Always cracks me up when people who haven't seen much of Moomins characterize Snufkin as someone who is always very wise and mature and perfectly chill and who knows everything. Boy I remember you from the early books. I remember you wanted to call a boat "Lurking Wolf".

#he appears always cool and collected because he's quiet and confident.#<-listen to me he is just as silly as his friends. he's just more understated about it #even 90s series snufkin who better fits the archetype of cool mature loner is also a mischievous little guy #storyrambles #moomins #snufkin #look i know he matures in the books and that it depends on the continuity but i don't think i can ever let this one go. it's so funny #snufkin: 'i think lurking wolf is a nice name' :)#moomin: 'absolutely not??? get out of here'#early book snufkin really is such a delight though. tossing rocks off a cliff for fun. constantly talking about how beautiful the world is #playing bumper cars on clouds with snorkmaiden. snapping at sniff because his poetry sucked jdfhbvdjdjfk #and sure he matures/his character was definitely changed in the later books but he still has his moments #'i feel weird and bad when i think of how rude i was to teety-woo and how sad moomin likely is right now. hm. i must be sick.'#...ok snufkin. alright.#or his unmitigated excitement at the thunderstorm in november. a lighter moment in an otherwise heavy book :)
