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
Honestly, Piggy doesn't deserve the hate :'(
Why do some people hate Piggy?
Seriously, the whole point of his character is that he's an annoying, fat, working class kid who gets constantly overlooked for the above reasons. Then at the very end, Ralph finally realises that he was actually one of the most valuable people on the island and that, had they actually listened to him and Simon, they'd probably be in a far better position by the end of the novel.
And yet I've had people tell me how glad they were that he finally died despite all this because "yeah but he was annoying". That's literally missing the entire point of his character and showing that you're just as prejudiced as Jack and the other kids on the island (and by extension, society).
I had such a stupid dream last night.
So for context my English class recently read a book called lord of the flies (pretty good piece of classic literature btw). In the book some kids are stuck on a tropical island to fend for themselves. In my dream Ford, Old Man Mcgucket and Stanley were there too?? The same age as they are in the show? Not as a part of the boys' group but just kinda doing their own thing??? Instead of trying to get back to civilization or anything logical (which they absolutely could have done since it's mentioned that Ford has a SUBMARINE at one point) they build some kind of house. I'm not even sure if they try to help or interact with the kids whatsoever. At one point I vividly remember that they make bacon and a little boy sneaks into their house and steals some. Half of the dream was just me reading Ford’s weirdass journal entries about his experience in this place. Ford's submarine got attacked by a pterodactyl at one point and there was a whole page dedicated to it. I sincerely apologize to William Golding and Alex Hirsch for the existence of this post.
