That feel when you're too strong

My Blade team has failed meeeeee ( ´;ﾟ;∀;ﾟ;)

Well not so much failed but wasn't the right team to beat the battle.

Tempest Sorcerer Trial 60 is such a bullshit fight. The fact if your team is too strong Dante dies by like turn 7 is so dumb. And let's not talk about the fucking nuke he does then if you survive that he rolls over and dies cause you looked at him wrong.

Fuck that fight. Fuck the collector.

Anyway here's the team I used to beat it.

Garu fucking saved me for being just weak enough Dante didn’t get blown up, and strong enough to live through the shit and counter attacks.

He good boy. (≧∇≦)b

In the latest Dark Moon: The Grey City update, they revealed new interesting information about the upcoming storyline!

"This story goes back 20 years before the werewolves settled down in the Sunshine City School when the new encounter and destiny began as they became one as brothers."

The Grey City will therefore be a PREQUEL to the events that are taking place in Dark Moon: The Blood Altar. It will be set throughout the 2000s, thus explaining the dates that appeared in the concept clips of the JUVENILE ver. of First Howling: ME.

The description that accompanied the second Concept Poster is just as interesting:

"On the outskirts of a port city lies a run-down house and an abandoned factory. A place where an inn is located in the dark alley Greyville, a grey city where no one cares for each other."

Dark Moon: The Grey City will be fittingly set in the town of Greyvill, a port city where everyone has to fend for themselves. The fact that Greyville is described as a city with a port implies that it is close to the sea, which is also coherent with what we saw in Teaser 1 of Under the Skin.

In the opening scene we see K (Khan?) talking to an injured man, possibly the current alpha of the pack who is about to pass his role onto K. The messy alley where this conversation is taking place also fits the description that we have of the run-down alley where the inn of Greyville is supposedly located.

One thing that doesn't fit, however, is the attitude of the characters on screen: Greyville is described as a city where no one cares about each other but K cares about the dying man and, in turn, he cares about the pups.

This contrast between the people of Greyville and the wolves of the pack will probably be very important moving forward: Greyville is a Grey City that might be violent and unforgiving. But the pack is always there for each other and no one is left behind.

First Howling: ME

&TEAM’s first ‘album’ and debut, released 7th December, 2022. The release included four tracks and introduced the group to the world. After 2+ years, we got ENHYPEN’s brother group. And did we get an ENHYPEN cameo? No. Did we get werewolves? Not really. It was definitely a storyline letdown, but just because I felt let down by the storyline, didn’t mean I felt let down by the songs and the debut. I don’t know all of the members of &TEAM yet (despite watching the survival show, lmao), but I’m here for K and for the werewolves and I wanted to say that I love it.

Design notes:

And the electrified pool incident continues (ik electric eels are of fresh water and not the ocean, but I already drew it. So. I have no canonical explanation for that I did it for the joke)

Taking a second look I'm starting to think their outfits are too simple, but first and foremost I wanted to do something fun for the looks of their primary features. I took inspiration from Luca (probably one of my favorite movies ever so I couldn't help but reference it here too lol) for the eye catching merform designs! Considering they're canonically sea monsters anyway, I didn't want to just insert their og designs here, so in this au they're more like in between their og merforms and human forms, also with their color pallettes are more similar to what flotsam and jetsam looked like in the little mermaid movie imo I wanted them to essentially wear the same thing despite the contrasting personalities, and technically most of the time they're walking around the school they're simultaneously working for Azul, looking for students to make deals with happens in this universe too (fortunately for them and unfortunatelyfor others), so an outfit more inclined to formal would be ideal to cause a good impression on their business, or as good as they can make it anyway. Nobody can contain Floyd though, if he has to wear an uniform he is going to stylize it.

Keeping it short this time, I don't wanna keep it on my drafts to add more notes later and postpone this more than I already have 💀 if I remember more facts about the AU twins I'll share them later!

Also, I was thinking of making a tag for asks related to this AU and I think I'll name it #.phantom asks to follow the AU theme lol but now I have to edit previous asks to insert this tag so wish me luck

&TEAM's debut MV will be released in less than 24hrs (YAY! :D) so here are some of my thoughts on the latest teaser of Under the Skin!

So, the first thing that seems to be confirmed is that the debut track will be a part of The Grey City lore. In the video description they included the tagline DARK MOON: THE GREY CITY with &TEAM so it'll definitely be showing us bits and pieces of the storyline and introduce the focal themes that will be explored later on.

This is also confirmed by what we see in the video itself because one of the dance scenes takes place in the gym of the Sunshine City School, the institute that the werewolves also attend in ENHYPEN's Dark Moon: The Blood Altar.

Much like in that story, Teaser 3 also introduces the pack as the members of the Sunshine City Wolves, which is the Nightball Team of the school as well as the rival team of the Decelis Academy.

Even just looking at the teaser, we can already notice great attention to detail. The emblem of the Sunshine City School matches the one we already saw back in Drunk-Dazed and the Webtoon, and even the colors of the uniform match the animations that are already available.

On the uniforms, we can also spot the Sunshine City School motto:

Sol Lucet Omnibus

It is a Latin phrase that means "The sun shines for everyone". This saying is more profound than what is seems because in ancient times it was used to express the idea that everyone has the inherent right to their own ray of sunshine. The sun shines for everyone means that we're all equal under the sun, and no injustice or greed can take that light away from us. This concept also fits well with the "code of honor" that makes the pack so loyal and united.

Another important detail of the teaser is the focus on dates, which hints at the idea that Under the Skin might not focus on a single event but rather give us a general overview of their upcoming story.

As I already mentioned in my previous &TEAM post, so far we know that Dark Moon: The Grey City will be set in the port town of Greyville 20 years before them enrolling at the Sunshine City School.

We already saw hints of this timeline in Teaser 1 with K and the other wolf, so the fact that in the video we'll also see them in Riverfield could mean that Under the Skin might summarise those 20 years that will lead them to become students of Sunshine City. I can't wait for this MV, I'm very curious to know more! :D
