I Wanted To Make A Cute Bento…

Thieves In Time Redux Progress Meme

Because the fun stuff is in the later episodes.

I'm still working on Paris. Just... at a slower rate than before.

my thoughts upon completing Flight of Fancy for the 2648134th time

1. Penelope (under the Black Baron disguise) serves as a pretty solid combat match for Sly. Bentley over binocucom claims the Black Baron has trained for 10 years as a boxer. Why is Penelope thus regarded as so useless out on the field by herself, and only used for her RC car, when she’s actually a decent fighter, especially when you count this was all made more difficult underneath a massive costume?

2. Penelope mentions in a cutscene that she used the Black Baron disguise because of strict age requirements. The age requirement would probably be either 18 or 21, considering the ruthless and unforgiving nature of dogfighting. Does this mean she’s still a minor when Bentley is dating her? (Or, has she been using the Black Baron as a persona for a few years now?). Still…..d r a m a . 

Bentley I thought you had more morals than this

Murray wasn’t kidding when he said you’ve got more devious over the years

If Sly 2 ever got remade, I would love to see Bentley get a bowling attack.

What is that?

Well, it's starts with a running start, and then with the square button he'd fall into his shell and knock over any enemy in front of them.

Like uh... like this!

Please tell me to do Silan and Meridah as well or else my week is gonna be nothing but doodles of my turtle waifu.

hi! I have a question, how do I write the movements of a ballerina? I'm writing a novel and now I'm at the part where my protagonist is dancing ballet for an audience in the theater. Could you help me with how to write her movements? I'm in doubt about how to write this

Some Ballet Vocabulary

Adagio: “Slow tempo.” In ballet, a tempo in which the dancer moves slowly and gracefully.

Allegro: “Brisk tempo.” In ballet, a tempo in which the dancer moves briskly and excitedly.

Allongé: “Elongated.” An adjective used to describe poses that are stretched and elongated, like an arabesque.

Arabesque: A pose in which the dancer stands on one leg—either straight or demi-plié, and either flat-footed or en pointe—while extending the other leg straight behind at a right angle. The shoulders are square with the arms held to create a long line from fingertips to toes.

Arriére: "Backwards." A move that indicates backwards movement or motion.

Ballón: “To bounce.” A light jump. Used to indicate the delicacy of the movement or jump.

Chaseé: To slide.

Elevé: A rise upward onto the toes.

En l’air: "In the air." Indicates a movement or leg position that is held in the air.

Fondu: To melt (a melting action).

Frappé: To strike (like lighting a match on the floor).

Glissade: To glide.

Jeté: To throw.

Pas de deux: A “dance for two,” or duet, in classical ballet.

Petit saut: A small jump.

Pirouette: A complete turn of the body on one foot, either turning inward or outward, with the body centered over the supporting leg, the arms propelling the turn but remaining stationary during the turn, and the eyes “spotting” a fixed point while the head quickly turns.

Promenade: A slow pivot of the body while standing on one leg.

Rèvèrence: “Bow”. Traditional port-de-bras and port-de-corps showing respect and gratitude to the ballet master or audience.

Tournant: “Turn.” A term paired with a movement to indicate a body turn.

Variation: A solo in classical ballet.

Although ballet actually began in Italy, it was formalized in France in the 17th century. Ballet terminology has remained largely in the French language. Ballet dancers across the world learn and can communicate with this universal ballet vocabulary.

Hope this helps with your writing! If I wasn't able to include the right words you need, you can go through the sources. Still, remember your readers when describing the scene — perhaps some of them might not be familiar with these terminologies.

Penelope is still Bentley’s nerdy and cutie gf, thrives in time NEVER HAPPENED

Episode 1 Progress (Thieves In Time Redux)

And here's what I've been focusing on...

I don't know. You tell me how to write anything that goes on in that geisha house. And Rioichi's dialogue.

My solution is to find stuff for Penelope to do in the background so I don't have to worry about anything Rioichi does. And it's perfect because at this point in the story, Penelope's not exactly going to be a team player yet.

I don't dislike Rioichi. I just don't want to write for him.

Sly 3 scenes: After the blinding dust incident

As you’ve probably figured out by now, I have a thing for imagining what happened “behind the scenes” in my favorite series. XD I loved how Bentley and Penelope’s love story played out. But I think it would have been a bit better if we had gotten more scenes with them interacting as buddies and growing closer before Penelope’s shining moment of romantic badassery at the end of the Pirate level. Also, I think it would make sense for Penelope to be more upset by her initial screw ups in the field than she let on. So I like to think that Bentley reassured her while he helped her get the blinding dust out of her eyes and, after having his first real in depth conversation with her, came to see her as a friend/person first instead of just viewing her as a potential girlfriend. And that she warmed up to him after he stopped being so damn pushy and just treated her like a normal person.

Day 8; Memories

“I feel like we tend to forget that even if the persona was fake, Penelope-as-the-Baron was still totally able to fight Sly on the side of a moving airplane without much effort and punch hard enough to throw him back. How the heck did she get kidnapped? I feel like she could have coldcocked Lefwee in three seconds, looted his wallet, and bailed.“
