Thank you to anyone who’s ever read, enjoyed, and/or commented on my works! I greatly appreciate the love and support, and I wish everyone luck in their own creative endeavors ^-^
every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.
report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

Aaaaah look at the BOYS. I love Snufkin’s wild, flowy hair!! He deserves to have lots of pretty hair 💖💖💖 And I love how they’re smiling at each other 🥰
Thank you for drawing more Snettles!!
Snettles!!!! I read this fanfic and aaaaaaaaa i love it!! i have a drawing in my sketchbook i'll post when i'm back home, but here's online snettles!! amazing fanfic. it's not completed, but hey. imagination does wonders.i love this fic, def read it. idk why i love romcom like fanfics so much,,,, nebrasska,,, that daffodil moominfanfic,,,,this,,,, 😭😭😭😭 but hey. all fire.
plus bad comic of snufkin and nettles. "oh, nettles! like me." // touch // "Mamma…." /"wash your hands, dear."
Aaaaa look at the BOY, SNETTLES!! He looks so bright and happy! If only he could be like that in the fic itself 😂 I love how you did his hair! Wild and free 💖 and the comic with Mamma is so funny XD great addition 👏🏼
And hey, romcoms are popular for a reason!! 🤣 Haha, thank you for enjoying the fic!!
More Snettles? More Snettles.
Drew this last night bc I have an obsession
Ft. Small doodles on the side (my brother drew in red, I am forever haunted by what he created)
Aaaah you drew more?? 🥺🥺🥺 the first pic is so devastatingly sad, I love it!! Definitely how he felt in that moment when foreign instincts were taking him over. And once again I love your color usage 💖 (I did find the secret “squiggles” btw — so cute!!)
I also love your blue drawing, aaaah Moomin looks so happy!! And even if Snufkin’s face doesn’t show it, I know he’s enjoying himself too XD
Your brothers drawings are… very fun 😂 pretty sure I see Bill Cipher?? Great cameo
how are we feeling about the moomin movie announcement
I’m excited!! I genuinely think Rebecca Sugar’s art style will fit the cozy vibes of Moominvalley really well, so I’m excited for the art and animation. I suppose I’m a bit nervous to see who they cast as voice actors, because I got so used to the 2019 voice actors (and the 90s voices will always be dear to me), but I’m sure they’ll find good people for it.
I’m curious as to what stories the movie will adapt! Will it just be Comet in Moominland, or more? And how much liberty will they be allowed to stray from the original book? Probably not much; I believe @smokeys-house has talked before about how tight of a grip that “Moomin Characters Ltd.” has on anyone adapting the Moomins, and how they don’t want to stray too far from the original stories even if that means they just keep re-making the same tales over and over. (Hi Smokey). But even if it is just a faithful re-telling of the book, it’ll still be cool to see!
As a Snufmin shipper, I’m not hoping for anything explicitly romantic between Moomin and Snufkin during the movie. I think they’ll still be portrayed as close friends that can be read as queer through a media analysis lens. But I also trust enough in Rebecca Sugar’s determination to believe that she’ll give us a bit more queerness than before (and that’s as hopeful as I’m personally getting).
OKAY SO I’ve only been on Tumblr for one (1) day but I have read and reread the AMAZING fanfic “Snettles” by @annzybwrites, and it captured my entire soul for a good week, so I HAD to make some fanart for it!!
First up we got this sketchbook page, sorry for the little markup at the top, I had a little diary entry up there :)
Second, here’s a lil comic I made based on the scene where Snorkmaiden meets “Snettles” for the first time, except instead of laughing, she’s ANGWY! (as she should be) Again I’m seriously in love with this fanfic and I’m super excited to read more!!
Oh my gosh!! 🥺🥺🥺 Thank you so much for drawing this!! I’m always honored when my fics inspire people to make more art! I love your use of colors to set the mood for each scene; the blue for the tender moments, the yellow over the Lady of the Seas for magic influence and alarm, the red for anger. Maybe I’m reading too much into your color choices but they all fit so well, I feel! And I love how you drew Snettles singing in that first page — his hair has that perfect wet look and I love his subtle red scales everywhere!
