what animals do you think the lotf characters are
so silly you asked this actually
i associate jack and ralph with dogs and cats most generally, but for story related reasons, jack is a dog and ralph is a dove :3
jack is a dog because of dog poetry stuff, he isnt a bad kid just as no dog is a bad dog, being bad is taught, not born... and his actions in the book are mainly caused by varying levels of hurt he felt and no matter your theories/headcanons about his home life, hes about 12 years old stranded on an island alone while being stripped of everything that was once familiar to him. his home life, routines, leadership, etc., he is trying to protect and prove himself while coping with the changes ,,, hes also a dog because the poor boy just needs some praise on his leadership skills man :(
and ralph is a dove for very obvious reasons, those being doves symbolizing innocence, freedom, and peace... i think you get the idea
simon is a lamb!!! for!! also super obvious reasons!! he is constantly teehee joked about being the book's jesus, it just makes sense to me
roger im not TOO sure, but i want to say a cat. one thats been mistreated so its resorted to being standoffish and hissy to protect itself, and it takes longer for them to forgive and heal
maurice is also a dog !!! hes just a big puppy,, my only explanation for this is just the part where he tries to cheer up the littluns by falling i think, and also when he quickly feels bad after making them cry in chapter 4... and the way hes initially described in the first chapter
everyone else ive never really thought about it (sorry piggy likers i love him i just havent considered it)
this guy
Let’s get you back to bed grandpa… you’re having some crazy ideas…

@lotftober2024 day 10: headcanons !!!
the drawing is just ralph doodling :))
im very tired so few headcanons written, but i have lots so feel free to ask and ill probably answer them later 😇 (i fell asleep before posting this at 11pm help)
his parents spent very little time with him, mainly leaving him with the church or with tutors
his parents could only express how disappointed they were in the fact jack became a "savage", rather than "acting like an english boy", and didnt care much if at all about the long-lasting effects and trauma the island caused him
jack is the way he is because of his parents.
he has never had any siblings, nor even met any of his extended family, but will forever feel like his ability to lead is an expectation, and he has no other choice to be a leader, otherwise he has no purpose in the group (basically canon but some people choose to ignore it...)
ralph was his unintentional gay awakening (/silly)
post-island jack was terrified of seeing ralph again because he'll never escape the guilt of almost killing him
selective mutism
was raised by his grandparents
modern-y simon would wear long naturey themed skirts (notbsure how to describe it
anemic
listens to his friends yap happily, and could talk/write about how much he loves and enjoys all of them and how different their personalities and perspectives on things are
genuinely enjoyed choir
poor boy is severely traumatized.
based on a fix i read, but hes overly observant and paranoid about his surroundings, and cant handle pigs, spears, being chased (even in sports or playtime), and being snuck up on
refused to eat meat for months after getting off the island in fear it was pork
has frequent nightmares about the night simon died
wants to be angry and hate jack, but hes unfortunately aware that they were just kids, he heard the men on the television say it, they were all just a bunch of silly kids that decided to play war
his parents were never strictly religious, so he never really went to church
his first time in the church mightve been visiting the funeral/s for simon, piggy, and the mulberry boy
he isnt much of an artist, but more healed post-island ralph that's more amended with jack doodles them both in little stick figures
awful awful parents
parents are also why he is the way that he is
ended up in some form of foster care after the island
was forced into choir because his mom wanted him to do something she could brag about, but his dad thought it was the stupidest thing, and that he dhould be preparing himself to join the silly army like he did
used to absolutely adore christmas
hated choir for a while because his dad did, until it became a safe space
now he genuinely enjoys it
he really likes animals
feels genuine guilt for what he did to piggy, and felt sick in the moment of him doing it
GOES INSANE ?????!?!/POS
