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
I actually want Jalph to hate eachother so bad, with the only reason they feel compelled by the other is bc they both have the sickest most accurate gaydar ever
It’s like single gay solidarity bc. We’re here. … .. . ..
Gay…. .. . ….. by ourselves n only u can understand me. Damn.
They can sniff out fellow fags like truffle pigs n unfortunately they found fruit
Not even like
“We have to get tg bc we don’t want to be alone”
but like
“Sigh” *beer clink* “Put ‘em there brother.”
both Ralph n Jack being suppressors is so funny bc like. There are multiple elephants in the room guys cmon feed it a peanut or two
Esp if Ralph survives the stab and doesn’t get rescued bc like the elephant is ac a giant scar taking up ur lower stomach and they’ll still turn their heads off their shoulders before they address it straight. Mf u did this.?.
“So… have you finally been swayed by my awesome reasoning?”
“‘Reasoning’?”
and that’s as close as they get
Role reversal au where everything is the same except Ralph was head of the choir n Jack was just that random kid lmfao
I honestly think they would’ve gotten off island at that first ship, and not bc all of the choir boys would’ve listened to him, but enough of them would yk
Ralph would walk up but instead of being all, “ok we had our aura moment, take off ur capes now” he’d have alr had them undressed so evb is just like oh. More kids. LMFAO
Would Jack be sm more of a brat bc no one’s listening to him? Ofc but yk. He’s just a guy atp
Edit: just realized that if everything was the same, Jack would still be chief. So um, that’s fucking changing too, bc Jack is NOT charismatic like that to have won without support, mf didn’t even win with support lmfao
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’ve been laying on the jalph stance pretty thick so I feel the need to clarify that I am so chill abt shipping guys
Ik im a fake jalph truther ik but like i can also see them as friends or in other ships or whatever else like this blog is welcome to most all relationship n just individual interpretations of the boys alr im not strict im just very passionate abt my tweets lmfao
pls if u have thoughts or requests that differ from mine do share with the class, the class loves diversity n evbs opinions
NO LIKE INAPPROPRIATE THINGS THO
should be obvious but it’s the scary big bad world of the internet so pls don’t be creepy, they’re 12
Would Jack own a cyber truck? Jesus H Christ I horrify myself with these foul ponderments
can you do an analysis of Simon but through an autism centered perspective . if that makes sense
I’m no expert in neurodivergent behaviors but his little knack of imparting rlly sound advice or comfort and being misunderstood/read wrong is something that I think of immediately
people disregard him throughout the entire book, and while he’s no Peter in knowledge, he has a sense of emotional intelligence and self reflection
he’s probably the only one on the island able to step back and take control of seemingly uncontrollable circumstances- discovering the beast was just a dead body, finding the glade of beauty in the forest, and sitting down and just listening to Ralph as a leader.
He knows how to take care of his needs while being aware enough to buckle down and help make huts when most evb was either telling Ralph what to do or playing around with Jack
He’s a symbol of purity and innocence through the canon eye, but read with this interpretation in mind, you could view his authenticity and simple notions as the straight forward thinking and unquestioned acceptance of his needs often associated with autism
His being called queer and loony is also supportive since autistic people are clocked by neurotypical nine times outve nine- Peter thinks he’s stupid, which makes sense bc he’s representative of education and intellectual society. Jack thinks he’s soft and preyish, which makes sense bc he’s representative of war and the status quo of ‘man’ and ‘power’. Ralph thinks he’s queer, which makes sense bc he represents democracy- ‘majority rules’- and Simon’s outlier personality clashes with it more than Jacks. (like a two party systems- Simon would be a useless non-voter or unpopular third party, EVEN THO HE HELPS RALPH)
All in all, I’d say he’s a pretty solid example of what it’s like living in a world not meant for you, and the struggles of trying to be a contributing member anyways- even if you seem to be doing it wrong no matter how hard you try.
His being killed by everybody, including Ralph, is also very significant because that’s just it. He’s an outlier and no one is willing to accommodate him, even when he’s done nothing wrong. (His being apart of but not being apart of the choir rlly punctuates it)
We could make the argument that his being mistaken as the beast in his last minutes shows the stigma autistic people get, with allistic often getting ‘the creeps’ from them, but I feel I’ve yapped past your interest enough for one tweet lmfao
I don’t post abt Simon enough but I rlly don’t have much to say abt this guy
I’m very fond of him
But like. That’s it. I can’t write stupid headcanons abt him bc I don’t want to slander him and I don’t write anything grounded bc there’s rlly nothing I can say that hasn’t been interpreted alr
But I feel he’s been neglected despite being so high in my favs list so. Simon Appreciation Post
Roger is a character I want to hate but I rlly don’t have it in me
His antisocial ass was just me when I was younger and I relate to his standoffish annoyance and blunt dislike of most everybody
In elementary I just followed the one allotted friend I had and hid behind her so I didn’t have to talk to anyone else
I also threw roaches at my peers
I didn’t like that was most of them
yall do we prefer my shitposting or my thoughtful posts abt lotf
I do both semi consistently but im kind’ve curious
idk y im asking ik which of my tweets r most popular lmfaoooo
sigh im in denial.
