I believe I owe y'all another little sketchdump seeing as I haven't posted consistently in a while (and I apologize for that). I just haven't had a lot of time (or interest) in drawing lately. I've been focusing my time elsewhere, dealing with some personal stuff, falling head first into new fandoms that I'm too insecure to draw for (oh Trigun, why must u torment me so!!!! you know I cannot draw anything worthy of your brilliance!!) BUT I still try, now and again, I still stick pencil to paper (or tablet) and try out a few things here and there. Mostly backlog of Moomins doots and a pinch of Auri being precious!!! (in the process of setting up commissions, will likely post something about it within the next few weeks. Thinking of settling with OC's and fanart to start. we'll see)

Day of Finnish Music +Käärijä part 2

December 8th is the day of Finnish music, so today l'm writing an updated post of Finnish music (and culture) references in Käärijä's music on the People's Champion (2024) album.

Mr. Cha Cha (Cha Cha Cha demo)

Paula Koivuniemi Tummat silmät ruskea tukka (dark eyes and brown hair)

Ready to Go * Only thing I have for this song is Käärijä using the term 'maitojuna', which is literally 'milk train'. It's a saying that if you go out to the big city and don't make it, you come home in a milk train.

Cha Cha Cha

Haloo Helsinki! Ei suomalaiset tanssi Kinda an alternative take on Finns and our relationship with dancing and cha cha

Takavoltti

Cheek & Yasmine Yamako Syypää sun hymyyn (reason for your smile) Directly referred to. These lyrics translate 'syypää' as 'a/the reason' and it's not actually wrong but 'syypää' denotes more guilt, more responsibility meaning. Especially with the following lyrics being 'rooliini tyydyn', I'm resigned to my role.

Cheek was a big deal for years in Finnish music but he's since retired. I wanted to add the Moomins video set to his Timantit on ikuisia which is the best thing he contributed to Finnish music but I can't find it right now.

Duudsonit or Dudesons is a group of men doing crazy shit like the Jackass dudes. Not adding a video because I never really followed them but there are lots videos on youtube.

Yllytyshullut (Dare crazies?) was a show from 1998 to 2003 where people on the street were dared to do a bunch of random things for not that much money.

Ruoska Käärijä referes to this commercial that is apparently a meme.

Autiomaa

Lucky Luke is a well known cartoon and comic book Finland. It is originally Belgian. The Daltons nickname comes from the antagonists of this series.

Sex=Money

Danny Kesäkatu Danny has been famous since the 1960s and still performs today, I think, he's 82 years old. Kadulla on kuuma lyrics refers to this song and he claims to be bigger than him, too. He tried to enter Eurovision in 1966 but didn't make it.

Huh hah hei

Addition to last year's post: Huh hah hei ja rommia pullo is from Treasure Island and I swear there's some kids pirate song using those lyrics but I can't find it.

Though Popeda also has a song with that name. So check that out.

It's Crazy It's Party

Risto Räppääjä ja Viileä Venla Mageet sanat . I mentioned Matti Nykänen (originator of elämä on laiffii) and others said the lyrics also reminded them of this, so here you go.

That's it for this year! I really loved the album and I love all the FFinnish cultural references Käärijä adds to his music.

[luniise-kel]

redesigned the evil fellas and rewrote some of their lore,,

for any1 who cares, basically donella is now a healer / medic. when she and ulla found the eternal library, they still got into an argument but this time don wanted to go home because they found what they wanted to find while Ulla wanted to keep going deeper. accidents happen and ulla is cursed to stay in the library while don is cursed to stay out of it. don then dedicates her life to trying to get her bestie out of there. The curse also caused her to get a lazy eye plus a scar. Hugo used her scar eyebrow slit as inspiration for his own eyebrow slit. Most of the people who work for her are people she has healed / provides medicine.

her muscle for hire (cyrus) got a massive design overhaul bc i thought they both looked far too Evil. He works for Don because his brother is a bit ill and he cannot afford the meds normally, so he acquires them through don instead. I think hes a bit like laios from dungeon meshi in terms of personality, kinda goofy and well meaning. when he has to attack Varian and Co, hes like keeps apologizing because he feels bad hurting kids (hes like 30is).

