Having recently watched a random DOOL-era interview with twink!Jensen, I don't know what the big deal is. He was a charming young adult, he's a charming adult. He may be more composed and charming now, but that's hardly surprising. Cons are a clusterfuck. Growing more comfortable with them over time...well, that makes sense. But he wasn't lacking in charm when he came on the scene.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know about Jensen in particular, but charisma is learnable, or so my textbooks insisted. There are behaviors you can practice that will make you more charismatic, is the general idea.
I found the idea disturbing so it stuck in my head.

Because books.
I think he's simply that much older and more comfortable with this gig (and the fandom attached). He found a great friend, he fell in love and got married -- he's not a kid anymore. I don't think it's any more complicated than that, really.
I'm glad he figured out how to have fun with it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I keep thinking that when you level up you can choose to increase your charisma but then I remember this isn't the gaming thread.
The dogs got to me too. And I love dogs. I'm rarely scared of them, even some times when maybe I should be. So seeing the fear in My Hero's eyes makes my heart hurt .

I am disproportionately irritated by art like this. Sentiment aside, how is that Gabriel? How is that his face? Height? Hair colour? What about that makes him Gabriel other than what you wrote?

Not that that other guy looks much like Cas.

But he passably looks like art fanon Cas, and is wearing something remotely resembling a beige trenchcoat.
Gabriel? Some tall, dark brown-haired blue-eyed guy? Richard Speight what?

It looks like Sam, not Gabriel.

Much more plausible. Not *good*, but plausible.
I hate when art doesn't do the height thing right. It's so much easier than the rest, in situations like that. I'm still bitching about euclase's otherwise brilliant Sam/Gabe. Too close!
And then the people with the size kink go in the opposite direction, and Gabe is like 5'5. Ah, well..
Artmetica has drawn again. D/C in the style of Phantom of the Opera. Sweet emotive piece, but not one of my favourites of hers. I'm still riding the high of her last stuff.
OMG, there was a dirty filthy RPS piece (I tend to look at all the art, even if the topic skeeves me, it seems. Just as long as there are no kids, scat, waterplay, or more edgy stuff) I need to link to (eta: by dephigravity) J2, playing with a toy. Man, she got the push and pull in that down well.
Daggomus prime has crossed to the dark side and done Wincest. Not linking because it wasn't that good. Practice, practice.
Petite madame has crossed to the other dark side and done more D/C. Not linking because it wasn't that good. Certainly not as good as her first one--fuck, her first two were smoking.

Aw, the Phantom one is sweet. Cas looks great there.
And the other is ... mrph.

I've never even seen anything like that mentioned! Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, which is FINE with me. I think the most shocking, for me, have been manips, and some of them are completely the MY EYES MY EYES kind of thing.
