comment
Motherland: Fort Salem is an Alternate History TV series that began airing on Freeform in March 2020.327 years ago, the witches of Salem made a pact with the Massachusetts Colony - in exchange for being spared further persecution, they and all their descendants would fight against their enemies. Later this carried over to the nascent US. Over three centuries later, Raelle, Tally, and Abigail are the latest members in the dwindling call up. If they survive Basic, and then War College, they'll be sent out to fight terrorist witches called the Spree. But first they have to get through Basic at Fort Salem.Season 2 premiered in June 2021. At the end of the second season, the series was renewed for a third and final season, premiering June 21, 2022.

Interfaith Smoothie: The witches seem to practice some kind of paganism, judging by their Beltane orgy and other references. Raelle is mocked by another cadet for using a Bible quote in her spells, though, described as "Christo-pagan".

comment
Non-Heteronormative Society: LGBT+ people in this world (or at least the US) are completely integrated and accepted. Raelle's relationship with Scylla is treated no differently than any opposite-gender couple, with them entirely open about it. The only exception is the Imperatrix, who's charged with arranging witches' marriages for continuing their bloodlines, given that Raelle flatly refuses to marry a man and have children like the Imperiatrix wants (while insulting her father-a Muggle-to boot).

A Lighter Shade of Black
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_19fc58a2
comment
A Lighter Shade of Black: The Spree are a dogmatic terrorist group fighting for the freedom of witchkind but are unafraid of civilian casualities, doing whatever they have to if it means furthering the cause. They're still far better than the Camarilla, a group of witch hunters obsessed with the genocide of witches by any means necessary, and will go after defenseless children and even their own families if they are even remotely hinted to be witches in some way. So it comes at no surprise that when Season 2 ends with the main trio forced on the run due to a Camarilla-orchestrated plot from within the government, that their best ally is Nicte Batan, the founder of the Spree, even if they don't exactly agree with her methods.

As the Good Book Says...: Raelle quotes a verse from the Book of Matthew as an incantation to heal people. The witch-hating Christian fundamentalist Camarilla also quote the Bible naturally, and the injunction to not "suffer a witch to live" from Exodus naturally is popular.

They stage a scene in which she leaves everything shattered and Anacostia knocked out on the ground.

Exotic Extended Marriage
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_3012325a
comment
Exotic Extended Marriage: The fictional witch culture at least in the US has polyandry (marriage between a woman and multiple men) as a common feature. In fact it's standard among High Atlantic witches, an elite upper class group, with three husbands being common. This is explained as a way to have a larger source of positive genetics in child conception (which they all contribute to simultaneously, probably by magic).

Conscription
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_31c4280
comment
Conscription: Due to the Salem Accord, a pact whereby witches agreed on military service with Massachusetts Colony and then the US, they're conscripted for it into the modern day. "Conscription Day" is even a national holiday. However, some families that have lost many members in combat are exempted. Tally's is one, but she volunteered to serve in the Army anyway. Raelle feels this is slavery by another name on the other hand. A witch terrorist group called the Spree also believes this.

Burn the Witch!
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_352def2a
comment
Burn the Witch!: A reenactment of Sarah Adler being condemned to death at Salem is portrayed through an In-Universe play (more accurately, they're shown hanging accused witches, not burning them). She saves herself using magic however. Later on, Scylla mentions over 600 witches were burned in Germany in 1761. She also says just last year a witch was also burned, so it still hasn't gone away entirely (however, this was likely a lynching, not a legal penalty). In the first season finale, the Camarilla burn several captured witches at the stake.

Magically-Binding Contract: The specifics have not been explained, but the Salem Accord that among other things binds U.S. witches to be conscripted to serve as the army for the U.S. government is more than mere legal words on paper.

Magical Native American: In the Motherland universe, there are magic-wielding Ojibwe tribesmen. In the backstory, they played a role in both establishing the modern United States and in keeping Sarah Alder alive, and for that, the Ojibwe were granted sovereignty over the region called the Chippewa Cession. The Marshal is one. He has long gray hair, wearing tribal style ornamentation on his clothing with a cowboy hat and dark leather jacket fitting how many modern Native men dress. As a Scarily Competent Tracker, he manages to find Nicte and Scylla, undoing their disguises using a spell he activates by whistling. Of course, given this show has a nearly all witch cast, Native American witches are only to be expected. He is the first Native American depicted on the show, however.

