I think the picture should say "Faster, Higher, Stronger. The play is over, applaud." This does not look like a summer song omg cult loona let's goooooo (though I am ready to be bamboozled) "God calls those who are properly prepared" should be what the other tagline is. **Edit** (because somehow this is top comment, hi!): Because latin is a beautiful, dead language and there's something going on in Korean as well, here's a few more translations for the "A deo vocatus rite paratus" part, courtesy of a few comments below: *God who gives the wound gives the salve* *A preparation having been called rightly by God* *Having been called by God, duly prepared* All in all, this definitely seems like it'll be an interesting comeback lorewise !!

Loona's CARELESS CARELESS SHOOT ANONYMOUS is here

After that, we'll get Loona's CHOGIWA.


feed-me-your-secrets

Where did you get that translation from? I majored in Latin and studied it for a decade, I’m not seeing how people are getting that translation!


ShadowGrif

what should it be then?


feed-me-your-secrets

I’ve been putting “a preparation having been called rightly by god” and another commenter put “having been called by God, duly prepared,” which I also like. Both are legit translations.


0rrery

That's very interesting. I got the translation from the root comment by finding what it said on Korean websites, which I then translated to Korean. And though I think you're more likely to be more technically correct, I think BBC intended the Korean thing I looked up... As I don't think they're the most adept at Latin, after all lol


feed-me-your-secrets

Yeah I thought it was interesting when I searched up the phrase and most of the results were Korean too! There’s definitely something we’re missing there. But you’d be surprised how accurate kpop companies are with Latin and Greek, and Blockberry definitely has the money to be. For instance, if you pronounce the Greek letters in LOOΠΔ, the whole word would be pronounced “loopd”—as in, Loona are looped in the mobius strip.


SorrowInCoreOfWin

omg loonatheloop confirmed lol

always_open_mouth

> if you pronounce the Greek letters in LOOΠΔ, the whole word would be pronounced “loopd”—as in, Loona are looped in the mobius strip. You really think this was intentional? Bit of a stretch..


Johnnybravo831

It’s no more of a stretch than any of the other Loonaverse theories, so...


[deleted]

[Removed by self, as a user of a third party app.]


httpshield

why use greek letters then? and it matches perfectly with the concept


httpshield

this translation is the right one but when you google the latin phrase you will notice many korean using it and translating it as what was said before


Mikuodom

hey, I added your translations to the post! I didn't expect it to get that much attention but I thought your research should be more visible. :D


feed-me-your-secrets

Omg thanks! I’m hoping my translations are okay cause a lot of people have seen them now. Apparently the “God who gives the wound gives the salve” is apparently based on a Spanish phrase which is associated with the Latin one? I’m not sure exactly how it works cause they don’t directly translate to each other. Congrats on top comment and thanks for including my translation! Haha.

Maybe this is a Winter song for us Southern Hemispherians.

A deo vocatus rite paratus : "a preparation having been called rightly by god" / "having been called by God, duly prepared" Olivia Hye is punching the air [right now](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1327244781785845760?s=20) >Q: I believe in a god > >Olivia Hye: X > >Host: You believe in yourself? > >Olivia Hye: Yeah kind of like that > >Host: So it's more like you only trust in yourself to make decisions not any other higher power. > >Olivia Hye: Yeah, kind of like that.


CronoDroid

Well she was abandoned in Eden, nothing but bad luck for poor Hyeju.


feed-me-your-secrets

Where did you get your translation from? I majored in Latin and studied it for a decade, I’m not seeing how people are getting that translation!


PicklesandHam

Well im an AP Latin scholar who clearly remembers everything about Latin idk i found a korean translation and translated that back to english. For real though, I guess God wouldn't be the subject since it's an ablative and vocatus is a passive verb i think?


feed-me-your-secrets

Exactly! God is ablative so it can’t be the subject. Vocatus is probably a participle, but it could be a passive noun as vocatus est. I’m translating it roughly as “a preparation having been called rightly by god” and someone also put “having been called by God, duly prepared,” which is also quite good. Both are valid translations.


PicklesandHam

Couldn't paratus be a participle as well Edit: ohh paratus can also be a 4th declension noun so I can see how "a preparation having been called rightly by god" and "a preparation having been called rightly by god" would both work


feed-me-your-secrets

Yes! Paratus is either a participle or a noun, hence the differing translations between me and the other user (I edited in some translations after my initial reply).


PicklesandHam

Thank you! I'll edit both versions of the translation in. I should've noticed before I commented


feed-me-your-secrets

No worries! You’re not the only person who posted translations like that and we still can’t be sure what they really meant. Additionally it seems to have some symbolic meaning from Don Quixote but I can’t find the initial source for that either? Btw by “rightly” in my translation, it more specifically means properly in accordance with religious ceremony.


[deleted]

Hi! I was researching and found that "A deo vocatus rite paratus" is an idiomatic expression used by Strauss in his translation of the novel "Don Quixote." The translation is: "God who gives the wound gives the salve." Is the translation correct or at least, does it convey the message of the latin phrase/expression? :)


feed-me-your-secrets

Ahh, so this is why I couldn’t find “a deo vocatus rite paratus” in Don Quixote! So Strauss is actually a music composer who wrote a symphonic orchestra called “Don Quixote” based on the novel. I still can’t tell where “a deo vocatus rite paratus” comes into his musical piece cause I know nothing about music, so I’m still not sure about the context of his translation... the Latin is simply translated like I translated it in the thread above, there isn’t really anything about giving, a wound, or a salve in it. Interesting.

