I know you’re all fucking deceased at this point and probably have no idea what to believe but I’m just gonna say it because I know a lot of people are feeling the same
Even if they brought Thomas back it doesnt make it ok for them to just make silverflint platonic. Not after 4 seasons of relationship development and build up, not to mention the amount of paralells we’ve been given with them and other canon romantic couples. Toby saying that Silver is the love of Flint’s life without them being canon and flinthamilton being endgame just doesn’t add up
The only way I can see any of this making sense would be if they were to make Silver and Flint’s feelings for each other canon, and the tragedy of it all in the end being James choosing Thomas and John choosing Madi
“It is some kind of hell to be forced to choose one irreplaceable thing over another”
I definitely agree that using possibly!living!Thomas to invalidate the Silverflint would be a shite move. But I think at this point Silverflint IS canon. Does Silver have sexual feelings for Flint? We don’t know, we don’t know if he’s wired that way. Does he LOVE Flint? TOO-FUCKING-RIGHT he does.Their feelings for each other are absolutely canon.
Now, I want to see Silver pound that freckled ginger ass into the bed as much as the next gal, plus like, queer representation and shit, but if we say that Silver – who is looking at his partner and first/only friend, and basically saying “I want to save you from this war by giving you the thing you love most in this world” – does not, purely and irrevocably love Flint simply because he may or may not want to smooch the man is really selling such a wonderfully written character short.
Maybe we need to stop thinking “platonic” and start thinking “agape”?
Agape works and I said pretty much the same yesterday about Silver saving Flint from war and giving him his lost love back. To me silverflint is canon,has been for a very long time because it doesn’t matter if any kissing happens onscreen-the deep connection they share,the relationship they have built,the love…it’s all real and there. Tho I do think Flint IS in love with Silver, but expects nothing but friendship in return and he is fine with that.
