Just another scene that I believe took place behind the scenes during the China level of Sly 3. Yep. These two are still my BFF-OTP

I went ahead and made a tier list. This one's sorted by how much I can't wait to write each character's lines in my rewrite of Thieves In Time.
I'm especially dreading The Grizz, though I can't wait to write up his boss fight.
Heck, I could say the same thing about all five bosses. Still don't know what to do with Miss Decibel...
Sir Raleigh (the new Black Knight), Robo-Penelope, and Le Paradox? They're going to be the most fun...
I haven't pinned down Le Paradox's exact wording yet, but he's going to have quite the conversation with a certain mouse during his boss fight...
As for the ancestors... Not looking forward to Rioichi, Bob, or Salim. Tennessee and Sir Galleth? Slightly more so.
No, I am not writing any lines for Dimitri.
Lastly, there's our main protagonists: Sly, Bentley, Murray, Carmelita... and our lead, Penelope.
Of course, I'm easily going to have the most fun with Penelope... for fairly obvious reasons.
Hey! So I’m a fairly new ambulatory wheelchair user with EDS writing about a character who is also an ambulatory wheelchair user. I feel like I keep using the same words over and over to portray movement though (rolled, propelled, “pushed themself,” etc) so I would love to hear if you have any more ideas for alternatives! I’ll take as many as you’ve got!
Thank you!!!

And a lot of many other verbs that would take me a long time to list! Consider what type of wheelchair the person has, as mention Here. And also how the person moves or places their hands can be another detail to include.
If the actual definition of the verb doesn't involve the specific actions of one or two lower extremities (ex. walk, run, stepped, trot, stride) then it's otherwise good to use! Other words like Moseyed, sauntered, paced, I think depends on the writer. A particularly mischievous character may saunter of a manner in their wheelchair. And a character who is nervous would pace—although possibly tiring—back and forth. And Moseyed, well, I just particularly like this word—but, a character could mosey on by in a certain fashion. Happy writing!
(last ask about verb terminology on wheelchairs per this post we made about it)

Only day you can rb this
Here's Episode 4 in a nutshell...
And the best part? She does it all without any of the other heroes figuring out she was behind the Black Knight's creation.
And everyone ends up absolutely adoring her. Especially Bentley. He's gonna be so proud of her... The reason? She started this adventure not even wanting to go. To see her going this hard is damn impressive.
Writing this episode is going to be so much fun...
For extra fun, imagine this playing during the second phase of Raleigh's boss fight.
And this for the second phase against Robo-Penelope.
Bentley facing Jean Bison in Sly 2: (nervously trying to avoid confrontation) sorry i wasn’t trying to escape, i just dropped my glasses, pleasedon’tkillme
Bentley facing Muggshot in Sly 3: YOU’RE A SEWAGE-EATING MEATHEAD AND YOUR MOTHER WAS A TUB OF JUNK! FIGHT ME! YOU COWARD!!!!!!

Because the fun stuff is in the later episodes.
I'm still working on Paris. Just... at a slower rate than before.
I've found quite a few Thieves In Time rewrites over the years. I can't help but imagine how some of them would play out if my premise (Penelope joining the adventure against her will) were introduced...
This is on top of all the other "What if?" scenarios I came up with on my own...
