I've Found Quite A Few Thieves In Time Rewrites Over The Years. I Can't Help But Imagine How Some Of

sly cooper gijinkas bc brain rot is real

How it feels while writing

How it actually is

yee haw ?

One of my favorite moments in Sly 2 is the first time you go over the Contessa’s bridge.

You’re Bentley, completely alone. You have to make it to the first mission where Bentley eavesdrops on the Contessa. You struggle through the terrifying area outside the safehouse, which is swarming with guards, and then….

And then you get to an empty bridge. 

The only way to get to the mission is by going over this completely empty bridge.

  There are no guards. Those statues are unsettling, but everything here looks unsettling, so it’s fine. You feel like you’re finally in the clear. 

So you start carefully walking across the bridge…. and THEN

HOLY SHIT THEY cOME TO LIFE????? RUN!

A TANK??? THERE’S A TANK TOO??? DON’T RUN THAT WAY

RUN UP THE RAMP WAIT THERE’S FLOOR-SPIKES???? AVOID THE FLOOR SPIKES

A big part of why I like Jailbreak is because the level hub is designed to give you these fun moments of “cartoon horror” that make you really get what the little characters are feeling. 

I turned the Cooper Gang into marketable plushies. (at least design-wise)

musical ramblings #5

a legal necessity before i get back into single handed things.

p.s. i have never religion'd in my life.

soldier, poet, king ; the oh hellos

the whole gang is here :]

this analysis isn't gonna be below a cut because it's really just me assigning these idiots their lines.

There will come a solider, who carries a mighty sword He will tear your city down, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

starting with the soldiers - Murray & Penelope

though my b team & cooper brother parallel brain wants to make pk the soldier to match murray, i simply think that king works better for the, yknow, panda king. and though penelope seems to be a poet at first glance, i think she's much more down to physically fight someone rather than verbally so.

...she's also the only one who actually has a sword.

There will come a poet, whose weapon is his word He will slay you with his tongue, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

the poets - Sly & Dimitri

hey, at least these two match up! bentley and penelope may appear the poets at first glance, being the smart ones and the wordy ones, but i think sly & dimitri are the only two who would really use their words as weapons. er, by the third game, anyway. thievius raccoonus is a different story.

There will come a ruler, whose brow is laid in thorn Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

and finally, the kings - Bentley & the Panda King

bentley is the leader of their team, regardless of what Sly says, and therefore the ruler. he's also not gonna slay you with his tongue he's gonna use bombs. despite my lack of knowledge, i gotta admit, the Panda King certainly does seem pretty laid in thorns. dunno what that means but the guy's got it.

Penelope Fan Service. Wink wink nudge. hehe

Thieves In Time Redux Meme #6

Episode 2, for context. This happens just before Cooper For Hire.

Bentley's a bit overprotective, isn't he? And you can't blame him. His girlfriend did run off on her own last episode... The fact that she's also being targeted by kidnappers doesn't help, either...

He does agree to her request, though. Mainly because Murray's also going to be there.

I gotta say. Sometimes it's way more fun writing memes for my fanfiction than actually working on it.

Sly 3 Comic: “A Girl in the Safe House”

Did you ever wonder how the Sly Gang adjusted to having a girl in their Man Cave for the first time ever? Well, now you know! I can totally see Murray going over the top to try and be welcoming/friendly to her, Bentley being all awkward in trying to court her, and Sly being the poor schmuck caught in the middle.

'Dynamic Duo' is a decent mission in an otherwise lacklustre episode, but what i really love about it is how much it develops Penelope's character. from giving her a cutie health metre (and by extent establishing lavender purple as her signature colour. iconic) to having the targets look like pieces of cheese because y'know she's a mouse
