Tally: *with fingers crossed* is it your shirt, I hope it’s your shirt please…

Okay, I know that it's part of your job to be charming and wonderful. And you're very... very good at it.  But am I being an idiot thinking that there's something more here? Tally, I'm not meant to be spending all my time with one person, anymore than you are. I know. But I've been with you all day, and I couldn't be happier about it. So I'm just supposed to trust you?

[tsthrace]

I just answered an ask about I thought Abigail/Adil and Tally/Gerit will continue in season two. I was wondering what do you think? First whether the show will continue either pairing, and second, whether you liked either?

I don’t know if this is what you want to hear, but I gotta be really honest: to me, Abigail and Adil had the chemistry of a rock next to a piece of cardboard. Separately, they are very compelling characters, but my goodness their interactions were dry at best, forced at worst. It might be that the writing was shallow. They were basically forced together by proximity alone, and then there wasn’t any good reason for them to be together—no dangerous situation to force them to get closer. Their worldviews are diametrically opposed, and the writers did nothing to bridge that. Or it could be that the actors just didn’t have a strong connection. My hope for season two is that the writers either build up their relationship more intentionally with more points of connection and higher stakes, or that they just abandon it and give Abigail someone she has more natural chemistry with. She definitely had chemistry with the boys she hooked up with at Beltane, so we know it’s possible.

Tally and Gerit are another story. Their chemistry is undeniable, and I enjoyed when they were onscreen together. Clearly, though, Gerit has some communication challenges. Between not telling Tally that he was engaged and then not communicating his plan to include her intimately with him and his spouse, he really dropped the ball. Witch culture is more open sexually, clearly (and for solid reasons), so I don’t think there was anything wrong with Gerit assuming a threesome could be an option—but you gotta communicate, buddy! Not every girl wants to share her partner with someone else!

Anyhow, Gerit is now in at least a five-year commitment with his spouse, and Tally is now a biddy. It doesn’t seem like biddies have a very active sex life, and if they do, they always have voyeurs (which some people are into, I guess), not to mention Alder always close by. (Side note: I wonder if the biddies having sex boosts their power which then boosts Alder’s youth. More info needed.) Gerit seems like a good guy, but I don’t know if he’s so open as to hook up with biddy Tally. But maybe the writers will fight ageism, and Gerit will be so moved by Tally’s sacrifice that he can’t help himself.

Or maybe Tally will become un-biddied, as some have suggested. If that’s the case, I do think her experience might bring her new wisdom and maturity that takes her beyond Gerit. He’s a good guy, but he seems like a simple guy. Even if Tally hadn’t turned into a biddy, I think she was already on her way to outgrowing him. She was learning and growing so quickly, and I think she needs someone who can both handle and amplify her power and joy. I’m not sure if Gerit’s the guy for the job. But maybe he’ll surprise me—if he can figure out the spouse situation.

Honestly, I have very ambivalent feelings about Tally becoming a biddy. On one hand, it felt like it came out of nowhere, and I did not like when it happened in the finale. On the other hand, I kind of want the writers to own it and to navigate its implications in season two—not to cop out of the decision they’ve made. Whatever they choose will have implications for Tally and Gerit, though I would venture to guess that either way Gerit will now be a smaller part of her story. 

We shall see...

are they about to have sex on Abigail's bed?

I think the three main romance storylines of Motherland: Fort Salem are a bit rushed and clunky, BUT also very compelling to watch, both because the people involved have great chemistry, and because the three relationships are indispensable to the overall plot and world building.

Obviously, this is the first season, and they have A Lot to address and set up, and not a lot of time to do so with only ten episodes, so I don’t think the pacing issues are unforgivable at all. But I am hoping that if we get a season 2, they’ll slow down and let things develop a bit more organically.

Hi everyone! My friend and I started a fun WhatsApp chat for fans of Motherland: Fort Salem to come together! We would love to have y'all, so please follow this link to join:

Okay so I'm fairly new to the Motherland Fort Salem Fandom. But I binged the show in like three days and caught up to watch S2 EP9/10 live. So I'm sure that someone has already posted about this. But I just want to ramble about how much I love the show, Raylla in specific, and why I think they are soulmates.

