*quietly splits chapter 5 into 2 chapters*
Added 2016-12-07 15:53:09 +0000 UTC
I'm gonna try to keep this as quiet as possible and see who notices - which will probably be everyone, so whatever. Chapter 5 is just getting out of control, and we're hitting a good spot to do so!
So, to address any immediate concerns that this probably creates: I am definitely NOT taking a chapter break like I usually do. I might use the split as an update to buy some time to produce some pages and try to get ahead again, but that'll be it.
However, I am stumped as to what to call this sudden new chapter that has appeared. What should I call it? I've been researching bible verses about war, since it's just the massive fight with Brody, but so far nothing has really clicked.
Do you guys have any ideas?
EDIT: Yoko suggested "A Chorus of Echoes" and I really really like it...
"Spare the rod, spoil the monster", "Scales and slime", "It takes Wu to tango", or maybe a Bruce Lee classic "Enter the Dragon"?

Depending on how badly you've spanked Brody by the end of this chapter, perhaps "The Other Cheek"?

What about Judges 5:8? War at the Gates

Ah man, that was one of my first inclinations, too! Adding it back to the list...

Cloth interwoven with gold (Psalm 45:13) Nobody expects such a poetic title... and yet, it fits.

To be fair, even though the rewrite blossomed into a huge battle, you both did a fabulous job of bringing it to life. I was actually thinking, reading it yesterday, that you guys really had a knack both for pacing and for really building and keeping the continuity of the mood throughout. It turned it into a really well-choreographed piece of work.
And... I am no help on names. :( Could call it the broken circle. The one mage called the circle that let drath through a broken circle, and Brody's circle is obviously REALLY broken now. Too lame?

There's mentions of the Leviothan and Behemoth towards the end of Job, which some people think are in reference to dinosaurs but get pretty dragon-y at times. The hilarious out of context Job 41:28 "The arrow cannot make him flee" seems appropriate.

What about Psalms 78:45 "...and frogs, which destroyed them."

For chapter title... er... everything about dragons is in revelations and I assume that's not a connection to Wu that you want.
I'm thinking something about his gold color scheme. Here's biblical references to gold, maybe you'll find something appropriate?

Well, if you're going biblical there's always the verse in Eccesiasties "A time for war". Also in II Samuel, King David picks a group of soldiers commonly referred to as the "Mighty Men of Valor". You could repurpose it as Warriors of Valor or something like that.

That would be Jacob wrestling with an angel, and the hip is dislocated.

How about chapter 5 name, part I & II?

"Impure Spirits" could be used as references to Revelation 16:12-14, Brody, and, in a sense, Thistle. That's the best Bible reference I came up with. Non-Bible ideas include "Let Slip the Frogs of War," "Amphibious Assault," and "Toad Ya this Would Be Rough."

Also, take as many breaks as you need! Megtokyo got into YEARS between updates and kept its fandom. Honestly? I think you should consider a scheduled break every two or three months. Make "fan art week" an official thing four or six times a year.

Split it into three and declare you're doing it "Peter Jackson style". End of problem.

What about a verse from that segment where what's his face fights with god and breaks his hip? #MostDescriptive
