So… Is There A Sexuality For Being In Love With The Moon? An After School Club?? A Cult??? Seriously,

Snufkin having a wtf-moment.

Graphite, charcoal and digital enhancements.

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

Reblog this happy Snufkin on your blog to make him happy.

Look what I made 😊 Idk what it is it called, a planner holder maybe? However the base is made out of a big English to Swedish lexicon. The outside material is from an old tablecloth and the inside from a pillow cover. I just glued the fabric to the book. The planner was gray from the beginning so I just used some fabric and cute washitape. Then I just made some pockets and stuff to hold pens, papers and stickers 🌻❤

seriously though nothing can stop me from interpreting Real Life as canon just for how it progresses the canary curse situation. i'm obsessed with it. the curse gets broken in secret life and then in the very next "series", as much of a joke as it is, you get a situation like THAT. jimmy enters a mineshaft and everyone but him dies. not just his team, though obviously it's more significant because they were all red, but ren/martyn/skizz all get a mineshaft-death apiece. that canary's not doing his job anymore. he escaped his cage and made a break for the surface and everyone else is paying the price for it, and i for one could not be more proud of that little bird.

Concept:

We go foraging together. Every mushroom, berry, and other forest delight that we find is gentley placed in a wicker basket. You get super excited when you find ramps. It’s cute. I laugh.

Moomins Fanfiction Recommendations

So! I read and write a lot of fanfiction whenever I get into a new fandom, and thus far Moomins has been no different. In the interest of sharing some of my favorites, I thought I’d go through and put together a fic recs post.

Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list of all the Moomins fanfics I’ve ever read and enjoyed! These are just the ones that have stuck with me the most. The Moomins AO3 tag has really taken off recently, and I highly encourage everyone to browse for themselves and give these authors some love. If going through fandom tags makes you nervous, fear not! Here is a link to the filtered version that I usually use.

To start off, here are some authors who have written enough gems that I can’t pick just one:

Bloodsbane: Some seriously good Joxter&Snufkin content. The creme de la creme is definitely When All is Still in Winter, though. It’s still ongoing, and it’s fantastic.

Princex_N: Lots of soft content, generally short and sweet. They’ve written a few fics about Snufkin having chronic pain that I found interesting, as well.

oOmackybOo: More softness, and Joxter&Snufkin father/son content! Perhaps you’re sensing a trend.

And without further ado, here is a list of Moomins fanfictions that have utterly wowed me over the past month or so.

your heart is gold and your hands are cold, by taizi: Ongoing. Taizi is another author who’s written a lot of good stuff, but this fic stands out to me in particular. I love fae stories, and this one has just the right flavor of eerie.

All That is Given, by WritingIsMyCoffee: Ongoing. One of the best Snufkin/Moomin fanfics I’ve read so far. I can’t exactly call it a slow burn because they get together in the first chapter, but the way their relationship develops from there is just, *chef’s kiss*. Also the ending of Chapter 10 was a flawless gut-punch, and I’m not sure I’ll ever fully recover.

Yearn No More, by TemenCMoth: Ongoing. This one is about Snufkin and Moomintroll coming to terms with their feelings for each other after… let’s call it an unwelcome intervention from a meddlesome traveler.

A Little Pocket of Snow, by Gemi: Complete. A short and sweet fic about the Joxter raising Snufkin and Moomin. Kinda hope the author does more with it.

Divulgence, by mousesprings: Ongoing. Moomintroll finds out that Snufkin is one of the Mymble’s children, and Snufkin tells the story of how he went from living with his mother and siblings as a young child, to wandering the world in solitude. I love this fic’s take on baby Snufkin.

But One Doesn’t Say It, by Bumblebeebats: Ongoing. A lovely mutual pining fic in which Snufkin is terrified of people finding out he has emotions, and Moomin trying to figure out when is the right time to hold hands (hint: it’s all the time).

the joxter never took anything seriously, by punkbean: Complete. A Joxter-centric fic leading up to the epilogue of The Exploits of Moominpappa. The Joxter finds out he has a son, pines over the years he lost, and finally gets to meet him. All in all it’s a sweet fic with a nice take on Joxter as someone with the potential to be a good parent, which is my favorite take on the Joxter, honestly.

