Are all the Masked Fools on Asat Pramat's hitlist...? Will Sampo have to fight him one day!? 🎭

[Jas @laventelis]

I'm going crazy, all of this applies to Sampo as well right??

"Sampo" is literally the name of a mythological device, said to give infinite gold!

His Holy Grail wish was for everyone to be "happy, joyful and free" !!

[Jas @laventelis]

@ohlinaer They keep bringing up this idea that "masks" are tied to "identity". The "mask" that Enroute left behind, was also him abandoning his identity as a Masked Fool. Completely renaming himself and burying his past.

Sampo would then possibly be that "abandoned identity" 🤔

[Jas @laventelis]

Hmmmm my current 'crazy Sampo theory' is that he is the "mask" abandoned by Enroute, back when he left the Masked Fools.

[Jas @laventelis]

@Root603729 It think that maybe the 4.0 story of Sparkle and Spaxicle (with inverted hair colors!), + Sparkles' masks having their own identities!,, was a setup for the eventual "Asat Pramad and Sampo are technically the same person" reveal.

But that might just be crazy copium.......

[Jas @laventelis]

@moonelation They game keeps comparing them in every way... Cosmicon collective, caring for kids, even sleeping nude 😭

One that kills me... is that one of the "emoticon faces" that Asat uses, is identical to the logo Sampo used on his website (in the coldfeet pop-up shop event) 😭

[Jas @laventelis]

@Charles_Sacred4 I'm not sure, but aren't the "Phantasmoon Game mask" and "Masked Fool mask" different things? Don't you get a new mask when you join the game specifically?

Otherwise only the Fools would be participating

Unless Asat was able to join the game using his old mask somehow?

[Jas @laventelis]

Especially when they are still so similar to each other.

*insert pic with the gazillion similarities between Sampo, Asat Pramad, Enroute, Isee*

[Jas @laventelis]

Sampo never gets on the Astral Express, because Pom Pom would recognize him "looking like" Isee. And that would be an awkward conversation to explain.

And really, how do you deal with a separate version of you going insane and becoming a Lord Ravager?

@Ship_ship__ I posted it! It's a little bit long thread 😅

[Jas @laventelis]

I really hope sampo gets more presence in the 4x story, but it's looking less likely.

I would also love to talk more about Kalevala, but I worry that aspect of his lore will be quietly abandoned...

[Jas @laventelis]

A really good website for everything Kalevala, is https://t.co/HwSYW9l03g , though you will need to use a translator if dont know Finnish.

It has all poems, explanations, characters, etc.
Super useful, if you're curious to learn about Kalevala!

I hope you enjoyed this thread 💙

[Jas @laventelis]

Remember when at the end of that one Event, Sampo randomly started singing to himself?

Well, it was actually lyrics from a real song, from Kalevala!
If you're curious to hear what it sounds like, I have links below! 🧵🎶 #Sampo #hsr

[Jas @laventelis]

The "Sampo arc" is only one of the stories in Kalevala, but it's a pretty famous one. It is the poems from 6 to 10.

The specific song/poem/rune that Sampo sings, is the 10th one!

[Jas @laventelis]

@Ship_ship__ Okay, I will make a small post about it! It's fine if even one person is curious about it ^^
