the most unrealistic part of tj klune's writing isn't the magic, or the werewolves, or the talking dragons, or the gay unicorns named gary, it's the Good Fathers.

[torpublishinggroup]

The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune is a queer sci-fi novel about found family, government conspiracies, comets, and bacon.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything. He returns to his family’s cabin to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex, who is more attractive (and dangerous) than he has any right to be. And with him is a mysterious ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past or fight for a future he never thought possible.

Everyone go read the house in the cerulean sea and then the sequel somewhere beyond the sea it needs a bigger fandom. Perfect if you like good omens, our flag means death, queer romance, and the found family trope (and if you hate jk rowling).

I just finished Somewhere Beyond The Sea by TJ Klune, the sequel to The House In The Cerulean Sea. I was supposed to be studying for uni, but I just couldn't put it down. And the acknowledgements... that's the bit that made me cry. Thank you so much, TJ Klune. An incredible book, highly relevant and simultaneously beautiful and timeless.

I've just finished to read "The house in the cerulean sea" and " Somewhere beyond the sea" by TJ Klune, and...

HOW THE FUCK I'M SUPPOSED TO READ SOMETHING ELSE NOW!

Like... The character, the story, every single line warmed my heart in a way I didn't know it was possible.

Now leave me alone, I need to reread them again.

He wanted to call his dad "pappy" but he was outvoted by his siblings

“It’s a lot for anyone to realize that we go on, even when our hearts stop beating. That the pain of life still can follow us even through death. I don’t blame you for what happened. I don’t think anyone could. And you shouldn’t blame yourself. Learn from it. Grow from it, but don’t allow it to consume you again. Easier said than done, I know.”

“Remember what I told you about need versus want? We don’t need you because that implies you had to fix something in us. We were never broken. We want you, Wallace. Every piece. Every part. Because we’re family. Can you see the difference?”

“I love you. All of you. You’ve made my death worth it. Thank you for helping me live.”

[everlastingfable]

a wip commission by @spoon-cca who wasn't feeling well enough to complete it (I hope you feel better soon!)

it is of kelly and robbie based on the lyrics "the leaves like broken shards of stained glass windows" from the song secret worlds by the amazing devil. the finished piece would've had them cast in green light (green green green) from the tree leaves akin to the way stained glass reflects onto surfaces

If you've never listened to tad before I highly recommend it! their music is magical really and imo not yet/love run (reprise) fits all the green creek romances so well, as you can probably already guess based on the title

thanks again spoon for taking on the commission ❤️

"Interstellar Guide to the Planet Earth" by TJ Klune

By the end of this guide, you will have been given the tools in order to safely and carefully visit Earth. If you should have further questions, please see Glorbak the Destroyer of Worlds, who will be happy to answer any inquiries you may have.

Remember: Exploration is the key to survival!

1.   You meant to travel to the HUMAN LAND OF DEARBORNE MICHIGAN, but because of the bending of space and time, you accidentally ended up in the dark place known as TALLAHASEE FLORIDA. Do not fret! Though Florida is considered an area where dreams go to die (also see THE HUMAN LAND OF TEXAS), there are many wonderful things to discover, such as bugs, humidity, reptiles and HUMANS called JESSICA who chew loudly while running a business called a NAIL SALON. This is used to sharpen the talons of humans, and to paint them different colors. Though not much is known about this tradition, it is thought that it grants powers to the HUMANS who visit this establishment.

2.   Oh no! While exploring the HUMAN LAND OF NORTH YORKSHIRE ENGLAND, you happen to see a GREY disguised as a chimney sweep. As you are well aware, GREYS are an odious species whose entire way of life is built around anal probing. Though we have a treaty with the GREYS, it is important to remember that anal probing does not provide any scientific and/or medical knowledge. Given that the GREYS have the technology to do non-invasive full body scans, it’s unknown why they continue to proceed through the back entrance. If you come across a GREY preparing to do just that, please remind them that it is against RULE 5#$7^45J to proceed with anal probing without the expressed permission of the one being probed. Consent is important no matter what part of the universe you are in!

3.   HUMAN HOLES. Though it may seem disgusting to an elevated species, HUMANS evolved to have multiple holes in their bodies. Do not be scared! These are imperative to their survival. We have already discussed one hole (the anus), but did you know that humans have several more? The most diabolical is the hole in the top parts of their bodies, otherwise known as a MOUTH. Inside the MOUTH is a wet piece of muscle surrounded by shards of bone that pierce through the flesh. This is, as far as we can tell, a “feeding hole”, the bones used to break up sustenance, and the muscle inside swirls it around. In addition, there are glands in the MOUTH HOLE that create lubrication. It is unknown if this lubricant is poisonous. If you should see a HUMAN leaking lubricant from its MOUTH HOLE, it is either a) hungry or b) getting ready to attack. One line of thought is that the lubrication allows HUMANS to breathe fire, though no evidence of this has been noted.

4.   Most HUMANS have communication devices they carry around with them at all times. Interestingly, these devices seem to have an unintended consequence: not one of them could survive without it. If, on the off chance, you find yourself surrounded by a mob of HUMANS CARRYING TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS, tell them you are going to take their communication devices away. Most likely, they will crumble and dissolve into LEAKING LUBRICANT FROM THEIR EYE HOLES, begging you not to do what you said. Some have suggested that the HUMAN’S life forces are tethered to these devices, and if they are taken away, there is a chance the HUMANS will turn feral.

5.   And finally, the most important: DO NOT ASK HUMANS WHO THEY VOTED FOR. On Earth, people “choose” their leaders on a special day filled with love and celebration and good feelings. However, the HUMANS elected are oft considered “really bad at their job” and “unable to speak in coherent sentences.” In a fascinating turn of events, the HUMANS appear to be rare creatures who are somewhat advanced, but also continually make terrible decisions just because they’re mad about certain things that have no basis in reality. If you do make the mistake of asking a HUMAN who they voted for, chances are you will be stuck in a conversation that will last as long as the life of a star. The only way to get out of said conversation is to announce you voted for the other leader running in the election. This will most likely incense the speaker to say things like, “DAMN YOU, YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT YOURSELF” before leaving. Congratulations, you survived an encounter!