The way you drew Snorkmaiden is so good — all of her expressions are priceless!! She’s a righteous queen. 😌 I initially wrote her as highly amused in that scene because she’s just been so done with Snufkin and Moomin’s train-wreck of emotional immaturity and non-communication for years now. She can’t take them seriously anymore. But she does get angry later, as she should be (like you said) 😂
I can’t believe people are finding and making fanart for this fic when it still isn’t finished (and for that I apologize 😭). But I do seriously love all of it!! I’m glad Snettles resonated with so many. What started out as a fun, Snufmin mermaid fic evidently evolved into so much more! So thank you, @squigglinmywaydowntown for drawing this, and thank you to everyone who has drawn beautiful fanart in the past 💖
Okay… so I started reading @annzy-bananzys-corner ‘s “Snettles” as I was scrolling through Snufmin fanfics to read on AO3 back in early December, and… holy cow is it good!!!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Not only did the art cover from one of my favorite artists drew me in, but the writing was just 👌✨ GORGEOUS!!
All the characters written had such good chemistry towards each other, and Snorkmaiden ended up being the funniest to me. I couldn’t stop laughing so hard at her trying to be the voice of reason to the two lovable idiots that are Moomin and Snufkin in the early chapters.
So as typical fashion, I felt a great need to draw it. Cuz honestly, long-haired Snufkin was not something I thought was going to make me go feral but hot damn does he look so pretty in long hair!
Okay so…
SPOILERS TO THE FIC!!!
It’s pretty blurry but 1. I don’t have the best camera quality, and 2. It’s a bit faded since it took me a whole month to do this. (Update: I got a clearer picture. Sorry, I was rushing to get this out for a whole month)
But anyway, I had absolute gender envy every time I drew Snufkin with long hair. And there was definitely a lot more I wanted to draw, and felt bad I didn’t draw Little My especially.
I’m actually glad for the cover art too, it acted as a perfect reference to use but unfortunately I’m not very good at drawing Moomin and I’m envious at how @hanekdrawsmoomins draws them! They’re so fluffy and pretty!!
I definitely had to draw Snorkmaiden calling Snufkin a twink. I couldn’t resist. What I didn’t intend was for it to be right next to Snufkin having a breakdown over the overpowering song in his ears 😅 I also decided in order to differentiate Moomin and Snorkmaiden, I gave Snorkmaiden more rounder and fluffier features like her tail and ears. It’s subtle but I was pretty happy with it.
I get giddy every time I drew Moomin and Snufkin, but Snorkmaiden and Alicia needed some love too. I wanted to try some perspective which… I’ll admit I’m not very good at, but I did my best. I normally don’t draw backgrounds but I wanted to give the scenes more character and it was pretty fun, even if it’s not perfect.
I also thought to myself “maybe the reason Moomin didn’t recognize Snufkin was because he’s never seen Snufkin’s hair deflate in the water” so I drew the comparison to Snufkin and “Snettles” for that one scene where Moomin realized how similar they were. I also imagined his hair gets longer in mermaid form.. hehe! :3
I was also very excited to do my interpretation of the Lady of the Sea but I’ll be honest… I did procrastinate on it for a while which is why it took so long. I know the description said “seaweed green hair” and not the fact it’s actual seaweed but… I hope you don’t mind but I gave her seaweed hair. Made of different types of seaweed too :3 I actually want to colour it at some point but if there’s any changes I should do to her design, you can let me know. I’ve loved to get an accurate idea on her :3 I also used the mermaids from the 90’s as reference to give her fins on her head, although Snufkin doesn’t have any but I’d argue it’s cuz he’s only half mermaid.
It’s a very scattered looking comic kind of page but man! There was so many moments that were genuinely so good I felt tempted to even draw a full comic book on this!!
But no… unfortunately I am very easy to lose motivation and I’ve been and will be pretty busy for the majority of my current life cuz of college and stuff so I’m afraid I can’t draw often.
Good thing I’m on break at the moment :3
But anyway, it was super duper fun drawing these!! I’m actually super duper proud of them :3
Actually…. You wanna know how much I loved my sketch of Moomin and Snufkin on their midnight swim?
I COLOURED IT!! GONE BACK TO MY DIGITAL ART ROOTS FOR THIS!!!
Honestly I don’t think I did that great but I did this on iBisPaint, and there was a version where he had brown hair… until I read a section saying he has red hair so I quickly changed it to how it looks currently.
I also realized too late that the scales on his cheeks weren’t actually scales but freckles… which…. You know what? Fuck it. His freckles turn to fish scales. And they’re shiny :3
I also decided to make his scales glow but then remembered that doesn’t happen till Chapter 13. But hey, I think it gave it a calm feeling with how warm it must feel to be snuggled up like that on the water. Heck even my sister agreed.
Overall, Moomin fanfics have really helped with my art block.
