[monochromatic-heartzz]

Man. I am in a roll lately.

I've been having so much Sampo on the brain but let's discuss a stupid concept i thought up. This probably won't be long dw. (<- Future Heart here, hi. I lied.)

Could 5 Star Sampo be a Preservation unit?

Now. I know what some of you are thinking. "Preservation!? It doesn't fit him! He should be a very strong dps or an irreplaceable support! Why preservation????" And to that i say, maybe he should be.

But. It's just... i've talked about this in a post before but it was a very short jokey thing that was the first time i'd done an analysis in a while.

Belobog. The planet where its people follow the preservation. They want to preserve humanity and civilization. So they fight to survive, just enough until the Astral Express gives their assistance and they can be free from the pain the Stellaron has given them.

Well, you know, there's a biiit of an outlier in the Belobog cast. And it's, as you know, our old Sampo Koski, Masked Fool who came here to help drive the plot forward. He follows the path of Elation, as all Masked Fools do, and as far as we're concerned there should be no connection with him and the Preservation, and no indication that his views align with it.

WRONG!!!!! Masquerade Duet. Sparkle guesses that the reason Sampo wants his mask back is because of a catastrophe in Jarilo-VI, and judging by his reaction and later words, she hit the nail square on the head.

So?

That's. Kinda it? He wants to preserve the civilization in Jarilo-VI, and all the work he put would be undone if this catastrophe were to happen without interference. All the work he put into helping preserve humanity in this planet. Mmm does anyone remember what happened to an outsider who helped preserve civilization on Belobo- Fire trailblazer.

Yes. It's because they are the protagonist. And they will get every playable path one day, but. Canonically, they become a pathstrider after their views and feelings align with the path.

Let's be real, Sampo loves Belobog. Pretty evident from context clues and dialogue even outside of it. He clearly helped preserve it, though it was from the sidelines and really nothing major.

So. How would he earn being a preservation path thingy?

The catastrophe in Jarilo-VI. His mask.

Gang. I think we found our way.

And yes. Gameplay paths don't equal canon lore paths, we've known for a while. But sometimes narratively ingame paths can be used to deepen a character in one way or another, even if its not stated.

Even though it would be a bummer if he got his big 5 star form and it was a preservation unit. I think it sounds sweet. After probably helping it so much, it would be a nice way to say "Yeah this is more his home than Epsilon ever would be, he has the will of the preservation to show it!!"

I do not know. I am. Once again: spitballing. Don't take this too seriously we have nothing about this guy and im working hard on not crying because i see no new content of him.

This is definitely not a hill i would ever die on. But i rarely see people talking about him being a preservation unit, and i wanted to show the idea a little love

[shoezuki]

Dya have any more headcanons for sampard?

Maybe ideas on how they fell for one another. Would you see it as an X fell first but Y fell harder or a flirting for fun but realising you've caught feelings?

Or have ya got an entirely different view on it! :D Oooooo. Do you perhaps have a timeline for how they traverse the "enemies" to friends to lovers stages.

Can you tell I love all your ideas and headcanons T-T

thankyou anon i am ghglg. im in love w u now. yes i have Many Ideas bout these two bastards like i have so many thoughts you cannot believe. like i have a post drafted where i write hcs when im bored and headin to class lkshglhg. heres some hcs

sampo falls in love first. very, very early in when he is new to the planet and is just drawing the attention of the silvermanes. It's not exactly some 'love at first sight' thing its more like the first time gep almost catches him sampo thinks 'oh he's cute' and a few times after that he's like 'wait im enjoying this. a lot.' and its downhill from there

whether sampo Realizes it is another thing tho. i can see him just enjoying the attention and thrill of evading the silvermanes and not realizing his disappointment when gepard isnt there is cuz hes infatuated w gepard.

but he Would realize it. at some point itd hit him like. why he enjoys the chase so much n lets himself Almost get caught. why hes memorized gep's schedule and where he patrols the most. and it hits him n hes like 'oh fuck. what the fuck. holy shit.... well anyways.'

