Can Splinter get canonically hit by a vehicle, preferably a train, preferably a bullet train (referencing a poll from a bit ago; sadly this choice lost)
Hmm. Not rn. I’d need a reason to give y’all that, since it’s a special treat and would take some finagling on my part to fit it into the story properly.

Okay so, gonna explain why I think the toll ending is so great
Okay so with most Dystopias (at least that I’ve read and especially in bad dystopias) it usually ends with the rebel group overthrowing the government and instating a new better government, and everything is great and swell, maybe our main heros have some trauma but the world is pretty much fixed yk?
And at first you’d think scythe would be going in that direction, maybe less sunshine and rainbows but still similar. Its established that Goddard is a terrible ruler and how cruel and awful he is. And how corrupt the scythedom is in general
However then Faraday says something interesting, “there will always be another Goddard” and I absolutely love that line because its very true. No matter who gets put in power again, no matter what rules they put in place the scythedom and scythes are inherently flawed and bias because humans are flawed and bias. There will always be some other horrible person like Goddard to fuck things up.
And if that cycle keeps happening people will keep getting hurt, getting gleaned, and all that. (Which is why it doesn’t matter if Goddard dies or not because regardless there will always be someone like him just around the corner)
So what do they do? They activate the failsafe. A plague that is awful yes, but it is unbias and cannot be flawed on who it picks. And it still doesn’t destroy the essentially Utopia they have. And this is what I like the most, that the scythes who remain become a source of comfort instead of fear due to it. It cycles back to the first book where the Terranovas were terrified of Faraday, to the family who are so grateful to see him
And yes, the whole space thing is a little disappointing. I would’ve liked them to stay on earth too, but I’ve grown to like it more and here’s why
On earth Citra and Rowan weren’t themselves. They were Anastasia and Lucifer and even with the scythedom gone their reputations wouldn’t have gone away. In space (forgot the planet name so yk) they have a chance to start fresh and really be themselves the way they never got the chance too due to the scythedom essentially taking away their youths. It’s bleak yet hopeful I really like that
Things won’t be okay, there’s still heartache and pain and the world isnt fixed, but that’s okay, because there’s hope. And that’s my favorite thing about it. Each character gets hope. Maybe not a happy ending but a glance of hope. And after all the shit they went through it feels so great to see them feel that hope and think maybe things will be okay
Anyways I fucking love the toll a lot <3

Now i’m thinking of pegi siblings Clair and Clive…
Everyones surprised when Clive befriends a pegasus but he’s like, it’s just a winged horse??
Clive vc what? Like its hard? /j
Clair is… well of course her brother could do such a thing!
That's so cute -- yes!
I love Clive being completely clueless to what an accomplishment it is because he was surrounded pegasi his whole life. Clair made for an amazing teacher, so it takes him a long time to understand how difficult it normally is to bond with one.
They'd probably get a real cute triangle attack duo attack to do together :))
We don't see that side of them much, but I would love to see the two get competitive about sky stunts and maneuvers... 😂
