i've always found it to be such a bland choice for the gang to recruit the Panda King, although as i grew up i realised it made for some more mature storytelling because Sly has to co-exist with someone who killed his father and Panda King, as someone who isn't the most colourful character, contrasts nicely with the rest of the cast. but today i want to indulge in that infatuation i had of having the gang work with their past enemies, and discuss what would happen if Bentley decided to recruit any villain other than the Panda King
i remember how much i wanted them to recruit Mz Ruby, because i used to be obsessed with her as a child. and honestly i think it's within the realm of possibility. i mean, apart from Muggshot (who got more development in Sly 3) and Clockwerk, i think if they were ok with Panda King joining why wouldn't they be with the rest of the Fiendish Five? also, sidenote: i'm kinda bummed we never got to see Panda King interact with Muggshot like two ex-team members but one's still rotten and the other's working with the heroes? give us the banter give us the drama honey come on where is it
i feel like if Mz Ruby joined she'd get along most with Murray, the Guru and Dimitri, but she'd absolutely loathe Sly, Bentley and Penelope. Murray would show her some long overdue tlc and make her feel like she belongs (which would tug at her heartstrings because that's what turned her to a life of crime); she'd exchange notes with the Guru on mind-control and stuff; and i think she'd have a massive crush on Dimitri honestly, two reptiles and all. i also think that Sly wouldn't be so vehemently pressed about the whole thing and i'm not sure why. maybe it's because we see Panda King outright bury a whole-ass village in snow in A Perilous Ascent, whereas, to our knowledge, Mz Ruby only robbed banks with her voodoo. i can't see her getting close with the gang or sharing any sweet moments but i think she'd be a valuable member, albeit very similar to the Guru. she could definitely fill in for Panda King in Kaine Island but instead of fireworks she'd shoot some ◻︎◎△, she'd help Guru with controlling Crusher, and she'd give some valuable insight on the hopping vampires although without Panda King in the picture A Cold Alliance would probably never happen.
moving on to Sly 2, the only available options are Rajan, Contessa and Jean Bison. due to the segment in the credits where they're shown moving on with their lives as well as the fact that they didn't murder ConnEr, i feel like these three are even more realistic candidates than Panda King. out of the three, Rajan would definitely be the most beneficial asset because he could summon lightning like duh ??? (although unsure as to whether he could still do that without the Clockwerk heart) but i think he'd reject the offer after how hard the gang fucked him over like they really destroyed the guy. personally, Jean Bison as a member would be as bland as Panda King, so that leaves us with the Contessa. yay, another female member but oh my god would she be a nightmare to work with. she'd undoubtedly betray the gang, probably hang out with them for like one or two adventures, try to sabotage the missions, and then secretly contact Dr Mauricio and tell him everything, leading the gang to Kaine Island just to snatch Sly's cane and then get half of the contents of the vault (or betray Dr Mauricio too after delivering the cane). she'd hate everyone on the team but would tolerate Bentley and Penelope. i'm unsure as to how she'd behave around Dimitri though.
anyway i'm in a very feisty mood because i've just had Toblerone ice cream so let's discuss other, more far-fetched possibilities. what if, after getting fired from Interpol, Winthorp contacted the gang to join? he'd be such a disaster like combine Bentley's cowardice from the beginning of Sly 2 and Murray's uselessness from Sly 1 and he'd match that lmao. he'd also cream his pants every time they had a run-in with Carmelita. 0 redeeming qualities as a gang member but i kinda want him to be the underdog. maybe like a romcom montage of Dimitri teaching Winthorp how to "get the girl"? hmmm... what about the gang recruiting Don Octavio after literally just sending him to jail a few months prior? 'if we wanted to get inside the Cooper Vault, we needed a musician - we'd have to break Don Octavio out of prison' and the episode would be like Jailbreak: the Sequel and its climax would be a Jailhouse Rock operation where Sly and Murray organise a prison riot as a diversion and the Don narrates it musically, occasionally breaking the fourth wall. you'd have to shake your controller to get him to sing the more difficult notes (bellydancing-gate flashbacks). i mean, it's not like he has anything better to do, opera isn't coming back any time soon. i'd also suggest Mrs Puffin from the orphanage but she'd probably be dead by this point, right? anyway, what do you guys think about them recruiting Le Paradox?

