[multishipperbish]

i'll be honest with you chief i'm kind of struggling to write two characters falling in love.

writing from ralph's perspective was the worst mistake i've ever made. he's impossible for me to understand. i should have done jack. is 35 chapters too late to switch POVs? asking for a friend.

[pommie-pup]

[lord-of-simons-ghost]

Welcome to my goofy little LOTF blog!! I figured this was easier than slamming my main with lotf stuff. For those of you who are new, I'm Kam or Jane (she/they) and I'm just some silly teen artist who has a little too much spare time! Feel free to discuss anything related to LOTF, whether its the book or movie (which I have not seen) with me!!

I support the vast majority of ships within the fandom, I do not judge! I don't make direct ship related content, but I guess you can interpret my "ship" stuff as Jalph (if you squint), but please keep in mind I separate ships from the book. I value the meaning and symbolism (and just about everything else) of the book very much but I try to keep things silly and light hearted.

This is a safe space for everyone, I do not tolerate hate or harassment! Try to keep discussions related to LOTF or art if possible in my comments/asks

Main: @art-eat3r

[autismguy55]

holds you at gunpoint I want to know who you ship (new to the fandom) (has no idea why people are shipping them) (interested though)

Anon you are going to get a target put on my back. I like jalph (my apologies) but to me they’re more interesting as a trauma bond than an AWW THEY’RE SO CUTE TOGETHER :3 type thing. It’s like watching a car crash. I want to hit their brains with sticks. I need to write a full in depth case study of both of them.

I don’t really think about any other ships apart from platonic ones. Simon and Piggy besties is funny… the Ralph, Piggy, Simon friend group is like a free route directly into my heart to kill me immediately. Jack and Roger have that kind of “we’re hanging out together because we’re the only ones who can stand each other” friendship going on. It’s hilarious.

Thank you for the ask!

[rainbowguru]

okqy so moves like jager motivated me so expect more soon, some will include:

Ace of Hearts (A Ralger fanfic)

(Maybe) Sugar And Spice (Jalph)

Boys Will Be Bugs (Jimon/Jamon)

House Party (Ralmon)

An unnamed angsty Jalph fic

And a possible, currently unnamed, Moves Like Jager sequel because I love twoshots

[mccall-me-maurice]

Jalph au where Jack is a small town librarian with dyslexia and Ralph is a New York model who came from the small town and he’s kind of snobby but generally has a kind heart (especially compared to other models) so they grew up together and they meet again when Ralph goes back to spend the final days of his mother’s life by her side and they just… gay :)

yeah i think abt this a lot

[foragergnome]

For the one word writing prompts: 16 (daybreak) and jalph! (Love your writing <3)

daybreak

omg omg thank you for another request!! I made this one with my wwi au in mind, so I hope you don't mind :)) this is real good practice on my part!

word count : 1,167

Ralph Ackerson always liked to get an early start to his day. He would wake before daybreak, while the sky was still dark and there were the littlest rays of light just barely peeking over the horizon. It was cold out, this particular autumn morning of 1916, and the world still seemed quiet-- other than the sounds of war, of course, that never seemed to rest nor cease, and remained stagnant through the night. Ackerson had grown numb to the distant sound of bombshells and gunfire, yet he knew of the danger before him. Everyday was a risk, a step closer to an unpredictable death. He knew of this, as did most of the other soldiers. Yet Ackerson seemed to hold onto this the most, making room for a more serious, grim side that he did not know existed until the war broke out.

As he grabbed his coat that cold and dark early morning, and exited the sleeping accommodation that he stayed in, his head seemed to clear. The morning haze had not yet grown, and the crickets still danced and sang their song of peace, of a tranquil night. The moon was not visible this night, covered by the clouds of war. Yet Ackerson felt a small hint of calmness, and he savored that. He enjoyed a morning to himself, to recollect. And he knew, soon, the others would wake and they would fly out together, after a restless night of sleep.

He turned a corner, finding his aeroplane beneath a large structure, many other planes accompanying the large Armstrong fighters that stood proudly in the dark. Many of the crickets had ceased, as he had walked further from the forest, and into the night. Grass and farmlands crunched beneath his tight boots, yet dark-- he could be stepping on bones, for all the aviator knew, and that did not comfort him.

