Snufkin🌻

Thinking about how happy reading The Moomins in 10th grade made me. It made me want to actively read again after years of required reading burnt me out.

Thank you Tove Jansson

I got another craft I'm gonna do~ 💖 I won't use all of the kit since I'm going to make my own flocking and trees since these ones are a bit tiny... Should I make Snufkin's campsite? It's the only thing I'm still debating on.

need to read more moomins

Reading Moomins

I’m currently in the process of re-reading the Moomin books (again).

For all you Moomin fans out there, if you can, I highly recommend reading the Moomin books at some point if you haven’t already done so. They’re still amazing to this day, and they give you a lot more context to what many of us discuss/compare to the show(s).

You will likely be able to borrow them at the library if you can’t buy them, and I promise you it’s well worth it. 💙 The Moomin books are not terrible long either (52 - 200 pages, depending on which book and translation), and also have some pictures in them, so even inexperienced readers will likely be alright while reading them.

I promise it’s worth it. 💙 .

Moominvalley- Icefall but with the 90s version- re-rendered for the sake of quality... XD Plus added toe beans...

1969 Snufkin and Mumin/Moomin doodle Digital Colored Version!

I uploaded my very first fanfiction on ao3, a fanfiction for the Moomins! 😄 .

Title: Budding Friendship

Characters: Moominpappa and Joxter.

Genre: Friendship / Humor / Idiocy.

Summary: ”Oh, how the mighty have fallen,” Joxter teased Moomin, and if looks could kill Moomin was sure his new friend would already have been dead and buried six feet under.

Or: Moomin (the future Moominpappa) falls down a slope and twists his ankle, and Joxter's solution to the problem is essentially to lay down and just stay awake. x)

Fanart Sailor Moon and Moomins.

Red Duo

You know... If Moominvalley changed the timeline just a TINY bit and also made the Joxter into Little My’s dad rather than only Snufkin’s...? I honestly wouldn’t mind.

Imagine the fun chaos they would get into together. ÒwÓ

.

(Though I wouldn’t mind some fun step-dad content with the Joxter and Little My either. Just let them get into shenanigans together, ye’ cowards!)

Moominpappa and his Friends

So, I was just hit with the theory/realization that Moominpappa might have thought his friends were dead.

It was something which hit me while I re-read my English version of ‘The Exploits of Moominpappa’ (can’t find my Swedish one for some reason), because in the end of the book Moominpappa seemed genuinely surprised when his old friends showed up. He hadn’t called/sent for them.

.

“Glad to meet you,” said Moominmamma. “Would you like a glass of rum punch?” “Thanks,” Hodgkins said. “One for me. And a few for the others outside.” “Have you brought somebody?” asked Moominpappa.

- Page 128, The Exploits of Moominpappa, translated by Thomas Warburton.

.

Now, put together with how Moominpappa tried to avoid many of Snufkin’s and Sniff’s questions about their fathers in the book - at times even in borderline cruel ways... I wonder if Moominpappa thought his friends were dead and just didn’t want to tell Snufkin and Sniff? Especially considering that part near the end just before Joxter, Muddler and the rest arrived.

.

Sniff cried: “But then - what happened then?”

“Oh - then,” Moominpappa replied and made a vague sweeping gesture that comprised the house, the family, the garden, the Moomin Valley, and generally everything that follows after one’s youth.

“Dear children,” said Moominmamma shyly. “Then everything started.”

A sudden gust of wind rattled the windows.

“To be out on the sea on a night like this...” said Moominpappa abstractedly.

“What about MY daddy?” Snufkin asked. “The Joxter? What became of him? And of mother?”

“Yes, and the Muddler?” asked Sniff. “Did you lose the only daddy I ever had? Not to speak of his button collection and the Fuzzy?”

Moominpappa hesitated.

- Page 127-128, The Exploits of Moominpappa, translated by Thomas Warburton.

.

There have been a lot of theories over the years about why Moominpappa didn’t tell Snufkin and Sniff about their parents much earlier, but the only one which avoids Moominpappa being a complete (-)sshole is probably that he thought his friends (at least the Joxter, Muddler and Fuzzy) were already dead.

Moominpappa mentions in the book that the Joxter never saw Snufkin, and we see several times in the book how caring both the Joxter and Muddler are to other people. Meanwhile Snufkin is mentioned to have grown up in an orphanage in some works.

Moominpappa’s first thought about his friends would hardly be “they abandoned their kids” once he figured out who Snufkin’s and Sniff’s parents were. However, if Moominpappa instead thought they were dead it would explain why he didn’t want to bring them up to Snufkin and Sniff - because who wants to be the messenger of That? Not to mention his own grief if he thinks at least 2-3 of his friends are dead.

Now, I should mention that I don’t have easy access to the comics at the moment, so there may or may not be ones that contradict the theory or even proves it further, but... Honestly?

Even with this theory Moominpappa should have told Snufkin and Sniff about their parents earlier, but at least it would make sense why Moominpappa didn’t want to answer more of Snufkin’s and Sniff’s questions. A theory, sure, but... It kind of makes sense.

Moominpappa might have thought his friends were dead.

Zoomies

People keep comparing Joxter to a cat, so I think more people should consider the fact that cats always seem to get night-zoomies. Running all over, sometimes crashing things. xD
