I'm a 27 year old poet who analyzes her favorite songs for fun! I put heavy focus on diction (the choice of words and phrases) and connotation (the idea, feeling, or "vibe" a word invokes in addition to literal meaning) -- which, together, lend themselves to a narrative (the representation in art of an event or story). Welcome!

⋇⊶⊰❦⊱⊷⋇⊶⊰❦⊱⊷⋇ ANALYSIS DISCLAIMER! My analyses will always be celebrations of the art, and never interrogations toward the artist. Thinking too much and peeling back the layers I see is just a way for me to show appreciation toward pieces I admire! The following discussions and interpretations are not affiliated with the artist nor do I have any intent of overstepping. As a poet myself, I'd never want to disrespect another's work by reducing it to harmful subject searching and theorization that infiltrates the artist's intimacy and boundaries. Also, Urban Dictionary is not welcome here. ⋇⊶⊰❦⊱⊷⋇⊶⊰❦⊱⊷⋇

— disclaimer: all analyses and interpretations are my own subjective opinion; i draw from my experiences as a writer and reader, but i'm not an objective authority by any means. there are many other valid interpretations aside from my own, and i love hearing about other ideas (i'm a bit of a multitheorist myself)! i'm just here to have fun :3

✩ ‧₊˚ ⌞ SAMPO ANALYSIS PROJECT (2024) ⌝

— a compilation of my original analyses for sampo koski from honkai star rail

note: this is my own interpretative opinion — it’s fine if you don’t agree! i know a lot of people don’t subscribe to these ideas, just as a lot of people do. this is an analysis i’m doing for fun and i understand there are many different & valid interpretations people can have, so please be chill. i’d love to hear any additional theories or information anyone wants to share as long as it’s respectful! thanks 🪐

⟢ i use "analysis" as a catch-all term for theories, waxing poetic, ranting, and traditional analysis. be aware that my english major brain often throws all of these together in one big pot when i'm talking about anything lol. most analyses will also be under the ⌞ ✎ sunder.writes ⌝ tag.

⟢ it should go without saying that everything here is my own opinion/interpretation. i am perfectly fine with (and in fact encourage!) people seeing things differently than i do. please do not start discourse over anything i post. thank you !!
