i have nothing funny to say. look at Maurice’s stupid dumb face
roger looks like he keeps rocks in his pockets just so he can pelt them at people
Simon is an odd character because he’s someone who genuinely loves humanity, but has had to deal with the oppressive fact humanity doesn’t love him
We see him go out of his way to be kind. But we also see the toll it takes on him. He gets mad, he has to force isolate himself, he actively doesn’t like people.
He’s not really the soft boy the fandom think he is, but he’s still at his heart genuinely kind.
Narratively, he’s supposed to be a foil to Jack and Roger. He’s someone who does love without condition and innately. Not to get something out of people, and not because of social training. But we also see vague hints of a sort of resentment towards the other boys because of course there is.
While yes, Simon is a stand in for Jesus, he’s still human and still a preteen boy. He laughs and jokes and plays and gets mad
Innately and purely, Simon is human, and a study of the condition of thus.
sharpen a stick at both ends
Roger
ralph - that one actually chill popular guy that everyone just has a mutual liking too, plays on the football team and is team captain, all the girls call him leng and ask him to snap them back. tells his annoying ass friends to stop when they make fun of some random year 7 with a big bag. amazing grades, him and jack have rivalry over it
jack - i don’t care what anyone says he’s an absolute SWAT. teachers pet, puts his hand up for every question and has all those badges on his blazer. gets made fun of for being ginger and a neek. still head choir boy in the school choir and also gets made fun of for that. predicted 8s and 9s and cried to his mum about a predicted 7. his parents definitely have him saved in their phones as “jackie sweetie pumpkin ❤️❤️”
piggy - gets picked on for every question and jack rages about it and sometimes gets sent out. exactly the same type of guy as beefy bert from horrid henry. also gets picked on but just for being fat and eating in the canteen by himself. jacks choir have their own table in the canteen and they throw food at piggy. actually pretty good grades though he just doesn’t work well under pressure.
roger - quiet ass emo looking guy no one really knows anything about but they don’t pick on him because he sent a kid to hospital once. has a criminal record. jacks closest mate, the two sing surprisingly well together. has a collection of animal skulls in his bedroom and he def has that voice that sounds like he has a blocked nose all the time. grades are in the middle ish the only reason he’s good is because he copies off of jack.
maurice - tries to be class clown. sometimes succeeds sometimes fails. only reason people like him is because he’ll do anything to get a laugh out of people. mates with roger, hes the type of guy to turn to roger and say “hey bud, why don’t you turn that frown upside down!” and he sings “i fell in love with an emo girl” at roger. completely dumb as hell tho has predicted 2s with the occasional 3 or 4. in choir but his voice is AWFUL so they got him to play piano. he plays rugby and is an INSANE tackler.
samneric - class clowns that are actually funny. also relatively good grades. they switch classes to mess up their teachers but one time eric fell down the stairs and broke his nose so you could tell the two apart. they’re funny at the right place in the right time and they’re in the year below jack, ralph, simon etc and they look up to maurice. they follow around jack and his choir or ralph but jack gets mad when they hang out with ralph and not him.
simon - also quiet kid but he’s painfully shy. pretty nice overall and he’s friends with ralph which is the only reason he doesn’t get picked on. people whisper about him though and he’s like a time bomb you never know when he’s gonna lose it. that one kid that has every pet at home known to mankind and he def brought his ferret into school once. in choir with jack and the others and they’re actually pretty nice to him, he hangs out with maurice and bill and harold etc. also piggy’s only friend. but secretly doesn’t really like him.
extra :
-the littluns are the year 7s that run for their lives to the canteen
-jack and maurice use brainrot language and jack will angrily huff “what the sigma?!” when he can’t figure something out
-jack and ralph both did the school play one year and actually became pretty good friends but then stopped talking for some unknown reason

simon as a 1970s hippie
hcs below!!! :3
survived the boys attacking him—several of his wounds got infected and they needed to amputate his leg
was a flower child b4 flower children were a thing
became a hippie and stayed a hippie thru the 60s–70s
used medical marijuana b4 medical marijuana was a thing (helps his hallucinations)
owns a lizard named janis but he exclusively calls her arsehole❤️
kept in contact with ralph and WILL call him 10000 times a day (his wallet is crying)
gender nonconforming :3
ralph is very confused by this but just lets him do whatever
vegan, partly cuz of the island, partly cuz he loves animals
flew to america for woodstock ‘69 and got stuck there for a week
Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.
