This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He'd have to be a big horse, and a big enough horse for Sam to ride comfortably.

Oh, the inappropriate things I didn't type. Sam's not going to ride him. He's going to be attacked by him. He's also a unicorn.

Did I mention crack?

But if we're to say a "big" horse, where would his shoulder reach on Sam?

I don't even know why I know that.

Either too many or too few kinks.

Because books.

Plei would know the answer there, ita. I'm picturing their shoulders being roughly the same height, but that can't be right, can it?

Maybe I'm not wrong! Can you see this picture?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

ita, if we're talking draft horse, it would be 6 foot or more at the shoulder. Big riding horse (if we're talking English and not Western style) could easily hit be between 5'6" and 6".

Amy, excellent guessing on the story!

Absolutely no lead on the type of horse, and I don't think she will care. So I could put them shoulder to shoulder, basically, and not be off base? This is going to be fun to frame, since I need all of Sam in there. I think.

Yup! Easily. And I think that will look quite nice, composition-wise.

For reference, see if you can find any pictures of Ian Millar standing next to Big Ben. Ben was 17.3, which translates to 5'11' at the withers. Ian is 6'1".

I'm seeing some people crow that D/Cers are busted now because Dean said Cas was like a brother to him.

I only wish other shows I've watched had busted my hopes the way this one has. The last time I was this satisfied by how a pairing I rooted for was treated in canon was Aeryn Sun and John Crichton.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Yeah, the "brother" comment just cemented how deeply Dean feels for Cas, about Cas. It's deep, it's intense, it's an honour. Dean would die for Cas. Even viewed platonically, canonically, that's . . . intense.
