IM SO HAPPY RN LIKE HOLY WOW THIS IS GIVING ME SO MUCH JOY I ALSO FEEL LIKE GREG AND SNUFKIN WOULD BE

Homeboy gonna get scoliosis so fast

exhibit a: laundry day

it puts his balance off a bit but i think he'd rather do that than set it down

So I’ve finished Moominvalley season 2 (2019) and my god I loved it but it hurt me so much in return holy wow. Anyway if you’d like some of my thoughts about it feel free to keep reading ^-^

(fair warning it’s a lot longer than I thought it’d be)

Episode 2 the fire spirit got me so bad in my feelings and even funnier yet I could tell it would by not only the title and thumbnail but the second I heard the song by cavetown I literally was like ‘hm it sounds like something by cavetown…This should be fine’

oh how wrong I was because of how it ended with the little fire spirit sacrificing itself to save Moominvalley and how upset Snufkin was, he seemed to be pretty attached to the lil goober when the gang dropped it off.

So having his care and attempts to protect it, be basically for nothing would’ve been soul crushing for him.

Holywow I loved how the Hobgoblin and Sniff were just bouncing off eachother so well. Then the Hobgoblin giving Sniff ✨EMPATHY✨ my god that was amazing, especially with how Moominpapa and Little My were like “ew get away from me”

I love how the Groke is now just becoming a more casual part of the community especially with the trial episode, like don’t get me wrong they’re still uneasy with her presence but they still wanted to give her a fair trial and everything.

Ooooh no the ✨The bad feelings✨ I was having about Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll were riiiighttttt. Moomintroll seemed more angry about having to leave the valley (and Snufkin by association) than leaving Snorkmaiden to the point he was unintentionally hurting her. Twice. Technically thrice if you include the fact they broke up. But I’m glad that Moomintroll is beginning to learn that he’s gonna have to accept a couple of things about Snufkin, if he ever wants him to stay. But still kinda hurts a bit.

I loved that Moominpapa and Moominmama have character arcs that don’t involve getting divorced, it’s refreshing and sure they still fight and have moments being mad at eachother but at the end of the day they still love each other and honestly? I love them for that.

Ah Moominpapas midlife crisis, I hope that I can be able to just pack up and go when I hit mine. Sounds like the dream honestly and I wish I could be as creative as Moominmama, just painting the walls with no worries.

I also LOVED the sea shanties just 👌😩 it brings me so much joy because there was a good chunk of time where that’s all I’d listen too.

The last episode though also gave me a gut punch because of the fact Snufkin came back before he left for the winter, and that he just welcomes himself in because he knows that they wouldn’t mind him being there, regardless of if they are or not. I hate it here. Snufkin you found family fuck. And that everyone there played ‘The Moomin Family’ for the kid.

“Have you checked his bedroom yet?”

“Naturally c:”

of course you have you absolute loser I love you for that. Seeing him get so excited about possibly finding HIS letter, only to be disappointed was devastating too.

Oh but the puppet show, oh when I tell you I almost cried, It’s even sadder that Moomintroll (seemingly) isn’t going to back to Moominvalley. Also my heart dropped to my ass when they almost lit the fire with the ancestors inside, but Snufkin excitedly finding the note inside the fireplace? Put my heart right back in my throat

But more lightheartedly damn Snufkin has got some moves and seeing everyone close to the Moomin family looking back at their time and memories together fondly was so incredibly sweet.

Anyways TL;DR a super strong season that got me right in the feels every time, I’m so excited to be able to start the 3rd season soon!! But thank you so much for reading this! I hope you have a wonderful day, night or time and take care!!

I had hazel for 5 minutes and I was ready to ride and die for them I SWEAR-

My friend got me to play monster roadtrip and my poor gay self--

Dude I’m so hype for this season you don’t understand IM GONNA BE SO POOR AND IM OKAY WITH IT

Some more otgw head cannons if you please (Sorry it’s been a literal year for these bad boys)

For the first little while after getting home, Greg would be hesitant to sleep in his room without having several night lights on, so one day while Greg is out of the house. Wirt puts a bunch of those glow in the dark stars on the ceiling of Greg’s room, it’s safe to say the gesture was appreciated.

Sara would be a fan of baking little treats for her friends birthdays. Which is something Wirt absolutely adores about her and it’s a good excuse for them to spend time together while Greg ‘helps’

Greg likes to customise random items he owns, either by painting them or adding a little ✨something✨ to give them a little more character (for a long time it was just a crude caricature of Jason funderberker)

Wirt would probably collect taxidermy and give them names either related to poets or someone he meet in the unknown with one of his favourites being a Agrias beatifica viso he named Beatrice.

Wirt would often re-arrange his room because of his intrest of interor design which wouldn't be an issue by his parents, if he did it at a resonable time insted of the middle of the night, while quietly humming songs to himself during his bouts of insomnia

Sometimes the boys forget if certain things happened in or outside of the unknown and catch eachother slipping up

If either of them have a ‘life flashing before my eyes’ moment they’ll just look to the other and say

“Welp just saw the woodsman, that was lovely. I’m gonna go sit down now”

Ah but a rather (unfortunate) common occurrence with me and my boyfriend

cool thank you

I’m currently suffering hay fever from the seasons (essentially pre-winter to freeze and die winter) and I have a bone to pick with Snufkin because how is he hawling his ass to get to Moominvalley ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. like sweet lord how is he not just a sniffling, red eyed, mopy, teary mess of a man with two tissues shoved up his nose. I’m dying because I dared to wake up and needed to breathe and that man is GOING ON A HIKE. WILLINGLY.

Like shit Moomintroll you got yourself a dedicated mans right there.

Or maybe he does suffer with the sniffles, he just waits till he set up camp and sits down in his tent. then BOOM tears just explode out of his face and the violent sneezing begins and if anyone goes to check on him he’s just like “oh yea I’m wonderful, the first day of spring in Moominvalley always gets me a little teary eyed”

“you’re so sensitive” i was born with a poet’s soul. bitch

they exclusively play on peaceful because wirt is terrified of creepers
