Apologies if the text is hard to read against this particular background - I didn't notice it at first (I was too focused on the a e s t h e t i c) but I can definitely see that it might be distracting for some people. I've taken note for future videos!
Thanks so much for creating this wonderful presentation ❤️ I'm 56 right now and discovered the Moomins when I was a child - while still living in Poland. They remained my favorite books, ever. For over 30 years now - I live in Canada and the Moomins books are here with me. Just on Friday we were at our summer's cottage and since it was the Midsummer night - I made sure that our place looked extra magical, with lots of twinkle lights and lanterns. We have this wonderful place, about 75 km away from the city, where we are surrounded by forests and have this beautiful fresh water stream going through our property. The forest is alive with all kinds of animals and many of them (raccoons, chipmunks, skunks) visit us. I think that I know how Tove must have felt when she was spending her summers so close to nature. Her stories and her illustrations brought into my life a real sense of magic and really shaped how I interact with nature and how I always try to make my surroundings magical and a bit unreal.. I think Tove and I have lots in common. Both of us are Leos born in August and I also went to an art school - mind you I'm not that talented😁 Both of us have a very sensitive nature. Tove had such a multi-layered personality - looks like she was a very kind person and lived her life to the fullest, despite some limitations in people's minds, at her times. Thanks again and I will follow your channel. Greetings from Ontario 🤗
I could not agree more especially considering the state of world as it currently is, we all need more happy love stories…plus I’m a hopeless romantic so these get me every time
@@thechironinja9357 I hear you! The state of the world is a real situation, even more that usual. I like to think that I stay informed but it seems like every other week someone tells me something wild/insane that I was unaware of. Apparently I’m staying very busy. These sweet stories are such a welcome change of pace and they get me every time too
Omg really nice video with a lot of information! I really appreciate it, and the pictures used are also very useful and cute, thank you so much for sharing!
What a wonderful story! Thank-you for introducing me to Tove and her work and life. You've created such a beautiful ambiance with this video, it's delightful! I love artists and the beauty they bring to this world, very poignant for the times. 🌻🌿 I now understand your desire for Moomin "ink"!💕 😊
I love how you highlight these beautiful lesbian lives and loves…It was the best 15 minute brain break I’ve had all day, your talent is incredible, thank you again
@@00ljy all I do everyday is attempt to prevent chaos and then fix chaos when it occurs, so taking a little time to let it all go every couple hours prevents me from becoming cranky, my employees really don’t like cranky me LOL
@@thechironinja9357 chaos management sounds like an exciting career field 😂 And yeah, you got to keep your staff on your side! Your comment is very relatable. I feel like my greatest work achievements in recent history have been rephrasing expletives to explain how things are going. 😅
@@00ljy expert on the management of chaos would certainly spice up my business profiles LOL…The art of the at work rephrase, that should your new RU-vid channel!!
after reading this story,,i truly believe we do need a woman for president!!!,,amen,,,thank you sapphic,,i did enjoy all the story line,,;;hey,,do have a great week,,;)
Too-Ticky is my favorite character. Such calm, wise, reliable person. I wish, I could meet someone like she in my life. Well, now I understand this amazing character better. Thank you!
Brooo, I've been watching your vids for a while! Commented while back on how cool it is that your videos, much like Hailee Steinfeld, just have the *range*. It makes me immensely happy as a Finnish person to see you bring forward not only the Moomins but the entire context and Tove herself! Just wondering why you chose to make it in a more text-y format lilke this?
In the series we want to see lesbians everywhere even in harmless children's books which as such should not orientate in any way. 😅 It seems a "miracle" that I, despite Peter Rabbit and the comics in the Christian family magazine, have grown up a lesbian and happy! 😱
What do you mean? Tove Jansson based a character on one of her partners who inspired her to write another book and her other work contains allegories about the relationships that she had with women. This isn't seeing things that aren't there, she put herself and the women she loved into her work. Lesbianism also belongs in children's books, the same way that heterosexual relationships are shown in children's book, as long as its age appropriate, there's no difference between the two.
