reading the rest of the murderbot series and it’s hilarious how much of secunit’s personality is
“I don’t care,“ I said, caringly, as I started to care even more.

Tbh if you're willing to talk more ab moomin I'd love to hear 👀 BUT ALSO THIS IS ME BULLYING YOU INTO SHARING YOUR AMAZING IDEAS
nooooooo I don’t wanna be bullied this is a no place for hate campus noooooo 😭😭😭😭
LDJSSKDJSJAKSKS but seriously thank u exi!! Okay here’s my lil half-baked moomin au
BASICALLY everyone is just a species from the moomin series.... they’re not ninja, there’s no big bad evil, they just truly vibe as all Moominvalley creatures do..
Kai- joxter through and through. Everything fits so perfectly! Dubious feral cat man lays around wherever he pleases... instead of stealing signs and simply breaking the law, he burns the signs and commits petty arson... as a treat. Just 4 fun... he still raised nya tho cause parents in Moominvalley be like “we r out lol 🤪✌️”... maybe he was invisible at one point as a child... hmmmmm...
Nya- a mymble with joxter characteristics (tail.. nose.. funky eyes..) and those cool mymble snail antennae’s! She lives near the sea and perhaps is a bathhouse caretake... finding invisible children and bringing them back to health like she wished someone had done for her brother back when they were young.. hmm.. maybe spends a lot of time with mermaids.. conversing with them, telling grand tales... maybe enlists the mermaids to help bring the newly able-to-be-seen children to safer, warmer locations where they can live out their lives without fear that they will be unseen yet again! :)
Zane- okay since magic is very much a real thing in the moomin universe, I’m thinking that Zane was built as an automaton! And he was enchanted with magic from the lady of the cold! And that ice magic was used to bring him to life! He knows what it is like to be so cold, so he travels around in winter with a warm lantern with him always... offering sanctuary to all who need it.. even grokes! He is cold to the touch but he has a warm heart inside :)
Lloyd- I am thinking.... forgive me... Lloyd is a troll! A soft, warm fuzzy little blond ball with bright green eyes! Maybe he is part Snork so he can turn shades of green depending on his emotions? Perhaps they all come together to raise him... baby baby. He’s a little mischievous boy tho. Gets into trouble, plays pranks, steals candy and sweets. They always have to take turns keeping an eye on him. 🥺
Cole- okay so for Cole I am thinking just a regular troll, no color changing snork genes. BUT he is HUGE with long black fur! Takes after his mom, so he cannot dance like his father. He doesn’t want to be tied down and forced to dance! He wants to go to the far off mountains and live his life among the jagged peaks, climbing and running and doing whatever he pleases.
Jay- idk I’m just rlly feeling a muddler for him... it just fits.. he tinkers a lot a lot and collects a ton of things to make a sorts of contraptions. Maybe he tried to make a flying hang glider type thing like snork always does! He studies the weather and keeps charts of it all. Ed and Edna still adopt him but they are kindly old moomintrolls, not muddlers, so he kinda figured it out much earlier tho lol.
LDJSLDKSJLAKA THIS IS SO STUPID BUT IM PROBABLY GONNA MAKE ART FOR THIS BECAUSE..... I love.... 🥺🥺🥺

Ever amazing ever fabulous Ryker @hustleboness tagged me for my Top 10 Niche Interests. Going to have to whittle that down to jus 10 I guess!
Uncanny Valley. Dolls, mannequins, automatons/animatronics. Puppets. I love them all. I love even Reborn dolls and realistic sex dolls for the reason that I just find them so fascinating. Movement in the motionless. The amount of detail and craftsmanship and skill and love that goes into making them. Cant get enough! ADDITIONAL -Rankin Bass studios. Started off with the stop motion films. Guess this is a bonus one but ties in to no. 1.
Clowns. Clowns are funny, all they want to do is make people laugh, make them happy. Its such a pure form of entertainment and the culture surrounding professional clowns is amazing. I wanted to be a professional clown for a long time but I dont have the physical skill for it. I eat up clowncore like curcus peanuts.
Taxidermy. I guess this goes hand in hand with the Uncanny Valley- life in the lifeless. A creature that was once alive is given new energy with the skill and care of one person. Even rogue taxidermy fascinates me. The world of taxidermy has opened up so much since the advent of the internet and once closed trade secrets are open for all to learn from.
Cryptozoology. My ultra niche is probably the canidae- Beast of Gevaudan is my bread and butter to be honest. This leaks into Ufology but not to such a strong degree. Someday I want to go to the Bigfoot Convention in Kentucky, visit famous sites of Cryptid sightings, Roswell for the UFO convention. Places I can info dump and get new perspectives from.
Conspiracy theories. Miss me with that Illuminati reptoid shit an give me Princess Diana assassinations, government cover ups, I dodge the thinly veiled Anti-Semetic shit and dig for the real good ones.
Possums. I just love these funky lil dudes,m8
Extreme Survivalism. Even as a kid (I attribute a good hunk of this to "the Hatchet" and some childrens book about a kid making his own culture around a strange plant I cant recall the name to for this) I always wanted to do the whole "throw me out into the woods and see if I die". Im too chicken for it, but the thought of full self reliance and being separated from the world has fascinated me.
Americana Gothic. From Southwest desert bars seemingly abandoned by time to folkish beliefs of the hollers of Appalachia, this is an aesthetic I hold dear. No idea why.
Bonnebell Chapsticks (Lipsmackers). Still hands down the best flavors and I still hate that they frequently retire old flavors to repackage as Disney TsumTsum or some bullshit. Been collecting on and off since I was a wee lil kid and is still an addiction of mine.
90s Childhood Nostalgia/SFW Age Regression. Perhaps its because of some mental illness but I love collecting things I recall from childhood and getting use from them. Old Aladdin thermoses, backpacks of 90s Disney cartoons, Garfield school supplies, even things meant for very young children. Does this count as Age Regression? No idea, but it brings me great comfort to feel and use. Even things meant for children for myself and probably is a big reason I am afraid to gain weight because many of these things have small weight limits/sizes. This is the only thing I was hesitant to list given how toxic the community can be. Watch as I lose a ton of followers. But there you have it.
I have plenty more but these I feel fit more in the "weird niche" catagory than things like Horror or Musical Instruments or werewolves. We aint here to list the obvious.
I tag whoever wants to do it. Too scared to tag people bc of no 10 LOL