The UK will work with international partners to dismantle the cyber criminal ecosystem: UK statement at the UN Security Council. Statement by Ambassador James Kariuki, UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on threats posed by ransomware attacks. Location:United Nations, New York Delivered on: 8th November 2024 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered) Earlier this year in the General Assembly open-ended working group on information communication technologies, all states recognised that ransomware attacks “may have an impact on international peace and security.” Ransomware actors have consistently attacked critical national infrastructure, local government, and hospitals for personal financial gain. Most groups exist in jurisdictions that allow them to operate with impunity. We call on these states to do more to tackle the criminal gangs based in or making use of their territory. The UK, like many here today, continues to be a victim of ransomware incidents. Our National Health Service was affected by the Wannacry ransomware strain in 2017, which cost $118 million to recover from. Money that could have been spent on saving lives. This year a critical supplier to London hospitals was affected by a ransomware incident, which postponed over 10,000 health appointments and over 1,700 medical procedures. This disruption is replicated across our critical sectors, it is why the UK considers ransomware one of our most significant cyber threats to national security. To counter this, the UK is working to break the ransomware business and discourage victims from paying these criminals. Alongside international partners, the UK has issued 36 sanctions against actors involved in these types of activities. But we need a global response to this global threat. First, we urge others to join the UK Government in not paying ransoms. In October, the UK and 49 other members of the Counter Ransomware Initiative signed a public statement committing governments not to not pay ransoms. Second, coordination will be our best defence. Recently, UK law enforcement led a coalition of global law enforcement agencies to disrupt the Lockbit ransomware group, the most prolific ransomware group of 2024. And third, we must increase resilience to these attacks, by sharing information to illuminate the threats and build our collective understanding. We will continue to cooperate with international partners and industry to counter ransomware and dismantle the cyber criminal ecosystem. Read the full article

UK PM announced investment to tackle threat to national security from people-smuggling gangs
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will announce extra funding during the Interpol General Assembly in Glasgow on Monday, the first time in more than 50 years in the UK, Sky News reports.
The announcement, which kick-starts a week-long crackdown on people smuggling, will increase the total funding for the Border Security Team (BSC), set up by the Labour government to “wipe out gangs” – a new slogan introduced during the election campaign – for the next two years to £150 million.
Labour originally allocated £75m to BSC thanks to the former Conservative government’s scrapping of the Rwanda scheme, which sent illegal immigrants and asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing, asylum and resettlement.
The new £75m will go towards National Crime Agency (NCA) technology so agents can use data and “intensify co-operation” with other European countries to “investigate and disrupt human smuggling networks.” It will also fund 300 Border Agency command staff and 100 specialist NCA investigators and intelligence officers to catch criminals who facilitate people smuggling.
The ability of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to bring convictions faster in international organised crime cases will also be funded.
Sir Keir is expected to tell senior ministers and police chiefs from Interpol’s 196 member countries:
“The world needs to wake up to the severity of this challenge. I was elected to deliver security for the British people. And strong borders are a part of that. But security doesn’t stop at our borders. There’s nothing progressive about turning a blind eye as men, women and children die in the Channel. This is a vile trade that must be stamped out – wherever it thrives. So we’re taking our approach to counter-terrorism – which we know works, and applying it to the gangs, with our new Border Security Command. We’re ending the fragmentation between policing, Border Force and our intelligence agencies.”
The government announced in the King’s Speech that it will introduce a Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill in an attempt to tackle the problem of illegal immigrants arriving in the UK, especially on small boats. It will be the fourth Immigration Bill since 2022, as both the former Conservative and current Labour governments have struggled to tackle the issue.
Speaking on Sky News this morning, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper did not elaborate on how soon the number of small boat crossings could fall as a result of the funding.
She said the Prime Minister had made it clear that “we want to see significant progress” but that the government needed partnerships with other countries and “that is what we are working on.”
Asked whether the French authorities could do more to stop the sailings, she said more could be done through all European countries “across the supply chain” and the UK “needs to be in partnership with those countries.”
Illegal migration breaks records in UK
In October, the number of crossings on small boats reached a high this year of more than 5,000. In the first two days of November, 433 people arrived in the UK on small boats.
A total of 31,904 people have made such a journey this year, 16.5 per cent more than in 2023 (26,699) but still 22.1 per cent less than in 2022 (39,929).
Sir Keir will attend the European Policy Community summit in Hungary later this week, where migration and people smuggling are expected to be discussed.
The Prime Minister will also announce a £6 million increase in support for Interpol to fight global organised crime and £24 million to tackle serious international crime affecting the UK, particularly in the Western Balkans.
A Conservative Party spokesman said:
“Keir Starmer’s announcement on tackling gangs will mean absolutely nothing without a deterrent to stop migrants wishing to make the dangerous journey across the Channel.It is a shame that Starmer has not recognised the extent of the crisis in the Channel sooner, as he and the Labour Party voted against numerous measures to stop the gangs while they were in opposition. If Starmer continues to ignore the need for a deterrent to stop migrants crossing the Channel, there will be more deaths in the Channel as more and more migrants continue to cross it. He needs to get a grip of the crisis in the Channel.”

I think there's a new wave of struggle building in Latin America.
And.. spoilers, but.. I think it's the start of something good!?
Latin America, from this humble Anglo-America perspective, has been a battlefield both hot and cold for the arguments between socialist(and communist) and liberal democratic methods of doing economies and governments. To... understandably, mixed results.
