but let's talk about moomins ~ discussion thingy

I'm a Finn so Moomin is, like, everywhere to the point it's still hard for me to realize it now has a "proper fandom" that isn't just Finnish shitposting 

Anyway I grew up with the 1990-1992 anime myself and it's the one I know the best! I have also read some of the comic volumes as a kid but perhaps understandably I thought they were boring because all the social commentary and whatnot just flew past me. As for the books I have read some of them, but I feel like they aren't necessarily for me? I haven't really enjoyed the ones I read but it's more of a personal preference than any critique to Jansson's writing because she's honestly extremely skilled. I think it's just her philosophy that doesn't really mesh with mine all the time. 

As a kid my fave was Little My but now as older I have started appreciating Sniff a lot! And I also like the anime Nibbling a lot because sailor suits and #gossip haha 

Caine

oh wow

it used to be that?

i want to see some of that shitposting because I love shitposting

We never had Moomin here but everyone around me on Twitter loves how cute it is lol that I even reblogged this post yesterday, 

(relatable tbh)

Kogami 

haha, yeah, that's how I found them, through random encounter. then I started watching the 90s series.

I actually discovered moomins through this and then i just started watching meme-type stuff and reading fanfics and then i see the clip of snufkin jumping off the airship and just die

and that's yeah

EDIT: i had the wrong video, it was MOOMIN CRIME and not the one with little my wanting to date snufkin

it used to run here early in the morning with other cartoons so sometimes i caught a few episodes as a kid. it's cute as hell and i wanna actually properly watch the whole thing i just fail to find a good site where to watch it ripp because let's be honest i don't remember anything from back then lmao

Clockwork

boom it's watchcartoon

EternallyScreaming

GOD

BLESS

i never know which one of these sites will actually let you watch a thing and which is just glorified malware and i was too scared to try after i lost my bookmarks with the legit ones lmao

Clockwork

you are very welcome

now go make me proud and WATCH THAT MOOMINS

it's the 90s one

but while i'm busy being AAAAAAAAAAAAA

can we just bring up the very controversial topic of

duck snufkin?

I'm just gonna pop in and say that I think Sniff's cool, but also I'm very interested in watching some of the cartoons but I haven't really gotten around to it. 

i introduced my dad to moomins and i sent him MOOMIN CRIME and then the best of sassy snufkin comp and he said that Snufkin was now his spirit animal

also he wishes the show was just snufkin

I used to love the 90s cartoon. I've just started watching the new Moomin Valley show and I can't get over the sheer amounts of gay present in episode 2.

Drowzee

THE SHEER AMOUNTS OF GAY?!

I MUST WATCH

idk where to watch it though.

I gotchu covered:

Moomin's basically waiting for Snufkin to come back cause it's spring and spends the whole ep pining over him. Snorkmaiden comes up to him with some snowbells and she's going on about how they symbolise love or something, and the whole time Moomin is just staring wistfully at the woods looking for Snufkin. And THEN he accidentally calls Snorkmaiden Snufkin when apologising for not listening to her and it's all just so gay agadedfbgdafb
