more title word splatter
Putting to words some of my digging about my title problem as I go.
I started out with reverberation, since that has the 'feel' that I'm going for, something carried out and also mirrored/found as it continues. And I stumbled across these two phrases that mean about the same thing.
concatenation of events
causal nexus
"A situation in which the solution to one problem creates a chain of problems, each making it more difficult to solve the original one"
Which this feels close but I need to figure out a way to convey this that doesn't mean that it's explicitly about problems. Sometimes there are problems but sometimes it's just.. a thing, neutral that becomes either a problem or a solution, later.
Though I could use concatenation or the Latin concatenātiō as a title for the 3 comics as a collective, like Concatenation Trilogy.
Concatenation meaning
"A series of links united; a series or order of things depending on each other, as if linked together; a chain, a succession."
All the stories are interlinked because they take place in the same universe at different points in time, and all the choices made will show up in the other comics (Pretroians being the least as it's the oldest in the timeline)
But then I started thinking if the theme of all of them is going to be the ripple effect then I feel it's out of place to name Talon's story about that something related to that. So now I go back to naming the comic about her about the state of belonging in multiple states and yet neither and you'd think there'd be a word for this but for the life of me I can't find this.
So I thought of looking up dissonance and dissecting that like Dissonant Harmony or something to that effect, but that felt too flowery on it's own for a title and a little too abstract.
Then I thought, maybe I'll start with the word Hybrid and check out it's origins and see if I can dissect something from that. Latin is Hibrida, and has an alternate form of Ibrida
And.... I really like Ibrida.
What stuck out to me was that it starts with an I just as Talon's last name does, Iskan, which was just... made up sounds and I didn't establish a meaning to it. Her last name has gone through like three different changes but that was the name I stuck with and could never seem to change even if I wasn't sure I liked it or not. Then I thought.. what if I made 'hybrid' or 'mongrel' the meaning of her last name all along.
I don't want to title the comic Iskan, but Ibrida sounds like it'd fit like a title...
When I started writing this I didn't think I'd actually find a solution but, this is being written 'live' as I dig through words. It feels really anti-climatic that I'm just kinda figuring out something so simple all along. But I may re-name all my instances of 'cycles' to Ibrida and see how I feel about it. But, this might finally stick for once.
