hi sorry in advance if this is weird but i couldn't for the life of me figure out who machete was reminding me of and just now i figured it out - surku the dog from the moomins. can't remember enough to tell how accurate that is personality wise but something about the image of a distressed pointy-nosed dog shivering in a coat... plus ne on molemmat ahdistuneita queer ikoneita
I love Surku! Surku must be protected at all costs.
If you ask me, he's even more distressed in the comics.
I keep him on my fridge door as well.
But now that we're on the topic of Moomin characters, I must add that I see Machete in various Fillyjonks a lot. The short story Fillyjonk who believed in disasters is one of my favorite pieces of literature ever, when I first read it it shook me to my core, I still revisit it on yearly basis. For someone who seemed so wild and free spirited by nature, Tove Jansson did remarkable job at catching and depicting the essence of anxiety, uncertainty, vague sadness and irrational fears. At least in my opinion.
#loving the last moment Finnish jumpscare by the way#answered#anonymous#in the comics Surku only likes cats and is ashamed of it#I don't mean to theorize but surely there's no deeper meaning to that or anything#coming from a queer author#all iterations of moomin are wonderful I'm recommending them to literally everyone#but read fillyjonk who believed in disasters if you can#it has moments that are very Machete-esque#everyone loves Little My and Moomin and Snufkin and I get that but man Fillyjonks just hit different#also Sniff my beloved you deserved better
