U2048 - Tumblr Posts

YES I SURVIVED PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION AND MADE A CELLS AT WORK COMIC ABOUT IT BECAUSE I CAN!

The original Cells at work and all its characters belong to Akane Shimizu!!!

I am too dumb to draw mangas, so read left to right:

To explain some shit:

1. I had azithromycin because I’m kinda allergic to penicillin and I researched how it works. Basically, lots of the antibiotic collects inside the granules of phagocytes (aka. macrophages and neutrophils) and then they de-granulate upon encountering bacteria and fuck them up. Degranulation in Cells at Work is represented with their weapons, hence they got cool new weapon!

2. Azithromycin is a bacteriostatic which means that it causes them to stop reproducing and blocks their protein production. “Molecular machinery” refers to bacterial ribosomes, DNA and other components necessary for protein production.

3. The pills I got were light blue, so I made the antibiotic into blue lightsabers because I can and it’s cool.

4. I had to ship 1146 and 3803. I just had, sorry not sorry.

5. My artstyle is shit for Cells at work, but I don’t care one bit. I’m going to disappear from Tumblr for a little while to work on my actual webcomic that looks decent in this shit artstyle.

6. Yes I was sick for two weeks, it was most likely acute Streptococcus pneumoniae sinus infection. And I also got conjunctivitis, because of course I did. I’m fine now and this comic served as a very good catharsis.

Some sad cells at work hcs bc I’m bored

2048 has an eating disorder where he makes himself go days without anything expect water and or protein shakes due to him wanting to look perfect since in his past he used to be fat

4989 acts childish because he knows one day he’ll need to be put out commission and that day is coming soon enough

AE3083 kind of hates herself for being a sickle cell ( just my theory btw)

killer t picks on u1146 because he’s able to get along with other cells so easily

Memory cell has panic attacks due to his poor memory and thinking the end of the body is coming

NK cell will belittle herself for not being strong enough against a virus and or a forgiven substance that has entered the body

helper T cell has insomnia, he also wishes he was born as another cell instead of rotting away at his computer desk

memory is in an almost everyday mental anguish

That’s all, goodnight 🌙 <3
