I’ll just say Rennala, because she was a pretty good mother, just depression and heart break got to her


NotADamsel

The fact that her daughter, especially *that* daughter, still has her back speaks volumes about how she was as a mom


Impalenjoyer

You're right. She would have her assassinated without hesitation otherwise


AuthorOB

I mean the real answer is Rennala because Ranni is wife. This makes Rennala mother in law canonically for that ending, and is therefore even more of a superior ending than the others than commonly thought. You get a wife and a mom. What do the other endings get you? Deprived of free will? Zombie apocalypse? Status quo? On fire? Horns on your balls? And what do the other moms get you? Cancer 2? Murdered? Bled upon? Tanith seems like a nice mom though, she really cared about Rya. The trick is to make sure you acquire your mom by marrying her daughter, as this is the only way to get both. If you choose a mom first you get locked out of marrying their daughter as they become your sister. "The Lands Between," does not refer to the lands between Mississippi and Georgia.

thehazelone

I mean, Ranni is very attached to her moon and that's part of her destiny. And it was Rennala that guided her to it.


JustAnotherFace09

Didnt radahn get kinda abandoned? Also she has favourite children, no system is sustainable with real favourites.

OsoTico

You were born a child of dragons, what could you possibly fear?


Quadbinilium

And another cool thing is that all her kids have interesting magic, and they're the only full blooded siblings who seem to actually still get along in-game (well, I'm guessing they got along with Radahn pre rot based on them having his painting up)


solaruniver

And not having any curse too Like omen or rot.


TheDinoNuggets78

Idk man dying in like 3 hours and being reborn with less and less memories kinda sucks


Automatic_Education3

There's a painting of Radahn in the Volcano Manor, so it's safe to say they were cool with eachother


Qelperr

Ranni probably didn’t like Radahn stopping the stars seeing as that went directly against her big plan


Einrahel

And yet Iji forged weapons for all his soldiers


LordGwyn-n-Tonic

Iji was war counselor to the Carian family first IIRC. I think it's only by the time the game begins that he's loyal exclusively to Ranni, but even then that's probably because she's the head of the Carian household.


Phalanx976

Great choice…unless she’s an Albinauric. Sorry about your legs.


Erathvael

Yeah, her mothering produced Rani, the most stable of the Demigods. I'm not being sarcastic; she legitimately turned out the best.


Arrasor

She also produced Radahn. Dude was legit chad and upright before rot ate his brain.


unwanted-fantasies

And rykard was apparently rather decent before the snake ate him. Seriously, radagon. All your kids with rennalla were the best damn people in the lands between and somehow you ended up fucking your self sister and ruining everything. Ranni killed herself and became a doll. Radahn got in a fight with your selfcest daughter and caught the Rot and went insane. Rykard literally just wanted an end to all the bullshit and got so sick of it that he fed himself to a snake. Most of the world's main problems can be traced to radagon simping for an eldritch tree.


SapientSloth4tw

Okay, Self-sister is now my favorite way to refer to Marika xD


Eagle-Eyes-

Rykard was always a shit person. His pre-shattering job was a Praetor who led an "Inquisition" against those who didn't follow the Golden Order, so he must have done some torturing for the GO even before the war. We literally see many Albinaurics in his manor who are being tortured.


Eagle-Eyes-

I wouldn't call someone who murdered her step-brother and herself a stable person. If anything, Godwyn was probably the most stable of the demigods. He spared and befriended the dragons who were the aggressors in war, and took care of Miquella and Malenia when they were children. Miquella also prayed for him to die a true death, and Fortissax got corrupted by the deathblight for trying to save Godwyn from his fate. Godwyn must have been a great person, and his death is treated as tragic by lore.

cosplay-degenerate

You see. We here in mohg dynasty are more of a matriachy (with a femboy at the top but pssst). Its only natural since we build everything from blood as you know. And with the changes happening in your body my dear daughter, you too will contribute to the foundations of mohgwyn. See that lake of blood outside your window? It was made by your mother and now Daddy needs a new Golf course.

Tanith. She raised a lovely daughter. I'm sure I'll turn out just fine.


FemboyBallSweat

Her daughter killed herself.


