In a podcast first, we are interviewing a Moomin fan who is still a teenager and discovered the Moomins through Pinterest!
Mary talks us through the cottagecore appeal of the Moomins and the popular but non-mainstream place they occupy in the USA. There's a fair bit of chat about the Japanese animated cartoon adaptations. We talk about the way we love queer-coded things but wish that the queerness could be explicit in these beloved texts. Mary gives out excellent advice as Little My.
Check out our instagram to see pictures of Mary's shrinkydink keychain and her mom's Little My embroidery. We're all for making your own merch around here!
Mary recommends Ivy and Bean, the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place and Katie the Ordinary Witch.
