Motherland: Fort Salem. Multivariable analysis Crack theory

Mother Mushroom; Scylla is going to “Resurrect” Willa Collar

Another batshit crazy theory that @pure-gay-fandom-trash​ has helped me develop. We’re too giddy about it not to share, even though this is well, batshit crazy. For the purpose of this analysis, we’re assuming Willa Collar is actually dead and that it’s Raelle’s [estranged] aunt who’s driving the Spree to extract her. So if Willa is indeed alive...

(Also, this may change completely after episode 6 tomorrow, so I may amend afterwards when we get more content and context)

Under the cut as usual for those who dare...

This starts with something beautiful…

Oh sweetie, you already have

Everyone remembers this scene and it is too big a moment and too big a perspective on life and death not to be referenced again in the future. Specifically, Scylla tells Raelle, “In the Kingdom of plants, mushrooms occupy the underworld. Nothing ever really dies. Life becomes death, which becomes life again. Over and over.”

You can teach me about death any day, I will be your disciple 

Aside. I am so here for reincarnation mythology, it’s basically my religion.

Raelle says her mom is really dead and Scylla apologizes for bringing up a sensitive subject but she only means to say that “death is more complicated then it seems, it’s not so cut and dry.”

You’re something beautiful, Raelle

This scene provides our first potential hint that Willa Collar may be more than a name and a memory in this story. Now, obviously a complete resurrection is not possible. Necros were able to create a death current through Porter to communicate with him, but not raise him from the dead. In this canon, or any canon, bringing people back from the dead is not really possible. But because of the scene with Porter, we know magic exists in this universe to communicate with the dead. Perhaps there is more than one way…

I know what you did last summer *wheeze* I mean night *wheeze*

Now, Willa Collar has been dead for a while. A death current is not possible as the body is not fresh. But as Scylla said, death is not so cut and dry. There are complexities we are not aware of. And mushrooms are important, apparently. Which brings us to our next piece of critical evidence.

Episode 7 is titled Mother Mycelium. Mycelium by other words is a fine white network of fungus; the root system that in some cases produces mushrooms… aka the occupants of the underworld in the kingdom of plants. And considering that fungi absorb energy from their surroundings in order to grow, this strongly suggests we will readdress the discussion around how nothing ever really dies. But why, ‘Mother’ Mycelium? Whose mother is this referring too? The combination of these two words could hint that there is a link yet to be explored between life and death and perhaps the essence of someone [mother] is never lost, simply repurposed or redirected.

Building further, in the promo for episode 6 we see Raelle in an unknown place, investigating an unknown substance with an unknown face. I’m pretty sure this isn’t Willa Collar; the face is too different than what we’ve seen before.

The entrance to The Upside Down, probably

This face...

Is not this face... yet?

But the substance is eerie. It’s white and filamentous. It looks like an intricate web or root system (a fungus maybe??). It also reminds me of the Archway in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic which is intimately linked to death (Harry Potter for any heathens who are confused). And we see this substance in Motherland can take the shape of a human form.

Next, we have the music. While unlike the Raylla musical theme I previously posted about which is a very clear reusable tune, we feel like there is a strong musical connection between the following tracks (listen to them in this order and see what you think). Let’s call them musically and tonally linked. If someone can actually find a legitimate connection here, please let us know. But since the first two are very clearly about Raelle, this suggests the third is too. Together, they feel like they are telling Raelle’s story in some way.

Add Saving Khalida to this mix too; similar tonality so also probably about Raelle

Because this is a matriarchal society, Mother & Daughter could be referring to almost any one of our girls. But it probably isn’t Petra and Abigail – the Bellweather’s have a very distinct sound linked to them in the Bellweather Legacy (another track). It probably isn’t Tally and her mom because, honestly, they haven’t been giving them too much attention (although that could be on purpose). Probably not Scylla’s mother because Porter confirmed that her parents are in fact dead.

