Got the chance to bring this up again on Twitter, and though I've posted the summarised version of this from the article on here before, I don't think I've ever posted the actual clip before.
crappy google translate below:
"Our family, it's like the model for this whole thing, the Moomin company. But then... loneliness is a certain form of freedom. I might describe it better by talking about one of my characters who is a vagabond, called Snufkin. He is extremely admired by all the others in the valley because he is completely free. He comes and goes as he wants to, appears and departs, very much himself. Yes, he has been my idol too, but now I have begun to suspect that deep down he is quite self-centred and spoiled. He is a creature of luxury. It's very easy to go out into the wilderness when you're applauded when you get home, right? It's not hard to be alone like that."
#always makes me laugh just the idea of a creator years later going 'ive sussed the bugger out now' gfdjksl#she proper lays into him here too it's great 😂 get his ass tove#and i love it cause it's true! and i like that in November he does learn that he takes the moomins for granted etc.!#tove jansson#snufkin#does also remind me of her realising atos' flakiness ain't worth it that you kinda see in 'fair play'#and I'm sure there was an overlap there for her
