rmn: who saw the moomins last before they disappeared? did anything seem off?

Shadow always followed them like their......... Shadow.

Gaffsie asks if Snorkmaiden sees a "dark, handsome young man" in her future and snorkmaiden doesn't say what she sees but she exclaims "how rude!" whilst looking scandalised, and says that Gaffsie's gonna go tell Mrs Fillyjonk that she's a "disturbed child", and BASICALLY that means I can 100% choose to believe Snorkmaiden saw Gaffsie committing homosexual activities 🤭

I am so late but here are some lesser known Moomin characters in Finnish, Swedish and English!

Drontti Edvard - Edward – Dronten - Edward the Booble

Emma - Teaterråtta - Emma

Hosuli - Rådd-djuret/Klåttdjuret - Muddler/Fuddler

(This character has had appearances with many different names so you may remember it as one or the other)

Juksu - Joxaren - Joxter

Kaunishäntäinen orava - (ekorre) - (squirrel) (this character doesn’t appear to have a specific name in Swedish or English, but in Finnish, it is described as “beautiful-tailed”)

Louska (Kampsu) - Gafsan - Gaffsie

Muurahaiskorento (Muurahaisleijona) - Myrlejonet - Ant-lion

Nyyti - Knyttet - Toffle

(personal note on Toffle: My baby name was Nyyti so this character has always been dear to me. Now that I think of it, I look exactly like the character. How did my parents know?)

Sosuli - Sås-djuret - Fuzzy

Surku - Ynk - Sorry-oo

[crazy-god-bunker-jughead]

wait, okay, can you link the four good brethead fics? and any new ones you've discovered since march?

This reminded me that I did NOT bookmark them, so I had to go back and find them again. But I'm grateful I did.

Bret and Donna watch the sex tape (Brethead AND BettyDonna): Riverdale Psycho(s) by leporidae

Studying one: (I just find it cute) i care by waituntilnovember

Suck Bret's dick as a distraction: One Night Only by Gaffsie

Can't really see anything else I would really recommend, but there are kernels of good ideas in some. I have NOT read this one but it seems potentially promising https://archiveofourown.org/works/26018377/chapters/63264283

"Don’t you pretend, the fillyjonk thought grimly. I know how things are. Everything’s always peaceful like this just before a disaster.

She reached the last blue stripe, let the seventh wave rinse it for a moment, and then pulled the whole of the carpet out of the water.

(...)

The weather was far too fine, quite unnatural.

Something or other had to happen. She knew it. Somewhere below the horizon something black and terrible was lurking – working larger, drawing nearer – faster and faster…

One doesn’t even know what it is, the fillyjonk whispered to herself.

Her heart began to thump and her back felt cold, and she whirled around as if she had an enemy behind her. But the sea was glittering as before, the reflections danced over the floor in playful twists, and the faint summer wind comfortingly stroked her snout.

But it is far from easy to comfort a fillyjonk who is stricken with panic and doesn’t know why. With shaking paws she spread her carpet to dry, scrambled together her soap and brush and went rushing homewards to put the tea-kettle on the fire. Gaffsie had promised to drop in at five o’clock."

Morning. Will we ever see Gaffsie in a Moominvalley episode?

No I killed her

15 Questions

Thank you so much for the tag @fade-and-loathing-in-thedas​! ❤️❤️ These little tag games are so much fun!

Tagging: @heniareth @gaffsie @books-apples-socks and anyone else, who would like to! Though no pressure, as always :)

1. Are you named after anyone?

Nah, my mom was just really into this name because of the scandinavian spelling. It is also a name that is fairly common in Germany but spelled differently, so I get to do a lot of correcting, for fun lol

2. When was the last time you cried?

5 minutes ago... I’m an emotional wreck, OK? I stress cry, I cry when something mildly sad or upsetting happens in something I’m watching/playing/reading, I cry when I’m angry, I cry when there’s a sad bit on the darn news. I’ve made my peace with it and know that me crying just isn’t a big deal usually xD It’s just a thing that happens.

