Season 3 Of Moominvalley (2019) Once Again Is Banger After Banger And Has Honestly Become A Show That

THIS ABSOLUTELY THIS MY GOD. I love that he goes from a stray starved cat to a happy fat old indoor cat

moar fat caleb. he has tried every single kind of soup that the kryn has to offer. by the time jester and fjord have a kid he's very solidly the picture of kindly uncle. he goes shopping in zadash and someone briefly mistakes him for another pumat clone.

i love the fat caleb agenda so much. the idea hes so big that even pumat would see him and make jokes that they're the same size? thats one big ginger wizard especially one who's human and started out starving! i said it in the last fat caleb ask but he would truly thrive as the professor stereotype that involves sweet middle aged men that do Not remotely fit into the tweed jackets they wear to their classes, but somehow it stays on anyway. he gets home and essek rushes to take it off him to admire him with that soft purple gaze.

I’m currently suffering hay fever from the seasons (essentially pre-winter to freeze and die winter) and I have a bone to pick with Snufkin because how is he hawling his ass to get to Moominvalley ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING. like sweet lord how is he not just a sniffling, red eyed, mopy, teary mess of a man with two tissues shoved up his nose. I’m dying because I dared to wake up and needed to breathe and that man is GOING ON A HIKE. WILLINGLY.

Like shit Moomintroll you got yourself a dedicated mans right there.

Or maybe he does suffer with the sniffles, he just waits till he set up camp and sits down in his tent. then BOOM tears just explode out of his face and the violent sneezing begins and if anyone goes to check on him he’s just like “oh yea I’m wonderful, the first day of spring in Moominvalley always gets me a little teary eyed”

Had my first one EVER this year and honestly I’m so mad that it took me so long but better late then never!! Happy holidays to all and take care of yourselves!!

Cracking one of these bad bois open & sharing with my mutuals

'Tis the season

I hardly see any otgw head cannons on here so I just wanna chuck in my own two cents ^-^

Wirt and Greg are both ‘I listen to everything’ kinda dudes but in completely opposite ways. Wirt has a couple of playlists for general moods with all different kinds of artists/songs. With them all making sense on why it’s on said playlist (basically little bit of everything but with preferences)

Greg on the other hand…just a liked playlist. That’s it and Wirt hates it

Greg would 1000% have only funky patterned socks and just so happens to some for every occasion and reason imaginable

For Halloween following after the unknown. Greg, Wirt and Sara would run a little haunted house type of thing based on their experiences in the unknown, and it actually is a huge hit which both excites yet horrifies the trio as they don’t know how to expand on it

Wirt swears he’s seen someone that looks like how he’d imagine Beatrice to look but can never get the nerve to talk to her.

Jason funderburker (the person) would eventually just be called jason by Greg and possibly Wirt as he isn’t the true jason funderburker and he’s kinda accepted that fact.

I’ll probably post more if I can think of them or if anyone wants more of them but thanks for reading

I ran into a friendly traveler on my way

I love Greg and snufkin chilling out so much they’re all so stinking cute holy moly I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

I can't be stopped, I made more while streaming OTGW in the background. @tamtamandtim thanks for the suggestion with the tavern keeper! seriously, the OTGW characters are so fun to draw

watching it again reminded me Wirt plays clarinet, oops, drew him with the wrong instrument last time. i'll just have to make another one, oh what a shame 🙃

I imagine Snufkin encourages Wirt to read his poetry to Sara while playing background music, hahahah

I had hazel for 5 minutes and I was ready to ride and die for them I SWEAR-

My friend got me to play monster roadtrip and my poor gay self--

🤫

That time Matt had to "How do I want to do this?" himself

caduceus is autistic evidence post :-)

*not an actual theory post, jus headcanons based on canon scenes + some extra thoughts too just kidding im right

Monotone voice, basically never shouts.. like when he said “i dont mean to raise my voice” after speaking at the exact same level consistently..

Kinda talks in a mumbly way and stutters a lot

The way he very often has a very blank, kinda-smiling expression when people are talking to him.. audio processing face

Doesn’t get a lot of jokes, or when he’s being flirted with. also the jokes he does get (and find very funny) are usually very specific (and about death probably, which weirds out tmn a bit lol) or he has to process them for a moment before understanding, which has happened a lot.. he’s like :-3? …. :-0 oh :-D !

Also, a few times he has laughed at odd/inappropriate times. kinda just at nothing or something no one else was laughing at. which is apparenlty quite common for autistic folks to do, bc of like getting a bit lost in ur own thoughts and think of funny things etc…..

Sorta related (to jokes, and things), but he takes so many things literally. like that time when beau jokingly asked if he’d ever met a ghost that didn’t need punching and he thought about it until he had an answer :’). and also when beau said to fjord (about cad) “like, he was living in the middle of the cemetery” and cad was like “Of course i was, thats where the temple is, the middle of the cemetery”. 

