I may have figured out roughly what year Scythe takes place in.

So I got bored in the shower one day and did all the math to figure out when Scythe takes place. Now I am no mathematician, and there's a good chance I missed a detail or two somewhere, plus I did a lot of rounding, but here's what I gathered.

Let's start from the beginning. We know thanks to Scythe Curie's journal that everything sort of started in 2042, and actually I have Scythe Curie to thank for most of the numbers I got for this.

When Scythe Curie is telling Citra about her past with Faraday in the first book, she says that it had been about 50 years since the Thunderhead gained consciousness when she was an apprentice/ordained, so the year then would've been 2092. (This also means she was born in 2075 since she was 17 at the time.) Afterwards, she says that she and Faraday started their "seven years" roughly another 50 years after that, so we can say that that year was 2142, a century after the Thunderhead came about. After that, we know Curaday were in a relationship for 7 years, followed by 70 years of being apart, which places us at 2219. Here we run into a problem, as it's never explicitly stated how long it's been since then (iirc).

However, Scythe Faraday also gives us some help. In the first chapter Faraday states that he's "around 180," so I'm gonna go ahead and say he's 175-185 years old. As you can see, this is the part where we have to make the numbers a bit more vague thanks to lack of detail.

If we do the math, then Scythe Faraday would've been 149 once the 70 years were up, in 2219. If we subtract that from his current age, that puts the year in Scythe (or the year of the Ocelot) as somewhere between 2245-2255.

All this to say that Scythe Alighieri would've been a 2000s-2010s kids and probably WOULD remember the mortal age, so he's either lying about his age or how much he remembers. Or Neal Shusterman just got the timeline a little confused, happens to the best of us

What u mean marie curie died in the end of the second book???

She survived and lives happily married with Michael and her adopted children Citra and Rowan.

I have no idea why you would think she died, you must have misread that.

when your mentor is basically your mom and best friend and used to date your other mentor for like 7 years; so you basically have divorced parents who are still in love

the night faraday “gleaned himself” citra and rowan noted that it wasn’t unusual for faraday to have late nights out and i desperately wanna know what they entailed. where was this guy going?

[vvallent1ne]

bitches be like “i love my man” and the man is fictional, extremely mentally ill, has weird hair, and probably has adopted some strays along the way

it’s me. i’m bitches.

- AIZAWA, gojo satoru, VICTOR VALE!!, kaz brekker, slenderman (hear me out), scythe faraday, IDEN!!!!!! (see explanation below)

so anyways here’s my nonchalant (non-dread having sadly) king 😊

btw did i mention i created him in my head VSJAUDGDW

Me when my teacher mentions Marie Curie in physics:

i have realized i failed to clarify that what i meant by "is faraday fine" is not "is he okay?" but "is this man fine as hell or" And i am sorry i wasn't more clear LMAO

[sankta-wraith]

Friendly reminder that Faraday stares wistfully at Curie during Conclaves

Do you think non-Arc of a Scythe people ever see posts about it and wonder shit like "Damn why are these people hating on Robert Goddard" or "Why are people shipping Michael Faraday and Marie Curie"

I sometimes forget what a lowkey bitch scythe faraday is:

He stepped inside citras home

Demanded a meal

Insulted her perents' jobs

Stole a knife and left

Like wtf

[thebrainofocto]

I've not yet finished book one, BUT.

He's a wet cat of a man and he has stolen my mind
