Look at these Lord of the Flies (1963) photos. Okay.

[beelezebub101]

fun fact! the first ever method actor was roger elwin

[yuttikkele]

I spent a couple hours coming up with middle and last names for lotf characters, and I wanted to share them :D !!

I had to give them names because I’m writing a lil fanfiction (I’m not used to writing it’s just taking some time 😭😭), and I just decided to go all out.

so here are my lotf character name headcanons and their explanations :))))) (sorry it looks off, I pasted this from my Google docs)

Ralph Mael Allebach

Mael - means “chief” so why not

Allebach - I saw other people using it.

Peterkin William “Piggy” Cunningham

Peterkin - continuing the pattern of taking names from The Coral Island. If people do not call him Piggy, they will call him either Peter or Ken because Peterkin is a stupid name.

William - just sounds British

Cunningham - like how Peterkin from The Coral Island is happy, and his last name is Gay, I decided to make Piggy’s surname reflect himself. I chose Cunningham 1. because it has the word “cunning” in it (Piggy is intelligent) 2. because it has the word “ham” in it (…Piggy) and 3. because I think it sounds good.

Jack Leopold Alaric Merridew

I think if Jack is conditioned to have others call him by his last name, his parents are probably high class and extra and decided to give him four names. I chose these because they sounded pretentious. These names are also probably taken from somewhere in his family, so I guess he’s a little German or something.

Leopold - means “brave people”

Alaric - means “all-powerful ruler”

Simon Mircea Cambourne

Mircea - means “peace”

Cambourne - apparently this is his name in one of the play adaptations? Also I saw other people using it.

Sam Andrew Voros and Eric Dashiell Voros

Andrew - just picked a name that sounds right

Dashiell - just picked a name that sounds right. also this names sounds cool

Voros - I just feel like they would be the DaVinki twins in modern times…

Roger Benjamin Elwin

Benjamin - just picked a name that sounds right

Elwin - Roger’s actor in the 1963 movie was named Roger Elwin. Apparently, he also had some similarities to Roger personality-wise.

Maurice Luca Bellomo

Luca - just picked a name that sounds right. also it means “bringer of light”

Bellomo - I saw some people, specifically mccall-me-maurice, use it.

Aaaaand that is all I have! Feel free to share your lotf name HCs with me I’d love to see them!!!

[kidddoz]

Surnames in LOTF

Something really interesting about the book relates to the usage of surnames. Throughout the entire book, there's a zillion of little boys but we only know about Jack's and Percival's.

I think this relates a lot to the idea that surnames are only useful to adults. In Jack's case, I have 2 theories:

He comes from a pretty important family, the surname "Merridew" being almost a trademark. Even though all of these kids come from pretty wealthy roots, Jack seems to be a trained leader and, maybe because of this, he knows that his surname has a pretty high regard.

Because he wants to be an adult, or at least be treated as one. This is based on his introduction in ch. 1 where he differentiates himself from the "Kids' names", thinking of "Jack" as one of them and then demanding to be referred to as "Merridew" (The funny thing is that the choir were the only ones to call him that, and then for the rest of the book we forget about this surname- after all, he's still a kid).

The second surname we hear comes from Percival, but this doesn't relate to the idea of being treated as an adult, but to show how young and naive he is. He introduces his full name (and address) not because he understands it, but because he was told to memorise it in case he was lost (this absolutely broke me istg it made me sob).

So, what's the matter with the rest? What about their surnames? Once they were on the island, it was quite obvious that surnames would have no use at all: It helped the reader remember how they were kids, and most importantly, it showed that the social class as they knew it was completely gone.

One of the things they would "gain" once they were rescued was, of course, the surnames (and a lot of mental issues lol). This is not explicit, but at the end of the book, we know that these boys lost their innocence. What holds the future? Going back to reality, stop being a painted savage and growing into their surnames.

I think that fanfiction authors do god's work in this case. My all-time favourite headcanon for Ralph is that his surname is Allback (Although I've read some variations too, which are absolutely cute). I also find it super ironic.

There are some other cases as with Roger, to which people prefer to use the Elwin surname because of the actor from the 1963 movie. It's quite a funny coincidence, and I love it.

But what about the other characters? Sam and Eric? Piggy? Simon? Maurice?

Do you have headcanons about their surnames? What is the thinking process behind them? I'd really want to know!

DAY ONE OF WEEK THREE OF FLY-BYS.

