#Silver is earnest enough that Knuckles would appreciate his company but he's also strong enough to hold his own

Forcing my two ultimate faves to interact by thinking about how Silver would definitely be interested in biology and the natural sciences because many original ecosystems wouldn't have been able to survive in a world dominated by fire.
In the future he was very interested in history and had to rely on books to learn about anything that came before, but whilst visiting the past he explores and follows field guides in his free time because now he can experience it all for real. Enter Knuckles, who is the most qualified person he knows to teach Silver all about the unique biomes of the world.
At first it just starts out as Silver visiting Angel Island every so often to ask questions and compare notes in his field guide with what Knuckles has seen, which Knuckles enjoys. An excuse to talk about his adventures with a genuinely interested party and they end up bonding really quickly over it. Until Knuckles gets tired of talking about books (and not all of them are correct) so he says fuck it, you can't learn everything from a book and starts taking Silver on forays into the world and shows him everything he dreams to see - ruins reclaimed by nature, entire ecosystems existing on a single type of tree, underwater worlds hidden by algae and sediment.
#I know IDW has established that Silver is really passionate about gardening and I agree I love that#But I haven't read IDW so I'm not pulling concepts from there because I don't like to use it as a main source material#Silver is earnest enough that Knuckles would appreciate his company but he's also strong enough to hold his own#They'd get along so well#Apparently Knuckles and Silver are partners in Forces?#I didn't play that either my friend showed me some of the game and I'm sorry but I think it's complete garbage#Sorry Forces enjoyers I hate it LOL#BUT YEAH MY TWO FAVES KEEP GETTING SHAFTED BY THE COMPANY like y'all know how I feel about Knuckles getting sidelined#2024 is his 30th anniversary and he gets unceremoniously iced by Shadow#And let's not even go there with Silver y'all know how they've ignored him since 06#I gotta do everything myself if I want them to get justice#Cute headcanons are only the beginning#sonic the hedgehog#knuckles the echidna#silver the hedgehog