The combination of the ease of guerilla warfare as well as grinding poverty and the risk of socialist/communist guerillas financed and backed by Russia to rip down any attempt at establishing a sheltered harbor for the economic and government systems, has made actually unfucking the problems of Latin America.. hard, to say the least.
Similarly, to Mexico. Between the native social problems, corruption, the contamination and manipulation from external countries like Russia and China (and lesser ones, but primarily those two) and mismangement and greed have meant actually dealing with our neighbors in central and south America a difficult prospect.
But, I think given the widespread bilingualism as well as growing resistance by our neighbors down south, as well as Russia once again crushing itself with its own ass in Ukraine, may just create a point of weakness to help the populations and nations to the south to start improving their setups and unfuck the corruption problems, and be less hampered with fears some fabian socialist will sneak into the assembly and either corrupt the legislation, or outright coup it on some guerilla fighter tinpot dictator shit.
The reason you don't see Canadians and Americans violating eachothers borders and sneaking over for jobs and trying to live outside society's legitimate lines, is the systems are stable and otherwise workable. You do see entire families and populations from South America- to say nothing of the undeveloped nations that find their ways to the US by way of the porous borders- sneaking in to escape the corruption, the futility, the mismangement, the gang warfare, the mafioso and corruption.
But what if Mexico was unfucked overnight? What if Mexico suddenly had the legal and political stability and economic strength akin to the US?
Hilariously you'd probably start seeing Mexico screaming about closing its borders further south to keep the desperate OTHER kinds of South Americans from sneaking in, living under the census and legitimate society and taking sweatshop labor jobs from the Native Mexicans. That.. probably ALREADY happens, and has since forever but especially since Mexico has more recently started flexing its industrial muscles and growing stronger.
But what if we just went across South America and, in this spot of weakness, encouraged a wave of anticorruption as well as good policy for business and law? Encouraged changes to their legal system, standards for environmental laws and helped set up blueprints for and funding for things like waste management- and ways to hit the embezzlers with rocks that compromise the good faith.
I think we're going to see a bigger, grass roots push for this sort of thing in South American populations by their citizens. And ways for them to organize that undermine the violent bullying of groups like FARC in Columbia.
In which case, you're going to start seeing transcontinental cooperation and more healthy growth to eliminate the obscene amounts of poverty and jobslessness.

A. An unprecedented special case in Canada + created a Canadian judicial miracle + recorded in Canadian history + shocked the world

"Two Thieves Sentenced," Windsor Star. June 25, 1943. Page 3. ---- Mindorff Is Given Three Years and Dawson Six Months ---- "It is a serious crime when goods to this value are taken from their rightful owners," Judge J. J. Coughlin remarked in County Judges' Court today in sentencing John Mindorff, 29, Pitt street, to three years in Portsmouth Penitentiary for being one of the ringleaders of a gang implicated in the theft of $5,934 worth of car parts from the Ford Motor Company in an early morning robbery.
SECOND SENTENCED A second man, John Dawson, 44, of Davis street, Sarnia, driver of a transport used in the robbery, who was described in court as a tool of others, was given six months in Ontario Reformatory at Guelph.
Before sentence was passed, Mindorff said he had nothing to say after His Honor reviewed a chain of evidence heard yesterday which led him to the judgment given today that the prisoner was guilty. Dawson had pleaded guilty at the opening of the trial and asked to be given an opportunity to make a clean breast of things.He then named Mindorff as the man who had approached him and asked him to drive his transport into the Ford Company to load the parts. In answer to a question of Acting Crown Attorney C. P. Hope, K.C., he said no money was mentioned.
"I am satisfied that both these men are among a number who were implicated in this theft," His Honor said,referring to the robbery on March 22 when a transport was driven into the Ford ground and loaded with materials. "I am also satisfied that the whole number involved has not been before this court."
GIVEN CONSIDERATION In reference to Dawson, he said that the fact that he pleaded guilty and had frankly stated his part was being taken into consideration, also character evidence that he had been a good workman previously. "We cannot over-look that no one should expect an honest deliveryman to come into his place and steal," observed His Honor.
In regard to Mindorff, Judge Coughlin said he felt that he had added to his offence by telling a false story after being caught.
He then referred to a discrepancy in the story Mindorff told police and his evidence in the case. His honor said he held it significant that the accused, an employe of the Ford Company, had started moving boxes of the goods taken before the transport arrived. When questioned by the police, Mindorff first said he had moved only a few boxes, but when confronted with other evidence in court he admitted he had piled them all. These included cartons of fuel oil pumps and 37 of carburetors.
"THREE YEARS" Neither prisoner made any comment after sentence was passed. When Judge Coughlin first pronounced the three-year term on the younger man,he apparently did not hear and asked His Honor to repeat the number of years. "How many, your Honor?" he interrogated and the court repeated, "Three Years."
The judge remarked that Dawson appeared to have been a simpleminded man who had been led astray. The prisoner spoke with a stutter when giving evidence.
