Thinking about the horror aspect of the DSMP is so awesome because like— yeah we have the prison, and it’s fucking terrifying. But also there’s the fucking Egg. Like the Masquerade episode of Tales from the SMP really showed how terrifying it was all the way back then. And then the whole Sam Bucket stuff too!!! It’s like— ugh I love it so much. I can go on for hours how I love when the DSMP can get terrifying.

We need more terrifying vibes from the DSMP tbh.

The Sam Bucket lore arc was so intense. I loved every bit of it.

Ooo so Sam Bucket was a previous incarnation/memory (?) of Sam who was permanently tied with the Egg from another timeline

This is so Sam Bucket to me

[snom-pixelates]

The latest c!sam lore proved to me that Sam Bucket very well COULD be a body of c!sam, just not in the a way i originally thought. I used to think Sam Bucket was the c!Sam body that got trapped with the Egg and had to eat his own flesh, but the other Sam Bucket streams put a wrench in that idea by stating that Sam Bucket found the Egg before c!Bad did, and by saying he'd previously sacrificed a different group of people to it.

I thought, okay, clearly this is a different guy from a long time ago who's just kinda weird. No c!sam relation at all, this is just some other guy, and him having all of these similarities to c!Sam is mostly coincidence.

But now with the recent c!sam lore, I think the "Sam Bucket is one of c!sam's bodies" headcanon holds some water again.

c!sam is so many copies down that he no longer remembers his OG body and memories. Meaning it's entirely possible there were other bodies and memories he forgot, too.

it kind of explains the Fran and Francis' names being so similar thing, plus Sam Bucket being as obsessed with bringing Francis back to life as c!sam is obsessed with keeping Fran safe. The Sam Bucket storyline feels like a glimpse into an alternate version of c!sam where he DID lose Fran, and it shows what desperate measures c!sam would likely turn to if his closest companion ever died.

This could also be why c!sam was immediately so terrified of the Egg and calls it "creepy bad juju" when he first lays eyes on it, because he's already lived a life where he's been corrupted by it and sacrificed all his friends to it. He might not remember living Sam Bucket's life, but the fear trigger, the trauma, is still there several incarnations down the line.

It also explains why c!sam and Sam Bucket are said to look exactly alike and why they share a name. It's possible c!sam goes by a different name every incarnation to keep people off his "sam's immortal" trail. Maybe Sam "Bucket" is the name he chose for that vessel. Either that or Sam Bucket chose that name later to differentiate himself from the other Sams. Not sure.

But it is totally possible that Sam Bucket is a c!sam who lost most of his mind to the Egg and now only remembers a select few things, like Francis, his name, and his task to contain the Egg and make sure it doesn't escape and hurt anybody else. The tragedy is, just like c!sam with c!dream, Sam Bucket fails his task. The Egg DOES escape. just like c!dream escapes. A "history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes" type of deal.

I personally think Sam Bucket is a sliver of c!Sam's consciousness that continues to haunt that body. Sam Bucket is not quiet a ghost, but he's similar to one. He's a fragment, an echo of a past life.

With that in mind, I also think Sam Bucket teleporting around the server might not be him actually teleporting via, like, magic or ghostly powers or anything. I think it might be that Sam Bucket has his own stasis chambers around the server, just like the ones c!sam has.
