hey hey hey here we go again

Not much to say about the CMC, it didn’t take me long to figure out what I wanted to do with each of their designs

Spike on the other hand was a challenge since I couldn’t just go “Insert horse pattern here" and be done with it (in my own words from earlier, “how can you change what’s already perfect”)…. I had to do a little brainstorming. Ended up giving him a bit more of a lizard vibe; thinking along the lines of bearded dragons… I love drawing lizard toes lol

heres some bonus spikes

Okay, has anyone else tried connecting the dots between the Cooper Clan members? Because recently I just started and in doing so, by putting them on a timeline, I’ve noticed that many of them are probably direct relatives to each other

Now bear in mind, this is me operating under the understanding that all of these Coopers are directly descended from one another (because that’s what an ancestor is, not an uncle, an aunt, or a distant cousin once or twice removed), plus Sly himself has said more than once that he’s from a long LINE of thieves, so let’s just work with that in mind.

I’m also basing this off of all available information from all of the games, primarily Thieves in Time

Some examples:

Rioichi and Henriette

In Thieves in Time, we learn that Rioichi was alive and already well-established during the chapter “Turning Japanese” (roughly in his 30’s or 40’s at the time) in the year 1603.

Later in the game in the chapter “40 Thieves” Sly discovers treasure that would later be stolen by Henriette in the year 1616, thirteen years after Rioichi, making her more than likely his daughter. Though it does make me wonder why a Japanese guy would give his daughter a name like Henriette. But then again this is a family that has a thieving reputation dating back to the dawn of time and a centuries old book with seemingly unlimited pages to record it so let’s not think too hard here about logic.

Thaddeus and Tennessee

We also learn I n Thieves in Time, “Go West Young Raccoon” that “Tennessee Kid” Cooper was active in the year 1884, during the Wild West (which for any non-Americans was roughly around 1865 to the 1900s, though that’s a matter of debate for some). Let’s assume he’s somewhere in his late 20’s or early 30’s, putting his year of birth in either the 1860’s or 1850’s.

We also know, thanks to dialogue from Sly 3, that Thaddeus Winslow Cooper the III was active during Victorian London which lasted from 1837 to 1901. From here, things get tricky. In “Goodbye my Sweet” we get a look at Thaddeus’ section of the Thievius Raccoonus, which gives us two different contradicting dates to work with. His chapter is shown to have been penned in 1839, however, the included picture of Thaddeus is shown to have been made in 1893, roughly nine years after the Cooper Gang’s encounter with Tennessee.

Based off this, my preferred theory is that Thaddeus is Tennessee’s grandfather, or (and I can’t think of a single reason why Clockwerk would allow this fly) Thaddeus and Tennessee are cousins in some way.

And before someone brings up the Cooper Vault, and how Tennessee’s shrine comes before Thaddeus’, I’d like to point out that also in the vault, Sir Galleth’s shrine comes before Salim Al-Kupar, despite Salim having lived some 300 years before him.

Otto and Conner

And here is where the Cooper record comes to its blurriest. While we do have an idea of when Conner was born (with him having died in 1992, and his birth year suspected to be around the 1960s, maybe the late 50’s), we know next to nothing about Otto, besides that he was an ace pilot and skilled mechanic. It is generally accepted that he was active during WW1 or WW2.

If Otto was around for WW1, then at the very least he was born in the 1890’s, but there’s a small snag named Tennessee that says otherwise. If he was born in the 1890’s then he’d almost certainly be Kid Cooper’s son. Which raises the question of why Otto is presumably European (seeing as his surname is Van Cooper) while Tennessee is unashamedly American.

Now if Otto was around for WW2, it would put his year of birth around the 1910s, putting some room between him and Tennessee, while also closing the distance between him and Conner, at the latest, Conner would have likely been in his late 40’s if Conner was born in the 1950’s, maybe he was even in his 50’s. But what really cinches this for me is that Otto and Conner were both technologically savvy, with Otto and his planes, and Conner with computers. As for how Conner is (presumably) American and how Otto is European, well……. I got nothing. I guess Conner must’ve changed it for whatever reason

Thoughts or headcanons?

Sly Cooper 4 Plothole

So quick question, and this is a rhetorical one, HOW DOES TIME TRAVEL WORK IN SLY COOPER?

