This character came to me in a dream! He was in black and white cartoons where he was a dumb guy with a smart cat counterpart (whose design I don’t remember). In the dream he was one of my favorite characters of all time. I don’t remember his name because he seemed to have multiple names across his cartoons. But in my waking hours, I have decided to call him Muddle!
Watched the third Adventures of Moominpappa episode today. The implications of Fuddler (Who has the same VA as Sniff and a similar personality) marrying Muddle, (A character we have never seen before who looks just like Sniff) are staggering. From Flood in Moominland I took Sniff as an unconnected orphan that the Moomin family just kind of adopted when Moomin was little.
What happened to you, Sniff? Was there some terrible tragedy? Or were you just not wanted? At least The Moomins love him.
I realized that the world did not exist for my benefit. It followed that the ratio of pleasant and unpleasant things around me would not change. It wasn’t up to me. It was clear that the best thing to do was to adopt a sort of muddled cheerfulness.

But now the dream-like unfolding of destined action seemed to have come to an end, the magic was switched off, and he was returned to the clumsy perilous muddle of ordinary life.
My friends in Muddle asked me to take pictures of their set. I did it on the condition that I could take selfies with them during the nastiest breakdown they’ve ever played. Here’s the result of that beautiful chaos
We love to see it!
I took these of the show, too. This was when Beck from Bullheather and the Bloodflowers hopped onstage to sing with them!
The clowns (veyece, muddle) and the seadweller (opocht) belong to me. I don't really associate with canon too much anymore, but find it kinda funny I accidentally ended up pairing a candy-red mutant with a purple blood and theres a height difference like gamkar who?
To be completely honest I still prefer the original manga Farcille reunion over the anime scene. I think Trigger did a good job adapting this page, but no one draws Marcille bawling her eyes out as well as Ryoko Kui, it just gets to me. Just look at her face... She missed Falin so much! She almost looks like a child crying..
I knew this week was going to be crazy busy. Some weeks are like that. Thank you, God, for helping me muddle through, or even do better than muddle. Amen.
