"Look!" whispered Sniff in terror. The sky was no longer blue. It was a pale red!
"Perhaps it's the sunset." said Snufkin doubtfully."
But Moomintroll looked very grave and said: "No. This time it's the comet. It's on its way to the earth."
not to be lgbt but Nick is Moomin, Charlie is Snufkin and Tori is Little My LOL
Winding Up the Week #222
An end of week recap “The art of the novelist is not unrelated to the illness of multiple personality disorder. It’s a much milder form. But the better the book, the nearer to the padded cell you are.” – David Mitchell This is a weekly post in which I summarise books read, reviewed and currently on my TBR shelf. In addition to a variety of literary titbits, I look ahead to forthcoming features,…

Fair Play by Tove Jansson - 4/5
This idyllic little novella feels very special because it reminded me of my girlfriend because we live apart by choice, which isn’t something I’ve seen represented in media before. Plus, like Jonna and Mari, we’re both creatives of different types — I couldn’t help but read us into the character dynamic. Fair Play is a very sweet slice-of-life account of two older women who live in separate apartments, visiting each others’ studios back and forth. There isn’t much of a plot, and each chapter functions as a self-contained story, so it truly is slice of life. I can’t say how much I appreciate reading a book about lesbians where yearning is not involved, because it seems like that and angst are the predominant emotions depicted in most LGBT literature these days. Instead, Jonna and Mari are content in their routine, and it was tremendously cozy to be privy to their lives together. It’s cottage core in the best sense of the word; you’ll probably recognize Tove Jansson’s name from the more popular Moomin comics, and though Fair Play doesn’t concern any trolls or witches, the calming tone is the same. I read Fair Play in just a day, which is not a common occurrence for me, but at exactly 100 pages, what excuse do you have not to pick it up?
I redrew a comic panel ive been wanting to redraw for awhile
I love them :]
Edit: click for better quality lol
