@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)

- Jack

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

Simon

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

Ralph

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

Roger

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
