with her trainer on Youtube sometimes, as well as promoting products her family uses like dog food, cereal, and beauty products. She also has a book club, and Odette likes to star in her videos a bunch. The Padalecki family has also done a few commercials for Minute Maid, and Jensen Ackles has done commercials to encourage people in Texas to wear seatbelts. Misha Collins is the third lead of the show. He originally thought he was going to play a demon and that he'd only be around for a max of 4 or 5 episodes. That didn't happen, and now he regrets using such a deep voice for the character. He lives in Washington, I believe, and is married to Vicki Vantoch, his high school sweetheart. He used to write poems about her nose in English class, and he made her wedding ring. He also built their house and most of the furniture in it. Their kids are West and Maison, although there are a lot of conspiracies that Alexander Calvert is also his son. We'll never know for sure. West Collins supposedly took his first steps at Jensen Ackles's house and promptly fell into the pool- Misha and Jensen jumped in at the same time to save him. Vicki is awesome, she writes books about threesomes and has a PHD. She and Misha are poly. Misha used to do a cooking show with his son called Cooking Fast and Fresh with West- it was adorable yet horrifying, although pasta with jam sauce did not taste as bad as I was expecting. Misha's actual name is Dimitri Tippens Krushnic and he grew up in Boston, although his family was very poor and sometimes homeless. He got bullied a lot in school because he was poor and overweight, but he had a friend who's mother would pack him two lunches everyday so he could give one to Misha. He got arrested once for reading on top of a bank. He had a tea party in the middle of a highway. He was an intern at the White House, and he stole security badges and turned them into a mobile. He went to the University of Chicago and, unlike Jensen and Jared, went to drama school. He is involved in many many charities, although he is the main face of GISH, formerly GISHWSHES, and Random Acts. He recently did a charity campaign to end homelessness with Michael Sheen, as they both play angels. The campaign was called Be Super Good. He is SO FUCKING NICE, and his eyes are so blue there is not a shade of blue you can compare them to. Misha has a brother, and he and his wife briefly ran a show called TSA America which Danneel Ackles guest starred in. He also ships Destiel. Rob Benedict, who plays Chuck, had a stroke, but it didn't do any permanent damage because Richard Speight Jr. caught the symptoms of it really early. Rob and Rich are very close friends, and did a show together called Kings of Con, which they recently sold the office space for. They did a quarantine podcast called And my Guest is Richard Speight together and are now doing a Kings of Con podcast. Rob has two kids, a daughter and a son, and Richard has three sons- Frank, Fletcher, and and I always forget the name of his third son, I wanna say Steve? His wife's name is Jaci Hayes and she has a tattoo of a machete going down her spine, hence the nickname the Machete. Rob and Rich live near each other, somewhere near Silverlake Wine in California, and in addition to Supernatural, they are good friends with the cast of Lucifer. They once filmed Matt Cohen running naked in the streets and laughed when a guy screamed at them and flipped him off. Richard Speight has a problem with his neighbor's dog pooping on his lawn, and both Rob and Rich are apart of a small gang called the Milan Boys, don't ask. Both of them have bands- Rob Benedict is the lead in Louden Swain, which plays at all the SPN cons, and Richard has Dick Jr. and the Volunteers. Currently Richard and his family are staying up in Joseph, Oregon, until the plague dies down and they go back home. Similar to Rob Benedict, Timothy Osmundson also had a stroke, but his left some damage, but he's up and acting so he's doing well. Other actors on the show include Matt Cohen, Lauren Cohen (no relation), Alona Tal, Julie McNivern, Felicia Day, Osric Chau, Fredric Lehne, Samantha Smith, Jeffery Dean Morgan, Alexander Calvert, Sebastian Roche, Alania Huffman, Mark Sheppard, Mark Pellegrino, Ty Olsson, Jim Beaver, Adam Fergus, David Haydn-Jones, DJ Qualls, Kim Rhodes, Brianna Buckmaster, Ruth Connell, Colin Ford, Shoshannah Stern, Rachel Miner, Jake Abel, Lisa Berry, and Emily Swallow. Other crew members include Robert Singer and Andrew Dabb. Mark Sheppard met his wife at a SPN con, Jeffery Dean Morgan and Jensen and Jared all got the same tattoo for the Winchester boys at Jeffery's wedding, Samantha Smith recently won a battle with breast cancer, many of the cast members have played one if not multiple roles in various Hillywood parodies, include the Supernatural ones, the Umbrella Academy, and the Stranger Things one. The cast has also had roles on the following shows: The Mandalorian, American Horror Story, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Gray's