Malachi is hard to draw...my design for him may change who knows.

We all agreee Malachi has horrific abandonment issues right?? right???

Like there's no way in hell he didn't experience horrible anxiety/depression when Laurance (HIS FUCKING DAD) dissapeared AGAIN...into HELL mind you...

Abandoned by his birth parents. Left behind by his adoptive parents for 15 years. Then his dad dissapears into the nether for years with no hope of seeing him again.

AND YET, I think he still speaks rather highly about Laurance. When his sisters ask about their dad whom they have never met, Malachi remembers the kind hearted and charismatic man who he met in the moving castle. The man who stayed with him when he felt utterly alone in the world. In the 15 years his parents were missing, he held onto Laurance's scarf, secretly hoping that he would return. And he still holds on to it with the hope that one day Laurance will return from The Nether.

Laurance left his sword behind for Malachi, but he chose to save it for Joey because, 1) he has no practical use for it since he doesn't really fight, and 2) Joey doesn't have anything to remember her father by so Malachi decides it will he her sword, not his.

instead, it’s only after she absorbs the relic in the irene dimension that she gets them, and that ends up helping contribute to the identity crisis she starts having throughout s2 over her connection to irene and the relic
