Okay so I’ve got a Moomin theory
Specifically about the Groke. So in the Swedish original she’s called Mårran, right? Okay, but in the Finnish version it’s Mörkö. That doesn’t mean anything in Finnish.
However
“Mörk” means “dark”and “ö” means an island in swedish. And where does Moomin befriend/talk to her?? On an island. In a storm. And she is also (in)famous for going around in the dark, right?
CAN YOU SEE WHAT I SEE??