Hugo comes to work w don bc of his arm (in me and my sister’s rewrite, hugo doesn’t have his left arm no more (blonde and no arm trope) ) and don is the one who made sure he didnt bleed out so he kinda owes her. also she helped to Make his arm. She tends to set him up with jobs here and there, before she sends him on the Eternal Library quest mostly to test his trust.

In terms of visual design, don gives people that weird metal wrist band to show other rogues and criminals that they are under her protection. She gave hugo one but he mistook it for a Strange hair tie and uses it as such. He uses a wrench to tighten it btws. anyways, don doesnt say anything about it because she dgaf.

uh sorry for the long ramble, i just have a many of thoughts about vat7k (specifically my ver) uh but yeah, i have more to say but just so the post isnt too long lmao (also funny snufkin doodle bc i was watching moomin)

[znackbug]

I made an Au of moominvalley a while ago and didn't post anything about it since.

anyway I finally drew them! Moominvalley but 10 years later.

I have some headcannons and I'll list them here:

-A moomin's fur will grow bigger and fluffier as they age. So Moomintroll is very cuddly!

-Moomintroll's scarf was gifted by Moominmama

-Snufkin let his hair grow to be very long (and very hard to brush)

-fur started growing on Snufkin's nose. Now he looks very similar to Joxter

-Snufkin still leaves when winter comes around, and Moomintroll is still very emotional about it

-They are not married because of Snufkin's commitment issues

-they don't have kids, but they ocasionally take care of Mymble's and Too-tickys children

🖤 ART TAG 🖤

Hey to all artists! I want to talk about our art journey. Some of us have a long path, some have started only recently, but each of us has had our own individual path and I think it's really important to remember how we all started. And it's also important to share it with others so that no one would be scared to start their own journey and just create.

How did you start drawing? What year was it that you become more seriously and consciously interested in it?

As everyone I'll say I've been drawing since early childhood, but I think the end of 2019 is my beginning. Because that's the time I started to practice actively.

When you felt the urge to share your art with other people? When did you start posting your drawings on social media?

Maybe it's always been? I think for the first time I posted something traditional drawn on my personal social media. I started my art socials in 2020.

Your first/earliest drawing. What were your impressions of it back then and what are your feelings now?

It's hard to track my very first drawing, but here are the early traditional drawings and my very first digital hand drawing. It was before I got a tablet, so it was drawn with a mouse. My impressions? My hand was tired... But if seriously back then it looked like something cool to me and I was surprised that I could draw something like that. Now, of course, I can see all my mistakes. But let's be honest, any mistake is a move forward.

🚧 ALARM 🚧

My very first attempts after getting a tablet.

Should I mention that I was upset at the first second that it didn't work out on the first try?

Your first fanart ever

I had a lot of traditional drawings of Adventure Time (I'm a big fan of Marceline). It's roughly a little over a decade ago.

But in digital, I guess this? Snufkin and The Groke from Moomin stories. [aug 8, 2020]

Your first gallavich fanart

Hi babies! This post and this post.

[nov 27, 2023] - oh my god it's almost a year???

But what if I told you that my sister asked me to draw Cameron Monaghan… Who knew that ten years later I'd be drawing him once again...

When you had bad days and things didn't work out, what inspired you to keep trying?

I just need to rest, try again, or think about what exactly goes wrong. When I started my path as a digital artist I was very inspired by the older work by 'big artists'. No one is perfect at the first moment and there is always a long road of striving and practice behind cool works. And I knew that the more I tried, the more I could consider myself 'cool' too. (spoiler: that feeling is still with me)

Show your old piece that you strongly dislike and tell why.

It's a hard choice. I stopped liking a lot of my work after a time, but this one was initially a struggle. I really didn't like how it looked in the end. I wasn't able to draw it as I wanted, and had problems with the face and dynamics. But the background is cool! (A lot of the work you don't like has some good in it!)

Renee and Andrew from AFTG [dec 5, 2021]

Show your old piece that you very like and tell why. What's the difference with the previous?

