Snorkmaiden - Blog Posts
I was watching the Fuzzy Felt Moomins and really liked Snorkmaiden's earring
Full thing and a detail shot of the Moomins print I had at Otakuthon 2014. This print was 100% self indulgent, I didn’t even intend to sell any (which, to my surprise, some were very excited about)! I’m slowly getting around to posting the new things I did for the convention.
EDIT: because tumblr is a big pile of poo and resizes the first image, here’s a reasonably sized version!
Little my, Snorkmaiden and her brother! ✨💗

So I’ve finished Moominvalley season 2 (2019) and my god I loved it but it hurt me so much in return holy wow. Anyway if you’d like some of my thoughts about it feel free to keep reading ^-^
(fair warning it’s a lot longer than I thought it’d be)
Episode 2 the fire spirit got me so bad in my feelings and even funnier yet I could tell it would by not only the title and thumbnail but the second I heard the song by cavetown I literally was like ‘hm it sounds like something by cavetown…This should be fine’
oh how wrong I was because of how it ended with the little fire spirit sacrificing itself to save Moominvalley and how upset Snufkin was, he seemed to be pretty attached to the lil goober when the gang dropped it off.
So having his care and attempts to protect it, be basically for nothing would’ve been soul crushing for him.
Holywow I loved how the Hobgoblin and Sniff were just bouncing off eachother so well. Then the Hobgoblin giving Sniff ✨EMPATHY✨ my god that was amazing, especially with how Moominpapa and Little My were like “ew get away from me”
I love how the Groke is now just becoming a more casual part of the community especially with the trial episode, like don’t get me wrong they’re still uneasy with her presence but they still wanted to give her a fair trial and everything.
Ooooh no the ✨The bad feelings✨ I was having about Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll were riiiighttttt. Moomintroll seemed more angry about having to leave the valley (and Snufkin by association) than leaving Snorkmaiden to the point he was unintentionally hurting her. Twice. Technically thrice if you include the fact they broke up. But I’m glad that Moomintroll is beginning to learn that he’s gonna have to accept a couple of things about Snufkin, if he ever wants him to stay. But still kinda hurts a bit.
I loved that Moominpapa and Moominmama have character arcs that don’t involve getting divorced, it’s refreshing and sure they still fight and have moments being mad at eachother but at the end of the day they still love each other and honestly? I love them for that.
Ah Moominpapas midlife crisis, I hope that I can be able to just pack up and go when I hit mine. Sounds like the dream honestly and I wish I could be as creative as Moominmama, just painting the walls with no worries.
I also LOVED the sea shanties just 👌😩 it brings me so much joy because there was a good chunk of time where that’s all I’d listen too.
The last episode though also gave me a gut punch because of the fact Snufkin came back before he left for the winter, and that he just welcomes himself in because he knows that they wouldn’t mind him being there, regardless of if they are or not. I hate it here. Snufkin you found family fuck. And that everyone there played ‘The Moomin Family’ for the kid.
“Have you checked his bedroom yet?”
“Naturally c:”
of course you have you absolute loser I love you for that. Seeing him get so excited about possibly finding HIS letter, only to be disappointed was devastating too.
Oh but the puppet show, oh when I tell you I almost cried, It’s even sadder that Moomintroll (seemingly) isn’t going to back to Moominvalley. Also my heart dropped to my ass when they almost lit the fire with the ancestors inside, but Snufkin excitedly finding the note inside the fireplace? Put my heart right back in my throat
But more lightheartedly damn Snufkin has got some moves and seeing everyone close to the Moomin family looking back at their time and memories together fondly was so incredibly sweet.
Anyways TL;DR a super strong season that got me right in the feels every time, I’m so excited to be able to start the 3rd season soon!! But thank you so much for reading this! I hope you have a wonderful day, night or time and take care!!

Today I woke up and chose chaos
No background version under the cut
I finished a book the other day and this is my way of coping with book hangover ok 😔?
First anime moomin redesign and... Rewritten?
Why not? What if the first anime adaptation had a remake in the late 70s, a little closer to the original characters, but keeping the innovations that I like (and plus add a little of my own, but that's a small thing). Like, maybe I’ll make a fanfic for fun.Moomin is the same, but maybe a little braver than in Shin mumin.The Snork Maiden is the same age as Moomitroll. She is a smart, modest girl, but she can be cheeky sometimes. Plays the piano.Sniff. The youngest of the company. A cowardly, profit-loving and money-loving boy.Snufkin is three years older than Moomintroll. Perhaps a slightly more pronounced dislike for prohibitory signs, houses and park rangers (they were not present in the anime, even in the lost episodes). Tireless adventurer.Little My is several months older than Snufkin, so she is the oldest in the company. She is extremely malicious, sarcastic and cunning.Mymble the younger - The girl is serious and straightforward. Loves herself and her luxurious hair. Elegant, quite friendly and responsive. Very romantic. At the age of 16, she ran away to Moominvalley with My (by chance, with her, her sister was 8 years old.)The rest of the character may not change much. Now look at the publication date.
And bonus. (Sorry for such an April Fool's joke.)