Wat_Senju

Only because your ass got involved


Content_Memory_2427

No she didn't, she just left to go on her own journey at the end of the questline


FemboyBallSweat

I swear that comment said Rennala. I forgot Tanith even had a daughter


ImCursedM8

Wait Ranni killed herself?


Nightwingx97

Yes, along with Godwyn.


ADudeThatPlaysDBD

That’s why she’s in a doll’s body, she literally discarded her body on top of a tower. She even has the mark of the centipede on her body.


SerpentSnakeS

What does the mark mean?


gravemistakes

She inscribed the rune of death, known as the mark of the centipede, into herself. Only she did it real sneaky like and did half on her while the black knife assassins did the other half on her half-brother, Godwyn. This caused his soul to die, but his body to live on (visit Deep Root Depths), while her body died and her soul can live on (see the top of the Divine Tower of Liurnia). That's why she's inhabiting a doll when we meet her.


FemboyBallSweat

It means she's a trifling ass bitch


Ok-Ostrich483

Lore accurate. Forget which item description this is


TON-OF-CLAY0429

Well kinda she killed herself at the same time as godwyns death so that godwyns soul would die and her body would die.


Gretgor

Lady Tanith is the best mom. She's super sweet to Raya and protects her despite everything.


houndofthe7

Taniths picture is on that mom quote The glue that holds everything together even when she feels like she's falling apart


GWNVKV

It’s been awhile since I played but didn’t Tannith eat Rykards corpse?


notA_Tango

Look we all have our little issues buddy


GWNVKV

Fair point


nick3790

Yeah! Your mom points out your insecurities a little too much and struggles to say I love you, my mom just ate my dad in a bizarre cult like ritual to ensure the return of his godhood and forced me to hide away in a closet in a flesh suit so no one would know that she fucked a snake. Its the same exact thing ffs!


Nekunumeritos

yeah so

Justagoth4231

Finlay


AnyaTheToh

I'd probably go with Rennala because she actually holds love in her heart for her family, and also because she technically becomes your mother-in-law should you do Ranni's questline. I know Tanith loves Rya but she scares me, and I think if I chose Marika as my mom it would be like walking into an electric fence on purpose


ArcturusGrey

You had me nodding along until the end, then hit me with pure gold lol well said.


ErzherzogHinkelstein

Tanith had a rough past in the adult industry but worked her way up in society to become a model wife and a great mother. She is very accepting, as shown by her butler and her husband and stepdaughter being of another race, and she fully embraces them. Tanith is a loyal wife to a man consumed by his work. She has not only embraced her stepdaughter as her own but also accepts her despite her being a bit different from other people. Tanith is very concerned about her stepdaughter's mental health. Just don't ask her about her political beliefs—she browses r/atheism a lot.


Zuon69

Hehe "Consumed by his work"

No-Manufacturer-9125

I honestly think if given the chance Malenia would be a pretty good Mom


jayjamm5

Just think about how many of the greatest moms in the world are characterized as fighters or warriors. When I go to my soccer game with the other 8 year olds in the Lands Between, I want Malenia, Blade of Miquella, who has never known defeat on my side! Best mom on the list.


Solars1510

Pre-divorce Rennala is probably the least likely to kill me for no reason


knutnaerum

Boc's mum, she sounds nice


Yeet_Thee_Children

She's a seamstress! Also considering Boc is really nice, and he absolutely loved her, I'd assume she's quite lovely as well.


SaintBenjamino

In order of your pictures, they are;  Renalla - Mother Marika - Mommy Tanith - Madam Malenia - Mistress Mohg - Daddy M


Maleficent_Thanks_47

I don’t like how I feel like this would be how all of them would ask you to call them


Joker-Ace1

Hot take, Melania without rot. Like to me from what we know of her and Miquella personality wise they are actually really good and kind people that are hindered by the curses and sins of their family.


Diesectorit_Fae

Ngl if we assume they're going to be directly in our life and not ignoring us or whatever, melania and rennala would probably be the best.


Fit-Bad8325

The more I think about it, the more I wanna know what kind of mom Malenia would be, considering how nice of a sister she is.


