Since when was Snufkin gay? He's an older brother figure for Moomintroll. Of course moomin loves him, he's the older brother he's never had.

[@DrawpinionDump]

@@HrHaakon It's just different interpretations of the same character! Many people see gay elements in the way Snufkin is written thanks to how Tove drew inspiration from her own experiences and feelings as a gay individual. Still, no matter how you see it, Moomintroll and Snufkin care a lot about each other!

[@HrHaakon]

​@@DrawpinionDump But they're children. Moomintroll isn't old enough to harbour romantic feelings for anyone. It's sexualizing (written, not real) children. It's weird. And that there's a whole lot of people sexualizing moomintroll doesn't make it less weird.

[@lilaccherri7584]

@@HrHaakon they uh aren't children, maybe read the books.

[@severre]

I grew up with the 90’s version and the books. (As a Finn, it’s a lifestyle). If I remember correctly, Tove wrote the books after the Winter War, to bring joy and comfort. I love how the series is really warm, as in not every episode has to be a crisis about something. It helped me deal with depression later on in life.

[@DrawpinionDump]

Yes, the warmth of it all is a big deal for me. These characters make me feel so cozy!

You forgot to mention the point that Snufkin doesn't send away the Dragon because he wants it to be free, but because he doesn't want Moomin to be upset. He also really likes the dragon, but Moomin would be jealous.

[@Frozen_Death_Knight]

2:50 Hello, Swede and half-Finnish here! The age of Moomin has technically not been aged up. To give some more context since you brought up the Finnish dub briefly, the Swedish and Finnish dubs of the 90s adaptation had Moomin with an older sounding voice actor like the 2019 adaptation. In fact, both languages are dubbed by the same voice cast in the 90s version since Finnish and Swedish are both spoken in Finland. The English dub of the 90s show took more inspiration from the original Japanese version where Moomin also had a childlike voice. However, since the books are from Finland and the author first published them in Swedish since she was from the Swedish speaking part of the country (she was also the one who greenlit the Japanese 90s adapation to get made), these dubs are the most authentic to the original source material. Also, Moomin was very clearly more of a teenager in the Swedish and Finnish adaptations. His relationship with Snorkmaiden was overall flirtatious and not very kiddish in nature, which might have been lost in translation in the English version. Their relationship was pretty close to being in the young adult stage with them nearly being ready to settle yet still being too young to leave their family homes yet.

[@DrawpinionDump]

That is so cool!!! Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! :D

[@gaeridallmariegrey5888]

Russian Snufkin looked like he was conceived through the unholy union between Donald Duck and the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz.

[@creepercommande4171]

[@giantsandwich]

Great video! That's a good observation that Moomin didn't put in motion any of his adventures up to the last ep, even in the dream sequence it was Snorkmaiden who goaded him into jumping now that i think about it! I also hadn't thought of the Groke as a metaphor for Moomin's relationship with Snufkin and now I'm sad ahahaha

[@DrawpinionDump]

The Groke was actually partially inspired by Tove's fear of being judged over her relationship with her partner Tuulikki, so I loved the way they handled the character in that episode! I'd also love to talk more about Snufkin in a future video, as I also think he has some development coming his way too! I'm glad you liked the video

If you see them as just friends that's fine, but don't come after me for my interpretation of their relationship. :)

[@chihuahuarocks9664]

*Drum rolls* Unrequited love!!! Okay, okay in all seriousness though I love that you pointed out this relationship dynamic between Moomintroll and Snufkin! I'm not sure how aware you are about the symbolism Tove put on Snufkin and Moomintroll, with Snufkin representing her old love (he, just like Snufkin, would travel and leave a lot) and Moomintroll representing herself. It's obviously not a happy ending (between herself and her old love), and although things seem to point towards unrequited feelings, at least from Snufkin, I want to pose another possible path. Perhaps Snufkin doesn't just find the admiration Moomintroll has for him suffocating, but rather he's afraid of his own feelings keeping him trapped in the valley, which obviously goes against his free-spirited nature. His nightmare in Spring Tune shows us that more than anything he's afraid of Moomintroll giving up on him/ moving on. I like to think that scene when Snufkin and Moomintroll see each other again and Snufkin doesn't go for a hug like Moomintroll, is more about him wanting to deny his feelings by trying to keep some distance. Another point I want to bring up that sort of ties into this, is that scene where Moomintroll and Snufkin are looking at the pond where Moomintroll's boat is still turning counterclockwise (and there's that whole metaphor about things 'changing') Snufkin does something entirely unexpected-- he takes Moomintroll's boat and keeps it. On top of the idea of change being inevitable, I think that also hints at things changing for Snufkin. He isn't materialistic in any way, and yet he consistently makes exceptions when it comes to Moomintroll, opening himself up and showing parts of himself that he doesn't with others. I think Snufkin keeping the boat is his way of always keeping a part of Moomintroll with him. Anyways, but I definitely agree with Moomintroll having to learn to let Snufkin go, but I wonder if maybe the show is going to continue to pull our expectations right from under us and surprise us with something entirely unexpected? Who knows, maybe Moomintroll has to learn it's okay to let people go but never giving up on them? Like, loving someone no matter where they are or where they go? Idk, I'm not an analyst. 😅

[@DrawpinionDump]

That boat scene has been on my mind ever since I made the videos! Not only does Snufkin take the boat, in the next episode (golden tail) he is seen holding it while the play is rehearsed, but then you never see the boat again. I wonder if it'll make a surprise appearance on season 2? Who knows!

