#album: sampo

[fisshbones]

Hcs of some Hoyoverse characters!!

ft!! Heizou, Sunday, Scaramouche/Wanderer, Furina, Sampo, Xiao, & Pela

Genre: fluff/crack!! No warnings that I can think of besides of being mildly ooc and some being shorter than others. Could be read as platonic. Modern Au Gn! Reader.

Heizou ->

Has thousands and thousands of screenshots, pictures, and videos saved on his phone. Refuses to delete them because “you never know, they might come in use later.” Once in a VERY LONG while does his habit actually pay off. He’s paying for the cloud subscription service 1000% If he doesn’t his phone is borderline useless. If you go through it you’ll wonder how he finds jack sh*t in that phone, there’s no organization on/in that thing. That being said he doesn’t need to put things in separate albums because he had absolutely no issues with finding what he needs. (he’s literally me)

Sunday ->

Sunday likes to tend to his multiple gardens back where he lives. There’s two green houses back at his home. One is his and one belongs to his dear sister. If you want one too, he’ll gladly make some plans for yours next. When him or Robin can’t tend to the flowers, he has a gardener come tend to them in the meantime. While all of them brings joy to him he has a special soft spot for (white) calla lilies and spider mums.

Scaramouche/Wanderer ->

The definition of an annoying menace. He’ll put sticky notes with (sometimes with writing) on your back without you knowing. He used to do this to Childe too, only when it was Childe it would be way meaner. One fool read the ‘kick me’ note on his back and actually did it. Poor idiot guy learned a lesson that day. The worst he’s put on your back was a note with a stupid face on it. And if someone makes fun of you for it, he’ll give them a black eye! He’s the only one allowed to be an ass to you. :)

Furina ->

Does catwalk struts in her mirror when no one is home. She gets wayyyyy too into it. She’ll start on one side of the house and when she gets to her mirror she’ll strike a pose. One time you walked into her standing in front of the mirror doing pose 28. She couldn’t look into your eyes for a week afterwards. If you ask her to give her a lil show, she’ll do it but don’t laugh cause she might cry. lol. (she’s so me coded)

Sampo ->

He plays those driving games with the steering wheel and all. Sampo started streaming it too to make some hot cash$$ This man is DEDICATED to the act he preforms while streaming this game. If he gets into an accident in the game he makes it look like it happened irl too. He’s given himself whiplash from how fast and hard he slammed himself in his chair. think this.

Xiao->

BIG CONCERT FAN!!! Hates the crowds so much though (T ^ T) He’s so not a people person. Always manages to get great seats for you guys. He’s willing to see any performer if it’s for you, even if it’s not someone he likes. I personally see him as liking every genre of music, so there’s a fat chance he’ll still like the music being played. Xiao would put you on his shoulders if you ask him too. But I can’t guarantee you’ll be able to see any better this way because of how short he is.

Pela ->

Pela makes a crap ton of edits and fanfics. Any where between thirst edits and angst edits of anime characters. She’s got over 50k followers just waiting for her to drop the newest robin or satosugu edit. She’s also got of followers on the platform she posts her fanfics on. She’s big on x readers AND ship fics. That girl puts in work making sure both her edits and fics are absolutely perfect.

If you enjoyed likes/reblogs/replies are appreciated!!

TickleTober2024/Day 09 - Dance

Honkai: Star Rail - Sampo x Gepard

After browsing through a couple of music discs, Sampo finally found the one he was looking for: “The Cusp of Ignition”, sung by none other than Serval Landau herself. As the first strings of the guitar that composed the track began to be played, Sampo turned around to face the other man in the room, greeting him with a cheeky grin.

“So, what do you say? Hm, hm?” He smiled, extending his hand and reaching out to Gepard, who was still standing with a serious facade and his arms crossed in front of his chest. “Come on, can’t you fancy me a dance, Geppie?”

