I think silver being the son ships like shadouge or shadamy is just predictable writing and it makes silvers backstory less interesting.
Look, I’m not ship shaming, but it’s starting to get way too predictable, let me explain, I’ve been noticing for a while now that when someone brings up silver’s backstory, we make assumptions, hypotheses, until someone brings up their head-cannon, by then the usual assumption is that silver is shadow and whoever’s son, sound familiar? It’s literally vegeta and trunks it ends up becoming vegeta and trunks, shadrouge, shadamy or whatever ship, mostly shadrouge. Predictable. People are going to see that a mile away. Can’t silvers origin be something niche, and this is my head cannon but what if silver was an experiment or experimented on to become Sonic’s replacement or some super weapon like shadow containing both of their dna? Idfk but yeah.
