I got bored and made a future Moomin valley AU and gave them all little happy families

So my Moomin valley fixation came back after like 5 whole years, and originally these were just meant to be one off little ship kid concepts but I grew attached to them and the idea of it and eventually it kinda evolved into a next generation AU in the span of like 3 days… Hope I’m not too late to the party chat…

I’ve been thinking up a LOT about this AU, but I’ll just give a basic run down rlly fast:

Lumi and Linna are best friends and basically take over the roles of snufkin and moomin, who are now lumis parents, the AU is very slice of life and follows a lot of the main lessons from the original moomin shows (Especially a veeeerrryyy familiar dilemma about a friend feeling sad over one choosing to leave for the winter)

Lumi is similar to Snufkin where she has a big urge to get away from social situations and be on her own, and can really only spend prolonged amount of time with her parents (or Linna in certain situations). Despite looking almost exactly like snufkin, she acts a lot like Joxter and it’s no suprise the two are actually very close especially considering their equal love for sleeping and hating authority. Despite her love for sleeping and her indifference to the idea of hibernation, ever since Lumi was able to choose she’s always chose to go south with Snufkin. Even if this makes Linna sad.

Linna is much more social than Lumi, and doesn’t mind speaking her mind and having fun with others. She takes after Snorkmaiden with her love for Romance, and often fantasizes about her “Prince Charming.” Linna, unlike Lumi, has hibernated for all her life, even after she was given the option to hibernate or not, she often wishes that Lumi would stay for the winter, but Lumi is insistent on traveling, but the two are always happy to meet again during the spring and go on their normal adventures. She usually acts as the “pact leader” and is often the one leading the games and day plans, but Lumi helps take charge when they are going on adventures as she is best at it.

There’s a couple side characters that are turned into more important roles, like for example in this AU the joxter is actually a reoccurring character !! (Let’s just pretend that Joxter and Snufkin met & rekindle their relationship and so now Joxter gets to be a silly grandfather!!)

That’s pretty much the basic rundown, and yes I did choose to ship snorkmaiden and Ninny, it was last minute but I thought it’d be actually rlly cute unironically.

Anyways Here’s some extra doodles I made cause I wanted to attempt to replicate Tove’s doodling style to finish off this post, so enjoy these!! And thank you for reading!!

I’m in my ex-people-pleasing era and Ninny is getting a bit too relatable

[julili]

so after Ninny's quest in that one Snufkin game I really wanted to see more interactions between these two. I also heard a theory that Ninny might me a mumrik, the same specie as Snufkin, so I thought that their adventrues together would be an adorable idea, especially seeing Snufkin acting like a big brother to her <3

my personal take on Ninny ❤️ her story is my favourite

[jowbokitten]

have a Ninny 💖 I hc Ninny as a mumrik cuz in the book, she hisses at moominpapa and has sharp teeth (like my hc for all mumriks!)

[ashleydrawscats]

Ninny!!! ❤️

She’s probably my favorite character though sometimes I can’t decide between her and Snufkin 😖

I heavily relate to her story, truly it means so much to me. Also seeing how compassionate, patient, and understanding Moomimamma is always makes me tear up 🥹

Moominmamma is the best mamma 💕

The Moomins (More specifically MoominValley the 90's dub) has become one of my favourite comfort series ever.

My absolute favourite episodes are An Invisable friend and The invisable child, i adore Ninny and her little bell, to think in this world when a child is made to feel like a burden and when they learn from adults to dislike themselves they turn invisible

and when they are nurtured and loved and love themselves theyre visable again, it's an incredible metaphor for how children in those environments must feel, its honestly such a hopeful two episodes that i almost cried when Moominmama was making Ninny a brand new dress oooh its so sweet 🥹
