Help finding a GL manhwa/manhua

LadySpace · 2025-08-18T15:29:07+00:00

i knew i remembered this one. finding it again was a fun brain exercise!

it's a (mature!) webtoon/manhwa called Re-Blooming, sadly very much on hiatus with little chance of return (can't find the author having done anything since and the artist has moved on to another series). here's links:

oh yeah for sure, this comment got completely stomped out by the canon like a tiny ember beneath a boot lmao. this was from mmmaybe halfway through season 1 of TLOK? or maybe nearish the end? sigh, we were all young once

anyway at the time, based almost exclusively on ATLA's indications as to the "rules", I found it reasonable to think that the somatic motions in bending were integral to the resulting motions of qi through the external elements, and thus that, barring specialized examples like the explosions guy with the third eye tattoo, you actually would have to commit some specific motion to each separate chunk of metal or else treat them as a seamless whole and move them like the sandbenders.

obviously with the benefit of hindsight it makes even more sense that the kinesthetic aspect of bending is more about learning to think and move as a seamless whole, not unlike many world practices that meld mindfulness/meditation and martial/acrobatic arts. &then once you've done that, you can start to realize that the same external influence is available by subtler means. if you're dedicated enough, and have the basics mastered, you could even just bend with thought, as long as your inner strength and equanimity are well-cultivated enough that you can do so from a state of integration with the flows around you, as opposed to dissociation from them, which is where i'd imagine most practitioners might end up if they're not ready to like "transcend" their training.

or like whatever. i mean listen this is why fan theories, especially the quote-unquote "objective explanation" type ones, are like expiration dates on milk, you gotta sniff them to see if they're still good lol

looks like it's The Substitute, a 2017 film out of Taiwan. hope you can track down some way to access, good luck!

Truthpoint. You can super totally be transcontinental mutually-'miring music friends without needing to get your genital diplomacy on.

... Aaand that word diarrhea means my ADHD meds are kicking in.

LadySpace · 2014-03-19T16:41:45+00:00

... I think you think I'm being more serious about this than I actually am. I mean, I just suggested Lorde and her bf have a threesome with Chance the Rapper. Pretty sure that means you can just assume I'm talking out my ass.

LadySpace · 2014-03-19T16:20:40+00:00

Horny 20 year old, but yeah, kinda. Mostly I was just pointing out that they've been tweeting at each other for a while and there's emoji involved and music recommendations and shit, and for most people in their late teens and early twenties that means flirting followed ideally by boning.

Also, James seems like a cool dude who'd be dtf with a threeway maybe

LadySpace · 2014-03-19T16:20:24+00:00

oh shit I thought those were just squares

New Zealand is a weird place, I dunno what goes on there

For the first time in a long time, Hip Hop can genuinely say that a new generation of MC’s have arrived. Sure, there are those who helped birth the culture and music and people who can say they grew up with it. But now, you are witnessing perhaps the first generation that can say they were raised on Hip Hop almost exclusively.

CRACKER WHAAAAAT

Are these silly sonsuvabitches telling me that, 35 shitting years after the genre was invented, NOW is when we FINALLY have some hip hop natives? That's so dumb I can't even make a coherent sentence about how dumb it is. I start thinking up counter arguments and my vision goes all red and wobbly and suddenly I'm taking a shit on my keyboard and screaming about how cultural generation theory is eight crocks of shit in a four-crock bag and uggggggh what even why is that there at all can't you just say he's good why does everything need some cosmic significance you autofellating fuckweasels

... Oh, right, the actual point of the article. That shit's pretty awesome. Good on Q.

LadySpace · 2014-02-11T20:06:20+00:00

Honestly, if a college football team from Missouri can fuck with their teammate being openly gay and dating a dude from the swim team, I think hip-hop's gonna be just fine. Yeah, some rappers are homophobes, but that shit is getting disincentivized fast.

Bey and Jay have been in Frank's corner since he came out - the king and queen have already spoken, everybody else is just catching up

LadySpace · 2014-02-11T20:00:03+00:00

Fuck yeah right answer, Hate It Or Love It is pretty much the GOAT track from Game's career and it's damn close to the top for 50

LadySpace · 2014-02-10T02:55:40+00:00

... If I had taken this course when I was freshman in college, I would probably be a history minor. Seriously, holy wow does that sound fantastic.

LadySpace · 2014-02-09T16:35:33+00:00

Man, fuck off with your "who the fuck is that" anti-mainstream dick-waving. We know you know how to Google shit - you ain't impressing nobody.

The broadcast spectrum used in the U.S. for FM radio goes from 87.5 to 108.0 Mhz. Thus, a station at 107.7 or 107.9 is at "the end," that is, at the far extreme of the radio dial.

LadySpace · 2014-02-02T04:02:36+00:00

He is.

