i was watching Sampo cutscenes for a fic im writing and-
-> the fic in question <-
Sparkle just- immediately gave herself up in Penacony, right? like- i was watching the scene where she was following Stelle and Firefly and this man does not carry himself like that [and especially doesn’t talk that flatly]
obviously, the most clear tell was when she mistook Firefly for March but-
he never introduces himself as just 'Sampo'
-> it's literally always with his last name, even when he's just speaking in third person: "Sampo Koski" or "your friend Sampo Koski"
the only time he doesn't is when he's saying "Sampo's friends" or the like
-> which has so far only been twice and one of which was when the Nameless were passing out
she got close here, with the cheeky wink, but misses with his smile and eyes
-> Sparkle's brows are pinched and her eyes curl upwards, her smile is more forced
-> Sampo's eyes lilt downwards and he's got a lazy sort of satisfaction about him
[i think it's just the lighting but her colors are darker too]
Sparkle, ironically, plays his character a bit too shy i think
Sampo is loud and lilting and takes up as much space as he can until he doesn’t. He’s distracting and leading with flailing limbs and forced clumsiness before he’s gone in the time it takes to blink. He’s reserved, but subtly so, and walks with a sort of laidback confidence and swagger that belies his goofiness
He leans forward when he talks, Sparkle leans back
She waltzes into a conversation, Sampo just appears
Sampo feels like a natural presence in a conversation but Sparkle’s dialogue as him is all stilted and awkward as she overplays his silliness

Rewatching She Ra for the hundredth time cuz I’m gay trash and ?
I adore queen Angella. She really captures “mom/leader” well. In so many fictional stories the parents are kinda “yup okay go off and fight then” or the parents are dead. It is SO REFRESHING to have a more realistic mom who is like “wtf explain this nO YOU CANT GO FIGHT WTF SIT DOWN UR GROUNDED”
11/10 best mom writing I’ve ever seen haha

II «The Lips»
I raise a monument of love
We are just two cores,
and all the distance that we fly on the way to each other is our desire to gain power over our hearts.
Overcome by curiosity, we fall in love with an illusion.
There are so many peaks to climb, and we are blinded by the promises of millions of stars.

Himeko and Welt are fr the Astral Express crew's parents
The two care about them all so much, it's so cute bc like- it's the way March will hype Welt up at every given opportunity and the way Himeko will make sure that they all have her support without feeling coddled and the way Dan Heng tries to take care of all of them in any way he can and rahhhhh i love them.
all to say- i do think Dan Heng is Himeko's favorite
-> at the very least, i think he's definitely a smidge closer to her bc he's been on the Express longer and she's the one who brought him aboard
that’s his mama, idc what anyone says
Dan Heng is so loved by The Nameless and i just don’t think he realises that 😭
