“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. 💕

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!

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.

The trope “middle aged men falling in love” gotta have crack in it or something

There is something about Under the Whispering Door and The House on the Cerulean Sea that make me keep coming back to them.

I thought about it and I came to this conclusion - they make me feel a sort of soul deep HUNGER. A hunger for the kind of love that is described there - both the romantic & platonic. A love that accepts a person even when they walk in darkness - that sort of love. A love thats says "so you have your dark thoughts/feelings - that's OK.. by all means have them.. as long as you don't push me away. I will be right beside you as you walk your long dark road - that's all I want". I just... it makes a person feel so SEEN.
