Tagged by @rivalhughs !!!

Most hits: The Town of Anywhere, with 3493 hits!!! I’m surprised it has that many, honestly. I always thought of it as kind of a niche thing but ig people read it? (Also, I swear I haven’t abandoned it!!! The next chapter is in the works and I’ll get around to it eventually)

Second most kudos: A Burning Question, with 184 kudos! My Encanto/Disney Hercules crack crossover one-shot that I wrote in one sitting while heavily caffeinated one night.

Third most comments: Ties of Blood and Water, with 57 comments! My offering to the Hetalia fandom that I’m also surprised got as much attention as it did (also my personal favorite to reread……ngl I kinda cooked with this one)

Fourth most bookmarks: Falling, with 27 bookmarks! Another one of my one-shots, this time a ship one with AE-3803/U-1146 from Cells At Work! I’ve noticed that this fic got a resurgence in popularity recently, possibly because of the Cells At Work fandom becoming active again? (Speaking of, I really hope the live action movie comes to the U.S. eventually bc I wanna watch it so bad)

Fifth most words: Tales from the Labyrinth, with 19,336 words! A one-shot collection based in the world of my other fic Unto the Labyrinth — and a world thats canon status has been absolutely decimated by the release of Sunrise On The Reaping! Yay for me! /s

Least words: Midnight Snack, with only 228 words! A little Legend of Korra one-shot fic I wrote for a challenge.

I tag @toxic-luck, @elephant-in-the-pride-parade, @chibidashie, and @yumiribbon, as well as whoever else wants to do this!

Summary: “On the east coast of the US, there is a small town called Anywhere, where some of our favorite fictional characters keep washing up on the beach, often injured, with no memory of where they came from and who they are, the only clues to their past identities being the clothes they washed up in, their own names, and the strange feelings and dreams they occasionally have. Soon enough, they settle into their new life, but the questions still remain: who were they? And why are they here?”

BRO IT'S A STUPID SHOW ABOUT GODDAMN CELLS WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO SAD!??

THE WAY I GOT SO ATTACHED TO FUCKIN LACTIC ACID BACTERIA???

this show is so damn sad and emotional for no reason, like they're just doing their jobs 😭 also that blond killer T cell (i will not forget the image of him in that dress) and neutrophil guy lowkey kinda fine ✋😔

but i feel kinda bad for the cancer cell. Whoever created this was definitely smoking this bcz what the fuck kinda thought process do you need to go "oh! lets give fuckin CANCER a sad backstory and slightly twisted yet good intentions" whyyyyy.

and the poor lil platelets, they're so cute when they're working so hard! the fact they get bribed by medals tho is kinda funny.

and that scene where the tree guy (forgot his name) ended up all disco just to fight off the flu. i kinda wished the neutrophill got a cooler upgrade.

it's also really funny that the red blood cell girl was like "oh he's so kind, such a sweetheart really" and then this dude is legit screaming and covered in a bacterias blood "DIE! DIE! DIE! KILL! KILL!" 💀

U-1146 x RBC!Reader

Summary: am I on cracc? U’ll never know. You were saved by a white blood cell when a germ targeted you and something happens

What kind of cell you are: Red Blood Cell

Warnings/Genre: fluff? Idk, this is a short thing I whipped up randomly cuz WBC is hawt

WC: 439

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“That one, over there” the streptococcus whispered to the other, pointing at you. You carried some oxygen that you had to deliver, taking a mostly unused route as a shortcut. You really wanted to finish early so you could have some glucose. You pushed the cart, ducking under some of the scaffolding as the place was being reconstructed. 

“Yeah, let’s go fer her and dust up the place so no one will see” they snickered mischievously at their plan

You got to your destination, ringing the doorbell. A cell appeared before you, stamp in hand as you gave it a pen for its signature, “here you go! Your oxygen for the day, please sign here”. The cell signed it, thanking you as he took the box inside. 

You walked back down the path as the site became dusty. You coughed and swatted some of it from your face. Two tall figures loomed over you as you called out, “hi? Are you one of the white blood cells patrolling?" You tried to get a look at who it was but you only caught the sight of a bright color. Before you could realize it wasn’t any cell you knew, it went to swipe at you. You shrieked but never felt any painful cuts.

