I keep getting pwned these days by random facts (headcanons) I made in the past so here they are (they are literally all about hugs)

-It was Hitan's idea for the gang to hug Silence so she could get more used to human contact. This is primarily funny because of the tiny Gold Saints being like "what is a hug" and so he had to teach everyone, except for Galaxian because he somehow already knew what a hug was
-No one straight-up refused to do it, but some (like Shura) did it once when Hitan was watching, and then Never Again, and Silence was fine with it because she isn't particularly into hugging porcupines
-Hitan's naturally really cold so he's not much fun to hug, especially for Silence since she doesn't like touching cold things. But she learnt to bear with it because she secretly appreciated all his efforts. So now she's ok with hugging cold people too, though obviously she still prefers when people feel like people. She's kinda cold to the touch too though ('cause blood circulation or whatever, idk if she has blood I forgor), and also she likes cold food so lol. She's funny.
-Galaxian would make himself really hot on purpose (through temperature manipulation) and if I may, I think she likes hugging him the most in the gang. Though the entire time you hug him he'll just have a look on his face like he's about to rob you ( ":3" ) which is slightly off-putting, but tbh Silence got used to it so she doesn't see anything wrong. She's used to his lil bastard expressions/antics

I feel like that headcanon needs some better established chronology to make sense since it's all in my head and I didn't describe it, so basically--
-When she first joined Galaxian's gang, she started off pretty much just not eating anything, because of all the underlying issues/trauma/her backstory in general. At this time, the gang was pretty much all fight-focused because the Gold Saints were kinda just trained to be like that, so Shura wasn't that big on cooking either.
-Galaxian and Hitan noticed that she didn't eat (mostly Hitan because Galaxian doesn't notice anything). It took longer than it probably should've because none of the gang at the time needed to eat otherwise. Like they could do it (Galaxian would sometimes do it because he loves food and is generally a menace and these things connect together), but they didn't need to. So they only eventually connected the dots on why she didn't look so good.  
-The above led to Hitan trying to make eating more of a habit for pretty much everyone so that Silence wouldn't just have to start a habit by herself when she was already against it to begin with. So Shura started getting back into his hobby of cooking again, which developed into the other things I mentioned in the above post.
-Hitan is pretty good at this stuff btw, but Silence was really hard to persuade through all this, probably because of the habit of not eating just being ingrained in her psyche on various levels. He tried introducing her to different flavors (noticing that she liked sweetness in particular, not that it was particularly surprising to him), and so he eventually deemed it worth it to "bribe" her by helping her eat while introducing a sweet incentive to go with the habit. But he did this only occasionally, which led to her sometimes advocating for dessert as mentioned above. The funny thing is that forum!Hitan was pretty responsible while I imagine she kinda acted like a kid sometimes to get her way on stuff like this. I can imagine her being the Negotiator just to try to get him to add dessert on the daily menu

He doesn't exist anywhere except for a personal writing world/he got retconned from Forums! Timeline

I imagine her picking him up and carrying him around to steal the warmth

More headcanons

-Silence was able to learn the basics of cooking from Shura. They got along the best when they were in the kitchen, probably because when he hyperfocuses on a task he is less abrasive to be around lol (plus it wasn't like the two of them always tried to start fights, it's just that they're like flint and steel). He didn't really teach her, but she learned from watching. Plus he didn't shoo her out of the kitchen, so that's good. They mostly split tasks and didn't really talk, but it was still bonding time for all it was worth 
-The reason why she wasn't better from all that time is because of his unconventional methods (Excalibur in the kitchen), and because Hitan sometimes came around and dragged her out. He was afraid of her getting hurt (and honestly it was a fair concern, Shura and Understanding Boundaries do not go hand-in-hand)
-Literally no one else seemed very into sweets, so Silence was the one who had to advocate for dessert, and it was kinda embarrassing for her. And then since no one was really into it, she had to learn to make it herself. So she spent solo time in the kitchen learning how to bake and make pastries and stuff, only for the current gang to kinda just steal half the food. Feels bad man
-> She likes brownies, and adding fruits to things. She doesn't eat much but she genuinely likes fruit
-> Adding onto all this, ik that she doesn't eat much because of her sickness, but simultaneously because she likes sweet things, she'll substitute them for "real food". It's another thing that doesn't really make sense logically but is just how she seems to do things? Not like she can eat much, but idk, I'm not as knowledgeable on the particulars of how much she eats and stuff as you are.
Part of the reason why she does the substitute is because of the bribery Hitan would do in the past (she was so stubborn on not eating 'cause of underlying issues that he legit had no other option), so now she at least associates sweetness with good things. I can't imagine she ate many sweets as a kid since she was sick and her family's situation wasn't the best, so it's very much a recent development and work-in-progress

