"I wish we got to spend more time with The Guru. His purple koala shaman design and gameplay are great. I would have loved to see him speak full English, have a longer story arc, and a boss fight where he's playable."

Sly Cooper: Honor Among F#*%s
You know how this goes by now. Sly 3 now hypothetically follows PG13 movie guidelines. Someone gets one F-bomb by the end of the game, choose wisely.

i've always found it to be such a bland choice for the gang to recruit the Panda King, although as i grew up i realised it made for some more mature storytelling because Sly has to co-exist with someone who killed his father and Panda King, as someone who isn't the most colourful character, contrasts nicely with the rest of the cast. but today i want to indulge in that infatuation i had of having the gang work with their past enemies, and discuss what would happen if Bentley decided to recruit any villain other than the Panda King
i remember how much i wanted them to recruit Mz Ruby, because i used to be obsessed with her as a child. and honestly i think it's within the realm of possibility. i mean, apart from Muggshot (who got more development in Sly 3) and Clockwerk, i think if they were ok with Panda King joining why wouldn't they be with the rest of the Fiendish Five? also, sidenote: i'm kinda bummed we never got to see Panda King interact with Muggshot like two ex-team members but one's still rotten and the other's working with the heroes? give us the banter give us the drama honey come on where is it
i feel like if Mz Ruby joined she'd get along most with Murray, the Guru and Dimitri, but she'd absolutely loathe Sly, Bentley and Penelope. Murray would show her some long overdue tlc and make her feel like she belongs (which would tug at her heartstrings because that's what turned her to a life of crime); she'd exchange notes with the Guru on mind-control and stuff; and i think she'd have a massive crush on Dimitri honestly, two reptiles and all. i also think that Sly wouldn't be so vehemently pressed about the whole thing and i'm not sure why. maybe it's because we see Panda King outright bury a whole-ass village in snow in A Perilous Ascent, whereas, to our knowledge, Mz Ruby only robbed banks with her voodoo. i can't see her getting close with the gang or sharing any sweet moments but i think she'd be a valuable member, albeit very similar to the Guru. she could definitely fill in for Panda King in Kaine Island but instead of fireworks she'd shoot some ◻︎◎△, she'd help Guru with controlling Crusher, and she'd give some valuable insight on the hopping vampires although without Panda King in the picture A Cold Alliance would probably never happen.
moving on to Sly 2, the only available options are Rajan, Contessa and Jean Bison. due to the segment in the credits where they're shown moving on with their lives as well as the fact that they didn't murder ConnEr, i feel like these three are even more realistic candidates than Panda King. out of the three, Rajan would definitely be the most beneficial asset because he could summon lightning like duh ??? (although unsure as to whether he could still do that without the Clockwerk heart) but i think he'd reject the offer after how hard the gang fucked him over like they really destroyed the guy. personally, Jean Bison as a member would be as bland as Panda King, so that leaves us with the Contessa. yay, another female member but oh my god would she be a nightmare to work with. she'd undoubtedly betray the gang, probably hang out with them for like one or two adventures, try to sabotage the missions, and then secretly contact Dr Mauricio and tell him everything, leading the gang to Kaine Island just to snatch Sly's cane and then get half of the contents of the vault (or betray Dr Mauricio too after delivering the cane). she'd hate everyone on the team but would tolerate Bentley and Penelope. i'm unsure as to how she'd behave around Dimitri though.
anyway i'm in a very feisty mood because i've just had Toblerone ice cream so let's discuss other, more far-fetched possibilities. what if, after getting fired from Interpol, Winthorp contacted the gang to join? he'd be such a disaster like combine Bentley's cowardice from the beginning of Sly 2 and Murray's uselessness from Sly 1 and he'd match that lmao. he'd also cream his pants every time they had a run-in with Carmelita. 0 redeeming qualities as a gang member but i kinda want him to be the underdog. maybe like a romcom montage of Dimitri teaching Winthorp how to "get the girl"? hmmm... what about the gang recruiting Don Octavio after literally just sending him to jail a few months prior? 'if we wanted to get inside the Cooper Vault, we needed a musician - we'd have to break Don Octavio out of prison' and the episode would be like Jailbreak: the Sequel and its climax would be a Jailhouse Rock operation where Sly and Murray organise a prison riot as a diversion and the Don narrates it musically, occasionally breaking the fourth wall. you'd have to shake your controller to get him to sing the more difficult notes (bellydancing-gate flashbacks). i mean, it's not like he has anything better to do, opera isn't coming back any time soon. i'd also suggest Mrs Puffin from the orphanage but she'd probably be dead by this point, right? anyway, what do you guys think about them recruiting Le Paradox?