“I don’t dance, Koski,” Gepard hissed, feigning annoyance as he tried to build his way out of that unlikely situation, “I don’t even know how to. My sister inherited the artistic skills, not me.”

“Please, it’s not that hard, especially with a catchy song like hers,” Sampo insisted, daring to walk over the Silvermane Captain and grabbing him by his wrist, dragging Gepard to the middle of the room. “Just move your body, don’t overthink it.”

“K-Koski! Let me g- h-hey!” Gepard groaned as he was moved around like a puppet, Sampo forcing his arms to sway at each note played, pushing and pulling him around as Gepard’s sister’s voice filled the room.

“You’re too tense! Loose up, for the aeons’ sake,” Sampo teased, pulling Gepard’s body closer to his before latching his hand onto his side, squeezing it, “here, let me give you a hand ~”

“T-thahat’s not h-helping, Kohoski!” Gepard gritted his teeth and, in fact, the tickling didn’t seem to help as the captain became even more tense - an attempt to stiffen up and refrain from letting out any unwanted sounds. That, however, was not enough to convince Sampo.

Forcing Gepard to spin and turn his back to him, Sampo wrapped one arm around Gepard’s shoulder, catching him before he could fall and, of course, resuming the tickling as he did so. “Ge~ppie~ I told you to loosen up. I can’t teach you like this!”

“Y-yohohou are nohot teheheatching me, y-you- AHAH!” Gepard cackled as Sampo prodded at the space between his lowest ribs, erupting a louder, more frantic reaction. “Y-Yohohou bahahastard, stohohop this foohoholery!”

“Heh, can’t do that, I’m afraid, Geppie,” Sampo mused, his mind wandering to some other topic at the sound of those words. Those weren’t important right now, there were a couple moments left before the end of the song. “Ohh, look at you go, Geppie ~ you’re already a pro at it!”

“Q-quihihit the mohohockery!” Gepard groaned, barely managing to get on his own feet as he stumbled around the middle of the room, being pushed and pulled in and out of Sampo’s arms, poked and tickled over and over in the process.

Sampo, however, simply laughed along, amusing himself with the captain’s reactions. “I can tell you got the skills for dancing as well, Geppie,” he nodded, acting as if he was actually proud of Gepard’s poor attempts of keeping up with him. “We just need to work a bit more on them… good thing your sister just released a full album, right? ~”

A/N: I switched this one last minute so I could open room for other prompt, so I hope it doesnt feel too rushed hahah

[keyotos]

so it goes...

summary − what taylor swift album & song do the hsr men and their love resemble?

includes — dan heng, gepard, blade, sampo, & jing yuan!

tana’s words — self indulgent swiftie attempts to do song analysis and write romance! if u have any other ideas for hcs/fics/etc lmk in my ask box!!

dan heng

definitely belongs on the evermore album

i'm seeing long story short or tis the damn season

⎯ but most importantly: WILLOW

when she says “head on the pillow i can feel you sneaking in as if you were a mythical thing.” LIKE IS THAT NOT DAN HENG.

or i could be extremely self indulgent idk

⎯ i believe dan heng is a big YEARNER

the thing about the evermore album is that it just feels like a long and yearned reunion. it’s like coming full circle.

you and dan heng’s relationship would be similar to that. after all the long and exhausting days you two would always find yourselves circling back to each other. like, you two are both there when you two need each other.

your relationship is calm and based on pining (long story short). you would think it’s one-sided, but little did you know that it was mutual.

⎯ WHEN SHE SAYS “you know that my train can take you home. anywhere else is hollow.”

due to the both of you probably traveling on the astral express, so the both of you don’t actually have a “home.”

“you know that my train can take you home,” relates to your relationship w/ dan heng because simply your presence is his home. and it also relates to the astral express too BUT YOUR PRESENCE = HIS PEACE.

⎯ it’s literally such a small and simple thing, but it means a lot to dan heng. just having you around is like bliss to him, and it’s the little things that matter.

