the boy, snufkin, of course.
I have no idea how to use tumblr
after listening to the song “you, me and steve”, i felt an ungodly amount of motivation to make a stupid moomin-related video with that song. so, i spent a whole week doing just that. here ya go, fellas
snufkin isn’t even that chill he’s just repressed

someone: …snufkin? snufkin???

snufkin, externally: <|:)

the EFFORT it’s obviously costing him just to admit that he misses moomin… the repression jumped OUT

That one moment in New Moomin where Snufkin leaves for the winter and Moomin runs out to catch him and give him an amulet, hoping to wish him safe travels… And when he gives it to Snufkin, he states that “This amulet will assure that the person who made it and the person it was gifted to will meet once again.” AND THEN SNUFKIN SHEDS A TEAR…
And he tucks the amulet under his scarf… and reaches out his hand to Moomin… and Moomin starts CRYING and takes it in his…
Then they hold hands until an inch of snow has settled on their arms… and Snufkin eventually breaks away, saying, “Goodnight, Moomin. I believe this amulet was made from your heart, wasn’t it?” I LIVE… FOR THIS SHIT…
my favorite thing about the moomins is that their domestic cottagecore aesthetic is basically just a cover for the fact that they’re actually like 2 degrees of separation from going full feral at any one time and literally everyone knows it

[image text: “Snufkin stopped in his tracks, feeling just a little bit uneasy. Yes, Moomintroll, always waiting and longing. Moomintroll who sat at home, who waited for him and admired him, and who always told him: Of course you have to feel free. Naturally you must go away. I do understand that you have to be alone at times.
And all the times his eyes were black with disappointment and no one could help it.
Oh my, oh my, Snufkin said to himself and continued on his way.
Oh my, oh my. He’s got such a lot of feelings, this Moomintroll. I won’t think of him now. He’s a splendid Moomin, but I don’t have time to think of him now. Tonight I’m alone with my tune, and tonight isn’t tomorrow.” /end id.]

I’m barely exaggerating
it’s gotten to the point where people are just posting screenshots of the official moomin books and they get comments like “I thought this was someone’s snufkin/moomin fanfic” yeah it’s tove jansson’s
teety-woo: everybody loves you snufkin we all think you’re so wonderful (:
snufkin: well stop…..it’s weird
teety-woo: huh?
snufkin: don’t refer to me. don’t think about me I’m not even real I’m a trick of the light
teety-woo: uh..?
snufkin: bye
I just saw this post about “moomin fandom etiquette” and one of the bullet points was “no sex jokes about the adult characters ever this is a CHILDREN’S SERIES and it doesn’t matter if they’re adults you FREAK” I don’t have the heart to tell them the word “mymble” is slang for “woman who fucks a lot”
someone, well-meaning: don’t make sex jokes about the adult moomin characters I’ll fuckin kill you
me, swinging at a wasp’s nest: she fucks. the mymble fucks. nothing you say, do, or believe says otherwise. the beast fucks. she ravishes her lovers deeply and frequently. the woman goes at it. sometimes with a glass of wine. the mymble f
mymble @ mymble’s daughter, little my and snufkin:
the funniest thing about snufkin trending on this site is that he would fucking hate it
moomins modern au moomintroll gets snufkin a “fuck cops” patch for his jacket and snufkin paints over the fuck part because it’s rude to swear but now it just says “cops”
He writes ‘kill’ over it a day later

“moomin modern au” is the funniest thing ive ever heard all i can think is little my has a famous tik tok and her most popular video is called “epic cringe comp: twink edition” and its just like a bunch of second long clips of snufkin getting arrested in various places set to the wii sports resort theme
tbh the only moomin discourse that really tears the moomin fandom apart is “does snufkin bathe and does he smell bad” discourse
a nation divided
discord in moominvalley
fellas? is it gay to call your homie honey by accident?
the concept of a “modern” moomins au is killing me bc can you imagine moomin bringing snufkin home like mom, dad, this is my boyfriend snufkin. i found him in the park tasing a cop at an environmental protest he organized himself. he lives in a tent in the woods and washes in bird baths in peoples gardens. also he vapes.

moomin, who has been rambling about snufkin for upwards of 40 mins: he has a youtube channel dedicated to covering popular songs using his harmonica. one of the videos has nearly 5,000 views he’s so talented i-
