Yes! Some Moomintroll headcanons:

He never quite becomes at good at cooking as his mother, nor does he ever get the hang of writing like his father, but he does become a sort of jack-of-all trades in terms of house work and repair. Moomintroll often gets ideas in his head about projects he wants to work on, and when he gets started, he tends to become completely absorbed, skipping meals and sometimes even sleep.

Moomintroll can be a bit self-absorbed and oblivious at times, but when it really counts, he becomes a source of calm and comfort for those around him. It’s not so much that he consciously tries to make himself a leader, but he falls so naturally into the leadership role that other people feel compelled to follow his example.

I hc Moomintroll as bisexual. He’s aware of his attraction to girls from a young age, after he got over the whole “girls have cooties” phase. And he romanticizes the idea of having a wife, like Moominpappa has Moominmamma. So while he starts crushing on Snufkin early on in their friendship, it takes him a while to realize that all his affection and pining isn’t platonic.

Moomintroll and Too-Ticky end up sharing a special bond. As a child, he doesn’t quite understand why he looks up to her so much, and it’s not until much later that he realizes that Too-Ticky was basically his first queer role model. That, and Too-Ticky shares his love of woodworking. I like to imagine that she tutored him in the art of carpentry, especially over the winter, whenever Moomintroll woke up early from his hibernation.

As an adult, Moomintroll is far more self-assured with himself, confident in a way that others (especially Snorkmaiden and Snufkin) find very attractive. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Nor is he easily embarrassed.

Moomintroll is a very tactile person. He grew up in a family where physical affection was freely given, and it’s become his main love language. And while he does his best to respect everybody’s bodily autonomy, asking for consent with his words or body language, there is a part of him that feels a little hurt/rejected when someone turns down a hug. This becomes a big learning curve with Snufkin, who is more particular about when and who gets to touch him.

Moomintroll is the type of person to develop crushes quite often. Most of the time, those crushes are short-lived. Even so, Moomintroll tries to be conscientious, because he’s aware that Snorkmaiden can become insecure if she feels like Moomintroll’s affection for her is fading/being outweighed by his newest crush. Moomintroll comes to believe that honesty is the best policy. So he will inform Snorkmaiden of his newest crush, while also reminding her that his love for her has not dwindled.

Thanks for the prompt!! These were really fun!

Moominvalley season 3 did Moomintroll so dirty

Hi, I just discovered Moominvalley recently, and I love the show, but there are some things about Moomintroll that are ... in season 3. I know there are some changes of writers and directors after season 2, so it may be not as good as before, but this is another problem.

Snorkmaiden Is Just A Backup Girlfriend

In episode 12, season 2 - Moomintroll and the Seahorses: After Moomintroll goes with his parents and not stays with Snorkmaiden, he meets the Seahorses and falls in love with them.

In episode 2, season 3 - Moomintroll's Grand Adventure: When Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll meet again, they hold hands, look at each other romantically without saying any words about getting back together. Which means that Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden didn't break up and just separated for a while, so they don't need to say any words about it. This means they made Moomintroll cheated on Snorkmaiden during the separation and made him use her as a "backup girlfriend" since the Seahorses didn't want him.

Well, now when I think about it, they already did him dirty with the Seahorses episode.

They Can't Choose Only MooMaiden Or SnufMin

They made MooMaiden canon, but still made Moomintroll go so far with Snufkin. Isn't that just cheating?

They made Moomintroll climb the Lonely Mountain to see Snufkin even when Snufkin wrote to him 'everyone sometimes needs to be alone'. Which is selfish but would've been justifiable if they let Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden break up, but the writers, directors want to have their cake and eat it too. I'm not saying that this is the only time it ever happened, it's just that they've never went this far before.

I can already tell someone is going to get mad at me

[kyoonglight]

guess who's using moomin to study for biopsych (งツ)ว

[galacticturnip-art]

Kafkelp, the manatee Pokémon! Kafkelp hides in reed beds and in their parents foliage for safety.

Moomaiden, the manatee Pokémon! Moomaiden is the evolved form of Kafkelp, and is often mistaken for a mermaid or a beautiful swamp woman.

Fantasea, the manatee Pokémon! Fantasea is the evolved form of Moomaiden. It’s long flowing kelp and sea grass armor protect it and their young, but make it harder for boaters to see. Fantasea often have scars where boats have hit it.

I wish to talk about the Moomins

Send me a character or ship name, and I’ll give you some thoughts/headcanons I have

Or share your own

TW: exaggerated negative thoughts

Disgusted with the lack of Snorkmaiden appreciation on youtube. Like 90% of the Moomin amv’s on youtube are snufmin, which is fine, except so many of them portray Snorkmaiden in a negative light

Don’t get me started on all those compilations of scenes that deliberately frame Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden’s relationship as toxic. “what NOT to do in a relationship according to Moomin and Snorkmaiden” my ass

I thought we were past the stage of villainizing female characters that get in the way of your yaoi ship

Look. I love our tragically pining snufmin boys as much as the next fujoshi. But tell me, why can’t I find a single AMV for Moomintroll/Snorkmaiden?

I understand why springtime trio is such a rare ship. Ot3’s generally are. But the moomaiden and snufmaiden ships should at least have a fraction of the content that snufmin enjoys

If I had the time and patience to make my own amv, I would, but unfortunately I do not

Anyway, that’s it. Rant over.

If nobody knows may I suggest moomaiden?

Awkward to ask but anyone know what the ship name is for Moomintroll & Snorkmaiden?
