Honestly, I have never once listened to K-pop. I would probably like it, I just haven't tried it. But hybe has done more to convince me to give it a try someday than anything else by cross promoting their bands through webtoons. 😆

They've got 5 now, and the Dark Moon ones are in the same world. And they're all decent stories.

Dark Moon is vampires and werewolves, Star Seekers is like... pop stars with magical powers who are destined to save the world, kinda like superheroes but without secret identities (not gonna lie, I am not caught up on that one... it wasn't bad, but it's my last favorite, and I had fallen behind on a bunch of them because of other reading, and now it feels intimidating to try and catch up...), Crimson Heart is magical girls, and... I don't really know how to describe 7fates... reincarnation, kinda? With monsters? Based on the title, I think it will eventually have another series connected to it like Dark Moon.

Well i think i might be becoming an enhypen stan which is just great

[cirqosmos]

imagine once im able to achieve my dream in japan and became a mangaka, and someone from hybe labels japan called me to idk draw the &team members or be an artist for their current dark moon grey city and then I met Kei. who's gonna fall in love first OFC ME. AND OPEN YOUR EYES CUZ THIS IS VERY UNLIKELY CUZ IM VERY DELULU- pathétique me ☕

Hiii it's the webtoon girl!! Here with some recommendations!!

If you're into a soft fluffy romance then I suggest:

1.)Maybe meant to be ( summary - Jia Han is a freelancer who is tired of her parents nagging her to get married and move out, She then runs into a childhood friend, Mincheol Jin, who is in a similar situation as her so she proposes to marry him to solve their problems. Then shenanigans ensue)

2.)My Giant Nerd Boyfriend (This is my favourite) (Summary- It's a oneshot story featuring a couple with a height difference, each chapter is stand-alone ish )

3.)Not so shojo love story (Summary - Romance super fan Rei Chan is ready for her first boyfriend and she knows who it will be, Hansum, the most popular boy in class. But her plans get derailed when the most popular girl in class declares herself a rival for..... Rei's heart?!!!)

If you like drama, political and regal stuff I suggest,

1.)The Remarried Empress (This isn't my favourite but it was a very enjoyable read, and it's a very popular webtoon) (Summary - Navier is a perfect Empress of the Eastern Empire and her life is perfect until one day her Husband brings home his mistress and demands a divorce. In a shocking twist, Navier remarries another Emperor and retains her title. But how did everything unfold?)

2.)Twilight poem ( Soru is a princess born form illegitimacy and is able to see ghosts even though she is completely blind. Spru gets married to a general because they need each other, she needs his protection and he needs her special magic powers. However, Soru is more special than anyone initially thought) (TW: Violence)

If you want you can also read the Webtoons that Hybe makes for their groups like The star seekers, Crimson Heart, 7Fates:Chakho, Dark Moon: Blood Alter, Dark Moon: Grey City, etc (Their summaries are too long so just check em out on Webtoon lol)

If you are into horror or crime stories I recommend:

1.) My deepest secret (This gets a little dark towards the end so if you think it may trigger you don't read it) (Summary- Emma has the most handsome, loving boyfriend, Elios. But is Elios really that perfect? What's his secret?) ( TW: Yandere themes, abuse, Violence)

2.) The Guy Upstairs ( I don't know if it gets dark in the future since it's fairly new but read with caution as it's more crime oriented) (Summary - Rozy finds her upstairs neighbour a little too... odd... ) (TW: Potential psychopath, Violence)

And if you want a more unique story and don't mind gratuitous Violence I recommend, (Also warning, it is a dark story and has certain morally bankrupt themes so give it a skip if you don't like stuff like this since I am not sure about your tastes I am recommending everything that I found interesting)

Get Schooled ( Summary - Hwajin Na's teaching techniques are pretty violent for someone who works in the ministry of education . That being said, when normal punishments don't work on even the worst of bullies, there is no better man for the job. Sometimes you can't get a good education until those bullies are taught a lesson) (TW: Alot of violence, abuse, graphic descriptions of potentially triggering topics such as depression and suicide)

Yess thank you so much for the recs!!!!

Okay I just got the app and i’m gonna read My Giant Nerd Boyfriend!! I’ll let you know how it goes 🤭💗💗

[baekhvuns]

I was dreading to open your blog and read your reply, cause I knew the slander would be too much 😐😐😐😐 I'm simply closing my eyes. Blocking the haters (aka user baekhvuns). I actually stayed up late to watch the match and it was not worth it, thankfully Sanhwa went live and their Lego shenanigans were more exciting 💀 I kept yelling "wake up, Madrid, Ancelotti use your fucking brain and Gavi get off the pitch!". Benzema in his salty era, yikes, I know he's mad that his goal was offside and so am I, but come on.

