I covered one of my dorm's wall with sticky notes with my favorite book quotes and I LOVE IT

Obviously there are a few Jem Carstairs and Stellan Gios quotes because they are my most beloved.

Religion in Arc of A Scythe Trilogy

I think that religion would still exist in some parts of the world, but it would be slightly altered from the original

Theres no one to pray to anymore for times of sickness, health, prosperity and protection (because everything there is controlled by statistics)

Crime rate is lessened(dk if their theory is that mood swings lead to crime, people can be mean even when using logic)

Loss of significance of death-> means theres plenty of time to pursue your dreams (and humans being humans, will either procrastinate on said dreams, or take time for granted)

I think the existence of the Thunderhead would affect the concept of God, and your relationship with Him

Maybe some rites and rituals still survive post- modification, like burning the funeral pyre, burial, and whatnot

My point is that I dont actually believe religion is fully obsolete in the Scythe World, remnants of it still remain, just that those who still do would likely be in the minority

man.. rereading the arc of a scythe trilogy!!!!

[theeducatedbaguette]

THE SCENE OF ALL TIME WITH THE CHARACTER OF ALL TIMEE

“Well, which is it?”

“Can’t you see the answer is both?”

[fictional-library-tournament]

Prelims round 2, poll 3

Propaganda:

Sazed's Copperminds, Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson:

Copper bracers called copperminds that contain many, many forbidden books. They are accessible only to Sazed, a scholar specialising in religion and also a member of the Skaa rebellion.

‼️MAJOR SPOILERS‼️

At the end of the trilogy, the world is literally about the end, and Sazed becomes a god and uses the knowledge in his copperminds to fix/remake the world.

ART's archives, The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells:

"My onboard archives are extensive. Why haven't you sought access to them?" Of course a research vessel would brag about its research library. Why wouldn't it?

Sunai, The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Cando:

He contains a living AI god referred to as an Archive. He is a relic who can interface with other archives and falls in love with a cute boy when he normally runs away from all attempts at intimacy and keeps being like oh? I...like him?

Merlin's Library, The Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne:

None

The Scholomance Library, A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik:

The library inside the Scholomance is so cool. It’s open to a void above, and is the safest place inside the entire school. The sections are mostly in the same place every time. But the shelves can stretch out and fill up with more books

The Thunderhead, Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman:

It contains the collective knowledge of humanity and is a perfect, almost-sapient AI that doesn’t follow the “utopia is actually dystopia” trope

[quirkle2]

books i love books *scrambles over to my collection*

arc of a scythe by neal shusterman: a dystopian/utopian trilogy plus short story collection, humans have conquered death so it's up to a chosen few to keep the population in check. really makes you think about life and stuff

the tripods by john christopher: post-apocalyptic trilogy plus prequel, learning how to escape from and eventually drive out an alien race who have conquered earth and brainwashed all humankind into being their docile neighbors. on the older side but it was the shit when i was a preteen

beyonders by brandon mull: isekai fantasy trilogy, a couple ordinary kids fall into a strange, magical kingdom ruled by an emperor who can be killed with a single word. really really cool worldbuilding

the search for wondla by tony diterlizzi: kinda post-apocalyptic kinda fantasy kinda scifi trilogy, a young girl raised solely by her robot mother finds that the earth outside her bunker isn't what it's supposed to be. more amazing worldbuilding and beautiful illustrations by the author

hopefully one of these sounds interesting to you, totally cool if not!

OOOOO arc of a scythe especially sounds rly cool,, ill put these on the list ty!!!

[scythe-fan]

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).

[triforce-of-mischief]

I think it'll depend on what kind of influence Christianity had by the time the Age of Mortality ended, and how much the Scythedom actually cares about it. Most immortals view religion as something with positives and negatives, but overall something that's a relic of a time long gone (with the exception of the Tonists). How much do they know, or care, about the difference between Jesus as a historical figure and as a biblical one? Will the name of Scythe Christ go to a man who wants peace or power?

I wonder if humanity ever progressed far enough that one day, a young scythe-to-be wanted to call himself Honorable Scythe Christ. What agreement would the higher-ups come to? Since religion is obsolete, is Jesus an acceptable Patron Historic? Even in the Age of Mortality, many people just saw him as a historical figure. Would the Scythedom agree, and allow Scythe Christ to choose that name? Would they see that desire as too dangerous, possibly leading to a path like Scythe Goddard chose, gathering followers in an attempt to change the world? Or would they come to a stalemate, unsure if anybody should take that name ever again due to all of the previous worship and hatred associated with it? 

And if the Thunderhead was allowed to, what would it think?

[corvidcrafts273]

can we talk about how most people in Arc of A Scythe trilogy(will refer as Scythe trilogy in future) are depressed?

Like we've got an AI (the Thunderhead) that basically takes care of everything, writing your stories, developments in research, doing your work for you, music, everything in that world is controlled by a supercomputer that tells you what to do

Plus the population is essentially immortal due to nano-antibodies

I mean, no wonder a lot of people used to go bungee jumping and perform life-threatening stuff all the time, cuz if

1. Your existence is futile because someone else is already doing your work (maybe this is why I liked it when Citras father immediately came at his wifes defense when Scythe Faraday offhandedly mentioned that most jobs were obsolete)

2. No concept of a religion anymore cuz if immortal, then the whole significance of death is rendered useless,people take lives for granted, (probably why scythes were introduced)

3. These folk are in SERIOUS NEED of healthy stimuli, i kid you not

And all of this is hidden under the ethics of murder :)
