something I've been stewing on for a while now, but I need lotf fans to understand the book has some inherent racism like a lot of classics. and I feel like that's something we should be discussing more often.
of course the rampant nationalism is essential to the boys' characteristics. its part of what makes them shitty preteens. but the slurs and racist remarks that have been edited or removed in the book are part of the larger themes of savagery that are, ultimately, racist. I've discussed before some more nuanced takes like Jack's red hair connecting him to unsavory depictions of Jews/Irishmen, but there isn't much nuance to this. Lord of the Flies is a book that delves deeply into indigenous stereotypes. and when we discuss/depict this "descent into savagery" we all need to be a little more aware of that.
much love for this fandom but please be cognizant of this, especially if you're a younger fan. always be critical of the media you consume.
okay! This is the earlier in the book versions of the characters for my graphic novel adaption of William Goldings lord of the flies! (I’ll do more I swear)
these boys are fresh on the island and have no clue what’s coming 👍👍👍👍
I also do this thing where whenever I write a characters name I write it how I think their handwriting is or how they would write it. (And I know Piggy would probably actually write his real name but we don’t know his real name so shhhhhhhh 🤫)
Close ups!!!
and please do give feedback! I love it and I will gladly take criticisms and adjust my work as necessary :) Thankk you!
I finally watched transformers one 😭
You’ll probably get content related to that once it sinks in
alright so things popped up and made me extremely busy, so I can’t really commit to doing transformuary unfortunately. I’ll hopefully pop in a couple times with a few drawings.
I will likely mostly be doing some smaller fandom art for things I get bursts of energy to draw. Sorry guys….
I know being visible is hard right now, and you’re no less valid for having to hide. Deep down, know that this is your day too. I love you x
Lol just realized i said Top 5 and only gave 3 myb okay forgive me if im unloading a ton on you
4. Elite trine (skywarp/thundercracker/starscream
-a bickering cunty polycule
-gestalt bonding is neat and i like the idea of soulbonding your coworker for explicitly tactical purposes and it begrudingly becomes romantic
-not too much canon material for this as the trine kinda hates eachother (usually in a fun way though)
5. Jazzprowl
-another primarily fanon pair but the fanon out there is incredible (empurata prowl broke my heart 7 ways to Sunday)
-im still dipping my toes into it because its taking me a bit to work through all the messed up shenanigans that Prowl gets up to in the conics but G1/cyberverse is a fine model too
