Josha the Malotologist
A short comic abt Josha and her cute little test subject Malice :] (Dialogue undercut!)
Page 1 -
I am Josha and I am an aspiring Malotologist. I created this new field as I want to study this fascinating parasite, and to teach and show others to not be afraid of it.
I was born a year after the attack occurred, while I wasn't really directly affected by it. In a way, me and other children have to deal with the aftermath of The Calamity.

What fascinated me of this "monster" was how it was possible to corrupt all the technology done by the ancient Sheikah, including the Divine Beasts.
The day I found out that Malice has a form of sentience, I show it to my teacher Purah and Robbie.
However, they seemed far from thrilled.

I would ask simple "yes" or "no" questions and Malice would go to each side to answer.
I would reward it by giving it a small piece of meat, I shouldn't do this as I can see it is gradually growing from it's tank.
But I wanted answers and it seemed like such a rare opportunity to have to speak to one of the sources.

One day, I woke up and headed to my lab and realized that the Malice that I was testing on grew a mouth filled with teeth.
"Do you understand me?"
'Yes...'
"How were you able to grow a mouth?"
'Meat...'
Ah. Guess that's my own fault. I decided to press on

"I have a question, how were you able to corrode and corrupt the Guardians and Divine Beasts?"
'Low...Guard...Pathetic.'
It did not gave me a cohesive answer that I--
‘I…use. Guards…to see…I have eyes
I see every-thing-Hyrule.
I eat to grow, consume.
I have eyes, I see. Everything.'

'[Ex]-cept, forest.
The Light
Sword of Evil's Bane
I must see I don't. Have. Eyes in there...
Help me grow turn me into one...'

I put Malice back into its smaller jar.
I didn't tell anyone about this. For the first time working with this parasite I've felt true genuine fear.
I leave my lab more often than before, I'm afraid that one day it will catch me by surprise.
I wanted to discard of that jar...but it knows. It always knows.

Oops I caught the Tears of the Kingdom bug too. This one's for my sister, who thinks we're just like Josha and Purah. Maybe because Purah looks perpetually tired and worried? In any case, them.

Some LoZ cosplay shots I really enjoyed from my RCCC weekend:
(Please let me know if any of these cosplayers are you, I don't have a huge reach nor do I think many of these people are on tumblr, but I'd love to tag if possible)
A raw photo-of-a-photo i got at the photo booth on day one. Hoping to have the full res in a few weeks.
I found Addison again! Damn, and here I thought I was done helping him with these things in my game XD
Me and a TotK Zelda #1, such lovely work on the folds of that dress!
Me and a TotK Zelda #2- I especially loved this cosplayer's horns
Josha, Beedle, Link, TP Mailman, and Linkle!
Two Links, Bolson, Karson, and a korok!
(Exciting update: Bolson identified- @runningfromthecuccos on tumblr and @idshipthatcosplay on Instagram)