"You have both betrayed those whose interest it was for you to serve," Judge Coughlin told the prisoners.
According to the evidence given before Judge Coughlin yesterday. Daw-son drove a truck into Plant No. 2 of the Ford Company in the early morning of the day in question and drove out with over 80 cartons of carburetors and oil fuel pumps.
Stated to have helped Dawson load, Mindorff, an employe of the Ford Company at the time, told the court that he did so when Dawson requested it. He denied that he had any knowledge he was loading goods to be stolen.
MINDORFF'S EVIDENCE Under questioning by C. P. Hope,K.C., acting Crown attorney, Mindorff admitted he had been employed in the axle assembling department and loading was not one of his duties but he said he frequently helped to do so.
Five crane operators, Gordon Cooper, James Black, William Bartlett, Leo Chalut, and Alfred W. Peters, all gave evidence that Mindorff had helped them in loading at various times.
John Langman, Sarnia, owner of the transport firm for whom Dawson was driving at the time of his arrest, said he had always found the accused hon-est in handling collections for the company. A previous employer, Alton B. Wright of Strathroy, gave similar evidence.

Addressing Haiti's Security Crisis: Global Collaborative Efforts
Urgent Response to Alarming Atrocities
In a unified and determined effort aimed at addressing the escalating security crisis in Haiti, Barbara Feinstein, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Caribbean Affairs and Haiti at the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs spearheaded a crucial discussion on this pressing matter. The assembly underscored the imperative of prompt action to effectively counteract the ongoing atrocities perpetrated by gangs. These egregious acts span from indiscriminate attacks on vulnerable individuals to the rampant occurrences of kidnappings and extortion. A Multifaceted Approach to Stability Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Feinstein underscored the United States multifaceted approach to restoring stability in Haiti. This comprehensive strategy encompasses not only bolstering security forces but also extending humanitarian, economic, and health aid to safeguard essential aspects of livelihood. The United States remains committed to fostering inclusive political dialogue and supporting Haitian-led initiatives, such as the CARICOM Eminent Persons Group, to establish a roadmap for political consensus and pave the way for upcoming elections.
Strengthening Haitian National Police
Central to the security initiative is the strengthening of the Haitian National Police (HNP). The United States has allocated substantial resources – more than $120 million over the past two years – to enhance the HNP's capabilities in countering gang violence. This includes equipping specialized officers for complex anti-gang operations, collaborating with community policing units, and providing advisory support to HNP leadership. Feinstein emphasized the necessity for additional international assistance to further amplify HNP's effectiveness. Kenya's Crucial Leadership Role A pivotal development emerged as Kenya expressed its affirmative consideration to spearhead a multinational force to aid Haitian security efforts. The Kenyan Government's commitment includes offering 1,000 police officers to serve in this force. This groundbreaking decision is poised to infuse fresh momentum into the security landscape by augmenting personnel dedicated to safeguarding vital infrastructure sites. This, in turn, would enable the Haitian National Police to intensify their focus on combatting rampant gang activities.
Path Forward and Collaborative Endeavors
Feinstein detailed the forthcoming steps in this collaborative endeavor. The Kenyan Government plans to carry out an on-ground assessment in Haiti in the coming weeks. They will engage with various stakeholders within the country and at the United Nations. Once they secure domestic approval, Kenya will cooperate with the United Nations to obtain authorization for the multinational force. The United States is prepared to introduce a resolution for this goal, collaborating with Security Council partners to swiftly secure approval. Feinstein also pointed out the forthcoming United Nations report on security options for Haiti, expected by August 15th. This report is anticipated to influence the force's direction.
Rallying International Support
Feinstein's address concluded with a call to action for the broader international community. She urged other nations to contribute crucial resources, including funding, equipment, and personnel, to bolster the security initiative. This unified approach underscores the determination to alleviate Haiti's security concerns and signals optimism for constructive collaboration with Haitian stakeholders, the diaspora, Congress, and global partners in this vital mission.

For the last three years, Alberta police services have seen a new trend in illegal firearms: a surge in guns built using privately manufactured or smuggled parts that make them untraceable. These are often referred to as ghost guns.
"It's becoming a massive problem for Canadian law enforcement and the public," said Sgt. Richard Kurina is an officer with the Lethbridge Police Service who monitors southern Alberta and its border crossings as an RCMP National Weapons Enforcement Support Team.
Canadian firearms laws regulate receivers, where information like serial numbers is stored. These privately made guns exclude regulatory information, causing challenges for investigations, prosecutions, and proactive operations. "Our crime gun picture has probably doubled or tripled," said Acting Staff Sgt. Ben Lawson of the Calgary Police Service's firearms investigative unit.
Calgary police seized 31 PMFs last year, including 16 3D-printed guns. That's about six percent of all crime guns in 2022, with one each in 2021 and 2020.