Son of Snow, by RunRabbitRun: Complete. I can’t get enough of Joxter and Snufkin content, apparently. The Joxter is a winter fae, and Snufkin is a spring fae but doesn’t know it. They meet on a beach one day. It’s not terribly dramatic for most of it, but the character interaction alone is a lot of fun.

wildflowers, by carolinaa: Complete. Snufkin returns to Moominvalley to find that the Moomins aren’t there, and no one knows where they’ve gone. Perfect story for tugging your heartstrings before giving you a nice, emotionally cathartic end.

feet of clay, by Tyranno: Ongoing. This one’s a fun one. The Moomins are traveling in search of a new home, and eventually come upon a valley healing from a recent fire. Snufkin is the local god of the valley, who Moomintroll befriends as he and his parents make their home there.

Floodgates, by blossombell: Complete. Moomintroll realizes that he loves Snufkin in a way he can never love Snorkmaiden. A sweet story about Moomintroll valuing his friends’ feelings before learning to value his own.

Give Me a Reason, by VoidofRoses: Complete. Another fae!Snufkin fic! This time it’s the whole family: Joxter’s fae, Snufkin’s fae, Mymble’s fae, Little My’s fae, they’re all fae! Winter!Joxter finds out he has a son, and heads to Moominvalley to meet Spring!Snufkin.

Formal Affair, by busket: Complete. Ms. Fillyjonk derides Snufkin’s uncouth way of life, so he crashes her fancy-dress party to prove a point and also give Moomintroll a night to remember. There is nothing about this story I don’t love.

Winter, Come Spring, by Grimmseye: Complete. Moomintroll wakes up in the middle of winter to find the Joxter raiding their kitchen. Hilarity ensues.

Nearly Nowhere, by Qpenguin98: Complete. Obligatory Invisible Snufkin fic! But in all seriousness, this is a nice one. It starts off sad and ends sweet; what more could you ask for?

cottonmouth, by luftballons99: Complete. Moomintroll and Snufkin get baked.

Your Freedom Isn’t Free, by AgentZee: Complete. A young Snufkin discusses the nature of freedom with the Joxter. Short and sweet.

Delicate, by Pyrrhuloxiac: Complete. One of the first fanfics I ever read. Snufkin and Moomintroll discuss the language of flowers. I keep coming back to this one.

Enjoy! I’ll probably add more as I find them.

new tutorial, this time for "fake" medals you can use to decorate your jacket or any stuff really.

give yourself a weird award you yourself came up with, coorperations do it all the time!

stuff you will need:

-scissors

-variation of pliers

-a stencil, the shape you want the fabric part of ur medal to be, make it a bit bigger so youll have room to sew

-piece of fabric two times the size of your stencil

-sewing needle

-sewing thread, i use dental floss

-safety pin

-paperclip, or just iron wire, around 1 mm Ø

-bottlecap

start with cutting out the two pieces of fabric for your medal using a stencil

pin em to eachother, with the sides you want to be on the outside, facing inwards.

sew along the side but keep the top open, so you can flip it inside out.

now you can flip in inside out, and fold the top around the safety pin, and sew it down

make sure the side of the pin that doesnt open is the one being sewn down. the opening part should be on top.

bend the paperclip into something resembling the shapes in the pic below using the pliers, doesnt need to look good, mine sure dont

bend the edges of the bottlecap to the inside, and pin the hook part of the right iron wire thing down under the edge

connect the iron wire hoop you made (left in picture) to the piece of iron wire on the bottlecap. fold the point of the fabric part of the metal around the hoop and sew it down.

should look something like this.

now you can add decorations, you can paint the cap aswell as the fabric part, using patterned fabrics can also make ur medals look nicer.

ive seen people advise using modgepodge to seal the painted cap, instead of nailpolish, i dont have modpodge where i live but use that if youre able to get ur hands on it.

i hope this was clear, let me know if you want tutorials on any other stuff. i like doing them a lot.

Hellenic cheat sheets

Please don’t tell I’m the only one that actually wonders how the hell Snufkin got his hat back at the end of episode 3 of Moominvalley (that should have been a whole episode itself) 😂😭
