Hey ya'll! I thought I'd announce I'm using Purifier Sammy's design for something different than the Role Swap AU I initially created him for. I thought I'd get more out of drawing him if he was a a younger Samson, so that's what we've got!

I intended to characterize Samson as a retired revolutionary, who tried and failed to work towards change. Young Sammy was aggressive and cruel, so he never made connections and ultimately lost his single-man fight.

To credit where credit is due, I drew inspiration for Sammy from Cinnamon Glaze of RISE, specifically with the use of ties and that both of them are elsens revolting against the cruel systems of the zones. The idea is that Sammy was like a Bad End. While Cinna made friends that helped him fight and talk to the Guardians, Sammy passed friends on and tried to do it alone (which almost killed him). It was only after healing and growing from that humbling experience did Samson get a second chance to make that connection to strengthen and help Finch's cause.

I had so much fun drawing this guy. I'm excited to draw him more in the future! I may re-work the AU at some point, but my attention will stay mostly on Tiny Terror and eventually Project GoldFinch.

Its my favorite FAVORITE thing to draw Sam next to taller characters

He's just so LITTLE

Hare and Bran being fangirls is also my favorite

SDV + SVE bachelors and bachelorettes when the farmer tells them that they really like their name?

Sure thing, dear anon! Thanks for the ask ❤️

_________________________________________

SDV/SVE bachelors:

Heh, Sam became shy by Farmer's compliment, because he knows that they specifically meant his full name, Samson (means "sun"), the one he told them about recently. Not that he thinks it's a bad name, not at all, but Sam sounds more familiar and easier somehow. Oh, and he was teased a bit at school for Samson, but nothing serious! Sammy thanks Farmer for the compliment, but still asks them not to tell anyone his full name, okay?

Yeah, sure... "A gift from Yoba," what a joke... Shane would have laughed if he didn't feel like crap. He'd never really liked his name before, and he'd even considered changing it to something else, but he didn't have the time to deal with the paperwork, and didn't have the money to pay the legal fees. Especially since he was already used to the name, and honestly, after the compliment from Farmer... Maybe it wasn't such a bad name, after all.

Uh... Thanks, Farmer, for this, probably? Sebastian hadn't gotten many compliments in his life, well, at least not from his friends. Much less a compliment on his name. What does the name mean? He doesn't really know, honestly. Sebby wasn't particularly interested in that sort of thing. He would act a little awkward and a slight blush would cover his cheeks, but emo wouldn't forget to thank Farmer for kind words.

Thanks, Farmer. Alex's full name, by the way, is Alexander, and when he was a kid, his mother explained that the name means "defender of mankind." Cool, isn't it? It was also the name of a famous dude who conquered a huge part of the ancient world and the one where Stardew Valley is now located... or something like that, the athlete didn't pay much attention in history class. Well, whatever. Anyway, Alex thanks Farmer for the compliment and suggests hanging out on the beach.

Quite unexpected and unusual, as no one had ever paid Harvey such a compliment before, but thank you! The doctor didn't pay much attention to the origin of his name at all. Just Harvey, pretty common male name in Republic. But after Farmer's words, he was a little curious. Poking around on the internet after work, Harvey found a lot of information on both the origin and great men with the same name. Hmm, it's means "battle worthy", interesting...

Why, thank you so much Farmer, Elliott is pleasantly flattered! He also likes his own name. The origin story of which, by the way, is shrouded in mystery and obscurity. One of the most common meanings has to do with Yoba and has religious meaning, other books he's read have written that it translates to "noble warrior." Intriguing, isn't it? Mysteries or not, the writer is quite happy with the name his parents chose.

*Chuckle* Quite unique name, isn't it? Even a little prophetic, in a sense, as Lance's main weapon against enemies and monsters is a lance (a type of spear). Other sources say the name means "land". Although the gallant adventurer will reveal a little secret to Farmer and tell them that his full name is actually Lancelot. His parents named him so in honour of one of the family's ancestors, who was a noble knight of the Order. Yes, his family has quite a history. Maybe someday Lance will tell Farmer about it... Please accept his gratitude for kind words.

Victor had just recently read a book about the origins and mysteries of different names in the Ferngill Republic, and naturally he looked up his name first of all. Well, the fact that it means "victory" can be guessed immediately and without sources, but the origin... So many sources and so many interesting facts! Oh, sorry Victor, he got a little carried away. And thanks for the compliment, Farmer.

Well actually, Farmer was partly right when, while praising Magnus' name, they also said that it's a rather unique and rare name. That's true, though rare among ordinary people. Among a society of wizards and witches, such as the Castle Village, it's quite a common name. ...Fine, even in the wizards community, the name Magnus is a bit unusual. Did you know, young adept, that your birth name can affect destiny? It's true, and he can tell them above this in his spare time.

