Making Simon Hawaiian bc I can. He’s like my one nephew that bites me

Ok he’s nothing like that but idc he’s my kin I’ve demanded it

Making Ralph his haole friend everyone stuffs with food and asks invasive questions abt like he’s not just a guy

“Your folks like eat like this?”

“Um.. pretty much. Maybe bread more.”

aggressive nodding with squinted eyes

Also did yall even know I was Hawaiian. I’m also Asian as hell and. Irish.

and what if Simon talks to himself n faints all the time? God forbid a brown boy try n catch a vibe

Mf I do that daily, no need to kill him to death omfg

can you do an analysis of Simon but through an autism centered perspective . if that makes sense

I’m no expert in neurodivergent behaviors but his little knack of imparting rlly sound advice or comfort and being misunderstood/read wrong is something that I think of immediately

people disregard him throughout the entire book, and while he’s no Peter in knowledge, he has a sense of emotional intelligence and self reflection

he’s probably the only one on the island able to step back and take control of seemingly uncontrollable circumstances- discovering the beast was just a dead body, finding the glade of beauty in the forest, and sitting down and just listening to Ralph as a leader.

He knows how to take care of his needs while being aware enough to buckle down and help make huts when most evb was either telling Ralph what to do or playing around with Jack

He’s a symbol of purity and innocence through the canon eye, but read with this interpretation in mind, you could view his authenticity and simple notions as the straight forward thinking and unquestioned acceptance of his needs often associated with autism

His being called queer and loony is also supportive since autistic people are clocked by neurotypical nine times outve nine- Peter thinks he’s stupid, which makes sense bc he’s representative of education and intellectual society. Jack thinks he’s soft and preyish, which makes sense bc he’s representative of war and the status quo of ‘man’ and ‘power’. Ralph thinks he’s queer, which makes sense bc he represents democracy- ‘majority rules’- and Simon’s outlier personality clashes with it more than Jacks. (like a two party systems- Simon would be a useless non-voter or unpopular third party, EVEN THO HE HELPS RALPH)

All in all, I’d say he’s a pretty solid example of what it’s like living in a world not meant for you, and the struggles of trying to be a contributing member anyways- even if you seem to be doing it wrong no matter how hard you try.

His being killed by everybody, including Ralph, is also very significant because that’s just it. He’s an outlier and no one is willing to accommodate him, even when he’s done nothing wrong. (His being apart of but not being apart of the choir rlly punctuates it)

We could make the argument that his being mistaken as the beast in his last minutes shows the stigma autistic people get, with allistic often getting ‘the creeps’ from them, but I feel I’ve yapped past your interest enough for one tweet lmfao

I don’t post abt Simon enough but I rlly don’t have much to say abt this guy

I’m very fond of him

But like. That’s it. I can’t write stupid headcanons abt him bc I don’t want to slander him and I don’t write anything grounded bc there’s rlly nothing I can say that hasn’t been interpreted alr

But I feel he’s been neglected despite being so high in my favs list so. Simon Appreciation Post

I do fw extended cut lord of the flies where Simon and Peter aren’t killed until like three to four years later, because not only would it be heart crushing in inevitability, but it’s more understood to evb complicit and implicitly involved

Like yeah we did sit on this for a while… Haven’t changed my mind tho- Roger, ready the rock

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

Impulsive like Jack

Fat like Piggy

Weak like Simon

Sadistic like Roger

And lacking autonomy like Maurice
