Lotf Simon - Blog Posts
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
… Simon
Wait you guys what if Simon were Palestinian because he represents Jesus Christ.. Hear me out now..
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 💔🥀

Okay!! A completed 80s au look kinda thing.
The setup of characters was inspired by @chasing-the-western-sun and their roller rink au!!!!

In order from first picture to second:

Y'all have wild group chats fr
LOTF Characters as quotes from my group chat:
Ralph: “What if the ghosts are emotionally fragile? What then?”
Simon: “The best thing I’ve done today is get 12/12 on an ‘Is This A Rat Or A Mouse?’ quiz”
Roger: “Being against murder is so political, like, keep that to yourself.”
Jack: “To the group of people very loudly singing the Spongebob Squarepants theme, y’all need singing lessons bc that was dreadful.”
Eric: “It’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s just a business model shaped like an upside down funnel.”
Sam: “I feel so betrayed that Mr Kipling never existed, who else have they been lying to us about?”
Maurice: “Smoke less weed and go eat some beans. Preferably on Weetabix.”
Piggy: “Fine, no Bitcoin for you, then. I’ll start a new life on my own.”
Yes, just YES
LOTF children anatomy practise, parts 1,2 and 3. Based on scenes from the 1963 movie. Drawing these is sooo relaxing and fun! I promise there will be several others, I need to practice a little bit more. Then, I’ll move onto backgrounds :D

Your art is legit perfection 😭
Hey hey, finally I’m ready with my part of the art trade with @mccall-me-maurice This is Ralph, Piggy and Simon going to an ice cream shop! Hope you’ll like it ^^ My next piece is gonna be the Gaudete illustration with the whole choir, but I have yet to decide which medium to use, markers or aquarell… I might go with aquarell though because I have a much, much more intense and brighter blue compared to the markers I own, and that color is very much needed for the background… you’ll see ^^
I'm sorta a mix of Jack and Maurice.. idk
Lotf boys as fun activities:
Roger: "accidentally" dropping plastic knives on people

I'm honestly just Ralph but without the schoolwork
What the boys do during quarantine
Ralph: Focuses in schoolwork as hard as possible, stays inside, sits on Instagram and TikTok for 11 hours a day
Piggy: educates himself on every aspect of the virus, diligently does schoolwork, texts Ralph rants about his neighbors breaking quarantine
Jack: doesn’t stay inside, meets up with friends, doesn’t wear a mask and makes fun of everyone who does
Simon: avoids the news because it makes him sad, plays Animal Crossing 24/7, goes for walks at night
Samneric: fight over the TV remote, frequently interrupts their Moms Zoom work meetings, settle on a puzzle and then never finish it
Roger: murders his parents probably??
Me too Ralph, me too.😥💀
Simon: Can you recommend me any books that made you cry?
Ralph: General mathematics 6th edition
