AOAS is actually so weird out of context. The main baddie is literally from mars, he killed an entire planet, was beheaded, and then started wearing one of the MC’s best friend’s body like the other 17% of the headless horseman for the ~drama~. One of the main driving plot points of the first book is Mars Man kidnapping Basically The President’s daughter and forcing the MC to babysit her against his will while he studies to get his license to kill. My man floods Basically NATO with mind-controlled sharks and yells “lol nope, u thought” while watching world leaders get eaten from a helicopter. The B-plot is New Jesus trying to navigate the intricacies of religion and developing a dysfunctional-ass found family that consists of his tour manager, a stubborn but devout theatre kid, a jean-cloaked ex-killer, and Robot God. He falls in love with a sexy sea captain who gets possessed by Robot God bc it’s in love. There’s deep talks about nature and morality of humanity. The two MC’s bang while dying of hypothermia while sinking to the bottom of the ocean. This isn’t even half of it.

Please read this whole post, there’s no meme or catch to this, I’m not staying quiet on this.

this is the first post I’m making about Neal Shusterman’s recent actions - the second is about AI art usage, but this is so, so much more important.

Neal being complicit in the genocide that is occurring currently in Palestine and Gaza. Neal seems to have just gotten back from a book tour promoting a graphic novel he wrote, called Courage to Dream, which is about the Holocaust. He sent an email to everyone subscribed to his online newsletter.

Neal took this as an opportunity to state that he saw how “both sides” - both Israel and Palestinians - were doing things he did not condone, and that he would be remaining neutral.

Obviously Neal isn’t wrong in some of his wording, but what he’s fundamentally trying to say here is wrong and harmful. It doesn’t take someone who has lived through genocide to recognize that a genocide is happening. Genocide is a complex topic, but not in a “both sides should be shown kindness” way. It is complex in the fact that this has been going on for years, that history is repeating itself, and that people in positions of power are so easily falling for Zionist and colonialist propaganda because of their own bigotry and bias against those living in Palestine. How did you just go on tour promoting a book about the stories of people who were being targeted and killed in a genocide, and your first statement upon returning from that tour is to email all the subscribers of your newsletter that you’re “not qualified” to talk about genocide, and that you’re refusing to support the people being eradicated? Why did you write a book about genocide in the first place if you didn’t think you were qualified to talk about it? How do you write a whole graphic novel detailing the stories of people in what is the most known genocide in modern history and not see that Israel is trying to wipe Palestinians off the map?

Being opposed to genocide isn’t a simplistic opinion. It’s fucking common sense.

Arc of a Scythe Incorrect quotes pt 3 Aka Me Seeing How Many Tags I Can Slap Onto a Single Post pt 3

Faraday: I have a new hoodie.

Curie: Wrong. WE have a new hoodie.

Citra: Why are your tongues purple?

Faraday: We had slushies. I had a blue one.

Curie: I had a red one.

Citra: Oh.

Citra: OH.

Rowan: You drank each other's slushies?

Citra: Ya'll always talk about E-boy this and E-girl that, but no one wants to talk about the E-conomy. Marican capitalism is a fundamentally flawed system-

Constantine: BEHOLD! The field in which I grow my f*cks! Lay thine eyes upon it and thou shalt see that it BARREN!

Mandela: If you got arrested, what would be the charges?

Citra: Theft.

Curie: Disturbing the peace.

Faraday: Aggravated assut.

Morrison: Arson

Rowan. All the above. In that order, probably.

Goddard: You know what? You're in timeout! GET ON TOP OF THE FRIDGE! GET UP THERE!!!

Rowan: *Climbing on top of the refrigerator* THIS HOUSE IS A F*CKING NIGHTMARE!!!!!

Greyson: *Alone in his room and talking to the Thunderhead* You are my da-ad! YOU'RE MY DAD! Boogy woogy-woogy!

Volta: Do not come over to my room. If the room is on fire, you may knock once, if I don't answer, assume I set the fire and I want to burn to death.

Greyson: No, this is not a mess. You know what I consider a mess?

Thunderhead: Your life?

Greyson: I- well, yes, but-

Scythe ocs Incorrect quotes!

Newton: Did you get the eggs like I asked?

Bly: Even better!

Newton: What the f*ck did you-

Bly: *Holds up chicken* Her name is Fluffy.

Bly: Honk.

Newton: WHAT?

Bly: HONK!

Newton: WHAT THE F*CK DOES HONK MEAN THIS TIME, YOU WHIMSICAL PIECE OF SH*T!!?

Scythe Characters As Weird Shit My Friends And I Say Because I Can

Curie, standing on a stepladder: You don't have to be straight, the clock has to be straight.

Citra: Well that's rude. The clock can be whatever it wants to be.

Rowan: Let the clock love who it wants to love!

Rand: I was just giving a detailed explanation of how you suck it.

Volta: I'm gonna crash this fucking car.

Chomsky: Sometimes you just gotta do it and see what happens.

Volta: You knew what would happen! It blew up!

