Always Keep Fighting Candle Salute SDCC 2015

[@a.c.2695]

Both Jensen and Misha look very concerned. They knew how much that meant to Jared and they kept an discreet eye on him❤️

[@nina-raedelong158]

Depression is scary if you have a friend or loved one who struggles with it. Jared mentioned having two (possibly 3?) friends who committed suicide as a result of depression. Depression is a killer and it's normal to be concerned that depression might be a reason a friend dies. I think Jared's depression is a lot more serious than he let on, because he physically couldn't get up when he was on set while filming season 3, he cried uncontrollably on a park bench, had a meltdown and had to skip comicon once to rest, and compared himself to Sam Winchester in the season 8 finale where he mentioned having "a complex about letting people down". The latter is a very serious comparison, because Sam wanted to die. Jensen's reactions in these speeches makes me wonder if Jared has struggled with suicidal thoughts or attempts.

[@hilarybenoit2926]

They definetly were. Everyone was keeping a close eye on him.

[@elisabethr.6516]

THANK for this fabulous #AKF JARED you deserve much happiness.For #AKF you save many Fans SPN and never remember this wonderful candle light for JARED JENSEN and many other people.In my life is so important and FOREVER in memories . Grateful ❤️ JARED 👍🤘👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nikitagreen4210]

I was at that comic con and was one of the people saluting and I almost cried at Jared reaction

[@Dragonflylane77]

Almost? How did you keep from crying? Bite the inside of your cheek? How much of the audience was crying?

[@udasan]

I know this is/was supposed to be about Jared, but I couldn't help myself from being drawn to Jensen's expression the whole time, even when I first watched this moment on that day or now watching it in slow mo here, while aware of Jared's obvious reaction. I mean...Jensen was totally aware of what's happening even before he asked, "what's going on in here?" but being Jensen, he's always playing coy or clueless or trying to be bland about it and not showing his emotion too much. But from the look of his strained smile and most of the time looking sad and how he tried not to look at Jared but super aware of Jared's reactions and feelings, I really feel for him. Of course Jared already pulled strings at my heart, but watching Jensen trying to hold it really makes me teary. Bless them and Misha and Mark too. :')

[@yuusuga]

i watched the panel on youtube, after the fact. you never got to see much of the crowd. but here, you get to see how it looked like and it's just so amazing. Jared's reaction once he read the note......i mean, tears. this fandom is by far the best in this galaxy, seriously. so glad to be part of it.

[@kyahrose5261]

yuusuga Yes! Jared's reaction in this video seriously made me cry so hard! Check out the book Family Dont End With Blood. Jared wrote a chapter in there, pouring his heart out, and about the events leading up to this and after...and what this meant to him.

[@meteor7890]

[@sarahsmiles9127]

I started to realize while watching this that we always need to support those with depression and not keep them in the dark until it is too late. So I think whenever I see this video I will think of my best friend who has depression because she introduced me to Supernatural.

[@heidibaltom8138]

sorry i know its 4 years too late. The best thing you can do is just be there for them and listen to them without judgement which it sounds like you already do as you sound like a great person. I just know that helps for me to know someone is not judging me.

[@keairafowler1577]

2:41 Jensen and Misha with those scared looks on their faces😭😭❤️ Jared/Sam will always be the baby😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@eliseivanica]

i’m watching this after this horrible long week i’ve had with the news about jared and i’m crying. he is such a beautiful human being and doesn’t deserve all the hate he’s getting, the media is making him out to be a bad person when he’s one of the best out there.

[@mindfreak0525]

I love that Jensen is like what's happening & jared's reaction & Mark standing up. Ahhh I wish I was there

[@helloiamem]

I was fighting cancer when I was 19, I'd had to leave my job, couldn't look after my kids, was bed ridden, it was awful. I was in a really dark place. I'd had depression for years but being physically sick took too much of my energy. I was used to using all of my energy to keep me alive but in a much different way. I went to a bad place but I decided to go back and watch supernatural again in 2015, the year of this panel and the year I spent fighting the illness and I fell madly in love with the show, the actors, the fandom, all of it. Sounds weird to non supernatural freaks like myself but I formed a veyy deep attachment and connection to supernatural while I was sick and I'm actually brokenhearted that it has to end but it is time and the fandom will live on.. Anyway now I'm done babbligg I just wanted to say thank you to Jared padelecki for his help in bringing such a shitty thing som of us have to live with into the light. Thank you Jared. Thank you misha, thank you Jensen, thank you all so much. You guys helped get me through. Me and I'm certain thousands of others. I'll keep fighting Jared, you keep fighting too 💜

[@Dean_the_squirel]

Sorry to hear this hope everything works out for you

[@wolfgirlinfinity9412]

I like, keep looking at Jensen cause he looks so damn proud and I'm living for it tbh

[@LilLambofJesus]

Absolutely beautiful. Jared totally deserves this. I love how the cast and the fans support him. I've seen this (before today) and I'm in tears again. SPNFamily rocks!!!

[@edwardemuly16]

So I think it is really cool that she used the music piece "Rons Speech" from Deathly Hallows part 1 for the video. Thats the part of the movie where Ron is talking about the TINY BALL OF LIGHT that guided him. I just think it went really well with the whole theme of the candles and how they represent hope. Brought tears to my eyes :)

[@Canadiaceara]

Nothing beats the genuine emotions from the cast. Especially Jared, Jensen and Misha's. You can see the honest reaction on their faces. So moving.

[@1Rhettsgirl13]

This is a prime example of why our fandom is a real family. Supernatural Family Forever!