[@chihuahuarocks9664]

@@DrawpinionDump I hope it's addressed later on! It's a pretty notable moment and it would be so odd to never see it brought up again!

Shut the front door!!! Moomin IS the dragon. *insert mind blown gif* OMG and it took me nearly 30 years to realise it. Thanks, I guess. :)

[@katsukibakugou8634]

We don't talk about the *C* *U* *R* *S* *E* *D* *O* *N* *E* *The ending* This shit hurts

[@beachballssideaccount]

Moomintroll probably feels like his love is one-sided but fellas we all know Snufkin totally has it bad for him, just sayin'.

[@wandanemer2630]

True!

[@eitakou]

Without even knowing the series of Moomin I already really like Snufkin because of the video "Snufkins way to leave conversations guide"

[@seraph.3707]

the cursed one is soviet adaptation of finn family moomintroll, “shlyapa volshebnika”. as a russian, i watched it when i was little. gotta say im still fucking afraid of it ngl

[@HautaAntero]

Fun Fact!! Sniff is actually voice by Warwick Davis, you know, main character from the Willow, that one Ewok character from Return Of The Jedi, and Griphook from Harry Potter.

[@DrawpinionDump]

You're right, this fact was fun!

[@eliottia]

i still wait for season3

[@eyesack6845]

I thought I was the only one to fall down the rabbit hole...

[@lostmyh6732]

Season 2 (at least part of it) is out and I need to know your opinion on Moomin’s development, I think we’re heading to a crisis moment between Moomin and Snufkin but I’d love to know how you feel/think! Great video analysis by the way

[@DrawpinionDump]

I've been traveling for the past week and I am *dying* to watch s2, hopefully great things will come of it!

[@MordredPendragon7997]

A few days ago I decided on a whim to watch all of your videos that I haven't watched yet, and because of all of your Moomin videos I decided to watch Moominvalley.

[@someonessidechannel1485]

This was really well thought-out... I'm so glad there's other people making metas for stuff because I'd learn nothing

[@someonessidechannel1485]

I wanna see meta on Snufkin! Especially because of how they've touched on his fears and wants in this series, and how they used Ready Now to refer to him (and Ninny, a little bit). Also maybe because I've fallen in love with him a little bit, not to be dramatic or anything but I wanna watch the stars with him or something he's just... like that, y'know?

[@APerfectMetaphor87]

I’ve never heard of this until today. You just created a fan. Thank you :)

[@DrawpinionDump]

I'm honored!

[@anrilikespizza]

Wow this is great. I also fell down the moomin internet hole. Moomins are so cute

[@alliumrose6862]

DRAW: "and Snufkin, Moomintroll's best friend." ME: "Yeah, who he is very gay for"

[@katicatlove5296]

And thanks to this and with the info I have The author herself has been in this kind of relationship before. And its all reflected by moomin.... Now that I see this, I truly understand the authors way of written and now I wanna *c r y*

[@squitterhyena652]

I was told I must leave a comment about how much I am in love with the Moomin series ever since I was smol nugget.

[@DrawpinionDump]

I am glad u had the chance to be a smog nugget raised on moomins!

[@squitterhyena652]

@@DrawpinionDump And to this day I am amazed that the US has not had their Moomin mania or Moomin Boom event. This is the most busy I have ever seen the fandom honestly. Disney tried to buy out the Moomins at some point in the 80's if I remember. Looking at Star Wars and the Aliens franchise right now I am so glad the descendants are taking care of it... yikes on trikes.

[@DrawpinionDump]

@@squitterhyena652 Bruh. I grew up in Brazil. There's not even a moomins dub here... It is my job to educate my country now

[@squitterhyena652]

@@DrawpinionDump And what an fantastic weight to carry on your shoulders! Maybe drum up a team to dub it, would take considerable effort but I have seen people pull off incredible dubs with very limited resources.

[@pentagrin4157]

I lost my best friend of six years due to an extreme argument. Since we had gotten into everything together, it was hard to not be reminded of her because everything I had once enjoyed was tainted. That's when I discovered the moomins, and got involved. I watched the 90s version first before moving on to Moominvalley, and that episode ...it really hurt.

[@Octobris]

It's been decades and Lady of the cold episode, where Little My gets frozen, still haunts me (in a good way).

[@A_JinglyRabbit]

Can someone PLEASE tell me WHERE I can watch this without getting lucky on television

[@katiem656]

I grew up watching the 80s version and when I visited my friend in Finland a while ago and told him this, he was outraged, he immediately got out his dvd for the 90s version and oh my gosh, I couldn’t understand a word they were saying (being only in Finnish and Swedish), but it was still so cute and funny and just feckin *pure*
