no offense but this 1 minute clip has more emotional value than many entire movies

#still so happy about dodie being able to do a song for moomins #this was a good episode

ahotknife

here is every playlist i’ve ever made about being gay

ten hours of songs by women who love women for women who love women

the manic pixie dream girl trope but i’ve subverted it and it’s for lesbians now sorry straight boys

harold, they’re lesbians (swing for gay ladies)

the soundtrack to the lesbian romcom we haven’t got but should keep rallying for

the twentygayteen masterlist (every gay song released this year)

indie pop but it’s like…vaguely gay and makes me think about cute girls

very gay music from the 70s and 80s

modern pop songs every self respecting gay should know

the soundtrack to that lesbian indie movie we haven’t got but should keep rallying for (r u noticing a trend)

this is all music by women it’s not especially gay but i am so like every playlist i make is gay if i decide i want it to be

Tove Jansson was having a very hard time in her life. She was frustrated professionaly, mostly because maintaining her Moomin series was becoming rather tiresome. She was utterly tired with her creation and could not see any way to continue. Her career as a comic artist had left her tired and maintaining the Moomin brand was starting to take off. But above all, Tove was very lonely. She was over fourty and desperately wanted to find true love.

Then, she attended the a seasonal party for artists. And there, Tove asked Tuulikki Pietilä to dance with her. Tuulikki refused, probably because two women dancing would not have been proper. But she sent Tove a drawing of a striped cat. And so began a love stroy that would last half a century.

Tove had experienced many passionate love stories. She had connected with people intellectually and shared amazing chemistry. But finally she felt like she had come home, with Tuulikki. Tuulikki became Tove’s safe haven and her companion. Their personalities were different in a way where each complimented the other, but their values and backgrounds were similar.

With Tuulikki, Tove Jansson grew to connect with her Moomin series all over again. This rekindled passion resulted in Moominland Midwinter. In this novel, Moomintroll wakes up into the unknown world of winter and gains a new guide and companion, Too-Ticky. Too-Ticky’s name and appearance are stunningly similar to Tuulikki. And similar to the person she is based on, Too-Ticky guides Moomintroll through new experiences with understanding and patience.

Tove and Tuulikki lived together in neighbouring ateliers and during summer, they lived on their shared island. Tuulikki was very protective of Tove and wanted to make sure that nobody could harass her famous partner during these times. They also traveled together a lot and even made a trip around the world. Tove had finally found a traveling partner who wanted to go wherever she wanted to and together with her. They collaborated together to create Moomin displays, many of which are still presented at the Moomin museum in Tampere, Finland.

Despite homosexuality being still illegal in Finland and later classified as a medical condition, Tove never hid her love for Tuulikki. The press could not make a scandal out of a public secret, so the two women could live together in relative peace. In 1992, they attended Presidential Independence celebration together, likely as the first female couple.

Tuulikki stayed with Tove until the latter’s death in June, 2001. The picture of the striped cat that Tuulikki drew for Tove is still on the wall of Tove’s atelier until this day.

ALSO! in 1970, Tuulikki bought an super 8mm camera and began documenting their life together! Both their travels around Europe and their life on their island named “Haru”, the footage was made into two beautiful documentary films in ‘98 and ‘04. Consisting of footage shot between 1970-1993.

These films are edited in a way where over the footage there are texts from Tove’s journal being read, correlating to what is shown and the time it was shot. I highly recommend checking them out! They’re available for rent on vimeo for 4.80$ and 3.60$ for a 48-hour streaming period.

And this is how religious people should react when someone comes out to them

Re-blogging this from myself cause I wanted to add the most important part: before that first pic she acted like she was 100% on board with her granddaughter being gay while her granddaughter was there and I think that’s great. She had misgivings about it based on religion and upbringing but she cared enough about her granddaughter to not be an ass about it to her granddaughter. And all the above is after she’s out of the room. Who you are is not your gut reactions. It’s what you do with them.
