Mandela: Why are Faraday and Curie sitting with their backs to each other?

Constantine: They had a fight.

Mandela: Then why are they holding hands?

Constantine: They get sad when they fight.

Citra would do anything for Rowan.

But Rowan would die a thousand deaths before Citra was harmed, Rowan would masquerade as a criminal to protect her, Rowan would wait eternity to hold her close once more.

Scythe Lucifer may not have cared, Scythe Lucifer may have killed without mercy.

But the boy behind the mask would do anything to keep Scythe Anastasia safe.

My thought on Thunderhead which fucked me up, and I would like a lawyer to sue

There will be a ton of spoilers so don't read if you wanna avoid them!

the world building was again just incredible

just scratches something in my brain

My edgey boi Rowan be murdering scythes and I'm so proud

Just straight up abandoned his dad (Faraday) to do it

He is also still a massive simp and we love him for it

Citra really risking everything just to see him for 5 mins though please, also a massive fucking simp

Faraday really showed up and instantly was not like "im not mad just dissapointed" over Rowan MURDERING PEOPLE. I love them please

The thunderhead sections were fucking great and it was nice to see the thoughts of the AI that has to put up with our shit

Greyson is baby

Tyger is DUMB bitch (affectionate)

Curie is Citra's Mum and we love that

the thunderhead really did say fuck you greyson concerning what happened

Also Greyson sweetie we shouldn't be falling for people who have no issuing killing people regardless of how alluring and fascinating they are

CITRA WAS SO FUCKING MAD THAT GREYSON WASNT ROWAN

I FUCKING CACKLED LIKE GIRL THE FUCK

the increased level of the tonists in the book was also really fasicinating and stuff, not by much but im excited to see more in the 3rd book as well

Rand falling in love with TYGER OF ALL PEOPLE(?) was not on my bingo card for this series but I'll take it

Then proceeds to murder him anyway. You DUMB FUCK

Goddard as always can suck my non existent dick and choke on it

the way he came back was horrifying

i literally felt sick

it was so cool

grandslayers were fucking epic

and gone too soon

Citra and Rowan are obsessed with each other

and you can pry that point from my cold dead fucking hands

THE THUNDERHEAD SCREAMING IN ITS OWN WAY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WAS NOT FINE MY GOOD SIR FUCK YOU

also Thunderhead really just said "FUCK HUMANITY apart from Greyson as he is my son and I love him more"

maries sacrificing herself and saving them both despite her thoughts of rowan was pain

Faraday not knowing marie is dead

fuck

Rowan saying citra looked like a godess as THEY WERE ABOUT TO DIE

LIKE

SIR THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE AND IT IS NOT THE NOW

and then just abandoning us with my children at the BOTTOM OF THE FUCKING OCEAN

MARIE DEAD

GRANDSALYERS DEAD

FARADAY NOT KNOWING SHIT CAUSE HES OFF TRYING TO SAVE THE WORLD

fuck you neal my not so good sir

In conclusion, a cliffhanger has not fucked me up this hard since Mark of Athena (fuck you uncle Rick), and I would like to simultaneously sue and pick this man's brain to see where he can find the fucking audacity to do this to us

also theres definetley more but ive already read the toll and im trying not to mix events in my brain so yeah

Scythe Thoughts

Chapter 14 - Chapter 18

ONE THEM HAS TO GLEAN EACH OTHER?! I hate scythes

I gotta say the romance is coming out of no where. Did I expect them to be together when I first started reading? Yes but the build up is just isn’t there yk

Why the hell would Faraday kill himself when he has two apprentices he’s training? I bet it was murder and it was probably done by Goddard and his entourage

I still don’t believe he killed himself, even if it was to spare Citra and Rowan. I think he would’ve found another way out or maybe I’m just in denial, I didn’t like him or anything but it just seemed out of character

Omg they’re trying to get rid of one of them because they know these two will defy and try to take down the system. It’s like Peeta and Katniss, trying to break one using the other. (I know I’m being delusional leave me alone)

Why isn’t there a map?! Almost every fantasy book should have one

It’s like this society is frozen in time, humans are alive but it’s like humanity is at its end. That’s what I feel it would be like to live in this time. Time is frozen and you’re just floating through it like a ghost

Ugh why is she yelling at Citra, like she an apprentice, she’s stills learning. Geez

I don’t like Curie, like respect is earned not given, I may not have liked Faraday but at least I respected him

Do they have social media? Like Instagram, twitter, TikTok?