I love the shading and the face, especially eyes. And i still love this drawing! Face looks better than previous and hair has a dynamic, and the expression is really good.

Buck Toothsome from School for vampires [nov 8, 2021]

Show your old piece that you were very proud of back then.

I really loved this study redraw!

Ginny with Marcus from Ginny & Georgia [june 22, 2021]

Do you do any practice sketches or warm-ups before you draw something big?

I've started to do it recently! I'd forgotten how many sketches I made in sketchbooks when I was studying drawing.

I tried to change the pen pressure.

Sketch vs Final. Show your process.

Actually, it's been a tough process.

Your most recent drawing.

I'm working on my secret santa's gift right now, so I can't share it 🤭But here's my last sketch during warm-up session 🤲🖤

Give yourself some praise! Look at what improved in your art!

I just want to say that four years ago I would've been shocked by my current drawings. I've really improved in drawing faces and anatomy, I'm trying new interesting composition, trying to learn new things and use it in my works.

Any advice you'd give to your earlier self?

Do more thinking while creating your art. Do a sketches warm-ups before digging into the big work. Don't be afraid to draw it again if something doesn't work. Take breaks to physically exercise!

Set a goal for yourself for the coming year.

I want to improve facial expressions. Make a professional portfolio. Keep growing and enjoying drawing.

I want to see more your drawings...

A pinned post that I'll try to edit with time to keep track of ongoing projects/drawings, fandoms, as well comic parts (and if they're on hiatus etc.)

So, welcome. I draw mostly fanarts, comics, mostly focused on ships or on a story with sprinkles of a ship here and there. Can be wholesome or angst so be ready. Sometimes I post WIPs. I really want in the future to do original stuff too.

I also want to learn to make a video game, so I'm practicing on a short story I wrote and you could see sometimes here and there progress on that.

Moomintroll is the only one who understands me I think...

Also here's some updates on the 2 weeks I was absent (and small explanations to some of my little doodles) under the read more

I finally got a doorknob that locks. Which I've been literally hoping to get for a really long time... I have a really fractured relationship with my sibling and I'm relieved I can finally leave my belongings in my room without fear that it'll get stolen the moment I'm out of the house. My girlfriend is finally home for the summer, he leaves late August (if I remember correctly) and him and I are very close to finishing college (we have about 2 years left). I'm just so glad he's finally home again, I really missed him!!!

The first 2 and the 4th doodle is from a drafted mini moomin comic I wrote up, I don't think I'll ever let it see the light of day but hopefully the little bits I post are fun! Sniff and Snufkin are the center of it, because it would be hilarious to see them have to work together in a serious situation lollll

Post-it note snufkin is a decoration for my mom's office, I sat in her office for my spring semester after classes (she works at a hospital 30 minutes away) so I drew a lottt of moomin post-its (I have a snufmin one too but I didn't take a picture)

I'm in some weird creative rut again, and emotionally I'm having some strange swings, so I'm just going with the flow for now. Posting will still be sporadic likely, but I'll try to keep up! Tumblr is the only social media app I've been posting on lately, it's just a lot less stressful/toxic on here than it is on Twitter or Instagram. Thank you for reading if you did, means a lot to me 🩵^^

[lupucs]

I have a few questions! Mind answering? 1. What/who is your persona and what is their name? 2. What animating software do you use? 3. What software do you use to edit? 4. How long Have you been doing this 5. Are you open for 3d commissions ?? 6. whats your most famous video 7. Whats the least famous video? 8. Favortie video you have made? 9. Favortie model you have made? 10. Least favortie model + video you have made?

