That episode of MASH where Pierce has psychosomatic allergic reaction to past trauma --
Lilith
This is not how allergies work
Lilith
The acting is top notch, OF COURSE
Lilith
But this is why my metal band (with Moosey) is named Psychosomatic Cytokine Storm Syndrome because 
that is not a thing
that is not a thing
Lilith
Fucking 70s tv psychology (lol0

Psychosomatic disorder | pathology
<- It's not to say there's no physiological problems from psychosomatic problems BUT
Lilith
It pissed me off when I was little and people were like "Her migraines are just psychosomatic" BRUH.
Lilith
I WISH

If that was the case, then I could turn them off. And 20 years of therapy would have had pain cures instead of "how to deal with people and not stuff your emotions in a bottle"

Lilith
Also the idea that the childhood trauma doesn't affect him until the smell triggers the memory is so twitchy
Lilith
ALSO SCRATCH TESTS ARE NOT THE END ALL BE ALL
Lilith
T-Cells always are assumed to be the bad actors in allergies but
Lilith
NOT SO
Lilith
I mean I did have an ulcer (7th grade, NOT RECENTLY) but I had the bacteria causing it 
Lilith
AND SEE ALSO AS TO RECENTLY
Lilith
BACTERIA LOVE ME

I am moyashimon, all my mucus

Lilith
The Leukemia episode is 2nd after
Lilith
and my Mom was like "It's not that deadly is it?" ANd Moosey and I were like "uh YEAH it's the deadliest cancer because it over-replicates white blood cells" etc. etc.
Lilith
No cure.
Lilith
And I have like 99% of the symptoms lol but they always test me for it because duh
duh
Lilith
And now I have to show my Mom Cells at Work :3
Whatson
Cells at work gets mediocre fast
Whatson
The episodes we saw were really good. Then the writing falls on it's face
Lilith
AW MAN
Whatson
i can only see someone fall down and almost not get stabbed by a hesitating germ and then get saved so many times
Lilith
lol
Lilith
I mean it is for kids
Whatson
uh
Whatson
is it for kids?
Whatson
Because this is trying to make you feel bad for cancer
Lilith
it is. but I mean cancer IS kind of
it is. but I mean cancer IS kind of
Lilith
Not an invader like bacteria
Lilith
it's just your body replicating cells too much
Whatson
the cancer cell character says he is trying to be killed just for being born
Lilith
Lilith
Again, that's literally true
Whatson
right, not saying it isn't
Whatson
but the question was "is it for kids"
Lilith
Yes
Whatson
Lilith
It's a shounen manga not a seinen
Lilith
it's more kid-friendly than Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece idk what you want from me
Whatson
technicalities
Whatson
anyways it's okay, but the writing bottomed out
Whatson
still, your mom would probably be entertained
Lilith
/o/
Exacerangutan
//gently chomps "Syndrome" off the band name and it's way better, just saying//
Lilith
Yeah I was thinking that lmfao
Lilith
too long
Exacerangutan
well also, the last word is the concrete part of the compound noun, and a storm is more badass and metal than a syndrome which is at best edgy
Exacerangutan
like Linkin Park or maybe System of a Down style you could be a Syndrome, but if you're thinking about Dragonforce or Metallica or Megadeth you want to be a Storm
Exacerangutan
//nods sagely//
Lilith
oohhhh /nod nod
Exacerangutan
metal isn't clinical, you see, it's epic
Exacerangutan
when it addresses clinicalism at all, it's usually fairly negative, as a suppression/violation of nature (cf. Metallica's Welcome Home)
Whatson
I take back some of my criticism of Cells at Work. It had a lowpoint but it sort of recovered. It's definitely better than a majority of what I've seen later, and the premise is still great
Lilith
oooh
