Just no.

Read a comment on Tumblr today from someone who had just discovered the Jensen Ackles/Jeffrey Dean Morgan pairing and who was wondering what the name for that ship was. /o\ Don't tell me there is one. I hate those cutesy combo names that make the people in a relationship sound like some freaky hybrid.

The name for that pairing is Jeff/Jensen. Or Jensen/JDM. Or just plain "guh!" But please, no cutesy crap. Just NO.

Several people have explained to me that the reason for the stupid-sounding combo names is because Tumblr doesn't allow for slashes. Meh, just one more reason for me to avoid that place.

. . . and if you ever find out the "cutesy" name for Jensen/JDM? DO NOT TELL ME! ;)

I prefer JDM for Jeff, mainly because I got into this fandom through college fics in which often Jared's brother played the part of Jensen's roommate or best bud. To avoid confusion I will always use JDM or Jeffrey Dean Morgan in full:)

I thought the combo-names were already floating around on LJ and other fan hangouts before Tumblr got popular, but either way that's a stupid reason for silly names. *huffs*

See, I didn't know about the "brother!Jeff" business, but I tend to call him JDM anyway. ;D
