GSUYSGUYSGUYSGUYSGUSYGSUYSGSUYSGUYS I GOT THE GRAPHIC NOVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO HAPPYY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (read below the cut for a very long, amateur written review :3)
The graphic novel was SO FUCKING GOOD. The art, the writing (which it is just basically the original book so it's good lol), and just EVERYTHING is perfect. Gonna get my only complaint out of the way real quick: Roger didnt get to go on that one mission thing with Jack and Ralph like he does in the og book 💔💔. Also I just really wanted a shot of him after Piggy's death but yknow I cant be mad there wasnt one lol.
ANYWAYS. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING. One thing I really want to mention is the color and atmosphere. Good, pretty, and meaningful coloring is a thing I really aspire to achieve in my art (I obviously havent gotten there yet) but this book pulls it off PERFECTLY. It sets the tone and atmosphere for every scene perfectly. Simon's death and meeting with the Lord of the Flies, the first fire, the last fire, the green of the woods, Ralph's emotions(theres one page, that's probably my favorite page, where they just show Ralph's feelings basically and its beautiful) are all portrayed PERFECTLY.
Another thing, this book literally almost made me cry. Simon's death made me put down the book and take a break for a couple minutes. This ONE SCENE WITH RALPH AND PIGGY. JUST THE INAGE OF THEM SOBBING AND HOLDING EACHOTHER MADE ME SO FREAKING UPSET.
Piggy's death made me so sad and the ENDING. OH THE ENDING. THERES THIS ONE PAGE AT THE END THATS JUST SEVERAL IMAGES OF THE KIDS CRYING AND IT MADE ME LIKE PUT MY HAND OVER MY MOUTH. LIKE WHAT. THERES ONLY BEEN LIKE A COUPLE OR SO OTHER BOOKS THAT HAVE MADE ME THIS UPSET. NOT EVEN THE ORIGINAL NOVEL DID. (Except for Piggy and Simon's deaths. But like, they 1. Only hit me that hard on the second reading and 2. I dont think that I had THIS big of reaction to them anyway. Similar, but less extreme).
This book means so much to me. I'll be getting my own copy of the original soon and I cant wait to reread it once again. Please, if you have the money and patience to wait for shipping, BUY THIS BOOK. Whether it be the beautiful graphic novel or the amazing original novel. Please just read this book.
Thanks for reading my silly review :)
lotf content 🤑🤑 lol (EDIT: THATS SIMON IN THE VIDEO NOT ROGER!!!! SIMONS DESIGN COMPARED TO THE ROGER ART MAKES THEM LOOK THE SAME OOPS)(EDIT 2: The watermark on the Roger art says GSM because my username on youtube is godstatusmickey and I post more on there than here lol)
does roger run over this liberal?
what if. what if you drew ralph giving piggy a piggy back 🥀🥀
yeah sure thing. this gave me two different ideas
“i can be your angle😇😇… or yuor devil😈😈”
yncensored version of the last drawing under the cut
it’s not even that bad i just don’t want to accidentally trigger anyone yk😓😓 anyways this is an alternative universe where instead of RUNNING AWAY LIKE A COWARD, ralph runs down castle rock and tries to carry piggy to safety
cmon piggy hold on for me!! just wait! maybe a ship’ll come and they’ll save you😁😁
can the lotf hyperfixation end already i don’t like this place
queer hcs r so humbling sometimes bc why am i imagining piggy using he/they/she
piggy. no glasses bc HE CANONICALLY DOESNT HAVE GLASSES KN THIS SCENE OK HES STILL PIGGY
lotfmas secret Santa submission for : @cherryiscoolxd
Ralph wanted some help with the tree decor, but might’ve made a mistake inviting Simon (who proceeded to invite the rest of the choir)
sorry for taking so long with this I’ve been so busy lately💔💔 but I GOT IT IN ON TIME SO ITS OK💪
also: Piggy is trying to peek inside the gifts while Roger is trying to launch rocks at si
