Re-watching the trailer again, and noticed that when the blonde girl is telling Nancy about the suspects and that she should reach out and find out who stole the gems, the only suspects who smile/make any reaction to Nancy other than a blank expression is Radek and Oskar. HMMMMMMMM, these two be lookin' a little sus, dude.

The post about Carrie and the elimination of her fatness from the movies adaptations even tho it is a pretty important element of her characterization, also reminded me of the awful American remake of "Let the right one in" that also deleted the queerness from Elias/Eli characterization, missing completely the point of the book by doing so.

i named my guy ren highwind because my name is ren and i like the lancer naming tradition in ff games lol.
eventually i did learn about actual xaela naming conventions and decided "ren highwind" was a sort of adventuring name he took on half for fun and half because he was tired of eorzeans butchering his real name lmao, that being yerentai kha!
in the characters i've made since i do usually try to keep everything lore compliant from the start, with occasional deviations like nicknames, sometimes titles like NPCs have in place of surnames (e.g. "yugiri mistwalker"), and the whole viera lore thing where they take new names when they leave the forest lol. mostly i pick names based on what sounds nice with maybe a bit of the meaning taken in mind.
WoL QotD: What made you choose your WoL's name? Does it have any important meaning or did it just sound nice?
Follow up: Is it lore accurate? If it isn't, why not?

My theory on Sampo's true identity...
(Minor Spoilers for 2.4) (also, I’m no expert in… anything, really, but these are just my ramblings).
So, this has probably been mentioned before, but I have a teeny-tiny theory about Sampo’s true identity, and it relates to Finnish mythology.
So, “Sampo” in and of itself doesn’t have a set meaning, but it has its roots in Finnish mythology, particularly the “Kalevala” which is a 19th-century compilation of epic poetry. In it, a blacksmith god by the name of Seppo Ilmari(nen) forges the mythical device known as “The Sampo”. It’s never quite explained what The Sampo really is; some versions depict it as a mill, others as a cornucopia from which bountiful creations flow from, and some even have it as being a world tree/world pillar, so what The Sampo really is, isn’t entirely known. But, what is known, is that it brought riches and good fortune to its holder (again, the same as the cornucopia from Greek mythology).
But why am I mentioning all of this? Why bring up the Kalevala? It could be that Hoyo just chose the name “Sampo” for some flavour—befitting of a character who magics up relics from seemingly thin air and is trying to create riches—and yeah, it’s a possibility…
Until I saw these two screenshots from the 2.4 story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know what this means, right? 
Kalevala is a real planet in Hoyo’s Star Rail universe, and I find it awfully coincidental that they would use this name for a planet and not have it related to a certain blue haired conman, especially since The Sampo is such a pivotal element in the plot of the Kalevala—there is no way this is a coincidence (I refuse to believe it).
This leads me to believe that Kalevala is Sampo’s real home world, and is where he originates from.
Now, this is all well and good, knowing where “The Sampo” hails from, but I want to focus on its creator—Seppo Ilmari(nen)—and his parallels to a certain blue haired conman. For one, Ilmari(nen)’s name is quite interesting as the ‘Ilma’ part is Finnish for ‘air’ or ‘weather’, and as we know, Sampo’s element is that of ‘wind’ (And also the fact that Ilmari(nen) is credited as “Godlike smith-hero and creator of the sky”. I could go into a whole spiel about Ilmari(nen) and Qlipoth swinging their giant hammers in tandem together for all eternity (Go Sampard! Geppie is Qlipoth's true heir, you can't convince me otherwise!), but that’s for another conspiracy theory lol).
So, ‘Ilma’ means ‘air’, and Sampo wields ‘wind’.
Cool.
If the parallels ended there, I’d just say I was being crazy… but there’s more.
Sampo’s 4th (and arguably best) eidolon is called “The Deeper the Love, the Stronger the Hate”. Two out of his six eidolons refer to 'love', whilst the other 4 are to do with wealth and riches. The wealth and richest aspect leans towards The Sampo of mythology, whilst the ‘love’ aspect, well…
According to the story, Seppo Ilmari(nen) is the unluckiest bastard alive when it comes to love. Like, seriously. His whole storyline is that he can’t find a woman. For one, Seppo Ilmari(nen) is double crossed by his so called buddy, Väinämöinen, into creating The Sampo for the evil witch Louhi of Pohjola in exchange for her daughter’s hand in marriage (which, Ilmari didn’t even want in the beginning), but when the poor guy actually sees the daughter and falls in love with her (and subsequently creates the Sampo—after failing miserably a number of times, mind you—he creates a crossbow, a boat, a cow(wtf?) and a plough, all which are somehow either evil or flawed), she ups and just leaves him hanging! (in the original runes, however, he is successful in gaining a wife, as his ‘unlucky in love’ spiel was later added by Lönnrot in compiling the Kalevala).
As with any mythology and re-telling of it, there’s so many different versions of the same event. In “The Maiden of the North”, a 1898 opera written by Oskar Merikanto, both Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen compete for the chance to marry Louhi’s daughter, who is then mentioned as being “Ilmari(nen)’s first wife” and who later dies to Kullervo’s curse (apparently she was a bit of a bitch to Kullervo by taunting and tormenting the poor boy—who was a child slave mind you!). Distraught, Ilmari(nen) forges himself a wife of gold and silver, but he finds her to be too cold and callous—he forges her out of love but only finds hate—so he tries to gift her to Väinämöinen (who doesn’t want her either, lol), and suggests he cast her back into the furnace and to “forge from her a thousand trinkets”.
Here’s the accompanying poem:
Never, youths, however wretched,
Nor in future, upgrown heroes,
Whether you have large possessions,
Or are poor in your possessions,
In the course of all your lifetime,
While the golden moon is shining,
May you woo a golden woman,
Or distress yourselves for silver,
For the gleam of gold is freezing,
Only frost is breathed by silver.
It is apparently your standard Aesop’s fable of “money can’t buy happiness”, which is something else I see in our dear old Sampo Koski. During our time in Belobog, we see how different he acts with the Underworld and Overworlders. To the poor, he actually seems approachable (albeit a bit of a nuisance), going so far as to help the Underworlders (an example being the questline “Survival Wisdom” in which he and Peak set up a business together renting out his tools to help the miners make a decent wage to support their families). In contrast, we actively see Sampo being very hostile towards the Overworlders, scamming them and putting the nobles in their place or setting them up to be caught by the Silvermane Guards (an example being during the museum questline where you discover his identity as “Mr Cold Feet”. Sampo clearly states to who he thinks is his mark that ‘we are not friends’ in a very hostile manner, something which we’ve not seen from Sampo before as he is usually quite amicable). 
For all Sampo’s showboating and flashing his money around, he helps where it counts. He wants to make money, sure, but not at the detriment of the people who need it the most, only to those with excess.
Anyway, back to him being unlucky in love…
In another rune entitled “Kosinta”, Ilmari(nen) goes on a journey to compete for Hiisi’s daughter, and wins by completing various feats, one of them being “ploughing a field full of snakes”:
Tumblr media
And as we know, Sampo is very heavy on the snake motifs (the head of the snake on his shoulders, the spine wrapped around him, the daggers are its fangs…etc.)
So that’s another interesting link between Seppo Ilmari(nen) and Sampo Koski.
So, why have I gone on this long winded tangent about Seppo Ilmari(nen) when I’m supposed to be talking about Sampo Koski?
Well, that’s because I think Sampo Koski’s real name is (or a variant of) Ilmarinen.
In the Hoyo universe, I believe Ilmarinen came from the planet Kalevala and ‘created’ the persona of Sampo Koski, much like how in the Kalevala, Seppo Ilmari(nen) forged The Sampo.
As I’ve listed above, there’s so many links between the two:
“Air” as a name and “Wind” as an element.
Seppo Ilmari(nen) ploughed a field of snakes to win Hiisi’s daughter’s hand in marriage, whilst Sampo Koski relies heavily on snake motifs for his attire.
Sampo’s two eidolon names that relate to love (which are completely different from the other 4 eidolon names), whilst Seppo Ilmari(nen) is known to be unlucky in love.
I’m pretty damn sure Sampo creates his own bombs and tinkers with the old relics to bring them back to life, whereas Seppo Ilmari(nen) is a smith who created the dome of the sky! They’re both artificers!
And now the revelation that a planet by the name of “Kalevala” exists is no mere coincidence.
So, either Sampo is Ilmari(nen) - or! - Sampo is a puppet (like Herta) created by someone called Ilmari(nen). 
(I would love if his 5* version is him with this name).
Right, I’m finished rambling. Gonna go huff some copium...

