NEYLA TIME YALL. I've been thinking about doing this for a little while, but this post is probably what actually led me to do it. Aiming to finish it sometime this week, but I probably won’t lol
With Sly's 20th anniversary having just passed I had to do a little piece on it as Sly has been extremely influential on my life and my art growing up! SO why not draw my favourite Cooper ancestor when I was a kid in the key art pose from Sucker Punch's current game; Ghost of Tsushima!
THEGWIWHQUWHWIQBQ HELLO???? A SKYLANDERS ASK????? I DIDNT EXPECT THIS AUQIQJIQHWUS THANK YOU GATOR
SO UHHHH HERE WE GO I GUESS 😀
Putting this under a cut since it ended up being longer than I expected it to be HAHA
SO. My TOP favorite is Fiesta :)
LIKE LOOK AT HIM HE’S SO ADORABLE 😭 and oh my god in the Superchargers game some characters have exclusive little quests where you can HEAR THEM SPEAK WHEN THEY OTHERWISE DONT IN GAME (outside of like battle voice clips haha) AND GOD HE’S SO NICE AND ADORABLE WHEN HE SPEAKS 😭😭😭 (link to the quest in case you wanna hear him hahaha) he’s a polite mariachi man and his voice is so cute he has an accent and ugh I just love him. I even bought one of the comics featuring him, he’s just so cute and nice 😭😭
on my old laptop I had a big rendered drawing I was making of him even but that laptop broke and that art is since lost to time 🥲 but maybe I’ll redraw it one day hahaha.
I’ll dare even say it… I was so enamored with this man back during my big brainrot days I once imagined g/t scenarios with him 🧎 LIKE A GIANT POLITE SKELETON MAN WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR???? I only feel okay admitting this since you’re the one who asked Gator AHAHEJWHWH I know you’ll understand
~~~
My second top favorite is, as I’ve mentioned before, Freeze Blade!!!
Now I know what you might be thinking. “Relic what in the Sly Cooper furry shit is this”. And you know what you’re right!!! You’re totally right. But LISTEN TO ME. WATCH THIS SHORT. WATCH THAT SHORT!!! And you will understand.
Like I said before I think Freeze Blade was the birth of my love for confident/cocky yet well meaning asshole characters 🧎 he’s ofc not really a bitch he’s actually really nice but like I said he lead me down the path 😭 his voice is so unique I really like it and I ADORE how he’s animated in that short. We need more content featuring him fr
I actually did end up drawing him not too long ago but I didnt share it here since I didnt think it would get much attention agahagdha
~~~
And if I’m doing a top 3 I’ll also mention my final personal favorite, Swarm <33
Listen to me. I am talking directly into your ear now. Read this backstory. Read this fucking backstory and tell me this does not SCREAM “g/t scenario”.
HE IS LITERALLY FROM THE GIANTS GAME SO OFC HIS BACKSTORY INCLUDES HIM BEING GIANT DUH YES BUT. COME THE FUCK ON. TELL ME YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO COMFORT THIS MAN AND MAKE HIM FEEL LOVED DESPITE HIS SIZE.
Also he has an accent too which I love teehee. I haven’t drawn him but god I should… I want him to interact with the other Skylanders who to him are just so cute and teensy and be playful with them while also being so careful with them. I need him to interact with tinies. I JUST NEED HIM TO
Great now I’m imagining g/t scenarios with him I blame you Gator SHHSHEHE
But!!! That’s basically it! Oh some honorable mentions for some other faves would be Roller Brawl and Nightfall, but I don’t have any particular strong feelings for them outside of that I really really like their designs. TBH also Dive Clops surprisingly? But that’s cause in the comic I got featuring Fiesta, there was a 2nd comic in it featuring Dive Clops where it was a really cute scenario where he got stuck and had to rely on his older brother Eye Brawl (who’s also a Giants character ehehhehe) to rescue him and the dialogue between them is so heartwarming and sweet. But yeah!!!
Thank you for letting me ramble about this silly game series :D
for the “hi, I’m not from the US” ask set … honestly? they all sound fun, i don’t know what to pick. maybe a random generator can help 😂
it’s decided: 27, 23, 9, 10, 15 pls :)
27. favourite national celebrity?
CHERRY FROM STUDIO KILLERS
23. which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your country?
I think most people will say koskenkorva, which is a type of spirit. but I raise you one more and bring forth the drink I give as a souvenir to anyone not-finnish, SALMARI, which is a liquorice-flavored liqueur. however, it traditionally made from, you know it, koskenkorva
9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?
I lived in norway for 6 months so I think I know norway the best. I've also been to sweden several times. I've been really craving a trip to estonia, the last time I went I was really little!
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
the traditional one is of course "perkele" (doesn't translate) and the one people say the most is "vittu" (fuck), but I'm known to hiss "saatana" (satan) under my breath a lot
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
let me tell you about ASIA SELVÄ SIIDERI. for context, the sly cooper games are CRAZY popular in finland. I too played them religiously as a kid. in the finnish dub of sly cooper 2, in the very beginning of the game bentley and sly are talking about the heist they are about to go on. their characters are established by bentley giving sly instructions and referring to both himself and sly with code names.
in the english dub he says "breaker alpha foxtrot, this is the wizard, do you read me sitting duck?" and sly responds "this is peking duck, I hear you blizzard." bentley goes "no sly, I'm 'the wizard' and you're 'sitting duck'" and sly quips "I read you loud and clear, lizard."
NOW THEY CHOSE THE CHAOTIC ROUTE IN TRANSLATING THIS meaning bentley begins "alpha foxtrot, this is tiger, do you hear me sitting duck?". key here is the word "tiger", tiikeri. sly responds "this is peking duck, I hear you well" and then calls bentley viineri, a type of pastry. bentley says "no sly, I'm tiger, and you're sitting duck". AND SLY SAYS *bites my fist* HE SAYS "ASIA SELVÄ SIIDERI", MEANING "ALRIGHT, CIDER"
AND THE WAY THE VOICE ACTOR DELIVERS THE LINE. SOUNDING VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL AND SO FINNISH
here's a clip of the scene. I quote it on the regular
