I spent literal months going “man I wish they’d release a character with a flapper-inspired design for Penacony since it’s inspired by 1920’s America and whatnot” whilst maining and constantly staring at Aventurine the entire time before it clicked for me that he’s the resident flapper and his outfit is basically a 50/50 fusion of both masculine and feminine 20’s aesthetics actually and that’s like pretty cool
And then I went “but what if we dialed the flapper aesthetic up to 100” just for funsies because I wanted to see what it’d look like. So here you all go
Where the FUCK is “Hoes Mad, Reblog to have a karkalicious 2009”
bitches love my startled effeminate shriek

honestly there's no doubt in my mind that sampo is an emanator of aha like. i think hoyo would have to throw a massive curveball at me for me to be doubtful so much jus seems to work in him being an emanator
and i want to know so much about it cuz i mean. he's a FORMER masked fool. we heard him talk to giovanni about how he disagrees with other fools' ideas of elation. he clearly dislikes sparkle for that reason in that her idea of elation includes hurting people and causing harm. he seems to have a very... like in terms of his own ideas of elation, he's very moral? he has strong morals in that regard and disdain for people who follow elation through causing harm to other people and forms of elation that is at other peoples expense.
which as an emanator. i wonder if he even Wants to be an emanator. like sure he engages in his own chaos and hasnt abandoned elation fully but he seems to reject a lot of others who follow the elation. like it could very much be that in leaving/rejecting the masked fools and abandoning his mask, that was his attempt to abandon being an emanator at all.

Don't you just love how Sampo's wanted poster has a much more "clean" look compered to the Astral Express' crew? Like:
The linework for the Astral Express crew is wonky and shaky, showing that they were made in a rush (I mean look at March's right eye). The hands... there's like 2-3 fingers.
Sampo's on the other hand... The linework is clean (if not a bit wonky), the expression is clear in what it wants to convey, and the colours are inside the lines.
Really shows who has been the Belobog menace for the longest time.
Then, before Capitano can reach him to cut him down, the boy turns. He is Snezhnayan, by his pallid complexion and hollow cheeks, and a little bit older than Capitano saw by the back of him- but still a boy, and perhaps still too young even to be made a soldier. A shame, to throw one’s life away so young. Capitano takes in the firm set of his shoulders and the Vision at his hip and sees, for a moment, a past so far gone it should be lost completely, folded away and washed out to sea like so much sand. Righteous conviction, baseless ambition. A mirror.
capitano character study! i think about him a lot. and his struggles... oh man his struggles.... his suffering <3 his body horror entire existence <3 what a dreamboat am i right or am i right
im actually going insane HES REAL AND HES STUNNING