(probably freaks out to seele over drinks but he's too incomprehensible through his tears n she has no clue what hes whining about)

Sampo flirts and teases gepard unabashedly, kisses grenades before throwing them into gep's arms, saying 'woah youre so strong geppie' while gep punches the wall behind him narrowly missing his face, leaves notes with lipstick marks on em at crime scenes, all that stuff.

but for sampo. it isnt supposed to actually Go anywhere. he knows he likes gepard more than he should and its kinda just to scratch that itch in his heart yknow.

sampo very much thinks that. gepard is the captain of the silvermanes, a wellknown and noble person in belobog, and sampo's a slimy secretive conman that just enjoys pushing the captains buttons. theres no hope for anything more so he might as well enjoy flustering the captain right?

gepard on the other hand. doesnt allow himself to really think of sampo as anything else but a criminal. it takes a long Long time for him to realize he even feels anythin for him

gepard does look forward to trying to bust sampo, though, in a sort of frustrated way. sometimes the front lines or patrols are so monotonous and sampo's tendency to appear whenever gep's bored out of his mind is impressive

he is insistant on arresting sampo and 'bringing him to justice' to an obsessive degree, though. he's not even typically assigned to investigating criminal cases but he has basically inserted himself into bein the lead investigator of any sampo related case now

(intelligence officers and detectives and other silvermane's are so used to it now. they could be investigating a house fire or a break in, find a note with lipstick marks on it and curly writing, and they all just sigh and call gepard.)

sometimes other worry that his insistence on arresting sampo and how dedicated to it is concerning. they ask why he hates sampo so much n he just says 'hes the most prolific criminal in belobog and needs to be apprehended'

(he cant say he hates him, though. for some reason. he cant figure out why he thinks about sampo so much. he just figures its to arrest him)

gep finds himself starting to relax when sampo sends him on wild goose chases n they both leave other guards in the dust. its probably not intentional, how sampo always seems to draw him away to somewhere quiet and secluded when his head is killing him or he's stressed or exhausted.

(its intentional)

sampo falls first, but gepard is absolutely the one who initiates.

i imagine it'd take... something for gepard to reconsider sampo and let himself think about sampo outside of his criminal record

during a chase out in the snow plains, just sampo laughing and taunting him as gep tries to hunt him down, they get bombarded by fragmentum monsters

sampo holds his own; he fights with a sort of viciousness gep has never seen from him. his bombs arent just smoke, but powerful explosives that shatter fragmentum. he's insanely fast and doesnt even break a sweat. but as soon as theyre all dead he pretends he's exhausted and that gep needs to carry him back to the city before giggling and vanishing.

gepard realizes that this whole time sampo has been holding back. he realizes that sampo could easily cut through the silvermanes, use his lethal bombs or easily outpace gepard and outrun him.

he starts thinking about other things sampo does; how natasha mentions he delivers medicine to him, how lynx sometimes talks about finding supplies and food in hidden ruins and obvious places around her camp, or the notes sampo leaves and how they sometimes give hidden hints about other criminal operations the silvermanes have been tryin to investigate.

he doesnt know what to make of it, what sampo wants or why he's doing this. the next time sampo sends him running through abandoned streets in belobog he slows down, realizes that sampo also slows to his pace so gepard keeps chasing him.

gepard asks point blank at some point, what in the hell sampo wants from him, why he's doing this. sampo doesnt know how to answer. just shrugs and says hes just trying to have some fun.

from then on gepard and sampo's 'chases' tend to... dissolve. sometimes gepard just sits down and takes a moment to forget about being the captain, to relax. Sampo acts like a skittish, stray cat who's ready to bolt until he eventually relaxes as sits by gepard too.

gepard collects all sampo's notes, all the fragments of his bombs with the hearts painted on metal shells, and keeps them as 'evidence' in his desk.

sampo pushes his luck constantly; as soon as gepard relaxes or gives him any room to get closer, he takes and takes as much as he can get.

gepard catches sampo, entirely on accident, when he's off duty. climbing out of a window or something. and sampo freezes but gepard just says 'hey i'm not working now, i can't arrest you.'

