There is Blood on the Streets of Jensenville

[krickets]

I haven't really been paying that much attention to "Situation JubJub," if you will, and I am well aware that I am late to the game. I also know I'm mostly quiet on the fandom front, but I have brains in my head (and feet in my shoes!) and here's a small observation/analysis of the reason everybody is going batshit!crazy.

It's about hero worship. The people arguing? Are in a civil war. (Deep, I know!) There is blood on the streets of Jensenville, ladies and gentlemen. Observe, the factions:

Camp A: These rambunctious folks follow the mindset that they love Jensen, despite his (real or perceived) faults. In fact they think his faults are pretty adorable. Look! Look at his faults! Aren't they stinkin' cute?

Camp B: These lovely citizens also love Jensen, but they do not acknowledge that Jensen has any faults. Look how completely faultless he is! Look! I mean, check the freckles! The hair! The laugh! Oh! Isn't he perfect?

Clearly, Camp A and Camp B both love Jensen to itty bitty Jensen-shaped bits, they simply disagree on how they should love him. Camp B wishes Camp A would just shut the frak up about these so-called faults, because it ruins the illusion of perfection. And Camp A is totally annoyed that Camp B finds anything wrong with breaking the illusion, and loving him despite the fact that he is, in fact, a real person.

I propose a reconciliation of these opposing factions. And I have, thus, re-written Tim Minchin's Peace Anthem for Palestine, in spirit of fandom love.

Peace Anthem for Jensenville

We love Jen-sen.
You love Jen-sen.
It seems it's been that way forever!
So if you love Jen-sen...
And we love Jen-sen...
Why not love Jensen together?

Footnote: I make no assertions or assumptions about whether or not Jensen is actually chubby, or has 762 freckles, or bites the heads off baby chickens in his spare time. Besides, I don't think it's really all that important... well, maybe the chicken thing...

ETA: We mustn't forget Camp C. Innocent bystanders.

You know, my mum has about that many freckles, so it'd be cool XD

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha I just pulled that number out of nowhere! LOL. What a coincidence!

[workswithwords.livejournal.com]

I love you. That is all.

I heartily agree with you.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Have I told you that I love that icon? Cause I do. And thank you!

[workswithwords.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I got it from the website www.lackcolor.com

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

I am Camp C - the fallen mediator. The one who got pissed off at the Camp D, those who point and laugh at his 'faults'.

...LMFAO

[crickets.livejournal.com]

But isn't it mostly good-natured, my non-tea-drinking friend. I haven't seen anyone pointing and laughing in a nasty way...

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. But still... some people you just can't tell. And that's when mah claws come oot *lol*

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Down, Kitty. Or is that, Chief Kitty?

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Chief Kitty... but Ms. Kitty to you ^_^

[angelikitten]

Long live Camp C!

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

^_^ Glad to know someone agrees *takes a bow*

[quiet-rebel.livejournal.com]

You rock. End of story.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I love stories that end that way!

[gigglemonster.livejournal.com]

Ummm where was Callum's appearance in this post.
Tsk tsk.

On a more serious note.
You're amazing and I completely agree that all that matters is that we love Jensen!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

He's in your dreams, that's where. Why are you not on MSN? LOL.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Great Scott! That's what people are arguing about these days??? O_O

*iz scareded* Hold me?

Seriously? People have nothing better to do than argue about the WAY they fangirl Jensen? O_O Brain...hurts... Need... coffee... (and maybe some tranquilizer darts for the worst of the bat(bleep)crazies? ;) )

"Hey, Bat(bleep)crazies! Nap time!" *thwup, thwup, thwup* Annnnnnnnd everybody goes beddie-bye until they're ready to get up and play like nice fangirls. Or fanboys, should that be the case. Fanpeoples? Fanpersons? Wha'ever... ;) *goes looking for coffee and a cookie* ♥!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha I love you Ais. And based on my observations, yep. People are up in arms. Arms! Wacky!

I like Fanpersons. LOL. (Or just fen.)

[halfdutch.livejournal.com]

OMG, this is the funniest post I will read all day! :) *snorfle*

I'm always blissfully unaware of SPN fandom wank!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Bliss is right!

Glad to make you laugh! Haha.

[bachlava.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the discussion at fandom_wank (the journalfen community)? They are having a wonderful time with this one. (Full disclosure: some people detest f_w, which I can understand.)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I haven't, but I'm sure it's rousing! I have heard about it, which is part of where this post stems from. I just can't believe that people have been wanking on this for weeks. *shakes head*

[mysticxf.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm not in the fandom, but I know bits about this Jubjub thing. Seems like Camp B should STFU because while Camp A is a little silly, there are WAY worse ways they could be silly and this is almost adorable and in freaking out about Camp A, Camp B makes themselves out to be the true bat shit crazies.

This kind of reminds me of Animaniacs. How Yakko, Wakko and Dot drove the Doctor guy INSANE by doing just silly little things.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Word.

*sigh*

I love the animaniacs.

[isis2015.livejournal.com]

You know, I kind of feel like everything you just said up there should be a big, fat, duh. It's not important. But people don't seem to get that. Live and let live. Is it really that hard? Personally, I don't really understand it, but I'm not getting my ass in a sling over it either. Goodness.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I don't get it either. Live and let live, exactly.

And your icon is PERFECT. Hahahaha.

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

I think he's built like a man should be built, I never realized that a chuzzle could cause so much talk..or in some cases, some serious wank, I'm not involved, but I've read some of what my flist has posted..it's amazing.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked as well. I heard about it first a couple weeks ago and I thought the clamor would have died down by now. Ah, well. We must not be expecting miracles. This is fandom we're talking about.

[iamnotkris.livejournal.com]

GLORY HALLELUJAH.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

LMAO.

[theladyscribe]

You're wrong. Everyone knows Jensen has 219479 freckles. *nods seriously*

And wow, is this really what the most recent wank has been about? Because honestly, that's just ridiculous.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Oh, geez sorry. I miscounted. Shoot me.

And, yeah. I have a hard time believing it too.

[amantium-irae.livejournal.com]

Is there a Camp D? The one that can't watch Supernatural cause it's just not into it and finds Jensen's acting... distracting, but by and large doesn't care and wishes people would just enjoy what they enjoy and not bring out The Crazy so often???

No? Damn.

Yo, fandom! Why you so crazy!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha well yes, but those people don't live in Jensenville. They may live very near it, and have friends who live there, and maybe it's even covered on their local news station, they might even read the Jensenville Gazette, but they're out-of-towners none-the-less.

No bloodshed for you!

[turquoisetumult.livejournal.com]

:D

KC, that is a brilliant head on top of your shoulders! :)

Also, he may eat puppies for breakfast because he's an ornery bitch! (Sorry, I just really miss Mason and DLM. Had to be said)!

Yay for Camp C! Camp C rules (because I belong to it... Hehe).

I love that Tim Minchin's plan for world peace. Dude, it might work. I say to everyone in the Middle East to at least give it a try!!

*hugs*

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I know right! Tim Minchin for the win!

[ultraviolet9a.livejournal.com]

HEEEEEH! *glee* I belong to Camp C, and have missed out on everything that's going down, but boy do I love your lyrics ability.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

It'll be a hit!

:D
