[arthurparnassuslovesyou]

@islanddads vision come to life: Linus Baker dressed as Benoit Blanc! He was made for this

[img id:] Digital drawing of Linus Baker looking hot and sexy as hell in a tight blue and white vertical striped onesie with a yellow scarf around his neck, sunglasses, and peshawari chappal style sandals. He stands on a sandy beach looking out over the light cerulean sea, shading his eyes from the sun. He is frowning and looks very serious. He also has painted blue toenails. The drawing is named Linus Beach Patrol. [end id]

The House in the Cerulean Sea Fanfic Recs:

Stay (T) by @davidbowielovesyou: A rewrite of THitCS from Arthur's perspective. This is my favorite THITCS fic so far and is beautifully and thoughtfully written. The narration style is WILDLY close to Klune's and the depth that it lends Arthur's perspective is heart-rending and delightful in turn. I genuinely cannot recommend this one enough, especially if you're looking to relive the book.

love like yours will surely come my way (T) by @islanddads: A fluff/angsty You've Got Mail fusion AU in which Arthur and Linus are email pals, unknowingly work in the same office, and hijinks ensue. This was one of my first THitCS fics, and it remains one of my favorites. It's got a pining Arthur and oblivious Linus combo that I find really charming. Very funny. Extremely cute.

You Will Be My Music (T) by @theitalianerd: Linus is shaken after Charles Werner visits the island. To me, this is one of the most complex instances of insecure Linus, and I find the narration both captivating and evocative. Beautifully composed.

Golden Sands (E): Post-book, pre-epilogue fic about Arthur and Linus's developing relationship. A lot of it has to do with growing intimacy and how they learn to build a life together. One of the most kudos-ed works in the fandom for a reason.

Facts and Figures (T): During date night with Arthur, Linus reassesses his experiences of fatphobia and how they affect his self-perception. Fluffy and incredibly sincere.(this fic is mine but I'm going to rec it bc I'm very proud of it)

(note: I've only listed finished fics here, there are many fabulous unfinished fics in the fandom, too)

17 headcannons for march 17. that are so widely spread in this fandom that I'm not even completely sure what is cannon anymore

1. Neither Linus nor Arthur are coffee drinkers, usually Arthur prefers cocoa and Linus tea but you won't catch these two drinking coffee, even tho it might seem like they'd need it!

2. Arthur Parnassus, a Swifty or lover of 80s tunes? Actually both can be true.

3. Zoe's hair flowers bloom affected by her emotions. When with Helen, they are usually pink. Literally, no idea whether or not that's canon.

4. Helen's a redhead.

5. Linus becomes a true fashionista on the island. It's starts with the egg adventure outfit and once he gets comfortable in his skin, he and Zoe go on elaborate shopping trips and his wardrobe becomes even more colourful than mine.

6. Arthur had an extravagant sock collection with the most colourful and patterned socks possible. Of course this is supported by textual evidence, but if we are honest to ourselves, there's only three pairs of socks mentioned red, purple and the one with the clouds. It's completely possible that he just has colourful but one-coloured socks and just this one pair with a pattern. No, i know that's unrealistic.

7. Mr. Graves. Y'all are gonna tell me that that's Not the canon name of the orphanage Arthur went to? Like i thought this was a fact and I haven't even finished @davidbowielovesyou s amazing fanwork "stay" which you can find on ao3 and should be smarter about then me and read it

8. This might be a personal one but Helen is a skater. It's her and her rollerblades against the sand on the concrete.

9. Everyone is autistic. I was gonna say: "only Linus is confirmed autistic" but that's not actually true is it? Tho i think we can use our critical reading skills here and come to the obvious conclusion that he is. But so are phee and Chauncey and Lucy and...