(they both know it's a lie. being out of uniform never stopped gepard before.)

sampo starts just appearing more and more around gepard when he's off duty, showing up walking alongside him like he's been there the whole time, or just 'passing by' when gep is in the florist's shop.

gepard leaves his window open. sampo takes the invitation and crawls in and strange hours when gepard cant sleep. he just sits on the couch or a chair or stands there like he is a foreign intruder. gepard just nods and makes him some tea.

when it would hit gepard, that he's in love with sampo and has been for a while, he'd just blurt it out. 'huh. i think ive fallen in love with you'. and sampo would erupt into flames and kiss him so hard his lips bruise

Emotional constipation (Part 2) - Gepard

Gender neutral reader, part 1 here. More of a round off of the previous part, life keeps getting in when I'm about to write oops. Still no happy ending oops, Sampo gets karma in the form of Gepard for his contribution to part 1

--

Serval was surprised to see you coming along with your set of Gepards house keys, clearly struggling to keep it together. She wants to ask you what happened, but she knows better than to ruin her friendship with you by prying in too soon. Instead, she spends some time just the two of you, making sure you don't forget you'll always have a premium seat to her concerts. You, of course, tell her you'll still keep in touch with her.

Gepard, on the other hand, was a different case. You decided to block him after your conversation with Serval, you saw he opened your message, and it had been enough time for him to reply or show up at Servals place in the duration of the time. It hurt to realise it, but you couldn't bear to be tempted to send him a message telling him you're happy with being his, even if you weren't happy with the lack of touch and he was happy with holding someone else.

It wasn't until a few days later that Gepard was able to get back from work, and he was only then able to act.

--

Sampo had been chasing up this customer of his, who had yet to cough up their shields for payment. As much as he was a businessman, the idea of ruining a relationship he could tell was being built healthily weighed on him. The fact he didn't get the shields from his anonymous requester revealed to him that, perhaps, he was wrong to show you the sight of Gepard with someone else. He didn't even ask for the purchasers motive, but that was usually not a problem on him.

After he realises this person wasn't going to cough up the shields he needed for his services, he decides to tell Gepard about his actions.

--

"I was as surprised as you were, Geppy." Serval protests, Gepard gawking at her as she hands him your copy of his keys. "I didn't want to pry, and they looked like they were holding back their emotions."

"Why couldn't you have stalled for long enough for me to come? You know how my work is." Gepard Huff's, Serval frowning in disapproval at how long that would take.

"Look, they were fragile at the time. I haven't been told anything, and I'm waiting for them to tell me what happened in their own time." Serval states, Gepard shaking his head.

"Nothing was going wrong, I was hoping you'd have some clues." Gepard pouts, crossing his arms.

"...What did they send you?" Serval asks, Gepard handing the phone over. When she gets scolded for giggling at the cute nicknames, Serval apologises. "From what I'm seeing...perhaps they misinterpreted something."

"I'm going home, I need some time alone." Gepard sighs, leaving his sisters shop.

--

Upon returning home, he spots Sampo waiting at his front door. That was never a good thing, and unfortunately this was no exception.

"Hey, the man of the hour! Boy do I have the best offer for you. Sampo Koski can enlighten...you." Sampo trails off, Gepard failing to hold back his frustration.

"You might as well tell me this 'enlightenment'." Gepard yawns, Sampo clearing his throat.

"Well, a dear customer who is anonymous requested for me to lead _ to you when you were receiving affection from-" Sampo begins, only to get caught off-guard by Gepard punching him in the face.

"Leave." Gepard grumbles. "Maybe you'll think twice before meddling in people's love life."

The door clicks shut, and Gepard sends Serval a message informing her that Sampo was paid to break you two up, along with the explanation Sampo gave.

Serval had to tell Gepard that, after some soil searching, you informed Serval that you couldn't bear to be in a relationship and not get the physical affection you wanted to desperately. She explained that Gepard really does love you, yet that only made you feel even more guilty for trying to push him - only for him to love you even now.

