Slash Ships to Get to Know Me

Thank you to the delightful @davidbowielovesyou​ for tagging me in this!!

Rules: Name at least five (but no upper limit) slash (M/M) ships you love. Each from a different fandom.

Damn, right now I’m thinking I can’t quite possibly get to five ships, but let’s see how we do!

1. Puzzleshipping (Yugi Mutou/Atem (Yami Yugi) from Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Look. I know it doesn’t look like it makes any sense, but I promise you it does. And even if that’s my biased brain talking, that’s fine. These two were my first ship, more than fifteen years ago, at this point, and I legitimately and literally owe them my life. They will always hold a very special and very dear place in my heart.

2. The Ineffable Husbands (Aziraphale/Crowley from Good Omens)

I read the book like half a year before the show aired and thought there was a lot of potential there, but told myself not to get my hopes up. Then the show came out and fucking blew me out of the water, and now I have these two dumbass idiots tattooed on my arm. The pining! The yearning!!! YOU GO TOO FAST FOR ME, CROWLEY!!! Excuse me while I go cry. Also, “ineffable husbands” is just a cute af title, don’t @ me.

3. Linus Baker/Arthur Parnassus (from The House in the Cerulean Sea)

I read this book last year and it took over my life. Linus just called to me as a character, and I related so hard to him from the very first chapters, and it was just an absolute delight to follow him on his journey to finding the love and family he wants. The way these two love each other just does things to me, man, I’m only human!

4. Achilles/Patroclus (specifically from Hades)

Listen. LISTEN. I was obsessed with Greek mythology as a teen, so when Hades came out, I bought it only after I found out that there was a side-quest for reuniting Achilles and Patroclus in the afterlife. Their devotion to each other has pushed me to tears on occasion. Besides, I’m of the mind that old gay men deserve to be happy and to make out as much as they want to.

EDIT: I COMPLETELY MISSED THE PART WHERE IT SAID M/M SHIPS, WHY AM I SO BLIND DKBFKJBFADSKLFBKD

5. Alex Claremont-Diaz/Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor (from Red, White & Royal Blue)

I have become OBSESSED with this book and with this couple specifically. They fall into bed before they fall in love, but when they fall in love? It is WILD, and INTENSE, and it honestly made me so fucking happy because I’ve rarely read the kind of love story they have, and the fact that it’s a queer love story just watered my crops and (temporarily) cured my depression. I have spent my free time reading fanfics for these two for like the past three weeks. A month? Time is unreal, but you get the idea.

Tagging (but please only if you want to) @sodiumazideandothertoxins, @cassieoh​, @hkblack​, @kamikazeworld, @thegreyscalerainbow​​, and anyone else who wants to do this!!

Concept Character Art- "Linus Baker & Arthur Parnassus" Been wanting to draw the characters from one of my favorite books, "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune for some time now! Starting with Linus and Arthur!

[alextimestar]

And again the moment from 16 chapter of “the house in the cerulean sea”

I so much love Arthur Parnassus 🥺❤️

[vkelleyart]

“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. 💕

Arthur and Linus go swing dancing for pride!!

Arthur would absolutely have a small collection of rainbow socks, and I couldn’t get the image of trans wing tipped shoes out of my head. I think Linus could be persuaded into a pair of rainbow suspenders. He probably wouldn’t get any more colorful than that but it’s fun to think about how he’d experiment with personal style. they are so in love.

happy pride (even though it’s almost over) !!!!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY-

[charlie-old-one]

"I'm sorry," Linus whispered into Arthur's throat, never wanting this moment to end

Arthur held him tighter. "You silly, delightful man. There is nothing to be sorry for. You fought for us. I could never be angry with you for that.

How I cherish you."

Linus felt his heart settle in his chest.

I love them so much, their dynamics and chemistry are everything ⭐️

[practicefortheheart]

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!

[tenthrees]

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.

[house-in-the-cerulean-sea]

WE'RE FUCKING BACK BABY!

[ineffable-ezra]

There should be a movie of the house in the cerulean sea. I feel very strongly that David Tennant and Michael Sheen should play Arthur and Linus respectively. And Pearl Mackie should play Zoe. Yes, I know that the book is American, so casting British people doesn't make sense but I do what I want.

[inessencedevided]

Finished the House in the Cerulean Sea, big ball of light in my chest, warm gay blanket round my shoulders, loving this cozy queer romance and how it finished on a kiss by the home they found in each other and their family of outcasts and then the narrator turns around, looks into my eyes and soul and asks:

Don't you wish you were here?

YES YES I DOOOO FUCK YOU TJ KLUNE 😭

[arachpool]

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