#Cooper Gang assemble#idec this is my new favourite image on the internet#no but imagine the repercussions#HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA#and they have a never-ending 80s sitcom opening like Too Many Cooks HAHAHAHAHAHAHA#and Battery of Peril would be like the seductive temptress/ comedic relief of the gang#HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Would you ever do Sly 3 and TiT redesigns? (My favorites from the current sets are Penelope, The Guru, Sir Raleigh, Clockwerk, Tennessee Kid, and Arpeggio)
I want to do Sly 3 bad guys at some point when I have the time and maybe TiT too, but I haven't really thought about the designs yet for those.
And Thanks, Penelope and Sir Raleigh are probably my faves too!

you guys like the stim headcanons... i see how it is /pos LUCKY FOR YOU I HAVE MORE!!
most of these are projecting (the password stims from the last post were too wHOOPS qlfjjwjr)
(they spiral off from stims and into bracelet headcanons like halfway through whoops. but i think they're cute so they're staying <3)
sly repeats things a lot, moreso than just passwords and stuff. full instructions from bentley, guru-speak, all kinds of things. murray will say something and sly will repeat it and the two of them will get caught in a feedback loop
bentley chews on things, usually the backs of pens and markers. the strap from his bicycle helmet is worn down a lot 'cause it's in reach and he doesn't have to hold anything up to his mouth
murray's are a lot more physical, as most things with him are. that hippo caNNOT sit still for the life of him and we love him for it. finger tapping, knuckle cracking, rocking, he has to do like 30 seconds of full body wiggles before a mission because he just gets so excited
slys tail wraps around things when he gets nervous, usually his leg or the end of his cane. not quite sure if this is a STIM but yknow
murray does those little steppy tippy taps that donnie does you know the little excited ones
bentley likes sensory things like he'll press his hands against his eyes to see the funky little shapes when he gets overwhelmed. he knows it's probably rlly bad for his eyes but it's nice to control the stimuli yknow
murray toes a fine line between under and overstim but usually he likes a Lot of stimulation so usually it's just stopping the understim
ok as strange as this is gonna sound sly makes those little like thread bracelets. it's nice to have something to do with your hands and hes got delicate hands i think hed be good at it. they have matching ones that they usually have on them if not being directly worn
murray used to keep his on his wrist until he started using his Flame Fists. he feels really bad for burning the first one but sly just laughed and said hed make another
now murray keeps his on his belt on his hip usually, though he still will wear it like a normal person when he knows he wont be getting firey
bentleys is usually on his hat/helmet somewhere; if he keeps it on his wrist it catches on the corners of computers and scrapes against 'em so it's easier just to have it out of the way
carmelita has two of them that she swears she never wears but every once in a while she'll see them and be filled with Emotion
all of the Extended Cooper Gang also have bracelets bc sly Just Keeps Making Them whenever he has the materials
penelopes is too big for her so she keeps it on one of her remote controls i think. yknow like phone charms she has hers like that
the guru's has a tiny crystal on it and sly vowed never to put another charm like that on one because it was a PAIN in the TAIL. he usually doesnt keep it on his wrists but it stays with him wherever he goes
dimitri complained about his ("it cramps my style, man!") but when sly offered to take it back got very defensive over it. he earned that bracelet trash man you BET hes gonna keep it
the panda king's was the last one he made bc yknow they did not get along. they have a bonding moment or whatever and the next day theres a bracelet and a calling card sitting by wherever the panda king sleeps. it's too small for him- and the panda king has Flame Fu anyway- but he keeps it with a bracelet his daughter made for him. they're never not on his person
sly himself is usually wearing one, but he picks at it, so he has to make himself new ones every month or so 'cause they keep breaking
theres one hanging from the rearview mirror of the van. nobodys sure when it got there, not even sly
#i just think of that one hc where dt17's lena made bracelets#that were like enchanted and magic and stuff#its my fantasy brain talking i have to put magic in everything#nyway i might write more abt the bracelets#theyre suddenly very important to me#sodalites sclooper#sodalite scribbles#sly cooper#sly cooper honor among thieves#save for later#PANDA KING AS THE TEAM DAD.#not entirely relevant here.. but important to me personally

musical rambling #3
i've done the two Beauties (as in, brains brawn beauty (and then the guru)) so i think that means... brains next ? aka bentley's turn !
