VALUABLE INSIGHT. thank you for this contribution

sampo theory — amphoreus.

did anybody else notice that back during "mr cold feet's pop-up shop", the transition screen had references to greek lore?

i'm sure i'm not the only person who noticed, but i've been doing a lot of thinking about it ever since that event happened. what does it mean, beyond pointing towards amphoreus?

no detail is too small when it comes to this game. it has to mean something... and while i'm aware that there is a very good chance that i'm wrong about this one, i had a thought earlier that i just want to share somewhere.

"Take it easy, Icarus" — this is very curious to me. we are all obviously aware of the story of icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. so... what's it doing in a sampo-centric event? well, there are a few things i can think of. "icarus" could easily be referring to a number of characters, but because this is a greek mythos and we're about to depart to a greek-inspired planet... well, i have to assume our "icarus" is an amphoreus character. so what kinds of things could be considered as flying too close to the sun? maybe something like... disrespecting the gods?

"This must be a trap created..." — this one we cannot really see the full quote. created by who? well, there's no easy answer. greek lore is full of tricksters and traps... but i think it's fair to say that the most well-known trick is the trojan horse. it's the one you're probably gonna think of when you think about this kind of thing. but is that what's being pointed to here, or are we referencing another trap? if so... was sampo tricked? was our fox outfoxed?

"Diogenes' Utopia" — the name of an ingame achievement, namely one underneath the "moment of joy" category; the one directly related to aha the elation. so on top of being a reference to a greek philosopher, a founder of cynicism no less, here it's some kind of meta reference to aha.

okay, that's my thoughts on the quotes themselves. but i had a different thought earlier... namely the first point. while we don't know much about the amphoreus characters thus far, the little bit of information we know about anaxa is that he is a scholar who disrespects the gods.

if we want to say that disrespecting the gods is flying too close to the sun... is anaxa our icarus? if this is the case, why would he be pointed at in a sampo-centric event?

perhaps they have some kind of connection. we obviously know sampo isn't a jarilo-vi native. it's not that far of a stretch to think he's at least visited amphoreus at some point, although i doubt he's originally from there. (i still don't know where i think sampo is from. likely somewhere we haven't heard of yet, i still think kalevala is a red herring.)

i think that's enough rambling from me now. there's a 90% chance i'm wrong about the anaxa part of this, but i just want to get the brain worms out.

I HONESTLY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT UNTIL I PLAYED THROUGH THE GAME AGAIN... it's very odd the way she hesitates. like if they've known each other for so long, how could it be that delivers that line like that?? she has no issue when she shapeshifts into other people

i totally missed the connection here!! perhaps he could have some connection to kalevala, then... thank you for telling me, since this completely went over my head!!

i'm not sure that i see any similarities between them beyond having some of the same colors :o i did have a thought recently about his gameplay path being nihility though, like he's trying to throw people off from thinking he's a masked fool

acknowledging this, again thank you🫡

perhaps... also i am aware of the grey hair, i meant that he lacks the eye wrinkles that welt has!! sorry for any confusion <3

i remember seeing an article recently talking about a leak that said more characters would receive path switches similar to march's system, in order to "keep older characters interesting." although when i tried to hunt it down, i couldn't find the exact article. however, i did find this one talking about the remembrance path potentially becoming playable: https://screenrant.com/honkai-star-rail-leaks-new-path-remembrance-trailblazer/

thanks for reading my theories and ramblings!!

[cryptids-lair-of-hyperfixations]

here you go!! please enjoy my insane ramblings 🙏

i cant even be mad this is great

the thing about aroace people

so I'm aroace. Makes sense, but I just wanna get some things straight.

We are no strangers to love. We know how it works, we know the rules, but we don't really commit to it, we dont feel it, and we don't think of it. But, we know the game and how to play it. If you ask an aroace person what they are thinking, good odds they will help you understand. Generally, we don't really give up on friendship, we also try not to let people down. We like to run around, and we try not to desert you. We try not to make people cry, we try not to lie, and most of all, we try not to hurt people.

yo it's still pride month so i just wanna post my silly queer fics. i don't have too many but i've got more than one so!

so here's some food, please enjoy

aroace alastor fics (hazbin hotel)

vash x wolfwood fics (trigun stampede) and i am also going to share my vashwood playlist because i really like sharing angst.

aroace hunter fic (the owl house)

hey writing side of tumblr, i wanted to ask your thoughts on a novel i'm planning. the book will essentially go through a duo's entire relationship; how they met, how they remained together, and how they fell apart. the two have completely different arcs, with one starting as more heroic and becoming evil, where the other starts off more villain-aligned but he learns to be good. this change will create a rift between them and will result in one killing the other eventually.

there is more than that, but this is essentially the bare minimum. i'd like to hear any thoughts or opinions on this concept, see if it sounds cool to people who... aren't me, haha.

[cryptids-lair-of-hyperfixations]

[cryptids-lair-of-hyperfixations]

i am a silly little guy who writes silly little fanfiction. i've got a few written about hazbin, specifically about alastor and him being aroace. so here's a good ol' link to them all, cause i want them all in one place.

i'm not sure how many more hazbin fics i will write, but i put these all into a series because the next one i'm planning on writing doesn't focus on him coming out or realizing that he's aroace the way these do. anyways please enjoy them, i love u aroace alastor tumblr

thinking about how lucifer would absolutely adore placid plastic duck simulator

[cryptids-lair-of-hyperfixations]

i just think this deserves to be posted after my last post LOL

[cryptids-lair-of-hyperfixations]

as an aroace person in a queerplatonic relationship i don't think alastor would like being in one

however i think it's funny that me and my partner in crime liken ourselves to alastor and vox respectively. like i will never ship alastor with anyone unless it's one-sided on the other's end or it's strictly platonic, but the idea of diet queerplatonic staticradio is hilarious to me
