… and Misabel!

As soon as I see her, I KNOW I’n gonna laugh out loud!
🤣
#RebeccaRoot is the actor, I’ll have to learn more about them! Hilarious!

I haven’t mentioned the cast; the characters are so developed, I don’t think of them as existing outside of #Moominvalley … except for #RosamundPike as Moominmama, who portrays her with the gravity her character deserves. She is fabulous!

They *do* try to fit in every #autism trope, but if I had Snork available as representation as a kid, I would have been OVER THE MOON!

(I know he’s in the books, but not spelled-out as neurodivergent, if I recall correctly)

I love that he resents the performative niceties of life, instead choosing direct, honest communication… Moomin is telling him what he needs to change about himself to make friends, and Snork patiently explains that, if he changed to “make friends”, it wasn’t *him* they’d be friends with.

I love that he sketches out his ideas, and the show makes a point of letting us SEE those sketches. I love that he has a whole organized and tidy workspace. I don’t; it’s aspirational… and now I have a role model for that goal.
