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

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

Ocd midorima

yes! headcanon approved lmfao

I ac don’t know much abt ocd but Midorima being a chronically unmedicated ball of compulsions is basically canon

“Hey Shin… what’s up with this whole crawling on the floor thing today?”

*Midorima, on all fours outside the gymnasium*

“Oha Asa says a square rock is required for cancers to avoid catastrophe today. Will that be all?”

LMFAOOOOOO sigh i love my special interest astrology gf he’s the worst

I'd love any knb Aomine Daiki and haikyuu Kuroo Tetsurou headcanons of them as friends if that's okay to request! 💜

it is more then ok to request! ty anon

I ac. Hm. I can see it. No wait I can definitely see it lmfao. They have quiet best friends from middle school, and give off the same general smirking smugness at times.

I can see all four becoming friends if Kuroko stumbled upon Kenma all Hinata style and started talking, bc Kuroko had the same passion for his sport, he just doesn’t yell. Kuroo n Aomine would find them at the same time and I can very clearly see a regular hangout session happening between them.

Very cute. Head canon approved!!

Wait I can also see Kuroo kind’ve helping Aomine with his struggles with the sport, considering he himself had to badger Kenma into even playing volleyball, and he as this wise older mentor thing about him. He probably won’t be able to completely stop the process of Aomine going all ego maniac on everybody, but he could slow it down.
