I love characters that are Lawful Good in a negative way. When a character is so keen on following the rules that it actually becomes a hindrance and they can’t see how the rules are faulty or the system is corrupt or how breaking a certain rule could benefit everybody. They can’t do it. It’s not in their nature to see the world outside of the black and white mentality. And then i love seeing these characters slowly learn how to see the world in shades of grey.

“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. 💕

Linus Baker disliked himself and had a depressing view of life but Arthur and the children still fell in love with him and I absolutely love that bc it crushes the idea that you have to first love yourself or be healed in some way before other people can love you.

Without a second thought, Linus reached up and cupped Arthur’s face. His skin was hot, but Linus wasn’t afraid of being singed and blackened. Arthur would never allow it. The fire tickled against the backs of his hands. “There, there,” Linus said quietly. “That’s enough of that, I think. You’ve made your point quite well.”  - The House in the Cerulean Sea
I love a good desperate face grab - some excellent face holding in this book!

[Comic ID: Four panels of a conversation between House in the Cerulean Sea characters. In the first panel, Lucy (whose eyes are glowing red) whispers to a distressed looking Chauncey. Chauncey says "Mr. Linus, do you support gay rights?" In the next two panels, a dirt covered and sunburned Linus is holding a shovel. His expression shifts from baffled to fully flustered as he says, "It's just Linus and— Chauncey, I'm gay!" The "I'm gay" text is boldened and emphasized. In the final panel, Talia and Phee look unimpressed and say in unison, "He's dodging the question." End ID]
Lucy is causing problems on purpose during Linus's first few weeks on the island, and Talia and Phee are so ready to back him up.
(also shout-out to @aroalin for brainstorming this with me 💛)
