some lowkey snufkinkin thoughts
i made a post a few days ago like “gay snukin is good but what if asexual snufkin” and several people piped up THIS IS GAY ACE ERASURE and thats a valid response but not at ALL what i meant to do
and i JUST realised the reason i wanted an asexual/aro snufkin is because i project a lot of myself onto him (like a lot of people, hes a popular and relatable boi) but I personally have HUGE serious detrimental problems with physical affection and romantic attraction and things of that ilk so naturally i wanted to see that represented in a character i relate to on a personal level (queer anti-capitalist anti-social musician who lives alone in a tent = literally me on all points, except the tent - mine was a tiny caravan but ive certainly lived in tents/yurts for long stretches of time)
so when i see art/posts/content of snufkin and moomin being cute and romantic and affectionate its nice, i can appreciate it, but i cant RELATE to it
i guess this is why i like book snufkin the best?? like he had his shit together but he was also quite aggressively anti-social at times, and anime snufkin is too nice and calm, and moominvalley snufkin is much closer but still too soft but also kind of extra on the touching front idk
to clarify: im NOT saying “all the canon facts about snufkin are wrong and shit because i personally do not relate”
i am trying to explore and deal with my own problems by using snufkin as an emotional tool that i feel comfortable attaching some parts of myself to, and by looking at my situation from another point of view it helps me get some perspective