Mentor! Faraday: She's attacking me!

Apprentice! Curie: I'm hugging you.

Rowan: Do-nut order donuts.

Citra: I hate you.

Goddard: My god, Xenocrates! There's a fuck you!

Tyger: Wow, my head really just flew across the room.

Rand: I'm taking your silence as a sign I should kill the child.

Rowan, to Citra: Did you die? Guess I'll die too.

Greyson, gesturing proudly at Jeri: Nonbinary noodle!

Faraday, in the middle of a thought: -ledge.

Munira: Ledge?

Faraday, nodding: Ledge.

I think this is an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really feel bad for Scythe Volta? He chose to follow Goddard and continued with the mass gleanings despite knowing it was wrong. He gleaned an entire classroom full of children when he could have just... not done that.

He was under pressure from Goddard and it's incredibly hard to break away from an abuser (especially one so charismatic who presents themself as "reasonable") but Volta still made his choices as a scythe with immense power and responsibility in his hands.

He certainly didn't deserve the ending he got, but my feelings about him are pretty neutral. What is it that people love about him? /gen

I find him interesting as a case study about how pressure from society can drive people to do unspeakable things, because scythes are very forcefully taught that what they do is what's best for humanity. They have to justify it to themselves however they can in order to sleep at night, but right before Volta dies, he finally questions all that and realizes that Goddard's elegy aren't what scythes are supposed to be.

It's fantastic that a "volta" is the turning point in a poem, and Scythe Volta's death is the final straw towards Rowan killing Goddard and becoming Scythe Lucifer.

Have you ever noticed, that the first three letters of Goddard’s name is “God”? You know what else has “God” as their first three letters in their name? Godzilla.

Goddard likes to destroy buildings and ruin people’s lives. You know who also likes to destroy buildings and ruin people’s lives? Godzilla.

Goddard has zero balls to actually do anything good. You know who also has zero balls? Godzilla.

Goddard became more aggressive when his body changed during the Thunderhead and the Toll. You know who also got pissed when their entire body changed? Godzilla.

People are scared of Goddard but you know who else people are scared of? Godzilla.

My conclusion is Goddard is secretly Godzilla in disguise. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

stupid quirks i noticed in scythe

i should be asleep rn, but instead i’m up talking about random things i noticed in a book

1. citra curls herself into a ball when stressed. she does it twice as far as i know (once in scythe, once in toll) and i think it’s amazing

2. rowan is ironically a champagne drinker

3. chomsky is the type of person to say “im so telling mom” when his sibling does something bad

4. rand. thank you, goodnight

5. goddard has long nails. he’s fabulous and i love him

6. finally, this may just be my dumb brain rambling but goddards robe is blue and rands is green. green and blue are complimentary colors. was this maybe a conscious decision on rands part?

also Neal shusterman or someone on his social media team is doing shady shit involving AI art

Separating this from the post about Neal taking a “neutral” (complicit) stance on genocide, since art thievery and falsely crediting an artist is much, much less harmful than encouraging people to stay silent about the genocide in Palestine.

On December 7th, 2023, Neal Shusterman made this post to his various social media accounts - I took the screenshot from his Twitter.

Neal does fanart promotion all the time, so this was nothing out of the ordinary for him, except that even though I’ve only read half of Gleanings, I could immediately tell that this wasn’t a character from Gleanings, with the obvious clue being that Rowan is the only character in the series to have ever worn a black robe, and this clearly isn’t supposed to be him.

You’ll notice I blurred the artist’s name here - I did that intentionally so they don’t face harassment from people who didn’t read my post closely enough, but if you want to support her work you can easily find this post on Neal’s socials and get her username (while it’s linked on all of his social medias, the username corresponds to an Instagram account).

To me, this post screamed AI generated artwork, and the more I looked into it, the worse it seemed to get. The cover of the copy of Gleanings in that “photo” is in German - the artist Neal credited does not seem to speak any German whatsoever. In that case, why would they pick a copy of Gleanings in a language they don’t speak to overlay this art? The artist Neal credited never posted this piece of artwork, although they had made a different piece of fanart for the series that was in a completely different style to this one. The style of the piece of AOAS fanart the artist posted THEMSELVES had a completely different art style from the art Neal credited them with.

I ended up reaching out to the artist and asked if they had actually drawn this art piece, or if they knew who did. They responded today.

(My message before I sent the screenshot to them was apologizing for confusing wording in my original messages, and the fact Instagram’s crappy messaging system never sent them the art piece I was asking about in the first place. This confused the artist, which is partially my fault since I used a translator app to translate my message into their native language, which I’m sure screwed up grammar somewhere. I wanted to make sure they knew I wasn’t accusing THEM of using AI, but rather suspecting someone was using AI and saying they drew the AI generated art.)

So, Neal, or someone who manages his social media, put this artist in a damn hard spot and told everyone that the artist made something that was made by AI. And again, absolutely no hate or disrespect to the artist, they didn’t know this was happening and they were very kind and understanding. If you do seek out their account, give them a follow!