The force also recently conducted two operations targeting 3D-printed firearms. One of those investigations seized three printers and five completed handguns, resulting in 66 charges against two men running the gun printing and trafficking operation in Calgary.
Edmonton police recovered seven 3D-printed firearms in 2022. The force only just started keeping statistics for them in southern Alberta said he was aware of a handful of cases last year involving 3D-printing operations last year, including in small rural communities.
That part of the province has also been seeing more Polymer80s—mostly assembled gun kits from the United States that people can finish with unregulated parts.
"In the last several years, we've seen an uptick or increased presence of privately manufactured firearms," he said, "and this is going to grow exponentially."
These untraceable guns, assembled in garages, basements, and warehouses or smuggled from the U.S., present new challenges for law enforcement. And police investigations are working to stay on pace with the developments, and I think we're on the beginning of that trend," said Doug King, a criminology professor at Mount Royal University.
"It's the age-old issue of how law enforcement and criminal law keep up with technological changes. Violence has in Alberta between 2017 and 2021; firearms-related offenses jumped 66 percent, according to Statistics Canada crime data.
The Calgary Police Service said 126 shootings occurred in the city last year. That's 33 percent higher than in 2021 and 45 percent higher than the five-year average of 500 crime guns seized in 2022. The police were unable to trace the origins of half of them.
Alberta's government is increasing support to tackle gun crime, including $4.4 million in this year's provincial budget to create firearms investigative and gang suppression units in the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams, an umbrella of multiple levels of law enforcement where there is no place for illegal activity in Alberta must be consequences for criminal activity," reads an email response from the minister of justice's spokesperson, Ethan Lecavalier-Kidney.
"A proactive increase of resources to the Alberta Chief Firearms Office is part of our strategy to make our communities fund law enforcement with files like illegal firearms manufacturing, 3D printing, and more resources for Crown prosecutors.
But law enforcement teams say it'll take more cooperation between forces and better follow-through on prosecutions to keep pace with the people manufacturing these guns. "One hurdle that I find is the follow-through on the prosecution of the offenses," Kurina said.
This is the way to tackle PMFs. Instead of leaving it up to individual police agencies to do it, who are absolutely strapped right now in terms of workload, I think the federal government needs to step up and fund these kinds of interagency investigation units," he said.
Calgary police are working with the chief firearms officer to get information about the people and things involved in these crimes to assist in investigations are also trying to make sure police are providing the information they need to see charges through to convictions.
As law enforcement adjusts, Kurina says this will be a test for police because this type of activity is really at its core what the criminal use of firearms is in Canada and Alberta."

Payday 3 Now Has a Steam Page
Finally, a new criminal dawn has arrived. The makers of the cooperative heist-failure simulator Payday 3, which has a Steam page today, are Overkill Software. Additionally, there is a teaser in which four enigmatic characters watch as fireworks explode over the New York cityscape. One of the few details we are aware of regarding the newest instalment in the series, Payday 3, which Koch Media, the series' publisher, has picked up for its Prime Matter label, is that it will take place in New York. The original four members of the Payday Gang, Dallas, Chains, Wolf, and Hoxton, will be back following Hoxton's brief replacement by his brother Houston in Payday 2. "Step out of retirement back into the life of crime in the shoes of the Payday Gang," says the store page, "the envy of their peers and the nightmare of law-enforcement wherever they go. Several years after the crew's reign of terror over Washington DC has ended, they assemble once again to deal with the threat that roused them out of early retirement." During a 10th anniversary stream in 2021, Overkill explained that it wants Payday 3's New York to be "enormous" and "living", with locations that change significantly once the alarms go off and the shooting begins. It also plans to modernize things with high-tech surveillance, new gadgets, and media commentary on the gang's criminal exploits. Apparently cryptocurrency and tech giants will play a part in the plot. The deal between Starbreeze, who published Payday 2, and new owners Koch Media includes up to 18 months of post-release support. That's not surprising, given that a return to Payday 2 and steady stream of DLC helped keep Starbreeze alive following the disastrous launch of Overkill's The Walking Dead, a CFO convicted of insider trading, reconstruction to avoid bankruptcy, and laying off 60 employees. As acting CEO Tobias Sjögren said in a triumphant financial report covering the end of 2020(opens in new tab), "Our Payday franchise and 'games as a service model' really showed their muscles during the year with several successful releases of content for Payday 2. By late December, Payday 2 had become the biggest game community on Steam, with 7.1 million members. We have executed two capital raises during the year and paid off a large proportion of our debts, strengthened our financial position and thus enabling the continued successful development of Payday 3 in 2021—all key steps in putting Starbreeze back on the map as an industry leader." Basically, don't be too shocked when Payday 3 turns out to be a fully live-service game, possibly with some kind of battle pass. Read the full article

Let’s talk about Sexual Frustration as Dr M’s real motive
Ok this a big one but if there’s one thing i love about my degree is watching movies and reading books and then just saying that the reason the characters act the way they do is because they’re gay. I 100% think Dr Michael falls into that category.
