It's funny cause those are usually two of my favourite traits in a character... and here, I find them in Jensen the actor/person as opposed to Dean the character; that just strikes me as funny *g*
Me as well! I'm still surprised sometimes at how much I love Dean, and that it was Dean I was drawn to so strongly from the beginning. Usually I go for characters more like Sam. But I think with Dean, it's a case of the character having the qualities that always appeal to me -- (intelligence, compassion, vulnerability, hidden depths), but they're beneath the surface and rarely glimpsed.
Dude, were we separated at birth or something?
We do seem to have really similar views on lots of fandom stuff. XD
Cause yes, that's something I regret, how writers often write Jensen as Dean
I don't think Jensen is a delicate flower or anything, naturally, but I don't imagine him being cocky and swaggering and dropping the f-bomb left and right. And I like to imagine that he still has some of that Southern Boy charm and good manners. That's how his quiet, laid back attitude comes across to me.
