Your Curated Tumblr Experience Awaits!
hey- pst! Just dropped on by to say Jack and Peter (piggy) are the true ‘opposites attract’ pairing
Do I hate it? Yes
But I’m a man of honor. And this is true despite how my heart screams at the concept
Jack doesn’t deserve that boy. But they got that barely concealed ugliness about them that makes them amplifiers im sorry
They’re bitter and entitled and feel like they’re smarter and better than evb else for the stupidest reasons
“I should be chief bc I sing a C sharp n am leader of this dumbass choir”
meets
“I’ve read 15 books over summer and get straight As, so evb should listen to me”
and they argue very gayly abt it before teaming up
also I think I’m a big ‘ole liar and will be writing a fic abt Peter first. Ty mootie ask, I’ve been reintroduced to my love for Peter’s barely controlled resentment
invading your inbox once again
do you think that piggy was bitter and resented ralph for constantly abandoning him (even later in the book when piggy was his right hand man)
YES! yes I really do, and I’d even go so far as to say he is a little pretentious in that nerdy little kid way, so he already doesn’t like most everyone
but that’s the thing, he’s so anti-emotional bc he’s focused on surviving that it’ll never be enough to ever make him turn on Ralph bc he needs him as a talking piece yk, but I’d definitely say so
If we’re being really honest, I don’t view anyone on this island as friends LMFAOOOOOOO
I just think that’s a boring approach tho so I disregard the obvious tension in every relationship and make them a big happy family
but yes Peter fucking hates that guy ac, in my mind he compliments and supports Ralph bc he can’t have him lose hope or else he’s damned too
I think this interpretation also makes sense with the whole intellect thing, bc I don’t think Golding meant to say logic will always be beat out when shit hits the fan, but more so it won’t be enough. But to have that statement, Peter had to have achieved something or have been effective for a short instance, and I think getting Ralph to fully believe in himself, Peter as a friend, and keep fighting was his achievement. It’s a fairly impressive one too, considering how weak Ralph is lmfao
I do fw extended cut lord of the flies where Simon and Peter aren’t killed until like three to four years later, because not only would it be heart crushing in inevitability, but it’s more understood to evb complicit and implicitly involved
Like yeah we did sit on this for a while… Haven’t changed my mind tho- Roger, ready the rock
there r two wolves inside Ralph
Peter vs Jack
sucks that Ralph is a jackass4jackass domestic violence gay instead of a heartstopper, cheek kissing, family friendly gay
also sucks that I prolly wouldn’t be as interested in his character if he were
I love Peter but I also headcanon him to smell perpetually of peanut butter pre island
Idk y alr yes I am aware I might be my favs biggest hater with the way I headcanon but for the record I’d still think it was endearing alr
He also had a suspenders phase
SORRY I PROMISE I LOVE U THIS IS JUST WHO U R PETER
guys I love Peter sm im not even joking he’s so me asf
I bet he brags about how many books he’s read for summer programs
What a dork. I need him to have friends pls everyone be nice to him pls stop bullying him lll kill u all
now that I’ve hard launched myself as a lord of the flies fanatic
how we feel abt American rewrite, pioneer, Oregon Trail au
Bc I feel strongly.

Just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and I will only say a couple of words:
Simon and Piggy deserved better
Okay!! A completed 80s au look kinda thing.
The setup of characters was inspired by @chasing-the-western-sun and their roller rink au!!!!
Maybe one day I’ll dive really deep into this au but for now it’s just me fucking around with hideous fashion from the 80s. Right now theyre just teenagers vibing. The twins, robert, and bill are up next!!
In order from first picture to second:
Maurice -> Jack -> Roger Peter (Piggy) -> Ralph -> Simon
Ralph: “What if the ghosts are emotionally fragile? What then?”
Simon: “The best thing I’ve done today is get 12/12 on an ‘Is This A Rat Or A Mouse?’ quiz”
Roger: “Being against murder is so political, like, keep that to yourself.”
Jack: “To the group of people very loudly singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme, y’all need singing lessons bc that was dreadful.”
Eric: “It’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s just a business model shaped like an upside down funnel.”
Sam: “I feel so betrayed that Mr Kipling never existed, who else have they been lying to us about?”
Maurice: “Smoke less weed and go eat some beans. Preferably on Weetabix.”
Piggy: “Fine, no Bitcoin for you, then. I’ll start a new life on my own.”

