Set up a bluesky if anyone wants to come follow me over here for when this one inevitably falls into chaos. I'll probably fully move over there if it does ✌️
People will never understand the whimsy of a character who is absolutely willing to throw hands (and I quote says 'i'll show you how crazy I am') with Knuckles after he gets called crazy but is also a dorky idiot who gets distracted by chao
Shadow's had quite the journey since his creation on the ARK. Need a quick refresher? Check out Something About Shadow the Hedgehog by

Watch now:
Something i forgot to mention in my Silver thread is the fact its frankly overlooked how much of a tactian Silver is.
Its noticable how often Silver is the one coming up with plans. In 06, despite not knowing Sonic well he picks up (with his perceptiveness!) that Sonic is after
I cant tell if Silver would absolutely thrive in the cold (he's built like a cold-climate animal. light fur, small ears, fluffy) or would he suffer profoundly from growing up in a firescape for 14 years of his life lol
The pair are linked to the Japanese festival of Tanabata; a festival of two lovers seperated across the galaxy reuniting upon clear skies. Like Orihime and Hikoboshi the pair are seperated by distance but always find a way to find one another again 🎋

Where are Blaze and Silver going? You decide! PNG below (Keep it SFW)
The edit that makes me laugh the most gets a sketch
After the events of 06 and Blaze's sacrifice, despite the fact the timeline reset and made it so Silver (and potentially Blaze) do not remember meeting, fate has it that they will continue to have deja vu of meeting. Their friendship is woven into the fabric of time and space.
@PsionTimestone
Blaze and Silver are lying on a couch in the library and they're about to kiss eachother, and then Gardon coughs and Blaze jumps off of Silver in embarrassment. He's been there the entire time they have and they just forgot.
1. Their connection that transcends both time and space.
Not even 200 years or an entire dimension can keep these two apart! Despite their distance, they always find themelves meeting in the present of Sonic's world and greet each other warmly when they do.

So despite their inital hostility, because of the aforementioned deja vu of working together they quickly fall into their stride together and work in perfect sync. They are strong alone but their powers and might combine into something greater than the sum of its parts.
her. Silver is one of the few people to make Blaze burst into genuine guffaws.
Even as she leaves Silver, she admits how endeared she is to him and offers him a genuine smile.
In turn Silver is amazed by her resistence and fortitude which inspires him to be better.
2. They are strong alone but stronger together.
Both Sonic Colours DS and Isekai Origiri have Silver and Blaze meet with inital grouchiness and somewhat hostility; this is due to Sonic Rush (and Sonic Rivals) building SIlver and Blaze up as stubborn characters who work alone.
Due to their upbringing's and their powers they are both stubborn as mules and feel like they have to handle things alone without friends. Espio and Cream help them to realise they don't have to handle things alone.
Their similarities are actually highlighted in '06/rush.
(TSR Translation Video link: )
Silver has many mannerisms that can be considered Rude. From sitting cross-legged to using the very informal 'ore' to describe himself in Japanese. Due to his headstrong personality he can come across as aggressive
1. His complex and intriguing personality.
Silver, in many games, is considered an engima and this extends to even his personality.
He can be described as having contrasting personality traits. He acts mature, possibly due to his upbringing forcing him to. Yet he is noted
So was anyone gonna tell me Blaze and Creams meeting in rush parallels Silver and Amys from 06 or was I supposed to find that out on my own by playing rush 😆?
Since its been two weeks and I'm pretty sure hes leaving later, here is ESP Silver's dialouge. 🧵
I love the little tidbits he gives after completing missions. They add so much character and its great
3. They bring out the best in one another.
When Silver struggles with the strength of his feelings and takes things too head on, Blaze acts as a calming presence to help him rationalise his thoughts.
Silver helps blaze to warm up with his earnest nature; his naivety endearing
Silver is also humble, not seeing himself as a hero but instead someone who doesn' want to mess up history too much. He is happy to play the hero if it puts smiles on peoples faces!
He has a strong sense of will and hope; refusing to give in even in the bleakest hours!
Smiles of others are important to both of them. Blaze's motto is 'my power is to protect the smiles of my people' while Silver in his cover story in 2021 exclaims that '[He's] not a hero, but if a hero is someone who puts smiles on people's face's then [he] wants to be one'
So on the podium Racesuit Silver has Rouge's animations, right?
You just end up with this hillaiously cursed idle animation where Silver flies with his back quills 😆
that Silver has a childish side. He lacks emotional maturity which makes him prone to being rash and reckless: narrow minded. Its this emotional immaturity and inexperince that makes him prone to emotional manipulation. See Mephiles in 06
Despite this, Silver is known to be
Blaze has a fire in her soul that she was forced to contain due to circumstance (her royalty; the fears over over powers).
Silver has a fire in his soul he was never taught how to contain so it often blazes out of control
Blaze's fire needs Silver's to ignite it to life.