My youtube avatar? They're just a scruffy little goblin, their name is Lu (short version of "Lupucs"). They are supposed to be a loose representation of myself for stuff like 3D timelapses. As for my profile pic, that's just an oc. Her name is Ruby and she's a scarecrow who can wield magic and turn into a giant crow

Blender

Blender for animation editing, adobe premiere for timelapse editing

I've been doing 3D for about 6 years on and off, though ive only started doing it more regularly roughly 4 yrs ago

sadly not since i have a full-time job, but I really appreciate the interest!! It wouldnt feel right accepting commissions without the reassurance of being able to set aside enough time to commit myself to them, not to mention balancing my hobby of making animations and 3D models. i'll definitely post an announcement on here if I reopen them again!! it's definitely not out of the question.

it's the susie noelle lunch break one!! back then i didnt even wanna upload this to youtube but my friend convinced me to do it anyway and... it sorta exploded. never expected so many people to love these two goobers so much. I'm still both shooketh and a little scared but also extremely grateful!!

probably those few old oc animations i made years ago. like this one, it's my icon but it's animated! :P this is so old lol

ooh that's tricky! there are a few that come to mind, but i think Hometown Fall studies is my favorite. I like how the cozy vibe turned out and it was so much fun animating these characters playing off of each other in a mundane scenario like that. Im also really happy with how my Alphys and Undyne anim turned out. It took about 5 months (on and off) to make

i'd say susie and papyrus. oh and alphys too!! none ut/dr models would be king from TOH, and this fanart of my friend sphinxmothra's ocs

I guess that would be my Little My Moomins model from a while ago... i kinda wanna remake it one day as i really dont like how the shaded gradients look. Oh and this old oc. As for least favorite video, it's this animation. It's so floaty lol!!!

[janetkwallace]

Ok, so I'll share two unpopular opinions that I have in regards to the Moomin fandom in general, and more specifically, the 2019 animated series, Moominvalley.

One is that I really don't care about Snufmin. Yeah, you heard me right. No matter the place or adaptation, Snufkin and Moomintroll are always paired up with each other, and I don't care about their relationship. Heck, they're not even my favorite characters of the series, which will be my second point, but they're quite popular as a couple here or anywhere else. Although, it may be just me, but I'm a niche parasite. I'm very fond of side characters that are seen once and never again, the characters who do not even get referenced after they appear for a single frame. The Moomins have plenty of characters like this.

As for Snufmin, they're the opposite of their niche, which means I'm not concerned about the nature of their relationship. You can read the most recent posts on Tumblr to see what other people think of the lack of queer representation in Season 4, and here are my two cents: You guys, ladies, non-binaries and all the LGBT+ people deserve better than breadcrumbs, but a supper is rare when it comes to canonical queer relationships, so I understand how you feel when you're given nothing in return.

But this rant isn't about Snufmin, oh no. Because, you see, this is about one of my favorite Moomin characters... and it's not Sniff, but today, I'll talk about Mrs. Fillyjonk and one aspect of her character that was denied in Moominvalley: Her motherhood. Mrs. Fillyjonk doesn't have children in this adaptation. They are their nieces, they even wear different clothing as if to say "hey look at us! We are related to Mrs. Fillyjonk but we are not her kids! You thought we would be, but no!", which... I don't like this change. It feels like it was done to justify why Mrs. Fillyjonk was on her own, but by doing so, they took away one part of her character that made her such an interesting figure.

In the comics, Mrs. Fillyjonk is established as a juxtaposition of the Moomin's. She is a no-nonsense ferret lady whose children all wear the same clothing and spend most of their time on study. Meanwhile, Moomin and his friends have their own identities and are playing around the valley, and Mrs. Fillyjonk is so devoted to showing others how a life led by duty is discipline is better to the point it gets ridiculous, as in, if your way of life is so much better than the Moomin's, then why do you feel the need to impress them all the time? Are you, or your children, happier than they are by living this way?

Someone probably wrote an in-depth rant about Mrs. Fillyjonk's character and how she is a joke trying to be taken seriously, but hey, I like her. As for her children, they don't have their own characters, they're just mini-Fillyjonks who sometimes get to talk and they exist to show that Mrs. Fillyjonk, despite her strict behavior, cares for someone that isn’t just herself. One of my favorite moments of the 1990 anime is Mrs. Fillyjonk worried about where her children might be and they're just fine. 

That motherhood is gone from the 2019 adaptation, and now they're their nieces. And they barely interact with each other. I guess the nieces appear for, like, two episodes, and that's it? Sure, you still have the dutiful, organized, anxious, methodical Mrs. Fillyjonk, but to take away her children took away a piece of her character that I could relate to.