10. Except for Arthur who has ADHD.

11. The term island dads. I'm not actually sure if the TJ knows that name, it certainly originated on Tumblr. But if he knows it👀 Hiii! Love yr work, obviously. Just think about it, the name could have been Anus and i do not like that

12. Linus and Arthur are constantly dancing. Especially in the kitchen!

13. Young Arthur was a punk and an activist and he probably wore multicoloured doc martens

14. Also Linus is obsessed with Princess Diana. I know I personally made that up but i still forgot whether or not it was true

15. There's an underground rebellion going on, that we don't know anything about but these definitely actions and protests for magical rights going on under the radar

16. Doreen aka Ms. bubblegum is either part of said rebellion or secretly also an unregistered magical being. I think she's very neat and it would fit her character to do something this pretty right one dicomys nose.

17. While Arthur of course is cold resistent due to his phoenix abilities, Linus is not which means that when they put David to bed at night Linus insists to wear winter clothes every time so he can say good night, no matter how often Arthur and David tell him that's really not necessary @islanddads is the mind behind this one

I did not remember Linus calling merle "Bastard" and it completely caught me off gard.

Also i love how zoes reaction to that basically is

"the boy can curse? Welp time for first name basis then. Let's be friends."

Similarly to how she heard Helen say "daft little bitch" and immediately created a dream wedding pinwall on pinterest

The last time Linus Baker wears a Tie is a few weeks before his wedding while trying on wedding outfits, after wearing it for less than a minute he decides that no this isn't it, Arthur would still love him whatever he's wearing and nothing makes him more uncomfortable than ties these days and so he instead wears the red sash that Arthur wore on their first adventure

One of my favorite things in fics is when Arthur and Linus talk about their experience, like the ones where Linus tells him he's insecure because he doesn't have any because first of all yeahy healthy communication! And also i love the ones where Arthur is like "im a gay philosophy major and father of six, in a racist/homophobic town, you really think i got game?"

I love everything so much! The authors, the author, the island dads, the island wives(even tho they don't have anything to do with this particular thing, they're just important anyway)

Hi yes i just realized Linus love language is gift giving? Like he probably spends most of his money on calliope (s. The discribtion of how he got her)) and then when he buys toole for Talia and wants to get a jacket for Chauncey and vinyls for Lucy and that makes him getting a present from them even more meaningful, right? Like they just instantly hit his love language? He hadn't gotten a present in years? Maybe that's even why he was so brainwashed by diacomy, bc they gave him monogrammed pjs and noone else got him a present since his mum died oh my poor baby boy! I'm actually crying do you think calliope sometimes killed things for him? Do you think that of course Linus was a little disgusted by it but also couldn't help but feel grateful? Bc his cat is the only one to get him presents?

Meine #1 des Jahres 2022

Linus : hey guys look what i found: Jenga! Do you wanna play?

Talia: put that away! Are you mad?

Chauncey: we don't play that here anymore.

Phee: never again. Never again.

Linus : what why? What's going on?

Lucy: because of him

Arthur, pulling a plate from a staple of plates the other ones dropping onto it neatly and without breaking or disrupting: :)

Linus : isn't... Isn't that physically impossible?

Lucy : it is and he doesn't care.

"He wore tan shorts and a matching tan collared shirt. The buttons toward the top of the shirt had been removed— almost as if they'd been torn off. So it was open at his throat, revealing smooth, pale skin. In fact, he was showing more skin than he could remember." — Chapter 10, The House in the Cerulean Sea

Keep rotating this very offhand moment because the implication that Zoe removed the top buttons of Linus's adventure outfit is endlessly amusing to me

I can just imagine Zoe looking at Linus and planning this outfit thinking:

a) If there is any opportunity for this man to wear a tie, he will take it. He CANNOT be ruining the vibes of adventure day with a tie. The buttons must go.

b) This is a man who would rather wear full trousers and a tightly buttoned shirt and risk heat stroke than show any amount of skin. The buttons must go. AND

c) From the way they've been looking at each other, if Arthur sees Linus in a flirty summer fun outfit (throat exposed and knees visible) he will LOSE HIS MIND/POS. So of course, it's her duty as his best friend to make that happen. THE BUTTONS MUST GO.

[house-in-the-cerulean-sea]

Arthur and Zoe: we're Partners in crime

Linus: awww so you're best friends?

Arthur: yes and we also do a lot of crime together

Zoe: fuck the police
