Headcanon that Sampo never had a stuffed animal. To him it's not a big deal, but when Hook hears about it she and the other Moles decide to make a stuffed animal for his birthday (with Natasha's help), which ends up being a small fox with green downturned eyes.
Only problem is, they don't know when Sampo's birthday is (if he even has one)

elation!sampo m.list
— what the stars reveal: general analysis, summary
— word count: under 1k
— overview: a general explanation of how i use elation!sampo, what i mean by it, and what theories it includes
☆━━━━━ ⋆⁺。˚⋆˙‧₊☾ ◯ ☽₊‧˙⋆˚。⁺⋆ ━━━━━━☆
✩ ‧₊˚ ⌞ WHAT IS ELATION!SAMPO? ⌝
I use “Elation!Sampo” as an umbrella term to account for both Aha!Sampo and Emanator!Sampo theories, as well as any adjacent theories and possible combinations of the two. Since a lot of my ideas include major overlap between “Aha” as the Aeon of Elation and “Emanators” as enforcers of that Aeon’s will, I figured it would be helpful to have a specific term for “a version of Sampo whose identity closely intertwines with the Elation.” (Alternatively, “a Sampo who operates in the higher echelon of the Elation.”)
This way, I can account for the “grey area” between states of consciousness without having to overburden my writing with long definitions!
✩ ‧₊˚ ⌞ THEORIES ⌝
Since Elation!Sampo is an umbrella term, it can include a multitude of different theories. Beyond strictly “Sampo is Aha” and “Sampo is an Emanator” theories, it addresses the space between the two, like dual/split/separate consciousness, Sampo as a creation of Aha, former Aeon theories, and the like.
✩ ‧₊˚ ⌞ THE BIG STUFF (EVIDENCE) ⌝
Before I start my main analysis, I figured I’d give a short and sweet rundown of Elation!Sampo’s biggest clues:
— His bomb burst (Surprise Present) connects to Aha’s “surprise” bombing of the Express that happened before the events of the main story.
— His E2, “Infectious Enthusiasm,” is the exact same wording used in Aha’s introduction in the Simulated Universe.
— Both Sampo and Aha refer to themselves in third person. As of 2.2, Sampo makes nearly thirty third-person references to himself (I will make a later post detailing every time this occurs).
— Sampo refers to himself as an “old timer” in his conversation with Sparkle. While this could indicate a number of Elation!Sampo possibilities, it directly points to longevity, something that an immortal being would possess.
— In the dream bubble he shows us in Penacony (directly based on his Dreamscape), Sampo takes the form of a larger version of himself — something we’ve seen before with Phantylia’s transformation as an Emanator of Destruction.
— In the Astral Express’s dream bubble, we see Pom-Pom confront a faceless Aha. However, we the player don’t even hear Their voice, instead having to choose between voiceovers from different Crew members. Despite knowing for a fact They took a human appearance at this time, we don’t get any identifying features — perhaps because we’ve met Them already, and hearing or seeing Them would ruin the “surprise.”
— As of 2.2, Sampo is also the only early game character without a companion quest. Therefore, we never see him on the Express. A reason for this may be because he has an aversion to being seen or heard by Pom-Pom, who would be able to recognize him. While he may be getting a companion quest later on, the more time goes by without him having a quest, the more suspicious it becomes. After all, he’s the only “Belobog” character to not have one.
— Boothill…… What do you mean by that……?
There are many other, smaller clues littered throughout HSR, but these are the ones I always feel like screaming from the rooftops when this topic is brought up. Again, I’ll be going into the specifics in my analysis posts!

skirk redesign!! :D

it's so funny how sampo was totally unbothered by ena's dream in penacony.... presuming he did, in fact, do sparkle that favor for his mask, because otherwise. that doesn't make much sense for nothing to be real. it was still real, just in a shared dream. anyway. dude took part in a terrible play that he vocally hated just to get something back from someone he can't stand, didn't say hi, and left
trash pandas