Aside. An alternative theory we have is that it actually is Scylla’s mother because then it would literally be Mother Mushroom to our baby Necro and that is too fun to just dismiss and ignore.

Therefore, if Mother & Daughter is in fact about Willa and Raelle, then they will have some sort of interaction or reunion. This is hard to imagine if Willa is actually dead. So how will this happen?

Something Motherland has been saying since before the show began is “Together, their powers are limitless” when referring to Raelle and Scylla. This has always suggested that when they figure out how, they will combine their powers (of life and death, literally) to be unstoppable.

Together, this all may suggest, that their combined strength (stemming from their physical and emotional connection, i.e. LOVE) will be enough to call back Willa’s life essence through the kingdom of plants. Scylla will find a way for Raelle to communicate with her mother again, all while helping Raelle discover how powerful she really is.

 How’s that for your happy ending?

Mid Season Finale analisys

One by one to be sure I’ll speak everything!

Björn (melted) Ironside

I need to say I liked the scenes with him. Loved the way he lost the princess as fast as he felt in love for a complete stranger. They were too connected to a pair of lovers who just had one night together and nothing more, when he felt so disconnected with the woman who spent his entirely life with him and had his children.

Unlike Torvi, he seems to have no concern about Guthrum's death or his children lives, being attentive only to his new lover's life. I liked to see her wasted that way as much as I liked his face to the "intangible Ivar", so he can have a slap in his face from the gods and maybe become a real man.

Ivar is right and maybe on season 5B, Björn might see that he is fighting wrong and that HE is the one who is sacrificing his people lives to protect a mother who could have solved this problem by accepting Ivar's single combat defying.

Ubbe Ragnarsson (RAGNAR’s son? Are you sure?)

I’m so sad about you, babe. Ubbe had almost no participation in this episode and I was hoping so much more from him.

He had no guts to kill Hvitserk, had nothing but some battle scenes and ended up the episode like a pet, following Björn, walking aside Heahmund - a man who slapped him in the face and humiliated him as fuck.

I am sure that his decision in not to kill Hvitserk will be crucial in Hvitserk's life and way to think from now on but I have to say I was waiting more from him. Some words, some big brother's actions, or some sign of all that angry at 4B season about his mother's death that seems to have vanished completely.

Ubbe is decreasing in my concept as a character and I'm sorry to see this happening. He is really following Ivar's words and that's disappointing...

"You showed yourself to be weak"

Hvitserk (not-so-)White-Shirt

What to say, what to say...

Another char that I was waiting so much more and caught myself disappointed. Hvitserk was growing as a man, stepping outside Ubbe and Björn's shadows and becoming an independent character, with his own actions and opinions. And now, he seems to be regretting his best actions like leaving his brother Ubbe's embrace was something reprehensible and stupid. 

In fact, Ivar is not the love of his life and I didn't saw him jumping out of that boat for loving Ivar, but I'm sorry to see that such a great character is playing the "regretted Madalena", as we say in my country, and starting to fall in a depressive role of dramatizing a single decision that could have changed his life.

In the other hand, we had his battle scenes to console me and I have to say it was pretty unmerciful to kill Guthrum in front of Torvi's eyes then leave that way leaving no chance for her to avenge her son's death. One more point for his score, once he is showing himself as a fierce Viking and maintaining his bestiality in battle, dirtying his shirt and his hands in cold blood. Pretty nice way to show his dark side and true colors. 

I hope he grows a little more in season 5B and for the gods sake, if he have to die for Guthrum's death, PLEASE by Björn's hands, not Torvi's.

Ivar the (Rutheless, Fearless, Untouchable, Invincible, but not-so-)Boneless

WHAT WAS THIS GUY!

Ivar was something like “FUCK THE WHOLE UNIVERSE” in this episode!

And also fuck the whole research Alex Høgh Andersen has done to portrait a disabled person…

I have to admit Ivar was fucking awesome at the speech scene, but I hope he suffers some consequences of walking without crutches that way, assuming his disease is a permanent condition that makes his bones WEAK. HE MUST HAVE broken some bones or did some damage to his legs walking that way or his arms, punching shields that way, or Ivar the Boneless will be nothing but a lost name to the character.