As he made his way towards his plane, his kit strapped upon his back, he heard a snap, and a rustle somewhere deep inside the structure. Ackerson paused. There was a moan of metal, a creak, and he crept slowly forward, reaching for the small, handheld artillery over his shoulder. His heart had pounded, and the sounds of shelling seemed to become much more noticeable-- was this a threat? A spy? A plan of attack? There were no German planes, no Albatrosses in sight-- but why would a German soldier be away from the front lines, and worry about the aircraft side of things? Perhaps they all had a role, a mission in this war, only being told what they were supposed to do.

Now, the rustling turned into a sound of unscrewing beneath one of the planes, and Ackerson noticed a light shining out from beneath it. Thumping. Penetration. Ackerson drove himself forward, ready to attack whoever this spy was, terrified on his part.

The person came out from beneath the plane, and sprang up, faster than lightning, and--

"Merridew! What are you doing?"

Jack Merridew, one of Ackerson's best mates-- though they seemed to have grown further apart, since the war broke out, and neither could understand why. The war should have brought them closer, and yet, it made things complicated between the two. Both enlisted to fight, both ready and eager to enter the war by sky, something had snapped. And it was only because of Ackerson's bitter mood, that one time.

"You're never up this bloody early," the blonde continued, as Merridew strode forward to greet the shorter one.

"Well, I just thought I could take her out for a small ride before I go out for an actual fight," Merridew responded, surprisingly more calm than angry. He added, "I promise, I will keep it low."

"There's no keeping it low, I don't think. A German will spot you in seconds!"

"Not while it is still dark outside. You take this too fuckin' seriously, Ralph!" He pauses. "I'd be fine." His voice is softer.

Ackerson was reluctant to respond to this, the softness of his voice making himself soft, as he gazed upon his supposed best mate and fellow comrade. He couldn't get too attached, however, knowing one of them was sure to die-- there would be no denying, or rather, no certainty of what was to come. He looked down, unsure of what to say-- because, maybe Merridew was right. It was still dark.

The ginger stood there for a moment, and they were quiet. He stepped around Ackerson, and the pilot looked up to watch as he strolled outside and sat down in the darkness, the dawn light just hardly creeping upwards to make itself seen. Ackerson went after him, and then stood next to Merridew, silent.

"Whatever happened to us, Ralph? Whatever happened to the times before this? Before the war?"

Ackerson let out a soft breath. "I can't recall, Jack." He hugs himself. "I'm not sure of the past, or the future anymore. I'm just trying to stay in the moment, don'tcha know?"

"We were in love." 

It was a quick whisper, and Ackerson was silent. Merridew continued.

"We loved each other. And I don't understand it, but the bloodshed tore us apart. Christ, it was the killing, wasn't it?" His voice is even, but hard, sounding almost angry, "Watching the first kill, the first plane, go down in flames. You just don't think about it anymore, do you?"

Ackerson took a breath. He let the silence fill the air, for a moment longer, before he slowly placed himself down onto the ground next to Jack. He looked to his friend, and placed a hand on the other's shoulder. They looked at one another, in the dark, both looking much different than they did before the war.

"'Course it was the war, Jack," Ackerson whispered, "What else would it be?"

Merridew's eyes darkened for a moment, in the already dark world. "That's bloody stupid. It shouldn't have done that. We should've bonded over the kills, not get angry with each other."

"But it happened anyways," Ackerson said, his voice hoarse, "And you're right. It was really stupid of us. Two bastards, distancing ourselves from the good times the others make, and for what?" 

Merridew nodded in silent agreement.

The two turned to look to the sky, the great haven where they would be in an hour's time, when everyone would wake. An accumulation of blue and navy began to mix above, and the first lights of day began to rise above the horizon. A beautiful sight during such a dark time, and Ackerson felt his head lower until it rested upon his friend's shoulder, and they sat, two unpredictable lovers in the daybreak. 

"It's beautiful, isn't it? Something to hold onto, while we're flying in the sky. Something to wait for, to agree on. The sunrise," Jack whispered, and he sounded strangely sad.

Ralph wrapped his hand around the other's. "We will see it again, Jack. And it will be better than before."

