evil ralph headcanon: his hair starts turning brown directly after the island and he's left absolutely mortified because wth his hair has been almost white his entire life ever since he was a little baby??? no one told him anything about this happening??? and ralph's incredibly stubborn so he convinces himself that his hair has just turned into a wonderful dirty blonde and if anyone argues he'll fight tooth and nail claiming it is it is it is!!!!!! . But in truth he really is a brunette now ....and he disregards any role genes might've played and secretly blames it on the island like a dumbass

my big major gripe with the lotf show is the way it swaps piggy and ralph’s reactions post simon’s death and tries to make it that ralph would the one to try and rationalize it away

i feel like it makes both piggy and ralph seem really two dimensional .? like piggy being the one who understands the gravity of what they did while ralph brushes it off just feels like a very surface level interpretation of both their characters like oh the Smart one is Smart and classic dismissive ralph dismisses it idk

it’s just a disservice to both their characters in the end #tome it makes more sense for piggy to rationalize BECAUSE he’s so smart that he builds a defense to preserve his sanity while ralph would put his own feelings over it since he’s not as much of an overthinker

UGH IDK im so shit at explaining things sorry but this was my main big problem with the show because it doesn’t help the already noticeable watering down of ralph they do

You're 100% right about this- Piggy's denial and refusal of responsibility for Simon's death is the strongest bit of characterisation Piggy gets in the whole book. He is intelligent, and he is rational - so rational that he will put reality aside to maintain the straightest course to survival that is available to him. He will protect himself from reality because he needs to - and to a degree, he also needs Ralph to keep his cool. If both he and Ralph start freaking out, they're in trouble.

Ralph on the other hand is not equipped to cope with that. He knows what they did, and will not put in place the logical barriers to preserve himself.

I always loved how politicial Piggy's response feels - it's the dodging around responsibility, looking for plausible excuses. And I think that taking it away from them takes away one of the strongest lines that Ralph gives in the book:

"I'm frightened. Of us. I want to go home."

If Piggy was the one who came out of this situation afraid, he would have not gone to confront Jack at the end

makeup department COOKED with jacks makeup because wdym you have to manage his facepaint as well as his scratches and burns and how they have to HEAL throughout the episodes. this is in 1 episode alone. please note how he does his disguise for conformity vs his disguise when simon does it for him vs when he chooses to do his own. which is blue eyeshadow. from a womans suitcase. also note how he is on the verge of crying in half of these
