Earth Mother	comment	Like the Empress in the Tarot pack, a hearty, smiling lady who is invariably portrayed as heavily pregnant and holding a brimming cornucopia, or nursing a baby, while children play at her feet. She is almost always of ample and attractive proportions with the occasional huge tracts of land, and will be generous and bountiful in her affections; she can make green things grow and flourish, and who want to share that love and bounty in one way or another—food being a particularly popular one. They want to love and support and nurture others and generally be motherly. She is both fertile and fecund, but she can get a little cranky if she is not appreciated the way she wants to be. Scorned, she can be lethal — God help you if you get between her and one of her babies. A goddess of the earth/nature/fertility/motherhood is more often than not an example of this trope. If an Earth Mother is afflicted, she can shade into the Jewish Mother or the My Beloved Smother. And bear in mind the flipside of Brawn Hilda is a vengeful Valkyrie with a very big spear. Compare and contrast Apron Matron. See also Mother Nature and Water Is Womanly.

Earth Mother / int_2e5d1163	comment	Long-running sitcom The Good Life revolved around a suburban couple who give up the rat race to become completely self-sufficient. Barbara Good (Felicity Kendal) is a woman who typifies the other sort of Earth Mother—the green-fingered garden goddess who makes things grow and flourish. She nurtures her animals with love and acts as caring mother to husband Tom, an overgrown adolescent who hasn't quite made it to mature adulthood yet.

Earth Mother / int_2eac76fc	comment	In the Overlord games, the elves worship a deity known as the Mother Goddess who takes the form of a heavyset woman. It's because of this that Elven Priestesses gorge themselves and it's implied to be why male Elves tend to be Chubby Chasers who serve overweight human women.

Earth Mother / int_93acba01	comment	From Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, the patron goddess of the country of Zofia is Mila. She founded Zofia in the belief that mankind deserved happiness and ease, and blessed the land so that the crops would grow without work or toil from the citizens, who often refer to her as "the Earth Mother." The conflict of the game begins when Mila's blessings suddenly cease, and Zofia is stricken by famine. Mila's belief in pleasure and happiness above all else eventually began to corrupt the more complacent, rapacious Zofian nobles, as they started to let their appetites dictate all else.
