"Director's Cut" Tumblr Meme

A few days ago, I reblogged an ask meme on Tumblr for followers to request the "director's commentary" of my fanfiction, and I got a couple requests that I thought would be fun to repost over here too... !

Verecunda asked: Okay, for the director's commentary meme: ⭐ for In Hoc Modo Incidemus, please! :)

Yay! Thank you bby!!! :D

I think my main thoughts for this story have been pretty similar since I started writing it. It’s kinda hard to figure out what might be going on in Esca’s head most of the time, especially when they go to find the Eagle, and I kinda worry I’m not doing him justice! Like he’s a very mysterious and hidden character, and in the book we really only know what he tells Marcus about himself, which isn’t a whole lot even tho they’re so close. That’s mostly why my update schedule is insanely slow, I just have a hard time figuring out what he’s thinking on their journey. I’m definitely finding it interesting to write such a mysterious character and figure out what he’s thinking tho! I have a new appreciation for Esca and all he does.

As I’ve been writing this, I’ve also discovered some things about Esca that I relate to that I probably wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. He’s very loyal, and I kinda like to think I’d also be the loyal sidekick character in a story like this! If only I had more cool adventures in my life… !

-Thank you anon!!! <3

So basically I wrote this after I read The Silver Branch for the first time, and I just had a lot of feelings about the character Anthonius. He was one of my faves, and I thought he and Justin kinda had some good chemistry going, and they had some very nice moments together. This was just a purely self indulgent story tbh, I just thought they’d be a cute and interesting pair to write about!!

Also, the title is actually from a line of one of my favorite songs (Animal Life by Shearwater), and it just gave me some good Anthonius vibes! Seemed very appropriate for his character arc in the book :D


I had quite a lot of fun getting to talk about my stories and my writing thoughts for this! Maybe I should start giving commentary like this more often on here and just talk about my writing more... I think it'd be fun anyway!