"so, tell me more about this... astral express crew you guys run up there." finger tap against aventurine's glass, attentive gaze trained upon caelus like a cat taking an interest in a brand new plaything. "obviously miss himeko's reputation is unparalleled, and i wasn't born under a rock so as to not have heard of the repute of the herta space station but... how does the life of a trailblazer work, exactly? follow the stars and your heart wherever fate takes you? takes a special kind of people to embrace a life so full of uncertainties."

Normally a look like this wouldn't warrant much concern. Yet, this wasn't just any old bastard off the street. A devilish silver lining of experience was traced in movements and sword drawn curiosities alike. Blunt and brazen as Caelus often lords himself to be, it'd be plain ignorant not to let this apprehension sink it's hook in a little bit. "And you're tellin' me the stars of the show ain't enough for ya up there?" He shoots back offhandedly. A soft snort is prompted from the delinquent as he matches that gaze. His wild, unabashed sense of fire would be the challenge bestowed within those golden eyes.

Strange. Why were some of the patrons finding themselves unconsciously uncomfortable? Others were.. aware, yet, not all too sure as to why to focus all of that nervous energy towards. "Look at it this way. So ya got this fine joint right here, yeah?" A gloved hand briefly sweeps upon the air, allowing for the flashing lights, the vivid shines, cheers and dance highlight the most distinct business being hidden in the shadows. "Yer dream made in real time. Cept it's a lot more self centered, and you're off handling your own deals. ...Pfft, what, a lack of order is a little, I dunno~"

His eyebrow arches towards Aveturine. "Daunting?"

Truth be told? Caelus had no damn clue what this guy's business was. The fact they were willing to have a little fun was a nice enough ice breaker, but, after finding himself in such pleasant company like Sampo and other individuals who can dance with multiple masks, call it some refined intuition being worked into this Penacony upstart.

"Reflect on the world to see yourself. Only so many answers can be found in one place, so a lot of people throw that comfort out the window. Might be a lil lonely now n' then, but hell, some poor suckers are screaming in lonely silence right where we're at." It was another detail he wouldn't drag himself too deep towards. (Yet, knowing his luck.) The fresh cola was slowly swished about in his own glass.

"A trailblazer's life is ultimately selfish. If ya ain't got the moxie for that much, then you'd be boned. Think you'd have what it takes, Mr.Smooth moves?"

Star Rail ramblings below.

I just got into Star Rail (a couple weeks too late to get Dr. Ratio so thank you to everyone who has him available as a support) and I understand fully why people who ship Trailblazer/Dan Heng or Trailblazer/Dan Heng/March 7 usually use Caelus instead of Stelle. But like,

The traits the Trailblazer has aren't uncommon for male characters. It's fun and all but like. There are a lot of them. On a female character they make me kinda feral. She's messy and lazy and weird? And she's weird in a genuinely strange way, not a way that's supposed to make you go "haha cute girl". She checks garbage cans and hides in closets because they look cozy and she looms ominously and hits like a mack truck.

(Especially as someone used to the way Genshin designs female characters, the fact that it's not immediately clear how big her breasts are is actually doing a lot to sell me on her design.)

She's weird and gross! I love her! She has two hands and Dan Heng and March 7 shouldnbe holding them! I also think Stelle should have no sense of modesty or sexual shame. I think she would get changed while Dan Heng was in the room and he'd turn around really fast and tell her that's inappropriate. And she'd be like "I have a bra on don't have a heart attack" and wouldn't even really care. I think she'd do something like carry March like a princess and have no clue why March is blushing. I think she'd lean on them both like a big dog and crowd their space constantly and they would both get flustered but they like it too much to ask her to stop.

(I like the idea of like, Sampo flirting with her and it makes Dan Heng and March 7 jealous, but they think Stelle doesn't notice. And it turns out that Stelle knows he's flirting but she considers him so unfuckable she's not even bothering to reject him.)

(Side note: kinda love Sampo. He's like if Arataki Itto had a baby with Spamton G Spamton. This man is Eddy from Ed Edd & Eddy's ideal anime self. He's terrible. I love him.)

