Some sketches on some characters of "The House in the cerulean sea"
they are so alike. no wonder they're in love with each other
Hey, he’s got brown eyes, too.

@little-caerula-jedi dropped this pairing in my lap, and I can see it, just like I saw Mayday x Phee when Redneck Doug mentioned it to me.
I mean, think about it. The banter! The sass! The sharing of trauma!
Also Crosshair having insanely good eyesight, I bet homeboy would be killer at finding treasure.
sanctuary (tbb novel) spoilers below
so im at the part where omega is helping out with the baby since sohi is kinda passed out, right after the argument with hunter (just for some context)
i have to be honest, the whole argument kinda pissed me off. hunter is doing his JOB. as a leader, he takes on the responsibility of making the final decision and ensuring his squad's safety and wellbeing. you can argue that hunter may make decisions without consulting the others but honestly? i feel like it is a rare occurrence. hunter takes it upon himself to ask the others what they think. hunter is the face of the decision, but his squad his backing him. he doesn't choose what to do alone.
phee is literally the reason so much went wrong. she even says something along the lines of "aw man, hunter is never gonna let me live this down." so not only does she recognize she made a mistake and was in the wrong, she doesn't apologize for her stubborn thinking or her choices. she constantly blames hunter's behavior on him being a soldier and they're not at war anymore and whatever. UHM??? NEWSFLASH LADY!!! they are CLONES 😭 they were born and bred for WAR. it is LITERALLY the only thing they have ever known. and if they're constantly on the run or engaging in missions, then yeah, they need to keep their soldier instincts intact. if they didn't, none of them would be able to get out of any situations alive.
additionally, phee not taking accountability goes farther. she doesn't apologize and then says that hunter went along with the plan. omfg girl. he tried to stop the plan at every single turn, every single bend, every single corner. he pushed back EVERY TIME. BECAUSE HE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. and just because he "went along with it" doesn't mean he wanted to. but his love for his family outweighs any decision. that is why he continued being the best soldier he could be and try to keep everyone safe despite the clearly wrong decisions being made. because he loves them. this is what phee doesn't understand and chalks up to his ego that he isn't being listened to
i get tech, wrecker, and omega wanting to voice their opinions more. it's a valid take, and i understand if these three are the ones to bring up the concern that hunter is making decisions for them rather than with them. phee doesn't have the right to say shit 💀 i feel like tech pointing out that crosshair leaving was because of hunter was unfair. while it may be true to some extent (ahem, the argument on that snow planet after crosshair defects), it wasn't actually up to hunter. crosshair chose to leave and then chose to stay. the rest of the batch was well within their right to go back after crosshair if they wanted to. but everyone knew that it wasn't safe, especially not after they had omega to take care of.
tldr: everyone hating on hunter is unnecessary. he's not a perfect man, but blaming him for the wrong things that happened and for making decisions when he is the chosen leader of the squad is going too far. especially since he is more of a figurehead than anything else, because in the end, the squad is a family and all of them would do anything for each other. that means anything that they do is implicitly a group decision!!!!
