Sampo - Blog Posts

argenti meeting sampo randomly and they exchange roses.

sampo accidentally gives him a prank rose and got his face all wet and is like "I'm sorry I meant to give you this one" and argenti is over here "oh no need my friend, it gave me a nice laugh oho"

MORE SAMPO TEXT POSTS ( I promise I'm not obsessed these are low key fun to make)

he's so smug I luv him

like I wanna put him in a blender and watch him spin

Sampo looks into the camera so often I'm starting to think it's intentional

Hsuenhdjxtjqoxthsjxyhjayxjwtdjudujdyy! OH MY GOD!🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵😵‍💫😳😳😳

after knowing sampo canonically disguised himself as a woman (that means he wore dresses) i have not been okay since then

I don't post art because I’m bad at drawing but I drew this for a fic I’m writing because it won’t leave my brain. This is just a black and white version but it’s how I envision the corset I mention. Also, the flowers are supposed to be orange lilies for Reasons.

One thing everyone gets Wrong is Sampo and Gepard drinking. I know everyone thinks Sampo drinks a bunch and is a heavyweight while Gepard doesn’t drink and can’t handle alcohol but. Think.

Gepard grew up in a noble family, and nobles will have parties with lots of alcohol a lot for no particular reason, and he’s a soldier. There is no way he doesn’t drink. Sampo, meanwhile, spends 90% of his time in the Underworld, which is constantly short on supplies let alone something like alcohol. What they do have is probably watered down or really expensive.

What I’m saying is Sampo is three shots in dancing on the table while Gepard is eight shots in and can hold decent conversation.

From what I've noticed, sparkle spoke slower than the way real sampo usually would and was rather deliberate to frame her words in a way that was close to the real sampo but not entirely.

Even though sampo is a very unserious person in most conversations, sparkle leaned in a bit too much into that which made the conversations somewhat distinct from the real sampo.

This detail is again pointed out in the companion quest where sparkle says sampo is on the more serious side of the masked fools, which is pretty interesting and might explain why sparkle impersonated sampo in the way that she did in that she wants to see sampo be more unserious.

I feel like this is reiterated by the voice acting, where fake sampo had slower and a slightly forced way of speech compared to real sampo.

All in all, the VA did amazing and I'm really interested to see how the story unfolds.

More discussion with spoilers mentioned below:

Regarding the story and whatnot. I'm gonna have to listen to the dialogue again later. Tbh I was too busy gushing over Mr. Rose's voice in general and the fact that "Sampo" was there to notice the differences between how he speaks and how Sparkle portrayed him! I was blinded by love and deceived so easily 😩

i wonder if Sampo assumed that The Nameless were Masked Fools at first

i thought this whole beginning spiel he does was just him thinking the Nameless were Underworlders -> but that doesn't make sense when later it's revealed that literally almost everyone on Jarilo-VI knows who the Silvermane are

this isn't even five minutes into introductions and Sampo's already treating them like they're all part of one big- and pardon the pun- inside joke. i wouldn't even put it past him if he was purposefully using double entendres in case he was wrong -> "pricing your stock" can also refer to attributing your strong points//talents -> "same side" "same line of work" "charade" "vigilance" "sincerity" "an art to it all" Sampo frequently refers to their 'shared job' with entertainment monikers

i think he realizes relatively soon after this entire conversation that the Nameless are, in fact, not Fools though- so he doesn't ever hedge closer to the subject aside from calling himself a "senior in the field"

also he changes his phrases so that they're more reminiscent of his conman occupation rather than his Fools occupation

im also pretty sure he immediately pegged us as offworlders too?? -> this is after saying Jarilo-VI was uninhabitable anywhere other than Belobog
