Jack Merridew: Are we making him too pretty?
For all you Merri-Dames, Jack Merridew may’ve been written as ‘ugly,’ but it’s not unreasonable to say that Golding was simply describing what we’d perceive as normal genetic redhead physique. Considering the prejudice towards redheads during that period - especially from the British towards the Irish, Scottish, and anyone else known for these historically demonized set of physical features - it’s not unreasonable that Merridew was “ugly” purely because he was ‘ginger.’ So you can make him as pretty as you want while still staying true to canon, so long as Jack remains ‘ginger.’ 😎
Bust commission for @salmonandsoup ! Thank you so much <3
Ass-mar???
sucks to your ASMR
Part 2: My take on the Lord of the Flies book cast
More on my approach towards depicting the LOTF cast (idfk how many of these I’m gonna make), including “signature” looks
• Jack: popped collar, sometimes goes for punk, sometimes goes for classy, messier hair, slightly more roughed up, his relationships with everyone is somewhat balanced; that is to say in general, he dislikes his enemies as much as he likes his friends with Ralph-Piggy-Roger being exceptions, can be surprisingly generous if he so chooses
• Ralph: bracelet, short sleeves, knows how to pose! Stands relaxedly but exudes confidence and authority, his expressions give a small sense he’s holding some of his emotions back for the sake of others (however, Jack brings them out full swing), occasionally hangs with Maurice one-on-one for similar tastes in media, kinda protective of Simon & Piggy
• Simon: some grunge, some industrial look (bracelet, necklace), short sleeve and waist-tied or unzipped cargo/utility jacket; a bit messy but in a charming way, somewhat similar to Roger style-wise but while they have the occasionally friendly interaction, Roger always says something to purposefully ruin the mood
• Roger: I was originally gonna give him peekabangs on his beauty mark side but that’s a lot of facial intrigue on one man, track boots, oversized tops, longer sleeves to better cover bloody hands - think Ichimatsu but “slutty” lmfao, he blanches a bit quicker than he tans, somewhat clingy towards Jack (and Ralph if Jack isn’t there)
• Piggy: casual but groomed, higher socks, rarely overdresses, occasionally dons contacts, gives the vibe that he feels he’s surrounded by idiots, hates both Jack & Roger of course but Roger gives him more room to fight back because it’s more fun that way, doesn’t admit how much he still seeks Ralph’s approval despite acting as if he has matured since
• Maurice: never wears short sleeves, just long-sleeves rolled up, I feel like he and Bill had a short-lived thing once that they refuse to talk about, with the latter not particularly pleased about Maurice’s allegiance to Jack (nor interactions with Roger who’s purposefully a home-wrecker in spite of Rice ignoring it)
•Samneric: raglan, occasionally wears different clothes from each-other and they are conflicted as to what this means for them as twins, one of them might be experimenting with jewelry and the other with hats - dunno which ones, both resent Roger for reasons, one resents Piggy and seeks to be Ralph’s second in command, one resents Simon for being Ralph’s spiritual/emotional center