[@mynameissarah5117]

Depression's been a part of my life for a very long time, so I know how Jared feels. And Jared, buddy, we all love you so much!

[@KHWendy28]

That year was hard on him and it was so heartbreaking to read the story in the book of what he was going through that summer and too have the Fans just do this for him is the best ever SPNFAM FOR LIFE!

[@Z.h.S.B.]

Sorry for bothering can you please just tell me a little bit about what he said about this in his book bcz i can't get the book

[@pennyj7957]

​@Z.h.S.B. it's on audible for free to read family don't energy in blood that chapter from jared and robs was sad

[@jessicabejarano6065]

I needed to see this today. I struggle with mild depression & and anxiety and my girlfriend has it to. I’ve been reading misha’s book things I still can’t tell you and it’s been really helpful on the days where I don’t know how to help myself let alone her. It’s empowering for me to hear Jared speak out boldly about seeking help when you need it.

[@muziqpoet86]

I know I am late to this party but wow. This broke me. I love Jared so much. I suffer from Depression so him sharing his story made me love him even more.

[@seizetheday8402]

I'm not crying... I'm sobbing! Love you guys and the #SPNFamily!!!

[@Alice-sy8pw]

And that is the exact reason why I can't stop talking about supernatural. Because it is family and all care for each other. This scene is even more touching with the book, what jared was thinking of that all.. I am really crying. But its.. good..

[@julianolinsky780]

Jared with his campaign and y'all who are here for the people who are in need is the most AMAZING thing that I have ever witnessed. Humanity is not dead and I know that with people like this family it never will! Thanks #SPNFamily for being there when a lot of people (including me) need you! Always Keep Fighting

[@heidibaltom8138]

Been going through a tough time and this is so needed. Jared crying is shows just how much we mean to them. Jensen is as always keeping it together but also kind of looks just in awe and just stunned and Misha is nearly crying and Mark is unusually quiet. He like Jensen dont show their feelings they use humour but both of them look like they are trying to hold it together. Sorry for long messege but this just shows how much we all mean to each other. What the actors mean to us and what we mean to them and what us fans mean to eachother. Im so proud of this family and i hipe this love just goes on forever

[@katherineferrett6524]

The way Misha saw what was in that letter and had to look away and take a drink of water to compose himself. He was that close to breaking. I am convinced more than ever of their friendship after seeing that. Thank you for sharing.

[@heathermarie3672]

One thing I’ve noticed is that no matter what else is going on or what distracts the guys, they always make sure they eventually answer the question that the fan asked. I love that they want to make sure that everyone gets their answers. And they give amazingly detailed answers at that!

[@supernatural_loverwinchest2958]

I come back to this video all the time! It's so uplifting especially after reading Jareds chapter in "Family don't end in blood" and how much this meant to him

[@Panda72021]

Wow, I actually teared up while watching this. The message and song at the end is what got me, it was this campaign that inspired me to seek support from others when it came to my battle with depression and anxiety. Always Keep Fighting guys. #AKF

[@kyahrose5261]

Anna Meyers I stumbled into SPN, and this campaign at a wonderful time...when I was feeling my depression coming back and starting to go downhill again after almost a year. This campaign and family has given me strength to keep fighting even at times when all I wanted to do was let go. It has helped teach me that it's okay to open up about how I feel, that I can say I am struggling on bad days and instead of being looked at like, "Umm, okay?" "Or, just get over it." This family has wrapped me in their arms, and were there to listen. Opening up, and coming out about my depression, especially at times I am struggling with it is a source of anxiety for me, even going in for follow ups to see if medication needs to be adjusted. Its scary as hell to open up with anyone, but just seems a little easier talking to the spn family. #AKF This movement has so much meaning and will forever hold a place in my heart. For that, I thank Jared and this family every day.

[@leniki5242]

this is the reason Why i Love this fandom and Family so much ❤❤

Seraphim 2703 Omg, yes, indeed!! This video hits so much harder after reading Jared's chapter, hearing from him what he was battling and going through leading up to this...and going into the panel. This, this just really drove home the ultimate show of love, understanding, and forgiveness everyone in the family has for Jared and each other.

I seriously was trying not to bawl reading his chapter.

[@kimberlyclark9196]

One of the most amazing and heartfelt things that you will ever see at a convention

[@nicolelylewis]

I remember hearing about this and thinking how amazing that is and must have been for Jared. And now after reading his essay in the “Family Don’t End With Blood” book, I know now how much more amazing that must have been for him. What a perfect time for that to happen too...just amazing timing with that!! #AKF!

[@jessicaminer9935]

This was the reason why I started watching the show. I struggle with anxiety and depression but it was seeing this and the close relationship between Jared and Jensen that led me to the show. I’ve had it I think for ever, but it only came to a head after high school. My friends had all went off to school, I was still at home, but I needed to get a job, and get into college and start figuring stuff out for my self and I just got too overwhelmed. Summer for me is usually the happiest time and I spent the whole of it in my room sleeping. I dreaded life and change and felt alone and like my life wasn’t headed anywhere. My sister actually helped the most. She was and is my Jensen. She helped me through all of it and told me I wasn’t alone, that she had felt the same way. Fortunately, she said, I had her. So thank you Jared for this. You lit the first candle and I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for that. Love you!!

I know I'm several years late but I've seen this before but not had a chance to comment on it and I just stumbled upon it again figured now or never.I'm going through a pretty bad time right now and its things like this that keep me going. I don't have a very good representation of a family in my life and it's this fandom right here that shows me what a real family is; because that's exactly what we are, family. I know that the acts of these people weren't for me but I want everyone to know how much it means to be given a light in the darkness. Thank you all so much for doing this for Jared.