regardless of my status i feel the psa should still apply-- i've got no idea if this makes sense to anyone but me. ''<:]
angle ; emma harner
you know i'm not entirely sure how this became my number one bentley song actually ? i do know it was very early into the process for my reboot and i immediately attached it to jailbreak- and by extension, to bentley :]
as per usual with these, analysis/breakdown under the cut <3 this one's a little less specific/in-depth because a lot of my association for this is based on Vibes and Reboot. but i've managed some things >:3c
now it is important to note that as i said this is very Jailbreak to me and not a lot of anything else and that Will be reflected. sorry but not really lol.
"High above the color of your conversation / I'm asking if your lips could move / The way they do in my imagination / All's well for now, just tell me how we lose"
okay so i mostly have thoughts for the "all's well for now, just tell me how we lose" however those are very much so reboot-based and not canon based sooooo. not a lot for right here. BUT. i cannot find the post for the life of me (hellsite fr) but there's a post somewhere that points out that sly 2 is very much so about losing in general; sly & murray get arrested, the clockwerk parts are reclaimed, clock-la Exists tm, bentley's spine, etc.
in a canon jailbreak context, i suppose "just tell me how we lose" is probably mostly bentley being an anxious little dude. it esp. reminds me of murray being all Spicy tm; "all's well for now" and it's "tell me how we lose" bc he's with sly, but they're still losing bc murray is Losing His Mind.
as for the beginning ..... shrug emote? i'm imagining him saying it to sly, but i'm not entirely sure why.
"I don't wanna be a world / Would you mind if I orbit a bit, I'm"
bentley is so incredibly stressed out all the time, especially during jailbreak when he's flying solo. i'm sure the week vacation they take is just as much for him to relax as it is for murray to shake off the spice-ness because ancient knows he needs it ! he needs a nap and a hug
"Hanging on to what I've heard / When it comes to you, I don't forget"
okay back into the throes of jailbreak here bentley's "hanging on to what [he's] heard" is very much so him running recon on the contessa with his weird ass sound vibration darts. "when it comes to you, i don't forget" is ALSO very him at the contessa but that's also mostly Vibes.
what's he not forgetting? who's to say. possibly himself, if the contessa were to get her weird-ass lobster claws on him. but in general this is just very Running Recon tm.
"Delirious, a fear of us / It's fine, but why so serious?"
this one is BLUE. that's intentional. this is moreso associated w/ jailbreak than with bentley specifically and therefore there's some sly shenanigans in there. "delirious, a fear of us" is almost too easy to apply to sly and murray while murray is literally trying to murder him while they're messing with the agitators.
and, taking canon and running with it, "it's fine, but why so serious?" is absolutely sly downplaying the effect the prison had on him because that's just How he Is. there's no way one is not Traumatized tm from the extended visit to the contessa in general, and he was in the hole for Who Knows How Long. and of course it would be bentley who is being serious because like sly That's Just How He Is. he sees right through sly's facade.
"It's a metaphor how to flip the table / When my breathing slows down, I'll find an angle"
flipping the table is actually just him saving his brothers <3
WHEN MY BREATHIN' SLOWS DOWN, I'LL FIND AN ANGLE... say hello to the line that started it all (affectionate) that's bentley during the predator awakes' getaway!! that's his sleepless week of data crunching !! it just. AUGH. it's so very That.
"(Flip the table, find an angle / When my breathing slows down I'll)"
read as: the moment he can (aka when his "breathing slows down") he's gonna make for his brothers and come up with a plan (aka flipping the table & finding an angle.) it's just so very much jailbreak.