Thea gives his sarcasm an unamused expression, glancing around at the various persons milling about. "It's just convenient I'm here tonight is all." She shrugs, knowing that even if she hadn't been here, he'd have found a way to put it on her. The witch returns her gaze to his and gives him a smile that doesn't quiet reach blue eyes. "Well, if it's no problem, then perhaps you go and when I'm done here, I'll stop by." Thea suggests, setting her drink down now at his tone. She extends her hand. "Show me." She says, not believing him. Though, knowing Oskar, he'll probably spin it as a reflection of her that she doesn't trust his word. But she knows when it comes to their professional lives, hers was never valued or seen with as much respect as his own was. Still, there's a slight twitch of her lip, threatening a frown, as she thinks of her son, sick in any sense. Even if he hadn't been asking for her...no. That's how Oskar wins. Does it matter? Thea's not sure. "I need to talk to Rachel," the witch sighs, "so I'll head over after." She relents, the maternal part of her, however slight, winning out in the end. She picks up her drink once more, giving him a pointed look. "But, for the record, I don't believe you." That Henrik was asking for her.
★・・・・・・★
Oskar blinks, his gaze traveling over Thea's features and the obvious annoyance that settles in her expression. "No, she texted me two hours ago and I only thought to say something right now." he remarked, his head tilting ever so slightly to her with his dry tone before his attention moves back to his phone. "All she said was how he's been sick a few times and that he's asking for you." Oskar repeats, returning his attention to Thea with a small shrug. The quick comment the other witch manages to get in at his expense isn't appreciated, but Oskar is just as quick with the return. "Oh? Well, I'll keep taking time off work then, no problem." he quips until something that's a laugh leaves him to Thea's stubborn quirk of brows...and accusation. "Thea." Oskar scoffs, tone indicating that her demand is rediculous and he takes another glance to his phone. "Henrik has been sick, twice now and is asking for mom." he clears his throat, reading the text instead of passing over his phone to the other witch. "It's fine. Only twice. I'll just tell her to put on a movie for him, neither of us can leave." Oskar decides, whether it's to call Thea's bluff or not is another question as he begins typing out the reply.
