Theories in my head.
Like two wings and four weggies?
Lol.
I want to say the foal got âlostâ and panicked and it ended with a shadow that could have been the mother or anything else. But itâs been so long I could be thinking of a totally different comic.
Mummah is tired. No-weggy-babbeh takes so much effort to keep alive. Her exhaustion buries the growing resentment for babbeh, so much she canât even feel it.
For now.
Spoilers: Thatâs a Stallion.
I interpret this as the mother understanding mortality, knowing full well her foal will never grow up fully because she wonât be there to take care of it.
So instead of wasting her time with it, unable to put it down sheâs simply going to leave it there.
Survival of the fittest at itâs finest. Understanding itâs nothing but a liability, and inevitable tragedy, itâs really the wisest choice.
Not putting much stock in the intelligence of a shitrat but even the most base creatures have instincts and shitrats seem to be pretty good at abandoning their foals to benefit their own wellbeing.
So.
Making the mummah callous would ruin absolutely everything good about the comic.
An animal abandoning its unfit baby for survival is nothing compared to the sorrow and heart-ache of a loving mother who knows full-well that her foal is never going to grow up big and strong. This is emotional torment at its finest - her each day harder than the last as she expends her energy on taking care of a crippled foal, knowing full she wonât be able to keep it up forever.
Didnât mean make her callous. Survival instincts donât necessarily remove the emotional charge of a situation, just the driving factor in understanding how a situation is gonna play out.
Like eating a foal so they can feed the others for example. But anyway yeah I agree lol.
Reminds me of how I wondered for years why there was a statue of a horse giving a blowjob in the middle of Helsinki.
A mare nursing her foal.
Likely inspired by this.
Specifically these comments:
Swindle: @Nails: No, the real torture is when the foal gets too big and heavy for his mother to carry him like that. He gets to lay there, immobile, remembering and wishing he could do it again. And it will never, ever, happen.
wolfram_sparks: @Swindle: this is why I love you swindle
At least the foal is cared for and loved⌠for now.
Donât worry little baby, I will keep you companyâŚ
Why the fuck would it bother burdening itself with a useless offspring that will eventually get too big to leave that hole and end up working itself to death trying to find enough food to feed to both
This really helps to put all these hellgremlin peepee poopoo baby justice stories/comics into perspective for me⌠Fluffies being callous racists to their own children is just a cheap outrage mechanic that neither satisfies nor amuses me, whereas them being too kind and loving too much for their own good is heartbreaking even as I enjoy watching them suffer.
