The **Ash Baby meme** originates from a scene in the 2009 animated movie *Coraline*. In the film, Coraline enters a dark, eerie room where she finds ghostly children trapped by the **Other Mother**. One of these spirits, a pale and ashy-looking child, became known online as "Ash Baby." The meme took off in the 2020s, with people using the image to describe **looking exhausted, malnourished, or emotionally drained**—often in a humorous, exaggerated way. The meme gained traction on TikTok and Twitter, with captions referencing skipping meals, pulling all-nighters, or facing everyday struggles, making it widely relatable and funny.