Anatomy, Smallville, The Walking Dead, Whiskey Cavalier, Timeless, Nip & Tuck, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, How to get away with Murder, Firefly, Doctor Who, This is Us, One Tree Hill, Lucifer, Castlevania, Red Hood, Band of Brothers and soon The Boys and Walker: Texas Ranger. They've also been in movies like Cheaper by the Dozen, Friday the 13th, The Blues Brothers, National Treasure, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, etc, although Jensen turned down roles to be I think it was Captain America in order to focus on Supernatural. The cast is all very close and supportive of each other, and when Supernatural came back most of them participated in a zoom livestream in which they were supposed to watch the episode as it aired but instead just ended up chatting with each other. Jensen and Danneel zoomed in from the backseat of the Impala, AKA Baby 1- the main car they used for filming Supernatural, which Jensen, after YEARS of begging, was allowed to take home with him, along with the green cooler. He drives it around Austin now despite the fact that it is not registered nor does it have insurance, and he and his wife have made out in the backseat. Jared supposedly got to take home Baby 2- the other fully functional Impala from the show, and Misha kept many of Cas's trenchcoats. Before the show went on a break due to COVID, Misha took a bunch of props, including the trenchcoat home with him because he was unsure if they would ever be coming back. He also stole Jared's wallet. This is not the first time they have stolen things from set. At the end of season 1, the boys crash the Impala and before they started shooting the scene, Jared noticed the Impala's hood ornament sitting on the dashboard, and he swiped it. I believe he and Jensen have also taken some of the outfits the boys wear home before, although no one knows what happened to Dean's leather jacket. It's believed it was stolen during a convention. The cast LOVES to prank each other on set. Jared and Jensen in particular team up a ton to prank others, especially Misha and Alexander Calvert. On a last day filming, they were doing the final scene, where Misha had to deliver a line and walk toward the camera. As he did this, Jensen and Jared stood on either side of the camera and would pass a prop to each other, ruining the shot, over and over. Understandably, they have been thrown off the set many times. Once they got Misha so mad that he made a paper airplane out of rage and angrily threw it at them while cursing, but the plane just crashed to the floor so Jensen just burst out laughing. It's on the gag reel, along with many sexual innuendos, swears, and dancing. I love the gag reels. Among the most famous pranks was the many times Misha has been pied in the face- once multiple times in one day. Misha got Jared back though, as he lost $2,000 dollars to him once in Words With Friends, and paid the debt in pennies, which he dumped in Jared's car. According to Jared, they still jingle around anytime he drives. Jensen and Jared used to prank each other, but they stopped after Jensen pranked Jared so bad that they had to buy Jared a whole new trailer. Their first prank on Alexander Calvert was to take him out to dinner, and when he turned his back after insisting on paying, Jared cut his credit card in half. Alex still has the pieces and still uses the card. Shortly after Jensen and Misha met, they went to dinner to get to know each other better. It was a fancier restaurant, and when the waiter asked what they wanted to eat, Misha took both the menus and said "We'll take the three least ordered items on the menu." The restaurant served snails. They got snails. Jensen especially stocks his house with food when he knows Jared is coming over, and once, when he was drunk, Jared ate an entire raw pack of ribs from his fridge. Jensen thought it was hilarious. When they were in Amsterdam for a con one year, they and their wives were taking a train, and they were in charge of getting all the bags on the train. They forgot a bag and left it on the platform and the train doors shut, so the boys panicked and tried to open the doors, which didn't work, so Jared hit a big red button on the side of the door, which ended up shutting down the entire railway system across most of Europe for a little while. Rob Benedict and Danneel did a movie together once in which they had a scene where they kissed. Rob is still terrified that Jensen will beat the crap out of him for it one day. Misha is eight years older than Jensen and Jared. Jensen is now the same age Jeffery Dean Morgan was when they started Supernatural, and Alexander Calvert is the same age Jensen Ackles was when they started. The only reason they drive a Chevy Impala int he show is because Eric Kripke's neighbor said that you could fit a body in the trunk, a fact the show proved by shoving Mark Sheppard in the trunk. If you've read this far congratulations, have a slice of pie. Um...
