Working Title: Two Mothers: From YKTTW
Needs fixed:
- Sabrina the Teenage Witch: "Zelda introduces herself and Zelda as" ... One of these Zeldas should be Hilda, I'm tempted to just change it, but I don't want to get it backwards. Does anyone know the correct arrangement?
Removed:
- In The Bible, Perez is born to Ruth and Boaz, but it is said that 'a child is born to Naomi'. Ruth and Naomi henceforth become Perez's two mommies, while Boaz kind of fades away despite being Ruth's husband. There is a LOT of Les Yay in the Book of Ruth...
Reason: Frankly reads far more into the book than is actually there. "A child is born to Naomi" simply means that she finally had assurance that her family line would continue (her sons having died without progeny), albeit through the adoption of Ruth into the family. Boaz only exits stage left because the book ends. And any Les Yay is purely in the mind of the reader; the relationship is presented as a mother-daughter one by the text itself.
Count Choculitis: Kind of have to disagree on that last point. Considering that Naomi's "wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay, I will stay" speech is a frequent staple of wedding ceremonies, the Les Yay interpretation is none too surprising. (Besides, Ho Yay is such a subjective trope that attempts to squash discussion of it on the Wiki are always kind of quixotic.)
GG Crono: Fate. Fate is definitely the daddy.
C Banana: I don't know about that. Fate more often is the soft parent while Nanoha is actually the more tough parent.
Alexlayer: It's not like I want to demand a verification, but that latest entry 'bout Pokemon got me curious. Isn't there a link to show that?
