They were, all of them, old men. Their background conversation was a litany of complaints about feet, stomachs and backs. They moved slowly. But they had a look about them. It was in their eyes. Their eyes said that, wherever it was, they had been there. Whatever it was, they had done it, sometimes more than once. But they would never, ever, buy the T-shirt. And they did know the meaning of the word 'fear'. It was something that happened to other people.

"You'd be well advised to stay along o' us," said Ghenghiz Cohen. "You'll be safer with us."
"Oh, I'm not sure about that," said Rincewind, grinning horribly. "I'm not sure about that at all."
By myself, he thought, only ordinary horrible things can happen to me.

I now headcanon that Aster is actually Silver's Biological Father. Cause of the psychic powers. Which would make Shadow Silver's Great Grandpa.
Or it could be that Shadow and Sonic are both ancestors of Silver.
Either way, it would be funny if Silver visits adult sonic and sees baby aster and is like "Dad?"
Ahohoho Anon, you are wise to my schemes!
I’ve had people telling me for years that supposedly Silver is a descendent of Shadow and Amy, and even though I don’t believe that’s canon (I don’t know where people have gotten that from. Nobody has ever cited any sources to back that up) I was still open to entertaining that idea.
So that’s why some of the Shadora kids are gray colored and some have telekinetic powers. I wanted to open the door for the possibility of Silver being one of their kids or grandkids.
Kudos to you!

You might not yet be civilized but at least you’re nice and clean, and many people think this is identical.

Some tips for Salmon Run, inspired by my recent deranking after over five losses in a row:
Don’t go off to the other side of the map alone.
If your life isn’t in immediate danger, always prioritize Flyfish, Stingers, and Steelheads. Especially Flyfish. Remember: if fishes fly, teammates die.
Regularly check on your teammates. If they look like they’re getting overwhelmed, take the heat off by covering for them, especially if you’ve got an Anchor or Support class weapon.
SIGNAL. YOUR. TEAMMATES. The “Over Here” button is there for a reason. Use it when you want to show your teammates where a boss is, if the basket moved during low tide, or if you’re down and need reviving.

Multiversal-Ween Day 31: "Socialize"
???, within a well decorated room inside a huge mansion, designed to torment a monster deserving of this fate: When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still...that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight~!
Monster! Belos, after rising from the grave and now currently searching for a seemingly normal Maskra hiding from the mass of blackened ooze: When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake!
Strix the Gold Fanged, after finding him and dragging him to the others: Spooks come out for a swinging wake~!
Branwen the Silver Clawed, right before ripping the Maskra's heart out: Happy haunts materialize and begin to vocalize: Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize!
Afton, within his Springtrap form as he stalked the somehow still alive Maskra: Now don’t close your eyes, and don’t try to hide, For a silly spook may sit by your side~...
Eldritch! J, as it hung overhead and watched the Maskra struggled to find an exit: Shrouded in a daft disguise, they "pretend" to terrorize.
Tricky, being the very first to strike and take the kill: Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize~!
Alice, after strapping the struggling Maskra onto her surgery table with Beau's help: As the moon climbs high o’er the dead oak tree~...
Code Stringer, preparing to use the many tools on the Maskra...Without any anesthetics: Spooks arrive for the midnight spree.
Ghost! Nori: Creepy creeps with eerie eyes start to shriek and harmonize; Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize~!
Sadistic Sam, as he dragged the Maskra into some type of Throne room: When you hear the knell of a requiem bell...
Gray Monitor, who was in the throne room along with someone,very dangerous: Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell~...
Gray Matter, being the one who demanded that he'd kill the Maskra first and prepared to slash him to shreds: Restless bones etherealize, rise as spooks of every size!
Enchantress Pink, while holding the mask the Maskra once wore: If you'd like to join our jamboree, there’s a simple rule that’s compulsory~...
Lightshow Yellow, with a malicious Jackolantern face upon her computer screen face: Mortals pay a token fee; Rest in peace, the haunting’s free~!
Enchantress Pink, as she held the Maskra by the neck as her eyes burned with hatred as she stared into his soul: So hurry back, we would like your company~!
Mr. Black, while looking directly at the camera: Be sure to bring your death certificate…If you decide to join us. Make final arrangements now~! We’ve been "dying" to have you~…
=====
Happy Halloween!!
