#snufkin core

[saigogyros111408]

Sometimes I wanna be like Snufkins, independent, drifter, kind, chill, dependable and most probably enjoying his life. Just connected with nature and living each day to the fullest. How cool is he, the coolest and chillest character I know. 💚⛰️🏕️

I love him and also the fact that he gives off some what of Cavetown's music. Like his Cavetown core. 🐸💚

What an exciting weekend its been! It was so nice to cosplay my girl again, but I learned that there are definitely some costume pieces that need to retire lol. I had a lot of fun with my buddies (not pictured are 12 other friends who didn't dress as moomin folk) and spent a lot of money, so I'm ready to collapse. Definitely made some core memories this adventure <3

Do tell me if there is an actual answer to this because I couldn't find such a thing myself or atleast stumble across it like I did with other characters but I do really wonder where Snorkmaiden's character came from.

In a world where much of the cast came from inspiration drawn upon Tove's own life, particular family or partners or memories (Signe is Moominmamma, Viktor is Moominpappa, Tove is vaguely Moomintroll, Atos is both Muskrat and Snufkin [and apparently Lars is Snufkin too?], Tove and Vivica are Thingumy and Bob, Tuulikki is Too-Ticky, Muddler is inspired by Tove's memories of playing with her aunt's buttons, Joxter and the Silk-Monkey are based on Tove's cat) Snorkmaiden feels like a very strange outlier amid all of this despite being an important character in the books and a core family member in the comics.

I suppose Sniff's lack of clear inspiration is something I wonder about too but Snorkmaiden grew into something more nuanced as Sniff became pushed into the background as the original series went on (in the comics), she feels she should be someone or something in Tove's life but I can't tell who or what.

I was in the midst of doing a book report on this realist-era novel called Madame Bovary and I discovered how similar the titular Emma Bovary is to Snorkmaiden's comic characterization; A woman who was bound by the small mundanity of her real life that so contradict her romantic idealism which she absorbed from books, becoming so wretchedly displeased and bored of her milk-toast and simple-minded first love and husband (who married her mostly because of her beauty and a forbidden infatuation and not really anything else) that she can't help but chase after men who she finds more stimulating and exciting and rich, constantly yearning for the romance of the upper class and growing resentful of the quant country life she's made to live in and so she spends lavishly, creating a devastating dept that would ultimately pull her hand to a painful suicide (well, maybe not that last part, but still). And there are arguable parallels between Moominpappa and Emma's husband's father, as he was surprisingly similar to Emma in his lavish spending and scorned his son for how boring he is.

Of course, it isn't a one-to-one comparison persé due to the personal circumstances of their characters, but the strong parallels that Snorkmaiden grew into as a character in the comics is still incredibly striking. It makes me believe she was merely a female love interest tacked on for the male protagonist - simply because that's how adventure stories usually go - who grew into a satire of such a trope, a character confounded by a Bovarism and romantic excitement she wants to relive again and again when things become too stale for her.

But, of course, this is just a theory based on a thought I had while trying to do a book report for my language studies class, I could be completely completely wrong and the answer is that she's based on some other girlfriend Tove had, who knows.