Moving on........

I just hope that if the allegations against Gr**nw**d are true, the girl won't go through the same shit again. 🙃

Yeah the Atiny I met has been following Atz around since last year, that's why I blocked her and stopped interacting with her recently. She's not dangerous, but how manu times do you have to see them? That Judy girl is so fucked, she thinks she's doing something??? And is besties with NCT???

Fucking LSM destroying his own company, ffs I've always said he'd be the downfall of SM. Chris Lee what a dumb greedy bitch, no wonder these two are related. But speaking of dumb people. The delusion and saviour complex is huuuuuge. And did you see that "SM with Hybe" Twitter account???

Avocados don't like snow so I'm not shocked your uni closed ajshaisshhajahwkkaa. Pls stay inside it's safer and cosier 😭. Omfg knife crime typical London behaviour, sigh. Paris is bad too lol, not the safest place, Berlin is better, but the city is also on my shitlist, too privileged. Kai you don't need to go there

"Your guys's hierarchy" hey, don't group me with them Brits, I'm just an outsider who has been studying the UK behaviour for years 😭 Brummie accent was once voted the least appealing, but foreigners are obsessed with it cause of PB, so hilarious. I like beans on toast, I'm afraid... BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ME BRITISH OKAY.

I remember when Hwa apologised he couldn't dye his hair black yet, because of Imitation?!?!? Some people had the audacity to comment on the grey hair 🔫🔫🔫🔫

Cornish accent is sometimes called "the most American of UK's accents" but they're not like deep South, Cornwall is nice and fun! I guess the difference between most Southern English accents and Cornish is that they roll their "Rs". I have some friends from there, one got into performing school as a child and they asked her mother if she could "get rid of the village accent" huh?! She wasn't even from a village

Breaking Wommys hearts kusuahsjsjauaah but I'm not complaining 🥰 yes to fencer or racer Hwa

WHAT did you just say about the nose 🔫🔫🔫 my feelings are soft, I just wanna perform some cannibalism ok. let me bite Seonghwa's nose in peace!

Finally some Atz x fashion interaction! Seonghwa next pls 🤗

Liking anything when you're over 25 is illegal Baek, so have fun while it lasts. Later it's just taxes, mortgage, 2 shifts etc. no happy days in sight 🤗

Everyone's screaming shaking and crying trying to find Seonghwa's winter MD, but ever since I saw the blurred previews I knew I had to have him, so I'm safe! I'M GONNA EAT HIM I REALLY WILL!!!! THE HEART BLUSH?!?!?!? I'M UNWELL

This is bad for me, a cat boys enthusiast 🙄

Pls look away OP, you don't need to perceive him. In constant battle with myself, because I wanna gatekeep Seonghwa, but also want everyone to know and praise him 🤧

My rockstar gf! and Mingi toooooo

I'm on the floor actually. The 2nd photo 🥴🥴🥴🥴

👀👀👀 but girlie was stressed msjsjdjsjabsnswjsh

Hwa is watching The Alchemy of Souls, I won. Also TAoS Hwa AU...... 😊

Could you make an edit of @greycity_hybe the new photos they posted on instagram from their webtoons.

Hi Hi!

Love the request, thank you dear anon! I did not know this webtoon or these boys, but I loved the whole concept!

Hope you enjoy it!

[moonseekers]

i wish that the sooha/khan thing wasn't forced by the eclipse cause it'd be better for them to be bonding over their somewhat similar, not very fun at all childhoods (both of them being ostracized for something they had no control over but khan's situation was much much MUCH worse than sooha's) and have their relationship develop naturally 😭

# 2 and soobin for the prompt please!

you wouldn't say you were the sentimental type.

things came and went. kids grew into adults. that was just how life was. people grew apart, sometimes closer, and it was all expected.

you just never thought you would have to face it yourself.

it was a problem that you had only read about in story books. the handmaiden watches the price she fell in love with get married. she moves on. the king lets go of the memories of his favorite knight. he moves on. the queen loses her son, her only son. she moved on.

they all moved on. so why couldn't you?