At least they have phones

Hightlights

it's been a long while since i've read something that's taken my breath away and made me pause to reflect but neal schusterman's scythe did.

first rambling thoughts (spoilers):

absolutely love the anastasia line!! not bc we all know im an anastasia girl but the rationale? i tip my hat to u cittra

the book made me think about stagnation, immortality and what humanity could achieve. i don't believe that even with full equity, crime will vanquish - i think it makes it more fun to wreck something when everything else is perfect

it also made me think about what i would do if i were a scythe - operate on a solid moral code or drown in excess? if immortality is given and gleaning not granted to a scythe, i can see exactly how tempting and desirous goddard's life was

needed chomsky and rand to suffer more, i understand goddard's tho

luv rowan too

faraday x curie was unexpected but i quite adore them individually.

this book came out in 2016 - can't believe it took me 8 years to uncover this gem

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Marie Curie Sklodowska (1867-1934 AD)

Marie Curie holds the record of being the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize. The inventor and scientist Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, the youngest of five children.

Due to her commitment to work, Marie Curie has always served as a source of motivation and inspiration for many female scientists. She created the first portable X-ray machine, which was used to examine wounded soldiers.

She also came up with the brilliant idea of radium. Thorium was discovered by Curie while testing various elements for radioactivity. Additionally, she created the pitch blend, a substance that provided radiation for a mixture that was more potent than uranium or thorium. With the development of radioactive materials, she has earned the nickname "the mother of the atom bomb."

Marie Curie is someone that I look up to. In a society where there is an unseen to obvious gender discrimination, woman might think that they are not as great as of men. As we noticed, most of the scientists recognized and well known by everyone are men such as Isaac newton, Michael Faraday, Galileo Galilei and the list goes on. We tend to memorize and study their work at school. We admire them so much for being a genius. However, female scientists like Marie Curie are not even familiar to us despite their significant contributions to our modern world today.

As a woman in the medical field, I was inspired by how Marie Curie made a way to cure and prolong life through her invention. Yes, I admit that inventing something that could contribute greatly to the society is somewhat impossible in my perspectives. However, it is not about aiming great, it is the small thing that matters. I can still help to cure and prolong life like Marie Curie did but through the different ways.

However, despite her brilliant ideas, tireless efforts, and patience in the thorough trials she conducted, radiation damage caused by her own invention ultimately led to her death in 1934. But this does not mean that she created her own death, but she created life for the people today.

Unrequited Curaday Content!

She comes to my door at night. I hear her in the darkness, and can only guess her intentions. Only once did I catch her entering my room. Had I actually been asleep, who can say what she might have done?

Scythe Faraday now knew that Scythe Curie had no malicious intent when she’d watched him in his slumber, and was rather just a lovestruck girl, pining for her older mentor. Years, nay, decades, had passed since those tender moments of bottled fear and raw emotion, and many things had changed. Scythe Faraday was no longer the young man he once was, and now had a corner behind him. He liked to think of himself as older and wiser now, but knew he wasn’t. For as soon as he turned that damned corner, he felt all his younger, more spry emotions coursing through his veins, those of passion, foolishness. And all those emotions came crashing over him when he saw Marie Curie at conclave.

He hadn’t seen her since turning his corner, and he could tell she’d recently turned hers as well. God, she’s gorgeous!

Curie had done her makeup for the day, lavender eyeshadow on her eyelids and thick black eyeliner. As a younger person, Marie had always loved doing her makeup, one of the only indulgences Faraday would allow. He knew she never wore it anymore except for special occasions, like conclave or when he was invited to a holiday dinner with her family.

“Hello, Your Honor,” Marie greeted with a small wave.

“And hello to you too.” Faraday figured a compliment couldn’t be bad. “You look stunning today,”

“Thank you, Michael!” She said, flattered. “I just turned my corner yesterday for the occasion, so I thought that, hey, might as well look a little fancy. Besides, it’s the day of indulgence.”

“Speaking of indulgence… Did they make donuts or cupcakes for the midmorning break?”