ROGER. ELWIN.

^(probably one of the most controversial thing)

(I'm listening to head over heels guys-)

(ALSO SPAM WARNING)

☆⁠ ROGER. IS. SO. HARD. TO. DRAW. (For me)

☆⁠ I've been trying different styles, and just different designs for Roger. So expect inconsistentcy

☆⁠ I don't know how to talk to make him- because when I was reading the book I imagined him, well, short, because that's how he was described. But then I also like to think that he's taller than everyone sometimes-

☆⁠ what I'm getting at is that Roger is a confusing being and I barely have any ideas for him because I'm still on my "design phase" for him.

[goddessofthedawn]

In case you missed my first extremely brief post, GUILLAUME is out today. Here's the link. Above is the cover. Below the cut is the first chapter.

If you've got .99 (or KU! or want to spend 14$ on a paperback!) please give it a shot. I am so fucking proud of this book.

. chapter one .

Whenever I am called on to share a fun fact about myself, whether it be for meeting new people or first-day-of-school activities, I always use the island. What I don’t mention is that I was close with Guillaume.

            The short story is this: six years ago, when we were all twelve or thirteen years old, our plane crashed on a deserted island. Forty-two of us survived the crash. Fifteen of us came home. The reason the rest of them didn’t isn’t because of poisonous snakes, or spiders, or good old starvation. The reason was Guillaume.

            My friendship with Guillaume is something I don’t mention when bringing up the island because Guillaume is the reason the Bolin Disaster became the Bolin Tragedy, and I was the one propping him up the whole way.

            That isn’t something you tell people.

            Lucky for me, I got away with it. Everyone was either so exhausted or tragic or confused that they forgot that where Guillaume had been, I was there, too. I even testified against him at the trial. Lucky for Guillaume, his father had enough money to hire a lawyer good enough to get him placed under psychiatric care until he turned eighteen. So six years after the island, he would be free. I have spent my six years as happily as I could have. I’m thinner than I was. I feel like it was one way or another with us island survivors: upon returning to the States, we either gorged ourselves on the sheer mass of food that was available to use, or we couldn’t stomach it. I was the latter.

            But other than that, I was fine. I finished middle school and I finished high school and I got accepted into every college I applied to. I think all of us did. There were only a select few boys who could capitalize on our tragedy, and capitalize we did. Most of us got talk shows, even. None of them were very big ones, except the ones that Kevin and Adam went on—but talk shows are talk shows. I’m sure some of us will come out with books as we get older, too.

            The college I decided on was one I’d wanted to go to since I’d been young. It was my mother’s alma mater, a private liberal arts college in New England, and I was going to study political science. A few months before the school year started, I opened an e-mail from the school that was supposed to tell me who my roommate was going to be, and I do not lie when I say that my heart nearly stopped when I saw the name:

GUILLAUME ARGOT

×

It was stupid of me to assume that, just because he was crazy, his dad couldn’t buy him into college. Whatever amount of money you’re thinking the Argots have, they have more. Guillaume’s imprisonment after the island had been very much a gilded cage; I did, at one point, look it up out of pure curiosity, and even though the image of an asylum is a pervasive one, with straightjackets, padded rooms, and electroshock therapy, that was not the case with Guillaume’s experience. Guillaume had a private room, wore his own clothes, and spent most of his time in the library. He did high school over the internet and received a diploma in the mail.

            Part of me wanted to believe that my future roommate was some other Guillaume, but how many Guillaume Argots are there in the world? Guillaume Argots going to an American college? A small, private liberal arts school that Guillaume, my Guillaume would have known… but other Guillaumes may not have?

            I heard my parents coming up the stairs. I shut my laptop.

            “Did you get the e-mail? Who’s your roommate?” my mother asked.

            “Roger,” I said, because it seemed like a fairly harmless name. “Roger Elwin. I’m going to see if I can find him on Facebook or something tonight.”

            Roger Elwin was a name my mother could buy. Roger Elwin was probably blond, tall, broad-shouldered, played basketball or football, was going into something employable. The antithesis of Guillaume. Guillaume, if he was like he had been six years ago, was small, and skinny, and black-haired, and was likely going to get a degree in literature. When you were as rich as the Argot family, you could afford to get a passion degree. I was going to go for political science, but then go on to law school. My mother was a lawyer, and my father was a lawyer, and I would be a lawyer. Guillaume would learn about literature and then probably go on getting advanced degrees until he went to jail for real.

