I feel like the jump where they've been surviving for months or so already was way too drastic but also I wouldn't want to read kids dancing around a fire for like 5 chapters. but they HAD to build up the beast to make Simon's death actually mean something‼‼‼

Kill me but I absolutely HATE hate HATE. The way that LOTF was structured. The first part of the book was literally just yapping and then it goes seriously downhill out of nowhere and then the end is just like. They got rescued XD! WHAT

im always like "hmm maybe I'm not as aro as I thought" but then I see allo people and im like. oh wow. im extremely aromantic compared to them huh.

something I've been stewing on for a while now, but I need lotf fans to understand the book has some inherent racism like a lot of classics. and I feel like that's something we should be discussing more often.

of course the rampant nationalism is essential to the boys' characteristics. its part of what makes them shitty preteens. but the slurs and racist remarks that have been edited or removed in the book are part of the larger themes of savagery that are, ultimately, racist. I've discussed before some more nuanced takes like Jack's red hair connecting him to unsavory depictions of Jews/Irishmen, but there isn't much nuance to this. Lord of the Flies is a book that delves deeply into indigenous stereotypes. and when we discuss/depict this "descent into savagery" we all need to be a little more aware of that.

much love for this fandom but please be cognizant of this, especially if you're a younger fan. always be critical of the media you consume.