Hey hey, finally I’m ready with my part of the art trade with @mccall-me-maurice This is Ralph, Piggy and Simon going to an ice cream shop! Hope you’ll like it ^^ My next piece is gonna be the Gaudete illustration with the whole choir, but I have yet to decide which medium to use, markers or aquarell… I might go with aquarell though because I have a much, much more intense and brighter blue compared to the markers I own, and that color is very much needed for the background… you’ll see ^^
Kidnapper, on the phone: If you can get me 10.000 dollars within the next 24 hours, i'll give you your friend back.
Ralph, tied up: Ten thou-YOU THINK I'M ONLY WORTH TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS?!
Kidnapper: I-
Ralph, screaming: MAKE IT 10 BIL-
Piggy, screaming on the other line: RALPH SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Lotf boys as fun activities:
Roger: "accidentally" dropping plastic knives on people
Percival: Crying
Jack: Hula Hooping in the rain for an hour just to spite the world
Simon: Drawing your inner demons on index cards and talking to them
Piggy: Wheezing when climbing the stairs
Ralph: Printing off Donald Trump tweets and putting them in a bonfire
Maurice: Making pancakes at 2 AM
----
yeah I think I need some help because... I... may or may not have done all of this
Jack talking about piggy and Ralph: I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends always one of them gotta be ugly
I did it. I made the Piggy comic in less than an hour. It’s a quaint story about Piggy traveling to the nearest convenience store during the tender hours of the night in search of a snack, only to find a wild Ralph searching for cheap food because he’s broke af (feat. Percival because I’m biased)
Have this behind the scenes photo..
Jack - ‘Regards,’
Maurice - ‘Ciao,’
Sam - ‘Thanks,’
Simon - ‘Best wishes,’
Roger - no sign-off

Why is this so ACCURATE

maurice and roger
the lord of the flies
I'm honestly just Ralph but without the schoolwork
What the boys do during quarantine
Ralph: Focuses in schoolwork as hard as possible, stays inside, sits on Instagram and TikTok for 11 hours a day
Piggy: educates himself on every aspect of the virus, diligently does schoolwork, texts Ralph rants about his neighbors breaking quarantine
Jack: doesn’t stay inside, meets up with friends, doesn’t wear a mask and makes fun of everyone who does
Simon: avoids the news because it makes him sad, plays Animal Crossing 24/7, goes for walks at night
Samneric: fight over the TV remote, frequently interrupts their Moms Zoom work meetings, settle on a puzzle and then never finish it
Roger: murders his parents probably??
Hfghgghh lmaooo
Piggy: What’s your favorite color?
Jack: Stop asking stupid questions, ask me something logical and mature.
Piggy: How many moles of sodium bicarbonate are needed to neutralize 0.8 ml of sulfuric acid at STP?
Jack: My favorite color is black.
This is now canon in my head k
Mine are:
Jack - law (Jack is just peak law-student vibes. Typical overachieving head boy, head chorister, likes to pick arguments with everyone, theatrical enough to appreciate the showmanship of being a lawyer.)
Maurice - chemistry (okay, hear me out, I just feel like Maurice could be that guy who seems like just a memer on the surface but is actually really smart. Plus bad chemistry puns.)
Ralph - Either French or English Lit (Ralph’s a fairly emotional person, so either studying a Romance language like French, which is a fairly passionate, emotional language, or English Lit, with all the romanticism it involves, would probably suit him.)
Roger - geology (The boy likes rocks, okay?)
Simon - Philosophy (I was really torn between this and Religious Studies, but between his whole ‘the beast is inside of us’ revelation, and the fact that I really want him to be a mini Chidi Anagonye, it checks out.)
Sam - Chemistry (It would just highly amuse me if one twin were really nerdy and academically inclined, and the other...Less so. Plus, all the chemistry puns with Maurice.)
Eric - Film Studies (Eric is 100% that annoying sibling who talks during films, so if he did film studies, he could interject with stuff he’d learned in class. Plus, Ralric book vs movie debates.)
Piggy - Sociology (Very interested in the workings of society, probably enjoys bringing up and debating various points. Loudly remarks that the likes of Jack and Roger are what’s causing societal breakdown.)