Turns out, cupcakes. Turns out, Scythe Curie’s cupcake was a perfect lavender taste, with a lime vanilla buttercream (the same lavender color as the cupcake) and filled with a sweet jam and topped with silver pearls. According to her, his was a deep dark chocolate coated in white chocolate ganache, adorned with gold leaf, and filled with marshmallow. Faraday was supposed to eat the Faraday cupcake, and Curie the Curie cupcake, but they’d illegally traded.

“Commandment 11,” Faraday joked, licking his fingers. “Thou shalt not trade the custom cupcakes.”

“I’m sure we’re not the first scythes to do it, and I’m sure we won’t be the last,” Curie chuckled.

Faraday noticed how pink and rosy her cheeks were, and the freckles dotting her nose. She looked exceptionally pretty today, and wasn’t sure if he should continue to point it out, or just leave her alone. There was just something about her today that made his heart speed up, and made him want to hide from her in shyness.

After conclave, he continued to think about these feelings, but kept coming to puzzling conclusions. He recognized that he was attracted to Scythe Curie- that much was true. But why? He’d never harbored any feelings for her before this corner turning, and it was against the commandments to have feelings for anyone, especially another scythe. And he immediately wanted to stomp the feelings out of him, crush them. He remembered a line from a mortal age musical about this, only in that musical, the character was trying to repress their own homosexuality. Faraday just needed to imagine his brain was tiny boxes, and find the box that’s attracted to Curie and crush it.

But it was harder said than done. Because, no matter how hard he tried, he still found himself yearning for the lavender scythe, who he talked to in his free time over the Thunderhead. He felt like telling her about his emotional struggle, and so he did so.

I’m an unhonrable scythe, Marie. I have caught feelings for someone and my heart is breaking over it, because I know we can never be together. How would, or how do, you deal with this?

Uh

I don’t

And cry

Sorry

Since that wasn’t much of a help, and the pesky feelings couldn’t seem to convince themselves to go away, Faraday formulated a dangerous plan. He knew he would be breaking the ninth commandment, but he wouldn’t get caught… would he? The scythedom couldn’t possibly care so much about one scythe going down to the local florist’s, buying a bouquet, and confessing, could they? It would just be him entertaining a boyish fantasy. Yes, the scythedom wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about him doing this. Because he knew he was likely to go nowhere.

When he walked into the flower shop, jaws dropped to the floor and the florist was groveling at his feet, so terrified of gleaning.

“Your honor… please spare me! I just had a baby…”

Faraday took a moment to think of how to address the florist, not being able to determine if they identified as one gender or the other. So, he defaulted to, “Your Honor, I’m not here to glean you. I just want flowers.”

The florist looked up to him with relief and tears in their eyes. “Really?”

“Really. I’ll take… roses, I suppose. Red, please.”

The shop owner obediently cut his roses, and then asked, “Your Honor, sir, why did you call me Your Honor when it is a title only reserved to scythes?”

“Well,” Faraday laughed nervously. “I wasn’t sure if I should call you ma’am or sir, so I used something gender neutral. Us scythes may be bringers of death…” He despised that he’d just said that. Scythes were supposed to be the bringers of light, not death and darkness. But, it was for the sake of making this all seem less awkward. “...But we try our best to be respectful of our fellow citizens.”

The florist smiled uncomfortably. “Here are you roses, sir.”

And so he left, carrying the roses out with him, and catching a publicar to the MidMerican border, where he’d see Scythe Marie Curie.

He arrived on her doorstep, stuffing the bouquet in an empty weapons pocket, and knocking on the door.

She greeted him, looking as perfect as always. Her face appeared softer today than when he’d last seen her, her hair tied back in a messy braid. “Oh, hello, Michael! I wasn’t expecting a custody today,” she blushed, and that was when Faraday noticed she was in a nightgown, slightly paler than her robe, and wasn’t even wearing socks.

“Marie, may I have a word? Feel free to put on your robes first.”

“No, it’s fine,” Marie smiled. “It’s my day off, no robes for me. So, what did you want to have a word about?”

Faraday figured he’d just get to the point as he pulled the bouquet out of his robe, presenting them to Marie with a blush on his face.

But she didn’t seem that pleased. In fact, the corners of her mouth turned down. “Michael, what is this?”

“Marie, ever since we turned our corners, I’ve felt-“

“Is this a love confession?”