They were so focused on making Ivar have the time of his life that they totally forgot about his disability and this cannot happen in a world with Ragnar's words echoing all the time in his life. Let’s not forget what the king said to his son and remember Ivar is still the crippled and sick brother here...

“You are special… Not in spite of your legs, but because of them”

But he was still fucking awesome! I have to repeat. F-U-C-K-I-N-G A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Margrethe the Insane

Ida Marie Nielsen is giving us a hell of a show of interpretation with her now insane Margrethe who we saw grows from an ambitious character to a damaged woman with strange smiles and finger motioning.

But I have to say it was weird to see her becoming a Völva with visions from no-fucking-where, coming from angry to madness in such a small amount of time.

And with so many people to go inside the Seer's house, the last one I wish to see was the insane Margrethe, receiving obvious answers - OF COURSE Ubbe will never be king of Kattegat! - And some predictions that gave me chills - about mad people inheriting the world. WHAT?

Something better would have been seeing Torvi killing Margrethe before finding her children in good health - what a hell of an explanation she would have to give to Ubbe if she does something like that, don’t you think?

I just hope she doesn't end up killing Ubbe or something stupid like that, for the gods sake!

Harald (Bye bye) Finehair

God... What a pity I had for Harald Finehair in this episode! He was the brother with balls to kill his younger brother and fulfill the promise he made, he made Astrid cut his hair to fulfill another promise and now, he lost everything.

No brother, no kingdom - cause let's be honest here, Ivar never EVER intended to give Kattegat's crown to him - no hair, no woman, no son... He just lost his entire life and again, he is walking alone in the earth. I hope they give something for this guy to live for because this is sad as fuck!

Guthrum’s death and the fuck to the History

This can’t be called historical series.

It is a hell of a fanfiction from history – in which we can see the author was pretty in love for Ivar the Boneless – but is not a historical series.

With Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye’s death we have already lost huge pieces of Scandinavian history but now, with Guthrum’s death, who the hell will conquer Mercia?

No no no… Let me guess… Ivar???

We can love a character – and for the gods I LOVE Ivar the Boneless and Alex’s interpretation like hell – but we can’t say that Vikings is a historical television show when they are doing such this mess with historical facts. Guthrum was a fucking very important Viking who made huge advances into Wessex kingdom after acquire lots of land from Mercia and Northumbria. Some historical stories about Halfdan/Hvitserk even say Guthrum succeeded Ivar at the command of the Great Heathen Army aside Hvitserk, when the Boneless retired to reign over Denmark.

I am not a researcher and I’m not from Scandinavian people, but even I, with my lack of knowledge, can see Guthrum’s death as a huge strike on the series historical plot and now I really want to see how they will deal with this mess…

Hope they don’t give all the merits to the Boneless, because Ivar is already huge enough to become even bigger. This is not a show about Ivar the Boneless, but a show about Vikings culture and I think they must have respected history a little bit more…

The Promo and final considerations

WILL FUCKING IVAR FUCKING BURNS LAGERTHA ALIVE? DID I SAW IT RIGHT??

If I saw right, I have to say it will be insane and I can barely wait to see how Ivar will get to this point.

Hope that woman by his side at Kattegat’s throne is Freydis. It is already time for Ivar to, at least, show himself able to bring Sigtrygg to this world for us to see some history happening here. There is too much imagination going on and it is time to put some order into this mess.

I think that they screwed some things with this messed up mid season finale, but let’s see what is going to be about season 5B and season 6. Till there, I hope not to lose any other Ragnar’s son and to see our boys growing into something more than pieces on Ivar’s hnefatafl.

