so i'm not really gonna get to properly use/talk about this stuff in any actual material but know that [for askblog purposes] these two have a fucked up insane sibling dynamic that i am thinking about all the time
by which i mean it's mostly just metal minding his own business and mecha giving himself like 500,000,000 problems about it. its like this
...the post-mortem, for comparison
and also the canon-compliant version of the dynamic [for proper comic purposes] where they wouldn't have met until post-scrapnik
Dadow is so fun in both interpretations of how Shadow acquires Silver
You have
Surprise Adoption, Shadow found Silver in some rubble and now has to deal with an entire kid
Or
Biologically Silver is his which is. A whole thing. Because it makes Silver part Black Arms, he does in fact get some alien dna in there and I think that’s fun
Like
Yeah Sonic fuck you now TWO Black Arm Hedgehog hybrids have tried to to kill you
every day i think about how there's alternative dimensions where the boom universe uses one of these designs and we don't live in that dimension and i cry a little
