Im Taking A College Course On Body Language And According To Everything Ive Learned, Jensen And Misha

I’m taking a college course on body language and according to everything I’ve learned, Jensen and Misha are in love.

Cockles and UST (Part Two)

So I have a theory that Misha was crushing on Jensen first or at least more strongly than was Jensen in the beginning. At any rate, Misha’s crush is something that I noticed was written larger earlier on. 

Firstly, let’s establish that Misha finds Jen very attractive. Misha makes a lot of references to Jensen’s good looks, comparing himself in his typical self-deprecating way.

At Jibcon 3  Misha talks about recasting himself as Dean saying “we look exactly alike, no one in the audience would be able to tell’.

In 2011  he talks to MTV about how they’ve seen each other naked and Jensen would love to have his (Misha’s) body.

Of course it’s tongue-in-cheek but I think it reveals a lot about how Misha really feels, many a true word is said in jest.

Then at Chicon 2010 we get this moment, where a fan tells Jensen he’s ‘very attractive’ and Misha says sincerely “No shit, tell us something we don’t know!”

It’s obvious that Misha finds Jensen very attractive which is hardly a leap away from being attracted to Jensen.

Later, during that same panel, a fan asks a question while wearing an ‘I’d go straight for Misha Collins’ tee-shirt. Jared asks if she’s had her eyes checked and another woman (presumably a friend of hers) admits that the woman is legally blind. MIsha storms off the stage in mock disgust, but I think there was some real emotion there, and I think that he felt embarrassed in front of Jensen - note the look Misha throws him when he returns to the stage:

Now to the UST. In Part One I made the observation that these two behave like boys on the playground, (well maybe more like boys on the playground who are feeling a lot of mutual attraction).

So at Vancon 2009, a fan asks Misha a question about an article in which Jensen talks how he was a little freaked out by Misha at first, because of the way he played Castiel.  Misha responds that his first impression of Jensen was of a ‘stand-offish stuck-up prick’. Yes, Misha uses sarcasm and dry humour all the time, but this was a little intense. He then goes on to talk about how silly it is to make assumptions about an actor based on the character he plays. 

I have little doubt that if it were someone else who had made this comment, Misha would not have felt such indignation.

The feeling was apparently mutual because the very next day Jensen calls Misha a ‘whore’, completely dead-panning, and even Jared seems a little startled. Again, dry humour, little intense.

In August 2010 at Vancon, someone tells Misha about the ‘whore’ comment and Misha seems genuinely distressed, although he plays it for laughs. In October at Asylum 5 someone asks if Misha prefers Jensen or Jared and Misha responds ‘Jared’.

Now to the Heaven in Hell con with Misha and Alona Tal and what I consider to be the most pivotal early cockles moment and also the moment that speaks to Misha’s crush from the beginning. Bear in mind this con takes place the month after Jensen marries Danneel.

Here’s what happened. A fan asks a question of Alona in French and the only recognizable English word in that sentence is ‘Jensen’, so Misha jokes (before the translator can do her work) that the question was ‘What’s the texture of Jensen’s tongue?”

Apart from speaking to Misha’s preoccupation with Jensen and his mouth (Freudian much), it turns out that he’s pretty close because the fan had asked if Jensen was a good kisser. 

Then Alona leans away from the mircophone and in towards Misha and asks lowly “Have you kissed Jensen?” Now first of all, what prompted her to ask this question? This is not the kind of question you ask out of nowhere. And I don’t get the sense that she’s asking in a Jaredesque ha ha jokey kind of way either, she’s smiling, but I sense some earnestness.

Now this may have come from something as simple as a conversation between the two but somewhere along the line Misha must have expressed how attractive he finds Jensen or something along those lines, right? It’s the only way that question makes any sense.

The interpretation could be made that they had kissed, but I interpret this rather as evidence of Misha’s crush.

But the other really interesting thing is Misha’s reaction. Everyone I’ve ever seen comment on this hears Misha says “Um”; but I hear “Um, no” which is even more interesting in a totally knee-jerky panicky kind of response from Misha. 

And Misha is in fact, utterly mortified, he shakes his head, sprays the Evian water at Alona and appears to be uncharacteristically annoyed and flustered. Where is Misha’s quick wit here? Why is he so bothered when we all know that Misha isn’t exactly a shrinking violet when it comes to sex talk and entendre.

If you haven’t watched this, here’s a link X. It is absolutely required viewing for a cockles fan.

Finally, this adorable moment at San Diego Comicon 2010. Jensen makes a beeline for Misha but kisses Jim first (real subtle Jen). I see yet another example of how Jensen ruffles Misha’s feathers like no other (pun intended).

Misha’s never been bashful about kissing and hugging cast mates, but compare Jim and Misha in this gif Jim’s all relaxed but Misha looks decidedly tense about Jensen’s impending kiss. Could it be sexual tension? 

This post is so long, I’m going to do part 3 with more focus on Jensen, Jen/Mish.

i love ships where one actor is like “they sure care for each other a lot and their relationship is nuanced and open to interpretation” and the other actor is like “THEY FUCK AND THEYRE MARRIED” 

Messing with Misha on set. [x]

I just saw your Mishaleck comment. I kinda wonder at times why Jared likes to mess with Misha's balls and slap his @ss. Like he's so touchy with him (I know with others too but its seems different). But with Jensen I feel something stronger about him and Misha like there's this sexual tension or like Jensen sometimes holds back. Like Jen is so touchy with other cast/friends but with Misha its different. But I guess everyone just wants a piece of Misha. ;)

Yeah see, here’s the thing, right?  Jared is touchy-feely.  He hugs people.  He picks them up and shakes them (poor Mark) he messes with them on set —both Jim and Osric have said that he messes with their feet/legs.  Misha is the only one with balls and ass stories.

I think Jared was a 0 on the Kinsey scale until he met Misha.  Now he’s a big ‘ol bicurious 1.  Ha ha.

Sexual tension between Jensen and Misha?  What?  No way.  You’re crazy.

Well, maybe you’re right.  At one point it probably was sexual tension.  Now it’s just sexual anticipation.

I think Jensen is reluctant to touch Misha (especially at American cons) because he knows it’s not innocent.  He doesn’t think twice about touching anybody else because so what?  Nothing is going on between them.  If he touches Misha—then everybody will know!  Poor thing doesn’t realize that by not touching Misha like he does the others he’s singling him out as being different.  But then, when he does give in and things get physical—it escalates quickly.

And you’re not wrong.  I think people are naturally drawn to Misha’s magnetism.  When there are group panels, often the others will glance at the speaker or whisper to each other.  Check out this Comic Con 13 picture:

Focus!

Run, Misha, Run(x) (x)
