Curate, connect, and discover
Something I find funny is that there's a large gap in Arthurs life that we know nothing about. Assuming he left the DICOMY school at 18, there's 20 or so years that he could have been doing literally anything.
We know what the other adults did
Linus- worked at DICOMY pretty much forever
Zoe - was on the island being her sapphic self and generally being the Greatest
Helen - everything
Charles Werner - actually we don't know this one but based off what we do know it probably involved him being a selfish prick
So I'm taking it upon myself to compile a list of possible things Arthur could have been doing with his life, (getting increasingly unlikely as the list goes on.)
So far I have
studying philosophy Real Hard because as we know he's a Huge Nerd
babysitting or teaching because yknow he'd be good at it
studying ornithology because I'd personally find that kinda cute and funny
maybe he studied marine life bc that one scene where he said chauncey was a jellyfish and I know he probably did all that research specifically for chauncey but my special interest is the ocean so I deserve this
he could have played Jenga for profit bc in that same scene he startled me and Linus with that trick with the books
maybe he studied the blade because he's gay and has a sword
Feel free to add
what if Arthur is able to sneak up on Linus and be silent on his feet because he was abused as a child and needed to learn to move silently?
because I haven't seen anyone mention that but I just reread thitcs for the 5th time and I just noticed that was a thing he did
but what if I want to raise 6 magical kids on an island with my gay lover. why do they get to and not me, it's not fair ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
If I had a nickel for every time I've read/watched something where: a light haired man with a passion for music and learning and an idea of black and white morals; who also had a dark haired boyfriend known to have 2 different forms, I would have 3 nickels which isn't a lot but im shocked it happened three times