In season 1, it was established that sexuality is very fluid in the MFS universe and it also doesn't really matter. It's never brought up as like a thing and even Elliot mentions in an After the Storm episode that sexuality is pretty irrelevant. You are free to love who you love and be whoever you want to be without any judgement. Which is quite the opposite of what we see in our world and most other shows with LGBT+ rep.

What's interesting is the shows take on the concept of marriage and I guess monogamy to a certain degree. During the Beltane episode we see Abigail with Clive and Augustin, Gerit despite being with Tally in the end is seen talking to other girls and is eventually married off. You can even see Glory off in the background leaving with a group of girls (whether that was romantic or more of a friendship connect that's up to you to decide). But from the very get go, all the girls are encouraged to meet and be with multiple different people. Not just one. It's about charging up and having connections and getting stronger. Whether that be a romantic or friendly connection.

This is further solidified when we find out in episode 5 that marriage is more of a contract to make kids rather than a lifelong commitment made from love. Charvel and Ciro are only to be married for 5 years to basically have kids and continue on the Bellweather line. Charvel even says that she's not upset about being married to Ciro because she isn't tied down necessarily she can still be with other people if she wanted. Ciro was more of a means to the end to create a "proper" Bellweather heir.

What makes me think Raelle and Scylla are soulmates is because in a world where monogamy isn't necessarily the norm in the militarized witches world we have a couple that is so thoroughly meant for only each other. That are so instantly drawn to one another and continuously fight for one another.

First off Raelle and Scylla only have eyes for each other. At no point do either of them show interest in literally anyone else. Which yes I know Scylla's initial interest is very sketch because she was told to get close to Raelle from the Spree... but work with me here!

Secondly, we have Raylla's parents. Willa married Edwin and stayed with him the entire time, even though he is a civilian and she likely knew that would be heavily frowned upon. I can only assume their marriage was formed out of love, rather than the obligation to have more girls to continue on the Collar line. Similarly, I'm assuming that Scylla's parents relationship was formed out of love due to the fact that they were dodgers and probably weren't fans of the "make babies for the army" thing that's going on. I feel like Raylla would see their parents love and want what they had. A super deep connection rather than a charge up so to speak.

Third, I want to compare their relationship to Abigail and Adil's. Abigail in season 1 was very casual with her sexuality having multiple partners. But we can kinda see that shifting in season 2 where she forms a really close bond with Adil and fights for their relationship despite her mother's wishes. She even says herself that her relationship with him is different because it's so much deeper than anything else that she's had. And it's when Alban Hearst says that the sky and earth cannot meet that they are basically prophesied to be together... i.e. soulmates. They are the opposites of each other, but they blend together so well. And besides Raylla they are the only couple that we see (besides background characters i.e. Willa and Edwin) that are dedicated to literally only one other person. Now I'd like to argue that Scylla and Raelle are kind of the same. Scylla being the earth, the Necro, connecting to death and bringing people back to life. Raelle being the sky, the the Fixer, healing people keeping them from dying. Together they form the circle of life. death and rebirth almost in a sense. They are the opposites of each other and that's why they work so well together. They are connected to each other on a much deeper level. And I mean opposites attract after all.

Idk if this makes any sense and I feel like I'm rambling here and none of my thoughts are coherent at all. But my main point is that in a world that is telling them they can't be together forever, they are saying fuck that because they're soulmates and they can do whatever the fuck they want.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Another WN X MFS crossover

Camila: so have you ever been with anyone?

Tally: Yeah, there was this guy Gerit but he’s married. He did try to propose a threesome. After that, there’s Nicte, she’s the founder of a terrorist group and she trained me. I also fell in love with the great General Sarah Alder. She’s 300 years old and she’s done a lot of horrible stuff but she’s beautiful and I bonded with her. What about you?

Camila: There was this guy, Todd but I’m a nun. Wait, you’re into older women?

Tally: Yeah! You?

Camila: Well, technically I did have a small crush on Lilith. She’s not that much older but she’s really badass and she’s half demon. Then, I had a crush on Mother Superion. She’s really hot when she uses her cane to kill.

Tally hi fives Camila

Tally Craven and Gerit Buttonwood in Motherland: Fort Salem  Episode 3 'A Biddy's Life'

[regalbootie]

Blood and Sweat

Thought id post other fanfics I've written, I'm not going to post all cos some just aren't great lol I wrote them in my teens.

