Happy Women’s Day! Have some BEL Zeldas! They don’t have different names, just Zelda. They’re shown here at different points in their stories. In order (L->R), we have Mal’s Zelda (during adventure), then Link’s (pre adventure), then Acon’s (post adventure), then Talon’s (pre adventure). ("Adventure" meaning the original journey their Links embarked upon.)

Sorry I'm late, but I thought there would be no better way to honor International Women's Day than by paying my respects to one of the greatest women in all of fiction: Toriel Skeleton-fucking Dreemurr.

There's a light-year-long list of reasons why she's an icon, legend, and the moment. But for me, the reason she is such a flawlessly written character is that she's anything but flawless!

More often than not, mothers across fiction are usually depicted as these paragons of moral perfection overflowing with wisdom. Just look at people like Bambi's mom or Crono's mom who offer a little bit of guidance and advice to the main protagonists before being killed off or forgotten by the story entirely as their value is only defined by their relation to the (male) protagonist. I mean the fact they don't even have official names is quite telling in and of itself.

So what makes Toriel's character so special, powerful, and poignant is how she subverts that tired archetype. Yeah, she's got the usual shebang you see other maternal figures have: she got the tender smiles, endless affection, and unshakable convictions, but those qualities of her stand out all the more because they're complemented by very UNmotherly qualities.

She can be unobservant, overprotective, overbearing, misguided, erroneous, contradictory, dishonest, and even hurtful! Hell, she tries to trap Frisk against their will and then physically harms them with fire magic as a test of strength. And then on top of that, she still lets them go despite the fact their soul might be harvested for the sake of starting a war she swore to stop because she couldn't bear the thought of keeping them in the Ruins if it came at the expense of their happiness.

But those flaws and faults only serve to make her strengths stand out more and make her one of the most complex, nuanced, and well-written moms in all of fiction. And it's a real shame when people use these qualities to attack her rather than appreciate her.

Toriel isn't a perfectly written character because she was written to be perfect, it's because she was written as a person: which is how every woman deserves to be written!

I started playing BG3 over a year ago, and a major reason I got into it was because of the female fans. So here’s flowers to all the women that play this wonderful game and make this community great! Happy international women’s day—women hold up half the sky!

For International Women's Day 2025, Mattel honoured this through the Barbie brand with a focus on female friendships.

In a release on their website, Senior Vice President of Barbie, Krista Berger, was quoted as saying:

As we approach International Women’s Day, Barbie is proud to honor legendary female friendship duos across different backgrounds, professions, and parts of the world. We know firsthand that friendships formed at a young age can help fuel social and professional growth, setting girls up for limitless possibilities.

Every year Mattel releases a handful of one of a kind Barbies in celebration of International Women's Day; this year, they featured pairs of well-known female friends.

Such as Indigenous Australian tennis stars Evonne Goolagong Cawley and Ash Barty.

(And others as well, but naturally I'm going to showcase the Australians.)
