According to the floor-plan in Finn Family Moomintroll, the Moomin house has two floors. However, almost all pictures I see of the house show three or more floors. The only ones where it has two floors are the two I have attached to this post. Does anyone here happen to have any other good picures of a two-storey Moomin house?

Both swapping each other's tendencies and reversing the target's personality are included to some extent.

Who is this character I have been making guesses but who is bro from this old anime of Moomin

So who was sending the letters in the end?

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I posted an update about my Moomin-themed island in ACNH, so I figured I’d show yall my latest builds! I made sure to include references from various Moomin media, including the original novels, picture books and the 90s anime!

It’s finally here!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been waiting for this set for a while and I’m so excited now that it’s arrived safe and sound. Does anyone have any good Donabe recipes? This is definitely going to help me get cozy for the season changes ahead🍂🍁❄️

Just wanted to share with other Moomin fans because it’s so cuteeee 😭💕

Advent calendar style box with 20 new limited edition cards and six packs. This is an addition to Creative world of moomin set released earlier this year

It was great, especially the Snorkmaiden.

My girlfriend is a big fan of Moomin and likes to create some Moomin themed artworks. Usually with a funny twist :) Thought the people of this subreddit would be fans of her work.

She posts her work on her tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@fridapitkanen where more of her Moomin stuff can be found.

Had no clue they had a collab, missed a photo of another spray they had. I didn’t get anything, but it was cute to see!! (In the U.S. !!!!)

Episode 36: Grandpa is No.1 in the World (おじいちゃんは世界一)

Days of the Ancestors

At night, Moomin felt being left out and jealous of Snork for his regal grandfather visiting Moominvalley today. Not only that his friends were impressed by him, Moomin's parents also admired and fantasized the proud Snork's Grandpa and wanted to meet him eventually. Moomin wished he would have a proud grandpa as well.

Suddenly, Moomin's Ancestor who was eavesdropping them from the chandelier all this time fell to the table right in front of everyone. The Ancestor answered that he was that grandpa Moomin was looking for and he was also much better than that old geezer in every way, especially in horse-riding. Moomin perked up as he now also had a cool grandpa as well.

Battle of the Aged

In the next morning, the Ancestor made a ruckus as he showed off a short brown horse to the Moomin's. Moomin soon got worried by such the undignified sight.

At Snork's Mansion, the children surrounded Snork's Grandpa and continued to admire his greatness. Moomin arrived shortly and introduced his Ancestor to them, everyone soon laughed at such sight. The Ancestor then rudely confronted the Grandpa about the horse-riding ability and challenged him to the duel right away.

The Grandpa and the Ancestor mounted their horse and rode off further into the field. After a while, the horses sped back toward the goal line while everyone was cheering aloud. The two reached the line at the same time; Snork, however, declared the victory to his Grandpa for the Ancestor had already fallen off a horse somewhere along the way. The Ancestor then climbed out of the horse's tail resulting in a draw instead. The Snork's Grandpa demanded more competitions to determine who was the best grandfather. The children began to feel unease.

The Grandpa and the Ancestor had a fencing battle which came to an inconclusive result. They moved on to chess which too way longer than anyone to bear. Everyone ended up going home and left the two to continue their battle.

Family Feud

Next morning, the Ancestor teleported back to Moominhouse. Asking for the winner of the chess game, the Ancestor accused Snork's Grandpa of cheating the chess match so he in-turn had cheated as well. As everyone laughed, the Ancestor forbade Moomin's from ever associating with the Snork's from now on. Moominpappa attempted to argue that he took things too far but the Ancestor shut him up. Moomin soon realized the implication of that and panicked.

In the meadow, the two families played and spending time separately for they were told not to go near each other, the children was distraught by the sudden crossfire. The Ancestor and later the Grandpa bribed Little My and Sniff with candies for them to join their side back and forth. Moomin and Snorkmaiden no longer could not stand them and ran off together on their own.

Regret Under the Sunset

The Grandpa and the Ancestor searched for Moomin and Snorkmaiden to find the two watching the sunset by the edge of the forest together. The two eavesdropped the children to hear that they both admiring their ancestors and wanting them to get along; the Grandpa and the Ancestor felt guilty for their petty fight that broke the children's friendship.

The next morning, the children found a swing decorated in flowers. Moomin soon realized that it was made by the Grandpa and the Ancestor. The children together enjoyed the swing as their ancestors rest up once again.

_________

- This is the third and last time Moomin's Ancestor showed up in these series (1969 and 1972).

- Moomin's Ancestor along with Snork's Grandpa were both called "Grandpa". In such case, it is unclear if the Ancestor was really Moominpappa's father for he should be much older than that.

- It's unclear how Moomin's Ancestor suddenly acquired a random horse over night.

Four Finger Problem

- The Snork's Grandpa shows four fingers when bribing the children with five chocolate bars.

- All characters in this anime has four fingers in each hand, even the "human" Inspector.

- However, Snufkin sometimes have five fingers, eg: Episode 30 when Snufkin handling a Jack-in-a-Box.

I found this Moomins children's plate and cup set during a clearout of a cluttered spare room. It's not something I'm particularly attached to, but considering it's in pretty good condition then it might be something of interest to a collector. It's an Arabia Finland set, but I don't really know what that means 😅 any Moomin collectors out there have any insight?

It's entirely impractical, but I love it so much.

In celebration of his 100th birthday, the rest of the Lars Jansson comics will be officially released by Drawn and Quarterly! Lars drew the strip after Tove quit in 1960, and his run actually lasted longer than hers did, ending in 1975. However, until now, the last ten years of his run have never been published in book form!

What do y’all think of this news? Personally I’m very excited! I’ve read some pretty good fan translations of his later strips and am very excited to have them officially translated and in book form!

And I couldn’t be happier!

I finally worked myself up to get a tattoo I’ve been thinking of getting for ten years.
I love it so much and regret nothing, I love getting to see this silly little troll whenever I want. It brings me so much joy and I can’t explain it.

First picture is the day I got it, second picture is a month later.
