Lotf Ralph - Blog Posts

Ralph from Lord of the Flies

both Ralph n Jack being suppressors is so funny bc like. There are multiple elephants in the room guys cmon feed it a peanut or two

Esp if Ralph survives the stab and doesn’t get rescued bc like the elephant is ac a giant scar taking up ur lower stomach and they’ll still turn their heads off their shoulders before they address it straight. Mf u did this.?.

“So… have you finally been swayed by my awesome reasoning?”

“‘Reasoning’?”

and that’s as close as they get

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

there r two wolves inside Ralph

Peter vs Jack

sucks that Ralph is a jackass4jackass domestic violence gay instead of a heartstopper, cheek kissing, family friendly gay

also sucks that I prolly wouldn’t be as interested in his character if he were

Jack baiting Ralph like he’s a moody cat and Jack’s the spineless indulging owner bribing him with a piece of expensive salami is soooooo funny bc he’s making the most outrageous requests with the held back exasperation of someone who knows they’re right- WHEN HES NOT

“Cmon. cmon stop being a damn patron saint and join my tribe alr. yes we killed two of your friends- how long are u going to be upset abt that?”

What a dick. My least favorite gay republican. GTFO

—> will be writing Jack centered fics

now that I’ve hard launched myself as a lord of the flies fanatic

how we feel abt American rewrite, pioneer, Oregon Trail au

Bc I feel strongly.

Donner Party

… Simon

yall I rlly want to drop a fic abt Ralph’s introspection both during and after island bc there’s sm left to say and sm I can tweak and push and force into the forefront- most all, Ralph’s isolation

He’s friendly enough and probably has a history of being well liked. he can joke when he wants, and while he’s no genius, he’s no tool either

He’s had to have considered going buck wild just as the others did countless times

He’s had to have imagined it in dreams and mornings and meals spent picking at the flesh of fruit where the others tear apart pig with their teeth. Pig And Piggy

Because he sees a gleam in Jack’s eye that spells something knowing under all that wrath, and despite standing with Piggy he doesn’t even know his fucking name because he has that knack for social hierarchy and cruelty and he’d fit right in if he just allowed himself to

He had to have stared at the groups backs and know so so so intimately that he could saddle right on up and feel warm for the first time in a long time

diversity win!!

The Worst Person You Know Is Gay!

-modern au where Merridew pulls the gay card to shield from attempts at cancellation

-Ralph both stands with the angry mobs and with his cancelled husband

Scraping together enough coherence to over share abt my lotf au where Ralph finds a voice in either

A: a wise, serious older brother figure

or

B: a wise-cracking and numbskull peer

either way, both options are completely horrified at Ralph’s past and kind’ve beat chalance back into him

“Hm. That’s- not normal.”

or

“Ha! What The FuckTM.”

and it makes him like so angry because yeah. That wasn’t right, that wasn’t fair or justified or just ‘stir craziness’- that was fucking insane. and it wasn’t his fault. more than that, it was someone’s fault- it wasn’t a blameless, natural disaster or some sort’ve drunken mistake. it was cruel and it was unnecessary and it wasn’t his fault.

i connect my interests with yarn and nails like a maniac Charlie fucking Kelly, obviously-

y. you don’t believe me?

Ralph is Ethan Winters abt 7 decades later and I WILL NOT BE SILENCED. DO U NEED ME TO WALK THROUGH THE STRINGS BC BY HEAVEN AND GOD I WILL

love the casualness of post island jalph bc the history is so loaded and it just sits on the tail end of every pause of every conversations, like an old timely chaperone making sure nothing unseemly is afoot as two suitors court, and it’s so easy too

yeah, Ralph’s breath hitches when Merridew moves too fast or too suddenly, and his eyes get kind’ve buzzy when they enter the mess hall and Jack’s loaned a knife to cut up his breakfast, but they throw back airy insults like none of it even happened

sure, Ralph’s tone seems slightly sharper than strictly warranted, and Jack’s responding smugness reads more sadistic than good natured, but they still talk

They still hang out and sit where the other does and walks where the other’s going, so they must be close.

post island ralph ilyyyyyyyyyy bc he’s repressed as all hell and then some

nope don’t look at the shadows that

raise ur hackles from ur peripherals or those dreams of fiery, finicky orange and strokes of deep, dripping red

Also! Ur Homo!

For… for the guy ur desperately trying to pretend isn’t stalking your subconscious/neg

so much fear and pain and hatred and exhaustion and pessimism, yeah get this man a box to scream in and five thousand beers pls

lord of the flies my fucking goat

Ik it’s obvious but they’re such dicks like they all dog pile on piggy for Fat. and the only nice fucker here is Simon, who’s described as Queer.

these r boys they’re all ragtag and assholes and lwk stupid asf but like they have the potential not be they just choose to be

All this to say, pls stop writing ralph as an angel or a little ball of sweetness or even as smart as piggy he’s just the same as the others, the only difference is that he can control his whims enough to value survival- he’s not all that exceptional

You are

Indecisive like Ralph

Impulsive like Jack

Fat like Piggy

Weak like Simon

Sadistic like Roger

And lacking autonomy like Maurice

You are not my Lord of The Flies 💔🥀

Jack and Ralph posterss

Hi Jalph community

Just finished LOTF for school

Uh

Jesus christ

I stand by it though if Jack wasn't such a coward they would've been okay. If they had just kissed or something it all could've been avoided.

Just read Chapters 7-9 of LOTF. My boy Simon's death could've been prevented if Ralph ran after Jack and kissed him or smth like he so clearly wanted.

"I'm not going to play any longer. Not with you." This feels like a kindergarten breakup. Go get your mans or smth.

Reading LOTF for school and Jack and Ralph want each other SOOOO bad. Ik how its gonna turn out but I stand by my statement the whole time. They just don't know how to express it guys...

I'd just like to say that because of Lord of the Flies, I can never casually enjoy a camp fire again as I will be stressing over the others letting the fire out.

Okay so like, imagine...

Jack and Ralph are fighting so Ralph coldly calls him 'Merridew', and all Jack's response is :

Jack : Jokes on you, that's what I originally wanted you to call me anyways!

I Saw This And I Just Had To Make It Lotf

Roger, trying to flirt with Jack: So, what's a cutie like you doing with someone like him? *points at Ralph*

Jack : Shut up! I don't think he knows he can do better.

They looked at each other, baffled in love and hate.

William Golding : *sweating* Hetrerosexually.

Jack : Hey Ralph.

Ralph : Hey Jack - bloody hell is that a dead pig?

Jack : Yeah, I killed it for you.

Ralph : What are you? A cat?

Jack : Well no but if you're into that I'm willing -

man, has it already been a year since I last read this book? I don’t know if I still remember most of it.

Just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and I will only say a couple of words:

Simon and Piggy deserved better

Hi looking for lotf mutuals thanks

I tried to be aesthetic with the shells or smth 😔😒