Mark of the Supernatural: Every witch possesses a mark somewhere on their body, which looks like a black, symbol-shaped birthmark though it changes, becoming shiny, after the person's had sex.

Synchronization: Alder and her biddies are somehow linked by magic. Thus, when Alder suffers an attempt on her life, the injuries are shared between them, sparing all their lives. Played with, as Raelle has a magical link to Scylla that allows Scylla to transmit messages to her via their palms. They don't share sensations otherwise. Petra Bellweather taps her pen on her desk, seemingly innocently. She actually syncs an enemy officer's heartbeat to the tapping. The faster she taps, the higher his heart rate. She continues until his heart gives out and he drops dead.

Fantastic Racism
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Despite their position in society as members of the Military and often receiving the same courtesies given to real-world soldiers (such as a man giving up his airplane seat for Tally), witches still face bigotry from civilians. A man refuses to listen to Tally's orders and insults her, stating that since the Spree are witches all witches are the problem. Later the Witchfather tells General Alder that one of his men was assaulted by a police officer with "no reason given". The very continued existence of the draft is also a form of discrimination too as Muggles are not conscripted into the conventional military (which still exists). The disparity is so large that the term "civilian" is even synonymous with "non-witch". Conversely, witches often view civilians as inferior, with many advocating that mixed marriages between the two are bad, because it supposedly leads to weaker magic the more witch bloodlines are diluted. Raelle, the child of such a marriage, also faces bigotry as a result.

Incompatible Orientation: Raelle thinks Byron is hitting on her at first when he approaches, and says she's only into girls. Then he tells her that he's gay, so they're mutually incompatible.

Magic Mirror: In "Homo Cantus", the Season 3 premiere, Abigail enchants a gas station restroom's mirror to speak with her mom, as her image then shows up on another mirror inside her mom's office. This is a Spree work, and the Army witches don't know the spell - Scylla teaches it to her.

comment
Kangaroo Court: The main four are put on trial in "But I Don't Even Have a Dress", with President Silver and his cronies meeting in secret with the judge beforehand where it's made clear the jury verdict's predetermined. During the trial itself the prosecutor repeatedly cuts off Tally and later Abigail while they attempt to explain themselves. Raelle then denounces this in a statement, making clear what is going on. They're only saved when President Wade returns to blow the lid on the whole conspiracy, getting them released while Silver and the judge (among others) are arrested for their crimes.

Maligned Mixed Marriage: It's mentioned that Raelle's mother was punished for marrying her father, because he was a Muggle and civilian. Her father later relates that he was denounced to his face for fathering her, since this would make his daughter "weak". The military pressures witches to marry each other, so powerful bloodlines will continue, and thus their arranged marriages for this end are standard.

Super Breeding Program
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_7041e520
comment
Super Breeding Program: Witches are encouraged to have children together through arranged marriages in hopes of them having stronger magic. It is suggested that mixing the bloodline with civilian blood can result in "faint" witches' marks and Raelle mentions that it is generally looked down on to have a civilian father (like hers). Husbands are selected for good genetic material, with multiple ones simultaneously contributing to the child's conception in polygamous marriages (standard eugenics taken into fantastic territory). This even gets compared with horse breeding.

comment
Took the Wife's Name: This is standard in witch society, as one might expect given the importance of matrilines. Female witches pass their surnames on to their children and it's their husbands who change their name after marriage, even in the case of Raelle's father Edwin Collar, a civilian, who took his witch wife Willa Collar's name. Outside of witch society, it appears to still be the norm for the father's surname to be passed on among civilians.

Psychic-Assisted Suicide: A member of the Spree (revealed to be Scylla) casts a spell at the beginning of the pilot that enchants people to walk off of balconies en masse, killing them. It's called a "suicide bombing" later in media reports. Scylla later casts a spell on her ex-boyfriend, Porter, which makes him jump to his death off a building. It is later revealed that he knew what was going on but was powerless to stop himself. In "Happy Yule!" Vira (Scylla's ex and member of the Spree) uses a spell to force Sterling Woodlot into stabbing himself with a knife.

Bonding over Missing Parents: Raelle and Scylla are able to understand each others' grief due to Raelle's mom and both of Scylla's parents having died due to the military. Alder insinuates that Anacostia feels sympathy for Scylla due to them both being orphans. The Bellweather unit has a ceremony at the start of basic training to honor their fallen relatives. Khalida and Alder (who is Back from the Dead) share their stories of their parents being murdered and having to leave everything behind.

