Giving Him A Gold Star And A Hug Rn

giving him a gold star and a hug rn

Day 6: childhood

Being from a religious family, it was as natural that the son of the town priest had gotten the roll of chapter chorister. Jack came home tell his father the good news. He eagerly knocked on the door to his father study.

"Enter." Signaled a raspy voice

Jack entered silently with a shy expression on his face.

"What do you want Jack?"

"I just wanted to tell you father that I've been chosen as chapter chorister-"

Jacks father cut him off.

"Is that it?" He said annoyed.

"Yes."

"What's special about that? That's an expectation not an achievement. Now don't waste my time any further; "

"But-"

"Leave."

Jack obediently left the study wondering, what did he do to make his dad disappointed. He had listened to him, obeyed him, and never questioned him once. What was the point of trying to impress him if time and time again he was ignored. The more he did, the more he got hurt. Jack made the conclusion that there wasn't any point to trying to impress him any longer.

I went with writing today because I don't have my sketchbook on me 💔 I have a head canon that Jack grew up with an emotionally abusive father, it just seems to make sense if you look at his behavior

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)
