Happy Mother’s Day from Hypable! Today we are celebrating motherhood across the fandoms from Once Upon a Time to Outlander to Teen Wolf!
Fandom moms are full of advice, tough love, and some twisted ways of showing they care. Whether they are fighting the undead, running from curses, or raising seven kids in Scotland, these fandom moms all want to see their children live their best life. So raise a glass to some of Hypable’s favorite moms!
Fandom moms accept you, even if they don’t understand you
Mary Cooper: “If you recall when you were little, we sat right here at this very spot and we talked about some of the problems you had getting along with the neighbor kids.”
Sheldon: “That was different. They were threatened by my intelligence and too stupid to know that’s why they hated me.”
Mary: “Oh, baby, they knew very well why they hated you.” The Big Bang Theory
And they know how to deal with those who put you down
Xiomara: “Now it’s your turn to listen to me, because I know how to take care of 16-year-old bitches.” Jane the Virgin
Fandom moms push you to reach your full potential
Loreen Horvath: “I cut her off so that she would have something to write about.” Girls
Although some have odd ways of showing it…
Maya Pope: “That man hurts you. He uses you. And he will throw you away when he’s done with you. I just wanted to give you the chance to be free. To be happy.” Scandal
Some fandom moms show their love outright
Regina Mills: “No matter what you think, no matter what anyone tells you, I do love you.” Once Upon a Time
Others drag you through years of torture before they reveal it
Cora: “My daughter’s lost everything now.”
Hook: “Well aren’t you ‘Mom of the Year.'” Once Upon a Time
Fandom moms are resourceful during tough times
Carol Peltier: “[The monsters] will tear you apart and chew you up while you’re still alive… Or you can promise not to ever tell anyone that you saw me, and then nothing will happen and you’ll get cookies. Lots of cookies. I know what I think you should do.” The Walking Dead
And they always know best
David: “I swaddle him perfectly.”
Mary Margaret: “He’s a baby not a breakfast burrito.” Once Upon a Time
Their advice can be a guiding light in the darker times
Mama (Melissa) McCall: “Sweetheart, let me tell you something no teenager ever believes, but I guarantee you is the absolute truth. You fall in love more than once. It will happen again. It will be just as amazing and extraordinary as the first time and maybe just as painful. But it’ll happen again. I promise. But until then, be your own anchor.” Teen Wolf
So call them every now and then
Jackie Tyler: “One phone call. Just to know that you were alive!” Doctor Who
Because no matter how much you bug them, they love when you’re around
Jenny Fraser: “Everything to do wi’ bairns is a nuisance, almost. Still, ye’d never choose not to have them.” Outlander
Happy Mother’s Day!
