Humanity “every single holiday is about eating or abstaining from food”

“The vast majority of socialising occurs around the prep and consumption of food”

“Organized society evolved around agriculture”

“Different cultures have different rules when it comes to eating food. Violating these rules could mean anything from being stared at to getting publicly executed”

“Politics are often discussed around food. Food diplomacy is based entirely on how good the food is”

“It’s rude to eat these with those utensils. It’s rude to use utensils altogether for this meal. It’s rude to eat these with your hands”

“There are chemical compounds that are extremely poisonous that humans consume for fun. Some of them physically burn you”

“Televised eating competitions”

It would’ve been crazy once Rocky returned and was all “yeah we saved the world and evaded death and oh boy do I have some news for you”

Ryland spent the four years stuck on that tin can writing shit out for Adrian because what the hell else was he gonna do? Food is basically the pillar of human society he’d have a field day. Adrian is gonna be writing his damn thesis for years

Others are actually young witch babies.

Since witches have no womb and are a byproduct of wild magic, whenever a witch wishes for a child they might one day find a young animal lingering around the house, much like receiving a familiar. An easy way to tell the difference between a youngling and a familiar, however, is that once bonded a familiar will soon begin speaking thereafter. Younglings will not develop speech until much later in their development.

The 2 year mark is when familiar and youngling dimorphism begins. While familiars will simply grow into an adult animal, younglings will enter into a “troll” stage, in which they will develop traits that separate them from ordinary creatures but do not yet resemble a human. It is towards the end of this stage that they will begin saying words, and simple sentences. Minor jinx magic is to be expected.

The “troll” stage will last for ~5 years, and the next stage can happen anytime within the next 3-6 following years. They will encounter a sudden “growth spurt,” where they will suddenly come into distinctly human shapes, while still retaining vestigial traits from their troll years. This transformation can happen overnight, or take over a year to complete. They can begin practicing simple spell magic at this point.

While some claim that the animal a youngling starts off as influences how they look as an adult, that’s largely been debunked. Witch children actually tend to generally resemble their parent(s).

Because names are of great importance to witches, some traditional households will follow the custom of waiting for the youngling to arrive at speaking age to let them choose their own name. Until then, often they refer to the child as their animal: Kitty, Crow, Frog etc.
