Oh, anon. I'm in the exact same bind there but I feel the trope use of dead mothers is kind-of exploitative towards those of us who actually lost our mothers while we were still children. To me it's a little emotional fetish some media companies have and which has nothing to do with what it's really like growing up after your mother died.

But at the same time this secret has put a slightly bad taste in my mouth because it's saying 'yay, a princess who's like me & the majority of other people and not like you freaks! I feel so validated' which...LOL irony, I guess. The dead mother trope skeeves me, but I'd rather see some media that genuinely engages with maternal bereavement - with no fairy godmothers and no undeath fluff - than to have a media where all people grow up with two living parents (which is unrealistic anyway - half of all children go through some kind of family breakup before they're 18).

...

In the meantime, I'll be over here playing Metal Gear, I guess.

Actually what I meant was that, being a mother myself, I like seeing movies where the mother lives.