Y’all have changed my mind about ConnEr like i’ve genuinely garnered so much hate for him at this point that it even extends to Sly. He is truly ConnEr’s son in some regards: in the way he treats his teammates and how he operates, or how his thrill-seeking stunts come at the expense of others’ frustration or worry. If we’re going by Dr Mauricio’s dialogue (with literally everyone), all these negative aspects must’ve come from ConnEr surely. Although we never meet ConnEr, Sly, as a reflection, is an indication of what he was like.
With that being established, let’s use Sly and Bentley’s dynamic in Sly 3 as a parallel to ConnEr and Dr Matthew: ConnEr is a dashing suave young man who assembles a band of thieves to help with his heists but little does he know one of them has a crush on him. In Matthew’s eyes, ConnEr is a form of masculinity he could never have. Just like Arpeggio, he’s a puny nerd with limited physical prowess. He relies on brains rather than brawn and that’s not appreciated in society. On the subject of society, I’m assuming at the time ConnEr’s gang was operating, Matthew coming out wouldn’t really be an option.
Dr Mario’s limited physical abilities and outcast status (which probably led him to a life of crime in the first place) leads to a romanticized “invasion of the bodysnatchers” moment, where he wants ConnEr in order to satisfy his frustrations. It’s territorial in its psychological root. If ConnEr was his boo he would do anything for him, especially the tasks that seem impossible to someone with Mario’s body. It’s the “nerd wants jock” archetype. Taking it a step further, Mario probably liked being neglected by ConnEr, in a submissive bottom way (even though, deep down, he always wanted to top ConnEr to really drive home the territorial aspect. I mean... why else would he spend so many years of his life trying to drill the Cooper hole Vault). ahem Yes, Mario enjoyed playing second fiddle to ConnEr because as long as ConnEr was the strong alpha male who led his team, it kept the dream real. Why else would Mario stay in the team? He longed for the heists that had him work closely with ConnEr, and ConnEr being the aloof idiot that he was never even considered the possibility that Mario wanted him.
It’s not until Sly’s mom entered the scene that Dr Mahershala really started losing his shit. She was the monkeywrench (lol) to his gay plans because she had him face the facts: that ConnEr never gave a shit about his teammates, that the crush was one-sided, and, worst of all, that ConnEr now belonged to someone else. The metaphorical ownership ceased and Mahershala must’ve been pissed to say the least. His pent-up sexual desires led to anger no doubt and that must’ve been the point in the timeline when the gang started breaking up. I’d even suggest that once ConnEr started dating Sly’s mom and things started getting serious between them, Mahershala came out to him and received backlash. Or, if we’re dead-set on painting ConnEr as the bad guy, he knocked up Sly’s mom and couldn’t get out of marriage, which drove Mahershala over the edge. If Mahershala confessed his true feelings in a desperate last attempt, ConnEr would have 100% shun him, rejected him and shamed him. That encounter could be the last encounter before ConnEr chose the domestic life, leaving Mahershala and McSweeney behind. Those two didn’t really mesh so everyone went their separate ways and Mahershala was so angry at how things turned out that his eternal grudge was born. Acquiring the deed to Kaine Island was like how some people steal underwear as a souvenir.
Flash-forward to the current timeline when he sees Sly trying to break into the Vault. To Dr Murphy, Sly is the living reminder that the love of his life chose someone else over him, the child of a man he loved and a woman he loathed. So, the immediate response is undoubtedly: destroy. Murphy sees himself in Bentley and tries to warn him without revealing too much because the pain of being rejected by ConnEr for being gay is too much to relive. The trauma that must’ve caused probably led to him not coming out to anyone else ever. He doesn’t want Bentley to repeat the past but Bentley’s doing his own thing or whatever the fuck. Then, when Murphy goes head-to-head with Murray, it’s clear that his grudge had him try to gain ConnEr’s physical prowess to fulfill those aforementioned desires. If ConnEr couldn’t satiate his weak body, he’d work out and become as tough as him. I mean, by the time Dr Murphy faces Sly and the Gang, he’s all three members combined: the brains he always had, McSweeney’s strength and ConnEr’s alpha masculinity. But even after acquiring that form of masculinity, he realised that in the end what he really wanted was ConnEr himself and nothing could ever fill that void.
