Talk:Moomins

Some info to add to the article

JadedPrism, I found some links on Tumblr moomintrivia about the universe of Moomins, from the point of view of a Finnish reader and fan. About the age of the characters, fun facts about their names (which are different in the original Finnish versions and in the English translations),other facts about the creation of this universe and the author, as well as her relationships with men and women (which influenced her artistic works, both her writings and her paintings). But I'm not sure how to add this in the article you know. If you could help me I would be grateful.

• Moomin characters' ages? (asked by anonymous person)
• Do you mind telling us a little more about the other animated snufkins? Thank you! (asked by anonymous person)
• Are there any canon ages for the characters? I've always thought of Snufkin as being in his early or mid teens, but I'm not sure about the others (asked by anonymous person)
• Hello! Thank you so much for running this fantastic, insightful, and respectful blog about a childhood love that I hadn’t thought about in a long time. You mentioned in a previous previous response that the Joxter doesn’t seem to suffer from the mental issues and stress that Snufkin seems to, and I was wondering what kind of mental issues are those? I watched the 90s show as a child and I remember him as a calm and clear header character so now I am very curious! Thank you so much in advance! (asked by anonymous person)
• So is Joxter just his name or his race/species? And the same with Snufkin? I've read from a couple of sites that they were called Numriks or Mumriks? Or are those wrong? (asked by anonymous person)
• I've heard that the Moomin characters' original Swedish names originally had some wordplay and pun elements in them, but that they were unfortunately totally lost in the English translation.. do you know what words or phrases all of the characters' names come from? And maybe why their English names became so different sometimes? (asked by anonymous person) (this post is interesting because it shows how the Wikipedia translation used in this article puts the character as an old man, when he is not, a translation error from finnish to english, and that may have stimulated the disagreement about the ship between Moomintroll and Snufkin)
• can you tell me about the relationship between snufkin and moomintroll? (asked by anonymous person)
• Short analysis of gender roles in Moomin books

Ah sorry Ellakbhesse, you may want to ask someone else. a) I am at the very least taking a *long* break from working on anything here. But b) I'm not very smart, lol, and I don't know how to implement things. Truth be told, I think these might be received well on a fan page for MoominTrivia, as a list of Meta works they have done. They were already referenced under the agegap section of this page, so I don't think they need to be added to that, in particular, any more. You could probably work this: https://archive.ph/2019.05.15-133252/https://moomintrivia.tumblr.com/post/164710589416/do-you-mind-telling-us-a-little-more-about-the into the canon section! maybe as a reference for the line "many different cartoon series" ? maybe? Yes... I do think perhaps a fanpage is the best solution so people don't feel this is over-saturated with their account. That being said, I am usually wrong about everything :3 good luck! I'm truly sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that! -JadedPrism (talk) 21:46, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