            You could ask me why I didn’t tell my mother about Guillaume. Why I didn’t defer for a year, or go to a different college; a better college, even. Why I didn’t call the admissions office or whoever was in charge of pairing up roommates and tell them that I couldn’t room with Guillaume because when we were twelve we killed kids together. I would say that I froze, or that I didn’t want to defer enrollment, or that I believed it wasn’t my Guillaume, and all of that would be a lie. The reason I didn’t do any of that was a mix of curiosity and guilt.

            Curiosity, because I wanted to see what had become of him. I wanted to see if he was still the same, in looks and temperament, and in the little things that made Guillaume, Guillaume. The insane sweet tooth that, if his parents hadn’t been richer than God, would have bankrupted his parents on dental bills. The fact that he would read anything and everything you put in front of him: nonfiction, fiction, it didn’t matter. The one physical flaw I remembered—no matter how much sleep he got, he always had dark crescents under his eyes, like he needed about four more hours of rest.             And guilt, because I’d testified against him and gotten away scot-free.

[bubblingcolaa]

Okay, obviously, Jack is out of the bag.

But-! For the others

Roger - Elwin. (Or Wilson. I mainly go with Elwin because that's the actors name in the 1963 movie and just thought that it would be cool!) ALSO. A side headcanon that I have is that Rogers heritage is Russian. His grandparents were born in Russia, and moved over to England. His dad was born in England, but has a high Russian tradition, and a strong accent. Roger doesn't have much tradition or anything, concerning the boys school was basically his life, but, a bit of a Russian accent does pop out when he's tired and when he raises his voice.

Simon - Nelson (I don't really know why.. just thought it would be fitting)

Maurice - I'm not quite sure, I wanted to change it. But I'm pretty sure I wanted to go with La Forte. (Pronounced "fort", but I thought it would be funny/ironic because it looks like forte, as in the term in music for loud)

Ralph - Stolberg! (Thought it went well considering his dad. I just think that "General Stolberg" fits well as opposed to some others)

Piggy - My friend and I thought that Piggy comes from a rich, sophisticated family, so it would only make sense with the name "Reginald Bernadette" for him. I don't know if I want to keep it, I might, mainly because I'm lazy- (and, I like the name-)

SamNEric - I'm pretty sure I went with Smith or Schmidt for them.

Pretty sure that's it!

I know it’s a common question but…

What are your LOTF character last names?

[gokkyfanboy]

WHY DID ROGER KNOCK IT OFF HIS HAND AND KILL IT??

[the-conch-plays-c-sharp]

roger we know it’s you

[mai-studyblr]

I am aware that this most likely not Roger Elwin’s voice (although please tell me if it is) but oh my goodness I love his voice. So articulate and eloquent and British and lovely.

[christelgothamite]

"So you do know me!" Christel said cheerfully. "And you people still lied about everything. So idiotic truly" Christel rolled her eyes.

Before looking at Mary and Celeste "Elwin and Marco went last time. Now it's your turn... Nightwalker restraint" The same black testicles wrapped around Roger and kept him restrained.

"How do you want to hurt him?"

It was Saturday, so the school wasn't full of students. Only teachers being present.

They teleported to the front yard. A few steps ahead of the giant gate. The entrance, Christel glanced at the kids making sure they were doing alright.

- @christelgothamite

Elwin and Celeste balanced on each other for stability, and Marco stumbled but stood up right. Mary just stood there, swinging her bat.

Here is the complete transcription of our ancestors of James McCutchan and his mother Kathryn Ross going back to Rachel Rounds continuing back to Phillip Roundy.

Since the family spelling changed from Roundy to Rounds only the first 3 generations are listed in this book.

The Roundy Family in America

From the Sixteen-Hundreds

Compiled by

Everett Ellsworth Roundy

Let us trace on the shore the foot-prints so old,

Of our forefathers, there in the strand,-

Ere the tide of the years shall gently enfold

Their last vestiges etched in the sand.

Let us open to all, the old oaken door;

Hang the kettle to boil on the crane;

Watch the children at play on wide-boarded floor;

Hear the spinning-wheel humming again.

Let us turn back the course of Time in its flight,

As we ponder our ancestral tree;

Let us hold up those musty tomes to the light,

For posterity ever to see !