"class! class! let's start this school year by introducing ourselves! i'll go first. my name is ms. hilton, and i'm your english teacher for this year! i've worked at this school for a long time now, and i can't wait to teach all of you kids!

okay, now that i've done my introduction, shall we go along the classroom and introduce ourselves? starting from you sir, yes you with the white and black sneakers. please start by telling us your name and a fun fact about yourself."

you watched as the said boy stood up, pushing his hair back with his hand.

"uh... hi everyone, i'm soobin, and one fun fact about me is i went to Europe this year."

as the next person got up to introduce themselves, you found yourself staring at him.

jeez, he was tall for a middle schooler.

the sun is filtering through the blinds in your room, and rays of light are being painted across the walls. everything is a golden color, from the desk to the bedside.

"so... what topic are we choosing for this project?" you watched through the lens of your glasses as soobin furrowed his brow.

"do you think, maybe aristotle?" you nodded your head eagerly, so soobin stood up and walked over to the teachers desk. a second later he sent you a thumbs up.

"aristotle it is."

you twirled your pen in your fingers as soobin took a seat. "hey do you want to work on the project with me over the weekend? i know a really good café...?"

there was a small smile on your face, and you nodded.

"yeah sure, what time?"

you got up from your chair, grabbing a camera. in this lighting, the room was just too pretty to not take a picture of.

"y/n, for someone of that height, there is no reason you should be walking that fast."

you sent a small smile to the long-legged boy trying to catch up with you in the hallway.

"if you don't want to be late to class bin, you're going to have to put those legs to work."

you let soobin catch up with you, and you slowed down your pace from thereon so the two of you could walk side by side. soobin pointed at the trophy shelf.

"do you think we'll win this year too? i hope we do, yeonjun promised a party at his house if we get placed first."

you gave soobin a reassuring pat on his arm.

"you'll be finneee... if you win, i'll take you out to icecream after."

the boy turned to look at you, a smile creeping into his eyes.

"really?"

"really."

fiddling around with the camera, you brushed the light dust that had collected on the top off. you watched as the particles were swept away, dancing in the dying sunlight.

"we should do this every year."

you turned to look at soobin lying next to you, ice-cream sandwhich in one hand, while the other was tucked behind him, supporting his head. he was looking above, admiring the night sky.

"you mean climb some random apartment stairs to get to rooftops? and risk our lives every season game to see a different view of the city at night?"

soobin let out a small laugh. "yeah, well when you put it that way, it does sound bad." you smiled, lying down with your own ice-cream sandwich, propping an arm under your head.

"...i meant the icecream tradition. you'll be there for my next season game, right?"

now it was your turn to admire the night sky.

"of course. i wouldn't miss it for the world"

grabbing a tissue, you went to work at the camera, cleaning dust from all crevices and corners of the lenses. you were surprised. when was the last time you had even taken a photo on this thing?

"hey bin, what's up?"

grabbing your phone and placing it on your desk, you made yourself comfortable, ready for any facetime tea he would spill.

"ah, y/n..." you watched as he ran a hand through his hair from the other side of the screen. "i don't think... i don't think i'll be able to make it to your birthday this year."

there was a quiet silence. you felt like you'd been punched in the gut.

"if i can ask, um, why?" you fiddled with the hem of your hoodie, waiting for an answer.

"the schedules for the basketball game lineups just came out, and the final season game is happening on your birthday. i just wanted to tell you in case we do win that far and i won't be able to come."

you decided to smile at the way soobin had said just in case they win. the two of you were in your sophomore year, and he hadn't lost a game since middle school.

"yeah, don't worry about it soob. we can still get icecream after."

you felt a turn in your stomach when the boy gave you a relived smile, running a hand through his hair again.

"that's all i wanted to say, i've got to go now"

"hm? why?"

"chem tutoring. these freshman are horrible at science."

adjusting the camera, you zoomed in on random objects in your room. the bookshelf. your water bottle. the lamp. click. click. click.

“did you hear? that senior yeonjun will be throwing a bigger party than last year! are you going y/n?”

you shrugged. “when is it?”

“I think it‘ll be this saturday.”

"can’t. I’ll be out of town”

"for what?

“college. I sent an early application, and one of them reached out and wants me to tour the campus. if i go, I’ll have a guaranteed spot next year, and I probably won’t have to apply to any others.”

your friend let out a low whistle and patted your head.

