I’m rather behind on the current story, due to a combination of “life is busy and a bit exhausting” and “reading scary stories in chunks is easier if I can choose where the chunks end and don’t have to stop at a cliffhanger, so I’m erring on the side of caution and waiting til there’s a bunch of chapters up to read,” but I wanted to pop in and tell you that it’s really well written and full of all the emotions. And wee Jacob in the excerpts is just so cute sometimes.

Sounds like you have a lot of fun coming once you get the chance to read the horror story! We can’t wait to hear what you think. 

Wee Jacob is definitely one of the sweetest lil guys around. Everyone just wants to eat ‘em right up.

What would have happened if, instead of Dean, John Winchester had found little Sam?

If we’re talking about when they were kids, he would have handed the tiny Sam over to Dean because he was too busy keeping them alive, and Dean would have still ended up as the one that watched over Sam until he woke up.

If we’re talking about when they’re older, probably some vase time, some grilling. But since it is Sam’s dad, and John changed less over the years compared to Dean, it’s likely Sam would have recognized him right off the bat. Cue some arguing and both snapping at each other until John realizes it really is Sam.

Unlike John, Dean wouldn’t be ignoring any phone calls from John about finding Sam again. He’d be there in a heartbeat, suspicious and hopeful at his core.

Can we have more Bobby and his ‘neighbors’? Like him getting seeds that they take care of, its not helping if he just gives them the resources for their own food…

Maybe!

He certainly does his best to not interfere with their lives out in the field (and now in his house, at least in Brothers Apart). Part of that is he’s more lax about locking up possibly useful supplies or clearing all the food. Rumsfeld always keeps a sharp lookout for any actual threats, human or animal. All they really need to worry about is other hunters that work with Bobby prowling around when he’s not looking.

What about when Sam was shrunk, started being cared for by Walt and Mallory, Dean comes back to the motel and finds a shrunken Sam along with the Watches. He decides early on that he would thank them for taking care of his younger brother while he was away, and finds out about Bree, manages to find other operations along the way and save them. Also Bobby gets involved as a sort of ‘safe haven’

Sounds like fun! Younger Dean, totally upsetting the delicate balance at the motel like he’s so good at. He would have to work hard to charm the crew enough for trust, but Sam certainly would love to have him around. Bobby’s home is always open to refugees, and smol ones like the borrowers aren’t even a strain on his resources.

Wait how can Jacob lift 40x his body weight when he is only around 1/20 th of his original weight/height? Please check my math but wouldn’t this mean he would be able to lift a human easily?

Actually, only his height is a 20th of his original size. Thanks to the square-cube law, his weight is much, much less. 

@torchmlp was nice enough to do the math out for us, and they were curious about cursed Jacob’s strength compared to his weight, so they did the formulas out.

We know now that Jacob weighs about as much as three crayons, and 40x his weight is equal to the vase he was lifting. Dean, of course, can lift this vase in one hand and trap Jacob in a fist without the kid’s knack doing him a bit of good. 

If we took cursed Sam, cursed Dean and cursed Jacob, the difference in their strength would be that together, Sam and Dean at a regular height would be able to pick up the Impala and walk away with it, while Jacob by himself could do the same with even less effort. Just one kid. Walking away with that car (put it back!).

How many sprites (lets say the knights) would be necessary to win against the brothers in a tug of war? With and without use of wings allowed? Or just one?? (no point in mentioning Jacob, they’d probably need the whole village just to challenge his hand)

Well, lets see.

If smol Jacob can lift about 40x his weight, I’d say a regular borrower averages 10 to 15x. The brothers, being determined to keep physically fit, are likely around the 12 to 13x range. Once they get better nutrition, they’ll easily hit around 17 or 18x their weight in strength, if not more.

Really, the questions is: how long does it take the sprites to realize they should just start flying and lift the brothers off the ground so they can’t get any traction?

With wings, they’d just go with that route. Lift up the brothers while Jacob watches, unable to hide his snickering (Dean will get revenge on him, somehow). At least they’re good at dangling from a rope.

If they weren’t allowed to use wings except maybe to balance themselves, it probably wouldn’t take much for the brothers to knock several knights over, one by one. Sprites aren’t nearly as strong as one of the brothers. Poor guys would dig their heels in the best they could though. Then maybe have a few sparring matches with pine needle swords to make up for it.

(thanks to @torchmlp for the reference of smol Jacob’s strength)
