I've seen it a lot. It seems to be the extrapolation Matt explains, but that makes absolutely no sense at all. They are separate phobias, and it's perfectly easy to have one and not another. It's one of my most disliked fan canons, because it does actually play out in ways I think are unDeanish. Assuming he dislikes Sam's hair is pretty harmless and doesn't change much.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

Because books.
That's so odd! I don't think I've ever seen that in fic.

I did a quick google and found a fic I'd never heard of:
"Yeah I guess that didn't help my fear of heights much." He chuckled trying to brighten the mood.
I have seen it at least as many times as I've seen people mention canonical phobias of his. Not sure why. Some sort of crowd-sourced characterisation, which I rarely find adds to the story or the character. Of course, it could be done well, but no one really is making anything of it.

Yeah, I have a bit of acrophobia myself (though is it really an irrational fear if you know you're clumsy on your feet and have fallen down a lot at ground level?), but plane travel only frightens me if it's in a 12-seater flying through stormclouds or it looks like I'm going to be trapped sitting next to a small child for several hours.

Tonight! Six hours from now (shut up, non West coasters)! My boys are back. My god, I'm going to cry myself to sleep every week when this show is over. I'm not remotely healthy about this.
