Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago.
I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.
Moomin mugs are like 50% of the fandom.
They are collectors items, rare ones can go for hundreds of euros.
I don't collect anything, except for years. I do enjoy the artwork, though, and the memories that come with it.
I see no rules about the format of the moomin content. Just needs to be moomin :)
The best kind of rule! Haha

I can only imagine. Sometimes I fantasize about running away and becoming Snufkin, but then, don't we all?
Honestly, I thought I was the only one, and I was always fearful of admitting this... I am among family here, it seems.
The Moomins are wonderful.
They achieve a tone in media I only experienced again with Bee and Puppycat.
A depiction of a fantastical reality that is mundane and comfortable in all the best ways.
And they haven't gone overboard with the fantastical world, either. And that's not an easy feat to achieve!
I've never heard of Bee and Puppycat, but it looks super cute!
