Penelope- One Last Glance By Moon-Shyne

Shining Friendship

“The peacemaker among monsters.”

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. 

Penelope’s relationship advice

This was a quickie comic I did in about 15 minutes (that’s why the panels are uneven) This scene is something I imagine would have happened in Sly 4 if it hadn’t been written by people who suck at character writing (specifically FEMALE character writing).

Murray, dancing around covered in glowing radioactive oil: Look, Sly! I’m glowing!!

Me, alarmed: Murray, honey, no….

For context, we see this happen midway through the El Jefe boss fight.

Before the boss fight, Penelope ran off towards the blimp without anyone seeing her. She has a decision to make when she sees Sly and El Jefe having their duel...

Yes, she does end up doing the right thing. She provides aerial support for Sly.

The others are fully aware she's gone missing. Yes, she does get scolded for running off when she comes back... primarily by Bentley. Though she is partially let off the hook for helping Sly.

The fact that she's being targeted by kidnappers doesn't help her case in the slightest.

At least she's only scolded for running off. That definitely beats getting reamed for the act of betrayal... That secret is still safe, BTW.

More Murray and Penelope

These guys will forever be my BFF-OTP (BRO-TP?)

Reblog if you write fan fiction

Doesn’t matter if you write in a frequent basis, or once in a blue moon, just how many of us are there?

Sly Cooper characters as Hamilton lyrics

Sly: “When they died, they left no instructions; just a legacy to protect.”

Carmelita: “So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level! What the hell is the catch?”

Bentley: “Let’s hatch a plot blacker than the kettle calling the pot!”

Murray: “Give me a position, show me where the ammunition is!”

Clockwerk: “Forever. And ever. And ever and ever and ever…”

Penelope: “I’m looking for a mind at work!”

Dimitri: “I came from afar just to say ‘Bonsoir’! Tell the king 'Casse toi’ - who is the best? C'est moi!”

Dr. M: “Your father’s a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you.”

Tennessee Kid Cooper: “AndI'mnevergonnastopuntilImake'emdropandburn'emupandscattertheremains!”

Neyla: “Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room? Soon that attitude may be your doom…”

General Tsao: “I’m a general! Whee!”

So far, I'm only still at the first episode of Sly 2, but It's impressive how much Sly Cooper 2 feel like the natural growth of the characters.

Sly 1 is a "beginner" thief that rush into his ennemy's lair with barelly any preparation, coming up with plans on the fly.

Sly 2 is about an experience Thief that reworked his methods. Now, his companions are much more involved in the operations. Now he carefully stake out and test the security before going for his target. He knows all the importants move of the thievus racoonus.

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.
