Clockwerk Don't get mesmerized by him, he's pure hatred

There’s only one raccoon thief!🦝 Commission Art that I did for @_salislu . His complete score from #slycooper is the most inspiring. Thanks to him for this opportunity.

"I wish the real Clockwerk "woke up" at some point in Sly 2 and that even if Neyla still tried to take Clockwerk's body for her own that Clockwerk would have taken control back and we could have actually heard them fighting for control. Like imagine the terror Neyla would feel once Clockwerk woke back up and she realizes her life is in more danger now than ever before."

I'm streaming the Sly Cooper games for a friend, and the brainrot is really hitting me. We're at the end of Sly 2 now, and I think Sly 2 might be reclaiming its place as my #1 favorite game ever, it's just so fun, clever, and well put together, and I'm shocked that 20 years later I'm still finding stuff I never noticed while playing. For instance, I did not know you could get spotted by Clock-La who actually attacks you via bombing robo egg helicopters at you (I maybe knew this and forgot but I feel like I just never caught this one).

With the 20th anniversary just under a month away, I wonder if I should do something fun for it or like a big retrospective or something. I still have my original copy, and I still remember the day I got it (actually a day after the release date because they didn't have copies in my town for some reason...)

“A Strange Reunion” drawing remake

Other people: *mocking the assumed foolishness and negligence of Clockwerk to knowingly pull a Batman’s parents on Sly Cooper* *complaining about what is assumed to be a cheap writing excuse to explain Sly’s survival of the Fiendish’s Five’s attack on his home*

Me: But actually? No? It wouldn’t have been smarter on Clockwerk’s part to “finish the job” with Sly back then. Clockwerk pigeonholed himself into a fruitless job that is not meant to be finished.

Like if you really want to ponder on it, Clockwerk could be forced, in a way, to ensure the continuation of the cooper line, not the end of it. When you define and depend your whole existence on that which you hate, what do you have left when the object of your ire is no more? Clockwork would have died if his hate was ever allowed to diminish or find resolution. He’s like a ghost bound only to his power and body by a single remaining tether, and that tether is the drive to tread on the grave of the Cooper Clan’s legacy.

He doesn’t loathe them personally, he hates everything they represent and stand for, because he once envied it to the point of madness. That’s why he sundered the Thievious Raccoonus and left our Cooper untouched. He told you so himself. Notice how coincidentally the attack was timed on the very day Sly was meant to inherit the book? It was all about letting the boy learn what it meant to be a Cooper and then ripping away from him the access to everything his ancestors learned and built to help him carry that torch.

This gamble of his, this experiment he planned out that involved letting Connor’s son escape the slaughter, that’s the way he keeps himself going while staring down the barrel of the only real threat to his immortality. Killing them all, he reckoned in his centuries of reflection, wouldn’t fulfill his vendetta. He wanted to prove without any shadow of doubt that there was nothing about the Coopers that made them inherently superior to him- who himself was once only an owl. He was after their reputation. Murder was one of many methods, but complete humiliation was the actual goal. Clockwerk was probably snickering to himself all the way from the volcano for years, giddy at the thought of this child he reduced from the son of a master thief to an orphaned pauper. What he wanted was for Sly to live on… live on and be the last pathetic, miserable shred of the Cooper memory that Clockwerk could compare himself to once he has achieved everything him and the Five had set out to accomplish.

Giving their line the final glory of a tragic and sudden end like that after one unlucky slip of Connor’s vigilance was more than he could stomach. His greatest enemies don’t deserve to be remembered with that honor intact. Had Sly moved on and done literally anything else with his life but successfully take up that mantle and reap revenge, then the bird would have won. He would have never been bothered again by the owl either, I bet. Clockwerk just had to take that (astronomically unlikely) risk to see the boy’s potential through. It’s the only reason that dark force has kept him going literally up to and through the second game.

My headcanons about the ages of the Dota keens (please ignore the fact i misspelled headcanon lmao)

I have headcanons about the "decade" the keens are in, but the second digit was kinda random lol

[alphascorpiixx]

my dumbass brain: "clockwerk is a myth in the criminal world" -> "he's an myth outside of the criminal world as well" -> "he's a cryptid" -> "he's the sly universe equivalent of mothman"

A quick sketch about two mechanical owls that come from franchises with an installment that was all about time travel.

My piece for this month's CooperCharacterGauntlet!

Clockwerk decided to cosplay as Noo-Noo from the hit Kids TV show, Teletubbies!! Gotta say he seems to be pretty spot on!

"I thought Clockwerk easter eggs were cool at first, but I then I remember that Clockwerk went after the ancestors to kill them. It's kind of a messed up easter egg! 😅 Like, did Sanzaru ever look up what happened to them in the first games? I think Clockwerk killed them or something right?"
