Vanhalla

For context: Sock is kinda malformed (he's an adult, but due to the malformation he's stayed small and has a more simplistic mind), and he has a tendency to get zoomies, bump into things (and hyperfixate on things) (his name is Sock because he is obsessed with socks). It's fine on Erid, but in Aria's house... Not so much lmao.

Thus: air jail.

He was initially very angry about it but quickly realized it's actually kinda nice being all close to his favorite human, plus she introduced him to David Attenborough's soothing voice... He just can't get enough.

Oh yeah also Latro is passed out next to them in the second frame cause she likes sleeping a lot, so she's always at Aria's house cause Aria is good at watching her sleep.

Did I share The Stupids? I can't remember if I did lmao

So this is an unnamed OC (my brain is mush) for One Piece. Not the biggest fan of the show itself but the overall vibe and aesthetic is so fun. And I think Luffy needs a love interest who is as much of a chaotic gremlin as he is.

She has armament and conqueror's haki, no devil fruit powers. Her weapon of choice is a giant hammer with rockets, tho she also loves using her fists.

She's often seen egging Luffy on even when everyone else is screaming that it's a stupid idea.

Their relationship isn't the typical romance, given they're both on the ace-aro spectrum, but it's theirs. Luffy quite likes to wrap himself around her and have her carry him around, just for funsies.

Sometimes if she gives him a lil kiss or gets especial mushy he may end up melting into a lil puddle of rubber goop. Don't worry tho, if this happens during battle, she doesn't mind putting him in her backpack and waiting for him to spring back to life while she holds her ground.

They are... Not always very smart together, they share a single braincell most times, but it's okay, they're trying and that's what matters.

My babies

There's more I have in mind btw but I haven't drawn then yet.

- a duo of fashion-loving M/F twins (the guy is also a scientist and engineer) who are both super fab and into drag... And obviously get along very well with Blebleb as all three are unapologetically loud and proud (they kinda end up transforming a part of the human biodome into a runway just for Blebleb to flaunt her fashion)

Here's Jake and Kelsey meeting their new best friend Blebleb!

Blebleb is my sister's OC, she's a very loud and fabulous Eridian who is obsessed with making everyone know how beautiful she is. If she's not wearing crinkly and blingy clothes, then she's probably yelling everything in a very melodious crystalline tone (that may or may not hurt your ears if you're a sensitive human lmao). After meeting my other human OC Aria (a linguist, the first human to come to Erid after the creation of the Earth-Erid exchange program), she's been obsessed with the idea of human fashion, and ESPECIALLY drag, given how loud and proud drag queens are. Her dream is to meet one IRL.

Jake is a microbiologist who was chosen for the exchange program. He brought his sister Kelsey along as members of the program were allowed to come with family. Kelsey is a fashion designer... And her main muse is her brother, who loves doing drag as a hobby.

@zydeath @moral-autism The thing that's really unique about Cells at Work is that it's an educational show, about a complicated topic, for an audience (kids ages ehhh ~9-14?) who doesn't usually get explicitly educational TV anymore, that is trying to be both fun and actually, like, scientifically accurate. Painfully, up-to-the-minute, praised-by-actual-oncologists accurate.

.... Like, Osmosis Jones is fun, but you're not going to learn anything from watching it, right? (Unless you have completely missed the existence of germ theory, which, welcome to the 21st century, Brother Aelfwyne, if you can just hold still and ignore the pinch-) All of the human body stuff exists in service to the plot, the cold medicine is made up, the type of disease the villain is is made up, it's all for entertainment value.

Cells at Work is... weirdly accurate. Like. Every kind of cell introduced is a kind of cell that exists in the human body. They do the things in your body that they say they do in the show. The show frequently stops to point out that some kinds of cells can do certain things, and they do actually do those things in the human body. The actual, IRL features of cells are often plot points. (Neutrophils can go through cell walls. Eonosiphils attack parasites and other large pathogens, but don't do much against bacteria or viruses.)

As a story that's meant to be entertaining, it's a bit of a mixed bag- I am not sure if I'd show it to the intended target audience, for one thing, because the way a human body works, when applied to the body politic, is creepy and fascist, and the show kind of glorifies that. As a mnemonic aid for learning about the immune and cardiovascular systems? It's fantastic, and I wish there was more stuff that tried to teach you about complex topics by giving them a face.

*Looks at "Normal Cell"*

Seriously though, I don't know what's up with the "Normal Cells," the ones with the white shirts. Too my knowledge, there's no cell in the human body thats just a "Normal cell," I could theoretically understand them being just.. Epithelial Cells but they're never stated to be that, and theres no real differentiation between them based on where they are in the human body in CAW. (Epithelial Cells have jobs with how we see the Large Intestine Epithelial Cells being divers.)

They aren't endothelial cells either because the endothelial Cells are the floor tiles apparently?

Regardless of this, CAW is still amazing

Spoilers for CAW baby below

Alright! So the results are in, and... It's a tie?

Oh.

Imagine for a second you are Adrian surname The Eridian. Your spouse has been missing and presumed dead for around a decade, and suddenly one day an alien spaceship comes into orbit. And you cheer "Yay alien species have realized we have the same problem and have come to either give us a solution or join or efforts, too bad my mate is still gone."

Except he is not actually gone, because the eridian equivalent of a carebear decided to save them. And he doesn't want anything in return, in fact he is well aware that he might die A PAINFUL SLOW DEATH, shortly after fighting just to get the love of your life back to you. But it's ok :) because Rocky (yes he gave them a silly name) is my best friend! Oh- Are you ok-