"I watch you dance for the apocalypse / It's not like you'd be running"
okay so i think in rebootiverse "it's not like you'd be running" is the current title for his journey to prague but that's gonna change p soon here sooo. anyway
thinking about this harder i think this is kind of. bentley about sly n' carmelita esque. i know that doesn't happen until A Tangled Web but it's just a matter of principal y'know. the "you" is of course sly and presumably "the apocalypse" metaphorically speaking is carmelita herself. bc sly's got a big heart and is a goober and will save the cop that's only making their job harder.
"And we both know I'm a colossal mess / Attempts to sate just agitate this longing"
[bentley voice] "the long walk out of the jungle gave me time to reflect, and with each passing step, my sense of isolation grew. shockingly, my comrade's absence was having a profound emotional effect on me!"
i think that... explains itself
(note: replay of the chorus)
"I flipped the table, I did / I love the way that you give / And if this angle's a bit unstable, I'll live"
AND THE HAPPY ENDING <3 these all have very different meanings they're just grouped together bc they are the happy ending lol.
i flipped the table i did - smiley face. bentley proved that he can kick ass on his own and saved his brothers
i love the way that you give - something something sappy for his brothers something something The Wizard something something
and if this angle's a bit unstable, i'll live - character development the beloved. like okay sly 1 and early sly 2 bentley is very rigid and stick to the plan and no, sly, shooting yourself out of a cannon is NOT a good thing!
but then jailbreak comes along and he's forced to do a lot of scrappy improv and he learns that he's actually really good at this. which paves the way for our much more calm cool & collected bentley that we see in sly 3 !!
bentley's character development is my absolute favorite thing, can you tell ? :]

Fun with bad subtitles:
“Tulsa King” episode 3 preview, Paramount+:
Stallone, the mob guy out of prison after 25 years, asks his young driver “You know I’m a criminal, right?” The driver’s response is “I got Google,” underlining the changes since Sly went up the river. The caption changes this to the unhelpful response “I got a guru.” Okay…

//Aight beat Sly 3. Thoughts on the series since I’m ignoring 4 as it was done by a different studio. Mostly posting this for my thing with Carm since I’ll talk about it now and I guess perspective of how my Carm plays into things and how I’ll handle characters/things.
Generalized Thoughts:
Overall p weird how they shrunk Carmelita over time but I understand why as well I suppose? I kept her big though and her commanding voice from 1. 1 was basically the weakest of the series, which is fair, a lot of ps2 era games were pretty weak for their starter games when first starting out. 2 was good here and there? A few slog segments. And while I like 3? I think the level vs Tsao’s section was the weakest of 3. Then while 3 had some good segments? It has some abysmally bad segments near the end as well. The boss fight was overall fine for the final boss but really the weirdest one.
Sly 3 apparently had rushed development from what I read, so it honestly makes sense why it was weaker in some segments. Then really good for the ones that mattered. I’d say the series 1-3 is overall really solid story and gameplay wise. It’s aged a bit in 1, then 2-3 it has some aged mechanics. It’s worth playing however.
Characters:
Penelope: I hated her segments all but the last one and the sword duel, it was hard not to hate her as a character from how annoying her segments were lol. Overall fun, nice character for story-wise though. I don’t really understand why they went the direction they did in 4 with her. So yeah, ignoring that.
Murray had some really weak segments with not as much fighting and a weird amount of boat sections. And when he did fight? They made the mistake of trying to make combat more... intuitive? Eh, a bit needlessly so. Murray was a lot more solid in 2 in terms of gameplay segments.
Bentley’s was solid, I can’t remember finding the game design around him being bad at all. He was the most well-designed character and got a fair amount of time. I’ll excuse the end section where I found his section with Murray vs Dr M really... bad? It felt pretty p annoying.
Carmelita needed more playable segments, she was generally really fun and mobile and had a lot of history with the gang to begin with? Overall I made my Carm to reflect the games as she can jump an insane distance in cutscenes and fight giant monsters apparently, so yeah. Overall why I’m going the direction I am with her. Overall the least characterized backstory wise, so it’s why I gave her a similar but different footing to Sly.
Dimitri was alright, had a few tougher sections. Though the least amount of sections and it may’ve been for the best considering how wonky his swim mechanics were. Ultimately they were no real problem though. He feels like he existed for the sake of the story rather than adding onto the gameplay. Which is a shame, I kind of expected him to be a more physical fighter considering Sly 2′s encounter with him. He certainly was one of the most memorable characters though, I really liked him in the gang.
