Back to School Readathon 2023

Starting a few days after the fall semester starts for my university, Liv is helping to host another readathon, except that this one is not 24 hours, its almost a week long! With both reading prompts and photo prompts, each based on particularly school themed events and classes, there is about to be so much going on from August 25-August 31!

Unlike the graphic novels and manga readathon, I do not plan to try to read more than the books I'm selecting for each reading prompt this time, unless I read way faster than I'm expecting! As far as the photo prompts, based on the spirit week we all know and love, we don't actually have to dress up or even have our faces in any of the photos! As mentioned in Liv's announcement video, you can simply use props to do flat lays with books, and I'll be mentioning one that I'm already planning out (and will likely take the picture super ahead of time!).

Gwen has put out some awesome movie suggestions for the "study hall" prompt as well, specifying that the prompt is just that the movie needs to take place in a school, not necessarily a dark academia or anything like that (literally you can watch High School Musical even!) and if you are a patron of Gwen, she'll be hosting a live viewing of Heathers!

While there are enough prompts for a full school day, there is no particular order required or even recommended to my knowledge of how to follow each prompt. It certainly is not expected for you to knock out more than one prompt in one day unless your second prompt is the "study hall" aka movie prompt!

Here are some examples that I had to sift through of my own books to narrow down to my final selections!

SPOILERS FOR GLEANINGS, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Ah, ~foreshadowing~

[dangosmangos]

i'm fixating on scythe again

[beautyofattolia]

Goddard: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Goddard: And Rowan. That little bastard will get you.

Scythe Goddard from the Arc of a Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman

[here-come-headcanons]

Some Scythe Morrison/Joel headcanons cause I miss him:

-Joel was so excited for his cupcake when he became an actual scythe. I mean denim robes meant denim cupcake right? A jupcake perhaps. The utter heartbreak he felt when it was just an off blue colored cupcake was unreal.

-Joel has a hard time making lasting friends. He talks to people and makes em laugh and they think hes cute which he thinks is the perfect recipe for validation! But it's not, and often he finds himself feeling empty. Goddard was the first person to make him feel validated after joining the New Order Scythes, then he realized that wasnt right either. It wasnt a true need for him. He was just a tool. That's why Greyson's proposition struck a cord with him. That's why he joined, even if he was screwed either way.

-After the whole incident on the atoll, Loriana and Joel end up being best friends. Not in a romantic way or anything. Just, genuinely best friends. They look to each other a lot for comfort in the coming travels.

[thunderhead-backbrain]

Goddard: *sinks Endura*

The Thunderhead:

[cristinablackthornkingson]

Goddard trying to threaten Greyson: Would anybody look for you if you went missing?

Greyson: I dunno, let me check. Hey Jeri!

Jeri: Yeah?

Greyson: If I went missing would you look for me?

Jeri: Yes!

Greyson: Are you sure?

Jeri: Yes!

Greyson: Okay thank you!

Unanswered questions of The Toll. The Arc of a Scythe series.

We need to start a petition or something asking Neal to please give us spin offs or novellas for Rowan and Citra (perhaps the rest of the characters too in their respective planets) Because: - What happened to Rowan in those 117 years? - What role did he play in the ship? - Did Rowan ever work on the trauma he went through since he was with Scythe Goddard? How did this affect him? - Did he become great friends with Cirrus Alpha? - Did he really stay devoted to Citra all those years? - Now he is around 136 years old and Citra is around 19, how will this affect their relationship? - What is their role in the new planet since the Thunderhead insisted so much they go? - Won't the same overpopulation problem occur in time in the new colonized planets? - Are Scythe Morrison and Loriana endgame? - What about Mother Astrid? Did she stay sane being alone for 1,683 years? - How come the "Testament of The Toll" is so ambiguous and inaccurate? (It's obvious that was from Mother Astrid's planet) - Who are Coda and Curate Symphonius? - Are Jeri and Greyson endgame too? - Did Greyson ever spoke to the Thunderhead again? - Will Tyger accept his new face? How will he react? Is he really himself? - Will Tyger fall in love with Scythe Rand again? - Will Tyger hate Scythe Rand instead when he learns what she did to him? - What happened to Munira? Did she stay with Scythe Faraday or did she go back to being a librarian in Alexandria? - Is the Thunderhead in speaking terms with humanity again? - Will the Thunderhead reinstate the Authority Interface again and employ Nimbus Agents since Scythes are no longer? - What will happen to the Tonists faith now that illness exist on earth again and death is not administered by Scythes(aka not completely natural since it is administered by nanites but not by another human)? - What was Citra trying to tell Rowan in her final moments before she went deadish? bonus since this are minor characters: - Rowan disappears unannounced, was his family truly safe with the Texas Scythes? How did they feel about Rowan/Scythe Lucifer? - What happened to Ben and Citra's parents after gone into hiding? bonus 2 prequel ideas: - The story of the founding Scythes, How did it come to the point they killed each other? How did the Scythedom and commandments came to be? - The origin story of Carson Lusk, what made him so evil? How did he get in contact with the Scythes to sabotage the space efforts or was he chosen by them? Why? If I can think of more I will do a part 2! Leave yours in the comments if you have one ;)

[sezja]

Carson Lusk deserved better

Scythe Goddard did not and does not

This is the hill I’ll die on

[beautyofattolia]

Rand: Do you take constructive criticism?

Goddard: I only take cash or credit.