Inappropriately Close Comrades: Inverted. The witches are not only allowed to get into relationships and/or have sex together, it's actually encouraged as male trainees visit Fort Salem. For same-sex relationships no one seems to care either, since Raelle and Scylla make no secret of being involved. Sex and attraction can be used as an energy source for spells so it makes sense that the military would allow these relationships to happen as it would result in stronger soldiers.

A Threesome Is Hot
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_7a667c8d
comment
A Threesome Is Hot: During the festival of Beltane the witches participate in a dance ritual (the Reel) which matches them up with someone or someones compatible for an evening of pleasure (whatever that means to you). While it's not always sexual, it typically is. Several threesome and moresome groups walk off together at the end, most notably Abigail and her two male witch suitors. It starts of as an MFM threesome, but at Abigail's request, the guys engage in a heavy make-out session and she has to divert the attention back to her, making it an MMF example. When Tally and Gerit are caught in bed together by his wife she suggests this, but Tally is not interested, though this might have more to do with how it was suggested to her rather than the idea itself (to start, they just sprung this on her). Overall it seems like there's no taboo about threesomes in witch culture.

Slashed Throat: The Fixer in "Mother Mycelium" demonstrates how important their role is to the cadets by slashing one's throat as they watch in horror. She lets the young woman bleed for a while before healing it. Abigail goes to check on her cousin Charvel after the latter goes to change into her wedding dress, to find Charvel dead in the bath with her throat cut wide open. Later several murders of witch byblows are discovered, and the chief Fixer discovers their larynxes have all been cut out, which she insists to a disbelieving Alder is a calling card of the witches' ancient enemy the Camarilla. She's right.

Arranged Marriage

comment
Arranged Marriage: In High Atlantic society, it is common for witches to make five-year marriage contracts between the major families in order to mix witch bloodlines. Later, due to falling witch birth rates and the increasing deaths among them, the Imperatrix or Matriarch of the Imperative gets introduced. She's the head of the organization which arranges marriages, and doesn't answer even to General Alder. She tells young witches it's their duty to marry and have children (only with other witches-no Muggles), including Raelle, a lesbian, who's naturally uninterested and flatly refuses (it doesn't help that she's an "outcross", the child of such a marriage herself, with the Imperatrix telling her to make a "better choice" then her mother had done).

What Happened to the Mouse?: In season 1, the last we see of President Wade is her being puppeted by Alder as her staff looks on in horror as she's going visibly and wildly off-script.

If those are now her implanted beliefs, how does she explain to everyone else around her who knew what she was originally planning to do?

On the other side, you have the Spree, a truly vile terrorist organization that mass-murders civilians in cold blood using horrifying magic. The Camarilla, an ancient organization that once attacked witches has also been reactivated and wants to restart the old persecutions thought to be forever gone.

Mind Rape: While tracking down Nicte in "Delusional", Abigail and Raelle experience magical hallucinations as a result of a spell that are horrifying. Raelle has to experience her mother killing her father and then her, while Abigail's involves her conjuring a storm that goes out of control to kill her mother along with other people. Worse, they start to harm others and themselves as a result of these hallucinations until they escape it. The other soldiers with them didn't manage to, and killed themselves unwittingly. Scylla admits this was the same spell she used to cause a mass suicide in the first episode, which indicates the people hallucinated something innocuous that made them walk off ledges.

In the episode "Hail Beltane", for example, the witch cadets hold an orgy on the titular holiday in order to generate power that the Necromancy cadets then use to interrogate Porter Tippet about his death. In "Happy Yule!", Scylla tries to take advantage of her increased power during the holiday season to try and communicate with Raelle, who's been trapped in the Mycelium. "Brianna's Favorite Pencil" takes place during Samhain, when each coven must defend their hearth until midnight from the ghosts of the Lost Regiment. If they win, they get to talk to one dead witch of their choosing.

Tragic Keepsake: Raelle has a few: her mother's war protection totem, her mother's conscription medal, the bird skull corsage she gifted Scylla, and Porter Tippet's scourge. Bridey chooses to keep wearing her eyepatch instead of getting her missing eye Fixed, as a reminder of her failure to save her sister during a Spree attack.

comment
The Needs of the Many: Scylla's flashback before the massacre shows her superior blithely dismiss it with the "can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs" idiom. Apparently the Spree feel their atrocities are justified to free the witches (though how murdering random civilians will do that in their minds is anyone's guess). On the other hand, the government also thinks the disasters that use of weather magic causes are justified to achieve a greater good too.