SDV/SVE bachelorettes:

Oooh, Emily thanks Farmer and starts telling them quite a long story about all the facts the gem lover knows. That the names chosen by her and Farmer's parents/guardians affect their lives, what kind of character Emily has, that the general character traits of people with the name Emily born in spring are different from the same name bearers born in fall, and so on, for a very long time. No particular complaints, Emily has a great way of telling for that sort of thing.

Hmm, "Haley"... She'd told Farmer before that her name meant "hay-cleaning", which Haley herself was somehow not very fond of. Like, really, her name is so pretty and cute, and this lame hay? She just wishes it meant something else. Her sister's name, for example, was translated from an ancient language as "worthy rival," which was ok and at least interesting. And hers was... just hay clearing. Oh, well, what she do now?

Abigail is surprised by the compliment a bit, but the purple-haired girl is pleased to hear it, thanks Farmer. Hey, want to know something funny? The meaning of her name was one way to tease her father: Abigail translates to "father's joy," which is pretty ironic, since her dad's "joy" is when Abby is helping her mom in the kitchen and not hanging out in the graveyard with a sword. Though considering how much Pierre picked on her for this hobbies, that fact isn't really funny...

"Thanks, got this for my birthday!" It was like Maru had waited forever to say that joke. It turned out comical, Farmer agrees. Jokes aside, but the young inventor is pleasantly flattered by the compliment and thanks her friend for the kind words. As far as her father had told her, according to some sources the name seemed to have roots from the Gotoro Empire, others from the Republic... But Maru had always been more immersed in astronomy and physics than in searching for the mysteries of her name.

Penny blushed slightly at the compliment and tried to hide her face behind her book. It was a complete surprise to her that the new Farmer would give such a compliment to her name on their first greeting. Watching them go about their business farther away, the young teacher thought at first that she had been teased somehow, but the compliment was sincere.... She hadn't gotten many compliments for her name or... anything at all before.

Heh, Farmer should thank Leah's folks for this, they named her that. Well, the artist will say thanks and keep painting. ...Hm? Oh, Farmer waiting for some interesting fact about her name from Leah? Oh well, there are a lot of options: her name means "cow" (charming, isn't it?) or "antelope" (well, it's a bit more favorable, although the girl has nothing against cows. They're cute), or "ruler" - in general, there are a lot of theories... Leah didn't really dwell on it, to be fair.

Sophia was at first easily surprised by the compliment, and on automatic told Farmer thank you. But a couple minutes later, as she started to say more facts about the name, she was paralyzed by memories. That very memory... When little Sophia had asked her mom what does her name means. "Wisdom," replied the smiling mother, and her father nearby started the story of their choice of a name for her. Pardon Farmer, she- she needed a moment...

If Farmer's assumption was that Olivia's name had something to do with olives, they would be quite right. "Olive tree," to be precise. Her name was popularized by a famous writer who wrote an interesting comedy where one of the characters was a rich and beautiful woman with the same name. Farmer agrees with Olivia, right? Also beautiful... And so is her name, heh. Olivia also won't forget to say thank you to the kind Farmer for their words.

Oh, Claire was almost embarrassed at the sudden compliment, but thanked Farmer for the nice words. Though the cashier didn't quite get it about Farmer being told that her name was rare and unique. Really? From what she remembered, the name was pretty common, at least from where she lived, there were definitely at least two people she knew with the name Claire.

It's a cool name, isn't it? Scarlett thanks Farmer and invites them to hang out at her house, maybe play a board game, or she shows them the new costume she's making for the next comicon. What? Uh, what does the name mean? The color red! (Even tho green is her favorite). And that's the color she's gonna use for her new cosplay! Pass her the hammer please, she's about to add a couple details quickly...

Samson: I would like a word with whoever invented double dates because that was not as fun as when it’s just us

Coraline sighed and pulled him in to a hug. They had just got back from a double date with Sierra and Natasha, Samson had had his fill of making small talk.

Coraline: Sammy we survived. And your sibling really likes Natasha, you were doing it for them

Samson: I don’t get how. Hasn’t she been mean to us forever

Coraline: Sometimes hurt people have a front. Let me put is this way, do you trust Sierra?

Samson: Most of the time, not when he’s meddling with my baking

Coraline: *smiles* Then trust she is right about Natasha being good under all the layers of snob and hot headedness. Sierra doesn’t tolerate fools, he wouldn’t bother with her if she wasn’t worth it

Samson: *takes her hands* How do you like everyone

some sam puppyboy antics because i literally can't get this man out of my head.

