So like; how did everyone find out that they could "put buns in the oven"? I imagine that it was a surprise to everyone
Each of our fan children lives in a different “area” of the Fog, separated by which one of us made them. Each place has its own set of rules for the people of the Fog. In my area? No one knows the what rules are for sure, but it seems likely that the Entity would react badly to learning about the interacting lifes of the Killers and Survivors, as well as the children that they may of found or created.
There seems to be two ways for children to be created in this area of the Fog; Biologically or Randomly. Biologically is exactly what it sounds like, when a man and woman falls in love and so forth. But Randomly means that the child may of just *appeared* in the Fog. In the outskirts where there is no trees, no trials, no nothing. Just emptiness, fog, bits of trash, and sometimes a baby.
Before both ways were known by the folks of the Fog, they were learning to live better lifes outside of the trials. At first, Killers and Survivors coexisted, not bothering one another and each staying in their own clearly separated group. But after some time some started interacting in non-violent ways. Passing by, a killer and survivor may nod, acknowledging one another. Or both chuckling at a silly situation happening in front of them. And soon, many were treating eachother like friends and neighbors, seeing through disturbing or “inferior” features.
But after some time learning, growning, existing, and sometimes, being together in the Fog passed, a child appeared.
Quite literally, a baby just appeared in the outskirts of the Fog, and the Entity was the first to find it. It’s curiosity was peaked by the child, how could a human be so small? And so loud being so small... it looked like a mixture of two others in this world...
After being shown and “gifted” the small “mixture”, Danny and Michael hid the baby from everyone else, they didn’t know how others would react, and if the Entity learned more about her, then it could surely bestow more chaos in this already chaotic world. (Although Michael didn’t care if that happened. He just didn’t want others to take the little girl more then anything. She was his.) But after a bit, the two showed the baby to a few Killers they trusted.
Although, Max didn’t know how to keep a secret.
After word got out, everyone went ballistic. They all wanted to see the little girl and protect her from everybody else, but after everyone got to see her, and all agreeing to banish Freddy far away before he even knew of her existence, it finally calmed down, no Entity involved.
Although, thanks to her, many had the thought of children in their heads. They thought, why? Then, how? And soon, people started to experiment.
As Pixel said, our fan children each exist in a different version of the fog. In my version they're not really "born" in a traditional sense but created by the Entity itself.
In my fog, the Entity figures out that it doesn't have to go out searching for new killers and survivors all the time. As an omnipresent being, it realizes it can use the ones that already exist to create new ones. So the Entity begins taking some of the strongest killers and survivors and combining their DNA and such to create even stronger killers and survivors.
Bodily functions such as periods don't work in this fog, meaning people can't give birth. So instead the Entity simply creates the child itself, almost being a surrogate for the two people it chooses. So once Entity has created the baby, it will be sent to the fog and it's parents/someone else will take care of the baby so it can survive, or it will die and Entity will have to start over.
Most of the killers either ignore the baby, leaving it to fend for itself, or if they do happen to have a heart, will try to care for it. It's the same for survivors, although they're more likely to take the baby in since they have stricter morals. The babies themselves will grow up, but once they turn 21 they stop aging, like everyone else in the fog. They also need food in order to grow until they're 21 and the only food to be found in the fog are crows, vultures, water etc. So it's not exactly pleasant growing up there.
Due to the children having to eat, they still have some bodily functions, or at least those that deal with digestion. Growing up in the Entity, many of the children are raised to be killers or survivors from a young age so that they remain useful to the Entity and aren't taken away.
Being "taken away" basically means that the Entity will murder "failed attempts" where the child is too weak or isn't useful in continuing sacrifices. Out of fear of this, almost all the children are forced to become killers or survivors as soon as possible in order to survive.
The killers and survivors were both surprised at the appearance of babies in the fog. The killers soon understood that it was part of Entity's will and did as they were told or were disobedient and punished for it. The survivors were startled at what seemed to be a new test, but warmed up to the idea of new life in the fog. In a way it reminds them of home.
Well, for my au it went a lil smth like this:
basically when the first child came into the fog, it was not a surprise, hence she was older than a child, an older teenager to be precise, around 17. But when the first biological child of two people was born, then people realized that it was possible to start a family in the fog. They were shocked, but they knew they had to be careful; where would the children stay in the fog? Who would care for them during trials? Even with all these questions, people begun families and took care of children, finding things out along the way.