— the themes of coming back to a person in evermore is SO dan heng. if anything happens, you are the first person he’d check on. you are the first thought in his mind when he wakes up. wherever his mind (or body) goes, it’s always back to you. he’s completely bewitched with you. like YOU ARE THE FIRST THING ON HIS MIND.

gepard

omg he is most definitely fearless.

⎯ he’s either fearless or red but i’m definitely leaning towards fearless

⎯ if his love was to be defined in a song it would either be jump then fall or untouchable. those are the top 2.

⎯ maybe fearless…

⎯ gepard is def a fearless boy bc like THAT WHOLE ALBUM IS JUST SO SWEET. like your relationship with him would be the sweetest thing in the world.

TELL ME NONE OF THESE LYRICS RESONATE

“untouchable, burning brighter than the sun. and when you’re close i feel like coming undone.” OR “in the middle of the night waking from this dream, i wanna feel you by my side standing next to me.” - untouchable

“every time you smile, i smile. and every time you shine, i’ll shine for you. don’t be afraid to jump then fall into me.” - jump then fall

LIKE…

love w/ gepard is pure and untouchable (yes). there is nothing but love between your relationship.

he definitely admires you. he is 100% the type of person to take candid photos of you just to look at them if he’s at work. he wants to be his best for you, and he just enjoys everything about you.

the thrill of a new relationship is still alive in your relationship with gepard. it doesn’t matter if you guys have been dating for like 2 years. gepard will still get so red if you kiss him. the same exciting feeling he got every time he kissed you is still there

— every time he kisses you (which is surprisingly often; not in public tho) he gets so red. but the same warmth and giddy feeling from your first kiss is still there.

the thing abt fearless is that it’s such an innocent and cute album. it’s similar to your relationship w/ gepard in a way that your relationship captures that feeling of everlasting and innocent love.

blade

reputation. maybe midnights ngl.

⎯ reputation is one of taylor’s most romantic albums and honestly blade lowk gives me romantic energy.

⎯ i can see midnights but i think i’m leaning more towards rep here.

⎯ so many good songs on rep that could describe blade but i think i’m going to go with delicate or dress. so it goes is also a close third.

most ppl usually associate rep w feelings of revenge. but most people overlook the super sweet love songs on the album.

rep is similar to blade’s love in that way. most people overlook it, thinking that nothing more than a fling or it’s disingenuous.

however, they couldn’t be nothing but wrong. blade loves you. he cherishes you more than anyone (even you) knows.

also like REP’S LYRICS?? SO ROMANTIC LIKE

“my one and only my lifeline.” (dress).

“everyone thinks they know us.” (dress).

“even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me.” (dress).

— does that not describe you and blade. like, he would literally do anything you say. he’d listen to you for hours and hours because nothing matters more to him then you.

— you two don’t pay attention to the rumors (that are terrible and cruel) or what anyone else says, because to blade, you being by his side is more important.

— and i think hurt and comfort would work well too. like, there could be terrible things happening rn and shit is going down. but throughout it all, you are the one constant that holds him down. through all the hazards, you still love him and he appreciates your love greatly.

sampo

— lover. i thought he’d be 1989 at first but he is definitely lover.

— i am seeing false god, i think he knows, or miss americana and the heartbreak prince.

your love would be fun and happy, much like the album lover (minus soon you’ll get better). it’s fulfilling and it always finds a way to surprise you.

— though some find parts of lover annoying (me!), they don’t really spend a lot of time to look into the lyrics of the album.

much like your love w/ sampo: people dislike him and wonder how he managed to get a girl like you to fall in love with him.

what they don’t know is that he’s (shockingly) kind?? and he cares about you?? and he remembers all the small things you like??? and he’ll always be right there when anything happens to you??

lover itself is such a cheerful and sweet album and i think it really describes his love: loud and sweet. he’ll do embarrassing things and he will probably get on your nerves, but throughout all of that he’s still caring and loving.

— “they say the road gets hard when you’re lead by blind faith. but we might just get away with it.”