Guru was relatively fun? Had a few annoying segments at the end with the timing of his jumps but I did it relatively with ease. I do admit while I liked Guru, it was weird introducing him to take more slots and time compared to already established characters.
Panda King. Another relatively unused character? He has his moments but it was weird he wasn’t like... a Kung-Fu guy, like I would’ve really liked for him, Carmelita and Murray doing a tag team of 3 fighters together with differing styles and abilities would’ve been killer for platforming combat.
Sly... I have mixed feelings for how he’s been used throughout the series. I would’ve preferred heavy platforming and the occasional mini-game when it came with him. As it’s usually a hit or a miss with the mini-games in general with Sly, but I suppose other characters as well. It’s overall pretty seamless platforming with actual difficulty sprinkled here and there. But I did notice how sometimes it’s unresponsive to certain hooks/wonky mechanics.
Story Wise and Final Thoughts:
Overall good. I wouldn’t change anything story wise really other than a few inconsistencies/things that were overlooked.
Not being biased here, but while I like the introduction of new characters? It felt odd not having Carmelita be the final member of the gang after perhaps an uneasy truce. Even more so when she had a bit of playable segments, even more so than Dimitri and rivaled the amount that Penelope had? It felt... weird. As there was even a space next to Dimitri when he was added as if there was a missing member to be placed on the team? It was... an odd circumstance and with the ‘rushed development’ apparently, it kind of adds up to me at least. Then Dimitri, Panda King and Carmelita really all needed more segments, Dimitri in need of the most and have more mechanics other than just an underwater segment. Then Penelope’s segments really could’ve just been done without, just give her giant mech segments or something, that could’ve been fun probably. That or leave the flying segments to her, but also I disliked the flying segments tbr as well. Felt like Ratchet 1′s early flawed flying segments.
I didn’t feel like I was missing out on much at first when it came to the Sly series, and while I’ve played better series I enjoy for platforming. Sly was never truly a pure platformer so I can’t really fault it for that. I think it walked so a lot of other games could run kind of deal. And even then, it’s worth playing and I appreciate it a lot for what it has platforming mechanics and standards for when it is good, balanced platforming. It was one of the best series for the Ps2 and I believe it even more now.
I think it’s a really good rp platform as you can take really any time period and put in the modern era. It’s weird, but I like it. Kind of like a better Gex almost, shame the series is currently dormant though. I liked all the references, then nods to other games, so it’s kinda why I nod to Metal Gear, Splinter Cell with certain things with Carm.
Anyway, if any of the above interested you in how it interacts with my Carm and how you wish to interact with her using that stuff? I’m down to plot/talk even with noncanon characters to the series.

Finally the third set of Sly Cooper. And probably It would be the last one. I mean, I could do the ancestors but I don't know, you tell me if you want to see them.
Anyway, you can see the big change after Clockla's Events from Sly 2: Sly improving his clothes, Bentley on the wheelchair, Murray after Australia he changed his outfit and losing some fat, Carmeliota being more relaxed than before, James Barkley being retired, and the new recruits to the Cooper Gang. And also the villains. I didn't do Captain Lefwee because I thought his level was unnecessary.
Anyway I hope you like them. And probably it would be all.

i was thinking in the shower about how things would have turned out had Bentley managed to break into the Cooper Vault without needing to recruit anyone. for starters, there wouldn't be a Sly 3 lol... i mean Sly and Bentley would definitely have gone after Murray so An Opera of Fear and Rumble Down Under would have happened i guess but for the sake of the post let's say they wouldn't have asked the Guru to join the gang. so no Netherlands and no China meaning no Penelope and no Panda King, and by extent no Dimitri because of no deal in Netherlands.
removing Sly 3's secondary characters kinda puts things into perspective in terms of character development. in Sly 1 we collected Thievius Racconus pages as we got closer to the truth and Sly learned new tricks and honed his skills in preparation for his encounter with Clockwerk. Sly 2 was just a traumatic trainwreck altogether like SP really put the gang through the wringer idk how they survived.
