In the Moomin stories, Thingumy and Bob speak a language of their own with the same wording that Tove and Vivica used in their letters. They carry a big secret, the ravishing King’s Ruby, which radiates a red light out into the universe. It’s not far-fetched to read the story as an allegory of Tove’s and Vivica’s forbidden love. Read more about the allegory and other queer themes in Tove Jansson’s life and work through the link in bio 🌈 The illustration is from the book Finn Family Moomintroll, published originally in 1948. 📚」6月27日 19時23分
