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.

I am eagerly watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook*o* so good!

idk what will the ending bring (nothing good, knowing Chinese dramas); but in my mind Di Feisheng (“gay as hell to have arch nemesis; what’s he arching? his back?”- meme personified) will always aggressively care for Li Lianhua (there probably will be threats of the snake pit at least twice a dayXDD)

I am going to tell you this because it has been huge for me.

I work in a public-facing job. sometimes people like to complain to me. sometimes people like to complain to me for a very, very long time. and for a long time, the best response I could come up with was a quick silent prayer: “help me, Jesus.” or if I wasn't completely overwhelmed in the moment, “help me to see You in this person, Jesus.”

and I did need help, and trying to see Jesus in the person in front of me was what I should have been doing. but the problem with that prayer was that it was often secretly “help me, Jesus (because this person is so incredibly annoying and wrong and I wish they would go away and I can’t take it anymore)” or “help me to see you in this person, Jesus (because I can’t at all because they’re really not acting like You)” or “help me, Jesus (because I am the victim here and You should feel sorry for me because I’m doing everything right”. and don’t get me wrong. those are honest prayers, even psalm-like in their way. but the problem becomes when I’m not really asking for help anymore. I don’t want help to bear it patiently and lovingly. I’m just looking for the correct and justified way to complain. it’s not “help me, Jesus, because everything’s awful and I’m feeling sorry for myself,” it’s really “help me, Jesus, because everything’s awful and I’m feeling sorry for myself.”

a couple weeks ago, for no reason except the grace of God, I switched strategies. now when someone is holding me hostage to their complaints, I just pray: “Jesus, I love you.” just that. there’s no hidden clause that’s bitching and moaning and secret un-Christian judgment. I muster up a tiny act of love that has nothing to do with the person in front of me; I flee from the moment I’m in that’s driving me crazy, and hide in Jesus for a split second. and paradoxically, that makes it much easier to love the person in front of me, and see Jesus in them, and make a genuine offering of my frustration.

&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

bottom surgery but i have no idea what's going to happen because my owner handles all of it, they're the one who has the conversations with the skilled and highly specialized surgeon, whenever they bring me in i'm blindfolded and have headphones blasting so that i can't hear what they're talking about as they examine and poke and massage and trace their fingers over me, my owner probably edging me or making me cum a couple times just to show something to the surgeon, all of the decisions are made in regard to my owners desires and priorities for me, i just have to trust that whatever ends up happening, my owner had a reason to do it, and my owner knows what's best for me

again because i watched the gsnk anime literally ten years ago and am only now picking up the manga: for years i was like well why isnt mikoshiba paired with anyone. all the other side characters are paired off in stupid duos but mikoshiba always just hangs out with sakura or nozaki for his specific bullshit. how was i supposed to know the anime was hiding nozaki's "theres something lgbt going on here" little brother
