Me: Writing up Episode 0 is too hard!
Also me: I think I'll try to work on Episode 6 tonight...
That Penelope/Le Paradox boss fight is just too tempting not to start up...
I say that, and yet the only thing I've got is... "She made the first move."
The hardest part of that scene isn't how the fight plays out, but rather the dialogue between our heroine and villain.
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 Twenty Six (Daydream)
I know it’s late. But I drew this thing. So I figured I might as well post it
This was based on the cutscene where Sly says that seeing what Bentley&Penelope had made him want to take his relationship with Carmelita to the next level
Here's how it's going in a nutshell...
I can't help it if the final mission of Episode 4 is so fun to imagine. My revenge against the vanilla game is going to go so hard.
Penelope is going to come out of this one as a total badass. Who's on the right side as she was always meant to.
By the way, none of these episodes are finished yet. Not even the Paris Tutorial. The only finished part is the intro cutscene, where our four heroes get their first lines.
Hmm...You know what'd be interesting? For their to be some shared upgrade pools for the various members of the Gang, you know when it's more than just the main trio. Like if there's some overlap between the characters in terms of playstyle, they could be some sharing of moves. I got the idea from that picture you reblogged making me remember that Penelope IS a Champion Boxer, so now I'm imagining her sharing some of Murray's punch based moves.
Frankly, any acknowledgement of Penelope’s boxing prowess would probably be a good idea
Is she a frail nerd or isn’t she? They really flipflop on it
YES, it's finally here! I could rattle about it's development but I did most of that in the foreword. Though I forgot to mention two details. - We included 'Original Ancestors. Don't worry there's only two of them and are an excellent and creative supplement to the Cooper bloodline in my honest opinion. They're written and illustrated in the style this zine was inspired by (the ancestral book) and we hope you enjoy them. - We also included 'Honourable Mentions' after Conner's page. I could've made a whole page just, announcing them but couldn't think of much to fill it in with SO, honourable mentions are canon characters who, in some way, shape or form assisted the Cooper family in the past. - These pages have transcripts! They're in the image description. That's all! We hope you enjoy and sharing would be appreciated! Thank you!

Seriously, fans? Why does Sly get to have all the fun?
I know having Penelope go that hard is a bold move, but come on. If she started this whole mess, and feels a need to correct her mistakes, shouldn't she end it herself?
We can even have her feel like she has to do it alone, or else her attempt to atone for what she did won't count.
But because I'm not a monster, let's also have the rest of the playable cast join her so they can kick some skunk tail!
And for good measure, Penelope also gets to finish Le Paradox off. Complete with a speech on what she learned about friendship.
Of course, she will have to be told her attempt did count. And that she nailed it. And no, Sly will not be lost in time.
This scenario is the ONLY thing that could persuade me to purchase Sly Cooper 5 if Sanzaru ever makes it. Because it is pretty much the only way to salvage that mess of plot holes and character assassinations that made up Thieves in Time.
P.S. For those of you who are too young to get the “Dallas” reference, here’s the scene that my comic is stealing from spoofing.
I decided to draw the smartest girl in the universe
Even more so if you want to talk about it.
Here's a link to it in case you somehow missed it.