3. Do you have kids?

No. Never wanted to and so likely never will, either. Some of my friends/family around my age are starting to have kids and I adore all of them to absolute bits, but it’s just not for me personally.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Yep. Whenever I can get away with it. A lot of the time it just slips out. It’s a defense mechanism, OK? Though it’s mostly directed at myself.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

People’s moods/general vibes.

6. What’s your eye color?

Blue-green.

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both. Depends on the mood.

8. Any special talents?

I am weirdly bendy. Pretty sure it’s a genetic thing. When I was younger I used to be so wobbly, I’d just fall over if I didn’t actively concentrate on standing or if there was even the tiniest uneven spot in the ground when walking. I’d just drop. Now I have some muscles to stablelize this precarious construct of a body and it got a bit better. Still clumsy as hell, though. And I can twist up into really interesting knots. It’s fun.

9. Where were you born?

Hospital.

10. What are your hobbies?

Too many haha I’m a hobby hopper. I do a ton of different things at once and have a really hard time of sticking with one thing in particular. I really like gaming, reading, writing, drawing, painting, cross stitching, embroidery in general, playing the guitar, baking, yoga, any sort of martial arts thing, hiking, visiting museums, table top RPGs, etc., etc. ...

11. Have you any pets?

Not currently. I used to have some here and there. A mouse and then a budgy as a kid, later I had bunnies for a while. But my current appartment doesn’t allow pets and right now I don’t really mind. I have neither the time nor the money to take care of them properly. But I would like a cat someday maybe.

12. What sports do you play/have played?

I did a couple different types of martial arts. Karate the longest, but I also tried, Hapkido, Judo, Tai Chi (yes, that counts as a martial art), and, uh, archery? Yeah...

13. How tall are you?

I don’t know feet, cause I’m european so yeah. 1,71m <3

14. Favorite subject in school?

Literature and Biology.

15. Dream job?

I had a couple growing up. Running my own bookshop. Writer. Comic artist. Musician. After a bunch of collisions with reality, I’m actually pretty happy with where I’m headed right now, working in science. It’s a lot of fun, the right kind of challenging and I have this amazing opportunity to keep learning and expanding my horizon while being able to contribute a tiny little bit to gaining new knowledge all together (some of which might actually end up being useful one day). It’s cool. (Also, please don’t mistake my younger self wanting to be those things with me actually being good at any of those things. Took a bit to figure out that you actually need both the passion and the skill to make it work...)

the actual gaffsie knot, not the "gaffsie's revenge" bs mr brisk came up with in s3e3

gaffsie replied to your post “Do you think Jughead knows Bret wants to fuck him?”

The way he stares down Bret as he's hugging Betty suggests that he does.

This is true and you should say it.

ur ruining my fanfic gaffsie

damon is going to be the yoko of the oasis reunion i’m telling you. just wait and see

[storkmuffin]

Reading Mort by Terry Pratchett and startled to realize that despite being raised Catholic in an intensely Catholic household with priests and nuns produced one per generation and so on, my beliefs about life and death are basically what Terry Pratchett has Death say:

There is no justice, only death. I like this statement, not for what it says, but because it's true. I haven't lived that long, even, yet precisely the wrong people have died.

And I suspect it all works out in the end - which is kind of a radical statement of faith, isn't it?

Also, @gaffsie you were totally on the money. I am loving Mort and I suspect I will love the rest of the Death series of books.

gaffsie replied to your post: My usual vaguely self-deprecating joke is that I’m...

You earned you spot there, just like everyone else!

And I was actually like...the first person thought of and hired at this studio when they were building a team, since the studio head worked with me before and liked me. So I was definitely like...chosen. They asked ME to join, not me asking them for a job. I should learn to just accept that I belong here and am wanted here.

[maltedchocolatemilkshakes]

gaffsie replied to your post: we don’t hear much about jughead’s novel anymore...

I hope he’s still writing. That was his dream! It would be really sad if he dropped it. However, that novel is gonna be a bloated mess if he keeps adding to it.

and talk about genre-switching! if it’s ever published, his fans will talk about how he must have been on drug-induced fever-dreams or something while writing book three

though my angst-loving shrivelled heart suspects that laptop is currently getting cold and dusty on a shelf in that trailer instead
