Post Sam Bucket Stream [2022/09/09] Sam Bucket Notes

I wanted to get some notes down from the post Sam Bucket finale stream that I found interesting because I'm trying to see if Sam Bucket connects to c!Sam multiple bodies lore. Transcriptions and my ramble-y notes about them under the cut!

The latest c!sam lore proved to me that Sam Bucket very well COULD be a body of c!sam, just not in the a way i originally thought. I used to think Sam Bucket was the c!Sam body that got trapped with the Egg and had to eat his own flesh, but the other Sam Bucket streams put a wrench in that idea by stating that Sam Bucket found the Egg before c!Bad did, and by saying he'd previously sacrificed a different group of people to it.

I thought, okay, clearly this is a different guy from a long time ago who's just kinda weird. No c!sam relation at all, this is just some other guy, and him having all of these similarities to c!Sam is mostly coincidence.

But now with the recent c!sam lore, I think the "Sam Bucket is one of c!sam's bodies" headcanon holds some water again.

c!sam is so many copies down that he no longer remembers his OG body and memories. Meaning it's entirely possible there were other bodies and memories he forgot, too.

it kind of explains the Fran and Francis' names being so similar thing, plus Sam Bucket being as obsessed with bringing Francis back to life as c!sam is obsessed with keeping Fran safe. The Sam Bucket storyline feels like a glimpse into an alternate version of c!sam where he DID lose Fran, and it shows what desperate measures c!sam would likely turn to if his closest companion ever died.

This could also be why c!sam was immediately so terrified of the Egg and calls it "creepy bad juju" when he first lays eyes on it, because he's already lived a life where he's been corrupted by it and sacrificed all his friends to it. He might not remember living Sam Bucket's life, but the fear trigger, the trauma, is still there several incarnations down the line.

It also explains why c!sam and Sam Bucket are said to look exactly alike and why they share a name. It's possible c!sam goes by a different name every incarnation to keep people off his "sam's immortal" trail. Maybe Sam "Bucket" is the name he chose for that vessel. Either that or Sam Bucket chose that name later to differentiate himself from the other Sams. Not sure.

But it is totally possible that Sam Bucket is a c!sam who lost most of his mind to the Egg and now only remembers a select few things, like Francis, his name, and his task to contain the Egg and make sure it doesn't escape and hurt anybody else. The tragedy is, just like c!sam with c!dream, Sam Bucket fails his task. The Egg DOES escape. just like c!dream escapes. A "history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes" type of deal.

I personally think Sam Bucket is a sliver of c!Sam's consciousness that continues to haunt that body. Sam Bucket is not quiet a ghost, but he's similar to one. He's a fragment, an echo of a past life.

With that in mind, I also think Sam Bucket teleporting around the server might not be him actually teleporting via, like, magic or ghostly powers or anything. I think it might be that Sam Bucket has his own stasis chambers around the server, just like the ones c!sam has.

Do ya want some Groundbucket in these trying times?

Some Sam Buckets and Ground Goblins!

Sam Bucket can’t interact with most people yet he’s not a ghost cause he didn’t die. but he is KIND of like a ghost. and he’s not a god but he can’t be killed and also he can teleport.....

bruh what the hell is this guy

Came up with designs for The Ground Goblin and Sam Bucket!

this bucket is going to remain my pfp until my honey bumkin Sam Bucket comes home from the war

C!punz and his flirting with any iteration of Sam means one thing. If he ever met Sam Bucket, you know he’d start bustin some moves

where is he? i miss him....

Forgotten fountain in the woods, strange and foreboding, Witness to unspeakable things. It flows with water poured from the pails of ancient, childish demigods Who act as rivals until the façade drops as one worries for the other, “Are you yourself, dearest menace?” And his companion answers—"I feel like myself, golden friend, rival and equal” Only to later glimpse the dark figment lurking about the corner, Reaching for buckets filled with the earthly waters of the world For sick, cult-like enjoyment.

He must be tangible, Yet maybe the bucket-entity is a false memory implanted by hungry spores, The remains of a plague hanging over these lands like a reaper While foxes sneak unsuspecting glances into the maw of starving blooms who cry, “I’m right behind you—do you hear me? Come to me. Sit upon an open throne labeled Reserved Seating For there is always room for one more in the banquet hall. Did nobody warn you Of the inviting, dark forces Growing from the soils of this broken server As yet-hatching atrocities and foreboding fountains, Crimson vines, and hellish nightmares?

Worry not. Worry not. You will forget your troubles soon enough. Come and join us in our banquet hall. Dance and pour the waters of stolen pails into the fountain. Make a wish, demons and demigods and foxes, And for the price of your free mind, it shall be yours.”
