Definitely gonna try this one day!!!
My dear Cheshire got me into the Moomins a few years back, primarily the comics and what I could read of the books (I still need to get my hands on a physical copy of them, dangit cost of living! -shakes fist-).
Anyway, Snufkin is extremely relatable to me and basically lives the life I dream about living so after finally deciding to binge watch all I could of them I decided to see if there were any recipes for the soups and stews he makes in the show. And tada! There is!
It’s the most Finnish recipe I’ve ever cooked but it came out pretty damn bomb with some tweaking, if I do say so myself.
I figured others might like it too, since he’s become so popular here, so here’s my version of it:
6 carrots 1 large onion 2 tbsp oil 3 cups water 1 vegetable broth cube 3 tablespoons of wild rice 1 cup of heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste.
Pinch of thyme for each bowl.
1. Peel and slice the vegetables, stir them together with oil in a large sauce pan over high heat. I left my carrots in big chunks because I’m a New Englander and that’s how I like my potatoes in chowder but if you do that I recommend cooking them for about five to ten minutes with a cover over them all on their own before adding the onions because they came out a bit tough in the center for me. Cook, stirring consistently, until onions are golden and slightly transparent. 1.5. While veggies are cooking, bring water to a boil in a medium to large pot.
You know you have the right sized onion if it’s roughly the size of Little My’s head.
2. When water is boiling and veggies are mostly cooked, add vegetable broth cube to the water. Stir broth, add vegetables to the pot once they’re ready (careful of splash back!).
3. Now add the rice, stirring continuously, for around 30 minutes or more depending on the rice you used. Mine took about 40 minutes because I added wild rice to mine instead of white or brown.
4. Bring to a gentle simmer and add the cream. Stir continuously over low heat, remove from heat when it reaches desired thickness.
5. Serve in your favorite bowl with a pinch of salt, pepper and thyme to taste! You can also try green onion or a similar veggie/spice of your liking but I think the thyme is the perfect addition to not overwhelm things. <3
6. Share a bowl with your favorite Moomin! It is a Snufkin soup after all!
And there ya go! :D A delicious dish, straight from Moomin Valley! (or the farmer’s market/Stop ‘n Shop, whichever is closest. ;3)
I’m sobbing. This song fits Snufkin so well wtf
somethin’ soft for the soul.

Okay so we know, thanks to some pictures of the deleted “crowley trying to sleep on the wall” scene, that Crowley actually sleeps in like a full pajama set (black silk!) which is totally contrary to most of the fandoms headcanons of him sleeping naked/mostly naked.
SO, may i proposition the fandom for a new one?
that it is, in fact, aziraphale, who sleeps in the nude.
and probably takes up the whole damn bed like a starfish.
and has the sheets and blankets chaotically twisted and mostly pushed off.
meanwhile crowley is in his cozy and modest jammies, tucked in all nice and neat beneath the blankets, probably taking up as little space as possible.
i take criticism in the form of fanart kthanks
I’ve spent so many hours on this. It’s not even done yet either.
Okay, so I’ve made some changes to my snufmin kids. One of which is I added another child who is Longtail/Oakley’s twin brother.
Fang has had an update to his personality and habits. He now smokes literally anything he can grind up. He switches between using a pipe or cigarettes. His clothing as stayed pretty much the same however his hat now has a pocket on it which he will store herbs and cigarettes inside. He stichted this on himself after smoking some less than legal herbs. He is also a year older making him 16 instead of 15. His brothers are also now a year older making them 14. Fang also has 2 earnings on his left ear now and I may give him some form of tail jewellery. Fang also has deep blue eyes that match his coat and hat. As for his personality, Fang is relaxed, chilled out, social, hardworking, but also lazy. He’s kind and helpful as well as happy. He’s at one with the world and doesn’t let things get to him.
Now Oakley has changed in personality too as well as his appearance. As shown in the picture of him and his twin, Longtail now is primarily brown with his secondary colour being white. His secondary colours are around his snout down to his collarbone, paws, feet and tip of his tail. He has no white on his back (brown eyes). Now for his personality. In the beginning Longtail was shy and lazy but now he is quite the opposite. Because he and Fang are so close he actually used his older brother as a role model. He’s now confident (but a little bit shy still because he’s not all to brave), enjoys traveling every now and then, energetic and a bit of a jokester. He enjoys pulling pranks on his twin brother and teases him a lot. Although if he upsets him he’s always ready to make up for it and apologise.
Now for the newest addition to the Snufmin family, Alastair-Woodburn aka Alistair/Woody depending on the person. Alistair is an odd character. He has a bit of OCD and collects thing he probably shouldn’t. He is very picky about people’s, as well as his own, fur. If a part is uneven he has gets uncomfortable and will have the urge to fix it. It’s not uncommon for him to actually go ahead and cut or smooth down people’s hair/fur is it is out of place or in need of a cut. Most of Moominvalley have become accustomed to his antics. (He later becomes an infamous fur-dresser/barber). The strange thing about Alastair is that he actually collects the fur he trims form others and himself and actually uses it to creat coats and other clothing for people who don’t have fur (or for himself to just admire). He takes pride in what he does even if Longtail and Fang think he’s a bit weird in what he does. They nickname him Pamp which they shorten from pamperer because Alastair pampers himself quite a bit. He’s very fond of high hygiene and manners. He sometimes comes off as posh and snobby to new people. Despite his distaste of poor hygiene, Alastair is willing to camp in the woods for a few days and get muddy due to him being used to traveling with his family when he was young. However now he stays home during winter and rarely travels far out of the valley. Finally, Alastair has a white snout and body with brown paws and tail tip. He almost looks as if he is wearing an executioner’s hood as his brown fur runs down his neck and between his shoulder blades (he also had brown eyes).
