The Thunderhead (The Arc of a Scythe) VS IBM 704 (Real Life)

About Thunderhead: *kicks down door* i submitted a character the other day AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THE THUNDERHEAD!!! i love the thunderhead so so much and you should too. the Thunderhead's sole purpose is to better humanity, for the most part - it gives everyone jobs, it came up with cures for almost every disease, it can act basically like a google home does, it can talk to you, it will adopt children who are surrendered by their parents...it loves humanity so so much and it is so fascinated by humans! it deliberately chooses to NEVER take on a robot body and insists that any androids on earth are not run by ai. it is basically like the one and only true AI in the series until later (but thats spoilers so I digress), it cries by making it rain, and like i said it's like if the cloud achieved godhood, pretty much. if you like ai, im begging you, read the Scythe series, it's so good. i love the thunderhead

About IBM 704: This computer is why Hatsune Miku is a thing. Sung daisy bell,<3 first computer to sing<3

Scythe by Neal Shusterman

In a perfect world, what is there left to fear? A chilling and thought-provoking sci-fi novel from New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman. A dark, gripping and witty thriller in which the only thing humanity has control over is death. In a world where disease, war and crime have been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed ("gleaned") by professional scythes. Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythes' apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn the art of killing and understand the necessity of what they do. Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe's apprentice and as Citra and Rowan come up against a terrifyingly corrupt Scythedom, it becomes clear that the winning apprentice's first task will be to glean the loser.

I FINISHED THUNDERHEAD LAST NIGHT 😭😭😭😭

it feels like someone has shattered my heart and buried the pieces somewhere i can’t find.

i feel empty and broken 😭 but at the same time, I MADE MY HEART BEAT 1000 BPS 🫣

i’m gonna wait around 30 minutes before i start The Toll, i feel like i just need to comprehend and accept what the actual hell just happened in Thunderhead.

i think it was 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DEFINITELY 👍🏾

There’s nothing stronger than the bond between two girls who read the same semi-embarrassing ya series when they were in middle school

The best ship dynamic is "i'll die for you" person and "i'll kill for you" person

Each page is based on an AI character from a book, movie, or game. I can't wait to print and fold it! If you want to, feel free to print your own copies, just please credit me if you share it :)

GLaDOS and Wheatley, Portal 2 (This one will technically end up being the cover)

AM, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream"

Justice of Toren, Imperial Radch by Ann Leckie (the EskVar logo was designed by Nicole Thayer and shared by Ann Leckie: https://annleckie.com/2015/09/25/your-complete-list-of-emanations-files/).

I added the engine because JoT is a spaceship and to emulate the wheel of Fortune, since the books talk about fate and action, etc. It also references "It all goes around..."

The Thunderhead, Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman

AIDAN, The Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (the Alexander engine design and the "AIDAN" background are taken from the first book; I just put them together and made it glow blue)

AOAS is actually so weird out of context. The main baddie is literally from mars, he killed an entire planet, was beheaded, and then started wearing one of the MC’s best friend’s body like the other 17% of the headless horseman for the ~drama~. One of the main driving plot points of the first book is Mars Man kidnapping Basically The President’s daughter and forcing the MC to babysit her against his will while he studies to get his license to kill. My man floods Basically NATO with mind-controlled sharks and yells “lol nope, u thought” while watching world leaders get eaten from a helicopter. The B-plot is New Jesus trying to navigate the intricacies of religion and developing a dysfunctional-ass found family that consists of his tour manager, a stubborn but devout theatre kid, a jean-cloaked ex-killer, and Robot God. He falls in love with a sexy sea captain who gets possessed by Robot God bc it’s in love. There’s deep talks about nature and morality of humanity. The two MC’s bang while dying of hypothermia while sinking to the bottom of the ocean. This isn’t even half of it.
