Yeah that's me, one disappointed Snusmumrik [Snufkin] OC who will surely make you disappointed like when I'm disappointed with life. I try to test other platforms beyond my Tumblr Moomin blog where I do all kind of things related to Tove Jansson. #digitalart #moomin #snufkin

I remember when I was a teen and wonder WTF do I always get those damn Moomin memes on YouTube when I haven't searched Moomin at all. Is it because my annual travels to Finland? But those memes were in the shitty English dub which is extra jarring!

However it didn't explain why the hell every damn school account I had got automatically independently flooded by Moomin memes on YouTube once I started. Is it because I live in Sweden where its original language originates? Finnish propaganda?

Mårran/Mörkö/Groke from Moomin almost always sounds different for every adaptation. You can read more at my blog about her origins and book depiction. Compilation of the 90s anime will be added later in halloween. #moomin #halloween #october #nostalgia

People asking me why I don't seek another guy if I'm attracted to both. I just don't feel confident enough to compare my own body to another man.

I'm so sick and tired of being forced to see shippers using Blaze on Tumblr. I'm so sick of romance, I just want cats dammit!😾

For International Translation Day, I made a post exposing Penguin Book's mistreatment of Tove Jansson's Moomin tumblr.com/besvikna-snusmumr… #moomin #digitalart

I tried so surpress my frustrating memories like embarrassing argument by convince myself it's as fake as my trip to Antarctica where my made-up uncle Morty was arguing with penguins.

I'm so sick and tired of family reunions nowadays. Relatives gets more stuck into exaggerated echochambers on social media and gets more polarized and radical. It makes me so damn hopeless and depressed. It was more peaceful before and I miss that.

Dammit, missed Tove Jansson-dagen that was in 9th August. I was on a vacation at the time. Maybe next year...

Artwork for my article about The Real Origins of Snufkin's Hat(s). For short: The type of felt hats Snufkin wears can be found between 1300-1800s all over rural Scandinavia and rest of Europe, commonly associated with travelers. Read more at my blog. #moomin #digitalart

Internet gives me sea sickness, especially Tumblr. Feels like everyone there are pirates with constant ship wars.

I cringe when English speakers pronounce "Mojang". It's just weird. There are two equally valid ways to say it in Swedish that's even heard amongst Swedish Mojang employees themselves during Swedish interviews. Most noticeable difference is the "a" vowel.

I just watch clips of real life hippos... They don't look like my white big-nosed troll friends at all... They can't even do this:

The Swedish Moomin base is one silent iceberg mostly offline but freaking everywhere in real life. However modern chaotic obsessive fandom-like behaviors are rare except cosplay. It's often an unconscious exception from modern expectations.

I don't think it's just Swedes are naturally calm, many of them are insane fans of anything else. It seems to be result of cultural condition of more regular institutional maintenance of Tove Jansson's legacy, being mainly kept as literary heritage.

I kept having this feeling like tourist guides framing locals as even more primitive idiots like framing Boogiemen as real dead serious belief when it was actually used to scare kids to submission or just local humor. And then tourists buy this shit and try hunt for it.

Why do I restrict interactions on my posts? To set personal boundaries. Get very easily stressed & overwhelmed with replies. Also, I distrusts social media, it's unpredictable & chaotic. I keep seeing flame wars on internet fandoms so I rarely interact with other fans.

Not as funny, this is what it looks like when it's the last word of every European national anthem

"Evolutionary psychology" in a nutshell: Men on average brush their teeth 1.57 minutes, women 2.02. Why women brushes teeth 5 secs more on average than men is to staying clean when birthing and nursing babbies. Not some statistic random! Also toothbrushes are evolutionary!

I was looking at my stats. My Tumblr blog are most likely visited by Russians while Instagram posts are more likely get visited by Iranians and Indians. That's odd.

So most of my Instagram base are literal Aryans (language group)... Isn't Instagram banned in Iran? Although they could have used VPNs & their government is too old to ban those. Although wouldn't VPNS cover their Aryan origins to something else?

Holy shitto! I finally got that extremely rare ugly-ass manga adaptation of that infamous gun episode of the Moomin 1969 anime that was an obi-strip for a vinyl album of Muumin no uta! I'm working with the presentation of it! #moomin

I can read hiragana and it has furigana for me to read out-loud however I don't understand everything in it.
