Your gateway to endless inspiration
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
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
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
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