From page 3

When Phillip Roundy came to America about three hundred years ago, he could not have chosen a more fascinating village than old Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as the birthplace of the “ Roundy Family in America.” Cozily nestled in its snug harbor on the Atlantic, this thriving habitation of the Puritans was a charming gem of nature in its rich setting of evergreen forests, undulating shoreline and sandy beaches. The picture that confronted his eyes was one of rustic simplicity, as Phillip Roundy first set foot in Salem Village. Winding roads through the sylvan glades, originally outlined by wild animals or pastured cows, led Phillip towards a cluster of rugged, weatherbeaten homes, some built of logs, others of more pretentious “frame” construction. In the midst of this dreamy hamlet was the meeting house, the focal point of the Puritan fathers and dames. There on the Sabbath they listened, under the goading of the tithing-man, to a four- or five- hour discourse on the sins of this life and the inevitable and inescapable retribution to come in the next world. A little farther on was a tiny wharf, where those quaint sailing vessels of the seventeenth century paused to discharge passengers from Boston or perhaps from far away England, to add a few more homesteaders to the settlements.

Phillip Roundy settled in Salem at a time when the town was in the throes of a powerful religious turmoil. The first settlers there had practiced a rigid and unchanging moral code, and when such teachers as Roger Williams and Ann Hutchinson ventured to suggest more liberal ideas to the stiffy starched elders, strenuous remonstrances and eventual eviction from the town was the lot of the innovators.The cogent principles of ethical behavior, as later championed by Cotton Mather, were in the ascendant. Even the earnest and chaste Quakers were not permitted to remain in this place for fear of spreading an evil influence. Witchcraft was at this time beginning to make its appearance and was to reach its climax some years later with the horrors of “Gallows Hill”, when several innocent victims of fervent bigotry paid with their lives.

Little by little the commerce of the town of Salem was taking on the leadership which it maintained over other American ports for many years. As Phillip cast about for a means of earning a livelihood, it is thought that he found employment as a custodian of one of the warehouses on the waterfront.

According to Captain Collins’ Roundy genealogy of 1915, and substantiated by Mr. Elwin J. Roundy, it is assumed that Phillip Roundy was the father of Mark and Robert Roundy. Records are very meagre on this subject and it seems quite possible that Phillip might have been their brother instead. We have the date of Phillip’s marriage in Salem to Ann Bush, in November, 1671. Another record informs us that Robert married Deborah Plumb, July 13, 1678. It is supposed that Phillip was the father of Mark and Robert, through marriage with a first wife whose identity is unknown. This seems to the writer to be entirely a matter of conjecture, and may or may not be accepted, as the reader prefers.

Mark’s surname was sometimes terminated with an e and again with an s. His two sons, Joseph and Samuel, are believed to have taken the spelling Rounds and are, perhaps the ancestors of some of the persons of that name in America today.

Mark Roundy was among the band of one thousand men who broke up the Narragansett Indian tribe, and during the campaign he was wounded. King Phillip’s followers were ensconced in a huge fort near Wickfield, Rhode Island, and numbered many hundred men, women and children.

After an early period of comparative peace the savages, and white settlers of the various Massachusetts colonies, became embroiled in strife, with one aggravation leading to another. The Indians plundered and burned several villages and killed many colonists, but were always able to escape with little harm to themselves.

Early in December, 1675, an army of about one thousand determined settlers from eastern Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, undertook a punitive expedition. These men - Mark Roundy among them - set out on a forced march through the wilderness in the severe winter weather, heading for the Narragansett stronghold in the swampy section of southeastern Rhode Island. Attacking the only unfinished section of the Indian’s stockade, the white men forced an entrance after about an hour’s fighting.

Two more hours of bloody battle ensued before the surging savages were driven out. The fort was burned to the ground. Encumbered with one hundred and fifty wounded, the soldiers began the painful march of eighteen miles, in a driving snowstorm, back to their camp, arriving there at two o’clock the next morning. The dangerous power of the Indians had been broken.

Phillip Roundy died in the spring of 1678. Salem records* contain the inventory of his estate, as taken by Richard Croade and William Hollis, and allowed in court at Salem, the 27th day of April, 1678, and “administration granted to Ann, the relic of ye deceased.”

The only mention of Samuel Roundy from here on out is in a summary of the generations from Phillip with Mark Roundy.

Mark Roundy’s children were

Joseph Roundy baptized September 10, 1699

Samuel Roundy baptized February 1703 or 1704

Since this book expressly is tracking the surname of Roundy, and Samuel’s descendants used Rounds, they were excluded from this book.