He notices EVERYTHING… all these tiny details and noises no one else hears… this happens to me and so i have decided to project this onto cads super high perception. 

In Darktow he had to leave that tavern/bar because it got too loud for him and he got stressed n went and sat outside until fjord came looking for him. (also the “lets keep this.. between the amigos” “which part of the body is the amigos?” thing jksnfkjs)

Also that one time in Rexxentrum that he had a bad perception roll? matt described the city and all the colours and shapes being too overwhelming (to the point of almost vertigo) to think clearly and spot where they needed to go.

He says the same phrases A Lot. (which i have recently found out is called Scripting, and applies to a bunch of things.. mostly used by autistic folks to get through conversations.) “that’s nice”,“thats really nice”, “thats so cool”. “that was a lot” are th most common ones i think. he uses them in some instances that are very high emotion too. like, he’ll almost die and then say “wow… that was. that was a lot.” 

Also repeats back new phrases or words he likes (“worth their salt” and “fracas”) ..the echolalia of it all. 

also a moment in the pirate arc where he uses the word “astute” while talking to beau before admitting that he heard someone else say it and is just copying someone and trying to use it too. luckily he used it correctly (and then him and beau both awkwardly run off to do their own things).

Struggles to express emotions outwardly.. for example: he just repeats “thats nice” etc. about everything he likes and loves. the mushroom cookbook jester gives him for example. also he barely makes eye contact with her in that scene and doesnt rly know what to do or say because mushroom! cookbook! thats so nice :’)

and also! he doesn’t rly express when he’s uncomfortable, even when he is Deeply deeply uncomfortable, like in the arboretum. He just quietly said they needed to get out, put his head down and didn’t look at the trees, even though he was visibly super shaken. just had to get out of there. (this was of course partly some kind of trauma response too, but it also read as very nd to me)

Also him having a panic attack on the boat, when his entire world view got thrown off.. i choose to think its bc autistic folks tend to think rly black-and-white, rly absolute, a lot of the time. so in this case its “following the destined path of the wildmother” vs “completely off-track and all a huge mistake and should never have left home and its all gone wrong”

Also i think he finds sudden changes scary. he was super shaken about the nein just stealing a whole boat unplanned…and other things similarly unplanned. idk it just had the vibes of if someone took away your routine and everything familiar… and you’re just like free-floating. its hard to function like that 

Also related to that… doesnt like when there isn’t a plan n gets stressed about it. also often the first person to ask the nein to clarify exactly what they’re all going to do/make a plan. (first thing he asks jester when she comforts him on the boat is “miss jester, do you have a plan?” and she doesn’t and never has.. he doesnt really get that vry much

He really struggles to explain things that are upsetting to him. tries to speak but can only get th same few words out. yea ik he is super emotionally repressed but i am also looking autistically. 

He doesn’t really understand if people are insulting him. like king dwendal and also eadwulf both said rude things to him and he just replied as polite as he could even tho he was confused.

Cant help himself, gotta correct people about things he knows more about (special interest energy….). like when beau called his graveyard a cemetery and he corrected and explained the difference :’ )

the way he re-explains how his tea grows when its mentioned too. and that he’s a maker of fine graves and the work his family does. its like his wee script every single time . he rly cares abt it

Also just his particular brand of strange just reads very autisticly to me. (even his own family think he’s odd. sidenote: clarabelle is autistic too bc i say so.) the way he says odd little phrases that don’t quite make sense and things to plants. the way he says what he thinks, to the point of being rude and blunt and invasive sometimes. the way he doesnt give a shit and just wears what he likes. idk :’) makes me happy.

Oh, and relating to him being blunt. I think that a few scenes when he’s said questionable things or given questionable advice is emblematic of that… he says a literal solution. or a solution that makes sense (to his worldview.. faith the the wildmother) and is technically an option, but he doesn’t quite understand the emotional side of why someone does something, or doesn’t do it.

He’s good at fitting into EMT or wise-old-sage mode and outside of that he’s just, kind of awkward and spacey (and silly). like, when his script or role is taken away he tends to flounder a bit. or a lot, sometimes. and just says stuff and seems just as baffled abt what he said too.

Said bluntness and inability to see when his advice is appropriate or not also means that sometimes he is just rude.. he does'nt mean to be but he sometimes oversteps or is just vry blunt in a way that offends people, and doesn’t seem to entirely realise either

Just some headcanons but. i think he special interests tea, cooking, and all things surrounding death/burial… he always has things to say about those topics and i think thats neat.

he’s so tired a lot of the time, he says it kind of often . which, disability coded to meee. other things but i think also his brain hurts from everything all the time. adjusting . noise. adjusting.

i just know he loves ritual. in making tea, in cooking, in religion and prayer, in gardening, in communing etc etc etc

And lastly, he pat the moss. because :-) stimmy
