Hello everyone! So I’m probably gonna tag this as rant because that’s 100% what this is, but I’m getting really sick and tired of people being like “lord of the flies is a phase” or making fun of those who are in the fandom and are passionate about the book. It’s a work of literature, it should be treated as such. There are Harry Potter fans or Percy Jackson fans who are OBSESSED with the series and they don’t get told that their interest is “weird.” I’m not quite sure if it’s because Lord of the Flies isn’t a modern book and a requirement to read in most schools, but nobody should be shocked that there’s a fandom. There’s a fandom for pretty much every single book or series out there. An interest in a book should never be brushed off as a phase or something that will just go away, because there are people who are really passionate about it. Denying someone’s passion because the book is older or because you don’t hear about people liking it often is bullshit.

If you like a book, you like a book. You shouldn’t have to listen to people tell you that what you like isn’t going to be something you like forever. Passions and interests are valid and if you do grow out of them, that’s alright! But if the feelings never go away, that’s perfectly fine too.

Okay rant over, I’m just sick of people making fun of me for liking lotf

Maurice: *kicks open the door, looking panicked*

Ralph: What did you do?

Robert, bursting in after him: NOBODY DIED

Ralph: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT

[the-conch-plays-c-sharp]

Piggy: Sorry it took me so long to bail you out of jail

Maurice: No, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t’ve used my one phone call to prank call the police

[the-conch-plays-c-sharp]

Maurice: CAN I GET A HECK YEAH?!

Roger: I don't know, can you?

Maurice: May I get a heck yeah?

Jack: You should have gotten a heck yeah during lunch.

Maurice: But I didn't need a heck yeah during lunch

Ralph, being hunted down by everyone else: I don't think I can gaslight gatekeep girlboss my way outta this one, boys

[the-conch-plays-c-sharp]

Simon: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Eric: Several traffic violations.

Sam: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Maurice: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Bill: Also, that’s not our car.

[the-conch-plays-c-sharp]

Jack: I learned some very valuable lessons from this.

Ralph: I’m guessing they're all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should have taken away?

Jack: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically god

ralph was a rock-climbing kid with their fuckin chalky ass hands and then they repel down and they’re either just too close to the wall that they can’t bounce off with their legs or just too far so they just dangle like a fucking wet cat