But here is a Sarah Alder x Tally Craven

Chapter One

Summary: Tally has a plan she has her sight set on Gerit but something changes during the dance and well... plans change.

Rating: Mature for smut, lesbians be doing what lesbians do.

“Pleasure you will have, whatever that may mean to you,” the witch said with a knowing smile and arched brow as she looked at the grinning witches just itching for the music to begin. “When the music begins let go and let the reel guide you and know that you can trust it”

Tally was one of those witches, the whole time the older red-headed witch was talking she was stealing glances at Gerit. She had already set her sight on him and was making a million plans in her head on how she can get to him before the song ended. At the first beat of the drum Tally felt a spark and her eyes were captured by the sight of General Alder striding into the center of the dance floor with the Witch father in toe.

Abigale giggled as she was struggling to take her shoes off and nudged Tally breaking her stare at the tall brunette and bringing her back to the moment. Throwing her shoes to the side Tally sprinted onto the dance floor with a big grin on her face as the dance began. Having never danced like this back home Tally was unsure and she struggled to find her rhythm luckily Abigale would take pity and would help with this and guide her hips to the beat.

Sure as her rhythm was found she was swept off her feet and into the dance as the swirl of magic flowed through the dancers, lifted by a handsome man in a blue suit she was twirled around, she took this chance to see if she could spot Gerrit hoping to lock with sweet brown eyes belonging to the male witch but instead she was instantly met with icy blue ones, Tally’s breath caught in her throat.

She was passed on to the next dance partner breaking her eye contact and noticing Gerit only a few dancers away, Gerit was looking frantically at her and he looked to have had the same idea as her. Just as she hurried to him, she was quickly swept into the arms of another she couldn’t help but laugh and sway in the arms of another.

As the group of witches began to surround the General and Witch Father, Tally watched as Alder swayed her hips and gave a seductive smile to the male witch as she archer her back backwards and as she did this Tally couldn’t help but notice the slightest slip of the Generals corset giving her a beautiful view causing her to turn red in the cheeks but what made her whole face go red was the wink that the General gave her.

Tally could feel the music pushing her towards Alder, but the Witch Father started to guide the witch to the side of the dance floor with a proud smile that Tally just wanted to smack off his face but didn’t know why. Tally Reached out to grab Alder’s hand, Alder turns to see the outstretched hand, lifting her free hand slowly as she was tempted to take her hand. Their fingertips brushed but as soon as their hands touched, they were parted but Tally couldn’t get over that feeling of connection when their fingertips met it was like the dance was over and no more music that was it, she had found who she was going to be spending Beltane with.

But she was dragged away but not without seeing the grin on the General's face, The General followed the Witch father to the side and Tally could feel her eyes on her as the dance continued, She knew she didn’t have much time left she could feel the dance was coming to a close and all she wanted to do was close the distance between her and Alder who sent her a wink as Tally held the hair of the person below her and she watched as the older witch sent the witch father to grab her a drink.

Tally’s view was then disrupted by none other than Gerit who was on the other side of the dance floor, she knew it was not a wise move for a cadet to make a move on the General, so she tried her best to put her original plan back into action. She started to sprint towards the boy and as she was about to reach his arms, she felt a force trip her and in true clumsy Tally fashion, she went tumbling.

She flew past the male witch and slid right past him only to land at the feet of someone else on her knees, feeling defeated that her plans have failed she feels a hand under her chin pulling her to look up at who she had ended up with her eyes slowly rising as she took a quick breath in, Her partner bent forward and she was met with the lovely sight she had seen earlier whilst she was dancing. A corset that let breasts ever so slightly fall forward.

Quickly licking her lips her eyes looked up and met blue eyes and a lip-biting smile that made her heart leap, “looks like the reel chose something new for me this year” biting her lip the General helped Tally to her feet. “You’re not hurt, cadet?” Alder asked but seem to fall on deaf ears as Tally turned to look at her unit sisters that looked shocked.

Alder seemed to find this quite amusing and placed a kiss on the cadet’s cheek before wrapping her arm around the younger witch’s waist and leading her into the forest leaving a confused Witch father returning with drinks and a defeated and confused-looking Gerit.
