A Happy Belated Birthday Silver!!!!!!!
(Would you believe me if I told you, I had this in my drafts for a while now, only as part of a bigger post for all the ā?ā students and decided to rework Silverās bit as a belated Birthday Gift to him??? š )
So Iāve seen plenty of theories on Silverās true identity and the most prevalent theory is that Silver is twisted from the Sword of Truth; the sword that killed Maleficent in the original āSleeping Beautyā
And Iām very confident when I say that I donāt think that theoryās wrong.
I know the theoryās wrong.
Normally, I would NEVER say something as confidently as Iām saying this, so I hope that convinces you to give, what Iām about to say, a try.
So first thingās first; if Silverās not twisted from the Sword of Truth, what is he twisted from?
Well the biggest clue to his identity, sans icon, is the fact that he uses light magic for his Null attacksāmeaning heās not twisted from something villainous
What fueled this theory was actually another Silver theory; and thatās, that heās twisted from Aurora herself.
The evidence provided for this speculation is the fact that he exhibits traits similar to Aurora; attracting animals, purple eyes, and a tendency to fall asleep.
But thatās also wrong.
Because while Aurora does indeed share those traits with Silver, itās not because heās twisted from Auroraārather Silver is twisted from what she has.
In other words: Silver is twisted from the Three Good Fairiesā Gifts.
See:
Auroraās purple eyes were a signifier of her literal enchanted beauty, the Gift of Beauty; Silverās eyes are explicitly called aurora silver, both in the Magical Archives and in-game, referred to as āauroraā, and look purpleāin fact if you look closer youāll notice that his eyes have shades of blue and pink in them. Sound familiar?
Silverās strange, natural affinity for animals, despite not being good at Animal Languages, is a carry over from Faunaās Gift of Song, where Auroraās singing would be so beautiful, animals couldnāt help but be drawn to her. Silver mentions how the animals would always come to him, when he was feeling particularly downtrodden, echoing how Auroraās animal friends comforted her, when she was feeling lonely.
His tendency to fall asleep, which originally led to theories that heās twisted from Maleficentās Curse or the Spindle of the Cursed Spinning Wheel, but thatās already been disproven, by virtue of the detail of his Null Magic above. Moreover, Maleficentās Curse was that Aurora would die; it was Merryweather that altered the curse so that Aurora would fall asleep instead. So ultimately, Silverās sleepiness is a result of Merryweatherās Gift.
What gives this theory even further weight is the fact that very suspiciously, Silver of all Diasomnia students, has a classroom chat where he not only mentions a āprincess from a long time agoā who received magical gifts from Three Fairies, but name-drops all the gifts.
With his Birthday Suit Up, comes further lore, but also the eagerly anticipated pin, which looks like this:

People were quick to point out the fact that the pattern behind the sword on the pin was none other than Auroraās Crown itself. So naturally people doubled down on the Aurora Theory.
But remember.
Auroraās Crown was also a gift.
āThis one last gift, dear child for thee, a symbol of thy royalty; a crown to wear in grace and beauty, as is thy right and royal duty.ā -Flora
And it was a gift from all the Three Good Fairies.
So then, how should I explain all the sword imagery, if Silverās not twisted from the Sword of Truth?
Well itās simple.
The Sword Icon for Silver is an analogue.
Itās supposed to be a physical way to represent the fact that Silverās the Three Gifts, because letās be honest, how are you supposed to visually depict something that abstract without the design getting overly complicated?
The Sword was picked because, it too, once again, was a gift; something from Flora to Prince Philip.
The best way to summarise the fact that Silverās the Three Gifts is by hinting at it with another, more tangible gift.
And that, my fellow TWST Fans, is my evidence on what Silver truly is.
Silverās twisted from the Three Good Fairiesā Gifts.
This is messed up. What the actual hell is wrong with America?
Who knows about Sally Hemings?
She was Thomas Jefferson's slave.
Called his "mistress," but how can you be a mistress when you were a slave, a child, and could not consent? Had absolutely no choice?
She bore him 6, perhaps as many as 8 children. He kept her locked in a basement room.
The room was recently unearthed, and DNA evidence has proven the lineage of Sally's children.
She was beteeen 12 and 14 years old when he started raping her, and Jefferson was in his forties. He freed the children that he had with her, but not Sally. Her daughter had to free her mother after Jefferson passed away.
This is not taught in schools. This side of history. We are supposed to consider the founding fathers as great men, fighting for justice and freedom, guided by God... when they are evil men. Selfish men who did nothing, save that it was for their own aggrandisement, personal benefit, and financial gain.
I would also like to add that Sally was Jefferson's dead wife's half sister. Sally's mother was raped by her owner, who was Martha (wife of Thomas) Jefferson's father.
These people left a legacy.
A legacy of entitlement under the most criminal of circumstances, and White Supremacist beliefs which pervade U.S. Society and Culture, to this very day.
Iām just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got itās 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and itās not just lead! itās coliform bacteria! itās THMs! itās all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising andĀ petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and itās only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem
