“Suddenly Moomintroll lifted his nose and listened! Far away Snufkin was playing his gayest song: ‘All small beasts should have bows in their tails.’ And Moomintroll began to run towards the music."

Down by the river he came upon Snufkin who was sitting on the bridge with his legs dangling over the water, his old hat pulled down over his ears.

Hello,’ said Moomintroll sitting down beside him. ‘Hello to you,’ said Snufkin, and went on playing. The sun was up now and shone straight into their eyes, making them blink. They sat swinging their legs over the running water, feeling happy and carefree.”

- Finn Family Moomintroll, 1948

A lineup of all the "The Fillyjonk"s throughout the books (plus Mrs. Fillyjonk herself from the comics)

For the love of Booble stop mixing them up and thinking they're the same character it drives me insane.

#moomins #moominvalley #art #fillyjonk #mrs fillyjonk #the fillyjonk #the fillyjonk who believed in disasters #november fillyjonk #emma's niece #moomin books #moomin comics #character ref sheet #I'm honestly very proud of how I managed to make a generally very homogeneous looking species unique from one another #the general rule of thumb I found when coloring is that Fillyjonk fur is colored like wood while the hair ranged red-orange-blonde #like sticks set on fire (which is a metaphor I will absolutely use alot) #we don't get alotta male fillyjonks esp in the book but I think they tend to be shorter with more prominent whiskers #and I hc that their hair ranges from black-brown-grey #so Fillyjonks are actually one of the more dimorphic species in Moominland which plays into their whole gender role thing #and I WILL be playing around with that hopefully soon

I still can't believe that I'm actually attending a UNIVERSITY COURSE DEDICATED TO ANALYSING MOOMIN BOOKS.

#like. this is something from my wildest dreams #it's a new course at my uni and when they annouced electives for the semester 4 different people sent me a link to this one shshdfdh #they know my brand #i've already had 3 classes and. it's truly amazing. we're basically discussing every book one by one #in groups and then on the forum (there's over 30 people in the group) #moomin #moomintroll #tove jansson #moomin books #moominvalley #snufkin #the moomins

it's father's day, here's a reminder of one of my favourite of-its-time passages with snufkin from moominsummer madness

#moomin #moomin books #snufkin #'50s children's books I love you. also iirc. and I'm not sure so someone's who's read the original is gonna have to jump in here #what he say says in swedish is ''do you want me to kill you'' #it's great how the entirety of snufkin's inclusion in this story is just screwing with his character and putting him out of his depth

[hemulenish-hijinks]

Mr. Hemulen

Originally from Comet in Moominland, then continuing his role in Finn Family Moomintroll (in fact, he's the only Hemulen to appear in more than one book from the main book series!), he was a grumpy and oblivious old man who only ever focused on his stamps, but after he finished his collection and took up plant collecting, his character softened. He was later fully adapted into the 90s series, becoming a very often reoccurring character who offers his knowledge on plants and other fields of science.

The Inspector

An unorthodox reoccurring Hemulen originating from the comics and becoming a reoccurring character in most animated adaptations, rather than being characterized by his job or even as being rude, he is a goofy and well-meaning police inspector who is more interested in the care of his roses than policing the already often peaceful Moominvalley. Gender non-conforming in interests and characterized as either oblivious or downright kind, he may be the only policeman you'd want to get arrested by (he even cooks food for his prisoners!)

He is also one of the few major hemulens who has an on-screen romance with another character (the Mymble's daughter in the 90s series), though his queercoding and lack of interaction with her in the comics makes it very odd as an adaptation.
