Intermission(Spam book!)

Mouth organ

Now that I got your attention from the title...
Even tho I'm not into Moomins as much anymore, I'm starting to get sucked back into it a little bit.
Which means...
Yup, I'm back into annoying people to get into Moomin!
Sigh...I know what you're thinking: I always do this and I need to stop(And I will, after this page). But I feel like everyone should watch a Moomin adaptation or read a Moomin book at least once, even if it's not their genre. Moomins have something to offer for everyone - relatable, complex, and likable characters(if we exclude Mrs.Fillyjonk and Muskrat), strong female characters(excluding Fillyjonk and Fuzzy - apologies, Fuzzy!), good morals, terrifying villians, dark themes(such as anxiety, depression, emotional abuse, almost freezing to d-word(not saying the full word bc it might trigger some people), and abandonment issues), and a v wholesome atmosphere when it calls for it.
That aside, I've already done a rundown of the adaptions and the characters...
But I feel like I should post some of the music to help others get into the series.
The Moomin adaptations have some of the best music I've heard from a series(mainly the 90s adaptation), so I'm gonna post some of the songs - that way, it can pique some of you guys' interest to watch or read the series.
(Using mainly the 90s and 2019 soundtrack, since they were really the only Moomin music I could find(if we exclude the bonus songs))

90s Moomin!:
(Starting off with a few happy songs from the soundtrack, then going into the melancholic songs!)

(Putting the Japanese opening here bc it fits the Moomin mood more than the English one and Finnish one^)

(One of the villian songs^)

(This is both in 90s adaptation and the 2019 adaption!^)

2019 Moomin!-
(the 2019 Moomin soundtrack is a mixed bag - one episode, you'll get a bouncy but slow song about summer while the next episode, you'll  get a distorted and dark song about going through a panic attack or nightmare. Or one episode you'll get a country like song with adorable and bittersweet lyrics, while the next episode you'll get a playful song with music boxes, mock wolf howls, and kalimbas. While 2019 doesn't have the melancholy of the 90s soundtrack, most of the 2019 soundtrack is heartwarming, emotional, and sometimes playful and dramatic.)(oh, and all the songs on the 2019 Moomin have lyrics if we exclude the theme song-)

(As a useless heads up, the soundtracks with the boat on them are songs from season 2, while the soundtracks with the characters gathered together are songs from season 1. Okay I'll stop my rambling now-)

Bonus songs that don't really fit the Moomin vibe, but are in Moomin adaptations and do have lyrics that sorta fit!:
From the fuzzy felt adaption of CIM!-
(!tw: loud siren at the beginning, talks of Comet about to hit a planet, and does contain a swear word!)

And the Moomin fandom's rickroll(or as the fandom calls it, getting Snufkin'd)!-
(From 60s Moomin and 70s Moomin. The song is in Japanese, but according to English translations by LeViAk on youtube and Eggs on youtube, Snufkin is singing about a mountain(metaphor for Moomintroll) and wanting to know how the mountain is so inviting, strong, and resilient)(no clue how it became like a rickroll in the Moominfandom)

I wish I could post more but I'm nearing my media limit-
Anyway, watch any of the Moomin adaptations or read the Moomin books if you haven't, even if it's out of your genre-
(If you watch the 90s adaption, Just don't watch the episodes with the Groke in them late at night - I made that mistake and almost fell off my bed)
You won't regret the wholesomeness and sadness you'll experience.

(Also, sorta unrelated, but if you're ever sad, remember that Edward The Booble's name was changed to Edwardo The Booble in the English dub of 90s Moomin!)

Anyway x2,
Seeya on the next spam!
