Oh, totally. I’ve had this exact thought before

Bentley/Penelope isn’t the only ship that gets scuttled. Sly/Carmelita is more unstable than ever. The steady relationship which began in Sly 3 is immediately ripped up when the tutorial makes a point of introducing Carmelita as “the Ex-Girlfriend”. Two interesting characters remaining interesting within the bounds of a healthy romantic relationship is hard to write totally lame, lol!!!

Oh hey! You’re the one who drew that great two-panel comic comparing Sly lecturing Tsao about Respecting Women to how he and Bentley force Carmelita into degrading herself. I love that, it so concisely and sharply shows how drastic the change is

I’d say that after almost six years, opinion has shifted. I’m honestly glad I wasn’t active in the fandom in 2013, because the earliest arguments are always the most vicious. Fans are often resistant to admitting the flaws of a hyped-up release (coughPhantomMenacecough). Nowadays, Sly 4 is still kind of an open wound, with people loving it or hating it or falling somewhere in between. 

But when I set up shop here and began complaining, no-one attacked me on a personal level. There was a few months of posts going up like “I wish people wouldn’t be so critical of Thieves in Time :///”, and considering the size of the fandom, I am 100% sure I’m the ‘people’ that caused those posts. And the idea I was treading on someone’s favourite game didn’t feel nice, but it wasn’t a direct confrontation. More defensive than offensive. 

And every time I criticize this game for its sexism, I get a chorus of agreement. 

Again, that ties in to what I’ve been saying lately about not wanting to leave Tumblr! Here I can say the basic, inarguable, true fact “Sly 4 does not treat its female characters well”, and responses range from “yes!!!!!!!!!!!” to “Well, that’s true, but…” There’s a basic level of agreement that, like, the bellydance scene and the Penelope twist etc were bad ideas

Not gonna lie…..I might buy a Switch for the sole purpose of playing this game! That is how nostalgic I am for it....

I’d like to add that it’s really sad that Tumblr users are so intolerant that merely being “Christian and pro-life” is viewed as a blacklist worthy accusation.

ah see i THOUGHT it was a bit suspicious that the "evidence" of them liking sdmi was very brief and unsourced AND from third or fourth parties

Hello there~! I shall provide a few methods you can go about contributing your artwork to the amazing Slayers community. c:

1. You can upload the image as a photo post and add your own artist comment if you’d like. After that, tag it with “Slayers” and other related tags and hopefully they show up in the tag searches themselves! I’ve read it’s the first 5 tags that are publicly placed into the assigned tag searches ( like how searching “lina inverse” will lead you to posts tagged with #lina inverse ).

2. Post it on deviantart, or share a fan art you previously posted by going to the deviation and selecting the tumblr symbol in the share options. Do the same with the tagging as you would with choice #1. :D

3. If you want to submit to Slayers fan blogs directly, you can look for their submit boxes if they have any and upload/send the picture to them. However, if the blogs you want to submit to, or have share your fan art don’t have a submit box, you can simply ask them to look for your art piece through the ask box. Links don’t work too well in asks, but you can share your deviantart user or have them look through your blog for specific titles you gave your art piece.

Hope this helps! Have a great time. :3

LOL. I’m tempted to draw your idea about Fred’s chin eventually replacing the Mystery Machine.

fred's chin never stops

eventually no ghosts and monsters even try running because fred can knock them out with his chin at fifty feet

locked in a room? fred breaks down the door with his chin

escape blocked by a high wall? fred grabs everyone and vaults up and over to safety with his chin

having a bbq? fred puts the plates of food on his chin to swing around and pass out to the gang without ever having to leave the grill

daphne forgot her eyeliner? fred'll just reach back to coolsville to fetch it in the fold of his chin no problem

need an extra gang member to confuse the crooks? put a little makeup and one of shaggy's spare shirts on fred's chin
