Here’s yet another “Behind the Scenes” comic.
Bentley and Penelope both come across as MAJORLY socially awkward dorks who don’t have much experience in the romance department. So I can imagine them going a wee bit overboard in the honeymoon phase just after they officially become an item (and annoying the hell out of their team mates in the process).
FUN FACT: My main reason for doing this comic was the desire to put Dimitri’s final line into a story (that part was the first thing I wrote; the rest of the comic was tailored around it). XD
Petition for Sly 3 to get a proper sequel that’s just the girls kicking ass
…..does the sly cooper fandom still exist
did the sly cooper fandom ever exist
Let's do a meme starring our very own Sly Cooper for a change... This happens during Episode 3, right after Carmelita comes back...
Sly does this after taking advice from Bentley to be more honest with Carmelita. He takes that advice. It backfires. Horribly.
Guess what? Penelope gets to see them fighting. Again. Another peek into that dark future. She does not want her relationship with Bentley to turn into whatever those two are doing. If you've been paying attention, she's just gone through her change of heart by now.
Our heroine then decides to keep her secret of betrayal... Kind of like what Sly tried to do with Carmelita... That's not going to blow up in her face at all!
For those of you who picked Sly to still fight Le Paradox, don't worry. I already have a solution. Sly still gets to participate.
Let's first set the stage for Episode 6. Penelope has been keeping her secret of betrayal all game. She also underwent a change of heart. At the end of last episode, Le Paradox outed her. This happened right when Sly, Bentley, and Murray's trust in her was at an all time high.
Thankfully, by the time this reveal happens, Penelope has already finished her march towards heroism and refuses the skunk's offer to rejoin him.
The boys are furious with Penelope. But she has a chance to redeem herself... if she behaves during the blimp raid. She doesn't think she'll be allowed to stay if she simply does as she's told, so she does them one better... and volunteers herself as mission leader.
Who better to lead our heroes to victory than the blimp's chief designer herself? It does take a bit of convincing, but Bentley, Murray, and Sly in that order do end up agreeing.
You all remember what else happened at the end of Episode 5: Carmelita's kidnapping.
Near the end of the rescue mission, Penelope feels a need to pursue the villain of this story. In her mind, she can definitely finish atoning for everything she did if she defeats him... all by herself. If she doesn't (or can't) do it alone, her attempt won't count. She gives chase. Bentley in particular tries to convince her not to, but his pleas fall on deaf ears. She gives him one last kiss before running off in tears.
Cue the final boss fight. Penelope vs. Le Paradox. Over the course of their duel, the skunk says a few things to make her lose her focus...
"Those friends of yours will never forgive you, even if you can take me down!"
"Why do you bother trying to redeem yourself? It's hopeless!"
"You'd be much better off if you rejoined me. Just in case your precious friends don't take you back. I'll be your friend."
Of course, our heroine tells him to stuff it. She'd rather die a hero than live long enough to betray her friends again.
And then... Penelope gets disarmed. Knocked down. The villain nearly gets his chance to finish her off... only for Sly Cooper to jump in and save her. Turns out he heard most of that conversation.
This wasn't what she wanted... Now her attempt won't count! But Sly says that's not how redemption works. She is allowed to ask for help.
Like the heroes they are, Sly and Penelope double team the villain, and are soon joined by Bentley, Murray, Carmelita, and the ancestors.
With her morale restored, Penelope takes it upon herself to finish the skunk off. Complete with a speech on what she learned about friendship.
The game ends with Sly not getting lost in time, and Penelope staying with her friends.
yea

How to Make the Ultimate Playlist for Your Novel 🎧✨
Writing a novel is all about vibes, and what better way to get in the zone than by crafting a playlist that captures every moment, every emotion, and every heart-flipping scene? Whether you’re in the middle of writing or just dreaming about your characters, having a playlist can seriously bring your story to life.
Every novel has an overall mood - you know, that feeling that sticks with you after reading a chapter. Is your book sweet and romantic, or is it packed with suspense and action? Maybe it’s nostalgic and bittersweet. Whatever the mood is, your playlist should reflect that.
Imagine if your book was a movie, what kind of songs would play during the opening scene? Is it more of a soft, acoustic vibe with someone staring out of a rainy window? Or is it blasting pop-punk as your characters road-trip down the highway?
Pro Tip, Pick a theme song for your novel. This is the one track that feels like it could be the heart of your book. Every time you hear it, you’ll be transported straight into your world. 🎧✨
Let’s be real, every character deserves their own theme song. You know your characters better than anyone, what would their personal soundtrack be? Is your main character a hopeless romantic who blasts Taylor Swift on repeat? Or are they more of an, Billie Eilish (Ps:I Love Billie) kind of person? Find songs that capture their personality, their struggles, and their growth throughout the novel.
Character A (The Dreamer): Their playlist is full of soft, dreamy ballads like “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hansard. Character B (The Brooding Love Interest): They’d totally vibe with something like “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood
Think about it, When your characters finally have that emotional, heart-wrenching argument, what song plays in the background of your mind? When they share their first kiss, is it something soft and sweet, or fiery and passionate? The right song can totally enhance the mood of your scenes, even if you’re just listening while you write.
Big Fight Scene? Go for something intense, like “Control” by Halsey.
The Breakup Scene? You can’t go wrong with a tear-jerker like “Drivers License” by Olivia Rodrigo.
This playlist is your baby, so don’t forget to throw in some of your personal faves. If a song speaks to you, even if it doesn’t seem to fit perfectly at first glance, add it anyway. Sometimes, the most random songs end up being the ones that make the most sense as you write. Plus, having your favorite songs on the playlist will keep you inspired and motivated to dive into your story.
Don’t feel pressured to make the “perfect” playlist from the start. It’s a process. You’ll probably discover new songs that fit your novel as you go, and that’s totally fine.
