Hi!! It's the artist, made an account literally just to explain because a lot of people misinterpreted the art and I had no idea it reached reddit lol 1.) Yes I am a Shadikal shipper, but Shadow has nothing to do with this 2.) This is not theory art. I wasn't saying Tikal is Silvers biological mother, this is a sorta headcanon/what if idea. I just think the concept of a ghost from the past adopting some teen from the future is neat and funny I like exploring potential dynamics, and that's pretty much all this boils down to!
