Segue Magic: Best Fictional Moms

Marines: Happy (belated) Mother’s Day, Traumateers.

We celebrated by being super proud of ourselves for actually being timely with one of these topics:

It seems like this was a challenge for a few of us, though we all managed to put a pretty good list of great moms together.

Coming out at number one? Molly Weasley:

Not very surprising when you consider that Molly was the most present mother in the Harry Potter series and often served as a surrogate parent for both Harry and Hermione.

Lilly Potter wasn’t far behind, however, her story-starting sacrifice making an impression on us:

Second place officially went to Lorelei Gilmore:

Other mentioned moms include Kitty Forman, Tami Taylor, Elastigirl, Marmee, Natalie Prior, Ma Ingalls and lots, lots more. Including a questionable shoutout for Cersei Lannister from me. JUST THINK ABOUT IT, OKAY?
