Appearance
How can someone look at the Silence and *not* be scarred for life? Their faces look like someone tried to melt their skin off and gave up halfway through because whenever they looked away they’d forget about them. They have the type of face where if you saw one crying in a corner you wouldn’t empathize, you’d want to turn around, run away and forget you ever saw such a thing.
Level of Threat
While we know the Angels can be anywhere, not all angel statues are necessarily Weeping Angels, whereas if you ever see one of these guys you absolutely know you’re f****d. You literally cannot run away from these guys because the second you do you’ll forget what you even had to run for. It’s like going into the kitchen because you wanted something, arriving and then forgetting why you’re there. Only in that case it’s more forgiving because if you forget the mustard you won’t be obliterated to death.
Getting Help
If you see a Weeping Angel you’re not supposed to be blink, which is hard, absolutely. However if you can manage to find someone else to look at them for you for a few minutes/seconds you can go off and find help. With the Silence, the only way to track how many times you saw them (or rather, one of our favorite ways) is to mark yourself with a counting line to let you know how many times you’ve almost been royally screwed. This brings us to the dilemma: If you try running around with marks all over yourself talking about a monster you can’t remember is chasing you, no one is going to help you because they’re going to think you’re CRAZY.
