everyone’s arcs in moominvalley in november are so fascinating and raw:

toft’s a lonely child who’s formed a parasocial relationship with the “perfect” mother, and must learn to let go of his damaging mindsets such as catastrophising and viewing people’s lives as black and white in order to share a healthy space with others

snufkin’s becoming dangerously close to shifting from introverted to self-isolating, and may have taken his relationships for granted by becoming complacent with, and unable to reciprocate or recognise, unconditional love

the hemulen being stuck in a rut with worsening depression has resulted in him attempting to force himself into other people’s seemingly more interesting lives, rather than making himself happy pursuing his own interests

the fillyjonk’s traumatic experience temporarily destroys her love for something, and while recovering from it, she at the same time loosens up her anxious, domineering behaviour and is able to socialise with others instead of shooing them away

mymble

grandpa grumble’s battle with cognitive decline ends with him confronting his mortality and accepting the simple pleasures he does have, rather than wasting that time bitterly envying and romanticising the concept of youth

#moomin #mymble existing in that story purely to vibe is so funny #I guess she's the ideal hedonistic goal. the true carefree life that the others don't have and she's their to contrast their problems #but it's also great how amongst this ongoing quiet trauma she's just in a fridge eating pickles
