Scythe Volta and Rowan fanart from a little bit ago that I forgot to post. I love arc of a scythe so, so much and I highly recommend reading it. I'm not even an avid reader, yet I've enjoyed these books to no end

I’ve been wondering something for so long but what happens to the autistic people in scythe? Like would technology have cured them or would technology advance so they don’t struggle? ( no clue how that would work seems impossible) I’m just so curious and it’s been on my brain for ages.

Was debating posting this because they’re part of a bigger collection of my Scythe OCs and they’re kind of the weirdo, but cringe culture is dead so say hi to Scythe Stauber guys

Volta: Go and ask Goddard for $10 or else I'll punch you in the head and maybe add a bit of cyber-bullying

Rowan: I'm on an overdraft with Goddard right now how about $5 and you drop the cyber-bullying

Volta: How about $7.50 and I don't add a noogie in as well

Rowan: Will you take dollar bills and quarters?

Goddard: Alessandro, just ask me for $10 why are you dragging him into this

Volta: Because he lets me

Rowan: I have an option?

Volta: You're getting a black eye

Book reviewwwww

Scythe by Neal Shusterman. probably spelled that wrong, but I can’t be bothered to verify. Anyway, 6.5/10

Let’s start with the list of things I liked, because that one’s shorter.

you guys better give this notes cause it takes an embarrassingly long time for my dyslexic ass to write a 1k word review with everything almost everything spelt right.

SPOILERS BELOW

Goddard died, thank goodness he was starting to get on my nerves

Faradays alive, fucking called it

the thunderhead is very intriguing I want to know more about it. Every dystopian setting has to have ‘its thing’ to set it apart, which ironically makes them similar. The thunderhead should be a plot hole ridden cliche but it stands out, because it’s very carefully written. We don’t know much about it but whatever we do know just piques one’s curiosty even further. 10/10 writing in that respect

Faraday and Curie’s romance ??? Come onnn

The goddamned High Blade himself has an illegitimate daughter. I have a love hate relationship with the dystopian genre because the mcs are usually the only ‘woke’ ones who start the revolution but here the entire frickin sycthedom is corrupted and they all know it. But nobody wants to do anything because then all hell will break loose which is exactly what we saw at the end of the book

what I didn’t like ( don’t come at me ) :

Okay, why were both citra and rowan bland as hell ? They both have exactly one personality trait. Rowan never shuts up about being the lettuce like that makes him special - have you ever heard of this concept called being the middle child buddy ? - and citra’s whole thing is that she’ll always say whatever she’s thinking. You and me both but at least that’s not my whole personality girl.

I WANT MORE BACKSTORY ABOUT THE AGE OF MORTALITY AND THE THUNDERHEADS WAY OF GOVERNING AND NANITES AND REVIVAL CENTERS AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AND CELEBRITIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND I DIDNT GET IT. It wasn’t even to build suspense or anything it was just sloppy world building. And before you tell me an author can’t write a 700page novel, first off yes they can and second the first half of the book dragged on so much that I nearly gave up on reading it. Some of that could’ve been sacrificed for actual world building and plot.

Rowan and Citra kissed once, one time and basically the next time they have a conversation they’re proclaiming their love for each other ? And Citra had absolutely no proof that rowan hadn’t been corrupted, the guy snapped her neck, seemingly participated in goddards massacres ‘willingly’ and then she’d just heard that he shot a family member in the head during his test before the instructions were fully given. Why the hell would she just let him go ?

the way people react to scythes changed drastically from start to finish. People just went from terrified grovelling to just showing up to their parties ? What happened to ‘you never know if a scythe is just gathering people to glean them ? Especially Goddard who’s known for mass gleaning.

if the thunderhead had indeed done away with everything that was harming humanity then why didn’t it get rid of the concept of celebrities ? Consumerism still seems to exist. It’s got more cons than pros. Why isn’t there AI law enforcement that can’t succumb to bias ?

The klunky world building deserves another mention because it really pissed me off

If Goddard ( bad guy ) was smart enough to have cronies that hung on to his every word, then why couldn’t Faraday, Curie etc ( supposed good guys ) also rally together and secure allies so that they’d be ready when the inevitable uprising arrived ?

okay I know some of this is because of ‘undisclosed plot purposes ^TM’ but it could’ve been done better. That is all. Goodbye

*Spoilers for The Toll by Neal Shusterman*

so i don’t know if this is intentional or not, but something i realised in my last reread was that for the majority of female characters, their ending consists of taking back their agency, having their own narratives.

i.e. :

scythe rand - kills goddard, becomes more than a footnote in his story

astrid - sister astrid becomes mother astrid; no longer serving the toll, off to build her own community

munira - "no *i’ll* make sure"

citra is helpless and a bit dead of course, but it's a good contrast to how much drive and agency she has in the rest of the series. she's spent the entire time saving other people, now she's being saved (ish).

the scene of rowan standing next to her dead body on the ship is also so important bc he's always been willing to sacrifice himself but in that moment he realises that she wouldn't want that, he needs to learn how to not sacrifice and instead focus that energy into something else (being captain of the ship, in cirrus’ opinion).

rowan doesn't know how to be powerful and citra doesn't know how to be helpless so this shows that leaving earth and the scythedom behind is giving them character growth because finally, they are freed from the roles they’ve played since the start of book 1- rowan the damned, citra the saviour.

again, i don’t know if this is intentional but it feels like a subversion/reversal of traditional gender roles (think “damsel in distress”). this is something that other ya dystopian novels have also done (i.e. the hunger games by suzanne collins; katniss is more traditionally “masculine” and peeta is more traditionally “feminine”), so it may be something of the trope? not that scythe is a dystopian novel but you get what i mean.

this post was inspired by a conversation with the amazing @thetonethetollandthethunder

I don't know if someone has already asked you but, what is your favorite scene in the trilogy?

it’s super hard to pick just one scene so i’ll just name a few

1. the scene where curie tells citra about her relationship with faraday. i LOVE this scene. im obsessed w curaday so i think i just think it’s rlly cute.

2. the first conclave scene. i like this one in particular just because it’s rlly interesting to see how conclaves operate and how other scythes interact with one another.

3. literally any scene w faraday in the toll. “the toll” era faraday broke my heart omg i felt so bad for him. seeing him so heartbroken was awful :/

4. the coffee shop scene with citra, faraday, curie, and munira. i love this scene bc i love seeing curie and faraday interact (i’m obsessed w curaday).
