I had a dream I could finally afford the Tove Jannson pride flag with a drawing of her and the Moomin characters on it that was available on Moomin Shop around Christmas that I couldn't afford the international shipping fees on 😭

#i don't think it's available anymore but even if it was i still couldn't afford the shipping 😭 #Tove Jannson #Moomin

I just discovered moomins a few days ago because YouTube suggested some clips, and it just feels so comfortable. It feels like coming home, even when I'd never seen anything related to it before

I think I'm losing some people who have become everything to me, and I don't know what to do that won't just hurt more. I think that's part of why this has resonated with me so much. There's just something so comforting and almost nostalgic about it that I think I really need right now. I hope it can help me through this, at least

#this also means i just learned about tove jannson #and im a bit sad #moomin #somewhat melancholy and heartfelt escapism is something i really need right now

A gentle word with a soft lilt, something of a purr

Quiet confessions, urgent, barely above a whisper

Memories converging

Sweetness on my tongue

Quick to melt away like cotton candy

Savor it while it lasts

hi i picked up a copy of finn family moomintroll from my library, and your little review (“a masterpiece”) is right on the cover. i was just wondering how you came to do a blurb for this book, and why this book out of all the moomin books?

The quote I gave was for the reprint of the original (and at that time forgotten) newspaper strips in 2006. The book was sent to me by Peggy Burns at Drawn and Quarterly, who knew I'd loved the original Moomin books as a kid and thought I might enjoy the newspaper strips that Tove Jannson had created. I wrote about the book on my blog. https://journal.neilgaiman.com/2006/11/surthanksgivingrealism.html

After I put up the blog, Peggy wrote to me and said

we really liked what you said about the strip "which is one of the

sweetest, strangest surrealist strips in history"  and are hoping that you may want to shape it into a blurb that we may use for Volume 2?  

So I wrote:

A lost treasure now rediscovered, one of the sweetest, strangest comics strips ever drawn or written. A surrealist masterpiece. Honest. —Neil Gaiman

snorkmaiden is wonderful - tove jannson

snorkmaiden has a wonderful white fur and a pretty fringe. she loves wonderful things like seashells, cakes and kitties. but sometimes even snorkmaiden wants to go wild and do something a little bit terrible or can have reasons to be angry

Where's that post with the interview mention of Tove Jannson saying she considered Joxter also being Little My's dad, but she didn't feel like she and Snufkin would be more than half siblings?

#a glimpse into anothet universe where she shrugged and said fuck it he has two kids #word bubbles

[iminthetunnels]

can’t believe we picked a book at the library that mentions tove jannson, who created moomin. i even thought “i wish they had moomin books here” what a crazy coincidence

[capybara739]

Lots of people (literally no one) has asked me where my art style comes from/is inspired by but I’m gonna dump it all here anyway 😁😁😁😁😁😁for my loving fans!!

Naoki Urasawa the king, his style makes me soooo normal. It’s just gorgeous idk, I love how he has such a range of character designs and faces and expressions yet his style remains consistent (😱😱) and very recognisable.

Mp100 - the most obvious contender. This show re arranged my brain chemistry so the least I can do is inject it into my work 🫡 I love that the character designs aren’t all prettied up but they look like regular ass people (for the most part). And when they don’t it’s for more satire purposes(like the aliens and tsubomi) It’s also just cute idk it scratches an itch in my brain. Mp100 permanently improved how I draw eyes cause before.. no we’re not gonna talk about before. I’ll give you one hint - danganronpa made me go thru a very dark time in terms of how I draw eyes.

Also ONE even if his art is criticised LOL. It’s super interesting to me, he comes up with the most random shit and I LIVE FOR RANDOM SHIT. I LOVE LOVE his manga covers like esp the mob snowman and cutting the tomatoes. I luv it🫡 it’s so charming

Moomin art is soo gorg. Tove Jannson my beloved. Her handling of light and shapes and stuff scratches my brain and I love stark, blocky colouring especially as of recent. Her shading and lining is super dramatic. I remember when I was little and I read the comet in moominland book where a character who’s name I can’t remember started eating the moomin house and it used to scare the living daylights out of me LMAO. That’s a core memory honestly. Anyways I luv moomin. I LOVE!

I also went thru a brief period of trying to draw like Inio Asano who wrote goodnight punpun (idk any of his other titles lolz) but it wasn’t rly working but I just want to show his art bc it’s BEAUTIFUL. I aspire to be that talented at backgrounds too cause I’m LAZY when it comes to them

K that’s all for now LOL

R S T pleaseeeeee❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Ziggy, babe!!! <3 <3<3

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

Authors who have an influence on my writing are: Stephen King , Chuck Palahniuk , Tove Jannson , Marlene Haushofer , Jonathan Safran Foer I bet there are more, but those are some which undeniably had/have a strong influence on my brain.

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

I'm often having a hard time thinking in tropes when I talk stories but I guess friends to lovers is one that pulls me in a lot. Bed sharing is a good one, and I do love some forced proximity but I'm kinda picky with that one. I think I can get behind most tropes, honestly, depending on how they are executed. Is that a dissatisfying answer? Sorry.

T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?

Similar to the previous one. Things I tend to gravitate less to is 'enemies to lovers' and that surprises people a lot because I'm such an angsty bitch. I guess it's because I really would rather eat dirt then enemies to anything with the people I despise. I understand the appeal of the trope in general though. And then there are certain ways certain tropes are written that I can't stand. Like when 'missunderstanding' relies very heavily on gender stereotypes or focuses very strongly on 'who is to blame'. In short I need shit with nuance.

Thank you very much! <3

My daughter and I finished reading Comet in Moominland tonight, so to celebrate I've drawn my first piece of fanart in over a decade.

I was struck by how Tove Jannson's illustration of the final scene of the boo,k with Moomintroll and Snork Maiden staring out at the receded sea, resembled the iconic End of Evangelion poster and I felt compelled to draw it

[noctude]

Noctude i have just come to say that i finished a book called "the summer book" by tove jensson (the writer of the moomins) and it's a really beautiful book about a grandma and her granddaughter and their experiences with summer after the girl's mom dies and it's so beautiful and so sweet and it gives me your vibes. It's a book that's kinda for adults and kinda for kids but Honestly talks in such a mature way that i feel like kids wouldn't get the nuances that much. It's wonderful and it's beautiful and i recommend it wholeheartedly...

oh that does sound like something i would love.... tove jannson was such a precious and earnest presence & i have always been so taken with the way she observed the world

i feel like the maturity of her work shows how much credit she gives to children! even if they dont know how to pinpoint or explain the nuance, theyre still recognizing and absorbing it :)

#putting that on my list of eli recommendations to look at after finals are over #also i LOVE childrens fiction in general #it's so important #ask