Alarming-Canary2684

Most likely an utterly panicked one "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE FIVE DAUGHTERS? HOW'S THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?wait..how old are you all? HO MY GOD YOU'RE ALL TEENAGERS?! I'M A MONSTROUS MOTHER! 😭😭😭😭 I'M SOWWYYYYYYYY"


cosplay-degenerate

I think she would be out of her field as a mother. You don't become an undefeated swordfighter by honing your mother skills. Her confidence would not make her panic but she'd be clueless about how to be a mother and maybe issuing commands and treating them kids more like soldiers. She'd be a cleaning maniac too much like Levi from attack on titan.


Alarming-Canary2684

You may have the confidence of a mountain when faced with FIVE kids that are your perfect carbon copy without remembering any pregnancy? I think even the mountain would have a stroke 🤣


NewtFront5361

You become an undefeated sword fighter and mother by practicing both skills


cosplay-degenerate

What indicates that she did both?


Gretgor

She had a daughter with Let Me Solo Her, canonically /s


TheSuspendedOne

Damm, enemies to lovers arc


Parada484

Big-Policy-3019

wait why is mohg an option?


Brain_lessV2

OP *could* be referring to the Formless Mother with that. At the same time however, Varre emphasises that Mohg provides love, so he's probably like a parent to his subjects.


NotADamsel

Kinda feels like Mohg is a twisted mirror of Miquila in some says


Dry_Vehicle_636

Because why not?


gabrielczm

Ignoring the obviously kinky side of the question: Renalla is obsessed with the egg and neglect her other children while depends on Ranni to take care of her, Marika locked two of her sons in the sewers, Tanith asks that we kill her adopted daughter, Malenia is evading child support payment and Mogh needs jail time. On the other side, Boc's mom really cares about him even after death and teachs him to love himself as he is.


eduty

I want a whole DLC where we decide Boc and Torrent are the best of us and elevate them to Elden Lords. Misbegotten, Tarnished, Omen, Cuckoo, Giant, Frenzied, Albinauric, Carian, whatever. We can all agree on getting behind the good bois.


loveinacoldclimate

Malenia would rock the fuck out of your school sports day


nwbell

Undoubtedly Fia 😉😉


PDRA

Second best answer I read so far, after the guy that said his own mom.


Unusual_Astronaut426

Rennala or Tanith seem to be the best mothers. I don't know what Malenia would be like; she never met her offspring...


Br0dyquester

I want malenia to be my mommy


ThatGuyInTheRain52

Like, Mom or mommy? The answer will be v e r y different.


WillTheWAFSack

Okay but I think Malenia would actually be a really caring mother, considering how much she cares about her brother.


Solenka217

Malenia.


GO0O0O0O0O0SE

Mom - Renalla, mommy - Malenia


Avatarboi

Definitely not Marika LMAO. Malenia seem nice though so maybe her. And if I choose a dad it would be Radahn


RealBradPitt13

Malenia will die protecting me


Hoodigang

Tbh I think mohg is the only one who really would care about you


Background-Blood-725

Mohg seems like he'd unironically be one of those really sweet and supportive dads when his daughters get their periods.......but also on the other hand he wants to marry his twink brother so you win some you lose some


PDRA

tbf Miquella’s sister is equally obsessed. He’s just so irresistible I guess.


buzzyingbee

Alecto.


godstouchyuncle

Marika before Godwyn's death


Bender_Is_Best

Honestly either Malenia Or Rennala and I think I’d go with Malenia only cause I like her character more


Keira-78

Malenia :3


Goodestguykeem

Rennala seems like a genuinely caring mother and is the only person here who isn't too morally questionable as far as The Lands Between go imo. Lady Tannith seems like a good mother, just questionable allegiances and morality, though I too despise the Golden Order and distrust the Two Fingers. Marika is a terrible mother and person. Malenia seems like she'd make for a good mother based off her love and loyalty for Miquella and is far less morally questionable than most people here. Mohg is Mohg. Rennala > Malenia >> Tannith >> Marika >> Mohg

mohg ofc


yevelnad

Equal_Ad_3805

Probably Rya. Seems like the kindest, goodest girl.