"well when you put it like that, I guess you really can’t go… but maybe we could get something after the game? i heard the ice cream place was still open”

just like that, a mere sentence felt like a silent punch to the gut.

you looked away from your friends face, scanning the cafeteria unknowingly. you were met with the view of a senior tussling soobin's hair, an arm slung across his neck. you could hear their loud conversation even from where you were sitting.

"you coming to my house after the game? me and the guys we're planning to get some icecream and stay over at my house for the night."

you thought you saw something flash in soobins eye's before he smiled, nodding in agreement.

abruptly standing up, you tossed an apology to your friend about how you wouldn't be able to make it and you had just remembered you had some important emails to send. you didn't want to be around when the words of confirmation came out of his mouth itself.

so much for a flash. the last time you had icecream with him was two years ago.

adjusting the lens once more, you caught your eye on a ticket stuck between two books on your desk. you slowly pulled it out. it was blue and grey, your school colors. there was a hole punched on the bottom, indicating it was used.

"and it's the last two minutes of the game, and hybe high is in the lead! if they can make this basket, it will guarantee a regional win for the school. oh! there goes hyunjin... passing to donghyuck who... also just passed to eric who, jeez, passed to soobin...! look at that! look at that!! we are in the last minute everyone, and if captain of hybe high makes this basket, like i said they will be the regional winners!!"

you let the sound of the announcer wash over you, leaning forward in your seat to watch the game.

for some reason you kept coming back. to this gym. to the basketball games.

to soobin.

it had been over a year since the two of you had really talked, the last icecream run being well over three years ago (a promise to go before your birthday was conveniently broken), and the last facetime was to ask for calculus answers.

you knew that you had faded out of the life of the star basketball player.

you just couldn't accept it.

"and soobin gets closer to the rim... oh! it looks like taehyun from bighit acadmy is a pretty good blocker... anyways look at him go! we have twenty second left, and even if he doesn't score hybe is still in for a win... okay, okAY?? WAIT WHAT!! WHAT!!"

there's a loud screech of the intercom that mixes with the cheers of the crowd. you found yourself on your feet, fists pumping in the air in celebration alongside the students in the bleachers despite yourself.

"AND CHOI SOOBIN SECURES THE PLACE OF HYBE HIGH IN DISTRICT REGIONALS!! ONCE AGAIN THE ACE HAS TOPPED EVERYONE AND BRANG HIS TEAM TO VICTORY!!"

you held the ticket tenderly. on the backside was stamped senior, a marker that counted as a discount for the upperclassmen that wanted to watch the game. flipping it over again, you felt a wave of something hit your stomach as you took in the grey and blue.

"hey y/n, wait up!"

you whipped around at the sound of an all too familiar voice.

there, stood soobin, in all his six foot and one inch glory.

"you.." he panted, hands on his knees as if he had run a million miles. "you walk too fast. what's the rush? you were cheering for me so loudly."

there was that feeling again. of being punched in the gut. by that invisible hand that seemed to favor your stomach whenever soobin was around.

"ah, you know... just getting home."

you tried not to stare too long. soobin had grown, matured. the baby face he donned as a middle schooler was gone, only his dimples a reminder of the childhood smiles you shared together.

"you're not... going anywhere? going straight home?"

you gave him a small smile. "...yeah. i'm going soon, so i really need to pack. good game though! you really did good this time around."

"going soon... to where y/n? are you taking a road trip without me?" you sensed a wary tone under his teasing words. three years apart, and this was the news you would have to tell him. curse the fates.

"yup! im, ah... moving cross country. i got accepted a while back."

you could already see the question in his eyes. how far? which major? on campus or near?

why didn't you tell me?

there was a moment of silence while you rocked back and forth on your heels. soobin pushed his hair back, looking into your eyes.

the heaviness of a thousand unanswered questions weighed in the air.

"so... want to catch up over icecream?"

as you held the basketball ticket from senior year, you realized three things.

one: you were the sentimental type. you clung onto old memories and good times like they were life jackets, keeping you afloat in the mundanity of your new life.

two: you didn't really like the idea of always moving on. it seemed so easy in the story books, that after a couple years the queen goes back to her ordinary life, the king appoints a new knight, and the princess finds someone she truly loved. but was there a time where you would just stop caring? was there a day you would wake up and didn’t think about what could have happened, the if only’s and what if’s?

three: you couldn't move on. you prided yourself on being able to move faster, walking a pace before everyone else. life was a journey, and you were going places. quite literally. you were floating when everyone was sinking.

but you were only floating because you had your life jacket.

