#mumrik kin

[marrok-dark-knight]

Having a lucid dream and immediately running around on all fours with limitless energy, running in a field on a rainy day. Smelling the dew and grass, growling and hissing. Jumping around higher than my body could conceive. Waking up with that rush of happiness. I’ll cherish it for what it was ❤️

Hello Traveler!

Welcome to my Journal!

My name is Yehuda Yocheved (he/him) and I am a snufkin. Not The Snufkin but a snufkin nonetheless. I welcome any nicknames you can come up with in good intent.

Here I will write about my travels, books that I am reading, my crafting, and maybe work (unfortunately, this creature has a job but I do hypothetically enjoy it). I am hoping especially when the weather cools down I will be able to adventure more without melting.

You are welcome to sit by the fire for as long as you like and are polite.

Request mayhaps? :>

I’m a mumrik kin (self coined term) basically a human cat hybrid from the show the moomins 🥺❤️

Sorry, but I fear this request toes the line of my boundaries with fictionkin requests. I'd be happy to do a different request or one less explicitly tied to a specific media!

Snusmumriken – Snufkin

The suggestive Swedish name Snusmumriken is based on an outdated colloquial Swedish term for an old, boring man, a snusmumrik. This meaning has little to do with the character in the books, who is a philosophical wanderer and Moomintroll’s best friend. However, the two words the name is made up of, snus and mumrik, may be considered separately. The Swedish dialectal word mumrik is a derogatory term for a rude or stupid man, but Jansson uses it as a noun indicating Snufkin’s species, i.e. en mumrik, ‘a mumrik’, and mumrikar, ‘mumriks’. The –en suffix marks the definite article of the name Snusmumriken, as with many others of Jansson’s invented names. The prefix snus– has two possible meanings, either the noun snus, indicating ‘snuff’, ‘powdered tobacco for inhaling through the nostrils’, or the verb snusa, indicating ‘to sniff or snuff’. As the two meanings are the same for both Swedish snus and English snuff, the prefix has been easily translated into the initial part of the name Snufkin. Meanwhile, the –kin suffix of the English variant stems from Middle Dutch -kijn and Middle Low German –kīn, and is used to form diminutives such as bumpkin.

In English, the entire name Snufkin denotes the character’s name as well as his species. When the character is introduced to the reader, he is referred to only as ‘a snufkin’, i.e. an anonymous member of the species (Jansson 1967: 43). However, the next time he is mentioned the name Snufkin is capitalised and has lost the indefinite article, indicating that it has become his personal name (Jansson 1967: 43). This change from species to personal name is not as quick in the original Swedish text. There Snufkin is continuously referred to as en mumrik (‘a snufkin’), until he explicitly introduces himself as Snusmumriken. In Swedish a distinction made between mumriks as a species and Snusmumriken, which is the name the character. However, in the English version there is no distinction between the character Snufkin and his species of snufkins, aside from the capitalisation of the name, and as such the character does not require a proper introduction in the English translation.

The Finnish variant, Nuuskamuikkunen, is a translation that has been created with the presumption that the prefix snus– in Snusmumriken refers to the noun snus, not the verb snusa. Nuuska is, without ambiguity, the Finnish word for the noun ‘snuff’. However, the root of the second part of the name, muikkunen, is less obvious. Finnish muikku, meaning the freshwater fish ‘vendace’, is a possible source of the name, as Snufkin is known to be an avid fisher. Additionally, muikku(-nen) is phonetically similar to mumrik(-en), although the words are not similar in their possible meanings. What is notable is that, like mumrik, the word muikkunen acts as the name for the species in the Finnish translations. There can be several creatures called muikkunen, but the name Nuuskamuikkunen only belongs to one character.

Ok broski I've done my overly extensive research and now have conducted my thoughts on which Moominvalley species each monkee would be. *ahem* Mike would be either a moomintroll or a snork, I'm leaning more towards a snork because he's moody. Peter is a mumrik of course. Davy is a mymble, because smol and feisty and uh you know 😳, Micky is just stinky kin sorry I dont make the rules

yes, i agree to all of this. especially with micky being a stinky kin because he is absolutely the stinkiest boy on the planet

Some art I did today ❤️

A piece on a creature not built for society looking out onto the beauty of it.

[yehudathesnufkin]

I drew a small self-portrait today! It has been a while since I have been able to do a full drawing. The shirt I am wearing in the portrait is one I am currently sewing. We will see if I am able to finish the mock-up soon. I want to wear the ensemble before it gets too cold.

I drew a bunch of sharks in the background! I love sharks so much.

moomins!

Favorite character: SNUFKIN he's always been a big comfort character for me ever since I was really little I love him so much

Second favorite character: Ninny really fucking made traumatized Baby Matt experience catharsis like that moment where she sees the ocean for the first time and cries because of how big it was? I have no words. She means a lot to me as a child abuse victim.

Least favorite character: When I see Stinky, It's On Sight 🔫

The character I’m most like: Moomin is literally my main kin hfjdgsj That Me

Favorite pairing: Oh You Know.

Least favorite pairing: Hmmmm I don't really have one I just hate the incest ships between the moomin family and the mymbles/mumriks like can you guys not be freaks?

Favorite moment: Any variation of Ninny becoming visible again does something to me man like the sense of security that was so hard to establish because her trust in people was really damaged because of what her abusers put her through that she was able to build again because of the love and care Moominmamma and the family gave her like bro Ninny's out there living her best life now Good For Her Good For Her

Rating out of 10: 15/10 again it has it's flaws but it's been a really big source of comfort for me since I was little

The Irish matriarch glanced down at the stranger, emerald hues smiling amidst the shadow of her hood. "Well, what a delight. If I'm not mistaken, and Little My's descriptions are accurate, you must be Snufkin." Ealga bent down with an extended hand. Her dulcet tones were laced with warmth. "I'm Ealga, Mother of Ireland. It's a genuine pleasure to meet more members of my treasure's family."

➳ –   With his attention focused on the evening’s catch, he’d kept his back turned to her while he unhooked the small bass. Still he could sense the strange yet natural presence of the woman, like a gentle brush of wind he welcomed it with a calm smile resting on his face while dropping his dinner in the basket beside him.

    When she’d spoken, he blinked, surprised to hear an accent so foreign and southern, yet vaguely familiar if he could think of any from his travels. The mumrik turned and straightened to meet a woman much taller than him--perhaps almost twice his size. From his angle, he could see her friendly gaze, ancient and enchanting they looked, but her hair! It was like wildfire tamed by the hood of the cloak. His head slightly canted, curious at the woman so striking and beautiful, and did she say she knew his sister?

    “Yes...yes that’s me...and who are you?”

    A pause as she introduced herself, and he was almost too stunned to meet her handshake. Ireland? He knew the place, of course, he had his own kin there. But what was she saying calling herself its mother?

    Realizing he was being impolite to a very patient and kind figure, he met her handshake with his own, albeit smaller and calloused hand.“I’m charmed, really. Did you say you were Ireland’s Mother? As in, are you its ambassador?” she didn’t look like one, or give off that annoyingly authoritative aura. No, she felt more like...well, if he’s ever met a sorcerer before, he would say she was some sort of druid or magical being. It was very strange to think about.

When other therians and otherkin talk about their beliefs on where their kintypes stem from, whether it’s spiritual, psychological, or any other (all are valid❤️) it makes me wonder what my view is. I never considered it much, I just always knew. I knew what I was and I never looked deeper into it. I just had this fact in my subconscious that I was different somehow from my peers and the animalistic qualities I had and wanted throughout my life proved it? Anyone else have similar experiences or thoughts?
