Here are the age canons for my Snufkinverse AU.
River/Age 21 - I felt by how the characters acted in the comics and in ‘Moomins on the Riviera’ that they were at least young adults. Due to the multiple counts of when they get hungover or all the smoking and swearing they do in there. XD They just seem much more mature in that version and of course that includes how Snufkin acts.
Jasmine/Age 18 - In this series Snufkin seems more mature but honestly I don’t think any of the crazy shit that happens in this adaptation has anything to do with the characters age. Like even if they were confirmed to be 5 or something they would still probably be able to get a gun or any other crazy thing. So it was more a matter of what’s an age where you can be both mature and stupid at the same time. Honestly 18-year-olds are just teenagers with a few more rights.
Samur/Age 17 - I don’t really have an exact reason as to why I think this age is more suitable for him but... I don’t know it just feels right. -\•_•/-
Feltin/Age 16 - Okay look, I know in the movies for this series the voice actor they chose for him made him sound like he was over 50 but his personality is more taken from the books. Where he acts a lot more youthful and is more obvious that he, you know, isn’t an old man. So by extension Fuzzy Felt Snufkin is the same. So this age seems more reasonable for him. At least to me.
Mumriken/Age 13 - How in the name of hell did anyone think that Snufkin in the 90s anime was an adult? Like I think the only reason why people thought that was only because of John Chancer’s voice. Okay yes he’s more mature than the other kids but that has more to do with his upbringing more than his age. But yeah he still seems pretty young in that adaptation due to the way he acts. So I feel like this age would suit him.
Little One/Age 4 - Due to his age mostly being changed for my AU I wanted to make 2019 Snufkin young enough that he wouldn’t know much about anything but old enough that he could walk and small stuff like that. Honestly it’s kinda funny that 2019 series was the first to make utterly obvious that Snufkin was young. Again I think that’s more to the fact the Edvin Endre’s voice is more higher and softer than any other previous voice actors for English dubs.
