Okay, so I know I haven't yet got around to Part 2 of 'Doomed Geeky Couples' but I thought that since it's Mother's Day, I would use that as inspiration for a Mum/Mom themed post. Of course I have to get the Geekiness in there as well, so here we have 'The Geek World's Most Amazing Mothers!'
Here we go and in no particular order:
1. The Weasley's Mother. Molly Weasley.
We will always hold this warm, happy lady in our hearts. She treated Harry as one of her own and provided him with the Mother's love he never had growing up. Of course we will also remember her for killing the 'Bitch' Bellatrix Lestrange.
2. Catelyn Stark (Tully).
Okay she was bloody irritating and she always has this ^ soddin' look on her face (some please slap her - oh no they can't she's already dead, thank God for small mercies). Seriously I can't be the only one who always skipped 'her' chapters in The Book Series, surely? But she had her good points, can't think of any right now, er...she loved her children, except she left them scattered all around Westeros and beyond. Okay she really loved one of her sons - Robb Stark...except she nagged and nagged and nagged him until they all got killed in a huge, massive, explosive, bloody massacre! Good riddance I say.
She lied to the Dark Lord and in doing so, saved, oh I don't know - the whole of mankind both wizarding and muggle. Okay it didn't really happen but so what!!!
4. Joyce Summers. Buffy's Mom.
She was great. Until she died and left behind two daughters, one real - the other not so much. Everyone loved her and the episode of her DEATH left a big, gaping hole in my chest, labelled 'Buffy's Mummy' so RIP Joyce.
5. Cersei Lannister.
Bitch she might be. But she is one heck of a lady and beautiful to boot! She would do anything to protect her children - products of her incestuous affair with Jamie. Of course she did give birth to the Spawn of Satan. So that's got to knock her down a few pegs.
WARNING. SERIOUSLY DISTURBING PHOTO AHEAD.
This photo scares me shitless. The first time I saw this scene, I think I wet myself.
7. Mama Bates. Norman Bate's Mother. We don't know very much about her. But she must have been a damn fine Mother cause Norman went a little bit nutty after she died.
8. Khaleesi - Mother of Dragons.
What lies in store this season for Dany and her fire-breathing children? Who knows?! Well, you do I guess, if you've read the books.
9. Carrie's Mother
Okay just kiddin'. She was a terribly awesome Mum!
10. Speaking of awesome. This is legen...
wait for it
...dary!
10. Barney's Stinson's Mum.
Who is awesome. Complete Slut and chain-smoker but fun and just generally awesome! Defying gender/age stereotypes everywhere.
11. Ruth from Six Feet Under.
She also plays Barney Stinson's Mom. Ruth is a fantastic example of a well-written female character in television, actually Six Feet Under has some of the most amazing female characters in all of television, full stop. Ruth is a 60+ year old woman, learning to live again after the death of her husband. She becomes a florist, has sex with a hairdresser whilst high in the middle of a forest and generally provides the touch-post for the entire series, without ever feeling the need to glam up, although by the end of the series she is a lot more comfortable letting her hair down!
Okay so there you go folks. Happy Bloody Mother's Day.
Oh wait before you go, I have one more photo, just cause it makes me smile.
