So I spoke somewhat about my thoughts on Emanator Sampo here, but I never really thought of it from a design point of view or what kind of powers he would have until just recently. But I actually kind of love leaning into it from a "stage hand" perspective?

Because like. Aha's body in THEIR official art is completely black, giving attention to all the fun brightly colored things around THEM. And that's so fitting for Sampo! He usually prefers to be a side character. He likes to act from the shadows. His is a much more subtle hand.

So I wonder if as an Emanator, a lot of his clothes are actually very dark? Not necessarily plain, still extravagant and needlessly detailed in things like cut and quality with lots of different fabrics and textures and ornamentation, but dark. Or maybe even his skin itself becomes blackened further down his body; his hands in particular are dark, as a sort of sleight of hand reference.

The motif of a lot of straps wrapped around him like in his canon design is still present, but they're all loose and flowing off of him like paper streamers now instead of restraining him or holding him together. He is no longer contained! Or maybe they're still a bit more rigid/heavy, but just draped more like red stage curtains!

And this is like. Fully self-indulgent, but I love inhuman designs, and there's nothing in canon to say I can't do this, so screw it! Go for broke!! Maybe it's not visible to normal people, but Sampo having a second set of arms would be really cool, as further sleight of hand reference. One set is almost normal looking, but his hands are a bright, attention-drawing white, and the other is dark, set almost in the shadows of the first arms, to act less noticeably.

He also has something of a broken heart design to him in canon (the front of his black shirt with its jagged shape down the middle; his coat looks like a full heart shape in the back), and I actually like him keeping that element as an Emanator, because I think it suits him. Sampo says his taste in aesthetics and views on Elation involve human dignity,

and the story he helps create in Belobog involves the long and winding road of resistance and survival and eventual triumph in the face of some very adverse, oppressing odds. (I'm pretty sure I heard he once called Wildfire "artless" though, plus the man acts like he thinks Shame is some kind of dessert, so like ndkdjzjskkd) But the point being!!

I think Sampo is someone who can appreciate heartbreak and angst and tragedy in a story, because it makes the victory at the end all the sweeter. And this would be another thing he shares with Aha, because I think THEY did bless the Mourning Actors partly just to be a little shit, but also because Aha does recognize tragedy as part of THEIR Path, too, and you can see it in some of the game. So a broken heart motif can still suit him, and I like him having elements of both comedy and tragedy. Like his clothing having a happy sun/sad moon (like the moon in Aha's art) or him having both of the traditional comedy/tragedy masks in his design.

And as Emanator, Sampo can maybe play with the stage settings environment, too. Like lights sometimes behave strangely around him, appearing blindingly bright to someone or dramatically dark. Sampo wills it and suddenly there seems to be a metaphorical spotlight right where he wants everyone to look. And when he doesn't want to be noticed, his face seems to be cast in shadow, he seemingly just fades into the background, no one notices or recognizes him and he sneaks away easily. He can create smoke or fog literally out of thin air without his bombs now, too, the air will just suddenly thicken until his stage is obscured, and Sampo can set the scene as he pleases or disappear without a trace.

And in line with being a stage hand, Sampo can direct attention like no other. He was already extremely good at this as a normal mortal, and becoming an Emanator only took it up to 11, past human limits. Sampo points, and all present feel compelled to follow his fingertip. He looks away, and they all follow his gaze. He can even affect the mood of an audience; he can influence everyone to be calm and placid or he can whip them into a feverish frenzy. Sometimes a crowd will start to become unsettled, agitation stirring until it boils over, until it incites a full on violent mob.

And in the middle of all that chaos will stand one perfectly calm figure, face cast in shadow, until they quietly slip away out of sight.

-homosexual 1

-homosexual 2

-a psychopath

-depressed, overdramatic twink

-and phil.

It’s fun when you can fake clock a creatives trauma cause it’s pretty much never actually like biblically accurate given that art is more often than not metaphorical but it’s still kinda interesting psychologically. Like Stephen king seems a bit fucked up about being 11 & having hormones. Oz Perkins might have some religious trauma. Jane Schoenbrun was suicidal about their identity at 17 maybe. That kind of thing.

does anyone know where i can look for more information about the making of the Dungeon Meshi manga? Like are there more in-depth translated interviews where Ryoko Kui talks about her creative process, if she worked with anyone else, how she got it published, if she translated it to English herself or of not who did, etc?

Being bad at math kind of stings when you're obsessed with Fictional Science Genius Men bc it's like, yeah I want to emulate you in every possible way but also I ran out of time on my Chem quiz bc I'm too slow at conversions

[e-flo]

so. hmm. i got a random burst of inspiration and now i have a plotted idea for a pt. 4 to my devil and the deep blue sea series,,,,,,,,

dammit.

Imaginary Book Recs: Round 3

New year, new imaginary books!

Send me an ask with a genre and a made-up title, and I'll give you a summary of the imaginary book.

[alyimoss]

i love ink's freedom. i love how much it means to him and how much its reflected in him as a character and his design. i love that comyet specifically noted that parts of their design are supposed to convey that sense of freedom. i love that he holds his freedom above all else, that it matters to him so much. hes just... so free. even despite whatever duties and responsibilities he has, theyre still free. still characterized by their freedom. i love characters who scream freedom...

[fruit-colored-ninja]

Also I legit Don’t have time right now (graduating college in a month… 😬) but I have So many ideas for a post-part one fic it’s driving me insane. I want to write it so bad
