House of Inconvenience

There is no focus here. I like creepy, awkward, cute, and scary. My primary fandom is Rise of the Guardians, but I reblog a lot of photography and art.

Moomin enjoyers could get so much more out of the stories if everyone stopped cutesy-fying them so much. This is something I have a strong opinion on. Everyone seems to focus on "aw fluffy little nice creatures" and "Moomin and Snufkin are in love" which YES they are. Obviously. All of that is true.

But the original Moomin stories are undeniably dark. They're often about being sad and depressed and so, so lonely, about looking for a home, about never feeling fully understood, about growing up and having flawed parents. About never being fully able to understand some people. Moominpappa at Sea, the whole Groke situation, Moominland Midwinter, the last few Moomin books in general. The Hattifattener's whole deal. Their world is full of sad and strange things. It's just also about seeing the fun and feeling love in a world like that.

I think the average Tumblr user would love the Moomins even more if everyone stopped pretending that they're Disney-type creatures, and instead embrace the incredible Finland-Swedish weirdness. Tumblr I know you love weird stuff! Get into the strange side of the Moomins!

Also Tove Jansson would be on my side here. She was so annoyed by the Moomins getting commercialised and twisted by everyone. I enjoy a pretty Arabia Moomin mug as much as the next person. I love the wholesomeness of these stories, too, and I don't want to tell you how to enjoy these books. Keep a place in your heart for the darkness in these stories, is what I'm saying. You might love them even more if you do that.

I remember one of the books, Comet in Moominland, was about a giant meteor coming to kill everyone and trying to prepare for certain doom. I was like "Damn, this is heavy, I wonder what inspired this??" It was published in 1946, shortly after the invention of the nuclear bomb, so I do wonder if that's the connection. I actually thought it was published later during the Cold War because the book would be very relatable to anyone who did bomb drills hiding under their school desks.

If you have anxiety or psychosis, PLEAZE be careful about your caffeine intake and try to always pair it with food. Caffeine can be a major trigger for anxiety, paranoia, delusions, etc and it's a million times worse on an empty stomach.

Who the fuck changed this from vampires to Danny devito

[aliceinpunderland-blog]

the real question is why I was completely ready to accept that this person had a debilitating childhood fear of Danny Devito

when we "lose" a cis butch woman because he becomes a trans man or masc you should actually say such things as yay, yippee, or hooray.

[starbitgamer]

When we "Lose" a lesbian when she comes out as Bisexual you should probably say things such as "huzzah", or "i like your shoes, miss bi lady"

[imjunebitch]
