Hello to all my lovelies👋🏽! I have a new listing up! For those that are as obsessed with the blue blur as I am, I now have bracelets inspired after the characters! I’ll have new designs up soon when I can get to them. Please share my link around in any way you can! I so appreciate all the support!💕
So I've been thinking about silver and his semi-frequent jumps to to the past. And I wonder.
How much time is there between one jump and the other? Not for the people in the present, but for Silver. Maybe in the past, the cast sees him once every few weeks. As they grow up, the visits get less and less frequent. They've been fixing the future together, and things are getting better back when Silver is from.
But what if for Silver, all these visits happen within a much shorter time span? Maybe every single jump backwards he makes is condensed in a few very hectic weeks as far as his rightful place in the future is concerned. Because he's in his "prime", and the universe needs him as strong as he can be.
So the people he loves grow, and he doesn't. He sees them suddenly get much taller. He sees their behavior changing. Between one jump and the other, all of a sudden there are grey streaks in Sonic's fur. Knuckles doesn't punch as hard as he used to. There's kids. Kids Silver has never seen before. It's like they appeared out of nowhere.
And amid all these changes, he's still just Silver, fifteen year old from the future. And he's watching snapshots of his friends' lives as they go by.
I mean, can you imagine? At some point he jumps back again, and he's ready to fight, ready for whatever the past is about to throw at him, but then he finds out there's no emergency. No worldwide crisis. Except that one of his friends is dying. Because they're old. Because it's time. And that's when Silver gets it-- this isn't a mission, but his first farewell.
