Roger design by @ziggylupin
Drawn by mešššš
Errr.. drawings from today ig, idk why I always lock in whenever Iām in English and science class and draw what Iād say are my favorite drawings so far,
O also tysm @ziggylupin ((idk why is not linking it, I swear theyāre a real person, please Iām not insane i swearšš)) for letting me use ur old lotf Roger design :D
Js a sneak peek of the full page I drew on today, Iāll show it later when Iāve colored the full page, oh also js randomly have Butters hidden in the photo, he kinda look a little ugly tho itās okay
I might post the full page tmw, I have violin lessons in two hours and Iām not home rn to color the page fully ;-;
Drew this during reading, donāt mind the ugly ahh colors, I had to make due with what I had, also messed up multiple times, I accidentally smudged Rogerās eyes and Jacks hairš
(Ignore how Iāve changed their designs like 3 times now, still working on it)
accurate accurate
roger
iāve seen a similar post on here iāll tag who i was inspired by, but i just wanted to share one of my interpretations about roger and perhaps an explanation as to why he acts why he does, this isnāt canon at all itās just my interpretation and thoughts and iām aware the killing of the sow is meant to interpret how boys were taught to treat woman as the female pigs were the only female things on the island.
( tw for SA mention and racism )
alright so we know roger is a part of jacks choir, described as a āquiet furtive boyā (this will be important later), who we donāt see much of until chapter 4 when heās with maurice and the littluns and towards the end of the book. during the killing of the sow, we all know roger pushes his spear into the pigs ass which the boys all find funny; āa phrase which was received uproariouslyā but why?Ā
this book was set in the time when the book was written, around 1940-1950, and as we know roger is in a presumably strict catholic choir with jack and the others. around that time period, the church held a lot of power over people and especially schools. this then meant that vicars, priests and other people of the church were extremely respected people. because of this as im sure weāve heard in instances before, child sexual abuse was in fact alarmingly common and unreported in the church, especially back then when churches had so much power. iām sure you can see what iām trying to imply here but itās a possibility that jacks choir couldāve been in the same unfortunate situation.
now, when i said roger is described as a āquiet, furtive boyā, this could represent how kids that had succumbed to sexual abuse acts in the church were told to stay silent about what was happening, and/or turn a blind eye when it happened to other people. then with the killing of the sow, what roger did isnāt normal and clearly isnāt something that should be the first thing that comes to mind when you see a female pig. this could mean that an adult had told him that that stuff was okay, thus why he did what he did. sexual abuse victims often also become angry and develop personality disorders because theyāre confused and scared and they donāt understand whatās happening to them, this also would further explain rogerās āsadisticā behaviour, and inability to communicate a lot.Ā
iād like to add in something about simon too, how heās in the forest and watches the killing of the sow take place but doesnāt do anything. in my opinion, this heavily represents seeing something take place (sexual abuse in the church) but being taught to stay silent because itās the āright thing to do.āĀ
alright this is the second part of my essay which is my other interpretation which in my opinion could lead roger to act the way he does. throughout the book, roger is described as having a dark complexion, but sometimes itās hard to tell whether golding is talking about dark nature-wise or in skin colour. sometimes throughout the book though you can tell heās of a dark complexion such as; āthe swarthiness of his skinā āa dark face appearedā and the fact heās so dark he doesnāt tan. taking this into account i personally am very convinced roger isnāt white. in chapter 4 when roger throws stones at henry, it quotes āround the squatting child was the protection of parents and the school and policemen and the lawā also in the time period when this was set, it was common for policemen to pick on kids that arenāt white because they hold a prejudice against them, the same of which couldāve happened to roger pre-island. it doesnāt say anything else which could have a meaning to racism anywhere in the book but itās just an interpretation i thought of, that roger couldāve been subjected to racial profiling before the island thus another reason as to why hes āuncommunicativeā and rather aggressive.Ā
thank you for reading this! again iād just like to remind that this is just an interpretation, none of this is canon and it was just a thought of mine id like to share!Ā this was inspired by @shaky-b0n3s post šš
samneric in another universe
whered his melanin go AND WHYS HE BEEN BUZZED šš„

NOT MY ART ā¼ļøā¼ļø
ESPECIALLY in @dally-cola-aka-money artstyle i love your art and the way you draw roger made me immediately think of scar
i can 100% see roger saying āi vont to steel ze moonā
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 donāt care what anyone says heās 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 ājackie sweetie pumpkin ā¤ļøā¤ļøā
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 doesnāt work well under pressure.
roger - quiet ass emo looking guy no one really knows anything about but they donāt 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 heās 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 heāll do anything to get a laugh out of people. mates with roger, hes the type of guy to turn to roger and say āhey bud, why donāt you turn that frown upside down!ā and he sings āi fell in love with an emo girlā 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. theyāre funny at the right place in the right time and theyāre 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 heās painfully shy. pretty nice overall and heās friends with ralph which is the only reason he doesnāt get picked on. people whisper about him though and heās like a time bomb you never know when heās 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 theyāre actually pretty nice to him, he hangs out with maurice and bill and harold etc. also piggyās only friend. but secretly doesnāt 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 āwhat the sigma?!ā when he canāt 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
lotf headcanon that rogerās parents are convinced their son is the nicest boy on earth he comes home from school and says āi had a great day today mummy i learnt so much in mathematics and geography and my choir practice is going swimminglyā when in reality him and jack threw paninis and rocks at year 4s and played bogies in the back of the classroom
WOAH THAT LOOKS SO COOL
Honestly just wanted to make sure I still knew how to draw more than just people with dots for eyes.
THATāS SO COOL AND I KOVE YOUR ARTSTYLE!!

Teacher: Okay guys, get your books out, we're doing slient reading.
Jack, whispering: Ralph, do you have any snacks.
Ralph, whispering: Yeah.
Piggy: I want some.
Jack: Of course, you do.
Ralph: ...
Jack: What kind of snacks do you have?
Ralph: Uh, cookies, laffy taffys, sour airhead things.
Jack: I want the cookies
*Ralph gets the cookies out and hands them to Jack.*
Ralph, looking over at Roger on his phone, hiding it behind his book, which is upside down: Is that a good book Roger?
Roger: What..?
Simon: Your book is upside down..
Roger: ...
*The whole classroom is slient and all you hear is Jack opening up a bag of cookies, loudly.*
Ralph: ...Really?
Jack, taking a bite of the cookie: Um, yeah
*Jack takes a bite of the cookie and over half of it breaks and falls onto his shirt.*
Ralph: On your white shirt too.
*Jack's face gets red with embarrassment and Jack and Ralph both start bursting out laughing.*
Teacher: Are we reading guys?
Roger, with his book still upside down and his phone hidden behind it: I am.
Teacher: Roger honey, your book is upside down.
Roger: This book is stupid anyways.
Ralph: Me and Jack are also reading.
Piggy: Nuh uh, you two are too busy eating.
Jack: ...Piggy just shut up and give me one of your reese eggs.
*About two minutes later*
Jack, in a panic: Guys, where's my reese egg?
*Ralph and Simon, looking at the reese egg literally sitting on Jack's chest*
Ralph: Not a clue Jack.
Simon: ...It's on-
Roger: Simon, can you read my essay?
*The reese egg was not found until it started to slide down his shirt and he thought it was a bug and threw it across the room.*
