Afaik Tove Janson confirmed that she introduced her bc she wanted Snufkin to be in a story that was set in winter

[@theyakkoman]

@@juliamavroidi8601 Well, I hope I don't come of as the "well actually" guy, but... Too-ticki is based on Toves lover and partner Tuulikki Pietilä, who was the one who gave Tove the idea to "Moominland Midwinter" in the first place, and was never meant as a substitute for Snufkin. As for the similarities between Too-ticky and Snufkin however, it seems to be due to the fact that Tove had a "type". Since Snufkin was based on her one time fiancee Atos Wirtanen, while Tuulikki, like I mentioned, was her partner from the late 50's until Toves death.

[@montgomery2168]

Both of them were based on loves in Tove Janssons life

I really like the heavy Scottish accent they gave her in the 2019 show, if anything it confirms my status as a lesbian and Too-ticky simp even more

[@Schwarzorn]

Too bad she isn't Scottish anymore in the third series... :/

[@spekticat]

Well, she is based on Tova Jansson's life partner who lived their best lesbian life together on an island (also Moomintroll was Jansson's author insert so interpret that how you will)

[@GandyDaGei]

*We have a best girl on our hands, folks* Also im legit in love with her soft voice. I could listen to it all day. Its like if Where's Waldo was a soft lesbian

[@a_gay_homosexual_funeral]

“It’s like if where’s Waldo was a soft lesbian” is the most perfect description I have ever heard in my entire life. Keep up the great work, Gandalf The Gay. May the odds be ever in your favor.

[@ladyofrillwater]

Fun fact: the creator of Moomin Valley ultimately came out as a lesbian, or stated that she'd "gone over to the spook side", which is one of those code terms for being gay akin to "confirmed bachelor". Too Ticky is believed to be inspired by her life partner, Tuulikki Pietilä.

[@saagabragi6938]

@@ladyofrillwater I thought she was bi, almost had something with Atos Wirtanen until Wirtanen's aloofness sank it (quite like Snufkin will never stay with Moomintroll or take him with him).

[@danielmalinen6337]

Too-Ticky is a character that based on Tove Jansson's final true love, graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilään. They lived together for a long time and built a cabin on the island of Klovharu as their escape from the popularity of the Moomins and to take a break from the public.

[@noahboucher125]

Moomin not knowing what sarcasm is hits me pretty hard. I'm autistic and when I was a kid it was hard to tell when people were being sarcastic. As an adult I understand it, but I avoid it because it seems mean by nature.

[@amadeosendiulo2137]

Relatable, I have Asperger syndrom, it was not only sarcasm but like... lots of sentences that you don't take literally, or I really didn't like some things in the Polish grammar (well, I still don't like some of them).

[@MaryArts]

I just tell people I don't get sarcasm and either they deal with it or can't. Well most of the time they laugh and say I am so innocent. I am 24. And I am far from innocent. So annoying.

[@j-man3267]

@@amadeosendiulo2137 Hey, not trying to be rude here but Asperger’s hasn’t been a medical diagnosis since 2013. It was used by a Nazi (Hans Asperger) to determine which autistic people were “worthy” of living and would torture and experiment on the rest. You’re free too identify as you wish of course, but in short anyone who was given the diagnosis of “Asperger’s” is just autistic.

[@forest_green]

It's so funny because I'm sitting here with my Autistic kid and when Moomin asked what sarcasm is, so did my kid. I've explained sarcasm is to her many, many times, but this time Too-Ticky's explanation was better than mine 💚

[@mymblejrjr2775]

i have a headcanon that Too-Ticky and Snufkin used to play together when they were kiddos. Snufkin used to get overwhelmed and he’d need to take a break to calm down and be alone, and Too-Ticky would wait patiently for him to come back and play again. They could play for hours and hours, all sorts of different games :)

[@_danthefan]

Moominland Midwinter is such a great book, Too-Ticky’s frank philosophy is highly contagious and the 90’s soundtrack is just chalk full of melancholy songs to accompany it! 🙂

[@dehistoriapisciumfish7639]

Moominland Midwinter is my favorite moomin book!

[@rinyaskyline]

I like to imagine that at some point in the fall, Snuffkin and Too Ticky just hang out. They just have similar vibes.

[@GizaDee]

Too-Ticky is so underrated imo. Love this compilation. Only complaint is I would've loved some clips of her from New Moomin (70's anime). She's got a whole different personality there and is really cool when she's not being arrogant lol. She's a philosopher and a poet. She even has a brief stint where she goes around breaking everything and doing crimes because she becomes convinced that life is pointless and Snufkin of all people has to talk her out of it.

The creator of the moomins, Tove Jansson, named Too-Ticky (Tuutikki) after her girlfriend Tuulikki Pietilä.

[@saagabragi6938]

Also Snufkin was inspired by Tove's earlier lover of many years, Atos Wirtanen. It was her most serious het relationship, but it went to the rocks because of Wirtanen's aloofness. It feels like with Snufkin being Wirtanen, Moomintroll is Tove. Take that as you will.

[@saagabragi6938]

Also also, Thingumy and Bob are both women and their original swedish names, Tofslan and Wifslan, are from aliases Tove and theater director Vivica Bandler used in letters to each other during their short fling in 1947. Their suitcase's secret content is propably a metaphor.
