Hattivatteja ja taikapilviä

I have a hole in my heart as I wait for Moominvalley season 3. SO. To fill said hole and somehow feed my hyperfixation, I decided to imagine moomin characters as people and throw them into this coming of age movie setting.

I present to you~

Now, a few basics of the AU.

"c'mon dance with me moomintroll"

So I have mildly tried to figure out Inspector's age in the 90s series;

So the graduation age in Finland is 18 (pretty sure?) and Finnish police training is done in 2.5 years, assuming Inspector hasn't been set back for whatever reason and started police training immediately after graduation, this would make him 20-22 years old when he graduates from his police academy.

Inspector says in the episode Criminals in Moominvalley that he's worn his helmet for 20 years, assuming this correlates with the amount of time he's done actual police work, this means he would be around 40-42 years of age.

And that range is only his bare minimum, he could easily be given a few years.

Conclusion: Inspector is baby faced af

So. Like. Santa Claus is actually... Sorta, canon in the Moominverse? Tove wrote a very sweet letter as Santa writing back to a child about his experiences and how Christmas usually goes, mostly that he's pretty lonely and isolated most of the year (living in a cabin somewhere in Finland and only coming out when he hears snow falling outside [he has special ears that can hear that sorta thing]) except for when creatures gather far and wide to help create gifts, and the creatures illustrated in the back of the letter are Moomin characters like Moominpappa, Snufkin, Little My, Sniff, a hemulen with a sled full of child hemulens aswell as some random creatures.