— ITS SUCH A ROMANTIC AND UNDERRATED LINE THAT COMPLETELY DEFINES UR RELATIONSHIP

even though people think your relationship is set up to fail, you two are both determined to prove them wrong bc that’s how strong your love for each other is. he is never letting you go and you will do the same.

jing yuan

— midnights! no doubt abt it.

— sweet nothing, labyrinth, and MAYBE snow on the beach

— sweet nothing is HIS SONG. like THAT IS HIM.

his live is so packed and there’s so much going on. he’s juggling yanqing and generaling and it can be too much sometimes.

— “i find myself running into your sweet nothing.”

— “all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing.”

— “and the voices that implore, ‘you should be doing more.’ to you i can admit that i’m just too soft for all of it.”

LIKEEEE. HES JUST TO SOFT FOR ALL OF IT. that’s why you’re his safe space. you never required anything from him and you just love him AND THATS ENOUGH.

he doesn’t need to be a mighty general or a strict master; he can just BE HIMSELF around you. he lets all his walls down and he’s fully vulnerable and YOU LOVE HIM LIKE THAT.

— this isn’t just a one way street btw. he loves you just as much as you love him.

there are no expectations between the two of you. you guys are such a HEALTHY couple. with all the worries in the world your love still prevails and i just think that is very sweet.

[windtorndagger]

Thinking about Gepard having to go lipstick shopping because Sampo needs a few different colors for a several of his identities but he has a meeting. So Gepard is standing in Belobog’s high end makeup store with an entire album of images he may have taken to compare colors.

He's flipping through an album on his phone, all the photos are selfies that Sampo has sent him, and the cashier is just standing there pretending she's not watching the Captain of the Silvermane Guards flip through photos of like twenty different women, while standing in front of a selection of lipstick.

[heytherelysia]

hsr charas as (sterotypical filipino) highschool students

i was gonna leave it with sampo but i could not resist writing the rest. this is so silly please AAUHGUAH

sampo's the type of guy to tell you "gimme a kiss first" when you ask him for a favor.

bronya as the class president who breaks down when the class won't settle down and be quiet. seele is the one to comfort her and scold the class for making bronya cry, eventually rendering the room dead beat quiet.

serval brings an acoustic guitar to school every day, strumming and sometimes singing during recess. pela is quick to sit beside serval during recess.

dan heng sits either in the window seats or at the back of the class. the type of guy to constantly cover his mouth with a handkerchief. like serval, he only reads when it's recess or when a teacher is not present.

march 7th who pretends that the dustpan in her hand is a selfie stick. going from classmate to classmate as she raises her 'selfie stick', "cheese!". her camera/album is updated everyday, with a new image added for every 5 minutes or so. photos of the sky take mostly of her album.

pela watches dramas, movies, animes, and music videos when it's not class yet. you can occasionally hear her wiggling, stomping her feet, and squealing in her free time. her seatmate is not safe from pela's arm smacks when she is excited. despite that, she is also a star student — excelling in most of the subjects.

gepard as your boyfriend. a teacher's pet and an extra curriculum enjoyer like pela. it bums him that you are in separate classes with him, but he eagerly waits for you outside your classroom after class is over, offering you to let him pick up your bag and walk home with him. gepard doesn't announce his presence when waiting for you by the door but your classmates does. "(name)! your boyfriend's here!", when you hear that sentence, you prepare yourself for a bunch of loud squeals. nonetheless, gepard giggles to himself to this event.

i proudly placed geppie in a pedestal here.

