New month long challenge! And a Hemulen-themed one at that!
We have a word prompt (like other month challenges tend to do), the character it relates to and the source material they come from, you can decide whether to combines the elements for each day or apply them to another character who isn't the Hemulen tied to it, or that Hemulen doesn't have to tie into the prompt, or it could be an entirely different non-hemulen if you'd like, you can even use OCs and stuff!

Tanoshii Mumin Ikka, episode 61: “Moomin's the Fortune Teller”
After over a month polls and voting we have finally reached the final (albeit predictable) conclusion...
Congratulations to Mr. Hemulen for being, scientifically, the best Hemulen in the Moomin franchise!
The jack of all trades and the impossible achiever has yet another major achievement under his belt to go along with his complete stamp collection and 2 flower discoveries! Good for him!
Then in second place we have Wimsy! With his inexplicable charms despite his relative obscurity he managed to make it to the top of his side of the bracket! He can sleep well under the dining table knowing well how many people adore him for being himself.
In shared third place we have the Inspector and the Hemulen Who Loved Silence! The Inspector is for certain the best character in his category of being a police hemulen by virtue of being the only policeman to be actively kind to people, and the Hemulen Who Loved Silence seems to have gotten that far by virtue of relatability and wholesomeness! How sweet!

Well, that's it for now! Whatever happens to this blog afterwards I'm not sure - I'm thinking of either making it a reblog blog dedicated to Hemulens with some trivia/speculation/polls thrown in or yet another project I have to keep up with (I'm thinking of making it a sort of Hemulen-lead arg which uses asks to tell the story), but who knows! Thanks for voting!
Until next time, see you later!
Welcome to the FINAL ROUND of the Best Hemulen Bracket!
I am your host, @flowerbloom-arts, and we are now finally at the long-awaited, most important poll of the tournament!
2 out of the 32 contestants have made it to the end of their respective sides of the bracket, and now they must face eachother off! So now's the time to ask the most important question in the last few weeks...
Who is the best between them?
Mr. Hemulen
Wimsy
Mr. Hemulen
Originally from Comet in Moominland, then continuing his role in Finn Family Moomintroll (in fact, he's the only Hemulen to appear in more than one book from the main book series!), he was a grumpy and oblivious old man who only ever focused on his stamps, but after he finished his collection and took up plant collecting, his character softened. He was later fully adapted into the 90s series, becoming a very often reoccurring character who offers his knowledge on plants and other fields of science.
Wimsy
A recurring minor character in the comics, he is Moominpappa's old best friend from his youth. He is a constant smoker, poker player and prefers to sleep under the table rather than a bed, but he is a charming and fun man who also became friends with Snufkin as they were building a jetty in Moomin and the Golden Tail. He also played a major role in Moominpappa and the Spies, in which he and Moominpappa try to relive their youth but get caught up in Soviet espionage.
He also gets adapted into an episode of the 90s second series, though with a new look and an original plot.

The Hemulen Who Loved Silence
The main character of a chapter of Tales From Moominvalley, he lived in a noisy family who ran an even noisier pleasure-ground. After a weeks-long flood washing the pleasure-ground away and his family coming up with the idea of opening an ice rink, he had enough and declared that he wants a pension and move out somewhere quiet. He also says his dream is to build a dollhouse but gets laughed out of wanting it anymore. After he moves to his grandmother's abandoned park, he is made by the children to rebuild the pleasure-ground with the parts they recovered. In the end, he opens a park of silence where there is no screaming or loud laughing, and much to his relief the children still enjoy it.

He was later fully adapted into the 90s series, becoming a very often reoccurring character who offers his knowledge on plants and other fields of science.
The Inspector
An unorthodox reoccurring Hemulen originating from the comics and becoming a reoccurring character in most animated adaptations, rather than being characterized by his job or even as being rude, he is a goofy and well-meaning police inspector who is more interested in the care of his roses than policing the already often peaceful Moominvalley. Gender non-conforming in interests and characterized as either oblivious or downright kind, he may be the only policeman you'd want to get arrested by (he even cooks food for his prisoners!)
He is also one of the few major hemulens who has an on-screen romance with another character (the Mymble's daughter in the 90s series), though his queercoding and lack of interaction with her in the comics makes it very odd as an adaptation.
Welcome to the semi-final round of the Best Hemulen Bracket!
I am your host, @flowerbloom-arts , and over the next few weeks we are going to pick our favorite hemulens from each pair, carefully selected according to commonality.
There are many, many hemulens in the Moomin franchise as a whole, but who is the best?
Only 4 of the 32 contestants are in the game! Truly exciting stuff! Choices seem pretty difficult now as they're all pretty fine Hemulens who've emerged from the crowd of obscure nobodies - however, who is truly the best of the best? Vote and find out!

Dragon Adopter
A small but important character in the Last Dragon on Earth chapter of Tales From Moominvalley, he rows down a river looking for fish but no luck. He comes across Snufkin who is looking to get rid of the tiny dragon and the Hemulen felt suspicious because he's not used to receiving gifts. Snufkin then tells him what to do with the dragon and sends him on the way.

He also gets adapted into an episode of the 90s second series, though with a new look and an original plot.
The Small Hemulen
A less minor character from Moominsummer Madness, she is the nervous smaller cousin of the Jailer who keeps her nerves at bay by constantly knitting. When she's put in charge, the prisoners trick her into letting them out by saying they're hungry, she then proceeds to take them to her home and feeds them all sorts of confectionaries. Once she hears out their side of the story, she goes with them to the Midsummer Play to talk to her cousin about the misunderstanding.
Who is the best between them?
The Botanist
The Inspector
The Botanist
A one-off character from the comic Moominvalley Turns Jungle and then replaced by Mr. Hemulen in the 90s adaptation, he is a single-minded man who only cares to study the plants which had suddenly grown around Moominhouse. Once the man-eating... Things become a major point, he advocates that they're actually plants rather than the animals his rival claims them to be.
The Inspector
An unorthodox reoccurring Hemulen originating from the comics and becoming a reoccurring character in most animated adaptations, rather than being characterized by his job or even as being rude, he is a goofy and well-meaning police inspector who is more interested in the care of his roses than policing the already often peaceful Moominvalley.

He was later fully adapted into the 90s series, becoming a very often reoccurring character who offers his knowledge on plants and other fields of science.
La Goona
A major one-off plot character from the comic Moomin Falls in Love and adapted into the 90s series, La Goona is the female lead of a circus and a vamp, preferring to use Moomin's feelings for her to her advantage. Her one rational friend is the talking Sea-horse she rides on and her interest is the strong man of the circus, Emeraldo.
