Thinkin bout Sampo Koski rn as like. His character n what we get of him in honkai star rail and he fucking. He confuses me like. There has to be So Much more to him like

The general vibes of him and especially how other characters treat him is that of comic relief, a punching bag, a goof, just a slick conman causing trouble. It's genuinely difficult NOT to insult him n treat him badly with dialogue options and any time he's even mentioned March 7th hisses at him. He's literally a cryptid in belobog. He's a joke.

But. But. There's his light cone. It makes me insane. It contradicts all of that.

In it he's competent. He's badass. He's omnipotent. He's able to somehow know a sniper from however far away is locked on him and address them specifically.

And even like... in the entire plot of jarilo-vi he's spoken of like he's not much. He's a 4 star character. But he's practically as present as bronya and seele and Gepard and his involvement in the story is ASTRONOMICAL. He has a part in every major event. He's the one who drags the Trailblazers and bronya into the Underworld. He's the one who takes you to svarog, to the overworld again. He gets Natasha and saves you from svarog. He's the first character you ever meet on jarilo.

And he seems to just vanish before you confront cocolia. But no. Sampo is the one who has the last word and wraps up the entire mission on jarilo-vi. He fucking breaks the forth wall. Jarilo-vi both begins and ends with Sampo.

He calls himself shadowy comic relief yet he seemingly orchestrated everything. What is he. What the fuck is he doing. What else is up with him and when will we get more of him. I want to bite into him and tear him apart.

oh forgot to post this from my drafts but. i woke up from a dream this morning where the last part was siffrin asking for “a big ass bottle of estrogen from the devil” and, when they were in fact given a big ass bottle of estrogen, said that it was the only wish that worked for them

i had a really funny revelation that Crosshair and Echo were [during S3] and still are sharing the Havoc-4 call sign, probably even playfully fighting over it, now that Crosshair is back on the team,,

then i realized that Crosshair probably took up the Havoc-2 call sign because Tech is gone

IT STARTED OFF CUTE AND NOW I'M JUST REALLY SAD ALL OVER AGAIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[princess-self-shipping]

So

I wanted to make a video essay on ISAT kinda akin to what mossbag does for Hollow Knight since I've seen no one do something like that yet and uh

Uh

This is just the summary portion. I still have an analysis to do and final thoughts. Bruh I am in for the LONG HAUL

Books of 2024: June Wrap-Up.

Okay, y'all have Convinced Me--I'm going to start doing little wrap up posts! Behold: a shelf of what I read in June (not pictured: the bookmark at page 466 of ORDINARY MONSTERS, because despite having read two (2) books worth of book so far, I'm still not quite done with that one).

June was kind of a slow reading month for me (I did a LOT of writing, looking back--nice). I wanted to take OTHER TERRORS and THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE a bite at a time so the horrors and figures of rhetoric (respectively) didn't all run together. Both of those, much like A SHINING, turned out to be pleasantly leisurely wanders, whereas MONSTERS is kind of a plod.

I already did bigger write-ups for TERRORS and SHINING, linked in the bullets below.

OTHER TERRORS - ★★★★ Great bite-sized horror anthology with a really inclusive mix, as promised! I enjoyed most of these (always nice in an anthology!)

A SHINING - ★★★★ Weird fucked up heavy little book in translation, lit-fic flavored, but very approachable, I thought. Tiny enough to swallow in a sitting, but also kind of exhausting to do it that way? I'll definitely reread this one in the future.

THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE - ★★★ Fun romp through rhetoric! The examples were fun, and I appreciated the humor, but I also find myself still uncertain what a bunch of the figures actually ARE, definitions-wise, despite having read a book full of so many of them (I did just buy his recommended A HANDLIST OF RHETORICAL TERMS to help with that, at least, which is. almost entirely. definitions by volume). Neat thing to have on my references shelf, but it wasn't as excellent as I was hoping it'd be.

ORDINARY MONSTERS - 466/658 pages read; will report back later (but it's not looking good, folks).

AHHHHHHHHHH THOSE BUG MONSTERS IN ARGENTI’S COMPANION QUEST ARE SOO IRRITATING TO KILLLL (I’m still pissed)

- 🦉

so for anyone who's struggling with the swarm enemies, i seriously recommend that you build imaginary characters, such as yukong or welt (if you actually managed to get him lol), or in my case, luocha. but since it would be incredibly difficult to just pull welt, we'll go with yukong since she's literally given for free (─‿─)

same with any quantum characters such as lynx or qingque, with the former being a healer so that will be a load off your shoulders. for fire, i use caelus but other characters you can use would be asta, guinaifen and hook. for physical, i use natasha since she also doubles as a healer, but there's also the option of the trailblazer, hanya, luka and sushang. and finally for ice, herta, march and pela can help tremendously. i use yanqing bc he's my son and also he's a stronk boye (๑˘︶˘๑)

but i'm really sorry that these specific enemies nonnie were such a hassle; they can be difficult since they just threw those bugs at us and i'm sure that not a lot of people have any imaginary characters on their team (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
