have some more asks, baby percival! Rumor has it, roger bites littluns toes. I have to know if this is factual
“When I get older, I’ll ruin your life, Roger… Just you wait,,,”
I draw Percival and Roger together a lot now that I think about it, but it’s always Percival internally tormenting him or trying to gather blackmail material from him😭

Surnames in LOTF
Something really interesting about the book relates to the usage of surnames. Throughout the entire book, there's a zillion of little boys but we only know about Jack's and Percival's.
I think this relates a lot to the idea that surnames are only useful to adults. In Jack's case, I have 2 theories:
He comes from a pretty important family, the surname "Merridew" being almost a trademark. Even though all of these kids come from pretty wealthy roots, Jack seems to be a trained leader and, maybe because of this, he knows that his surname has a pretty high regard.
Because he wants to be an adult, or at least be treated as one. This is based on his introduction in ch. 1 where he differentiates himself from the "Kids' names", thinking of "Jack" as one of them and then demanding to be referred to as "Merridew" (The funny thing is that the choir were the only ones to call him that, and then for the rest of the book we forget about this surname- after all, he's still a kid).
The second surname we hear comes from Percival, but this doesn't relate to the idea of being treated as an adult, but to show how young and naive he is. He introduces his full name (and address) not because he understands it, but because he was told to memorise it in case he was lost (this absolutely broke me istg it made me sob).
So, what's the matter with the rest? What about their surnames? Once they were on the island, it was quite obvious that surnames would have no use at all: It helped the reader remember how they were kids, and most importantly, it showed that the social class as they knew it was completely gone.
One of the things they would "gain" once they were rescued was, of course, the surnames (and a lot of mental issues lol). This is not explicit, but at the end of the book, we know that these boys lost their innocence. What holds the future? Going back to reality, stop being a painted savage and growing into their surnames.
I think that fanfiction authors do god's work in this case. My all-time favourite headcanon for Ralph is that his surname is Allback (Although I've read some variations too, which are absolutely cute). I also find it super ironic.
There are some other cases as with Roger, to which people prefer to use the Elwin surname because of the actor from the 1963 movie. It's quite a funny coincidence, and I love it.
But what about the other characters? Sam and Eric? Piggy? Simon? Maurice?
Do you have headcanons about their surnames? What is the thinking process behind them? I'd really want to know!