Persecution Flip: A mild example as when Raelle uses a quote from the Gospels as a healing spell on Pagan Abigail, Abigail reacts much the way an Evangelical might react to having a Wiccan bless them. One of Libba's girls is similarly disgusted when Raelle uses the Gospels on her during an exercise, disparagingly calling Raelle "Christo-Pagan" (as she also engages in Pagan rituals).

Feminist Fantasy: The series revolves around four young women at the titular Fort Salem, a training academy for military witches. In their world, as a result of most witches being female the US seems largely female dominated (or at least has many leading women, including the President and head of the Army), while the story focuses on female characters even in minor roles (male characters so far have been secondary and in a decided minority), with them filling positions that been traditionally occupied solely by men and having great prestige.

Muggle Power: In Season 2, an anti-witch movement among the civilian (non-witch) populace springs up, due to popular resentment after numerous attacks by witch terrorists. However, they're against all witches, and denounce the military conscripting young witches into their ranks, with a popular slogan being "Not Our Daughters". They turn out to be created by the Camarilla, bloodthirsty witch hunters with the goal of wiping out witches everywhere.

Alternate History: The series has Salem witches being real, who made a pact with Massachusetts Colony to fight on their behalf in exchange for ending persecution of them. It carried over into the US, until in modern times the Army has witch soldiers fighting the country's battles. Promotional materials seem to suggest that in the Motherland universe, the American Civil War was different or never happened, as Sarah Alder's likeness occupies the universe's equivalent of the Lincoln Memorial. She also seems to have displaced George Washington in the Revolutionary War, as her visage occupies his place on Mount Rushmore, and she is depicted in his place in Emanuel Leutze's "Crossing the Delaware" painting. Fleshed out with a timeline shown on a chalkboard in a classroom during a training exercise, which shows that history radically changed in the 20th century to the point where there was no equivalent to World War II. The Chippewa Cession (or simply "the Cession") was created in the 1830s when lands were ceded back to indigenous tribal federations in exchange for help, including the Work that has allowed Alder to live for centuries. It replaces Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana (although real-life Oklahoma is called Louisiana instead).

Despite their position in society as members of the Military and often receiving the same courtesies given to real-world soldiers (such as a man giving up his airplane seat for Tally), witches still face bigotry from civilians. A man refuses to listen to Tally's orders and insults her, stating that since the Spree are witches all witches are the problem. Later the Witchfather tells General Alder that one of his men was assaulted by a police officer with "no reason given". The very continued existence of the draft is also a form of discrimination too as Muggles are not conscripted into the conventional military (which still exists). The disparity is so large that the term "civilian" is even synonymous with "non-witch".

During the festival of Beltane the witches participate in a dance ritual (the Reel) which matches them up with someone or someones compatible for an evening of pleasure (whatever that means to you). While it's not always sexual, it typically is. Several threesome and moresome groups walk off together at the end, most notably Abigail and her two male witch suitors. It starts of as an MFM threesome, but at Abigail's request, the guys engage in a heavy make-out session and she has to divert the attention back to her, making it an MMF example.

The adjective "magical" or "mystical" is never used either.

In Spite of a Nail: Witches are real. Due to their making a long-ago pact, the US Army has witch soldiers. Women seem to be overall more prominent in US culture as a result, including having a black female President, Kelly Wade. However, everything else in the US looks just like reality, with the same fashions, modern technology etc (only the military uniforms are different; though we have only seen the uniforms for the witch branches of the military and conventional forces do exist).

Western Terrorists: The Spree is a witch terrorist group that has committed atrocities in the US, such as a mass suicide caused by magic that opens the show, and they're described as being anarchists.

Magic Is Feminine
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_d884fa1f
comment
Magic Is Feminine: Male witches exist but are mostly relegated to building weapons while female witches do front-line work, and men are clearly the second sex in witch society. Some do get into War College but are outnumbered by the women. It's mentioned by Alder in the beginning of Season 2 that being a witch is transmitted along female lines of descent only: a male witch and female civilian will produce Muggle offspring and a female witch and male civilian will have children who are witches, although it's preferred for female witches to choose male witches as husbands as otherwise it's feared their children's abilities will be diluted.