[milf-merridew]

okay trans jack au brainrot time (if youre gonna shit on me for hcing jack as trans youre transphobic <3 /hj)

okay so in my au, jack thinks hes a cis girl when he comes to the island but as he spends more time there, away from the hyper-feminine gender roles hes been raised with he soon realises he Might Not Be A Girl

idk if ill make this a modern au, probably so he doesnt get fuckin hate crimed and murdered <3

anyway, also i hc that thats why he asks everyone to call him chief when hes like the leader of the tribe, so they dont call him his deadname, they call him "chief"

and like in this au when they get back to Normal Life, and go back to school n shit, jack tells his mother hes trans (lets pretend the dad is on work trips a lot so hes out of the picture for now) and starts living as a boy at school, which obviously makes his reputation go down by a lot, and because everyone loves aus where ralph transfers to jacks school, guess what,,,, ralph transfers to jacks school so he can be closer w the friends that are still alive after the island (ill probs make it that simon and piggy are miraculously alive somehow just so ralph can have some friends other than jack <3) also i hc ralph as using he/they which i think is very swag of me

also simon uses he/she/they/it <33333

the fact ive gotten to the point of hcing lotf characters as trans and enby is,,,,, sad to say the least /hj

also lets bet jack has some mad internalised homophobia coz he feels that if he were gay it would make him Less Of A Man so hes like No I Dont Like Boys At All Definitely Not

oh also warning theres some jalph in this au

tbh he probs lowkey had a crush on ralph on the island but coz he "was a girl" he was like yeah this is fine, but by the time he knew he was a boy he didnt like ralph and was against him so

also unlabelled sexuality ralph supremacy <3

anyway ralph liked jack on the island and before that he didnt think he liked girls, probs had never liked anyone before so he was like yeah i like a girl, then obvs they became enemies and the feeling went, so now jack is a boy, hes like oh alright then guess i like boys, i feel like ralph wouldnt care too much abt his sexuality but jacks over here having a heart attack trying to make himself straight,

also i feel like coz jacks reputation would have gone down coz yk he came out as trans, i feel like he wouldnt have as many friends, probs just the main choir boys, like roger and maurice but then he becomes friends w ralph, simon and piggy, and samneric are probs in there somewhere too

also hc that jacks dad is mad lgbtphobic, like whenever his dad comes home jack has to look all feminine and normal, oh my god imagine one day coz his dad is home he has to go to school presenting feminine and like gets sad coz dysphoria <33 but his friends help him through it

and before anyone comes at me for bad trans rep, i am trans so <3

yeah thats all i have for now ill add more later, please feel free to send asks to ask questions abt this au i would love to ramble about it :]

[lotf-brainrot]

making assumptions ab u based off of ur favorite lotf characters!! (pls don't take this too seriously)

ralph: u felt rly bad for him or just related to him? idk pretty normal. also u like the pretty-boy characters lol.

piggy: you think he deserved better and hate all the hunters. i also think u might be the voice of reason in ur friend group aswell, meaning u related to him the most (or ur the group dumbass and just need someone like piggy as a friend)

jack: u have a thing for bastardly antagonists. u also either ship jalph or HATE it with the passion of a thousand suns. also u are willing to admit he was an asshole or u get mad at people for not acknowledging how complex he is

simon: u kin him sorry..... or u like those characters who wouldnt hurt a fly/have a good moral compass. nonetheless, chapter 9 ripped your heart out and you will never forgive golding for it

samneric: *kisses you*. ok but seriously u like those characters who just try their best and don't really have any ill intent. also u thought samneric's interactions with each other were funny (same)

maurice: u laugh at the stupidest shit and had a phase where quoting vines was ur personality. also, you're a cat person i assume?

roger: get help. PLEASE (on a serious note, u just like emos. that's it.)

any character i did not name: ur doing amazing!!! u just like background characters because u get to make a fuck-ton of headcanons ab them. ur probably a very creative person!!