pls be interested in my
analysis pls.
they all survive au would just be the lotf boys being the most insufferable codependent queer middle school friend group you’ve ever seen and there’s beauty in that. (modern au ofc)
toxic asf, always arguing, lwk that weirdo friend group that only dates within themselves/latches onto that one friend in the entire group, and gets super bitchy abt anyone else being in their space
I’m making one of them gender non conforming with dyed hair. Not saying which tho that’s up for interpretation
giving Jack an extremely sad home life isn’t the worst thing in the world, and it has a level of interest and emotion I fw, I’m just a little bored with the whole:
Guy That Fucks Everything Is Ac Hurting Inside trope
I think it’s even more interesting to give him a moderately empty childhood, or even a mildly good one- I feel the the island is a part of self-expression and something missing in Jack personally, rather than a reprieve for trauma yk
Not shaming shitty father headcanons tho, I still eat em up lmfao, just throwing this into the sphere
Ik we have a lot to say n draw abt flies in (yk) lord of the flies, but i also like ants as a motif for rotting bc they bite yk
like u feel the pinching, you just brush it off, and I think there’s merit in that
feels more active
like death is nipping at their toes rather than waiting around in the air
lord of the flies au where they ac do accidentally summon a religious force that grants them like three wishes is so funny bc:
A) it’s a hundred n ten percent either Roger or Jack doing or at least leading some crazy shit for this to happen
and
B) genuinely think these fuckers would waste this opportunity n wish for the most inane things ever
“Omg Jack we can finally go home-“
“I want a gun maybe. Some sweets-“
“-JACK!”
“hmmmm… and a mansion.”
HELPPPPPPPP
thats so funny help me
liking lord of the flies but also being dumb is rlly funny bc i spend half my time inserting them into anime and the other half inserting them into vines
Has anyone made a vines lotf compilation on youtube? someone had to have there’s no way
Am I Old?
most crack universe is having that parachute guy ac live after landing and like. Hardcore judge these 7th graders
“Is that- boar blood? Uh- no no like it looks fine ig- it’s just. A little over dramatic ngl.”
LMFAO
also Jack trying n failing to assert authority over this dude
“Well I’m chief!! And you listen to me.”
“… No thank you.”
I’ll set the scene for you- you’re stranded on an island next to ur shredded, crashed plane, and surrounded by YOUR- runs numbers- 7th grade class
not to be pessimistic but im Rogering people within the week im sorry im no Simon
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
honestly Jack popping hardcore painkillers for the next three decades and then just up and killing himself is perhaps the most riveting and sympathetic ending I have for him
Yes I love him dearly and yes I do want him to suffer the burn of a thousand and ten suns before rotting at his own hand
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
con: im the biggest sweat over my interests you’ve ever seen and I have not loved something casually since my mild appreciation for orange juice was discovered as a compromise for apple juice not being on the menu at my local Ruby Tuesdays when i was in 4th grd
pro: the sweat smells of sweet vanilla and pink peony petals and I’ll never let a single stone of that media lay unturned.
con: im insufferable and never satisfied. I can always say more
pro: PLS INVADE MY INBOX WITH HEADCANONS PLS PLS PLS PL
modern jalph could find its own way into being an intense mess of emotions and social commentary naturally enough, but I kind’ve hate it
please don’t make my crash out yaoi google buzzfeed gay quizzes on their school mandated Chromebook
Ac I’ve changed my mind in one single sentence. Go onward disregard previous
Jack baiting Ralph like he’s a moody cat and Jack’s the spineless indulging owner bribing him with a piece of expensive salami is soooooo funny bc he’s making the most outrageous requests with the held back exasperation of someone who knows they’re right- WHEN HES NOT
“Cmon. cmon stop being a damn patron saint and join my tribe alr. yes we killed two of your friends- how long are u going to be upset abt that?”
What a dick. My least favorite gay republican. GTFO
—> will be writing Jack centered fics
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.
Donner Party
… Simon
yall I rlly want to drop a fic abt Ralph’s introspection both during and after island bc there’s sm left to say and sm I can tweak and push and force into the forefront- most all, Ralph’s isolation
He’s friendly enough and probably has a history of being well liked. he can joke when he wants, and while he’s no genius, he’s no tool either
He’s had to have considered going buck wild just as the others did countless times
He’s had to have imagined it in dreams and mornings and meals spent picking at the flesh of fruit where the others tear apart pig with their teeth. Pig And Piggy
Because he sees a gleam in Jack’s eye that spells something knowing under all that wrath, and despite standing with Piggy he doesn’t even know his fucking name because he has that knack for social hierarchy and cruelty and he’d fit right in if he just allowed himself to
He had to have stared at the groups backs and know so so so intimately that he could saddle right on up and feel warm for the first time in a long time
i look at my own blog with a stricken sentimentality only felt when surrounded by the peeling walls of 1980s floral, sitting on the firmly plushed wooden chair your grandmother reserves for you very exclusively, because she knows that’s your favorite spot, as she cooks something warm (and maybe a little stalling) for the road
i scoop up the thick stew (my posts) and feast til my heart rings contentment (reread until I get sick of deciphering english)
