Lotf Maurice - Blog Posts
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
now that I’ve hard launched myself as a lord of the flies fanatic
how we feel abt American rewrite, pioneer, Oregon Trail au

Sam: I keep cursing in ice cream flavours and my brother has told me to stop

Okay!! A completed 80s au look kinda thing.
The setup of characters was inspired by @chasing-the-western-sun and their roller rink au!!!!
Maybe one day I’ll dive really deep into this au but for now it’s just me fucking around with hideous fashion from the 80s. Right now theyre just teenagers vibing. The twins, robert, and bill are up next!!
In order from first picture to second:
Maurice -> Jack -> Roger Peter (Piggy) -> Ralph -> Simon
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

I found this picture on Pinterest, I think it was a photo of Eton College students. And these guys are literally- Ralph, Jack and Maurice. Don’t even try to tell me otherwise. They rock this classy, sharp-dressed look~

@lotftober2024 DAY 10: headcanons
I was gonna draw more better drawings, but shit has been dissing recently😔 and so I got lazy and just drew a couple things instead
[bruising and e.d ahead]
Drawing 1- Simon's half French on his mother's side🇫🇷, his accent doesn't come out unless he's loud or yelling. He does fumble a handful of times. Ralph learned French so they could have 'secret bestie conversations'
Drawing 2- Ralph's older sister Sabrina. Looks just like Ralph, but she's about 2-4 years older than him
Drawing 3- what I personally think Ralph [and some other boys] on the island would look like by the time they got saved. Ralph would have a bruise/mark from when Jack hit him on Castle Rock, but it would eventually heal. I feel like he would have 'leader's' guilt and during his time on the island, make sure everybody else on the shelter side is fine first before taking care of himself, making a very bad habit and wearing himself out and starving himself before the hunters can in the end. Once rescued and everyone [including him] is able to get taken care of, that habit of taking care of others would stick with him, causing him to not eat as much and being too uptight when it came to facing his problems.
I also dug up some miscellaneous drawings in my sketchbook from last year;
@lotftober2024 DAY 8: Maurice
He's getting yelled at for slapping Roger's back with the pig's blood
I FINISHED THIS SO LATE CUS I DINT KNOW WAT TO DO WITH HIM😭😭😭
He's literally me guys
Redrew this cause it reminded me of them. Also, yes, they’re eating raw ass pork. I’m baffled none of them got a disease because I know damn well they weren’t cooking the pig thoroughly enough.
Here are my character designs for LoTF. I tried to make them as book accurate as possible but I had a lot of leeway with Bill, Robert, and Maurice. I was gonna give them their full uniforms but I decided not to cause it was taking me too long. Also I forgot to add Piggy’s glasses. Whoops!
Close ups!
So I read the Lord of the Flies Graphic Novel, and I LOVED it so much. The ending had me feeling just the same amount of emotions as the book. The message at the end of the novel even had me in tears. The imagery in the novel was amazing, there's things I've noticed and even foreshadowing from the imagery!
What stuck to me the most has to be the ending. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it made the ending even more emotional for me.
When Ralph runs into the navel officer, the boys' facial structures change completely! Instead of a mature facial structure, their facial structures change to be more child like. This made me so emotional because it's so telling. I love the imagery so much in the graphic novel! I'm going to continue crying about this now!
OH RALPH. HE LOOKS SO CUTE, I'M CRYING PLEASE