* we all know he loves to do the "big dog who thinks they're a lapdog" thing where he will literally demand to be little spoon despite being Massive but please consider: sam with a really strong partner who actually picks him up and sam looks like those pics of huge dogs who aren't used to being held.

* loves i mean LOVES having his hair played with . i feel like he'd just spontaneously combust if you ran your fingers through it or scratched his scalp with your nails.

* gets those big, wet puppy eyes when he really wants something and it's impossible to say no to.

"farmer, can we please get/do [crazy antic]"

"sam..."

"🥺🥺🥺🥺"

"fine."

* he probably gets the zoomies lol. like if he's been working on one thing for too long, the energy just starts to build up and he needs to run around to let out some steam.

* definitely sticks his head out of the bus/car window. he's smiling the whole time, too, like a goober. and then you laugh when he gets smacked in the face by a tree branch or road sign.

* takes up the ENTIRE bed when you leave the farmhouse / it takes you too long to return at night and you just shake your head.

* wants to be super helpful so he follows you around the farm. he'd gladly hold your tools for you.

* literally holds anything you give him without hesitation or question. like you hand him a strange black and red egg? sure why not. anything you need him to hold, he's going to hold it like a good boyfriend.

* likes to receive words of encouragement/praise when he's done something good. "i watered the plants!" "oh, good job, sammy. thanks." ":D"

* little treats are a must. he isn't picky, but if you have him a joja cola or a mini pizza, he would be so happy.

* i think it would be hilarious if the farmer were to do the "dog owner talk" just to tease him like "oh, who's a good boy?! who's such a good boy? that's right, it's sammy-wammy!" he thinks it's hilarious, too, a bit annoying but funny nonetheless.

* he just likes being in the same room as you. it doesn't matter what's going on. he could even be on the other side, doing his own thing, but if you walk in you two could sit in silence and he'd be content.

* very physically affectionate & (if you're okay with it) loves to give you affection any chance he can get.

* i think he does that little excited shake/butt wiggley dogs do when their person comes back. he'd just be like yeaaah!!!! probably does it as a joke, but he's still super excited to see you. i think it would actually translate more into him running to the door and wrapping you into the biggest hug ever.

* nicknames & pet names are what you primarily call him but if he does something particularly stupid you just pull out the "samson."

* i think he'll just go off in the woods for a period of time and come back with a random trinket and then he's like "hi. i found this and i brought it back because i thought it was cool & that you'd enjoy it."

* very accident prone & is always covered in bruises from running into things or getting himself hurt.

* can fall asleep anywhere - even in positions that seem physically impossible or extremely uncomfortable.

* unrelated to the puppyboy thing but adhd sam has my heart.

* if you put your hands near his face, he is going to lick you. i'm sorry. like he has a stray hair and you try to push it out of the way? he licked your hand. it's mostly to annoy you and because he wants to be a little goober

* HOWEVER, if he's feeling very soft, he may smoosh his face into your hands and demand you cup his cheeks . just like *gently holds* yk?

* makes little noises or is constantly quoting things. i think he's a big vocal stimmer.

* loves to show you his favorite things!!! it could be some silly video on his phone or whatever but he'd be so proud of it and immediately want to show it to you.

* he would definitely go play in the mud when it's raining outside. you probably have to hose him down with the gardening hose before letting him back in the farmhouse. which also means you'd have to chase him because he does NOT want to shower

adding to this:

* he loves kisses. like a lot. he will definitely cover your face in kisses any chance he gets.

* loves it when you gently hold his face and give him kisses too. bonus points if you give him forehead kisses. he goes crazy for these and doesn't get to receive them that often bc he's so tall.

Skimming SOUTH! by Ernest Shackleton and not sure if anyone has posted this information but he lists the names of almost every dog on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, which are as follows:

Rugby, Upton, Bristol, Millhill, Songster, Sandy, Mack, Mercury, Wolf, Amundsen, Hercules, Hackenschmidt, Samson, Sammy, Skipper, Caruso, Sub, Ulysses, Spotty, Bosun, Slobbers, Sadie, Sut, Sally, Jasper, Tim, Sweep, Martin, Splitlip, Luke, Saint, Satan, Chips, Stumps, Snapper, Painful, Bob, Snowball, Jerry, Judge, Sooty, Rufus, Sidelights, Simeon, Swanker, Chirgwin, Steamer, Peter, Fluffy, Steward, Slippery, Elliott, Roy, Noel, Shakespeare, Jamie, Bummer, Smuts, Lupoid, Spider and Sailor.

Some dogs weren't named. Says Shackleton, "I do not know who had been responsible for some of the names, which seemed to represent a variety of tastes."
