sorry i know i cant stop people from having their headcanons or aus or whatever but i find it kinda silly when people present the idea of silver being shadows son as if its an actual plausible theory.... because all the "evidence" for it is very minor stuff thats easily explained away . and then theres also the fact that in the 06 timeline shadow was put back into stasis shortly after iblis destroyed the world because humanity was looking for someone to blame for it. and silver also says that iblis has been around since before he was born. im aware that the future is always changing so a future where an adult shadow is around to interact with a tiny little baby silver isnt entirely out of the question but wouldnt this plot detail make shadow being silvers biological father very unlikely if not outright impossible??

#also the evidence is always stuff like ''they both have chest fur and arms that match the rest of their body'' #okay. well sonic and amy both have green eyes and arms that match their muzzle color. and im pretty sure thyere not related #''theyre lancelot and galahad in sonic and the black knight'' its funny how people use this as evdience that shadow and silver are related #but nobody every acknowledges that nimue the character amy plays (who is actually relevant and appears in the story mode unlike galahad) #is lancelots mom in the original stories or tries to use that as evidence that amy and shadow are related ... #and yes i know that that would make zero sense from a timeline perspective bc amy is younger than shadow #among other reasons and this relationship isnt implied at all either in satbk or outside of satbk #im not trying to argue that theyre related. just pointing out that satbk isnt exactly an authority on main timeline family relationships #satbk is literlaly just the characters playing dressup not every aspect of the lives of the characters from the original stories #are meant to apply to the sonic characters that were used to portray them in satbk #also to be clear im specifically talking about the idea of shadow being silvers dad in the future #not the present version of shadow who is still a teenager barely older than silver being a father figure to him. #i actively hate that second option its so weird and would be a different conversation entirely

I believe that IF Silver IS a descendent of Sonic/Shadow/Amy/anyone else, he's a descendent via adoption because the only Sonic character that I accept having kids is Vanilla.

honestly part of the reason im not a fan of the ideas of silver being a descendant of other characters we already know is because i just dont see why its necessary for them to be related ..? idk i just dont think anything that could be gained from him being shadows kid or sonics descendant or whatever is worth losing part of whats already compelling about silver and also making things super confusing. plus none of the pairings of already existing characters people have suggested as silvers bio parents make any sense, usually because its impossible from a timeline perspective but also because theyre always picking characters who would NOT have kids either in general or with the specific people theyre being paired with

#i also just kinda have a hard time imagining most sonic characters who arent already parents (so. most of them) wanting to be parents #it just does not feel right to me #i guess part of it could be an age thing . being a parent is an Adult thing and most sonic characters are not adults #so imagining them doings things that only adults do by in universe standards just feels strange and foreign to me #even though these scenarios would obviously take place a couple decades into the future #but also even when specifically thinking about it through the lens of ''would this character want to be a parent when theyre older'' #the answer is usually no or idk #because there are a lot of characters where it just doesnt feel like it fits them? #sonic and rouge are a couple characters i can name off the top of my head who i know for sure would not have kids. #shadow im not so sure about either. yet he is the most common choice for silvers bio parent. pain #thing about shadow and silver is i think a timeline where shadow is actually around to meet little silver and is like #a mentor/older brother/guardian figure of sorts does kinda have potential to be interesting but i dont really want that to be made canon #but shadow straight up being his dad? idk man. not really into that. shadow being his biological dad? ABSOLUTELY not into that . #people having the present version of shadow whos a teenager barely older than silver being a dad to him?? weird as hell. no #asks #also part of what bugs me about the shadow as silvers dad stuff is people pretending its anything more than a baseless headcanon #like im not saying all headcanons have to have proof behind them but people act like the shadow as silvers dad thing #is an actual plausible theory that could be true and has tons of evidence? when it really doesnt ?? #i feel the need to specify that im not trying to police what people do or aynthing just sharing my opinions
