F U C K I N G

M O N T H S.

SO MANY VIDEO ESSAYS…

For those who don’t know what tf this is, it’s a custom gem art I ordered online (with artists permission) like the ones u can get at (insert art store name).

This is also 3ft (97cm) long. For reference on how fucking big this thing is there’s is a picture of me holing it up and last I checked I’m roughy 5’4” (pic at bottom so this post ain’t so fucking long)

But yeah I’m absolutely in love with this and still need to slap some mod podge over this behemoth. My next project is a little more reasonable and I’ve already got permission from a new artist to use her work!

(Also little ittle watchers (read in The Click voice))

This original art was done by @skimmeh (LOOK ITS DONE :D)

I hope you don’t mind me asking about your roleswap AU. Anyways, I was curious about Silver. Like what’s his relationship with Shadow? I get that he’s a fanboy since Shadow saved him (read the tags) but beyond that we don’t really know anything about their relationship. Like I read that he asks Shadow for help with his powers and I’m kinda wondering how that goes down.

buddy i am absolutely DELIGHTED to be asked about my au :D but anyway silver. i’m sticking a readmore here because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lotta words. lotta pictures. i went Off.

so i should start by saying some of these posts are Pretty Old and don’t really line up with my current understanding of the au, so take anything more than a year old with a grain of salt. i barely even remember writing some of it.

that being said, yeah silver’s view of shadow is pretty solidly centered on hero worship and thinking he’s the Bees Knees.

at the time of their first meeting shadow isn’t really as cool as silver thinks— he’d unlocked a latent teleportation ability a few months earlier and still doesn’t have anywhere near full control over it.

but to silver, who can sorta bend a spoon if he really tries, this is the COOLEST PERSON EVER and he MUST know his secrets. but shadow doesn’t have any secrets, he’s just Doing His Best and would really like to stop being pestered.

over time i think silver mellows out as he realizes they’re both just kids trying to figure out how their brand new abilities are supposed to work, though the hero worship remains to a degree. shadow is still the Coolest Person Ever, but it’s not because he can teleport! it’s because he’s such a cool hero who saves people! and he’s silver’s cool friend!!!!

...and shadow does kinda appreciate the ego boost. not that he enjoys being the only one to just get up and save the damn world, but he does look pretty cool doing it and it’s about time he gets some respect.

of course, a friendship built on hero worship and ego-boosting isn’t exactly the most stable. sa1 probably involves silver properly working out that actually, he’s Also pretty cool, and there are tons of things he can and should do that shadow most certainly can’t. like tearing open the bars of a jail cell.

which shadow also appreciates.

now taking a brief detour through sonic’s character bc there’s some stuff there which is relevant to silver, in sa2 sonic is kinda. uh. traumatized and lashing out, as one might be coming fresh off a tragic backstory.

i’ve rearranged a few things for him— i’m not 100% on who exactly ivo was to him, but current working idea is he was part of a team of researchers in charge of him. he called him Eggman because when he was teeny tiny baby hedgehog he would sneak him boiled eggs as a Treat. which lead to sonic being a spoiled little brat who would be as inconvenient as hedgehogedly possible until given the Egg.

fast-forward to the ARK incident, eggman tricks sonic into one of the escape pods and launches him down to earth alone. sonic, dazed and confused by the whole situation, interprets it less as “saving his life” and more as “gtfo you little rat”.

compound it with some extra trauma from dealing with GUN and gerald messing with his memories, and he comes to the conclusion that no one is Actually good, they’re just trying to lower your guard and get something from you.

it does not help that this is exactly what tails does.

so with that kind of thought process, it’s no wonder sonic is 100% fine with just throwing a space station at the planet. they deserve it.

now, getting back to silver. obviously he doesn’t agree with like, any of this. obviously people can do wrong, and sometimes they lie and pretend that it’s actually good. but people do real good too! and not just to get something out of it! sometimes it actively makes things worse for them, but they help anyway because they care. because someone has to.

which is what leads to sonic realizing Oh, Yeah, That Wasn’t A Betrayal, He Was Saving Me, I May Have Fucked Up A Little, then he goes and helps save the world et cetera et cetera.

.............and now i dunno if i have a nice elegant way of wrapping this up, this was just me rambling about swap au for a while with visual aids. tl;dr hero-worship turned genuine role model? and shadow mostly thinks he’s a pretty nice guy who could stand to get a few more friends. and sonic has issues.
