I've been thinking this on and off the last week or so, but I really think that any Moomins fans out there might love...

A novel called "Because You'll Never Meet Me" and its sequel "Nowhere Near You" by Leah Thomas:

🔸Two best friends on opposite sides of the world (who can never meet in person because of their unique health conditions)

🔸Snail mail! The entire story is told through these two boys' exchange of penpal letters, especially because one of them is deathly allergic to electricity and can't use the internet, phone, social media, etc. without having a seizure

🔸Deep devotion to building a friendship and mutual fighting for common ground

🔸A "romantic" quality to such a deep friendship that isn't reliant on proximity despite the pining to see each other in person

🔸But ultimately a story about the importance of friendship and how to set aside your fears, differences, and the ugly parts of yourself that you want to hide away for the sake of being seen and showing up for another person

🔸Extrovert adopting their favorite introvert dynamic (always heart-warming, in my opinion)

🔸Love is important in all forms: no matter if it's platonic, familial, un-reciprocated, or romantic, the idea that love is as much an action as it is a feeling is super prevalent💜

They're SO beautifully written, and even if the genre is a mashup of contemporary fiction, coming-of-age, and science fiction, these stories have such a unique emotion attached to them.

This feeling is so familiar if you're a fan of the Moomins, that bitter-sweet nostalgia mixed with the knowledge that you can't always be close to the people you care about, or if you've ever formed a deep bond with someone hundreds or even thousands of miles away while trying to better yourself through the invisible support of someone's words in the back of your mind.

If you need something refreshing and heartfelt to read this summer, then these two books might be for you!

I am! It's been a WHILE since I've been on Tumblr, but I still love how it's a great place for tiny fandoms to come together, discover, and share whatever creations they've made with one another☺️

I'm most active on Instagram and have been sharing most of my BYNMM art on there, but if there are fans who still frequent the halls of Tumblr then please reblog or message me or tag me so I can see what you've made, felt, or thought about BYNMM or NNY!

(I'm not sure if the art I've posted for it here on Tumblr has been showing up in the tag searches, but I've been trying, believe me🤞)

These books made my heart hurt in the best ways, and I'm dying to find others who know and love them, too, so feel free to say hi!💜💜💜

every day i get closer to convincing all of my artistic friends to read bynmm so i can exploit their abilities for content

[raskalou]

Me, waiting for NNY to get delivered, even though I know very well it's gonna take at least a month

Calling all Blundereier!!

Inktober is a long-standing internet tradition, so I thought, “why not celebrate it in combination with our cherished Because You’ll Never Meet Me?” And thus, the EGGTOBER PROMPT LIST was created!

Please feel free to do with these as you like, and tag your creations with #blundereggtober :) I hope you guys enjoy!

P.S. — kindly ignore my lousy formatting skills, I was in a bit of a rush to get this out! Love, Admin El

Ollie: I just realized.... I had a terrible childhood.

Liz: ...Yeah.

Moritz: You're.... just now realizing that?

Ollie: You guys knew?? Why didn't you tell me?

[vincentvangogh-ingtobed]

We all have our headcanons of dark, broody moritz but IMO this is what @cuttoothom was thinking with his design

“How gay are you, on a scale of one to rainbows?”

“Ah. I can’t comprehend rainbows.”

It’s been like 84 years since I posted on this account and even longer since a book made me feel as hard as Because You’ll Never Meet Me and Nowhere Near You by @cuttoothom has made me feel. So here’s some sweet dolphin-wavy disaster boi that I scraped out of my soul at 2 am.

For the egg carton :^)
