Sobbles I'm so sorry to break this to you because I love that trope too but. Joxter is canonically Definitely Not Skinny.

SCREAMS CRIES AND SCREAMS SOME MORE OMG MY BOYS!!!!!!! I LOVE MY BOYS!!!!!! THERE THEY ARE FROM MY LITTLE STORY I WROTE AND SOMEONE ELSE DREW THEM I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!! AAA THIS IS SO GOOD

Mini scene from @flowerbloom-arts's Down Below The Trench (pls read!!!)

there are so many scenes I'm dying to draw.... maybe once finals stop kicking my ass :')

Moominpappa's Memoirs adaptation where the narration gets translated into this. It's actually a recording of Moominpappa using a projector to show the kids this live action movie documentary based on his book and he's doing a live director's commentary.

Chapter 4 is OUT!

Wow! Look at this glowing review I've received for my parody fanfiction about Snorkmaiden called Down Below the Trench! Be sure to read it and leave a kudos or comment to express your own opinions on the story thus far!

(I've deleted the comment because I know it's just meaningless troll spam and honestly I'm more upset at the idea of this showing up in other people's comment sections than this being an insult tailored for me. It's not even a good insult, it's too broad and unspecific.)

I mean,

not the moomin actor comparing him to white rice 💀😂

It's these three!!! The half-siblings!!

Reference sheets for the Moomins and Snorks!

If the moomin characters where joined to ask a cult worshipping Cthulhu who do you think would join and who would refuse-

((asking for a moomins and call of Cthulhu crossover campaign- also I want your opinion oh great one/silly))

Oh wow that is a very difficult question... I feel like some of the characters would join under false or naive pretenses, none of which actually have to do with worshipping Cthulhu. The Moomins would probably join because they don't actually know what it's about, or Moominpappa and Snorkmaiden think it would be fun/believe it's the right thing while Moominmamma and Moomintroll air on the side of caution.

Sniff would probably join if there's money to be made (or they offered him enough money), Little My would probably join because she thinks the giant octopus-dragon monster is sick as hell and she would make a great minion to Cthulhu, Mymble Jr would probably join if a crush asked her to...

If anyone would actually look forward to the New World Cthulhu would bring, it'd probably be Stinky, not because he's evil or actually hates anyone or anything, he just likes seeing the world burn while he drinks champagne on a pile of gold while he's on the Big Guy's side.

I'd imagine more reasonable characters like Snufkin, Snork, Mrs. Fillyjonk or Inspector would stay far away from that crowd. Snufkin would probably stay just a little closer and make comments on the situation in the hopes the Moomin family would get out of the cult.

It's just like any other day in Moominvalley

(Also can I please join your campaign that sounds awesome)

Chapter 3 is out now!

Alright so, I have a very difficult question I can't decide on so I'm leaving it up to y'all;

I'm having a difficult time with this one because as I untangle the web of gender expectation and subversion of his character while thinking about the Genderswap of him, I realize that both options lead to very difficult problems.

1. If Girl Inspector was a butch woman in the police force who still likes flowers and decorates her police station like a grandma and is too nice to really arrest anyone, she would only play into stereotypes of women in the police/military being too preoccupied in that ~Feminine Ways~ to do their jobs properly, even if she were to dress masculinely and wear her hair short. But it would be loyal to the characterization of her male counterpart despite the effect of "a policeman who likes flowers and floral decor" on a mid-20th century audience not quite being there anymore, because the idea of a woman being in the police force would still have a similar effect on the reader, as female police officers, let alone a police inspector, was uncommon in the UK at the time.

2. If Girl Inspector was a femme woman with a different profession with more emphasis on masculine interests, it would perfectly mirror the effect of his original character, but I feel like it might be too different from the original Inspector to really feel like him anymore.

If anyone has any solid opinions or suggestions to add to this please let me know, I'm genuinely having a hard time here.

An illustrated summary of George MacDonald's The Light Princess I did for an English project (the teacher gave us several different topics to do for a speaking with visuals type project and I chose to summarize one of my favorite fairytales, it's a bit on the obscure side but I really like it and the audiobook of it is available on YouTube).

I would've liked to do some different things with it but I couldn't because I really had to bust these out in a short while plus I had to appeal to my right-wing/conservative classmates and teacher, so..

But overall I'm super happy with it!!

They're so cute.

Do you have any songs you specifically associate with the Oshun Oxtra crew? Cosmo Sheldrake dropped "Old Ocean" and I cant help but think of Hodgkins when it plays. (P.S. hes like my favorite out of your depictions I'm a big fan of your Hodgkins!!)

(AAAAAAHHHH OMG THANK YOU I LOVE MY MAN HODGKINS SO MUCH)

It's so funny that you mention Cosmo Sheldrake because for the longest time I have imagined different songs by him as like, character trailers for each member.

Like Egg and Soldier would be Hodgkins' song because not only is he single-minded on his love of engineering to the point of being manipulative and uncaring to characters like Edward the Booble if it were a means to an end to help his project or unintentionally putting someone like Moominpappa at arm's length despite his clear admiration for him, I imagine that short-sightedness ran in the family so to say. I have this very vivid imagination for that song, like the intro, first verse and first chorus would be Hodgkins on his way to watch a stage performance by his lost brother, and then he recreates that when the lyrics repeat because he too, despite his terribly grandiose size compared to most people including his brother, is still a small man trying to attain big dreams by climbing that proverbial beanstalk to be amid the giants who don't really care for him.

Tardigrade would be Joxter's song as he sings about all the frivolous things he would do if he was as deathless as a tardigrade, but in the end he still very much likes a lazy lifestyle of drinking whiskey and wearing socks on his feet. Other Cosmo songs I've imagined as Joxter songs are the Cuckoo Song and his cover of Tom Waits' Green Grass.

Axolotl reminds me alot of Moominpappa and his journey to try and make something of himself after a childhood of being dismissed and isolated by his caretaker and peers, the line of "I'll build a home at sea" particularly reminds me of Moominpappa at Sea where he quite literally tries to make a home out of the lighthouse despite everything seemingly working against him. (I have a whole character playlist for him by the way, here's the link)

Muddler.... Muddler is my absolute favorite with a playlist of 99 songs but I can't really pin down a Cosmo song for him besides Did Don't Do by his side-band, Don't. I imagine the chaotic and patchwork nature of a song like Hocking would fit him in terms of vibes quite well but I've yet to really find a song that really speaks to Muddler in the ways of lyricism...

For Cosmo songs that are generally for the whole crew I imagine Old Ocean, Birthday Suit and Does the Swallow Dream of Flying work very well as songs for the imaginary trailers I have for a Moominpappa's Memoirs adaptation, lmao.

Also, as an honorary member of the Oshun Oxtra, the whole First Band On The Moon album by the Cardigans is SO Mymble Jr.