[shineyma]

Amy, I'm here! I've been through the tag some to pick up on a couple of things and now I'm here for you to trash AOS and also give me anything from headcanons, realizations etc. I'll start: Did Jemma really call Deke perfect and used his existence as proof against Fitz's new version of "the bloody universe wants us apart"? What did Jemma and Mack say more or less? I know it was about Fitz, but a post linked it to something Jemma said in next week's promo to make some vague Jemma assumptions, so.

[Warning for LOTS OF SPOILERS in this post.]

Okay, nonnie, first up: the scene where Jemma called Deke perfect was 95% the BEST THING EVER. She told Fitz about how Deke is their grandson and Fitz’s reaction is PRICELESS. He stared blankly as he had this realization and was like “Deke is my....our........grandson?” and you’re like aw, poor guy, understandably in shock, but then he goes “but he’s the WORST!”

And Jemma said “I think he’s perfect” and he gave her this LOOK, like “what crazytrain are you on, Jemma, have you MET the guy” and it just kept going. He said that obviously their daughter was gonna marry some “insufferable space goon” if she’s gonna end up giving birth to DEKE and I was almost crying laughing, nonnie, I really was. I can’t remember the last time aos made me actually laugh out loud, it was awesome.

............And then Jemma, my bb, she ruined it. Because she’s decided that Deke being their grandson means that she and Fitz are “invincible”---that obviously they’re not gonna die in this “Destroyer of Worlds” mess since they live long enough to raise a daughter. Which:

is a weird logic fail coming from such a genius?

Deke existing is no guarantee THEY live

who said anything about THEM being the ones to raise their daughter

Fitz could die the second after Jemma gets pregnant and SHE could die right after giving birth

having a grandson guarantees nothing

MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS STUFF IS THAT THEY’RE GONNA CHANGE THE FUTURE

HAS SHE FORGOTTEN THE HORRORS OF THE FUTURE LIGHTHOUSE

WHY WOULD SHE WANT THAT GUARANTEE IF IT COMES WITH A SIDE OF HER DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON HAVING TO GROW UP IN THAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT

Ahem. Anyway. I was very annoyed by that line.

And by the scene that prompted~ it, because Jemma’s talk with Mack (which happened IN THE MIDDLE OF PERFORMING SURGERY ON ELENA, what even is this show) was a minute of him trying to talk about Fitz and how Jemma feels about last week’s doctor stuff (which Jemma obviously did NOT wanna talk about), and then Mack telling her about how Elena thinks seeing herself in the future means she’s invincible in the now, a thought that inspired Jemma’s own weird conclusion. Such nonsense.

Finally, possibly the most important okay not really but I have my priorities thing: remember way back in s1 when we found out that Garrett made Grant shoot his dog? Remember that?

It turns out that that is a STANDARDIZED TEST in Hydra. For real.

We had this flashback to General Hale as a bb Hydra agent, going through their version of the Academy (which........I have so many questions. did they have to go to the REAL Academy as soon as they finished? or did they just get plopped into SHIELD and hope nobody noticed they didn’t remember them from the Academy? there was a bb Sitwell there too and he was annoyed to be assigned to SHIELD....maybe because he was SUPPOSED to be done with classes but nope, back to it.........anyway, I’m getting distracted, sorry.)

So General Hale had a dog in her room and Sitwell made a comment on her being overly attached to it in a way that made it clear EVERYONE had dogs and I was there thinking “wait, was Buddy Garrett’s Hydra dog? was that it?” and then NO, even worse, we get a flashback to the next day (and she was bullied in the previous day so when it showed the empty collar I was SO SCARED that those assholes had murdered her dog) and find out that these kids’ final test~ before graduation was killing their dogs, because HYDRA IS THE WORST.

*deep breath* Sorry, that was a long run-on sentence, but man. Man.