“...Yes,” Faraday admitted. You could have cut the tension in the room with a knife, as the feelings were clearly not reciprocated from the way Curie was acting.

“Your Honor, frankly, I’m a little insulted,” Curie said, which made him flinch. Your Honor was such a cold term. “You think just because I had a crush on you when I was a girl means you can waltz up to me now with a bouquet of roses and expect me to say yes?”

“No, Marie, it’s not like that!” He cried. “I promise it has nothing to do with when you were seventeen. I love you now, for who you are now. A strong, powerful woman.”

“Well, I’m not a little girl anymore,” she told him harshly. “We are scythes. If I were to accept your offer, we could both get in severe trouble, and it’s not worth risking for someone I no longer love.” She stood up, towering over him at an imposing 6’1. “I’m sorry, Faraday. But I could never date another scythe. It’s not worth losing my job over. And, most importantly, I don’t love you.” She looked to him with tears in her eyes. “Now leave.”

And he did, throwing his bouquet down on the doorstep and walking away with nothing but embarrassment, shame, and a broken heart.

Jeri: They call me coffee because I grind so fine ;)

Greyson: Oh my god.

Faraday: They call me coffee cause I keep you up past 2am.

Curie: Faraday, not you too.

Rowan: They call me coffee-

Citra: Please no-

Rowan: Because I’m dark and bitter and most people don’t like me without changing some aspect of who I am.

Citra: Oh

Conversation

Curie: Faraday made me call people and tell them he was dead to see how they’d react.

[flashback]

Faraday: Is he crying?

Curie: A little.

Faraday: You should be wailing, you stone cold bitch! Now call my other apprentice.

Faraday: We are not mad. We are just disappointed.

Curie: No, we are mad.

Faraday: Yes. We are. We are livid. But we are going to let this one slide.

Curie: No, we’re not!

Faraday: I am not a mind reader, Curie!

My thoughts on the toll which has made me wanna fight Mr Neal Shusterman in a Tesco

Greyson is new age jesus

iconic

Jeri my favourite genderfluid captain

iconic

and their crew is so supportive and the RESPECT

Faradays assisstant is not my favourite but that could be the self hate talking

my babies were deadish FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS

Goddard as always fight me sir

oh and Citra calling him out for some of the disasters that occured was fucking beautiful

i was like yes girl drag him

he'd kill me in seconds but i'd go down insulting him and take pride in it

Rand bringing back Tyger made me sob

Like thank you Rand for making Goddard die and stabbing him and everything

but that just made everything all the better cause I missed him and his bitch boy antics

and the fact she's been going to see like the simulation of him despite the fact he doesn't know her :(((((((((

"Where are you, my dear Marie?" IM SORRY

THE YEARING IN THESE WORDS

Can someone stop fucking seperating my babies please and thank you? Specifically you mr neal sir

Jeri and Greyson are so good together omg

both of them also kinda being in love with Citra. BIG MOOD

my boy faraday was severly depressed after finding out the love of his life and his children were probably dead and I wanted to hug him

The whole tonists in Africa section made me physically sick

ROWAN AND CITRA NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO FARADAY

however the reunion between my babies was great

i almost threw my book

the scythe who just wanted to be left alone to be beautiful is an icon

and Citra just being like OH YOU FUCKING UGLY GOD made me cackle

I do wish there was more Rowan POV it felt like it was a afterthought for the book

also Rowan just abdonding his family for space

which i only have a problem with cause he joined the lone star region is part to protect them but then just runs soooo

Thunderhead making another thunderhead sections were fucking fascinating

scythe morrison got so much better from the last book omg

loriana is a queen

GREYSON CALLING THE THUNDERHEAD UNSAVORY

HE ESSENTIALLY CALLED GOD UNSAVORY

ill say it again

ICON

also the FAILSAFE WTF ORIGINAL SCYTHES

I mean

its definetley better than people MURDERING OTHERS but still

faraday doing sympathy gleanings just magnificant

In conclusion, I wanna fight the dude who did this to me, in a Tesco, specifically in aisle 7. However, this series i think is probably in my top 5 series I've ever read. I thought the characters were extremely well developed. And it really just shows both the good and the bad in humantiy, especially with the fact that I'm not sure this future is entierly impossible with the way AI is probably gonna go