DreadfulNightSleep

Unironically, Renalla or Malenia . At least I would either get Radahn or Miquella as my brother/uncle and they seem dope.


carbonera99

Renala and Tanith are the only good choices in this entire line up. Marika threw away 2/3 of the kids from her first marriage into the sewers for being born a little ugly, got the last one killed in what was either a deliberate sacrifice or as collateral damage in a power struggle against her step-daughter. If we count Radagon, she also homewrecked their own family with Renala. Needless to say, she's a shit mom. Malenia is a questionable case since it's safe to assume she has no idea her 5 daughters even exist but that also means we have no frame of reference for how she might act as a mother. Though, considering she regularly goes comatose for lengthy periods of time and her body was colonized by the power of an eldritch space god that literally rots everything around her, she probably wouldn't make a great parent. It's due to factors largely out of her control, so we should cut her some slack. Might be a good mom in an ideal world but her unique health condition otherwise disqualifies her. Mohg is not only a megalomaniacal murder-cultist worshipping a blood god, he has so much baggage and generational trauma from Marika. He'd definitely perpetuate the cycle of abuse and project his mommy issues on you. He'd make a terrible parent, probably on par with Marika.


WrittenWeird

Fia the cuddler


FlamingRaven7024

Either Malenia or Rennala🥰🤩😍 What the hell is mogh doing on the list?!?! 😱😱😱

RyanCreamer202

Let’s here we have… 1. Crazy 2. God 3. Will gaslight you 4. Cancer lady 5. Kidnapper Idk I guess I have to go with God


Tedanki

Easily Rennala. She actually loves her children.


eduty

Mohg isn't that different from my current Mum. Doing the right thing in the wrong ways because she was abused as a child. I'm pretty sure Mohg just wants the best for everyone which is why they've thrown in with Miquella. They only cause harm because they feel there's no other option. Probably needs therapy, anxiety meds, and a few small outings where the hypervigilance is unnecessary.


BenjaminDover02

Rennala was such a good mom that even Ranni was like "you better scramble like an egg and leave my depressed ass mom alone before I fold you like an omelette big dog."


Doc-Eldritch

Rennala. At least before radagon left her for Marika. Tanith doesn’t seem terrible either but being affiliated with volcano manor kind of knocks her down a bit. Malenia seems pretty cool. Strong, honorable, caring. Buuuuuut….scarlet rot. So yeah… Marika’s just straight up a tyrannical monster. I’m not fully clear(I don’t think anyone is, really) on how much was her being forced by the greater will, and how opposed to it she really was. It seems she rebelled against the elden beast/greater will by the events of the game, but how much was because she couldn’t abide by its darker actions and how much was just because she didn’t want to be controlled by it? Either way, we get plenty of evidence of her being a pretty bad parent. Mohg is…Mohg. When someone’s even in the running for worst person alive in a dark fantasy setting, I think not wanting that someone to be your parent is pretty self explanatory…

Phrygid7579

1. Rennala- She seems to have been a good mom judging by how Raanni cares for her even after she's gone senile. Radahn turned out to be a great man, and Rykard seems to have been a case of ambition run amok. 2. Malenia- I get the feeling she was a bit of an absentee mom, but not because she wanted to. I think she was unconscious when she gave birth to her kids? Either way, assuming that she was capable of being there, she seems like a good person given the causes she puts her blade to and I'd like to think that might extend to her parenting. 3.Marika- The reason I've focused on whether or not the people on this list would be *good* moms rather than other things begins here. Marika was a pretty awful person and the odds that I end up on the wrong side of one of her plots and cursed for life or doomed to die a horrible death are too fucking high. I don't think she was an intentional danger to her kids, but her plans often led to those children being hurt really badly. 4. Tanith- I don't know about you but if the only reason I was born was so my mom could fulfill some fucked up ultra evil heresy secret plot, I'd like to know and the fact that she's willing to have total strangers drug her kids so that she can gaslight gatekeep girlboss them more effectively isn't helping. Maybe just tell me that my birth was an act of sin against life, yeah? 5. Mohg- I am not interested in being raised by a pedophile.
