Every time I rewatch TFATWS, I can't help but notice - Bucky has the TV on. He's waking up from a nightmare to a turned on TV and since he doesn't have roommates, it's probably safe to assume he left it like that on purpose.

We know why he's sleeping on the floor, Steve had the same problem, the bed is too soft. But there's another reason why he's sleeping in the living room, and why the TV is on, and especially on something as neutral as a sports channel.

I wonder if it's simply because he hates the quiet. If his mind wanders too much when there's nothing for him to focus on, if his thoughts get too dark, if his enhanced senses are reaching for every small sound that a normal person wouldn't catch, every creak of the building, every whistle of the wind, and he can't fall asleep.

Or if it's also because of the nightmares. If when he jerks awake into darkness and silence, he panics. I'm back there, I'm trapped, I'm frozen and tortured and controlled, I'm a machine and a monster.

But when he hears the TV, the muted cheers and the sports comentator, and sees the light reflected over the living room, it ground him back into the present.

#if that's the case the sports channel deff makes sense #news are a no-go obviously #movie channels are risky too #maybe a music channel would work too?#tho modern music might not be helping much #bucky barnes #the falcon and the winter soldier #bucky barnes meta #winter soldier

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

Does anyone else other than hazel end up finding out abt dev’ prosthetic?do Winn and jasmine find out?

Eventually he does get comfortable enough to let other people see it, he still refuses to tell anyone what happened though.

#the alternative answer was 'pudding poisoning' but I thought this was funnier #fop nature au #fop #fairly oddparents #fop a new wish #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop dev #dev dimmadome #fop winn #fop jasmine #peri is also technically here #Obviously they have concerns because he definitely didn't have that before #but its going to be a very very very long time before he's willing to tell people a story like that

TAYLOR ZAKHAR PEREZ in 2024 ❀ Everything I have now is everything I wished for five years ago, ten years ago, and I think we can get caught up in the haves and the have nots, and I wish I had this and I wish I had that. I think the wishing is cool, as long as you stay grateful.

Bonus 12: Beware the Grapes of Wrath.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #WWX's main weapon as the Yiling patriarch is considered to be 'Wen Ning' - which makes sense as far as the whole necromancer thing goes.#However...That *is* Wen Qing's beloved baby brother!#In her perspective WWX skipped town for a few days (or so) and took WN with him #only for them both to show up bloodied and in a state of disarray.#There's no way he told her he was going out to duel Jiang Cheng. For several reasons.#He doesn't want to involve her in his messes anymore than he already has.#It's less that she would try and stop him and more so that he honestly wouldn't even think to say something about it to her.#WQ and him aren't partners in this situation. He actually openly disregards her opinions several times.#Wei Wuxian's emotional distance from everyone around him is a big part of this arc.#Like all good tragedies...his biggest flaw is his hubris. He doesn't *need* anyone when he's so capable on his own.#He doesn't need to ask permission when obviously this is the only way forwards.#He has to do it all on his own! No one else needs to be involved!#And if you've been in the position of realizing you have a problem of toxic self-reliance - you know how harmful this mindset is.#It's why it's so satisfying to see WWX in his 'new' life start to let other's share his burdens.#I will die on the hill of 'love means carrying each other's weight. All a burden means is that I can give you support and you support me.'#YLLZ is less 'competent and sexy' and more 'depressed and can't see it'.#Another lovely nod to the main theme here is how he starts leaning more and more into the rumours about him.#Though we are also still confronted with how these rumours fail to actually live up to reality.#Rumour has it the Yiling Patriarch is undefeatable. What a shame if that rumour turned out to be untrue!

i like this edit better and i’m using it as my pfp now

#so i learned a new thing about green eyes yesterday #they’re the only eye colour to change based on light and weather #apparently they can go to either brown or blue depending #because having green eyes is technically a birth defect and they shouldn’t exist #i only saw it on a reel so i have to do more research obviously #but i thought that was neat #because i didn’t edit my eyes here but they look really blue #and now it totally makes sense #fun useless facts with kiki #<< i should make this an actual tag #cuz im choc full of useless facts #kiki