...

things came and went. kids grew into adults. that was just how life was. people grew apart, sometimes closer, and it was all expected.

you clutched the ticket in your hand, the end slightly wrinkled by your fingers.

you just never thought you would have to face it yourself.

hybe's latest trademark applications are interesting developments for the enhaverse!

it seems that hybe is preparing to set up a new trilogy for enhypen, which also marks the end of the border trilogy. the new trilogy seems to be called "dark moon".

all information compiled from @//heeseungcokr on twitter.

as of three days ago (july 26), hybe applied for a series of trademarks, including the dark moon trilogy.

this is a screenshot of recent trademark applications from hybe entertainment. it includes a patent for "dark moon: the grey city", "dark moon: the blood altar", and a title in hangul that can be translated to either "dark moon: the foundation of the moon" or "dark moon: the moon's judgement" (translation credit to u/LoveofLearningKorean on reddit).

where have we seen the grey city and the blood altar before? in the music video for drunk-dazed and txt's magic island.

why are we so sure that these trademarks relate to the enhaverse? looking at the descriptions of enha’s drunk-dazed and fever music videos, we see the sentence “dark moon with enhypen”.

trademarks were also registered for 7fates, red marble and chakho, although those were under a different firm, so i am not sure if they're related. 7fates seems likely to be enha related, while chakho seems to be a military unit from the joseon dynasty - people who were skilled with bows and arrows, which could be related to the enhaverse, since the "shooting an arrow" choreo from given-taken was an allusion to their past life (credit to u/scionhypen on reddit).

if you want to check out the trademarks for yourself, here's the link! just type "hybe" in the top search bar and filter by descending application date in the sidebar on the left.

im so excited to find out how they were all turned i think once they get their memories back we'll probably get some flashback scenes about their time at the orphanage cos that period of time in their life is so unclear in the timeline even up till now.

also i have so many other qns, some of them we can kind of guess the answer but it would nice to get canon confirmation on them:

1) how old are these guys and how old is sooha

2) where in the timeline are we what year is it

3) have they all met before and if so where and when (at the kingdom? as princess/knights?)

4) were they turned before being brought to the orphanage or after

5) where did all of them come from what were their family backgrounds before they turned

6) where did solon come from who brought him to the orphanage, when did he come to the orphanage and how does werewolf/vampire turning work

7) why does the orphanage exist, who owns it and who burned it down

3) what even is the blood altar and what is it for

9) what's the origin of the age-old rivalry between vamps and werewolves how did it come about

7) how long is this whole timeline exactly how many timelines are we living in

oof this got long but asdfgh there's just so much they have left to answer i hope they take their time to explore all of this haha

- dark moon anon

yeah, i really wanna know what happened in the orphanage and what happened to them... cause the premise of the story is how the boys don't have any memories of what happened to them prior to the orphanage (?) so they might've assumed that they were always like this.

that's a lotta questions but im gonna say my own takes for them because.... up until now the events prior to the blood alter have been pretty hazy (under the cut)

1) i have no idea. assuming that sooha is a normal girl who was born with these strengths, she's 15-16 (i think they mentioned her being a sophomore). unfortunately, the boys aren't that clear

2) i think it's set in some present/modern time but we don't have any specific years. we also don't know if the dark moon universe's time-passing works differently than ours

3) i keep thinking that the reason why the boys are so attracted to sooha is because of some deja vu, so i think they did meet in a past life. maybe sooha was the woman in white we see in drunk-dazed and the boys were her servants (in the up version)

4) that i have no idea, i always thought they were transformed at the orphanage but i could be wrong

5) i don't know that one either

6) ok this one i was discussing last night with @many-gay-magpies. if the boys were transformed at the orphanage, we believed that solon was just a one-time experiment to see if they can make a hybrid and it worked. but if they weren't transformed at the orphanage, i don't have any ideas for that

7) i have no ideas for this one either

8) i don't know for this one either, but it sounds like they're making a sacrifice

9) i don't know— maybe a vampire killed a werewolf or vice versa, and ever since then they couldn't trust each other?

10) the music videos and albums have always been hinting at alternate timelines but we don't know which one is the "original" timeline... so maybe dark moon: the blood alter is a new timeline created considering how the boys don't remember their past very well..... and maybe dark moon: the grey city (if they're using it for enhypen— they'll most likely use it for hybe jp because their universes overlap) is another alternate timeline