in Sly 3 this development is brought about through the secondary characters and their relationships with the protagonists. Penelope drives a wedge between Sly and Bentley forcing the latter to muster up the courage and step outside of Sly's shadow for a minute; Panda King's return demands Sly to mature and let go of the past; Dimitri tests the gang's patience; both Penelope and Panda King contribute to the Murray van storyline which kinda exhibited that yea! in the long run, Murray might be the dummy of the group as Dr Michael chastises at the end but he is definitely the heart of the gang.
but if all this never happened then how would Honour Among Thieves play out? funny thing is, even if they recruited the extended gang, shit hit the fan almost immediately upon arrival so i'm assuming the same would apply if the original trio had tried to pull it off on their own? no? as a sidenote: i'm also thinking that Sly 2 is the only game in the series that kinda had like the aspect of urgency if you think about it. someone stole the Clockwerk parts and they were going to rebuild him so tick tock bitch. Sly 1 and 3 however don't really have that sense of time pressure. the Fiendish Five were sitting on their asses for literally a decade before Sly popped up for the pages and don't even get me started on the possibility of Dr Michael managing to crack the Cooper Vault open like what a loser lmao. with this in mind, Bentley would have the time to develop his tech in order to do the tasks that the extended gang members would have done. i mean if he managed to build a time machine surely he could make his tech waterproof ?
so the entire heist goes according to plan with the possibility of them tripping that stupid alarm still at play. i never intended to do a full play by play "what if...?" of Honour Among Thieves but suffice to say Carmelita would 100% show up to save the day even with the change of context. i think the most important change would be that Bentley's run-in with Dr Michael would go down very differently. i don't think he'd defend Sly; i actually think Dr Michael would get to him even without Penelope's introduction because she only brought out feelings that were brewing deep in Bentley's subconscious (especially after the end of Sly 2, becoming disabled for a cause that was never his and that dedication arguably never being reciprocated). he might not have shown it in the moment but i think that conversation would significantly shape Bentley's character and if Sly got out of the episode unscathed, the gang would probably split. leaving the Guru behind would also give Murray the motive to go his own way.
it's clear that Sly 3's secondary characters helped the gang get over some unspoken issues they had between them, even if they got resolved behind each other's backs (because Bentley only vents to Penelope about his feelings and doesn't go straight to Sly, who, in turn, doesn't even know there's an issue to begin with). personally, and i feel kinda stupid for suggesting something so simplistic in relation to how this game would be better like 7-8 years after being on this godforsaken website and analysing it to the point where it feels like the bible, i feel like one more episode would help really flesh out the problems the gang had. we never get direct acknowledgment or accountability from Sly and it feels like he's too focused on entering the Vault to care about Bentley's feelings, or anyone else's for that matter (there's like 7 anon asks gathering dust in my inbox about why i have anti-Sly sentiment and that number better not go up). all it takes is a 'you know what guys? you should enter the vault with me after literally sticking by me since childhood and risking your lives fighting my own battles' and they shoot up the van like it's a guest on Wendy.
Sly 2's ending proved that the protagonists aren't Riverdale characters who just go through weekly life-threatening events without any guilt, trauma and anxiety; and then in Sly 3 we get high-stake situations akin to the ClockLa saga, like the Dragon snatching Penelope, but because it's crammed between episodes instead of games, the characters come out of it seemingly unfazed. the complete lack of recognition for all of this makes it seem like Sly is an awful leader for the gang. like i think Penelope would genuinely snap when she got taken hostage by LeFwee after the dragon thing.
i think the internal politics of the gang could have been explored way better but i understand that juggling that and the introduction of one new character per episode would be impossible. i'd love to see Bentley confronting Sly, Murray realising that he's getting more support about what matters to him (the van, the Guru's wellbeing) from the literal strangers they've recruited than his best friends, Sly realising that his lack of involvement in the gang's friendship is what turned Dr Michael against ConnEr. maybe Honour Among Thieves could have been a two-parter honestly. maybe the Dimitri Dr Michael piranha hybrid bossfight should have never made the cut.

SlyTember Day 15
I’m gonna challenge myself by attempting to do something for every day of @felicity-the-cat ‘s SlyTember challenge
Here’s my entry for day fifteen (disguise).
I opted to do a humanized screenshot re-draw of this scene:
...sadly I didn’t have time to ink & color it. But I hope to do that in the future
