“You silly, delightful man. There is nothing to be sorry for. You fought for us.” - Arthur, THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA by TJ Klune
Here is my contribution to Our Favorite Scene Zine latest edition, which compiled over 20 artists’ interpretations of the reunion scene from THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA. This book was my first inroad to TJ’s staggering body of work, and remains one of my comfort books at times when my faith in humanity is challenged, or when parenting two smarty-pants gets particularly hard. 😅 From the outset, I wanted to focus on the kids’ reactions to Arthur and Linus’s reunion, because love is something that children inherit from their grownups, and that joy multiplies as they grow up in safe and accepting spaces. I hope you like how it came out. 💕

[ID: A digital illustration of Lucy, Theodore, and Phee in flight. Lucy has bat wings and grins excitedly at his siblings, eyes glowing slightly red. Phee is patting Theo's head, and both of them are smiling up at Lucy. End ID]
@davidbowielovesyou mentioned this idea in the most recent chap of On Your Shore, and it was too cute not to draw :3
#as someone spooked by drawing both children and wings— i sure picked a helluva fandom to fixate on#THitCS#the house in the cerulean sea#house in the cerulean sea#theodore thitcs#phee thitcs#lucy thitcs#book illustration#little museum

oh my gosh can you imagine Theodore's excitement when he sees that his dad has wings just like him. just absolutely falling over himself with joy when he sees those flaming wings appear and he's chirping so loudly. I need to lay down

Yes, I wrote down all the songs mentioned in the book because I have no self control and I needed to dive into the book’s vibes completely. Still do. And I have found I love 50’s music! It’s not just the mentioned ones actually, as some by Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and some others are only mentioned without their songs being played, still I added them because they’re Lucy’s favourites. Read the book again and play the songs when mentioned: it’s a totally different experience. Hope you enjoy! 🌊💙🎶

following is a list of the lines I underlined in The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (spoilers ahead):
“He’d accepted long ago that some people, no matter how good their heart was or how much love they had to give, would always be alone.” —pg. 31
“‘Arthur says that we should always make time for the things we like,’ Talia said. ‘If we don’t, we might forget how to be happy.’” —pg. 108
“‘And the spiders?’ ‘Still there.’ ‘But?’ ‘But I can have spiders in my head as long as I don’t let them consume me and them destroy the world as we know it.’” —pg. 157
“‘You’re very dear, Linus Baker.’” —pg. 190
“‘You’re too precious to put into words. I think…it’s like one of Theodore’s buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.’” —pg. 306
“‘Did you like your treasure, Mr. Baker?’ Linus looked up at Arthur again. ‘I did,’ he whispered. ‘I liked it more than anything.’” —pg. 332
“It was grief, then, that Linus felt in his little house on Hermes Way. Grief bright and glassy, unlike anything he’d ever experienced before. He was but paper, brittle and thin, and he clutched the photograph to his chest, hugging it close.” —pg. 347
“‘I’ve seen the heart of all of them, and it beats tremendously despite everything they’ve gone through, either by your hand, or others.’” —pg. 361
“His thoughts were all cerulean.” —pg. 365
“Sometimes, he thought to himself in a house in a cerulean sea, you were able to choose the life you wanted. And if you were of the lucky sort, sometimes that life chose you back.” —pg. 396
#in case you can’t tell I’m a sentimental bastard#this book broke me open a little bit#this is partially for my own reference so it’s easy to find these lines again#I don’t have sticky notes lmao#the house in the cerulean sea#thitcs#arthur parnassus#arthur#linus#linus baker#lucy#lucy thitcs#talia#talia thitcs#theodore#theodore thitcs

Chapter Title: familiar faces
Summary: The group arrives in the city. While stuck in a traffic jam, they meet one of Linus's old co-workers.
CW: implications of fatphobia. There's nothing said outright and it's just one moment near the end of the fic, but it felt worth mentioning just in case.

Theodore (the wyvern from T.J. Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea) demands coins for his hoard. But in the event coins are not available, he will very happily accept a shiny brass button. 😂 Drawing this adorable iridescent little dude has been the highlight of my week.
Y’all, I’m in love with this novel. If you haven’t read it yet, please move it to the top of your list. It’s compassionate and healing and kind and romantic (and queer), and by God, more art from this book is coming. ❤️

okay now that I’ve finished the book he is much less of a damp sock and I sincerely hope he forever enjoys being gay married with several magical children in a house by the cerulean sea
I’m 30 pages in and Linus is the most pathetic wet rag of a man I’ve ever met. I adore him
#the house in the cerulean sea#thitcs#they are all very precious and I think very highly of these magic children#i hope Chauncey becomes the bellhop of his dreams#and of course sal and theodore are absolutely precious#Lucy is Lucy and I love him#wish I could see talia’s garden because I know it’s exquisite#and phee’s absolutely precious#then Zoe and Arthur. love them so much#basically all of them#this book is the found family

Do you ever think about what the THITCS kids grow up to be? Here's what I picture;
Sal becomes an author who writes under a pseudonym and takes over the orphanage when Linus and Arthur get older
Chauncey starts as a bellhop (obvi) but makes his way up to be a hotel manager and is adored in the village
Thalia will be a kid for another 300 years (adopted by Phee after Linus and Arthur die) but eventually I think she'll open a public garden to share her love of gardening with others
Phee and Theodore stay on the island with Zoe
And Lucy ❤️ I image he's in the arts. I think he goes on to Broadway, at first just playing villains but eventually he plays heros and lead characters. And people are in awe of his voice and dancing and emotion on stage
I just imagine them all having really nice lives because Arthur and Linus taught them how to be strong enough to follow their dreams despite adversity

this is who i think the THITCS characters play as in mario cart.
linus: mario - he is mario because he just is and that he doesn’t really care who he plays as
zoe: rosalina - she’d probably be like “oh she looks fun :)” and she’s also probably like really good at the game for no reason
lucy: king boo - need i say more?
talia: toadette - i have no evidence for this one she just gives off this energy
phee: daisy - okay phee plays to WIN. her and zoe just dominate i swear
chauncey: yoshi - i will take no criticism thank you and good night
sal - shy guy and not because of shy guy’s lore but more because he looks kinda funny and this is sal’s only reason for playing as him
theodore: baby luigi - i have once again nothing to back this up
arthur: his Mii character - and i say this because i guarantee he was like “none of them look like me and i want to play as myself” and arthur does not understand the game whatsoever
thank you and goodnight
#the house in the cerulean sea#zoe chapelwhite#linus baker#arthur parnassus#i just have a hunch for all of these
