hell beast

Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.

It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?

ok I get what you're saying about the trope in general, but, notably, the Moses story is actually one that explicitly addresses this:

do you remember him?

jacque teasing ebenezer, his favorite pastime

(I'm still sitting on so many because I can't get images of the exact scenes they correlate with, sob)

Him <3

Much as I love some of my other babies, when it comes to comfort, I always go back to Douxie when I'm feeling down

my comfort character is my son boi, much the same as you. my sweet little ball of sunshine, my cinnamon roll. <3 <3

Son boi I love him. *[proceeds to angst him to the highest degree]*

How can you not love him? My kiddo deserves some happiness, and rest.

Strickler is a sad avocado, but he's definitely my comfort character, even if I like to torture him a little in my fics, I do love him!

No, I don't want to know what that says about me.

had him for a couple years, but pre-dating him was another oc of mine hahaha!
