View of the Dawn Throne from below on a foggy morning.

L to R: Sam, Eric, and Thancred looking up as they approach the Dawn Throne.

[EXT. DAWN THRONE, BASE - FOG]
Eric: "You see, my friends? As promised, we've arrived in time. This structure is quite the sight to see at this hour, wouldn't you say? Let us hope that Lord Cailan isn't too upset by the close nature of our arrival."

"Let a motherfucker try it" vs. "C'mere, little fella"

"Outfit, my ass, you're just posing me naked again."

[EXT. - KUGANE, UMINEKO TEAHOUSE]
Sam: "Any luck?"
Thancred: "Afraid not. All the ferries passing through the Ruby Sea are booked up. Suppose this is what we get for waiting to attend this wedding until the last minute."
#SamuelMathisWoL #Samcred

Yes, Sam, you.
#SamuelMathisWoL

#SamuelMathisWoL

Sam's appearance is largely dictated by his backstory. The mismatched eyes come from an old injury that rendered him blind in his left eye, the tattoos at his eyes are from his old tribe, and the white in his hair is a result of Hydaelyn's blessing.
#SamuelMathisWoL

Throw me something good.
Sam only, because he's completely through the story up to Dawntrail.
#SamuelMathisWoL

Sam was once a respected warrior and leader of his tribe, the Dacia Nomads, but his own hubris and reckless attitude cost him everything, even the sight in his left eye. He was exiled from his tribe, abandoned by his family, and left for dead.
Clearly he's overcome all that, though.
#SamuelMathisWoL

Fun fact, OP and I both went the Prometheus route.
Prometheus (Sam, right) and Demeter (Kronke, left)
Azem so seems like the type to steal power from the gods and give it to mankind.
Demeter, in Greek mythology, oversees agriculture, and Kronke is a big nature guy.
#SamuelMathisWoL #KronkeWoL

"I know he's gone, but for me? He'll always be there- in every corner and every shadow."
#ThancredWaters #SamuelMathisWoL #Samcred #Lahabrea

Sam and Kronke stand saluting in the uniforms of their Grand Companies: Twin Adders and Malestrom, respectively. Thancred and F'lhaminn look on with pride.

The Storm and the Serpent (ft. their proud partners)

Overhead shot of Sam's kitchen: Kronke and F'lhaminn are near the stove, while Sam and Thancred sit at the table.

Thancred, asking Sam a question.

Sam, considering his answer to Thancred's question.

Kronke, flipping an egg.

[INT. MATHIS/WATERS ESTATE - KITCHEN]
Thancred: "Sam, I've been meaning to ask you something. How exactly is it that you came to meet Kronke in the first place?"
#SamuelMathisWoL #KronkeWoL #ThancredWaters

Ardbert, sandwiched between Sam (back) and Thancred (front)

Thancred getting head from Ardbert

Sam, taking Ardbert from behind

Sam asleep in the Pendants apartment, ejaculating from his rather erotic dream.

It happened once in a dream.

Sam and Raul walking into the jail in Hhusatawi jail, engaged in conversation.

Both Sam and Raul spot something amiss in one of the holding cells.

Sam and Raul are seen approaching the cell through the bars

Raul is confused by the discovery, while Sam looks absolutely unenthused.

Sam: "So, Raul, adjusting to your new position well?"
Raul: "Yes, quite well! Kemakka and the rest of the Dustwatch have been very welcoming- huh, that's odd, I didn't know an arrest was made today."
Sam: "Looks like it."
Raul: "That's odd, why- wait, who are YOU?"

#SamuelMathisWoL #RaulVPR

I've taken a page from @rorajandelaine.bsky.social and started having new characters have sex with my older characters as an initiation of sorts.
Here's Sam initiating Raul in the Hhusatawi jail.

Say less.
#SamuelMathisWoL

They're all his family, but Sam grew closer to the Scions supporting Wuk Lamat during the Rite of Ascension in Dawntrail. Of course, it goes without saying he's closest with Thancred and, by extension, Urianger. And, of course, he always checks on Tataru.
#SamuelMathisWoL

Sam, fucking hyped as Theo breaks out the glowsticks.

View from lower right of Sam, Theo visible in the background.

Frontal view of Sam's hype mode.

Theo, finally having cheered the fuck up.

Sam: 🎵"I'M ON FIRE, BURNING BRIGHTER THAN ANYONE ALIVE! I'M WAY TOO HOT TO TOUCH, SO JUST REMEMBER IF YOU TRY: EVERYTHING BURNS!" 🎵
#SamuelMathisWoL #TheodisMachini

Sam: 🎵 "EVERYTHING BURNS! LIGHT IT UP, LET'S GO! LIGHT IT UP, LET'S GO! EVERYTHING BURNS! LIGHT IT UP, LET'S GO! LIGHT IT UP, LET'S GO!" 🎵
#SamuelMathisWoL #TheodisMachini

Sam, playing and singing, taking this job seriously.

Again, this time his eyes have closed.

Again, eyes open.

Again, eyes closed and smiling.

Sam: 🎵"Never had a choice, never let the ops win. Calm them nerves, got the whole world watching. Ready, set, go and there ain't no stopping. Got one option: light it up." 🎵
#SamuelMathisWoL #TheodisMachini

Theo, again, looking down at Sam with a serious expression.

Sam looking slightly concerned.

Theo, hands on hips bisexually and angy.

Sam, realizing he means business.

(2) Theo: "If you can play it for him, you can play it for me."
Sam: "But I don't think-"
Theo: "If *he* can stand it, then so can I! Now, play!"
Sam: "Okay, Theo, you're the boss."
#SamuelMathisWoL #TheodisMachini

Sam and Theo in a lounge type area. Sam sits behind a piano, while Theo stands over him, looking down at the keys.

Theo looks down at Sam with a serious expression on his face.

Sam looks up at Theo, confused.

(1) Theo: "Hey Sam, what's that you're playing?"
Sam: "Oh, just messin' around."
Theo: "Stop it, you know what I want to hear."
Sam: "...no, I don't."
#SamuelMathisWoL #TheodisMachini

Gaius Caster, shirtless and standing in front of a wall with plants covering it, fans himself as he comments on the heat.

Pan out, L-R: Gaius, Samuel Mathis, Thancred Waters, and Kronke Pepekrankenitz are all wearing swim briefs while seated in a sauna.

Gaius: "Gosh, it's like a sauna in here!"

#SamuelMathisWoL #KronkeWoL

This may feel like a cop-out, but they both get an equal amount of attention. Sam's features are strinking and eye-catching, while Kronke has a rather unique way of dressing.
#SamuelMathisWoL #KronkeWoL

Fun fact: Sam got the last name Mathis by combining the first half of Malu with the first half of Thistle, as he was technically born with no surname.
#SamuelMathisWoL

And finally, Malulu Malu, also known as Malu of the Thistle.
A retired member of the Archer's Guild that moved out to the Sagoli Desert for a quiet life of solitude. Found Sam near death in the sands, and nursed him back to health, and encouraged him to go to Gridania.
