--Describe your most recent POV character’s mother.
Oooh, this gets into awkward territory for me, and this is why wrestler's families very rarely enter into my stories, because while Kevin Owens is fictional, his mother is not, and has never appeared in canon to give a plausible fictionalized version of herself. She seems a nice woman, very supportive of her son; she's French-Canadian and I assume a little shy about the fact that English is not her first language, based on the fact that she doesn't appear on Kevin's DVD even when his father does. I do wonder what Kevin's kayfabe parents think of the fact that he makes the life of his former best friend--who seems like something of an adopted son to them--a living hell. I know people have caught his father being chummy with Sami on Twitter, to Kevin's OTT chagrin. :)
Classes start next week, so not much writing this week. I've promised myself that if I can just finish prepping for Monday's classes, I get a treat of being allowed to work on fic for an hour. I have two more to go... Wish me luck and I hope all your characters have mother-issues that are interesting to the plot!

I really loved the glimpses we got of the Amazons in the move and I loved Hippolyta and how she was both queen and mother and how there was so much conflict in only that origin story part.She seemed to want the best for her people and the best for Diana and despite her need to protect her daughter she let Antiope train her in the end and in the end let her go. That mus have been so hard.
I'm also - as always it seems - writing Tony Stark. With Noir!Tony there is such a history tying in with hid dad, but we know literally nothing at all about his mother. Which is something that I should explore in fic somewhere. I can't let that stand!
And finally I'm writing MCU Steve POV and his mother we never get to see in the movies, but she must have been such a huge influence on him. A memory comes up in the fic and I know I've let myself be influenced by 616 knowledge of her there. In my head she is this hard working woman who wants the best for her child and Steve has a lot of her in him.
I feel like I'm writing a lot and yet am not making any progress. I have no idea why that is, but things are just so busy right now. -.-

Ooooh, that's always such an interesting situation! I hope you can find a way to work her in there!
And yesss, Diana's relationships with her mother and the other older Amazons are so tempting and amazing to write! There's a real pleasure to it...

I know. I know! For me canon has suddenly just gone BERSERK and I simply can't keep up with the amount of relational and character development we're getting. Why couldn't this storyline have happened in the spring, when I have more time...
