Day 4 - Confession

Venice is an alternate version where Silver was raised as a supervillain when he was just a little hoglet, Espio is a shy ninja who prides himself on his unwavering honor…………they get along very well

I know Espilver week is half over, but the first theme of absence got me thinking about why I find this ship compelling, and one of the few I would actually be happy to see happen in canon. Specifically, it's loneliness.

Where they came from:

Aside from being an uncalled for and fantastically blunt burn from Blaze that I love, I think it's fun that this is an insight that 06 felt to give us into Silver's character. We wouldn't have known this if she didn't idly wonder it - we definitely didn't know Silver well enough to assume. Love you, Blaze.

BUT my thought is there's a lot of characters in this series for whom a core lesson they are learning is accepting others into their lives. Silver is too, to an extent. But he's also inherently needy, and we are told as much by his closest and only friend. Silver's got a particularly raw deal by literally being satellite to everyone. I'm probably not alone in finding that makes me want to solve his loneliness more.

Espio has not (in my knowledge - being not acquainted with the og comics) been through any major character development that has transformed him, as he is presented as quite a mature (comparatively) character, but in my opinion he also has a core dissonance between being a loner and part of a team. He has a fighting style that lends itself to solo heroism, and yet we always see him in a team, and his personality is what makes it work. I like to interpret this as someone who used to be alone and has been through the journey that Silver needs to find his place in a group. Except Silver can't.

Wheras now:

Pulling out two screenshots that sorta give the vibe I'm looking for, but I think in present they're both actually and actively trying to find and be with companions/ allies. Silver's latest arc shows us he's still someone looking for people to guide and ground him in the past. Espio is the most stable and grounded guy you can imagine in the Sonic cast tbh, and although he's pretty self confident, he's never been ashamed to rely on his trusted friends. If anything, he has trouble trusting outside of his team, although we see him try and put aside his misgivings about others judgements and choices.

There's a lot of characters that have or can have chemistry, but this is one of the few pairings - if not the only pairing - where I actually think being in a relationship develops and furthers both characters growth. Which is very appealing to me.

Also, there's very few characters in canon that I actually think would be happy in a relationship in the current time, at current ages. Not that I think relationships all have to make sense, but narratively speaking, I like it for both of them as well as generally just thinking they're cute. Especially because the tragedy bug bit me, and their setting means they're stuck with the most isolating LDR ever ❤️

That's all, ty for coming to my tedtalk

oKay so i’m a little late to espilver week, but this is here now!

this is a shortened version of a comic idea i had ‘cus i thought it was fitting enough for the theme of confession. i drew this traditionally and started to colour it using markers, but i hated the way the colours looked so i decided to colour it digitally! (i was smart enough to take a picture of the drawing before colouring it) that’s why it’s got random shadows and gets darker at the bottom lol

espio’s coloured all weird ‘cus i tried to give him more chameleony colours while still being his signature purple, and the reason his horn is so small is because i headcanon him as trans and only recently starting on T, so his horn is only starting to grow in :]

also here’s a bonus sketch of a way i considered the comic going but ultimately decided espio would be too nervous to do it lmao <3

#i didn’t know how to end it n am kinda embarrassed about it gjrnvjejvjs #i’m really nervous posting this idk why it’s just like… #i’ve never made a shippy comic before and also this is like way outta my usual style #espilver week 2023 #espilver #silvespio #espio the chameleon #silver the hedgehog #pacifistcowboyart

Day 3 - Camp

The Chaotix have a camp every few months and it's always, well, total chaos XD

Vector likes to exaggerate with his horror stories and Espio has to deal with his bf being completely paranoid bc he heard some weird noise in the bushes

For todays Espilver week theme (Charm) I realised while brainstorming:

This is the most gameless ship I have in my arsenal. Literally neither of these characters have any 'charm' when it comes to flirting imo. It's like multiplying two negative numbers to get a positive - the absolute absence of rizz somehow magnetised them.

#espilver week 2023 #this may sound cruel but i think it is truly endearing #nothing more attractive than failing at flirting together #espio the chameleon #silver the hedgehog #espilver #espilverweek2023
