#grokeposting

it's going to be winter where i live soon and the first frosts have started so ofc i had to draw my wife about it

my favourite girl beast of all time

18- What’s something you associate this character with? E.g. a certain colour, object or scenery?

TYSM FOR THE ASK!!!!!

hmm........ well, it's pretty obvious but i would have to say that i associate the groke with winter haha :'D ........ although she's often depicted in moomin series in the snow, i moreso associate her with foggy, frosty days....... like weather where the sun never seems to fully rise and it's dark and cold and you can never see very far in front of you, yknow?

i also associate cool purple colours with her! the 90s anime would show her with a purpleish colour in some scenes and it stuck with me lol

i think i also associate her with the beach in winter/at night. moominpappa at sea made a big impression on me as a kid and i think the groke is at her best in that book. the images of her crossing the ocean and coming to the shore at night to howl mournfully were so striking and sad but beautiful.

i did deltarune in the last one of these so i will just do moomin here, i hope that's ok!

blorbo (favourite character, character i think about the most):

this one should be obvious bc she's my profile pic on Everything. the groke. she is everything to me im obsessed with her. the original autism creature. i think she's my most beloved character from anything ever

scrunkly (my "baby", character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

little my. she's so adorable and the fact that she's constantly causing trouble and seems to lack a moral compass makes her even more adorable to me. huge representation for feral small girls everywhere

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fav):

groke again. why is she not the most popular character. like the other characters are cool and everything but where is the fucking groke hype why am i like one of only 5-10 other people on the internet who are also obsessed with her. there should be thousands of us

also mymble (oldest). i love her and her vaguely insane approach to parenting. also the fact that she might be snufkin's mum......... love it when a woman is huge and a milf and has antennae

glup shitto (obscure fav, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and i won't shut up about it for a week):

groke. they only need to mention her and i go insane

poor little meow meow ("problematic"/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fav):

im putting snorkmaiden here bc she's a very funny and enjoyable character to me but i get the impression that a lot of ppl in the wider moomins fandom don't rlly like her??? i mean she's not my favourite character or anything but i think she is cute and often hilarious and i care abt her a lot

groke. again. she's not particularly popular and ig she could be considered problematic bc some fans view her as the Literal Embodiment of Homophobia (which i personally do not agree with but i do think it's funny lol) and also she can be kinda scary and mean sometimes even if she doesn't always mean to be. she's also a bit pathetic imo she is a poor little meow meow to me

horse plinko (character i would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

sneef. his suffering amuses me. <3

eeby deeby (character i would send to superhell):

stinky (affectionately)