Heck, she isn’t even concerned about her nieces and their well-being during the Comet finale. They are simply gone, like Emma, like Ninny, like… Oh yeah, isn’t it odd that Ninny only appeared for one episode and then never again? She doesn’t even get to be casually mentioned like Snufkin borrowing a sun oil from a certain Fire Spirit… I could write about that moment as well, but I’ll leave it for later, there's been too much disappointment already.

[proxiimitysky]

I've been heavily considering moving my account and starting over. This post will be very long so if you don't wanna read it that's fine (I'll add a tldr at the end)

I started this blog back when i loved sky and just wanted a specific place to talk about it. It took me YEARS to slowly realize that i don't have the same love for it like i used to. Ever since season of moomin was announced i thought of it as an opportunity to just take a break and only play the game if i genuinely want to, and not just for the purpose of getting candles. I wasn't really that excited for the season to begin with probably because i dont know anything about moomin and i know i can just learn about it through the season but ehh idk man. Just my personal opinion i already thought the first quest was super slow and tedious as hell

Also not to mention some big criticism within the community is how expensive things are in sky and i agree. I think they're right when they say iaps are getting more and more expensive (inflation amiright) and they keep locking the cooler items behind the pass. I know the pass (for 1 person) is generally pretty cheap for what you're getting but i just don't think it's fair for people who simply don't want to spend money. Majority of the good stuff this season is behind the pass and i know the purpose of this is to convince players to buy the pass but it's just. Man i would love to enjoy a season and buy cool clothes without having to pay real money for it AGAIN

And before you say "sky is a social game. No one is forcing to buy anything stop complaining", i know no one is forcing me to buy things, but it sure feels like it. I've already made an ENTIRE other blog about this complaint and you can probably go look for it but can you think of anything in sky that's fun without spending money? That doesn't include talking with friends (which BY THE WAY still costs money just to unlock chat if you didn't friend them with a qr like? Why tf do you need to SPEND MONEY just to talk to someone???) almost everything in the game needs money to be enjoyed. You can enjoy the story sure, but you can't express yourself in a way that doesn't require buying SOMETHING

Also why does sky have so many bugs all the time. There is not a single update where something wasn't fucked up in the making. I know sky isn't perfect and I'm nowhere near a game development professional but how do you even do that

Anyways.. i just want a tumblr blog to start over completely and gain an audience that isn't so restricted to one interest. I like art, and that's way more broad than just sky art only because i VERY VERY VERRYYY rarely draw sky art. I for some reason don't find it super enjoyable to draw skykids (unless I'm getting paid for it which is why the majority of my sky art are commissions lmao)

Just judging by the attention my blogs and art received on here, i assumed the algorithm was a lot better than other apps. I felt like maybe doing an oc blog too would be beneficial since its something i actually enjoy and WANT to talk about instead of just. Occasionally mentioning sky just to complain about it lmaoo

If you made it this far thanks for reading!! Also if you're here for the tldr: i don't love sky as much as i used to. This blog is very restricting and i wanna start over with an art acc in general

Btw i may still blog about sky on my new blog (if i do make it) but i would more likely just blog about games i like in general when i feel like it. Only talking about sky is just... Ehhhh..

[peapodsinspace]

Moomin x JJBA AU - Intro post!

Hello!!!! I figured I should make a post about this, and probably some other aus too eventually…

(I’m gonna go ahead and put this under a cut cus it’ll be long, but even if you don’t care about the au I promise it’s not just words!!! I put silly drawings too!!!)

Alright! So this is an au where characters from jjba are like moomin characters! To clarify, they are still in their normal universe, with stands! (I may also do some spin offs in a no stands/ actually in moomin valley version of this au too!)

I’m calling this the “JOJOxter au” because all of the jojos are joxters :]

I’ll start with a list of each species + a brief explanation of traits / details!

(Note that I have made moomins / snorks roughly the same thing in this which is why there isn’t a section for moomins)

Joxters

Joxters are very cat like, in appearance and behavior. They tend to be very adventurous, though sometimes lazy by nature (though this is the general rule, there is of course exceptions to this!).

