Ok so saw your post about chasm curse of kaine and yeah you’re probably right about kaine not being able to fix him. Honestly I’m just hoping they have a bit where kaine does the classic “ONLY I GET TO CALL HIM THAT” or “He’s my idiot” because honestly, we’re overdue for that moment between them.
God, hes so very "thats my favorite idiot and only i get to kill him" with Ben already. I don't think he'd care what anyone says to him, but no way hes letting him be seriously threatened. He already had a "saving my idiot brother" moment with superior and died trying to avenge Ben at least once, so we know hes just like that.
I do think he fully considers Ben his responsibility.

[ID: reply from @fade-into-dawn saying “Are Keir and Malcolm close?”]
in some ways! they’re very alike, people endlessly said so, and keir always tried to be very like him. he was a good kid, all ser yes ser! he thought the world of his father and his father thought the world of him. but malcolm didn’t say that
keir’s malcolm’s not verbally expressive and he’s not even physically affectionate the way keir is. (you get sort of, like, pats on the back and a firm hand on the shoulder and an arm around his wife, but not a hugger or a hand holder. when keir wordlessly kisses a friend on the cheek as a casual greeting or crushes them into an embrace when he hasn’t seen them in a while, that’s not malcolm at all.) malcolm bottles all that up, circle trauma being what it can sometimes be, making him in some ways more of a true red hawke than keir, who gets significantly bluer talking to people he loves. malcolm didn’t like getting emotional or vulnerable ever, and he didn’t really approve when keir did, even as a kid; he expected him to learn to brush those things off and keep getting up again, because in malcolm’s head he would be exposing himself to danger if he didn’t
it’s hard to exactly call yourself close with someone like that, who doesn’t express affection in more than approving nods and high expectations. especially when they’re a strict authority figure that you put on a massive pedestal, whose approval you want so badly, and who quickly has this idea of you taking up his role of being strong for the family. malcolm liked when keir was tough and independent and handled things himself without coming crying to anyone, because that’s who he thought keir needed to be. so not the kind of closeness where you can share your worries and be comforted

@mr-prism
I want to say he'd be really boring (as I drew him back in February of 2019 or something around then while dying at the beach) like so? But! I have a feeling he'd also be very okay with various additions?? like I would have given him a very boring coconut dagger attack because he's just too done in by the heat to want to do much else.
However, there's also the fun route of him just being very okay with heat despite not being used to it because he can simply regular his own temp due to ice. So that could lead to him having a mage build where he's just happy to not be working at running a kingdom and it's like... him making fun ice magic at the beach to represent either his siblings and Nifl or something? Or giving him a big hat like Nifl has would be fun, too.
I don't honestly know what I like more,,, him dying to the heat or being absolutely thrilled the heat doesn't actually bother him much. (in 2019 he was very much dying though)

Hate it when a piece of media is centered around a specific Ethical Debate and not one of the characters has or even brings up your position
You have a very specific opinion on this argument, you don't side with any of these people, and the writers seem to be completely overlooking the obvious answer

it was really funny when mean girls 2024 came out and all the broadway fans were having a fit over how much "worse" the music is but whenever theyd play a stage musical clip for contrast it would still be some of the worst shit youve ever heard
