Fly me to the moon miss Magnolia
Bow down befor the Kaiser Oblivion!
Hello! Im slightly back again... with some suprises! I want to share my first 2025 piece iv gotten done for my fav game :) minette and the royal highness's pet Bismarck
my gallery smells like a damn fish market
My theory on Sampo's true identity...
(Minor Spoilers for 2.4) (also, Iâm 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 Sampoâs true identity, and it relates to Finnish mythology.
So, âSampoâ in and of itself doesnât have a set meaning, but it has its roots in Finnish mythology, particularly the âKalevalaâ 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 âThe Sampoâ. Itâs 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, isnât 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 âSampoâ for some flavourâbefitting of a character who magics up relics from seemingly thin air and is trying to create richesâand yeah, itâs a possibilityâŠ
Until I saw these two screenshots from the 2.4 story:
You know what this means, right?Â
Kalevala is a real planet in Hoyoâs 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 Kalevalaâthere is no way this is a coincidence (I refuse to believe it).
This leads me to believe that Kalevala is Sampoâs real home world, and is where he originates from.
Now, this is all well and good, knowing where âThe Sampoâ hails from, but I want to focus on its creatorâSeppo Ilmari(nen)âand his parallels to a certain blue haired conman. For one, Ilmari(nen)âs name is quite interesting as the âIlmaâ part is Finnish for âairâ or âweatherâ, and as we know, Sampoâs element is that of âwindâ (And also the fact that Ilmari(nen) is credited as âGodlike smith-hero and creator of the skyâ. 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 thatâs for another conspiracy theory lol).
So, âIlmaâ means âairâ, and Sampo wields âwindâ.
Cool.
If the parallels ended there, Iâd just say I was being crazy⊠but thereâs more.
Sampoâs 4th (and arguably best) eidolon is called âThe Deeper the Love, the Stronger the Hateâ. 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 âloveâ aspect, wellâŠ
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 canât find a woman. For one, Seppo Ilmari(nen) is double crossed by his so called buddy, VĂ€inĂ€möinen, into creating The Sampo for the evil witch Louhi of Pohjola in exchange for her daughterâs hand in marriage (which, Ilmari didnât even want in the beginning), but when the poor guy actually sees the daughter and falls in love with her (and subsequently creates the Sampoâafter failing miserably a number of times, mind youâhe 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 âunlucky in loveâ spiel was later added by Lönnrot in compiling the Kalevala).
As with any mythology and re-telling of it, thereâs so many different versions of the same event. In âThe Maiden of the Northâ, a 1898 opera written by Oskar Merikanto, both Ilmarinen and VĂ€inĂ€möinen compete for the chance to marry Louhiâs daughter, who is mentioned as being âIlmari(nen)âs first wifeâ who later dies to Kullervoâs curse (apparently she was a bit of a bitch to Kullervo by taunting and tormenting the poor boyâwho 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 callousâhe forges her out of love but only finds hateâso he tries to gift her to VĂ€inĂ€möinen (who doesnât want her, lol), and suggests he cast her back into the furnace and to âforge from her a thousand trinketsâ.
Hereâs 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 Aesopâs fable of âmoney canât buy happinessâ, 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 âSurvival Wisdomâ 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 up (an example being during the museum questline where you discover his identity as âMr Cold Feetâ. Sampo clearly states to who he thinks is his mark that âwe are not friendsâ in a very hostile manner, something which weâve not seen from Sampo before as he is usually quite amicable).Â
For all Sampoâs showboating and flashing his money around, he helps where it counts.
Anyway, back to him being unlucky in loveâŠ
In another rune entitled âKosintaâ, Ilmari(nen) goes on a journey to compete for Hiisiâs daughter, and wins by completing various feats, one of them being âploughing a field full of snakesâ:
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 fangsâŠetc.)
So thatâs 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 Iâm supposed to be talking about Sampo Koski?
Well, thatâs because I think Sampo Koskiâs real name is (or a variant of) Ilmarinen.
In the Hoyo universe, I believe Ilmarinen came from the planet Kalevala and âcreatedâ the persona of Sampo Koski, much like how in the Kalevala, Seppo Ilmari(nen) forged The Sampo.
As Iâve listed above, thereâs so many links between the two:
âAirâ as a name and âWindâ as an element.
Seppo Ilmari(nen) ploughed a field of snakes to win Hiisiâs daughterâs hand in marriage, whilst Sampo Koski relies heavily on snake motifs for his attire.
Sampoâs 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.
Iâm 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! Theyâre both artificers!
And now the revelation that a planet by the name of âKalevalaâ exists is no mere coincidence.
So, either Sampo is Ilmari(nen) - or! - Sampo is a puppet (like Herta) created by someone called Ilmari(nen).Â
(I would love if his 5* version is him with this name).
Right, Iâm finished rambling. Gonna go huff some copium...
Improved Au Ra Tail [DT]
Updated mod, vanilla tails have different uvs now so I converted old textures, they are less fancy, but work fine. Link
Listen I'm sure Nelson took good care of Will and loved that boy like his own son but you can't tell me this didn't happen at least once
Tbqh I feel like Nelson was somehow both of these pics while raising WillâŠsometimes At The Same Time poor dude knew NOTHING
Oh do not get me STARTED on my headcanons bc their dynamic makes me wanna laugh and sob at the same time
But yes this is very accurate. On one hand he would always make sure Will was comfortable talking to him about anything, no matter what, and lets him know that his emotions regarding his father's death are not and will never be a sign of weakness.
