Zoe, Sal, Arthur, and Linus stand in the back. Zoe wears bright patterned dress and a white turtleneck. Her white afro is pulled back behind a bandana and wreathed in flora. She smiles somewhat skeptically at the viewer and has a hand on Chauncey's hat. Sal wears a bright button up and has short locs. He grins genuinely, but somewhat nervously at the viewer as Theodore (an iridescent wyvern) rests on his arm. Theo is grinning, a fang sticking out of his mouth, eyes shut in happiness. Arthur's grey-blonde hair is windswept and chaotic. He wears a striped polo shirt and smiles lovingly and tiredly at the viewer. Linus is next to him in a thick knit sweater, doing the same. His hair is polished, dark, and receding.

In the front stand Chauncey, Talia, Lucy, and Phee. Chauncey wears a holly wreath as a hat and his tentacle is holding Talia's hand. Talia wears a cuordoroy overall dress and smiles nervously at the viewer. Her white beard and hair are down and flowing. Lucy is wearing a shirt with a blushing skull that says "Live your best life" and he makes an incredibly innocent expression at the viewer. His black hair it's choppy and unkempt. Next to him is Phee in a floral shirt and plaid skirt with leggings. Her red hair is full of flora. Phee stands with her arms crossed and smirks knowingly at the viewer. End ID]

Finished reading House in the Cerulean Sea and just had to draw the sillies 🥹

A real boy and his wooden heart <3

HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA SEQUAL (seaqual? Sorry I’ll sea myself out )

I am very normal about this book and Arthur Parnassus as a character I can be trusted to be normal about this book

"We all have our issues. I have a spare tire around my middle. His father is Satan. Nothing that can't be worked out if we try hard enough."

The House in the Cerulean Sea, by TJ Klune

just finished house in the cerulean sea yesterday and i have a very important question: would linus and arthur’s ship name be anus.

Didn't know it was happening but good lord, this is wonderful news!

but what if I want to raise 6 magical kids on an island with my gay lover. why do they get to and not me, it's not fair 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Damn TJ Klune is really just out here being an icon huh

It's happening it's really really happening. No stop in going to cry if i think about it too hard 🥹🥹🥹 we did it we really did it it's gonna be here

If and when The House in the Cerulean Sea is made into a movie, I think we should cast Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Linus Baker and Arthur Parnassus.

Soft and short like Aziraphale. "Thin dark duke" like Crowley. And that Crowley and Arthur both catch fire and have book/music nerd boyfriends.

I'm just saying, I think they're perfect for them

(Not my art)

@davidbowielovesyou mentioned this idea in the most recent chap of On Your Shore, and it was too cute not to draw :3

I love the House in the Cerulean sea so much. I love it because I see myself in Linus. I see who I’ve been, who I am, who I easily could’ve been if some small decisions hadn’t been made in my life not all that long ago. As someone who struggles with his weight and loving himself it felt really good to have a character like me in that struggle, who comes to love himself as he is and have others around him remind him that they love him exactly as he is and that he doesn’t have to change to be beautiful and to be worthy of being loved.

One of the themes that really stuck with me was that to be loved is to be changed, and boy is Linus changed. I remember reading this one bit, I still need to find the actual context, but Linus told a little white lie to I think Lucy and thought really nothing of it; and I remember thinking, “yeah lying can be a good thing sometimes, this is one of those times” or something vaguely like that, and then a second later realizing- “wait- he lied, Linus Baker told a lie! The Linus Baker who, in the beginning, mentioned how even the idea of telling even just a white lie made him practically sick” and just being in awe of the character development he’d experienced already and how he’d been changed by those around him for the better. Changed to move away from those harsh lessons of morality imparted by the same mother who basically told him he was worthless. He thrives on Marsyas.