🍇 SOUR GRAPES. serval’s unhinged daycare

serval ━━ studying music. rather than being the ‘mother’ of the group, she is more accurately described as that ‘cool aunt who has her life together.’ serval often hosts music events in the school and even does gigs at local restaurants, venues and even busking out in public. she also writes her own music and has sold a few albums where she uses the money to spoil her friends tremendously.

gepard ━━ studying politics. gepard is the younger brother of serval and is literally her #1 fan?! he can be seen as the most ‘sane’ one of the bunch with his high morals and truthfulness. gepard also works part-time at belobog’s museum. though he can be a little clumsy at times, that only makes him all the more endearing

stelle ━━ studying environmental studies. stelle can often be caught doing volunteering work around the school and even outside, sometimes going as far as to host the events herself. her friends has to stop her from scavenging the school’s bins and she often scolds others whenever they accidentally drop a small piece of trash on the floor.

sampo ━━ studying business studies. sampo realised that scamming people is illegal and persistently claims that he “turned over a new leaf.” he insists on wanting more twitter mutuals but his following to follower ratio says otherwise. surprisingly, he is quite creative and likes to think outside the box which helped him earn his high grades.

Ville Valo & Christel Karhu

17.02.2024 - Emma Gaala, Espoo Metro Areena, Helsinki, Finland

Vuoden rock: VV – Neon Noir (Ville wins best rock album with NN)

translation by Vampire Heart69

Thanks everyone for this honour. Mhm this (statue ) is as heavy as it was before. Puzzle was enormous, I put Neon Noir together. And I wanted to thank first, for the puzzle, to my love Christel Karhu without whom I wouldn’t be here. Thank You for the patience and sense of humour. And I should thank my mom and dad, that love sizzled in the beginning of 1976 and I am here now. And then quickly, it’s a joy and honour that Universal Finland taught me how to be “house trained” (like a puppy who is taught how not to pee inside), Thanks to Kimmo, Soile, Susa, Tara from Promo Sapiens. To Antto, Mige, to all the musicians Juho, Mikko, Risto, Sampo, who did I forget? The list is so long, would need the whole evening, I don’t want to turn into Bess (artist who spent lot of time last year thanking everyone). Thanks a lot. Lots of love and peace! See you at the gigs.

[laseratingfist]

3, 8, 10, and 25 for the ask game :D

3. 5 songs you have been recently obsessed with?

"again" by yui (i've been watching fmab in my free time)

"again & again" by the bird and the bee

"road head" by japanese breakfast (a friend sent me the music video last year and i've been a bit obsessed with the whole album since then)

"careful with that axe, raskolnikov" by ni moya (i think this is a pink floyd cover, it scratches my brain nicely)

the hoyofair sampo song "funny bone" by regine

8. Name something you are looking forward to?

a shower later tonight! and playing more of the luka event in hsr :]

10. Favorite animal?

25. Talk about something you love?

sampo.... i was talking to my mom about him the other day, about this phrase....

maybe this is just me, but i think one of the reasons i love sampo so much is because the quote that i live by, i guess, is leave the world better than you found it. i feel that this is a similar sentiment, at least in sampo's actions spurring the main quest on. and his genuine concern for jarilo-vi. i want to do right by people, but also i like getting silly with it. y'know.

[sampoenjoyer]

got any music to put in the background while writing sampo? trying to write him but i need the mood music and can’t think of anything off the top of my head

OH SO MUCH, I HAVE AN ENTIRE LIKE 4 HOUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR HIM IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO LINK IT, BUT FOR SOME OBVIOUS ONES: he's very lemon demon to me, especially Damn Skippy that album is PURE Sampo energy. Also Will Wood great for Sampo

I'm also gonna recommend a genre here, that I don't personally listen to a lot specifically for Sampo but I adore and I think could work which is DARK CABARET BABY, GREAT GENRE.

