Crossposting My Slop As I Work On Actual Art Bare With Me

So real

acting like a victim

Dry humor Simon is not a take on his character I’ve really ever seen, but I am HERE for it😭✨👌

the first time I drew Simon and I finally made it digital because he's such an adorable scrunkly boy

Once again, in AWE at the sheer talent people in this tiny fandom possess—

I found a drawing I made back in January abt ch.8 and i never finished it cause I was scared of coloring it 😔

I’ll may color it ,digitally, someday :3 (most probably not)

"a view to a death"

Based off of this painting (Christ at the Column, 1430)

The way Tumblr fucks up the quality of every picture ever is pissing me off bad

I think the novel is much more general than that. Keep in mind that the way things play out on the island are meant to be a reflection of the war being fought by the adults in the background of the story. What war is being fought is never specified, and in truth, what specific war it was never really important. History has seen its fair share of dictators coming to power, just as it has seen all the violence and war that comes with it. Bringing it back to the novel, the island and what the boys do is not just a reflection of the fictional war that surrounds them in the world of the adults, but also a reflection of human history and its wars. You can swap these characters for any specific working cog in a specific war and have it make sense, because again, the story is not a metaphor for any one specific war, but the characters themselves ARE metaphors for the groups or individuals that work towards or against the creation of war and violence in human history. The boys play out this chain of events on an island that is devoid of the societies, rules, prejudices and political systems that war is often played out in, and that in itself lends to Golding’s thesis: human evil does not come about from the social constructs of the modern society, but from the innate proclivity towards evil within all of us.

Was lotf actually a metaphor for how the nazis rose to power and Simon’s death was a metaphor for the demonisation of minorities and piggy’s death was a metaphor for the assassination of political opponents and civil rights activists or was I just overthinking when I first read it

ADORE ADORE

You were able to get this painterly quality all throughout—-there’s even this marbling effect in the background that my eyes keep getting drawn to

Love that it feels like Ralph is drowning in his attempt to keep a grip of the conch (which really was representative of that familiar structure they had left long ago in the crash)

The blue waves working against him, feeling like they want to suck him back into the surface while the conch sinks deeper in the darkness is just so ARGH so poetic

a conch shell devoid of all meaning
