“The rain fell on his green hat and on his raincoat, which was also green, it pittered and pattered everywhere and the forest wrapped him in a gentle and exquisite loneliness.”

Alright but when are we gonna talk about how the 90’s moomins disrespected the mymble’s daughter SO much AND I AM NOT OKAY WITH IT like
THESE TWO ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON
They remade my weirdass little gremlin into a preppy nice girl. LISTEN, (especially you who haven’t read the books) she may seem responsible and I can admit that she is but only when she’s taking care of little My and that’s only because she doesn’t want to get scolded by her mom I promise. THIS GIRL LIES TO EVERYONE WITHOUT SHAME AND IT’S LITTERALLY THE FIRST THING SHE DOES WHEN SHE’S FIRST INTRODUCED. UNDERNEATH THAT THIN LAYER OF MATURITY SHE IS EXACTLY LIKE LITTLE MY. IF NOT MORE UNHINGHED
And yes you could say ”she was a child back then of course she wasn’t mature” and I can agree BUT THAT DOESN’T CHANGE ANYTHING. Because in my opinion she’s just as unhinghed when we meet her again
In the anime she’s soft spoken and caring with a big heart which is sweet but if book Mymble jr found me with a broken leg I can guarantee that she would give me a few hits on the back and tell me to walk it off (Bc that’s most definitely what she had to do when she was younger) she is very much oldest sibling burnout
She talks shit about everyone with everyone and doesn’t even care she’s a little shit who would gladly shove little My into a box if she wasn’t getting paid for babysitting her.
In moominvalley in november she comes back to the moominhouse to take care of little My again and when she finds out that she’s traveled away with the moominfamily she’s just like ”Oh well” AND GOES DIRECTLY FOR THEIR LIQUOR CABINET
So in conclusion what I’m saying is that anime Mymble jr would drink tea on a calm sunday morning while book Mymble jr would unapologetically chug a whole bottle of perfume on a tuesday night

There are those who stay at home and those who go away, and it has always been so. Everyone can choose for himself, but he must choose while there is still time and never change his mind.

The quiet transition from autumn to winter is not a bad time at all. It's a time for protection and securing things and for making sure you've got in as many supplies as you can. It's nice to gather together everything you possess as close to you as possible, to store up your warmth and your thoughts and burrow yourself into a deep whole inside, a core of safety where you can defend what is important and precious and your very own. Then the cold and the storms and the darkness can do their worst.
- Moominvalley in November (Tove Janssson)
