Of Hunters and Hedgehogs ...

Spoilery season 9 musings under the cut ...



Okay, so I've been watching season 9, and I'm loving it so far, just the right blend of angst and absurdity to satisfy my perverted inquisitive mind.  I'm loving our show as much as ever at the moment; in fact, there's only one thing about season 9 that is currently troubling me ...

... What's with the full-on 'hedgehog's arse' that Dean's sporting at the moment?

Hedgehog
Dean

I get it, I do.  Everything's gone to crap.  Dean's angst-ridden, grieving and otherwise occupied; perhaps he hasn't had time to shave?  I mean, vanity isn't high on the agenda when you're buckling under the weight of all-consuming guilt and self-loathing, but in all the crappy times he's been through before - losing his dad, losing Sam, losing Bobby, killing Benny, facing hell - even through a whole year in purgatory he managed to take a razor to his chops, so what the heck's going on?

Lets be brutally honest here; Dean could paint his face catsick yellow and wear a binbag and I'd still fancy him, and although I've always loved him most when he's clean shaven, I know he has always favoured a little bit of stubble.   A little bit of stubble is great; on him, it's devilishly attractive - a faint trace of roughness on that perfect face, giving it a harder edge (after all, when you're a badass monster hunter, you need something to balance off those pouty lips, emerald eyes and obscene eyelashes), but we've gone way beyond that with this pelt that he seems to have sprouted recently ... I wouldn't know whether to kiss it or make a pair of gloves out of it.

So come on Dean, play nice.  For me.  Get rid.  When nature blesses you with a face like yours why cover it up? Hedgehogs belong in fields not on your face.

I don't ask for much; if I can't have gratuitous nudity, give me, at least, a naked chin.

Until then, allow me to indulge myself  in a  few shots of Dean, sans hedgehog, exactly as I like him ...









No hedgehogs were harmed in the writing of this drivel ...

I actually like him with the so-named "hedgehog's arse". -ducks from the criticism- I always enjoyed Dean's face, and it just does something to me to see him with that full beard. But that may just be me. ^^'

THIS!!!! YES!!!!!! SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS ME AND THE PAIN CAUSED BY LACK OF DEAN SMOOTHNESS!!!!

Maybe it's just me then; I'm not a fan of facial hair, especially full beards. I think they put ten years on a man and don't like them at all - on anyone, not even Dean/Jensen.

My poor, long-suffering husband has been warned that if he ever grows a beard I'll cite it as grounds for divorce!!

[blackrabbit42.livejournal.com]

ALSO!!!! THAT IS NOT THE SORT OF BEARD/STUBBLE YOU GET FROM NOT HAVING TIME/EMOTIONAL ENERGY TO SHAVE. THAT SHIT IS A CAREFULLY MANICURED LAWN. IT TAKES TIME, EFFORT AND KNOW -HOW.

ALL CAPS CANNOT ADEQUATELY EXPRESS MY PAIN. NEXT POST TO BE ALL CAPS, BOLDED AND UNDERLINED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I don't like facial hair at all. I mean, why?
When you have a beautiful face like Jensen's, why would you want to cover it up?

Just, no!!!!!!

Cap away, your support in my anti-beard crusade is much appreciated :)

DAMN STRAIGHT.

LOL! So much lol, but I happen to like the beard so...

This however, No hedgehogs were harmed in the writing of this drivel ... made me chuckle like a loon, at work, in front of colleagues, with no reasonable explanation ;)

See, I love the extra stubble/beard on him :P. I was just saying last week how I thought Jensen was looking hotter as himself (as per the CCA awards photos) than as Dean... and then he turned up in First Born with the facial hair, looking totally gorgeous and I had to re-evalute my statement, lol.

And this week, Dean's face (complete with the facial hair) was about the only good thing about the new episode.

Saying that though, this is a very good point:

Ah well, it seems that I'm in a minority here!!!

Although Jensen is a damn fine looking man, I've always liked his Dean persona best because he has always been clean-shaven whereas Jensen always seems to favour a beard of some description, or he certainly has in recent years anyway. I guess I'm just not a beard fan!!!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

My husband's got a fairly epic beard, so I have a type, lol!

[fiery-fox2.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, your husband had better watch out! Lol

Generally, I am not a fan of beards. I don't mind a little stubble, which is what we normally see on Dean. But, this newest scruff - I do find it to be extremely hot. It seems a little more sculpted than just the normal beard/scruff, and given the desperate emotional state that Dean is is right now, I think it really fits him well. For now.

Most of the time I do prefer a cleaner shaven Dean, but I can live with this at the moment.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, his chin is a bristle-free zone!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yes, I can live with it for the moment, but I really hope he goes back to being beardless Dean.

Given that Jensen seems to favour beards nowadays, watching him as Dean used to be the only opportunity I had to see Jensen clean-shaven.

*sigh*

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

Jensen really has been favoring beards more, especially during the hiatus. And longer hair too. I'm with you, I do much prefer him to be clean-shaven. When I saw pictures of him before filming began last July, I really didn't like it how much he had grown out his beard and hair. He was covering up that pretty face of his, and I don't like that. :)
