My personal hcs for how they looked in a comet in moominland!!

[shrimp-moment]

Snufkin and Moomin! (Pt. 2 from my Joxter fanart) :)

today someone asked me if Moomintroll was a cow because of "moo" I got to tell them he is in fact, a troll, and that he resembles a hippo. they were surprisingly dissapointed 😔

Comet in Moominvalley 🌠 alternative ending (or not ending... of course, the comet doesn't hit)

As the family was about to take shelter in the cave, they stopped at the sight of the raging comet cutting through the clouds and revealing the impending disaster. They all knew then, yet no words were spoken between them, for there was nothing left to say. This was the end.

I was left utterly speechless at how poorly this story was adapted in Moominvalley. There was no impact, no sense of urgency or drama. In the book, as well as the 90s film, there is this constant sense of dread from the comet looming in the sky. Even though disaster feels inevitable, the family keeps going and stay together till the end.

In Moominvalley, the comet isn't a threat until we're halfway through the episode, leaving very short time for building up the tension. And yet, even after the reveal, the comet still doesn't feel threatening, because nobody seems to care?!

And don't get me started on the thing with the Groke 😤 what even was that.

At the bare minimum, they could have given us a moment like this to let us feel the emotional impact of when the characters believe this is the end. Just something to make us care. Also, by having Snufkin grab Moomintroll's paw, it could show the continuation of Snufkin's arc of learning to love and depend on his friend, rather than running away. Plus, it seems like a fitting "show, don't tell" solution to what he never got to actually say at the mountains episode 👀

This was just supposed to be an animatic, but I apparently can't help myself, so oops, I animated it instead lol

“All the other stars keep to their courses, and go along just like trains on their rails, but comets can go absolutely anywhere; they pop up here and there wherever you least expect them.”

“Like me,” said Snufkin, laughing. “They must be sky-tramps!”

Moomintroll looked disapprovingly at him. “It's nothing to laugh at,” he said. “It would be a terrible thing if a comet hit the earth.”(from Comet in Moominland)

I didn't enjoy season 4 of Moominvalley that much, not in a "they didn't make Snufmin canon" way but in a "they used as the series finale the comet in Moominland, one of the most important stories in the whole Moomin franchise, and even tho they could have made a masterpiece of an ending they removed everything that made the story so impactful and emotional and it ended up being bland, like a boiled chicken without any seasoning" way.

Comet In Moominvalley

Scene rewrite comic by Comodraws

This scene would take place in between the characters flying with the hemulan and crashing at moominhouse. Instead of crash landing at the comet party, they land in the dried up sea just outside the forest.

I was disappointed with how dulled down the dried up sea scene was in the show, as were many other fans. So I decided to take a one week break from my own webcomic (Imagine That on WB), and put my skills to good use on a scene rewrite. I tried to keep it in the style of Gutsy’s Moomins in terms of how the characters speak and such, but pulled inspiration from the book too. I hope you enjoy!