Depending on the angle you see it (but also considering that now in my 3rd year of uni i’ve become an expert in slapping labels on fictional characters), we could even say that Bentley’s inner turmoil following A Flight of Fancy is pretty fruity. He’s not jealous that Penelope wants Sly instead of him, he’s mad that Penelope is out to steal his man. All he wants is for his shell’s holes to be filled ok i’m done now

thinking about this more so im here to ramble. below the cut bc it's long and also bc i might ficify it so if you dont want spoilers for future fics shoo or whatever
sly 1: Honor Among Thieves
Honor Among Thieves is literally just the first game but slightly to the left like the vaults and safes all those contain the parts of the map to Kain Island (which was obviously stolen from connor cooper 10 years before the beginning of the game)
i personally think that the levels within the games should be reversed as well meaning you fight Dr. M first and then Don Octavio last
however i still think we should add murray to the party first (during Dr. M's fight which would then take place in italy??????? for the final boss to take place on Kain Island still you need to fuck some things around so i might just do a total roleswap between Dr. M and Don Octavio, with the evil Dr. O being determined to steal the cooper family vault and M being a forgotten opera(?) singer)
hey if the Black Baron assisted in murdering slys dad how do you think he feels about Penelope joining the team? i figure it's a parallel of how he feels about the panda king joining the team in the modern timeline
ok so the fiendish five is just Octavio, the Mask, Penelope, Tsao, and M, implying that Captain LeFwee is just simply not real which fascinates me and also throws a wrench in my plans
order of episodes: An Opera of Fear/Honor Among Theives w/ Dr. M, Cold Reunion w/ Tsao, ...The Plane One w/ Penelope, Rumble Down Under w/Mask of Dark Earth, and then Honor Among Theives/Opera of Fear w/ Octavio
party members include Murray, Panda King, Penelope, the Guru, and then we just squeeze dimitri in there somewhere
hot take. what if instead of the fiendish five it was like the Sinister Six and lefwee was a part of it
wait isnt the Sinister six the marvel villains
oh well anyway theres six villains in the "first" game now
ok so New Order is An Opera of Fear/Honor Among Theives w/ Dr. M, uhhh whatever the pirate one is w/LeFwee, Cold Reunion w/ Tsao, ...The Plane One w/ Penelope, Rumble Down Under w/Mask of Dark Earth, and then Honor Among Theives/Opera of Fear w/ Octavio
and then the team is Murray, Dimitri, Panda King, Penelope, and then the Guru
speaking of are you still assembling a team in reversed!Honor Among Thieves and if so does that team stay with you throughout the series. i hope yes but that's bc i like found family
sly 2: Band of Thieves (still)
band of thieves is so fun to think about. without the thievius raccoonus sly has very little idea of anything that his family has done just that they're thieves. so when he discovers that a set of Mysterious Parts somehow connected to his legacy are being displayed in a museum somewhere he goes after them
WHOOPS the Klaww Gang (still the villains of reversed!Band of Thieves, just in opposite order, minus neyla who remains the same i think) has stolen them already
hey wait if Dimitri teams up with the CG during the "first" game does this mean he betrays them for the Klaww Gang in this one. i like that idea we're running with it
reversed!band of thieves goes as so: The Black Chateau, with main villain Arpeggio; Menace In The North, Eh? followed by He Who Tames the Iron Horse, both starring Jean Bison; A Tangled Web and Jailbreak!, both starring The Contessa; The Predator Awakes and A Starry-Eyed Encounter, both starring Rajan; and then finally Anatomy of Disaster starring BOOM secret plottwist leader of the Klaww Gang dimitri
ok wait maybe neyla wont stay the same we can't have TWO betrayals that's not how this works /hj
maybe neyla will betray them during He Who Tames and then the CG hear the leader of the Klaww Gang is purple and tbeyre like FUCK IT MUST BE NEYLA meanwhile Dimitri is sitting there like yup mhm definitely neyla
maybe that's why hes in jail in Honor Among Thieves maybe it's for Klaww gang shenanigans and maybe neyla was working in his absence
i still think it should be Clock-La at the end but then again maybe not. no matter what it's not Clockwerk himself and the cooper gang dont actually destroy him (obviously) they just destroy whoever was possessing him
bentley is still paralyzed
hey if sly 3 comes first and still has them making the team, does this mean they first meet murray in Italy? were they still childhood friends? why did he leave the team?
sly 3: the thievius raccoonus
and then we get to Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus bc sly meets Jim McSweeney and learns that there was a COOPER BOOK! and of course sly wants the cooper book. so he reassembles the team (except they might not have disassembled havent decided that yet) and they go searching
i dont think the panda king will be evil in reversed!Thievius Raccoonus i think he should stay a good guy
the thievius raccoonus is supposedly being held by clockwerk (who will still be the final boss i think. hes too cool not to be) only when they get to his lair (replacing the tutorial level in paris) they figure out that the thievius raccoonus was STOLEN by somebody who ALSO WANTED TO BE EVIL
order: Fire in the Sky with panda kingn't, Viscous Voodoo with Mz. Ruby, Sunset Snake Eyes with Muggshot, Tides of Terror with Raleigh, and then The Cold Heart of Hate with Clockwerk
idk who the panda kings evil replacement will be. possibly Tsao again?????? muggshot gets to be a villain twice why cant he
yknow I might actually switch Clockwerk and Raleigh's roles????? raleigh gets to be an evil metal bird man and clockwerk is a fuckin nerd frog????? just to keep the switches nice and tidy. raleigh would be a diff kind of bird tho not an owl
anyway if clockwerk remains clockwerk then the final level will be effectively The Cold Heart of Hate but in paris, therefore making the location of the og tutorial the location of the reversed!final boss
possibly a play on the Late to the Party AU of og!sly 2 where the CG is fighting through a mind-controlled Paris to get to clockwerk....
