Happy Moomin's Day 8/9

Happy late

[wizards1977]

Back in 2014 (TEN! Years ago!) I originally posted this Thingumy & Bob art and I thought it would be nice to commemorate it with a redraw. Moomin became really important in my life around then and Tove Jansson’s work remains one of my biggest inspirations! And I met some of my beloved mutuals thru Moomin ❤️💙

Admittedly I left the banners blank this time bc I couldn’t decide what I wanted to put lol

finn family moomintroll is a book abt the queer experience . LET ME COOK !!!!!!

moomin Coming Out the hat transformed and not being accepted as who he is after he came out [ of the hat ] . hes begging for ppl to see who he is , who hes always been before and only moominmamma accepting him as is . it’s the unconditional love that turns him back to who he is deep down , just a moomin .

moomin yearning for snufkin . That’s it . Literally that yearning turning to expectancy and knowing ur ‘ friend ‘ will come back , the trust they share in eachother is not Best friends behavior .

its been very well known that thingumy and bob are meant to be a representation of tove jansson and vivica bandler relationship , and how their red ruby are meant to be a metaphor for them hiding their love and only opening the case to those they trust . even the hobgoblin searching for it could be a metaphor for him wanting / searching for something to make him feel accepted or happy , but coming to the realization that it’s the people he meet that fills those wants he’s had for centuries .

if i dare even say , and this is a reach , the hat could be about how once you come out things can change severely , scary and good things can happen , it’s all just how people and urself continue on .

Old Moomins fanart I found while looking through my school notebooks– a compilation

(I say "old art" even though I have no new art to speak off since my motivation came from being bored in class)

i’M GONNA CRY WHY AM I JUST NOW FINDING THIS OUT

[randomhappenings]

I feel bad for English speaking Moomin fans because some of the names are SO BAD in English

Like What do you mean Tofslan and Vifslan are called “Thingumy and Bob”??!??? ALSO THE WAY THEY SPEAK IN ENGLISH? Its just not as goodddd

They’re some of my favourite Moomin characters and I had a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that they have terrible names in English

(Look at them <3, they’re so cute)
