i have been listening to fayjay's incredible recording of
restraint, by
darkemeralds, and this morning in particular was wondering at the jared-chad dynamic in fandom. i am amazed at how steadfast it is in pretty much all rpf; practically a requirement, insofar as to be so compellingly altered and fashioned in a historical au that seriously makes

ETA: It has only just occured to me that not only does Jared date his co-stars (Sandy, Gen) but he LIVES with his co-stars too (Chad, Jensen).

And hide his little face, too.
Literally everything I know about Chad Michael Murray I learned from fandom and fanfiction, so this is awesome to see. I guess I have in my brain that Jared comes from sort of a conservative background (as is so common in this part of the country, and with his mom being a teacher and all, like my mom was) and that Chad is the guy that brings him out of that sort of boring, polite thing that we Southerners have, and makes him say the outrageous stuff that's floating around in his head, you know? Or maybe that's just me projecting myself on him, because I tend to keep my mouth shut a lot but I had this friend in high school who would say anything and she sort of brought that out and made things so much more fun, you know? Like, to this day, I can't think about peanut butter without hearing her (in my mind) calling it "penis butter"...

and YES, while you put yourself into jared, i put myself into chad; where, when i become very close to people, and friends elevate to the "best" status, my love for them is so great that i don't feel comfortable expressing it in that way. instead it comes out as playfully mean - "eat shit, no one likes you," or the more outlandish and unrealistic, "spoon me, do me, sit on my lap" etc. all of it's geared as a joke, but the sentiment is clear: i love you, man.
AND THAT IS WHY I WILL FOREVER LOVE CHAD.
jared & chad = you & me, aw!

p.s. SPEAKING of The Chad, did you see that he's in a NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIE? That's right. Christmas Cupid with Christina Milan. Oh sub-par ABC Family TV movies- it really is Christmas! <3