misc
i think the "game" names have t0 reflect the real names so honor among thieves gets to have a sly cooper and the thievius raccoonus esc thing
Sly Cooper and the Kain Island or something
band of thieves can stay the same
Sly Cooper and the Map of Kain sounds like a crossover with like god of war or somethin
Sly Cooper and Thieves' Honor?
the question is do we make reversed!sly 3 simply Sly 3: The Theivius Raccoonus or do we give it a pun. i cannot use thick as thieves for legal reasons. maybe something like Once A Thief (always a thief) yknow
ok it's almost 3am im gonna go to bed now
Sly1 AU where the whole timeline is flipped.
You are after the vault and the Fearsome Five (Don Octavio, Mask of Dark Earth -maybe possessing The Guru?-, Penelope, General Tsao, and Dr. M) are hellbent on stopping the Cooper Gang from finding all the torn up pieces of the map containing the location to Cain (Cane?) Island.
#can we talk about don octavios name being a pun bc its octave and hes the singer#sodalites sclooper#sodalite scribbles#ideas#reversed timeline AU#ill get a catchier name for it later#3-2-1 au? bc its like the 3rd game then the 2nd then the 1st???#ill tjink about it

"What is everyones favorite color?"
Vic Sage likes blues. Dark blues. Because he is dark and mysterious.
And Jeremiah Gottwald, well. Mid series Jeremiah hates the color orange, but post series Jeremiah practically bleeds ORANGE.
I like to think Minerva Mcgonagall loves purple because it is a soft, dignified color, not without its beauty.
Special Agent Dale Cooper does not close himself off to one possibility, but I believe if he had to narrow it down it would be an earthy green color like the forests of the Pacific Northwest.
Ask him in person and he’ll insist that this is a stupid question and he doesn’t have time for such pointless frivolities, but deep down, I believe Walter is a fan of both purple and green.
Scar, on the other hand, actually doesn’t have a favorite color, but when he’s not brooding I think he is appreciating the warmth of yellow like the sun, and the exotic magenta buds that bloom as desert flowers.
Eden is a fan of pastel colors, but she is especially partial to blue and pink. They are soft like her voice when she’s not particularly stressed.
Laurie, vivacious woman that she is, is a fan of bold reds, like crimson and maroon. They make a statement, and prove that she’s not fucking around… Or maybe she is.
Teddy Loves all the colors. Genuinely. And he expresses this through his hair.
And as we speak. Kuroh’s favorite color is silver. Those of us who have watched K know why ;)

Hi! Do you have any tip choosing a group name? All the ones I can think about sounds stupid. I really want a group name for muy main characters. Thank you.
Choosing a Group Name
The answer depends on what kind of group it is.
Is it a big group or a small group? A formal group or an informal group? Is it a Team Good group or a Team Bad group? Is it a group based around a business, service, or industry? Is it a social group? Is it a philanthropic group?
Group Synonyms for Social Groups
group, cortege, gang, association, band, crowd, faction, circle, society, bunch, clique, crew, league, lot, pack, coterie, platoon, posse, set, club, clan, retinue, cortege, entourage, squad, troupe, peeps. Also: boys, boyz, girls, girlz, guys, ladies, gents, folks, kin, kids, etc. You could also use any collective name, like idiots, nutters, geeks, nerds...
If it's a business or corporation, my guide to Naming a Fictional Business or Corporation might help.
Otherwise, Group Synonyms for Business/Organizational Groups:
group, association, faction, society, league, club, federation, guild, league, alliance, coalition, confederation, fellowship, fraternity, consortium, syndicate, company, union, team, community, assembly, order, organization, cooperative, institute
Now, look for a word that will go with one of the above synonyms. Let's say we're trying to come up with a name for a group of friends who go to Seaside High School in a town called Nanover, in an area called "the bight." Their town mascot is a seagull, and as a social thing, they all drive red cars.
They could be known as...
The Seaside (Group, Gang, Circle, Girls, Society...)
Seaside (Girls, Boys, Kids, Peeps...)
The Seaside Gulls
The Gull Gang, The Gull Squad, The Gull Guys
The Bight Bunch, The Bight Boys, The Bight Band
The Nanover Nerds
The Red Ride Crew
You can also look at shared hobbies, jobs, or events. The B-Ball Bunch, the Paris Pack, The Homecoming Club, The Cinema Crew
Play around with things. List out common elements among this group and try them out with different synonyms. See what works!
You can also try the Fantasy Name Generators site to see if it offers anything that works.
Good luck!
