Melody Of Moominvalley - Tumblr Posts
So I finshed Melody of Moominvalley and just look at themššš
And no I can't be normal about them, I love Toffle so goddamn much (He is literally me)
Finally got to play the game and I love it!!
First look at Hyper Gamesā Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley!!!! š¶
Redraw of this scene from Melody of Moominvalley, these two are just too cute.
The Snoots... The... Snuuts...?

Snufkinās fabulous boots. Where can I find them boots he be jumping, climbing and running thatās some sturdy boots.
Okay so Iām absolutely loving Moominvalley (2019) itās been amazing especially after playing Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley because Iām learning the lore as I go and itās been absolute blast!! (Iām on episode 8 btw so preferably not a lot of spoilers) but hereās some of my thoughts and feelings if you wish to read!
You can definitely tell that Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley was made with a lot of love and being able to connect peices from both mediaās is such a treat and gives me a better appreciation for the show ^-^
I love how the hatterfattiers travel in odds probably to keep themselves from sparking off!
I loved Snufkin and Little Myās dynamic, it was chaotic but also pretty endearing at times (I want more of them playing music together, and just more screen time with them both. They perfectly represent my remaining brain cells)
At first I wasnāt a huge fan of Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll being together but theyāve really grown on me. Other than the fact that Moomintroll is kinda fumbling with how he treats her, itās a little bit painful to watch. I kinda hope they work it out but my gut just has āØthe bad feelingsāØ
Little my is an absolute menace and itās either for good reason or just to cause problems, I love the inner guessing game I have whenever she pops up on the screen!! Sheās probably my favourite character.
I understand that Snufkin leaves Moominvalley during the winter but like where does he go?? Because my immediate thought was āoh he just goes into the unknown or something kinda similar probably, heād fit in pretty greatā like yea probably but babes, that means every winter he lays down and is like āyep this looks like a pretty great spot to just decompress and decompose, anyway good nightā and just hangs out there for 3-5 months.
Anyways TL;DR I donāt have anyone else to talk to about this new little brain rot of mine, so Iām gonna word vomit here! and thank you to anyone who took time to read this <3 and please let me know your thoughts and feelings on this show, or any fun facts!!
Okay immediately episode 8 and 11 are probably my favourite episodes of Moominvalley (2019) Iām so glad I started watching it!!
The Groke is HORRIFYING I DONT GET HOW CALM SNUFKIN WAS.
āthe only thing to fear here, is fear itselfā
like BABES NO SHE WAS ACTUALLY A BIT SCARY, I HATED HER SOUND DESGIN AND HER CONSTANT STARING. That just makes her appearance in the game all the more horrifying, because it told me the prompt to run RIGHT BEOFRE she was introduced.
Snufkin running out of social battery was quite relatable to me, but itās so sweet how he still immediately went to help Moomin and Sniff out. The ice skating scene was beautiful! I love the music and animation for it!! It was so delightful and filled me with some whimsy!!
My god the ending of 11 kinda got me a little bit until
āwas I your best friend?ā
āYes! Well after snufkinā
and the fact he turned green, poor Moomin is gonna has PTSD from the colour.
And I loved the āspirits and how to mix themā joke and how ever so casually Moominpapa was like ānope itās not Those kind of spiritsā
Man Ninny also hits me way to close to home too and I appreciate that they gave her multiple non-verbal ways of communication, OH MY GOD IM READY NOW NO WAY IM GONNA SOB I DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS THE CONTEXT FOR IT BUT IRONICALLY I USE THAT SONG TO HELP RECOVER AFTER A MELTDOWN
(If you couldnāt guess this was written in the moment, while i too was having a moment.)
Anyways if you canāt tell Iāve finished season one and itās safe to say Iām hooked and I need more. But thank you for reading my delightful little brain rot, and Iāll be sure to update more as we go because thereās still so much to see!!
So Iāve finished Moominvalley season 2 (2019) and my god I loved it but it hurt me so much in return holy wow. Anyway if youād like some of my thoughts about it feel free to keep reading ^-^
(fair warning itās a lot longer than I thought itād 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 āhm it sounds like something by cavetownā¦This should be fineā
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 wouldāve 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 āØEMPATHYāØ my god that was amazing, especially with how Moominpapa and Little My were like āew get away from meā
I love how the Groke is now just becoming a more casual part of the community especially with the trial episode, like donāt get me wrong theyāre still uneasy with her presence but they still wanted to give her a fair trial and everything.
Ooooh no the āØThe bad feelingsāØ 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 Iām glad that Moomintroll is beginning to learn that heās 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 donāt involve getting divorced, itās 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 šš© it brings me so much joy because there was a good chunk of time where thatās all Iād 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 wouldnāt 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 āThe Moomin Familyā for the kid.
āHave you checked his bedroom yet?ā
āNaturally c:ā
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, Itās even sadder that Moomintroll (seemingly) isnāt 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, Iām 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!!
Hereās that part 2 of my Moominvalley season 3 ramble? That I promised!! A couple of days ago but shhhhhhhh
Moominpapa really was just trying to see if he could get away with murder, while also looking for a possible business opportunity and honestly? Respect the hustle.
I also love that Cedric is from Ms.Fillyjonk and it also gives a timeline to Melody of Moominvalley, Iām sure Iām probably late to realising that itās a post season game but shhhh
Oh my god theyāve got some pipes and the whole musical number was really sweet, I really have grown to like Ms.Fillyjonk and I want that song either extended or put on Spotify but I kinda want both, as a little treat >:))
Iām glad that once again Moomin is trying to learn boundaries with Snufkin itās kinda fair that he is trying to not be in Snufkins space too much and help out where he can but simultaneously god damn poor Snufkin heās just trying to chill and check on toofle and BOOM EMPLOYENT.
I did love him and the Hemulens dynamic that episode it was so sweet how much they both cared about the children at the park, also once again didnāt realise that pretty much all the employed people of Moominvalley are Hemulens. That kinda cool because like they donāt really have a finical system or at least one thatās necessary, so they can literally just have whatever job they want and Iām kinda jealous.
Also it seems my boyfriend is actually enjoying it quite a bit and might actually watch the full thing!! And he immediately noticed that something was off about the hattifattner and I was so happy about that.
āI donāt know the meaning of the wordā
Without missing a beat they said.
āOh trust me. We know.ā
āYou didnāt give up on your dream, you just shelved itā
Cue us both looking at each other and laughing our asses off, itās super fun watching it with someone else!!
Snufkin made his one on screen appearance in Moominmamaās dream and we were both ready for him to be halfway down the beach, like he did last time he talked to Moominmama god it was hilarious. If I ever figure out how to make a gif I promise ill add it here
Iām so proud of myself for the timing of us watching the last episode, we watched it the day of the eclipse happened and shockingly Sniff was the only one smart enough to wear sunglasses.
I also loved that Snorkmaiden was going to be the one who did the midsummers spell (I know it was with Moomintroll too but shh) and ended up also showing little my and I canāt lie and say that I wasnāt hoping that it would show eachother (theyāve kinda grown on me as a ship)
Snork was a delightful character and Iām absolutely devastated by the unfortunate passing of Chance Perdomo may he rest in peace (I apologise I wasnāt too sure where to put this in the post)
The ending of season 3 was actually really sweet and Iām so glad that we are getting a season 4 soon, I canāt wait to see how they make me consider getting therapy!! But thank you for reading this! And I hope you have a wonderful day/night/time!!