I just love the idea of people thinking that Stelle and Dan Heng are the smart ones while March is doing something silly, only to look back at them and Dan Heng is using all his strength to keep Stelle out of a dumpster.

[forbelobog]

to say gepard is tense would be an understatement, eyes narrowing on sampo's hands as he moves to reach for something in his coat pocket. but he announces he's just grabbing his beacon, gepard not taking his eyes off the other as he does so. he contemplates a few things as sampo mentions go to these locations just as his own beacon pings in his pocket, but the most prominent being how did the man get his number to begin with? more mystery to add to his overall veil, blond brows narrow on the other before he gives in to the bait, reaching for his own beacon to access the message sent to him. of course, sampo's number is foreign to him, but there were coordinates, two sets of them, that gepard can read pretty easily thanks to his military training. 

"...this better not be a trap, koski," he warns, though they both know gepard is a bit too well-seasoned a soldier to fall for something like that. curiosity gets the best of him, and eventually, he's leaving sampo to head to the first location marked for him. 

he's dealt with enough echoes out in the freeze to notice one when he sees it, though he's surprised he's never come across this particular one before. he's heard stories of echoes coming and going depending on the time of day, or season of the year when emotions connected to the souls involved are highest. this must have been near the time the event went down in the year, thus the intact nature of it all. figures are hard to make out, but gepard is able to discern what happened through context clues left at the scene, and the shouting of the souls involved.

there is no doubt guards were responsible for the deaths of what appeared to be kids, one soul left alive to bear the weight of the episode. that soul was sampo. as much as it pains him to consider what his fellow guards were responsible for, he has to remind himself - judging from sampo's age in the memory - gepard himself was just a child. he couldn't have known. but...why was it not more known at all? surely this went against all protocol, all training. deadly force was always a last resort, no matter the instance. and against teenagers no less? it...made no sense. he never heard of any guards facing repercussion, no news regarding the incident. the echo lasts just long enough to hear an anguished cry of a young sampo before gepard can't discern anymore. 

his stomach churns something awful on his way to the next location, what he can only assume is another echo. this one is less violent, at least, though it makes gepard's blood boil all the same. guards passively talking about covering the incident up, concerning the state of the people involved. they weren't from belobog per say, no one would miss them - that's what one says, at least. they mention the current captain, gepard's father, and how he would see to it no one would face any fault for their actions, except sampo. as if his actions couldn't have been understood given the ordeal. if captain needed any further reason to resent the man, this was certainly one of them. 

the weight of this revelation sits heavy on shoulders, gepard contemplating what he does now that he knows. inform bronya, search for records. try and get...some justice, or whatever was left of it. no matter the crimes young sampo and his friends may have committed, it didn't need to end the way it did. it shouldn't have. it's not how he operates. 

first thing he wants to do, though? is message sampo. he texts back the number that sent him the locations in the first place, though it is a short, direct message. meet me in the snow plains. one system hour. followed by a coordinate of his own. 

he has enough time to wonder if sampo will even show, but eventually, the man appears. gepard feels...guilty, despite not having a direct part to play. but the look he settles on sampo is one of sincerity, blue eyes almost sad, "i'm sorry, sampo. i had no idea."

For the briefest of moments, there's pity given. But only for a moment. The thief quickly blinks it out of existence. Sighing loudly as he listens to the other's excuses. His head shakes, “It's all an act I'm sure.” Or perhaps he was the one acting. It was easier to assume the worst than throw hope to an unknown variable. Truthfully Gepard has exceeded his beliefs. 

“I've seen the story.” He continues, now opening his eyes again. His gaze remained steadfast as were his words. The story he told Gepard, he's heard it and seen it first hand. It was only a matter of time of what and when Gepard would turn heel. It would be easier for the thief for it to happen. Despite his love and trust in humanity, the little Fool was hurt by it. Like a wounded animal he had mistrust to those who claimed to be righteous.

While not proclaiming himself a hero, Gepard was. To the people of Belobog he was a pillar that stood within the snow. Even if the man himself didn't see himself that way. He is a righteous man. Which is why Sampo knew the man's days were numbered. Though a little voice in his heart hoped he was very wrong. The louder, crueler voice in there shouted.

