#Sound type

[bubblyboos-monstertavern]

Decided to actually face my fears and start posting more regularly. :’D

Anyways, this is Surblast (Pronounced Sure-Blast). It’s short for ‘Sir A. Digiblast’, I still know how he got a knighthood.

He’s a rave dj and the sound type gym leader in the Pokémon world I’ve been making. I really love how he turned out, cause the only thing I can think of now when I see him is “RADICAL!!” And the nightcore version of Welcome to the Club.

This pokemon is not... technically a pokemon, this is the final message of an extinct species given life. They float around the oceans they once called home attempting to recreate its former home.

So, I recently rewatched this video, and if you haven’t watched it yet, you probably should, as like most works of Jello, it’s best experienced blind.

[ If / Once ] you have, you can read the rest of this, because I’ll be talking about something at the very end.

Caught up? Good.

So, you may have noticed that a few of the Pokémon names at the end may have been.. slightly incongruous, to say the least.

And you know, I think that’s a shame, because those Pokémon deserved actual, well-thought-out names as much as the others.

So that’s what I did; gave them all proper, fitting names:

John -> Lyrechoir

John 2 -> Jerbellow

Fuqet -> Harmonate

It was surprisingly easy, reflecting on it.

Anyway, @jelloapocalypse, you have any thoughts on these new names?

Because I’d be happy to donate them.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

drawing a dragon is a high stakes operation that nets you the exact same pedantic comments as dinosaur art but for a totally made up animal

Decided to draw up design sheets for my Royal Caretaker AU! You can find Tenna’s original post with the lore here, Spamton’s original post with the lore here, information on neutral routes if you killed only Tenna or killed only Spamton here, and how they met here

Not shown is Genocide Route’s Spamton NEO because I forgot to design him and then I didn’t have space on the page so I’ll do that some other time :)

I could *maybe* see a sound type, since we do know of Pokemon with resistance and immunity to them, like Toxtricity and the Whismur line, along with a few that seem to get something like STAB. I still think it's a stretch, certainly.

what are your thoughts on proposed but not scientifically backed types like the light type or sound type or space type or food type

i think it's stupid. they're "categorizations" sure, but not Types. because if they were types, they would be scientifically backed. tell me the advantages and weaknesses of a """"space type pokémon"""" before we talk

A new treatment combining ReCET and semaglutide could eliminate the need for insulin in type 2 diabetes, with 86% of participants in a study no longer requiring insulin therapy. The treatment was safe and well-tolerated, and further trials are planned to confirm these results.

Groundbreaking research presented at UEG Week 2024 introduces a promising new treatment approach for type 2 diabetes (T2D) that has the potential to greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for insulin therapy.

This innovative approach, which combines a novel procedure known as ReCET (Re-Cellularization via Electroporation Therapy) with semaglutide, resulted in the elimination of insulin therapy for 86% of patients.

Globally, T2D affects 422 million people... While insulin therapy is commonly used to manage blood sugar levels in T2D patients, it can result in side effects... and further complicate diabetes management. [Note: Also very importantly it's fucking bankrupting people who need it!!] A need therefore exists for alternative treatment strategies.

Study Design and Outcomes

The first-in-human study included 14 participants aged 28 to 75 years, with body mass indices ranging from 24 to 40 kg/m². Each participant underwent the ReCET procedure under deep sedation, a treatment intended to improve the body’s sensitivity to its own insulin. Following the procedure, participants adhered to a two-week isocaloric liquid diet, after which semaglutide was gradually titrated up to 1mg/week.

Remarkably, at the 6- and 12-month follow-up, 86% of participants (12 out of 14) no longer required insulin therapy, and this success continued through the 24-month follow-up. In these cases, all patients maintained glycaemic control, with HbA1c levels remaining below 7.5%.

Tolerability and Safety

The maximum dose of semaglutide was well-tolerated by 93% of participants, one individual could not increase to the maximum dose due to nausea. All patients successfully completed the ReCET procedure, and no serious adverse effects were reported.

Dr Celine Busch, lead author of the study, commented, “These findings are very encouraging, suggesting that ReCET is a safe and feasible procedure that, when combined with semaglutide, can effectively eliminate the need for insulin therapy.”

“Unlike drug therapy, which requires daily medication adherence, ReCET is compliance-free [meaning: you don't have to take it every day], addressing the critical issue of ongoing patient adherence in the management of T2D. In addition, the treatment is disease-modifying: it improves the patient’s sensitivity to their own (endogenous) insulin, tackling the root cause of the disease, as opposed to currently available drug therapies, that are at best disease-controlling.”

Looking ahead, the researchers plan to conduct larger randomized controlled trials to further validate these findings. Dr. Busch added, “We are currently conducting the EMINENT-2 trial with the same inclusion and exclusion criteria and administration of semaglutide, but with either a sham procedure or ReCET. This study will also include mechanistic assessments to evaluate the underlying mechanism of ReCET.”

Note: If it works even half as well as suggested, this could free so many people from the burden of the ongoing ridiculous cost of insulin. Pharma companies that make insulin can go choke (hopefully).

ive been thinking about that one byler-esque post on twitter so I thought I'd take a crack at it even though I've already seen like 300 posts about it on every platform ever

anyway I think you'll like it, sorry I couldn't get it done before you left, but you mean so much to me and its been crazy without you here. Hope this is enough to last until you come back. Love, Mike

i'm still debating whether I think this was something Mike wrote when Will disappeared or something ABOUT how Will disappeared.

I don't think this was from will about the painting because season three came out July 4th of 2019 and this was posted October 17 of 2019 so I firmly believe Mike wrote this somewhere in between season 3 and 4 after the Byers moved out but was too scared to send it-- so he didn't send any letters at all.

EDIT- ok so I realized late last night this connection doesn’t make any sense so let me explain—

I figure that the first couple letters sent to the Byers family included one to Will along with Eleven, but as Mike started getting too transparent with his feelings in his letters, he started calling (which the explanation is in the next paragraph)

continuation I know this has been mentioned a lot but it was mentioned in S4 that Mike was always whining about the phone line being busy because of Joyce's job, and since calling over the phone is dangerous from El since shes hiding from the government, the only reason Mike would be calling would be because of Will.

haha not a single ounce of byler doubt in my mind hehehahachortlechortle

strong lettergate believer so this better be right

Morro’s reaction to meeting Lloyd again should go exactly like this

The two are just staring at each other, in complete shock. Morro is stuck frozen at the sudden appearance of someone he hurt years ago, but Lloyd has to quickly recover.

Lloyd, grimacing: Morro…It’s been a long while-

Morro:

Morro: Wait did you hit puberty
