Snufkin was raised by the Groke, someone he could never hug or be hugged by which led him to having attachment issues later in life... yep, this holds up
Eh. I think Snufkin is a much more interesting character when we 1) don’t understand his backstory, and 2) don’t know what he does when he leaves for the winter.
Well, the Groke *does* symbolize isolation in Moominvalley. 👀✨ So it's a really believable, yet fresh, take on Snufkin's origin. He could have been surrounded by snow his whole life, so that's why he prefers the spring.
I've always assumed that it was most like the Joxter who either left Snufkin or just forgot where he left his kid. I've also heard the theory that maybe his siblings out him in a box and pushed him off somewhere as a prank and Mymble just never noticed. I like seeing a new perspective on this mystery! And I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.😢
I love that interpretation I explained my theory better to a person who pm'd me, so I'll just paste that here: The moomins wasn't originally my fandom, but my sis eventually got me into it lol I had to do a bit of research tho and got sucked in enough to come up with my own fan theory * I now think the Mymble has kids in litters [ kind of like a cat who collects spawn all from different fathers] n gives away a handful of her kids in boxes, kind of like free puppies. Snufkin might have been the last one who didn't get adopted [ that might explain why he was found in a box], however, while this seems like a more in character explanation for the mymble putting her son in a box, I wasn't too familiar with the character personalities and already animated this other version of my theory: The mymble is a 'free spirit' until she starts a relationship with a man, officially tying her down. They both have two kids together, Younger Mymble and Little My. Staying true to her free spirited nature, she eventually falls in love with another, the Joxter, tho this time she is truly smitten by someone. The affair continues until they both have Snufkin. She is then forced to get rid of their child This doesn't translate the best in the animation because it's a wip and I didn't complete the intro sequence, but I hope it comes out better when it is finished❤
@@cookiehusk.3110 Your art is very beautiful, btw! And of course. I have my own baby, a black cat named Salem. I give him extra love and kisses in Treasure's honor.
I dont think joxter is to blame in the new tvv series mymble is so careless and hardly notice who many kids she have she keeps counting em she dont noticed that my stays at the moomins. Im dreamkng about that mymble and joxter didnt mean to abandon him tthat it was on accident. I wonder where joxter is actually....the only show him in his youth. I hope he hasnt left forever I more hope hes out on a quest to find a way to support his family financially or something.
I love this back story of Snufkin, how Joxter and Little My's mom had Snufkin, and then the mom abandoned her son by placing him in the box, and then the groke raised him 💙 👏. That was so cute. Yeah, I'm sorry for your loss.
Oh my gosh! this is amazing! i love the thought of The Groke being the one who found Snufkin. and just- uGH your art is so lovely! also i'm so sorry about your cat i hope you're doing okay
Thank you so much for the kind words❤❤ I am still so so hurt over the loss of my sweet Treasure, but I can at least get out of bed now. I'm seeing an online therapist every Wednesday to cope with the traumatic loss of my dearest friend. Thank you so much for checking in and acknowledging my kitty it means a lot to me I will continue this when I feel stable enough Thank u I appreciate it 💙💙💙💙💙
I'm so sorry for your loss, dear. Our pets hold a special place in our hearts nothing else can ever touch, and it is devastating to have to say goodbye, especially when it is sudden or unexpected. I'm sure your baby knew how much you loved and continue to love them. They're still with you, even if you cannot see them. They're by your side even now. I believe that with my whole heart. ♡ This is absolutely lovely, by the way. What a beautiful little piece of art. Thank you.
I read the description.. I am so sorry :( I hope your recover your health and that your family is doing okay. I loved this wip/animatic, you draw so pretty❤️😊I loved the story you created for Snufkin too it was really beautiful. I wish you luck and lots of love.
I am so sorry to hear about your horribly painful loss. I'm sending warmth even if it can't do much. A peaceful soul with someone who cared for them for so long. You gave them a beautiful gift of kindness and love. Give it to yourself too if you can, I'm so sorry for that pain.
I am so sorry for your loss... I can´t imagine how much it hurted you, I just hope time can cure your wounds and the good memories you made with her help you endure the pain . Rest in peace kitty
You’re art is more than special the expression is so fulfilling and the choices so artistic and gentle while being striking at the same time. You have and extraordinary gift
@@swarnikasingh2647 It's the lesbian flag!! It's the newer version because the original flag's creator doesn't support trans women being lesbians!! Very uncool of them- but this one is cuter anyway!