They're all the same. They're all the same.

“You're all the same.” He mutters. Gloved hands clasp together, a rather polite, yet deceiving smile is thrown at the Captain standing before him. “I'll give you a chance then.”

Sampo's hand went over his own chest. “I'm going to pull out my beacon Captain.” Fingers fiddle at the seams for a moment. He shouldn't move too quickly, he did threaten the man's life. The moment he feels he's safe to move, the thief slides his hand inside. His fingers shuffle until his beacon is pulled out.

Emerald eyes turn away to type something up. A moment later, Gepard's own beacon buzzes. Two messages, two separate locations for the man to go.

“Go to these locations I sent you. Then give me your answer, Captain Gepard Landau.”

Ok random things/hc bout the aha!sampo divinity AU i was thinkin of

Aha at some is like. Yknow what fuck it im gonna reincarnate as a human n see whats up w this. So he basically takes bits and pieces, dropped change n spilled drinks on the floors of taverns, scrapes the side of the universe, takes scripts and stories and anything made from human joy n makes a body out of it

He starts off as a kid cuz he saw kids n were like o those guys seem to have fun hell ya.

He makes sampo koski and Becomes Him. Is taken in by the masked fools cuz they are all a lil fucked up so spendin too much time w em or struggling to hide his divinity can scramble their brains only so much...... probably.

Also these ppl who worship him not realizing the scrawny kid they took in is aha????? Thats funny as shit

Sampo grows up normally. Well he kinda got it a bit wrong n he grows at a wayyy slower pace than humans but he jus says he got caught in a temporal anomaly or smthing.

It takes him a long time to really get a hold on his powers/presence/divinity and ends up making people go mad quite often. Sometimes on purpose.

The masked fools send him to planets, give him scripts and have him portray characters and sow chaos. He bends reality a bit sometimes to make the scripts more fun. He creates a major presence on the masked fools and becomes infamous in some planets n ships thay marginally survived him

(Some of the things he does cant be attributed to him and it puzzles people. Theres no way a mere human could change the colours of stars or rearrange galaxies n move planets a lil to the left, right? He makes entire waterbodies taste like beer and makes trees bleed when cut and flips mountains upside down)

The role he's given in Jarilo is his longest one yet. Usually he's just like a force of nature running through but this time he becomes a Person on this planet

He meets the underworld ppl and they all have different reactions to his divinity the longer he's around them:

Natasha is fairly sensitive to his power but it doesnt really overwhelm her. She hears childrens laughter when hes around and the air feels warm like sunlight that Belobog hasnt experienced since the eternal freeze and every time he brings her medicine or carries out of her requests she tastes bubblegum on her tongue. She never says anything but sometimes she Stares n it makes sampo squirm

Oleg tenses every time sampo shows up but eventually forces himself to relax. But he always has to be aware of sampo at all times, can't ever turn his back to sampo or be unarmed around him. He has no clue why and thinks theres something wrong with him and its his problem not sampos. But sometimes when he looks at sampo he can almost swear he sees something shift over his skin

Seele doesnt notice anything for a long time. She has to be around sampo for hours sometimes days without break. But eventually she just becomes irrationally angry with him. Everything sampo does grates on her brain and makes her want to attack him. She doesnt think anything of it and just assumes its because sampo is annoying.

Luka is one of the least sensitive to divinity. Any anxiety or unease he feels around sampo he just attributes to sampo being a shady guy. Sometimes sampo's laughter and his voice feels heavy in his skull though

Children in general are highly sensitive and resilient to the divine: sampo doesnt know why. Maybe because theyre brains are still developing? Because they arent stuck in their own ideas of reality n rationality like adults? Regardless Hook KNOWS sampo isnt normal. She doesnt question it, she just knows sampo makes things fun.

He finds a lot of responses with those in the underworld: some want to worship him, others want him dead, some cant look at him without feeling sick. For some reason the overworlders tend to find him more unsettling and disconcerting. Qlipoth probably has nothing to do with it but Sampo blames qlipoth