Also have a weird amount of TV Girl in his playlists

(I also really think Bo Burnham music fits him a lot but ik ppl get weird if you bring Bo Burnham up so shhh I didn't say anything wha huh) Also if you want some specific songs I associate a lot with him: Big Shot by Toby Fox Fool by Djo

Cops and Robbers by Hoosiers

ANYWAYS YEH WILL HAPPILY PROVIDE THE LINK IF TO MY SHITTY LIL SPOTIFY PLAYLIST IF YOU'D LIKE AND HAPPY YOU ASKED ME CUZ I LOVE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING SAMPO RELATED SO THANKS :)

The Incredible Universe Of Guru Guru

Still breaking boundaries, still true to themselves, Guru Guru are back with a brand new studio album GURU GURU have been an institution for over five decades. Forerunners of Krautrock, the group, founded in 1968 by drummer, singer and visionary Mani Neumeier, have been breaking boundaries since the beginning, fusing free jazz with rock’n’roll, experimenting with Indian, Southeast Asian and African rhythms and styles, to create their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock, inspiring musicians and audiences the world over, especially in the United States and Japan. Despite countless line-up changes, and more than a half century since their formation, today GURU GURU are as alive and active as ever, playing around 40 live shows every year. Far from being tired or showing signs of mellowing with age, their live shows are still experiences where the band know how to surprise their audiences. Of course, GURU GURU’s classic “Elektrolurch” is still a setlist staple, performed by Mani Neumeier in a newt costume. While ‘Back To The Roots,’ with its rock/prog’n’roll sound, is self-explanatory, the band have added new musical elements to the song ‘Guru Guru’s In Da Haus,’ experimenting with hiphop rhythms. The oblique ‘Hold The Jelly’ features the God Of Hellfire Arthur Brown as guest vocalist, with electro-dance influences. GURU GURU are still breaking boundaries, and are still very up to date, or even a bit ahead of their time. The album’s opening song, “Free Krautrock!” says it all, because the band still stands for everything that experimenting with different styles has to offer. The CD format features bonus track: ‘Sampo Incredible’. Label: Repertoire, 2023

Sampo Sundström Appreciation Post

Where to begin on Shampoo Sandstorm...

I slept on Sampo and Idk why. He's fucking hot and he's an AMAZING guitar player. Idk how he is most nights but it felt like he was being *extra* last night and I was HERE FOR IT 👏🏻

I hope this isn't the last we see of Mikko, Juho, Risto, and Sampo. I love them all and I hope they help out with subsequent albums & tours ❤️

I am emotionally attached now.

[hoshi-no-pops-05]

An old mashup I made around two years ago. It's a mashup between "The White Tower" by Wowaka from the album World 0123456789 and "Polaroid"/"2 walking"/"O-Sampo" by Laugh and Peace from the Vib-Ribbon ost.

It was one of my first attempts to do a mashup. I should also note that I don't really know anything about music, and I feel like it that's very easy to tell... But, oh well, at least I have fun making it back then.

Sampo by Amorphis from the live album An Evening with Friends at Huvila

[otp-shipping-industry]

Well spotted! I'm so down for this unhinged ranting shared excitement - why'd you leave it in the tags? Your commentary absolutely made my day!

To infodump, Amorphis has based many of their songs on Kalevala. This one, From the Heaven of My Heart is from their album Skyforger - and yes indeed, this is a reference to The Smith Eternal from Kalevala, Ilmarinen. The King he refers to is Väinämöinen, a nicer kingly figure in comparison to Morgoth (at least a bit).

And hey if the shoe fits... Plenty enough of similarities between the smiths. And the lyrics fit Sauron terribly well!

The device that the song refers to is Sampo, a powerful magical artifact that Ilmarinen creates. It ends up getting stolen (and hidden underground) - and a battle ensues to retrieve it. In the end Sampo gets destroyed during the fighting.

This is starting to sound a bit too familiar - maybe Sauron shouldn't have followed Ilmarinen's footsteps that closely to the end.

The similarities between the smiths might actually call for a more detailed meta and musings in the future.

I forgot to add a link to the actual song in my original post, so in case anyone happens to like folk metal and wants to take a listen, this is the song I took the lyrics from:

Sauron & Amorphis - From the Heaven of My Heart

Sauron throughout the Ages, from a lieutenant of Morgoth to becoming The Ring-maker, to becoming The Dark Lord.