You know what, Kevin seeming to not have a strong sense of morality makes complete sense with the whole recently escaped a cult he spent most of his childhood in thing. He probably doesn’t trust his own morals, and like… would you? In the nest he was expecting to let Riko do whatever even if he knew it was wrong. Anytime he wanted to be nice he had to do it secretly. Then he leaves and he’s seen as extremely callous, but also he spends all his time with the foxes most of whom are very maladjusted, so the lines are terribly blurred. Like yeah ok, the monsters drug people sometimes but hey it’s apparently for their own good and it has nothing on the shit Riko used to do, so not his problem. The foxes beat each other up bc apparently that’s still fine? Whatever he’s staying out of it unless it directly involves him. Andrew chokes him and it was bad enough that he was stopped but also people were still mostly on Andrew’s side for that? Moving on I guess. Like it’s going to take forever to get a solid grasp on what is and isn’t ok in that situation. I think that’s why he defaults to outwardly worrying about exy in stressful situations (Seth’s death, the drake incident, etc.), because at least that’s something he’s sure about.

#i mean he’s definitely TRYING but it’s going to be a bit before he actually gets there #and like obviously he has some morals he just doesn’t stand up for them #jean also struggles with this #his is mostly self directed but he had his moments where it applied to other people he just has a much more concrete set of new morals to #work with so he’s improving much more quickly than kevin #aftg #all for the game #kevin day #the foxhole court #the raven king #the foxes #the nest aftg

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.”

-via SciTechDaily, October 17, 2024

--

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).

#would be super interested to hear from people with expertise in the area about how this sounds #obviously it's a small sample size #but they're going to do more trials #and LOOK at that effectiveness rate #insulin #diabetes #healthcare #medicine #diabetic #type 2 diabetes #public health #medical news #good news #hope

who up grieving an online website based around an absurdist version of baseball

#i miss her..... my wife..........#sometimes i think i'm normal about it and then i remember being 16 and s24 and .dat and then i get a little sad #blaseball's weird bc i don't want to say the community's Dead bc it's not (hi blaseblr) but it's like #the closest a fandom can get to dying i think. what do you do when there's no reliable way to get new fans because #the thing you all love is over and the experience was so dependent on there being community there #like obviously everything's more fun with community but blaseball literally depended on it to continue existing. and now it's over #ANYWAYS. shoutout to the spies for tolerating me at 16 there was a lot going on there #now i'm 19 and like wrestling which feels like a logical progression of things #ummm happy firewalker with me friday

In a dpxdc demon twins AU, I think Damian would be Pissed that Danny's ghost name is Phantom = Fenton, when he could have gone with Ghoul = al Ghul

Danny Ghoul is so much better and cooler than Phantom! Absolutely no other reason for his anger!

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #demon twins #danny and damian are twins #while damian can understand taking a new name to keep the fact he's alive a secret #danny could have gone by ghoul without any greater risk to himself #so he's a bit bitter about that #'if you're going to have a stupid name Obviously based on your surname then it should be based on the superior name'

I know that in the comics Matt travels the world (mostly as Daredevil) and even lives in San Francisco twice, but Netflix/MCU Matt has the vibe of a guy who has never left New York City except for maybe like a high school class trip to DC. Like this is a man who went to Jersey once six years ago for Foggy’s sister’s wedding and has never crossed the state line ever again. Him and Foggy house-sat for a law school professor on Long Island and Matt seriously considered making up some excuse to leave Foggy alone and head back home early. New Rochelle is “upstate” as far as he’s concerned. I know this in my heart.

#Matt Murdock #daredevil #do not tell me what happens in the rest of the MCU besides the originally Netflix series bc I assure you I don’t care #Matt has barely ever left New York he told me himself #this isn’t even a like ‘I’m hell’s kitchen’s protector the city needs me thing’#it’s a ‘why would I go anywhere else everything I need is right here’ thing #it’s a ‘New York is the only place in the world obviously’ New Yorker thing. why would anyone ever go anywhere else.#I also do not think Foggy us a driver’s license or if he does it’s bc he technically failed the test for taking a left on red or something #but then like charmed his way into getting a pass or the examiner was a friend of the family or something lol #OR Marci taught him how to drive bc she was like ‘wtf you’re a grown man you should know how to drive a car’#and Foggy’s initial response was ‘why would I need to drive a car me and Matt take the train everywhere’ (she did not mention Matt)