“BACTERIA DETECTED!” You heard a voice yell. A white blood cell popped up out of nowhere

“DIE GERMS” he swung at them. One died instantly but the other was more of a struggle. He finally did get a good and fatal stab but it resulted in the germ getting pushed, hard. It stumbled as its dead body pushed down a supporting pillar of scaffolding. 

“GET BACK” he yelled and pushed you to a wall, shielding you from any fallen rubble. You finally opened your eyes to see your situation. You were trapped under this tall white blood cell who saved your life. His arms were on either side of your head as he panted. His eyes met yours and for once he was glad he was covered in blood, so you couldn’t see the prominent blush on his face. His thigh was between your legs as he assessed the situation. 

“We’re stuck” he said as calmly as he could

Your face turned a deeper scarlet and your eyes went wide, “W-What!?”

“I can’t move without risking more things to fall on us, but don’t worry, someone should be here... eventually” 

You looked deep into each others eyes as you smiled gently. His heart melted and he realized he didn’t actually mind being trapped here with you. “Well, guess we’re gonna be here for a while” you chuckled.

Daily Doodles- Day 188- 20/10/24

Still watching Cells at Work and it reminded me of an idea I had back in the day. It was about drawing my own versions of the cells, but as eldritch type creatures.

My art leans more cutesy these days, I just rolled with it. This is a version of a red blood cell! She holds oxygen and/or CO2 in her 'hat' and 'skirt'.

These are other red blood cells with different 'outfits'.

The tag for this is #agdoodles

Daily Doodles- Day 187- 19/10/24

I started watching Cells at Work because I'm currently going through a chronic illness flare-up caused by my immune system being too jumpy (I'm good though) and it had me thinking about all the immune system art that I want to make and all the research I want to do and I decided to draw a red blood cell OC!

Currently on episode 4! It's such a good anime!

The tag for this is #agdoodles

i made a new little guy!!!

ODJGFJHDJDNDJ DAZAI

okay okay so this is for my cells at work AU where dazai is a (benign, dont worry) cancer cell. he doesn't really...?? do much?? he mostly just runs from the immune system and gives chuuya horrible advice. he think's hes the main character but he's not lmfaooooo

he's a disgustingly mutated little freak and i love him

Reblog and put in the tags a character(s) you think would be extremely popular if the piece of media they’re from was more well-known.

THIS ONE it has a silly title but omg

Tfw you read a life changing fanfic at 3 in the morning and your crying but have no one to talk to about it because it's 3 in the morning so you just lie there

Some bodies with cancer do not win the battle. U-1146 is about to see this for himself, in a wild twist of events that forces him to reconsider his entire identity, that something about him was just slightly off.

[read the full fic here! first few paragraphs under the cut]

1146 sits with his back slumped against the cold, blue-hued glass of the containment tube he was held captive in. His dark eyes are a new kind of wide, and he clutches his wounded side with his hand. Deep red cytoplasm leaked through his fingers.

He could not feel his pain. No, not the pain of his body at least- but his emotional pain was very much real.

Laying on a bed of cancer were his friends and fellow immune cells, NK cell and Killer....no, Memory T cell. They were not moving. Not even a twitch of the fingers, or the rise and fall of their breathing. Their cytoplasm made a pool beneath them, and 1146 knew they were dead. Corpses.

He couldn't let himself cry, he thought, but his eyes still defiantly leaked tears as he pounded his hands against the glass. The cancer cell just laughed at his struggling.

"Why!?" 1146 screamed, anger bubbling up like boiling water. "Why do you have to do this!?"

"It's what I deserve! Consider it payback for the last time you put an end to me without a second thought! It's necessary to see my dream to fruition, after all!"

"But-"

"No buts, my friend! Look at how far my tumor is growing! And look at you. Defenseless. Don't you think your neutrophil pals will end up the same way? If I could take those guys down," he motions to the bodies with his hand, "then surely I can do it all again. Really, it was quite easy."

The difference between cells at work season 1 and cells at work code black is so drastic its comedic. Its like i watched season one so happy and was like "Sick theres a season two" not knowing and watching it like

I just rewatched the entirety of cells at work in one afternoon and I love the cuties patooties that are all the white blood cells.