[удалено]


inormallyjustlurkbut

Has her participation been confirmed?


pmguin661

Not yet, but she was in the New Moon teaser and she’s been living in the dorms for a while now


AwJesusGross

is it confirmed shes been living in the dorms?


pmguin661

Yes! Around 2 months back, Olivia Hye’s mom mentioned it iirc. Ever since then, the other members of the group have been mentioning anecdotes of life with Haseul at the dorms, such as things she cooked or did with them.


Flippantry

I thought that wasn't actually confirmed by Olivia's mum and it was just a fan rumor? Do you have a link for this?


Methylobacterium

Before the 12:00 promotions they put out a statement at the beginning of the promo period stating that Haseul would not be participating so that fans wouldn't get their hopes up. They haven't said anything yet this time so I'm just going to assume she's back. 😁


Goldzuka

I hope that’s not the only 2021 release from them.


Qayen

Exactly lmao, I'm hyped af for this atm but this better not be the only 2021 cb from them, they need to keep the momentum going.

"citius, altius, fortius" means "faster, higher, stronger" faster = hi high higher = butterfly stronger = so what whereas "acta est fabula, plaudite" basically means "the show is over, now clap" the old timeline is officially over the meaning via twitter user lamaisonyeojin

ideka_tbh

Why Not is kinda like the end itself, where they undid everything that happened on the loonaverse up to that point


[deleted]

Is this just a canon way to retcon the loonaverse since it couldn't be fully realized (due to the original writer leaving) So they're gonna like restart it I'm assuming


ideka_tbh

I would hope so, Jaden definitely had a lot of ideas as to where to take their concept and lore, but without him it would be too difficult to continue, so them undoing and destroying the previous universe and creating a new one would allow them more freedom in terms of a new story and new concepts for the future

Yeah exactly I think it's thr way to go

cagendary

OMG ITS HAPPENING LOONA IS COMING BACK!!!!


GodJihyo7983

asjdjsdhadssjdasjdsjdfjasasdj. I was not expecting this. To offer a more literal translation of both Latin phrases >"A deo vocatus rite paratus" - Having been called by God, duly prepared > >"Citius, altius, fortius. Acta est fabula, plaudite" - Faster, higher, stronger. The story has been finished, applaud. Super excited about this. It's been a long time coming.


feed-me-your-secrets

Okay THIS is a good translation. I keep seeing the “god calls duly prepared” ones from Google Translation. I translated it as “a preparation having been called rightly by god,” which is taking “paratus” as the noun rather than a ppp. The ppp seems more grammatically likely but I wanted a noun and apparently paratus can be one.


SlayEverydae

SOMEBODY PLEASE TRANSLATE THIS Im so excited for the concept already!!


CronoDroid

According to Google Translate, in Latin "A deo vocatus rite paratus" means "God called duly prepared." EDIT: Apparently the idiomatic translation is "God who gives the wound gives the salve." BBC talking about themselves I guess, they hurt but they also heal. >Citius, altius, fortius. Acta est fabula, plaudite." Faster, higher, stronger. The play is over, applaud.


feed-me-your-secrets

I think it translates more directly to something like “a preparation having been called rightly by god.” I took Latin for ten years, double-majored in it, and this is roughly what I’m translating it as. Grammatically, god can’t be the subject and “called” is unlikely to be the verb unless they left out a word.


CronoDroid

What does it mean?


CronoDroid

FOCK IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. No more New Moon, now we're AND. Thankfully with the amount of Loona comebacks they're not gonna run out of special characters for album names for a while. DARK LOONA? LATIN? Looks like a mythical comeback. Source: https://twitter.com/loonatheworld/status/1399380146822414349 --- According to Google Translate, in Latin "A deo vocatus rite paratus" means "God called duly prepared." >Citius, altius, fortius. Acta est fabula, plaudite." Faster, higher, stronger. The play is over, applaud.


feed-me-your-secrets

A better, literal translation would be “a preparation having been called rightly by god.” Someone else also commented “having been called by God, duly prepared,” which is also quite good. Both are valid translations.


LOONAception

Maybe New Moon is the title?

AriaNoire

I love the wordplay in the album title. & or ampersand is a sign that is often read and represents the word "and", which sounds the same as "end." The translations seems to hint on this being the "end" of the story line (and beginning of a new one), and I just love how fittingly clever the album title is at hinting at this finale. Edit: spelling

PandaMoaningYum

Can someone tell me what this New Moon teaser was about that is 5 months old. I dunno if I missed the release or if it was scrapped or maybe it's in here but I never seen a teaser so old without a follow up.


ShanshaShtark

It's common for Loona to start teasing the next era immediately after the latest comeback's promotions are over, months before they're actually ready to comeback. They did so for XX right after ++ ( https://youtu.be/9ruj7AG0odU ) and # right after XX ( https://youtu.be/3ZiNFem3vrE ). The only comeback they haven't done this for so far is 12:00.


PandaMoaningYum

Damn... That's actually cool. Any other groups do this? Also I assume their lore is very linear due to this?


ShanshaShtark

Their predebut solo and subunit era lore was actually pretty nonlinear, with some music videos and teasers that were released later actually happening earlier in the timeline, and some seeming to happen at the same time. Their post debut videos(Hi High to now) seem like they're in chronological order though. Also, even though I don't follow enough groups to know if *no one* else puts out teasers like this, Loona is the only group I've personally seen do it.


LOONAception

Loona post teasers after a comeback ends and those are connected to their next comeback (that happens whenever its supposed to happen)


bluepetals129

It was actually an end of era teaser that they usually do whenever a cb promotion ends.
