Another trend I see among the goblincore community is the popularity of the Finnish books and comic strips by Tove Jansson as well as it's several adaptations. While the newer adaptations make make the characters a lot more softer and polite, I think most can agree the older versions, especially the original comic portay the core sass in each character, making them distinctly goblincore and not cottagecore, although both communities are allowed to appreciate them.

Many appreciate Snufkin as a gay icon.

The Moomins are the central characters in a series of and a by Finnish illustrator and writer , originally published in Swedish by Schildts (and later in Finnish by WSOY) in Finland. They are a family of trolls who are white and roundish, with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in , in the forests of Finland, though in the past their temporary residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. They have many adventures along with their various friends.

In all, were released in the series, with five picture books and a also written by Jansson being released between 1945 and 1993.

The Moomins have since been the basis for , films and even a permanent museum and a theme park in Finland.                                                                                       (from the Fandom Moomin wiki page)