Physical traits can include: cat-like eyes (yellow sclera and cat pupils), retractable claws, sharp canine teeth, markings on the nose bridge, cat-like ears and tails, fur on various places of the body (hands, forearms, chest, legs, etc), and whiskers.

Mymbles

Mymbles are the most humanoid of the bunch. They can be anywhere from extremely short (like little my (from moomins) or diego (in my au), to extremely tall (like mymble mama or mista). Mymbles often have a love of chaos and general shenanigans. They are also known for having strong familial bonds. Mymbles are able to hibernate, and do so occasionally.

Physical traits can include: small horns with rounded ends, skinny tails, and sharp teeth.

Snufkins

Snufkin are a mix between Mymbles and joxters. They can show traits more similar to one or the other, be a perfect mix of the two, or even change from one to the other. As such a lot of their characteristics depend on the individual!

Physical traits can include: cat-like eyes (usually without the yellow sclera), tails, sharp teeth, pointy or claw-like nails, fur on various parts of the body, and whiskers.

Muddles

Muddles are generally known for being very emotional, or feeling one (or more) emotions very strongly. Usually anxiety or fear (moomin example is the muddler), but it can be any emotion(s). They often like to collect things, and get attached to or find comfort in their collection.

Physical traits can include: long floppy ears (like a rabbit’s), whiskers, long tails, fur on the legs, and large eyes.

Snorks

Snorks are very round looking creatures, known for being very soft! They are able to change the color of their fur based on their emotions. Snorks are known for being friendly or accommodating, but this is more due to general snork philosophy rather than a trait! They often have many hobbies, and are known to be very big on hibernating the winters away, though they don’t have to.

Physical traits can include: pointy ears, long tails with tufts of fur on the end, paw pads, and round faces

Here is a doodle page I did to decide how I want to draw each species:

[Image ID in alt text]

I just realized how long this is… yikes

Anyways! That’s basically the meat of it, so next is mostly just doodles!!!

Here’s bruno and jotaro! (Bruno is a snufkin and jotaro is a joxter)

[image ID in alt text]

Here’s drawings of diego and silver bullet I did:

[ID in alt text]

For context, this is how horses are drawn in the moomins (or at least *a* horse) and I thought it would be funny to draw them like that too!

So diego rides a normal sized horse in this, since having a small one would put him at a severe disadvantage in the race!

Here’s some miscellaneous drawings! (For reference fugo is a muddle, narancia and mista are mymbles, jolyne is a joxter, and FF is a snork!)

[Image ID in alt text]

In this au instead of FF being plankton, they’re a bunch of hattifatteners!

Alrighty!!! That’s all! I hope you enjoyed, even if you just skimmed everything :]

Please reblog, comment, or send me asks about this au if you have any questions!!!

Five: the one you've been waiting for, about Moomintroll!!

It is so much fun to go on a rescue mission to find Moomintroll. The bittersweet beginning, with Moomintroll sad as Snufkin leaves for the winter, and Snufkin's dread when he returns in spring to havoc and no Moomintroll... mwah. Love it

Goodness Snufkin chill out would ya

Snufkin might love you, Moomin, but that doesn't mean pics of your body gone splat in the mud isn't absolutely getting posted on his Instagram

So in this game Moomintroll is pretty angelic. He doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone. It's nitpicking of me, but yeah, that take isn't for me. I like my hospitable, awkward, endlessly tolerant Moomins with a pinch of spice. Actually it's rather funny because so much of the game characterization seems to pick off the cartoon, but Snufkin and Moomintroll themselves are just so nicey-nice...? At least we spend enough time with Snufkin to hear him take a few digs at the other colorful characters lol.

