Does anyone have photo refference for Tally's witch's mark? I need it for a tattoo!

*Alder offers for her to go back to normal*

Tally: I made a choice and I stand by it.

Also Tally, the MOMENT she finds out Abigail and Raelle are alive:

guys, I...I LIKE Motherland: Fort Salem

The history is a footnote so far and thus doesn’t bother me, plus they avoided using the names of any real people involved. So that’s fine.

But the WORLDBUILDING. Holy crap. This weird unsettled peace forged by a scared young woman 300 years earlier who probably had no idea what she was creating. This dystopia masquerading as the normal world + an army of witches- because seriously, witch society is messed up. Between the forced conscription and the marriage system that seems designed to make monogamous AND polyamorous witches miserable...it’s a Yikes from me.

Plus, gay. Star-crossed gay, but the straight romance is star-crossed, too, so I’m not overly bothered by that- for now.

And one of the witches is Christian, which has a stronger historical basis than most people might think, especially where the kind of early modern folk practices the people of the real Salem would have known are concerned. I like that element.

I’m really curious to see where it goes.

(The one problem for me is, they picked a stupid name for their terrorist organization. Geez, why not just have the antagonists hiss “We are the Jamboree,” or “we are the Charivari” or “we are the Rollicking Good Time” and be done with it?)

K so Abigail is pregnant/gonna become pregnant, right?

Yeah

That sounds about right

I won't take any criticisms

Motherland: Fort Salem looks interesting and gay urban fantasy is very much my favorite underexplored genre, but I have to know

how much will it drive me crazy as a history geek?

alternate history is fine, so the whole “there were real witches in Salem in 1692 and their magic wasn’t anything like real early modern English folk magic” thing wouldn’t bother me. but I heard somewhere that the Salem witches get their pardons by offering to help with the American Revolution

which happened like 80 years after the Salem panic

why is that where I draw the line? no idea. but that would be enough to put me off the show for some reason

#mlfs #motherland fort salem #if it's just 'we'll help the military' and then that ENDS UP with witches helping win the Revolution later that's okay #although that raises more questions because in 1692 they'd be offering their services to the British army. because there was no America #and thus no American army #just British colonies #so you'd end up with witches fighting on both sides of the Revolution. which would be really cool to be fair #(I'm guessing this is meant to be more of an offer to like. local militias than the entire British army)#(but the king would hear about it at some point probably)#(and then there'd be arguments about the religious validity of practicing magic and a lot would depend upon public opinion)#(...and I'm getting off topic. sorry)

Fanfic concept

In the grip of a raging hangover, biology student Raelle had completely forgotten the gorgeous girl who also got thrown out of the bar last night. Until that girl was smiling at her behind the counter of Front Street Cafe.

In black nail polish and a crow skull brooch. What was it about the sexy-weird ones?

(AKA the IRL Salem, Massachusetts coffee shop everyone-is-still-kind-of-a-witch AU that nobody asked for)

#Motherland fort Salem #mlfs #tally and Abigail are raelle’s roommates #an overly earnest museum education intern and the latest in a Boston Brahmin Harvard legacy family respectively #scylla also works the ‘do a spell with a real witch!!!’ tour at the Witch Village Museum #and isn’t nearly secretive enough about that in Raelle’s opinion #everybody is witches. yes even Abigail. it’s not that rare in Salem; trust me

me, about to watch the new episode of Motherland: Fort Salem: bring forth the (Natural) Disaster Gays

#motherland fort salem #mlfs #I love how Raelle is such a brooding badass and then Scylla breathes within a three-mile radius and she just #'I made you a skull corsage'#'I want to know about your tragic past to comfort you'#[heart eyes]#[slow dancing]

I watched the first few episodes of Salem and the witches do get pardoned by offering to assist the American miliatary, but I dont thing the accord was signed specifically with the revolution in mind, it's just mentioned later that they Did fight in the revolution, along with every other American conflict

Okay, that’s less annoying.

But do they ever address what happened when the king found out? Did the British monarchy and/or Parliament just not know about it until the Revolution? Were all the local authorities and citizens 100% cool with keeping a secret from their government that (as they saw it) potentially put them in league with the actual devil? Was there mind control or some kind of magical cloaking involved?

(I’m assuming this is more of a local militia situation than a British army situation.)
