what if moomin characters were humans and went to a modern school?
I have a hole in my heart as I wait for Moominvalley season 3. SO. To fill said hole and somehow feed my hyperfixation, I decided to imagine moomin characters as people and throw them into this coming of age movie setting.
I present to you~
Now, a few basics of the AU.
The story takes place in the real, modern world, in a town on the south coast of England, to be precise. There’s no magic or fantasy creatures in this universe, only stupidity and teenage drama. Speaking of, this whole thing was made as my personal snufmin shipping playground, so they’re the main characters here (so surprising).
Moomin and his friends all go to college in their hometown. If you’re not familiar with education system in UK (me neither dw) college is the school where students aged 16-18 can go, before they enroll in a university.
Snufkin is the new kid in school, having just moved to the town with his (huge and feral) family, after his mom got divorced for the 50th time.
Moomin, bless his soul, finds the quiet, scruffy guy to be the embodiment of sheer coolness for some reason. They eventually become friends, thanks to his persistence.
🌼 Moomin 🌼
- 17 years old
- British
- the only child, living his peaceful, carefree life in the nice, huge house of his parents
- not your typical “popular kid” but everyone seems to like him
- soft boy™ with just the right amount of sass
- moominparents are too good to raise a spoiled brat but lord, is this boy sheltered and naive
- dumb at maths lol
☘️ Snufkin ☘️
- 18 years old
- Swedish
- you’d think the guy’s so chill and calm but on the inside he lives his life in a constant state of mild annoyance/anxiety
- could have straight A’s at school but f*ck the system 🤘
- hobbies include: taking walks, playing guitar, smoking weed
- just wants to live his life in peace, nobody will let him
- pretentious
A little lineup of the families:
and to end it off with a doodle page of random silliness I did when I was coming up with the au idea
I know the fandom is kinda dead rn, I plan to sh*t out the content for this and keep the ask box open. should any other soul find this interesting somehow.

Hi!!! I LOVE your art and was wondering what brushes you use! Specifically for your lineart, I love how much life it has 💞
HI HELLO
I was completely sure I shared my brushes settings here at least once before and scrolled through my entire blog to grab that for you but didn't find it, idk some glitch in the matrix perhaps
but also I literally just use one basic brush in paint tool sai v1 and here it is:
I reject modernity, I was only capable of learning one drawing program in my entire life and a super simple one at that xd and have been using it for 12 years ajhgjhfd
ANYWAY thank you so much for the compliment 🥺<3

What do you feel about people maybe writing a fanfiction of your college au? I’m maybe considering doing so because I really like your au and your art!!!! But obviously if you’re not comfortable with that then that’s okay ^^
Hi omg ugh sorry I'm really bad at keeping up with my socials lately but oh gosh please, absolutely feel free to make whatever content for the au you like!! There are some fics existing for it already and I EAT THEM and I'm so happy when people even want to make anything for this au and this story
so by all means please go ahead!! and pls let me know if you end up making something so I can EAT IT
I was listening to Snufkin's playlist and I get an Idea that I can also make one like that but with Polish songs
Maybe Moomins too idk
Hanek can I
aaa hey hey I'm sorry I've been offline here for a while, just busy plus I was on a trip for some time BUT oh pls you dont have to ask for my permission! go ahead and make your own playlists for them if you like 🥺
So I was wondering: what are the each character pronouns in your au? (not all characters', just these most imporant) Or at least their sexual/romantic orientations
I might be kinda too couriosy- ^^"
hello! <3 Oh, well, as for their pronouns, I was just going with the pronouns they use in canon to be honest, didn't give it too much thought hah
as for the sexualities, here:
moomin: bisexual but thinks he's straight
snufkin: gay demisexual but thinks he's ace
sniff: the actual ace, not aro though
snorkmaiden: pan
little my: lesbian
mymble jr: same as moom tbh
moominparents claim they straight but did some fruity shit in their youth
mymble: straight
joxter doesn't deserve a sexuality