And okay! Thoughts and realizations! Really, I only have two, both about the dog thing:

this explains so much about Garrett

this ALSO explains why Grant was so insistent that he wasn’t REALLY Hydra. he didn’t go to their school! he didn’t take their classes! he was just a contractor, basically, don’t look at him

okay I lied, I have three, with the third being: I’m assuming the Hive-worshiping sects of Hydra had their own Academy, where they indoctrinated their kids into the glory of Hive~

imagine the rivalries between academies

do you think they played each other at sports

did the hive-worshipers call the non-worshipers heathens

did the non-worshipers call the worshipers nutjobs

I’m making jokes about this because I am still SO SAD about all those poor puppies that got MURDERED last night

good news, though: Ruby (Hale’s daughter) outright refused to murder her dog when she went through the Academy in a later flashback

I’ll stop now

[notyetjaded1]

1-64 please

lol so witty xp but thank you for these! :p 

1. Do you ever doubt the existence of others than you?

I mean, yeah. Sometimes I doubt my own existence, tbh. How are we real, what defines reality, etc. etc. etc. 

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you?

A...2? Maybe? I love the dark, but there are legitimate things to be afraid of in the dark. You can’t see potential attacks as well in the cloak of darkness, everything we’ve been conditioned to think be afraid of (..rape, etc.). Plus, obviously, horror movies and whatnot have instilled an anxiety about “monsters” lurking there. But also, the night is beautiful and calming and cool - there’s the moon and stars lights shine that much brighter...

3. The person you would never want to meet?

Government officials? Barney? Big Bird? Freddy??

4. What is your favorite word?

Fuck. Astral. Loquacious. Stellar. Absurd.

I just really love a lot of words, tbh.

no, i don’t know? I like doings for myself, to be honest. And if someone is helping me with something I’m asking of them, I want them to want to or to actually have the capacity to freely say yes or no. So the idea of a slave even for a day isn’t too appealing. 

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional)

...forearms? Maybe? 

21. If you were the opposite sex for one day, what would you look like and what would you do?

BRO I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT because when I think about myself in my head, I kind of imagine myself as a dude that looks a lot like Ville Valo/Gerard Way/...Cyr kind of mix? Id hardcore spend a lot of the day just jacking off, let’s be real. But also just existing because yesssss at last. 

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it?

35. Are you a good….[insert anything you’d like here]?

Saat Soch: IPKKND3 Episode 8

Previous

Here there be spoilers!

1. I’m impressed with this board.

Look at the back of his waistcoat!! I likey. But the pants!! WHY THE PANTS?!!

I liked the way they linked Advay and Chandni’s pain. Advay’s exasperation with Murli is amazing. I enjoy Sobti’s acting so much :D

2. A study in contrasts

I was angry at this ‘lol look at how different they are’ segment last night. It’s the kind of thing you do to establish a romantic couple. I’m disappointed it’s happened so early.

What kind of an alien eats noodle laddoo and raw chilli? This is worse than the bread and tomato sauce. (OMG they’re the same kind of weirdo heathen alien.) There are similarities, though, such as both of them eating noodles.

And while I’m complaining (Hi, I had a bad day!) why on earth do the sisters have matching pyjamas?! And HOW MUCH MONEY IS 7 UP PAYING 4LIONS ANYWAY?!

“Main nafrat ke liye ek family, kuch rishte, aur ek dil toh todh hi sakta hoon.”    [I can break apart a family, some bonds, and a heart for hatred.]

Is he talking about Chandni’s heart or his own? I think he’s unknowingly talking about his own. I think there’s a part of him that knows how easily it would be to fall back into the memory of Chandni -- I feel like he has to constantly remind himself to hate Chandni (like the poem/lyrics).

The colours Veer is wearing are similar to Advay: green and gray and black.

His Abbu is hilarious -- “Kaun banega biscoot!” ... “Tiretube.”

3. Indrani and Chandni

The two mausis aren’t impressed that Indrani wants to replace gehu (wheat) with bajra (pearl millet) and jowar (sorghum) because Chandni says it’s healthier. They suggest that Advay is Chandni’s boyfriend (she must’ve met him on the evil Interwebz), 

The sisters (changed out of their pyjama-wale-kapde) and are talking boys while oiling one another’s hair. The talk turns from boys to beating up boys to Chandni’s nameless tormentor. But he’s not nameless for much longer, because Meghna knows all about him:

Advay. Advay Singh Raizada. London-return. Maths professor, musician, and rich.