I MISSED TAKING A CAP OF SNUFKIN FALLING ON HIS ASS that would have been perfect revenge too ugghh

BUT THE PIGGYBAAAACK

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

[fizz.exe has stopped working]

Can't get over how cuuuute this is. If the whole game sucked, it would still have been worth it just for this ending haha. Btw I will definitely have a piggyback in a fic some day and this is the inspiration xP

I love how Snufkin's flower-covered hat blends right in with the flower bed when they're hiding teehee

So theme again. When Snufkin hurts his foot, he encourages Moomintroll to go on without him. But Moomintroll says no, we'll go together, hence piggyback. This is my favorite way the theme comes out, and not just because it's cute, but because it involves Moomintroll overtly offering to help and then really helping. Not needing to be coaxed and indulged or endured first. Yes, in the real world there are all types and we all need to get along. But Snufkin accepts nearly all help, talks to everyone kindly (much more kindly than they are to him!), and isn't even wrong when he tells Moomintroll to go on without him - neither does he make a fuss about going together anyway.

So what growth is he supposed to have here? He doesn't decide to not leave in winter anymore (and I certainly wouldn't want him to). The story is like "Snufkin learned something" and it's... that he should keep being friends with the people he's already friends with? Even though he never said he planned on doing otherwise...? Or are we just punishing him for daring to go on loner adventures period? Maybe a cut scene showing him running away from the Fillyjonk or avoiding parties or something would have helped frame things better, but as it is - I fully understand what the story wants to say, I just don't believe it actually says it.

Take this scene. In essence, I don't have a problem with it. But, since when does Snufkin kick people out of Moominvalley? More likely he's the one skedaddling... "But it's the Park Keeper!" So? In Moominsummer Madness he destroys the park but the Park Keeper still is the one with authority, so it's Snufkin who tries to leave. That's minor, though, what bugs me more is this "Moomins tolerate everyone!" bit. Of course it's not bad...! But Moomins definitely do not tolerate everyone and go to lengths to drive certain types away... Including potential romantic threats haha. This isn't a complaint, the game just goes in a different direction than what I prefer when it comes to Moomins. But Moomintroll is a little over the top, that's all I'm saying...

"He just dammed the river without asking and imprisoned all the animals and caused a forest fire... But I'm sure deep down he's a nice guy"

psst fizz it's a game for kids...!

yeah i know it's my blog and I'll bitch if I want to bitch if I want to bitch if I want to

I digress. The point is how cute these two obviously are. Gaaah. The piggyback 💕💕💕 Also Snufkin's little (>m<) face!

what is that person in that post about porn even trying to say help 😭 13k notes ...

help I saw that on my dash like several times already enough is enough.. I think it might be partly a response to when someone called people who read those trashy tiktok romance novels "porn addicts" and then someone responded to that saying written erotica isn't the same as porn and going "porn addict" to someone for reading trashy romance novels is just odd. which like to be fair it literally isn't the same 😭 awful novels yeah and embarrassing too but it's not like porn doesn't cause real harm in the real world.. and this is a response to a different post I saw now that reminded me of this, but I think it's not smart to be like "well men in the 1800s didn't respect women either" Erm okay.. just because things aren't worse overall doesn't mean certain aspects haven't worsened or that new aspects of misogyny haven't risen from it like sure men were still misogynists before porn that doesn't mean there's no harm just because you believe the net difference isn't negative 😑 which I'm not saying that post was saying, just something I saw recently that its implications kind of reminded me of since overall on tumblr I've been seeing a lot of posts about porn that just kind of annoy me a bit because I think it usually just is missing some of tbe point.. and I don't say this to comment on the porn habits of the people who post these btw everyone on tumblr is like gay or something so whatever that's not what I'm caring about here but like yeah..

"nasty perverted sicko misogynist fetish porn made by and for disgusting sicknasty pervert men" "cute and wholesome and feminist and queer liberated erotica feminist lesbian moomins porn" <- saying these words to make a sarcastic point is just kind of like well okay help sorruy like what do you mean by that 😭 like I get it I just think it doesn't make sense and kind of brushing off real arguments about porn to act like it's an exaggeration to talk about misogyny when discussing porn and like there's not any differences at all between porn websites and trashy romance novels for women.. the state of porn today and the way men consume it and how it affects their interactions with and views on real women (especially important to me to consider the way it always reinforces white men's racist domination fantasies) is just like something I still care about I get white straight women who read about their domestic abuse fantasies are annoying and sick in the head and aren't real book lovers but criticism about porn isn't about how "weird" women think it is it's a lot more important than that.. 😑
