Ugh I Cant Wait Until Fall To Read A Curse For True Love. Thats Too Long. Why Did I Do This To Myself

Ugh I can’t wait until fall to read A Curse For True Love. That’s too long. Why did I do this to myself 😫😫

Scythe Thoughts

Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I think Citra is Scythe Faradays favorite

I don’t trust this “Thunderhead” thing, anything can be corrupted.

Also isn’t a scythe’s family getting immunity playing favorites or showing bias?

The world is not much different if the power of death is in the hands of people. what makes Scythes different from politicians, dictators, and presidents? They controlled armies and humans died serving those armies so they controlled their death. And Scythes total have control over lives of people, makes them worst in my opinion

Humanity can’t know everything, like what about the universe? The Big Bang? Aliens? What’s inside a black hole?

They say that governments are gone but isn’t Thunderhead a sort of government? It makes laws and keeps people in line, the whole world is literally being ruled by an AI and they don’t even know it.

Why do I like those Scythes who killed the entire plane? Like they seem chaotically funny

Do people still believe in religion? And stuff like that, cuz it wasn’t clear. There was a wedding but if people don’t believe in religion how did the ceremony work?

Are different cultures still thing or-?

Being a Scythe sounds annoying like you can’t wear pretty clothes, you can’t go out ,you can’t do normal stuff that once did and I don’t see why anyone would want to give it up, like can you even eat what you want? They make it seem like an honorable position but comes with less benefits and more trauma

Also how are they past the age of mortality when they can literally be killed? Like at one point they’re going to be chosen, they just don’t die naturally and live longer. With our modern medicine we live longer than people did in the Middle Ages so really it isn’t that much different.

These people are being ruled over by an AI and they don’t even know it, they think this Thunderhead is better or whatever than AIs portrayed in movies but I highly doubt it, I like technology but I wouldn’t trust it with my life

Also what’s the ship name for Citra and Rowan? (I know they end up together but that’s all I know)

Hightlights

(I decided this would be a better way to do it since Tumblr won’t let me mass post my million highlights)

Wait that would mean he’s the youngest sibling, idk why felt the end to me mention it as I realized

It was never elaborated on in the show so i must mention it here. Aleksander has siblings. I think most of the people in this fandom know this anyway but this is for those who don’t.

Baghra didn’t just happen to have one child who inherited her powers off the bat. She had been trying to have a child for one, maybe two, reasons, and they were that she was 1. bored 2. wanted a child with her powers so she could basically control them too.

She had many kids who didn’t have her powers, and abandoned them, until she had Aleksander, who she kept (and very obviously abused.)

I see posts saying how she’s such a girlboss and a good mother for some reason, but a woman who abandons all the children who aren’t useful to her, and manipulates and abuses the one that is, is neither of those things.

jacks gladly enchanting tella to love him when she wouldnt do it willingly vs. jacks being hurt and tearing up when evangeline suggested her feelings for him were only because of the mirth stone the parallels are so 😭 😭 😭

people who hate darklina dni like this post ain't for you but one thing that i am toying like a cat with yarn is the fact that Sankta Neyar has portend Alina's continued longevity as a life filled with suffering and loss. the question of what will happen to her as she outlives her own myth, in kaz's words 'usefulness', and becomes the most powerful grisha in the world who isn't bound to any man's law?

what will happen when the ravkans who love her turn on her? when ravkan royalty protect her only because she protects them? the only natural reaction to that kind of power is fear. she doomed herself into being an enforcer to an antiquated social system and maintainer of the status quo. her consolidated power can now be used as a tyrannical force for good. the existential angst being overburdened by freedom. perpetual violence as a means of survival. Alina unmaking the Darkling's image of her and creating her own, haunted by the ghosts of a failed revolution.

I just finished the first book in the Arc of A Scythe, it was too good. Posts about to coming up soon