[internetgremlin-writes]

HI OMFG BIG FAN OMG i was wondering if you could post a book recommendation list?? i know you’ve read the night manager (which im planning to buy too now because im so whipped for tom) and idk i trust you on your taste musically so i think you also know lots about novels (and i really need i get back into reading omfg) IDK i wanted to give you a reason to post an actual list so it wont get lost in the chatroom and bcs your blog followers are probably interested too ANYWAY LOVE YOU 💕💕💕💕

This is probably a good place to pick up from post-hiatus. It’s been a while, I know, I’ll talk about it at the end of this. 

This list is by no means any kind of actual rating, this is just some of my all-time faves that I feel everyone should read at least at some point in their life 

Let’s start with the series:

- Harry Potter by JK Rowling –> this goes without saying, I literally grew up repeatedly reading these books

- The Maze Runner by James Dashner –> oh boy these are perfection and beyond. Honestly obsessed. If you want a teen dystopian novel with post-apocalyptic lord of the flies vibes, then you are in the right place. Also perf for ambiguous gay ships designed purely to rip your heart out 

- Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan –> there are like 10 of these books in total and they be chunky, so if you want something to keep you quiet for a while then I highly recommend! Easy to read and have everything you could want from adventure books, including narration from an ADHD dyslexic teenage boy which makes everything so dam funny 

- Northern Lights by Phillip Paulman –> these are great for something a bit more sophisticated read, kind of complex but fascinating and a brilliant concept

 - The James Herriot books –> these might be a bit specific, but if you like animals you’ll probs enjoy them. James Herriot (pen name for Alf White) was an English Veterinary Surgeon in the 1930s, the books are anecdotal stories from his career and whilst some of them are *quite* out of date, they are heart-warming and brilliant 

And now for the individual novels:

- The Night Manager by John Le Carre –> I got into this because our beloved Tom Hiddleston was in the TV adaptation and honestly the book did not disappoint. Ngl it does help if you can picture Jonathan as Tom (hehe) but the whole novel is captivating if you can stomach slightly old hand and political writing 

- High Rise by J. G. Ballard –> oof this is a fun one! This book is my current read and again the film adaptation features our Tommy boy, which is delightfully helpful for the imagination. Imagine an adult version of lord of the flies and you’re on the right page for this 

- Lord of the Flies by William Golding –> and here we are. A widely studied novel but pls do not let you put this off, boys stranded on an island. Chaos is guaranteed and the themes are great. Probs one of my fave books of all time, and not just bc I ship Jalph. Also a nice narrative on human nature and who doesn’t love being called out?

- The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger –> this is a beautiful book with a mental health narrative. I can’t quite pinpoint the reason I love it so much, but it whacked me when I first read it and I’ve adored it ever since

- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky –> kind of a modern-day Catcher in the Rye, again the focus is on mental health, love, loss, friendship and trauma. Am assuming most of you have seen the film, Charlie is a bean, you can’t help but love it

- The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness –> this is another one that I didn’t expect to love but did. Gay pining, characters in pain, all based in a town of superhuman kids at superhero high school. Can I get a yes, please?

- Starter for 10 by David Nicholls -> this book is very important to me because it just hit home wholly and completely. Based in 1985, it follows the story of Brian Jackson, a working class kid from Southend as he navigates his first year at university. It's funny and sweet and awkward but for me it encapsulated everything that I went through in my first year and for that it will always have a special place in my heart

That’s all I can think of atm but will add more as they come to mind!

Now, I should probably address the whole two-year absence. So, I did A-levels, and then I got a boyfriend who I spent far too much time and energy on to get treated the way I did, also had a lot of work to do with my horse coming back from an injury, then dumped said arsehole bf, went off to uni and got whacked in the face by a SHIT TON of work and I won’t lie to you guys, it was a lot harder than I expected. Also spent a lot of my downtime getting drunk because yanno, uni. Then got another boyfriend after several bad experiences and he’s very lovely. We have been together for just over a year, if you want an idea of what he’s like imagine Hugh Grant (big heart eyes). Then got (another) horse who is a total baby and needs so much work and she’s a bit of an asshole atm. Also my uni course means that my holidays are spent on placements (perks of being a vet student amirite) so I have barely even looked at my tumblr in this time gap. Anyway, now there is covid and I am back and bored. The plan is to take up writing again now that my exams are done and I have a little bit of free time so yes, all those requests I ignored will finally get done (if any of you are even here anymore, I hope you are) 

It’s nice to be back