And on the other hand he shows Will the Legally Blonde musical because he wants the kid to have positive female role models and Elle Woods was the best he could think of.
PLEASE START I AM THRILLED BY THIS!
Like, what is grief if not love preserving? The sheer Love Nelson had to abandon everything he ever knew and run off to the deep end of parenthood to make sure this traumatized little boy had at least Someone in his corner, like That is Love.
But this is also the same dude that thought giving a then 7 year old Will a cup of coffee would be a good bonding experienceâŠonly to severely Regret It when the normally timid chill kid starts bouncing off the walls in the afternoon.
Im now invested in this thread, I cant get enough of headcanons and honestly so glad to see others sharing them, expessially in the W101 fandom twt
Listen I'm sure Nelson took good care of Will and loved that boy like his own son but you can't tell me this didn't happen at least once
"Mr Nelson... I threw up"
The thrilling sequel
Ngl I honestly made such an ungodly noise at this NAJDWJJREJJFENNFJ OH NO RED
One of these days Im going to just litterally have a shrine of Wonder Blue drawings because yes Im obsessed. Send help.
Listen I'm sure Nelson took good care of Will and loved that boy like his own son but you can't tell me this didn't happen at least once

More Wonder Blue Headcanons Because Why Not?
- Biggest Fear (Aside from losing anything else he cares about) is Ghosts. His reasoning for it? âDude, you can shoot zombies, you can fight against JasonâŠyouâd LOSE against Jason but you can still fight him. You canât fight ghosts! Everything just goes right through them if you can even see them!â
- âThe Impossible is Possible when youâre Wonderful Baby!â Is Absolutely his catchphrase as Wonder Blue and everyone either Loves It or Hates It there is No In Between.
- The man Screams being a 3OH!3 fan and has on at least one occasion, rolled up his car window on someone who was talking while âBlah Blah Blahâ by them and Kesha blared off his speakers.
- I mentioned it in my analysis but Blue is Not Good with Tech. Like, heâs Fine with his phone he can make calls, text, and play music. HoweverâŠthe moment he tries anything more complex It Gets A Bit WildâŠthe amount of laptops he has accidentally broken is Up There. Thing is he doesnât even know How he keeps breaking things heâll like press a button and just gets a Blue Screen lol
- Because of this heâs honestly not much of a gamer lol, his nerdiness is more aligned with stuff like movies/comics/tv showsâŠyou want him to go on a rant for an hour? Ask him his thoughts on the Sequel Trilogy
- Certified Coffee Addict, will drink anything so long as it has caffeine (even with sugar)
- I feel like he def had a delinquent phase in the time after his brotherâs death, regularly getting into fights and failing in school. It served to only enhance his self-isolation as very few people wanted anything to do with him because of his attitude and prickly nature. Oh Goodness heâs a bit of the Hedgehogâs Dilemma isnât he? *chucks them in with peacocks and wolves to describe him*
- Concerning his entrance exam scores heâŠDid Okay? His Field Score was much higher than his Written Score but like it wasnât awful? Similar to his Detective Exam Results.
YASSSSSSSS XD when I saw this go on my notifs I jumped on
I can see him litterally, some how, setting his laptops on fire and his office pc if he attempts it...
And omg him being a comic nerd and just having secret hidden figureines... he probs has a super big stash of movies and comics
Green would totally prank him with ghost pop ups or something xD
THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS!!!
Luka rolls up for Halloween in like those sheet ghosts costumes and pops up behind himâŠThe scream could be heard for Miles.
Funny enough I could see him like inheriting some figures from his brother (who was a HUGE NERD)âŠsentimental value ;;;;;
Omg, topping it off... I wish I could read the comic but I can imagine he sometimes just... speeds while driving if hes hooked on coffee and blasting California girls or what ever he listens to... he has a specific song for high speed chases >>

Casually remembers this meme I made a minute ago that had my friends asking âSheepâŠis Eliot okay?â NoâŠNo He Is Not.
"I dont need no showers I got axe body spray!"
"Why dont women like me?"
LMAO i can imagine him in that scenario too xD
A small collection of my favorite Reds from the official comic. I erased anything that could be kinda spoilery because the comic came out today (kinda, it depends on where you live. I got the email at around 8pm, 6-24-24. It was probably during the day in Japan). They clearly had too many artists working on it and the art styles are very inconsistent. I liked the art of the last chapter the most.
Some things we learn as well as some special highlights that occur in the comic, mild spoilers:
There are doughnuts, and it's funny as hell.
Blue gets strangled in a "kinky" kinda way and it's adorable. I use "kinky" very loosely here.
Meanwhile, the doughnut scenario is incredibly kinky if you're into the same stuff I'm into (if only Red was in that scene).
Blue is rude to a dog, surprisingly and also unsurprisingly.
A dog also gets strangled. It's disgusting and disturbing.
Blue flirts with some random woman during a high speed chase.
Apparently the Wonder-Liner works on animals. It's a shame that never happened in the game.
Luka definitely has a crush on Sue. That was pretty clear in his spin-off title, too.
Red does not decorate his classroom at all. It's very sterile.
White and Yellow just hang out sometimes? They appear to enjoy training together.
Wonder-Black gives a thumbs-up, specifically to a dog, and it's adorable.
Commander Nelson's eyes are only seen in the game once, and in shadow. They appear clearly in the comic in the first panel you see him in and it kinda diminishes the weight of their exposure.
Vorkken eats a cherry, and makes a cute full-cheeks face that is absolutely precious.
The accuracy of characterization in their body language is very good in the epilogue.
Awh man, I want to read it but never got the kick starter twt reee
