What did you think about Adam apparently trying to talk himself out of being in love with Ronan when he went home to st Agnes every night?? It sounded so prosey but it didn’t feel like it was supported by the text? Like I felt the Opal story and CDTH did nothing to indicate that
omg sorry i only just saw this q !! but yeah idk i’ve been thinking a lot about that recently. i think with certain contexts it does make some sense to me? not that adam would want to stop loving ronan but that he’d feel like he should stop loving him. that ending things sooner rather than later felt like the safer thing to do for both of them, emotionally speaking. having said that, i feel like if we’d been in adam’s head at all through trkopal or dreamer trilogy, it would’ve made this information less surprising (another loss for the adam pov agenda rip). i have a lot of thoughts on this tho and i ended up writing a lot more than i intended to so i’m going to get into it under the cut !
a lonely lil guy who's been told since childhood that he's worthless. goes to the sea, accidentally becomes a father to a handful of lovable misfits, falls in love without realizing it, decides to go back to his old life only to realize how much he changed while he was gone and that said old life was never for him to begin with.
is this about the house in the cerulean sea or ofmd?
I just learned TJ Klune is asexual and I want to write a post about how I can see the influence of that in his writing (as another gay ace, anyway, I can't speak for him) but I feel like I need quotes for Evidence
thinking about linus being all “i am here to do a job. not to befriend the lanky frivolous orphanage master. why is he holding my hand. i don’t like it. my cheeks are flushing this is terrible. wait why did he stop. do it again.”
this joke never gets old
buzzfeed unsolved, the house in the cerulean sea, our flag means death
I am obsessed with the way that 'home' has such a heavy emphasis in TJ Klune's books. It's finding a home or creating a home and having that home be your found family.
The House in the Cerulean Sea had that titular house in the sea but it became Linus's home with his magical family.
Under the Whispering Door had its tea shop where Wallace found a place to be.
In the Lives of Puppets has literal tree houses and an odd little family of robots and their human.
Green Creek found home in a pack and I could go on.
Each book is just so full of home and family and I love it.
“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.”

Recently I’ve read the house in the cerulean sea and I loved it SO much!!! I couldn’t stop thinking about them so I HAD to make a least a sketch of these lovely characters who have my entire heart
ok listen. i am the first in line to criticize donny cates' venom run, but these panels. the way he describes eddie's grief and agony and the loss he felt. oh my god. probably one of the only good things to come out of his run tbh
