A lot to think about, eating McDonald's ketchup instead of a Denny's Grand Slam.

(More VRC shenanigans.)

Something suggested by a friend that I found entertaining, where Silver learns to Rage, or at least look like he's going to.

Another assortment of scribbles (mostly Silver)

Yeah

Silver’s desire for peace (as symbolized by maple leaf 🍁 shape to his quills) seems to be fueled by empathy he has for the world and people in it. Silver’s feelings reflect the environment and those around him as it has been noted that:

The blue sky makes Silver feel at peace

He can’t help but smile when he sees smiling faces and wants to become a hero because it means being someone that can protect smiles

Silver denotes his good futures as happy ones or ones where people have a smile

Silver will drop his mission to help those in need, he simply can’t say no to a sad face as he helps Amy and takes a job as a delivery boy because of this

Natural beauty, flourishing environments or just places where people are prospering and living peacefully take his breath away 

Desolate or destroyed environments sadden and upset him 

He cannot stand the suffering of the people in his bad futures

Remember that hedgehogs can carry stuff in their quills? And what about babies?? Namely baby Silver???

Drew this a while ago for no reason.

Possible Silver/Echidna/Ancient connections

In Sonic Chronicles The Dark Brotherhood there is another tribe of echidnas called the Nocturnus Clan. The Nocturnus Clan was incredibly technologically advanced and nearly conquered the world thousands of years ago before they were trapped in another dimension with powerful alien races by an entity called the Argus.

This game and the stuff in it is considered non-canon now due to legal issues that we are definitely not here to talk about but it was canon when it came out and different echidna tribes are referenced in Sonic Frontiers. The ancient portal technology in that game is also similar to the gear themed technology used by the Nocturnus Clan. So there's hope of Nocturnus or a rewritten version of them still being canon. Silver has many similarities to the Nocturnus clan and their creations.

Silver is visually similar to Imperator Ix, the leader of the Nocturnus Clan (Especially the cuffs which are similar to Silver's)

The patterns on Silver's gloves and cuffs are also similar to the ones in Nocturne and the Cyberspace Portals in Sonic Frontiers.

The convex patterns on Silver's cuffs can be found throughout Nocturne.

Silver's front quills have a similar structure to the head crests of the Gizoids created by the Nocturnus Clan.

The big quills on the back of Silver's head are similar to the tentacles that Chaos and The Ancients have on the back of their heads.

Silver's big quills seem to have blood vessels? He puts bandages on them in Sonic Channel artwork and gets blood stains on them in IDW. Maybe they are tentacles?

Sonic Team has foreshadowed connections with visual similarities before. In Shadow The Hedgehog before you find out that Shadow is part Black Arms you can see throughout the game that the Black Arms have red patterns like Shadow and in Sonic Unleashed before you find out that the Werehog is a portion of Dark Gaia you can see that Dark Gaia monsters have the same stretchy arms and attack patterns as the Werehog.

One of the alien races trapped in Twilight Cage with the Nocturnus Clan in Sonic Chronicles called the Voxai has psychic powers like Silver. They have the psychic ability to fly like Silver and control minds.

One of the leaders of the Voxai named Leucosia has the same colors as Silver's powers and patterns similar to Silver's PK Marks.

The only named place in Silver's (good) future that we've seen is Onyx Island in Sonic Rivals. Onyx Island is actually the future version of Angel Island which is the home of the Knuckles Clan, The Master Emerald and Sky Sanctuary. Sky Sanctuary also has advanced ancient technology and patterns similar to the ones on Silver's gear.

We don't know how connected to Onyx Island Silver is but it is the first place we see him after the reset in 06.

This could just be because of his powers but Silver is very upper body oriented. He never kicks like Sonic and Shadow do. Whenever Silver does get physical he always punches things which makes his fighting style more similar to Knuckles and the echidnas than his fellow hedgehogs.

Cyber Sonic's eyes are similar to the eyes Silver has in concept art.

I saw this fella when looking into the hedgehog cafe in Japan and all I could think of was Silver.

Sonic Frontiers and Nocturnus Connections

⬇ Chaos Map below ⬇

Been thinking about this since reveal, there's a lot of Nocturnus bullshit in Sonic Frontiers, however until plaything the game and sitting down I didn't realize how much there was.

I believe this is possible setup for a possible revival of the Nocturnus Clan into canon, re-written to fit Modern Canon better, and re-written by people on the crew.

As posed on the Chaos Map above, I believe the idea is that while the Knuckles Clan (and possibly other unnamed ones) were inspired by their Architecture built around the Master and Chaos Emeralds. (Knuckles says the Religious and Military stuff was inspired. Possibly because the Ancients' influence also influenced whatever religion the Echidnas had.) But then the Nocturnus were inspired by, or perhaps even stole/took, the technology aspect of the Ancients.

Thoughts (slightly posed on the Chaos Map above):

There was a portal on Angel Island, could the Nocturnus have found their way to Starfall?

Or could the Ancients have brought tech with them that the Nocturnus took and kept from the other tribes?

You would think they would bring tech with them when fleeing and settling on Angel Island right?

That tech would be found by now, unless the Nocturnnus took it all.

In Chronicles, they were in a pocket dimension. (Dragged there by an unknown powerful being named "Argus", they were in the Twilight Cage along with other Alien species.) A Possible rewrite is for them to have been trapped in Cyberspace?

If so, would Sonic have freed them, or would they have been in a separate enough section of Cyberspace?

Is it possible they could have tried to replicate Cyberspace, trapping themselves within it?

Lots of rewrite potential
