#Sampo babygirl they could never ever make me hate you

[monochromatic-heartzz]

There's a part of Sampo's character that is easily overlooked. And that part is easily summed up with this one line

"Epsilon? What fun can you get out of a giant vanity fair like that? True happiness always entails the dignity of mankind. Now that's a quote i live by."

I get why more people don't talk about it, we're more focused on other aspects of his character, and that's alright.

However. It's a very important line.

To give a little bit of a "context". Epsilon, from all we've seen, is a star system of "easy pleasures". Entertainment industry, if you will. Many actors, movies, music, etc, comes from there. It's sort of like a hollywood.

Add on to this that the World's End Tavern is in Epsilon, aka, Masked Fools gather in Epsilon due to its easy ways to obtain Elation. Even the concept of the Tavern itself is an easy joy card. Getting drunk and watching fights could be many people's cheap way to obtain Elation.

And Sampo doesn't like that.

He believes Elation should be obtained after hard work. Through endurance and hope, not by cheapishly making whatever and hoping that is your reason for happiness.

Having small pleasures isn't wrong, but pretending it's the key to happiness is. Because it's not true happiness. It's a temporary substitute.

Elation needs to have purpose.

This. Is mainly why he loves Belobog so much. They've persisted so long. 700 years of hoping for a better tomorrow. And when they do finally get it, it's the best payoff they could've gotten. A nice "happy ending" to this story full of tragedy.

Now. This is a strange thing. Because, despite being a (probably retired) Masked Fool, his ideas of Elation align quite a bit with that of the Mourning Actors.

I think Sampo sees value in both sides of the coin. But he doesn't completely agree with both of their views of Elation. His path of Elation is his alone, he walks it by himself. Actually, everyone sees Elation differently. This is just his way of expressing his own ideas.

I love Sampo Koski can we get more lore on him please

Hi Mera! I found a thing and wanted to share it with you if I may >:3

https://www.tumblr.com/soarien/720137928497659904/what-if-i-psychoified-him?source=share (It's just Sampo fanart, no spoilers! Idk if you're ok with us putting links in our asks even if it's solely fanart on tumblr, and I apologize if you'd prefer not! I will refrain from putting links in my asks in the future! But in case you would want to see it here you go >-<)

No ideas in my brain just t h o u g h t s orzz

I need psycho scary Sampo carnally

It actually makes me think of Sampo's Eidolon "The Deeper the Love, The Deeper the Hate," which has been tickling my brain ever since I first saw it 👀

Maybe, maybe maybe, we'll see a scary side to Sampo in the future *-* As much as I love my silly little bastard <3 I also kinda wanna see what he would be like if you mixed the goofy with him being utterly unhinged orzz

Anyway, just wanted to share the brainrot and delicious art with you :3 Hope you have a wonderful day! <3

"Why the long face, darling~?"

(Also btw, this is the person that sent the last Sampo ask. I discovered your anon list after sending it ^^; Could I be ☄️ anon instead please? Thank you very much if so and apologies for the inconvenience!)

OMG THAT SAMPO ART!!!!!!! OTL he looks so crazy in the best way!!!! >v< (and it's entirely okay to link fanart in the asks!) I also need psycho Sampo so carnally... and that one Eidolon!!!!! The moment I read it, I couldn't help becoming so curious. Something about the phrase "the deeper the love, the deeper the hate" is just so yummy to me!! Maybe Sampo loves you so much that even if you do things that might warrant his hate he'll still love you to such an obsessive degree. orz I feel like you would have to do a lot for Sampo to truly hate you, though. ^^;;; he's just so in love with you. Even if you call him a creep or hit him in retaliation or say you'll never love him, he remains steadfast in his loyalty to you. <3

I also wish to see a scary side to Sampo!!! Though he's goofy and babygirl material, it would be so interesting to see the sides where he's cold and calculating with his business acumen (read: sly scammer behaviors lol) or even an utterly unhinged side as you wrote!!! orz I just want to imagine Sampo after he's just eliminated a rival or even your own lover and he has you absolutely cornered and he smiles at you with such a lovesick demeanor! I still can't get the concept of "even customers can become commodities for the right price" out of my mind!! Sampo has such good yandere potential. Goofy, harmless puppyboy exterior and maybe beneath that he's a gross creep who is horribly obsessed. >:D

Aaaaaa it's too good!!! orz "why the long face, darling?" he asks as if it's not obvious you're crying because you're scared and terrified of what he's capable of!!!

(You may be ☄️ anon!!! :D I'm happy to see you in my inbox again!!! Thank you for blessing me with Sampo fanart and lovely brain rot!!!!!! <3 I love him. orz orz)