Interrogating the Dead
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_d88f0679
comment
Interrogating the Dead: A spell is capable of making the recently dead speak and relate their last moments. This is used to get intel or find information about how someone died. The necromancers do this to Porter, to see if he truly committed suicide. The Spree interfere with the ritual to protect Scylla, who actually killed him.

comment
Superpowerful Genetics: Magic is a hereditary ability, and most of the witch characters at Fort Salem mention having ancestors who were also witches. In fact most of them come from old witch families. At one point it's mentioned that a group of Bellweather-descended women who were targeted had "faint" witches' marks likely due to being born from intermarriage with civilians and that the women possibly didn't even know they were witches. Same for Vice President Silver's daughter Penelope when she turns out to be a witch; Alder says that Penelope's late mother must have been a witch from a line that went into hiding or lost contact with their heritage.

Speculative Fiction LGBT: The story is set in a Non-Heteronormative Society where witches exist. Nearly all of the cast are witches, with magic as the main focus. LGBT+ people or relationships are viewed no differently here than heterosexuals and opposite-gender pairings by most people. Raelle and Scylla, two of the four protagonists, are lovers whose dynamic is a continuing theme.

Salem Is Witch Country: In the show, there really were at least some witches in Salem. They made a pact with the Massachusetts Colony to end persecution, fighting with the militia. It then carried over with the USA, and now in modern times they serve with the US Army, their basic training being done at the titular Fort Salem.

comment
Mildly Military: Despite Fort Salem serving as a training ground for the US Army, with the witches themselves being conscripts who will be deployed into combat once their training finishes, there are very few trappings of military life present. The presentation is more as a Wizarding School with an emphasis on combat magic, as opposed to an actual army. One of the more obvious examples of this trope is that they frequently call each other by their first names.

Anti-Magical Faction: In Season 2, a movement has arisen among Muggles that is vocally anti-witch, due to the Spree's terrorist attacks (despite there being witches on the opposite side too). One is even wearing a Nazi-like armband too. Both the Army and Spree know this bodes ill. Scylla (a Spree member) and Anacostia (from the Army) team up to investigate them, believing the Camarilla are behind it (a pre-existing example).

Matriarchy
 Motherland: Fort Salem / int_f7057d51
comment
Matriarchy: The alternate US seems to be dominated by women, as female witches occupy the top military positions and President Wade, although she and the other government officials are not witches, is also a woman. However, it doesn't exactly reverse social hierarchy in the US either, and there's no sign of explicit misandry. It seems to be a result of the fact that most witches we've seen are female, and so by association women in general obtained more power, thus falling into the Original Matriarchy category. It's also notable that black and Latina women are visibly equal with white ones. Nor does anyone care if a person is LGBT. The matrifocal commune Tally is from would be one by default as well, since no men live there. Except for this, it's not depicted as really too different from the modern US regarding fashion, government, technology etc. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, an in-universe rendition of "America the Beautiful" also replaces "brotherhood" with "sisterhood". The Cession is also run by a mostly female council, with representatives from different native tribes (Salish, Shoshone, Lakota, Ojibwe, Muscogee, Iroquois and Cherokee).

Abigail's and Tally's are in easy-to-show places, but Raelle (who is confirmed later to be a lesbian) comments they'd have to get a lot friendlier for her to show them hers, as it's right next to her vagina.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The songs that call down storms and tornadoes cause environmental disaster in other places around the world; droughts, famines, disease and other similar catastrophes. The world governments are completely aware of this, they simply don't care. They think the good their power does in war makes the resulting deaths from their consequences worth it. The Spree oppose witches being mass conscripted into the military, which they condemn as a kind of slavery, with a high death toll as witch soldiers fight Muggles' wars. However, they fight this by massacring Muggles with their spells, including children, which apart from anything else, only inflames public opinion against witches.

All Gays are Promiscuous: Inverted: the heterosexual characters, Abigail in particular, are significantly more promiscuous than the openly lesbian Raelle, who has a single romance in the series (which doesn't go smoothly). She even ends up spending Beltane platonically hanging out with a gay male witch on the periphery of an orgy, neither one of them having anyone better to do.

After learning about how her mother died because of the supposed incompetence of Petra Bellweather, Raelle finds a new purpose - to ruin Petra's daughter Abigail, but she quickly abandons this plan after realizing that it would also hurt Tally. Additionally she grows to be friends with Abigail as well, and likely doesn't want to do this anymore later.
