QotD: Fictional Friend
What fictional character do you relate to most and why?
All right, I'm going to whip out my dorkness right now. At the mo, I'm going to have to say Molly Weasley, from the Harry Potter books. When I started reading the books, I was preggo with my twins, and the first real mother figure that's introduced (I don't count Petunia or the brief mention of deceased Lily) is Molly Weasley, mom of twins and more. Throughout the books, Molly is sentimental yet tough, a mama tiger, a great cook and great mother, holds her own with the Order, respected by Dumbledore. Molly is definitely a force to be reckoned with, as she proved in the Molly v. Bellatrix scene. Greatest duel in the entire series fought by a pair of middle-aged women, to paraphrase Makani (my ultimate favorite HP artist). Aw yeah. So yes, I'm a huge Molly Weasley fan, I think she rules, and she would totally hang with our twin moms at GotTwinz. I bet she'd be a blast when you got her out of the house and some firewhiskey in her.
I quote comethime on DA: "If good is symbolized by an angry, fat mother while evil is a 'beautiful' skinny bitch, and good triumphs over evil, then there may be hope after all."
Some more of my favorite Molly fanart:
Love is flaming red by makani
At St Mungo's by makani
Pretty Molly by Hillary-CW
Molly and her babies by lizard-spots
DH: not my daughter, y'BIAAA by makani
Deathly Hallows by Deisi (not entirely Molly-specific, but it's heart-wrenchingly beautiful portrait of Molly, Arthur, and George mourning Fred)
Makani has more Molly pics on her website. Check out Young Molly and Arthur - two versions, Molly and Arthur Wedding (my fave M/A!), HPB Mollywobbles (squee!), Little Molly and Arthur (so cute), Weasleys meet the Grangers, Arthur in the hospital and Bill's hair (teehee). Actually while you're there, check out everything! She's amazing. I particularly love "Red" in her Malfoy fanart 100 (bwahahaha!). "It feels as though I have... POOR on me..."
