Sunday is Mother’s Day in the United States and so we’re taking the time to come up with our list of the top five fictional moms.

Welcome to another installment of the Sorting Hat, where we take characters from our favorite stories and sort them into Hogwarts houses! In honor of Rogue One releasing this week, we’ve sorted the main characters from Star Wars, and it’s quite possible that this was our most difficult and contentious sorting to date. For the purposes of […]
Welcome to The Sorting Hat, where we sort characters from various fandoms into the four Hogwarts houses! It’s taken a few weeks and a ton of debate, but we’ve finally finished sorting all the characters from Game of Thrones (the television version), and thought it would be good to do a wrap-up post showing where everyone wound up. […]

Beagle’s The Last Unicorn, I was lost for good. Mythical creatures were an immediate favorite, and they have stayed there ever since. But […]