And sorry for the really long yapping session. I like talking about my thought process on these things, and I genuinely can’t wait for the next chapter whenever or if it ever comes. I understand you’re busy so I don’t blame you but… damn you really left it on a cliffhanger huh? Still love it though! :3
Also I’m not sure why the link for the fic isn’t working properly cuz normally it would be automatic but… I’ll see if I can fix it at some point (update, I fixed it!)
Oh my goodness!! I'm truly speechless from all of your kind words and the fact that you filled a whole page with little scenes from my little fic!!! Especially since it's not even finished yet!
I loved reading all of your thoughts of the scenes you decided to draw, and I'm glad you think all of the characters have good chemistry! I absolutely adore writing characters and character dialogue the most, so I'm glad that others take a liking to my style as well ^-^ And yes, Snorkmaiden is absolutely hilarious in this fic and I love her so much XD Someone has to be the voice of reason for our two, lovable idiots, even if no one seems to listen to her in the long run.
All of the scenes that you chose to adapt are SO GOOD!!! I love the way you draw Snettles peeking out of the water with only his eyes showing; he looks just as shy and pathetic as I pictured in my head XD My favorites are definitely the scenes where Snufkin finds himself influenced by mermaid music/spells/instincts. It's something that he's never quite going to get used to, I'm afraid, and you captured that feeling of confusion, panic, and compulsion very well! And I do like how you drew Moomin here, especially when he calls Snufkin "Snuffles" XD He looks so flirty!! So good!! And you even drew the lesbians having fun on the ship together <3 And Snorkmaiden calling Snufkin a twink is just good fun XD The work you did with the shading in every scene is really good, btw! I really enjoy where you place the emphasis.
I love your depiction of the Lady of the Seas! Giving her actual seaweed for hair is a fine choice I think, especially since she does look a bit more inhuman than the rest of her "children." I do like that she has different kinds of seaweed in her hair as well! And her face, smile, and claws are all so perfectly pointy to hint at her dangerous side. Absolutely marvelous!
Thank you so much for taking the time to enjoy my little fic and to draw all of this!! I'm glad it could help you through some of your art block, and I hope you continue to draw whatever your heart desires in the future <3
Have you ever heard of the invisible Snufkin ideas people have? Don't know if you've ever had your own ideas or not
Hi!!
Love this question. I have definitely seen the invisible Snufkin ideas that people have, and I think they're very creative and great sources for angst. I have not had any of my own ideas surrounding an invisible Snufkin, mainly because I don't think Snufkin would ever feel abandoned/neglected; at least not the current Snufkin we know and love.
In general, when we see Snufkin in any Moomin franchise (I'm talking from what I've seen of the comics, the 90s series, and the 2019 reboot), he's very confident in himself, appreciates his alone time, and has several friends that bring him joy even if he, himself, does not admit that he has these friends (aside from Moomin, and even then he tries to downplay how much Moomin means to him). Those are the attributes that I like to include when I write Snufkin, because then it makes for fun hypocrisies within his character that can then be used for character development purposes. And it is these attributes that I think make it a bit harder for him to turn invisible, especially considering the fact that he does enjoy a lot of solitary time when he's not in Moominvalley. To the point that I feel that even if Moomin did suddenly disappear on him, Snufkin would be able to find distractions to keep himself continuing on; to keep himself visible. Such as in the Moominvalley in November storyline, where Snufkin has no idea where Moomin is and is stuck waiting for him at Moominhouse, he distracts himself by assisting the other inhabitants of Moominvalley with whatever their troubles are while he waits.
To me, an invisible Snufkin AU would only make sense for me to write if literally everyone Snufkin used to know was long gone for some reason, and he is finding it nearly impossible to build new connections elsewhere -- even with practical strangers that he's met on his travels years ago. Otherwise, I feel like because of his tendency to travel and general resilience, he would be determined to keep himself visible unless he had a complete mental breakdown. And I'm not that interested in writing my little guy having a complete breakdown if there's not some kind of happiness for him to find at the end of the tunnel.

Summary: Angel learns that he's first on Adam's extermination list. But more than that, he finds out that he's good enough for Heaven? There's no way. He needs to talk to a friend about this.
Excerpt:
“Angel.” Husk’s deep voice sent shivers up his spine. “What happened? What did Charlie say?”
“In the room,” Angel practically whimpered, curling even further into himself. “Please.”
Husk hesitated for only a second before nodding, this time definitely pressing his cheek against Angel’s as he mumbled, “Okay.”