This is interesting to me and I'm going to add on that she knew the basics of cooking before the Forums due to her whole thing with her Fiancé, however due to the war and both of them struggling with medical-related issues, the food would be bland and very very simple. She could make really good tea tho (she is #1 tea drinker)


So I like to imagine she got a lot better at cooking post-Forums tho and cooking with the gang hehe

Also YES she def would replace real food with sweets. It's so. Her. To do so XD

I can't remember the specifics, but I do remember that Ambihumave (The fantasy species Silence is) have an altered sense of taste, so I wonder if that also might be why she likes sweets so much (it was also make sense considering Atlas, who is descended from Ambihumave, really enjoys chocolate)

Gonna wrestle you now. Give Echo and North their nii-san back

 
Sorry 😔 but at least he exists in an alternate reality

Since the species is very based off of birds, lowkey headcanoning that they can't taste/feel capsaicin. So Silence is immune to spices

Iirc another old headcanon is that specifically a lot of the traditional Ambihumave cuisine had severely bitter and sour tastes that are hard for other fantasy races to digest, so maybe the sweetness was just really different to her and she really enjoyed it due to that difference

I feel like at first she didn't eat a lot due to the sickness (a mix of having a weak stomach and having to readjust to a different type of food) and also obviously her whole. Mental issues RIP. But I feel like overtime as she got healthier (since she canonically Does get healthier) she would be able to eat more (obviously not as much as the average person, or as much as Echo and North, but still a lot more compared to at first)


Her favorite fruit is def strawberries so I wonder how many things she would try mixing strawberries into (the answer is. A Lot.). I think her second favorite fruit would be coconut. And it makes her SOOOO mad that they're so hard to open because she has weak arms (insert her throwing knives at them until the coconut is in a hundred pieces)


She def didn't eat a lot of sweets as a kid since her time was mainly spent living in a hospital. Also her family was really well off up until later in the war, which she and Crescendo ended up not doing well financially due to the lack of family and also Crescendo struggling to find work due to his wing defects and general lack of jobs open

I do imagine that she was getting healthier living with Crescendo (and at that point she didn't need hospital treatment anymore), but the mix of grief due to family dying and Crescendo's disappearance, and being sent to the Forums (with her body being all messed up from that) def made her health decline/pitfall severely. And then there's all the mental issues (like her depressive psychosis) that would really make her not want to eat or make her forget to eat


Or something idk

Iirc Echo definitely had memory loss/amnesia from the transfer over to a different world, idk about Silence tho because. Ironically I have a bad memory XD but hmmmm your idea is interesting. She still would have memories of Crescendo at that point too because they met and grew up together in the hospital 😭 so it would be interesting if she remembered that but not the fact they got engaged and lived together waaaa


Dang you got me there 😔 I'll have to rewrite him then, his name will definitely change tho. I can't remember his name in the personal writings atm tho (although in that universe they are given more "human" names, so it probably doesn't matter). In that universe he was a professor who helped the rebellion, but basically got caught and was tortured for information. He wasn't killed but he was left mentally incapitated/unable to take care of himself due to the trauma, as well as having to use a wheelchair/mobility aids. He also has a kid in that universe named Marigold (who is basically somewhat an AU/Ambihumavis version of Mikhail/Adrik) who wants to be a professor like his father was and really looks up to him even after the war had ended TwT I would have to find a way to translate this into the Forum World tho since the politics/world building is a lot more different than the Forums version

XD (fire intensifies)

Crescendo appreciation When


I'm sorry but he might be renamed to "Requiem" because it lowkey goes hard 😔

Waaaaa time to think of another name then