Side note: I guess this means we won’t see him professoring. He’s like Shivaay -- never goes to work. Gul did mention that they built that elaborate office set for IPKKND and it didn’t go over well, so maybe she’s given up on giving her heroes actual jobs.

Shikha is convinced that he couldn’t have been behind the poster trick, but Chandni’s flashbacks reveal that she knows better. Indrani is also convinced that it was Advay.

OMFG the editing.

ETA: Look at this shot!! Advay and Chandni are again linked to Shiva and Parvati.

4. Advay’s plan

And here he comes, my drama llama bitwa, yet again marching into this house as if he owns it. 

Advay: “Aap ki beti ki phir se badnaami ho gayi.”    [Your daughter was dishonoured again.]

Ahh. So he knows about her disappearing and how she’s already been shamed for it.

I enjoyed the double meaning in Advay’s words when he addressed Chandni. Wheels within wheels within wheels!! I also loved all the (secret) looks Advay gave Chandni to check whether she was following his plans within plans. He’s obviously enjoying this.

The ASR theme kills me dead.

This was an excellent plan on Advay’s part. Get a stranger -- who can’t connect him to the affair -- to bring up what happened sixteen years ago so he can gauge their reactions and come in as a saviour. This is the behaviour he exhibited in the promos as well.

5. Saas-Damaad

He looks like such a seedha-sadha-ladka when he’s addressing Mrs Vashisht (his future Saasuma). 

I absolutely love this interaction between saas and damaad. I love the way she warns him off Chandni. And the way he sort of stares at her (Is she really taking a panga with me?!) and then is distracted by his two saalis and Mausa-ji as they attack the poster dude. 

Honestly, they’re both such brilliant actors. I find myself thinking, sometimes, that Sobti and Ritu carry this show.

6. No. No. No. No.

I was so angry over this last night.

I loved the wink and the remixed Rabba Ve instrumental, but what the hell is going on here??!!

It’s much too early, in my opinion, for Advay to transition to Romantic Hero. And while I’m absolutely expecting Chandni to fall for his act, she has nothing to fall for at the moment. She has a few genuinely terrifying words and actions and seems bizarrely confused over his intentions.

It’s not that I didn’t expect this, I just didn’t expect it in Episode 8 when Advay hasn’t even done anything to warrant confusion. Some part of me wants to say she might recognise her Dev, but it wasn’t indicated in the flashbacks so I doubt it.

7. Of notes and cages

Kajal Mausi has something sensible to say (for once) about their blackmailer not needing to do anything else after the letter, but Indrani is convinced that Advay has nothing to do with all of this.

I love how Shilpa and Murli are helping Advay!! I also enjoyed the symbolism of a cage, because as Advay says, you need a cage to catch the bird! But again, you have to wonder who is caged here -- Chandni, or Advay himself.

ETA: Look at Indrani putting moonlight (Chandni) in a cage. It seems to me that her actions in trying to get rid of the blackmailer will trap Chandni somehow.

Precap: Again with the pants. I guess I have to get used to the style *sigh*

“Lene nahin, dene aaya hoon.”

Okay, colour me intrigued.

Theories:

1) Advay’s plan is to win her family over and marry her, and then destroy the family from within. Perhaps he will find the blackmailer and ‘punish’ him to gain the family’s trust.

2) Veer will try to prank Advay with hilarious results.

Will I continue?

After the awesomeness of the last episode, I feel like I was slapped in the face with this one. I was hoping to enjoy this show for a while before they started to push the romantic angle. A part of me wonders if they’ve reacted to fan pressure and decided not to make the story as dark as originally planned?

I’ll watch the next one though ... I’ll round off the week!

Next
