Arc Of A Scythe - Blog Posts
I mea. i totally agree that just about everyone would actually be normal but i’m pretty fine with that
I mean if you do get bored even with the nano tea while there isn’t a ton to do you can still do shit to spice up your life and make new entertainment
"i'd be a scythe" "i'd be a tonist" "i'd be a nimbus agent" well I'D like to point out that most of us are lying to ourselves. most of us would be ordinary people. i probably would be, but i don't want to imagine living forever like that because that's boring and tiring and it's hard to imagine the nanite-filled version of myself who lives that life contented by it. i want to be a scythe, but that disqualifies me from the job. but even if it didn't, i'd never want to be a scythe if that were an actual possibility because i would be a different person without the layers of fucked up that are happening in my brain chemistry. i can't even say i'd be a tonist and take my nanites out because nanite-d me wouldn't be thinking as hard as real me about who i am and whether the nanites are changing me fundamentally. so yeah. i'd be boring in the aoas universe. calling it now.
Something I noticed while rereading Scythe is how much incredible technology is just kind of not noted or in the background besides revival and corner turning. One example is how the incredible nanites aren’t talked about a lot but are amazing or how by the sounds of it they have holographic projectors and weather manipulation that just isn’t really discussed.
Arc of a scythe fandom are yall mentally ok?
Are you good?
Mainly asking because, I am not
He deserves to scream into the void as loudly as he can :)💕
Is it just me or are Jonas from The Giver and Grayson from Arc of a Scythe basically the same person in different plot lines? Like, I was genuinely thinking about making a fan fiction about this, but then I remembered that I’m still writing an original book series and I should probably publish all the books in full before I take on another writing project. Anyway, enjoy this brain seed.
tldr: Jonas from The Giver = Grayson from Arc of a Scythe
aoas/sdv au…. What are ur thoughts
THIS IS SUCH A NICHE COMBO BUT I LOVE IT
I already know damn well goddard would be morris, ignoring the fact that theres literally a scythe morrisson.
maybee the wizard as scythe faraday since they're both reclusive...
citra as abigail? I feel like abigail has the same sort of confidence/confrontational vibe that citra has.
These are just the ones I could come up with off the top of my head, LOL. Let me know what your interpretations were!!
fandomtober day THIRTEEEEEN (yes i missed 5 days in a row, exams are fun) today is AOAS!!! I really had no idea what to do for this one because theres so many moments in AOAS i'd love to draw, but I settled on doing greyson because @spl-central compiled a REALLY great post with all of greysons character descriptors, and I owe it to spl to finally draw him! I will do a proper greyson ref sheet eventually, but I have so many projects I'm doing simultaneously that it'll probably be awhile until i get to it :,)
ANYWAYS READ SCYTHE RN ITS SO GOOD
JAW DROPPED HOLY SHIT?!!!!????
this makes my job SO MUCH EASIER holy nards, THANKS SO MUCH... ironically enough, greyson was the one i planned on doing next! rn im doing goddards bunch but theyre almost done. All I need to do is color ‘em.
Greysons design does change a lot over the books, so I’ll prob do two versions- one for Slayd and one for the Toll. I’m not sure if its worth doing a third “normal” look since it’s seen so infrequently, but if theres requests for it then maybe I’ll do it.
Thank you once again!! <3
Question for Scythe fans: Anybody have specific page numbers for character descriptions? This question applies to Scythe, Thunderhead, Toll and Gleanings (although if you talk about Gleanings, pls keep it spoiler free- i havent read it yet!)
I ask this because I'm trying to make a drawing of each notable character from the series. I'll do less notable characters too if I don't lose motivation, lol.
On my drawings I want to cite the pages where their descriptions are included, but unfortunately, I didn't mark the pages as I was reading. I'm trying to go through the book right now, but it's mostly skim reading since I don't want to reread the ENTIRE book. Any help finding descriptions would be greatly appreciated!!
took a doodle break to draw a DEPRESSED OLD MAN!!! his new design is just so hot y'all i cant explain it. i need to be incarcerated.
btw to all my scythe fans, heres a WIP of the goddard ref i was doing. I promise I didn't give up on them, im just a very.. VERY slow artist LOL (and also school has been kicking my ass, as usual)
anyways go stream fionna and cake rn. only two episodes in and I'm in love with it
ref sheets for citra and rowan! I know that their outfits change periodically throughout the books, so I just tried to keep this ref sheet as their most iconic, general appearance. That's also what I'll be doing for most characters moving forward.
Anyways, the next batch of designs I plan on doing is Goddard's little group (as per request of @scottishgremlin, since they wanted to see scythe rand!)
working on some basic ref sheet stuff! @nealshustermanreal shoutout because i'm so happy I didn't have to come up with my own logo LOL
Speaking of which, from here on out, for designs that aren't explicitly stated in the book: I'll be making my own designs. You can already see that in the rings! While we do know that the rings are gold, the actual design itself is unknown. I tried my best to make the rings look chunky, because I'm sure that if there was actual technology in there, it'd be hard to fit inside a tiny ring (plus, those diamonds are HUGE. The size of Faraday's KNUCKLE?! The Scythedom is RICH rich)
Also, for designs that contradict the book, they'll be ignored. The Scythe book trailer, for example, shows the rings being silver with a cyan diamond. That directly contradicts what's said in the book, so it'll be ignored for now!
my first scythe anastasia drawing (left) vs my most recent :O)
i'm trying to go for a more realistic approach with my style. I think it turned out pretty well, but please tell me if you have critique! also, if there's requests for specific scythe characters to do next (see my last post for context) then lmk!

Scythe Volta and Rowan fanart from a little bit ago that I forgot to post. I love arc of a scythe so, so much and I highly recommend reading it. I'm not even an avid reader, yet I've enjoyed these books to no end
anywaysssss (if you can't read the fonts, click for better quality i think)
debates welcome, but i'm right
What is the citra x rowan ship name, people???
I've seen terrisch, I've seen citrarowan, I've seen damnova, I personally have been using lucistasia just for fun...
What's the verdict???
another Scythe alignment chart
this one was fun