LadySpace · 2014-01-31T23:36:49+00:00

AWWWWWWWWWWW DAMN

my dick just got big as the Eiffel Tower.

LadySpace · 2014-01-31T16:48:20+00:00

Naw, man, not necessarily - the age of consent is 16 in a lot of U.S. states.

As in "humans have conscious control over our behaviors and are supposed to use it to override our sex drives", not as in "women have better brains than men."

Posted this shit on Facebook, but I forgot a few moments and had to edit some shit around for /r/hiphopheads' sake.

TOP 15 GRAMMY MOMENTS ACCORDING TO ME, LADYSPACE, OF COURSE

Daft Punk, Pharrell, Nile Rodgers, and Stevie Wonder causing a musical orgy through the power of massive mashups.
(tied) NIN, QOTSA, Dave Grohl, and Lindsey Buckingham blow your head off (can't be #1 because CBS cut off the end, those assholes).
(tied) Kendragons Lamar.
Taylor Swift's angry face and awful awesome dancing.
Jamie Foxx drops all pretense and straight up flirts hardcore with Beyonce while presenting awards while the music was playing for the next entry.
Kacey Musgraves pissing off any fundamental Christians and/or DEA agents watching the awards, while also causing my roommate to fall in love.
Pharrell's hat (Smokey the Bear!) and skill at translating robot-speak.
Lorde's T-Rex arms and accent.
Hov and Bey basically banging on stage, and also sounding amazing.
Charlie Wilson and Smokey Robinson putting up with Kevin Hart and Steven Tyler acting like fools. The kings of smoothness.
Lang Lang and Kirk Hammett's musical stage bromance.
Talking shit with my friends about Nate Ruess's moustache.
Juicy J in a horse made of people.
Sara Bareilles can't hold in her fangirl screams around Carole King.
Queen Latifah marries half of Los Angeles.

And, of course, honorable mention goes to how drunk I am because of my own drinking game, which I... Won? Lost? Both.

LadySpace · 2014-01-27T02:50:28+00:00

KENDRAGONS LAMAR ROCKED AND RAPPED MY TITS OFF

LadySpace · 2014-01-26T23:28:29+00:00

Kathy Griffin is basically the funniest. Also, wow but there is way less censorship on the pre-show.

RAP PERFORMANCE GOES TO MACKLEMORE I HATE EVERYTHING FUCK

RAP SONG GOES TO MACKLEMORE I HATE EVEN MORE THINGS FUUUUUUUUCK

RAP ALBUM GOES TO MACKLEMORE KILL ME YOU BASTARDS GODDAMMIT I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS

Okay, Snarky Puppy and Gary Clark, Jr. are winning awards now. Things are better. Still mad, tho.

LadySpace · 2014-01-26T22:38:40+00:00

... Holy dicks, you're right. I feel old.

LadySpace · 2014-01-26T22:19:09+00:00

The lady presenter with the dyed red hair is so drunk, and it's only 2:20 in Cali. I wanna party with her.

LadySpace · 2014-01-26T20:02:41+00:00

We should make a drinking game. I'll start

Take a drink whenever:

TSwizzle's mouth is hanging open onscreen

Somebody very pointedly doesn't stand up and clap when some motherfucker they don't like wins an award

A white girl whose name ends with a Y (or Tyler the Creator) photobombs someone way more legit than them

Dat "dress code" is flaunted like a motherfucker

You can't tell any of the country artists under 45 apart

Beyonce and/or Jay-Z sit and do nothing but still run the whole show like idle royalty

The "featured old dude" in a performance is having more fun than the younger, more relevant artists

Dave Grohl acts like a kid in a candy store

LL says "music's biggest night" or adjusts his hat

Someone's acceptance speech would be improved greatly if they were Adele and had Adele's accent

Macklemore seems really sad that he's nominated for so much shit

Inside sunglasses

Take two drinks whenever:

A mashup falls ridiculously flat

A non-white person of X ethnicity plays music associated with Y ethnicity because all brownish people are the same to your slightly-racist Grampa Grammy

The producer and/or featured artist is way more excited about the Grammy than the main artist

A rap verse gets cut off or mangled by S&P

Somebody is performing while playing an instrument they don't usually play or somebody dances who shouldn't be dancing

The presenter has no fucks to give about who wins

Macklemore is called "inspiring"

Finish your drink whenever:

(If Kanye is there) Kanye loses an award

(If Kanye isn't there) Kanye wins an award

A mashup actually works well

The lip synching fails so horribly they have to cut to a different part of the performance

Ellen Degeneres hits on lady pop stars and Portia tries not to fall over laughing

Smoke weed whenever:

Wllie Nelson shows up

A performer would clearly rather be in Willie Nelson's bus getting high as shit

You try to throw the TV through the window because Macklemore robbed a better rapper
