i was thinking in the shower about how things would have turned out had Bentley managed to break into the Cooper Vault without needing to recruit anyone. for starters, there wouldn't be a Sly 3 lol... i mean Sly and Bentley would definitely have gone after Murray so An Opera of Fear and Rumble Down Under would have happened i guess but for the sake of the post let's say they wouldn't have asked the Guru to join the gang. so no Netherlands and no China meaning no Penelope and no Panda King, and by extent no Dimitri because of no deal in Netherlands.

removing Sly 3's secondary characters kinda puts things into perspective in terms of character development. in Sly 1 we collected Thievius Racconus pages as we got closer to the truth and Sly learned new tricks and honed his skills in preparation for his encounter with Clockwerk. Sly 2 was just a traumatic trainwreck altogether like SP really put the gang through the wringer idk how they survived.

in Sly 3 this development is brought about through the secondary characters and their relationships with the protagonists. Penelope drives a wedge between Sly and Bentley forcing the latter to muster up the courage and step outside of Sly's shadow for a minute; Panda King's return demands Sly to mature and let go of the past; Dimitri tests the gang's patience; both Penelope and Panda King contribute to the Murray van storyline which kinda exhibited that yea! in the long run, Murray might be the dummy of the group as Dr Michael chastises at the end but he is definitely the heart of the gang.

but if all this never happened then how would Honour Among Thieves play out? funny thing is, even if they recruited the extended gang, shit hit the fan almost immediately upon arrival so i'm assuming the same would apply if the original trio had tried to pull it off on their own? no? as a sidenote: i'm also thinking that Sly 2 is the only game in the series that kinda had like the aspect of urgency if you think about it. someone stole the Clockwerk parts and they were going to rebuild him so tick tock bitch. Sly 1 and 3 however don't really have that sense of time pressure. the Fiendish Five were sitting on their asses for literally a decade before Sly popped up for the pages and don't even get me started on the possibility of Dr Michael managing to crack the Cooper Vault open like what a loser lmao. with this in mind, Bentley would have the time to develop his tech in order to do the tasks that the extended gang members would have done. i mean if he managed to build a time machine surely he could make his tech waterproof ?

so the entire heist goes according to plan with the possibility of them tripping that stupid alarm still at play. i never intended to do a full play by play "what if...?" of Honour Among Thieves but suffice to say Carmelita would 100% show up to save the day even with the change of context. i think the most important change would be that Bentley's run-in with Dr Michael would go down very differently. i don't think he'd defend Sly; i actually think Dr Michael would get to him even without Penelope's introduction because she only brought out feelings that were brewing deep in Bentley's subconscious (especially after the end of Sly 2, becoming disabled for a cause that was never his and that dedication arguably never being reciprocated). he might not have shown it in the moment but i think that conversation would significantly shape Bentley's character and if Sly got out of the episode unscathed, the gang would probably split. leaving the Guru behind would also give Murray the motive to go his own way.

it's clear that Sly 3's secondary characters helped the gang get over some unspoken issues they had between them, even if they got resolved behind each other's backs (because Bentley only vents to Penelope about his feelings and doesn't go straight to Sly, who, in turn, doesn't even know there's an issue to begin with). personally, and i feel kinda stupid for suggesting something so simplistic in relation to how this game would be better like 7-8 years after being on this godforsaken website and analysing it to the point where it feels like the bible, i feel like one more episode would help really flesh out the problems the gang had. we never get direct acknowledgment or accountability from Sly and it feels like he's too focused on entering the Vault to care about Bentley's feelings, or anyone else's for that matter (there's like 7 anon asks gathering dust in my inbox about why i have anti-Sly sentiment and that number better not go up). all it takes is a 'you know what guys? you should enter the vault with me after literally sticking by me since childhood and risking your lives fighting my own battles' and they shoot up the van like it's a guest on Wendy.

Sly 2's ending proved that the protagonists aren't Riverdale characters who just go through weekly life-threatening events without any guilt, trauma and anxiety; and then in Sly 3 we get high-stake situations akin to the ClockLa saga, like the Dragon snatching Penelope, but because it's crammed between episodes instead of games, the characters come out of it seemingly unfazed. the complete lack of recognition for all of this makes it seem like Sly is an awful leader for the gang. like i think Penelope would genuinely snap when she got taken hostage by LeFwee after the dragon thing.

i think the internal politics of the gang could have been explored way better but i understand that juggling that and the introduction of one new character per episode would be impossible. i'd love to see Bentley confronting Sly, Murray realising that he's getting more support about what matters to him (the van, the Guru's wellbeing) from the literal strangers they've recruited than his best friends, Sly realising that his lack of involvement in the gang's friendship is what turned Dr Michael against ConnEr. maybe Honour Among Thieves could have been a two-parter honestly. maybe the Dimitri Dr Michael piranha hybrid bossfight should have never made the cut.

Fic Idea For the K/DA Universe (Akali-centric)

My Name Fic AU K/DA

Lee Cho-min is a schoolgirl, lonely, harassed, and bullied for rumors that her mother is a gang member. Her mother, the only family member who gave a rat’s ass about her is a wanted woman and mysteriously missing, though she tries to keep in touch over the phone.

One fateful day, on the young girl’s 17th birthday, her mother is shot dead at her doorstep. Cho-min is heartbroken at the woman’s death, her last words to her being ones of pain, loneliness, and anger. The police won’t do shit, and even the mysterious gang her mother belonged to, “Kinkou”, won’t seek vengeance on her behalf. When Cho-min’s own methods almost get her killed, leader of the Kinkou, Zed, decides to mold her into the perfect revenge tool and take her under his wing.

She flourishes, proving herself to be a formidable asset and promising member of the Kinkou. However, training her with the rest of Kinkou’s neophytes proved disastrous when another rookie, Kayn, conspires to assault her. Her fighting spirit is brutally tested she’d as she injures her assaulters. Under Shen’s orders, both of them are expelled from the Kinkou in scarred disgrace while Cho-min is transferred to train under him privately.

Four years later, Lee Cho-min has become Ah Ka-ri, an agent doubling as a police corporal working with the violent crimes division. She has close to no leads on who killed her mother but a suspicion that the head of the narcotics division Lee Relia, However, a drug bust gone wrong leads to her transfer there, as a partner to sergeant Tsai Kai’sa, The two get off to a rocky start, with Kai’sa not deigning to hide her doubt in Akali’s abilities, though their differences must be put aside to solve a case involving a new drug out on the streets.

This is just what I have right now, I can’t really put much out without spoiling the show.

tinarose au where hannah accidentally summons tina bc boomer found a book on how to summon demons, was too much of a coward to do it himself, so he dared hannah to. she didn't believe it would work, but much to her surprise, her dumbass brother somehow got his hands on an actual summoning ritual, and tina appears. the issue? none of them know how to de-summon her, so they're stuck trying to figure out how to send her back without alerting to the rest of the world that they have a demon living with them. hannah teaches tina about the human world and what it means to be human and long story short they fall in love the end :)