Yes I understand that the Cooper Gang uses a Time Machine in Murray’s van, what I mean is that the end of the gang leaves us on the huge cliff hanger that Sly is lost in Ancient Egypt, and my question is “Why should he be?” Here’s what I mean, in the final mission, we get to play as all of the members of the Cooper Clan one last time, retrieving their canes one by one, and as they do, Bentley says that the timeline begins “correcting itself” basically, sending them back to their respective time periods, after only being temporally displaced for a solid few minutes. So if Sly was sent way back to Ancient Egypt, why wasn’t he shot back to the future like his ancestors were?

FURTHER MORE: How were the Cooper Gang even able to remain in one time period for as long as they did? By the previously established logic, they should’ve been sent back to the future not long after they set foot in Feudal Japan to save Rioichi.

God, I prefer watching Sly 4’s cinematic like I did when I was a kid. Just turning my brain off and not thinking too hard about it.

Bigger Bodies Smiling Critter’s Fates

So assuming that there was a bigger body version of every Smiling Critter, Ollie did say there used to be eight of them, and Leith did mention DogDay & Picky Piggy by name, exactly what did happen to them?

Since the lines from DogDay’s cutout fit what happened to the Bigger Body DogDay, let’s make the safe assumption that each cutout holds some kernels of truth as to what happened

Bubba Bubbaphant - DEAD: Hearing that Bubba “remembers” us, it could be that he, like the rest of the critters are talking to the player, like DogDay’s cutout, or to someone else, say, another Smiling Critter. If the latter is the case, then maybe he witnessed Picky making a meal out of Kickin’. He later confronted Picky about it, and she “seared” him to keep him quiet.

Kickin’ Chicken - DEAD: Kickin’s cutout is all about him wanting to go outside as he had never been before (maybe he was one of the babies in Home Sweet Home?), unfortunately his efforts were unsuccessful (we know he died, since his cutout ends with him screaming, just like DogDay’s), and was most likely killed by CatNap or the Prototype for trying, and later cannabalized by Picky.

Picky Piggy - ALIVE(?): Picky’s cutout treats the player to Picky treating herself to EATING her fellow Smiling Critters (DogDay said that the Critters tried fight off the Prototype’s control, operative word being TRIED). Most likely scenario is that when food started to run out, the Prototype influenced her to cannabilize (or maybe even KILL) her critter companions (we know for a fact she ate Kickin’, Bubba, and Crafty, in that order?). Personally, seeing as she offers her friendship at the end, I can totally see this symbolizing MOB planning to bring her back as a playable monster in Project Playtime. Though it can also be that she’s dead by the time of Chapter 3.

Hoppy Hopscotch - DEAD(?): Hoppy’s cutout details her desire to hop to the moon (comparing her hopes to escape to a Herculean feat.). Maybe she was being chased, or maybe she was killed in a failed escape, and maybe she tried escaping with Kickin’, we don’t know. We also don’t know is she’s even dead (though it’s most likely.) since we don’t hear a scream at the end of her cutout, just her dialogue glitching.

Bobby Bearhug - DEAD(?): Bobby’s cutout shows her becoming more and more desperate to not be alone (asking to not be left alone and that she is lost without somebody). Maybe she found companionship in her fellow Smiling Critters, and as they began dropping like flies, it eventually became a dependency. A dependency that led to her being killed. (Headcanon time: since DogDay is the last known good-hearted Smiling Critter left alive, maybe they tried to stand up against CatNap or tried to escape, but ended in failure, resulting in Bobby being killed and DogDay being captured, maimed, and presumed dead by Ollie.)(Personal note: I think she’s my favorite SC 😄😅)

CraftyCorn - DEAD: Crafty, we know was eventually killed by Picky, and while her audio does suggest that she went mad (wanting more “red”) and I’m not disputing the theory, HOWEVER, notice that she was also the third known Critter eaten by Picky, OPERATIVE WORD BEING THIRD. Maybe what happened is that Crafty found out Picky was feeding on the others, and the fear and rage (and maybe some influence from the prototype?) drove her to attack Picky. You can guess who came out on top, given that her cutout screams for a second as well. The only thing that throws me though is that her last line of audio is “Ah! Now that’s much better.” Maybe she found peace on the other side?