OH MY GO D I AM LOSING IT!!! I LOVE THIS! Your art style lends SO well to the storytelling and song! Your pacing is absolutely wonderful and it all fits together so so perfectly!! I'm also extremely sorry to hear about your loss and I can't imagine the sort of pain you're going through. I really hope you'll be okay
Beautiful animation with a interesting theory, I realy like your art style and coloring. I keep my fingers crossed for the progress of work :) I am very sorry for your loss, I also recently lost someone, but it will be good. Hold on and take care of yourself❤️
I read the description and I have no words to tell you how much I regret your loss. I know it's almost a year later, but when we lose someone we loved so much, we feel the pain from time to time. So, I send you a big hug and wish you're doing well right now.
Thank you for your understanding. I do feel it from time to time, tho I'm learning to live with the pain and void. You kind words mean a lot to me rn. Thanks again, my friend
Everything interesting is given in the original novels. includeing which kind of tabaco Snufkin smokes. The baby in this animation would be de*d by hypothermia. Even when one ignores the snow, the Gronk would freeze it.
i am so so so sorry for your loss. that sounds so horrible. i had something similar happen to my cat this past summer. it still hurts. i'm really truly sorry. i get it, it's really tough. thank you for sharing this animatic -- it's really inspiring. i hope you feel some peace; nothing was your fault. sending love to you my friend.
I'm here again because I love this so much and it makes me so happy. I hope one day we get to know more about what happened and snufkin origin, i also hope we learn more about joxter. Amazing animatic 💗💗💗
@@cookiehusk.3110 I am enjoying it! It's very comforting in a sense, and I especially love the song chosen it really brings everything together. :0 ooo exciting!!
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss, dear. I wanted you to know that this work of art you've created is absolutely beautiful and stunning and you're SUCH an incredible human being! As soon as you're feeling fell and ready I can't wait to see where this animatic goes and where you will continue to go with such talent! 💚✨
@@cookiehusk.3110 Of course, dear! And if you ever need help with this project or you need anyone to talk to, I'd be absolutely delighted!! Whether you wanted me to help edit your things to save you some stress, or you need someone to vent to, my DMs on Instagram/discord are always open! Have a wonderful day 💚✨
That's a really very very sad backstory for snufkin he was just a baby is so sad it's breaking my heart 💔😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😥😥😥😥😥😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Im getting Snippets that the mom put him in a Box to mail him to the dad but never but never came through. At 1st I thought it was a joke but I'm starting to believe it might be real.
I guess I don't understand... I'm new to this entire like series/franchise and I don't really understand the running theory that Snufkin's parents just abandon him (especially when it's told later on that Mymble is his mother? like she's got 30 other kids but she chooses to specifically abandon Snufkin out of all of them? I don't understand the logic....) THAT ASIDE this is adorable animation. the artwork is so pretty and emotes so much feeling!!!
Plase, please, please read the books! the real Snufkin is so much more and so much more loveabel. the thing I love most about him, is how casual and open he is about kil*ing. I love how he handels his shotg*n, I love how he uses his smokepipe and I love how most people of moomin valley dislike him for being a foreigner. (so he does not come from moomin valley, not even from finland) please rad the books! Reading is obviously good for you/most people in this comment section.
Omg bestie I remember when there was a drive with all the books, I think I only got thru one before it was taken down:( Thank u for all the lovely comments!!💕💕
Hi! I love this animatic and always come back to it every so often, and its inspired me to base a fanfic off of it, only using it as a backstory and building off of it. Would it be ok if I could use the same theory for the backstory for it? I can easily credit you in the description and put a link to not only your channel but also this video too :) It's up to you!
So let me get this straigh Mymble had an affair with Joxter and they had a baby which is Snufkin making him Joxter's only son. Joxter left and Mymble went to abandon snufkin since he wasn't the son of her original partner. Snufkin was found and raised by that creature
Can i make a fanfic about this idea? IDK if the groke raising snufkin is a popular thing or ur own unique idea I wanted to do something similar but not exact of their dynamic but her raising him yea
