[moomimania]

welcome!

how wonderful to see you 🌼

this is my moomin-related art blog. expect a lot of snufmin 💚🤍 AO3

[moomimania]

hiii just wanted to pop in to say i think abt your art and fics on a regular basis still <33 also i read your update post a while back and i appreciate you sharing that bc i see creators dissappear without a word in most fandoms i'm in and it worries me a bit ig (i try to assume as little as possible abt their situation though). also wanted to mention that in an event where you can't bring yourself to finish the yotp series could you mayhaps post some of the drafts? if you're up for that? i'm starved sgdkdhkd,,, either way i hope whatever future endeavors strike your fancy are exciting and help you be your best creative self! take care of yourself 🕊️

goodness me. this made me tear up 🥺 thank you so much for sharing that, it genuinely touched my heart. i appreciate it tremendously!

you actually encouraged me to post the next part of the yotp series... but fair warning, there was a reason i was holding it back, because the next parts are not written. please don't hate me after you've read it hahaha 🙈

The Midsummer Party

as a pre-emptive apology, please have this old piece of art i don't think i ever shared hahaha

[moomimania]

soooo... i've been gone huh. and i'm not sure if anyone really noticed. i just figured i owed a bit of an explanation as to why i never actually posted more of the yotp story.

life's been a little rough lately. nothing in particular has happened, but my head has decided to be overwhelmed regardless. and where moomin used to be my medicine, it's not cutting it rn. the hyperfixation has faded, which happens i guess, but i'm sorry to leave a project hanging because of it.

i still intend to finish the yotp story - or at least have it land at a more satisfying point. i just don't know when that will be. sorry about that.

anyway... this old sketch of a contemplative moomin felt fitting for this update haha.

take care, loves<3

here's another gift for the Moominvalley community gift exchange. A little bird told me @urkotheuppercase hadn't received a gift yet... That won't do! So here's a gift for you - I hope you'll like it 🍪❤️

(this might be slightly self-indulgent... it may or may not hint at something in a future chapter of my YOTP storyline hehehehe)

[moomimania]

just got to read all the yotp fics you've posted on ao3 and i just have to say it was delightful!! definitely will be rereading later <3 looking forward to see how plot develops 👀

awww thank you anon!!<333 sorry for this abysmal late response - I've been feeling kinda guilty leaving the story hanging for so long. But it's not abandoned! and while I'm not gonna be able to catch up to the regular posting schedule again, new updates will come soon!

to make up for my absence, have a little sneak peek for the june chapter:

titled: The Midsummer Party 🔥🍻💞

the finnish landscape is magnificent to draw (and add these little creatures to)

HAPPY MOOMIN'S DAY 🤍

i was at the celebration ceremony in Tampere today and got to sing happy Birthday to this little guy after he received his flower crown 🌼

[moomimania]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOVE JANSSON (and Moominpappa) 🖤🤍

to think, it's been 110 years since the world was gifted with this brilliant artist, whose stories are still relevant as ever. what a legacy! she continues to be an inspiration to this very day.

also, thank you, @skruttet, for knowing the moomins' birthdays!

[moomimania]

The hyperfixation might have faded, but I still love moomins and this year, on this very day, I'm celebrating it in Finland on the 80th anniversary 💕

we're doing an art gift exchange in the Moominvalley community, so here is my gift for the talented @janetkwallace 🌼🌷🌻

admittedly, I had no idea who Houska was before researching for this piece. I don't speak finnish, so the few clips I could find of her I had to go by visuals only haha. I hope this sort of fits her characterization.

And I also hope it hits the angst 😉

[moomimania]

new fic is up, so i made this little art to announce! 💛

i'm not dead!! i just don't draw as much anymore, unfortunately... i really want to though, but i can't force it and life is being a bitch lately, so i'm just gonna take it slow and let it come back whenever.

Hey, I know it's been a quite awhile and I haven't been in a Moomin mood as of late but seeing your Moomin art recently made me want to share this unfinish work that I had done back in October for you after we spoke about OTGW! The background is incomplete and few other things... I hope you don't mind, for I don't think I can finish this, I'm sorry :(...

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH OMGGGGG!!! THIS IS SO GREAT!!! omg omg omg and- and- f-for me?!?!? I'm so flattered!! So honoured!! That is honestly the sweetest thing, thank you thank you thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

And what do you mean it's incomplete?? I think it looks AWESOME!!! I absolutely love moomin-Wirt and Greg, what a great concept! When they tumbled into the unknown, whoop, they ended up in Moominvalley as moomins!!! Amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing!!

[moomimania]

I ATE YOUR WHOLE FANFIC. OH MY GOD. I was having such a horrible day and your snufmin fanfic came to me like a dream.

I definitely have to do a drawing about it!! Thank you for writing something so beautiful.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! And PLEASE!!! Tag me if you make a drawing, I'd love to see! 🤩

[moomimania]

Have a wonderful weekend! 🌟

I haven't been drawing these two in a while... but it felt goooood.

my brain has been in other pastures for a while, so I struggled a bit getting in the zone writing the march entry for YOTP. To find inspiration, I took to drawing one of the scenes - and it helped a lot!! I now have a full first draft of the fic. Now I just need to make it good lol

I hope to draw more again, I do miss it 🌱

New entry for YOTP 2025! 💙

How will Moomintroll react to Snufkin kissing him to then promptly disappear for his winter travels?

The answer is - poorly.

Watch out! It's one sad Moomintroll in this one. But he's resilient.
