Inception 30 Day Challenge
Day 1 - Favorite Scene
Tumblr media
Look, I’m an absolute sucker for the “And I will lead them on a merry chase” scene in the hotel between Arthur and Eames. The banter! The little smiles! The fact that Arthur has got to be practically sitting on Eames for that positioning to work!
BUT
I present to you instead: “This, Ariadne, is a kick.”
Arthur’s utter ease while sitting next to Eames - not a scrap of wariness - he's comfortable enough to lounge and put his attention on his notes.
Eames’ low, amused, tone which Arthur has clearly heard enough that it doesn't give him any warning! (ROWR)
The utter economy of motion needed to tip Arthur’s chair. This is something Eames has been planning for some time! He's been in position, waiting, and Ariadne just gave him the perfect moment...
The efficient and quick way Arthur catches himself - really, this is a fairly well-honed physical movement if you look at it. There's very little flailing, just a shift of his weight and a bit of momentum from his limbs to get him back to balance. (also ROWR)
The LOOK Arthur gives him and the answering smirk from Eames - omg the implied relationship, past and/or present, that means Arthur is not reaching for a weapon and Eames knew he wouldn’t!
This! This is history! This is the body language of two people who have known each other for a very long time, who know each other very well…
Ahem. Yes. This.

Inceptiversary Day Six: A headcanon about the dreamshare team.
@inception30daychallenge
Hmm. How about this: Karaoke Night.
Dom only sings when he’s drunk, and he has a soft spot for 80s torch songs. Also an unexpectedly soulful voice.
Eames loves 70s punk, but he’s not above a little 90s britpop. And the night is never complete until he belts out at least one epic love song for… someone. (someone = Arthur, of course)
Arthur, if Ariadne twists his arm, is incredible at Emo classics of the early 2000s. Like move over, Gerard Way. He loves classic rock, though his favorites tend to be outside his vocal range. He’ll still try his best.
Ariadne does teen pop. Like, any and all. And she goes ALL OUT. Tales and legends are still told amongst the crew of the night she performed her solo rendition of Everybody (Backstreet’s Back), complete with dance moves. And, unlike Dom, she didn’t even have to get drunk to do it.
Yusuf is too shy to sing most of the time. But he’ll bust out a Beatles song once in a while. He likes Paul’s songs best, but his singing voice is pure George.
Saito is a pure 50s style crooner. His Elvis is legendary, and his Roy Orbison is a stone cold killer. Many a drink has been sent his way after a performance.
And, if you want to include him, Robert also loves doing 90s britpop. In fact, he and Eames used to enjoy duetting on a few songs. But then, some fool (it was Cobb) made the mistake of asking them who the best band from that period was. As soon as Robert said the word Oasis, it seemed that their duet days were over. (the correct answer, according to Eames, is the Stone Roses btw)

Day 22: Your favourite quote.
"You said we'd grow old together."
"But we did. We did, you don't remember?"
The way their arc has been unfulfilled the whole time because this promise to grow old wasn't kept, and the way Cobb finally recognizes that even though their time together wasn't in the real world, it was still meaningful, and he can finally move on.

Day 04 of @inception30daychallenge: Eames’ favourite curse word.
I thought about this for a while, and the one I kept coming back to was the old-but-gold, C U Next Tuesday. 
Eames saves this word up for special occasions. It’s what he says when he wants to be scathing, shocking, vicious - knock someone down a peg. It’s a term of endearment he calls his mates over a beer and poker, and they lovingly call him one right back. It’s the word he uses to playfully replace other lyrics while he’s singing to himself as he’s cooking on the stove and feeling laddish. It’s what he curses under his breath for minor inconveniences when he gets a paper cut or stubs his toe. It’s always satisfying.
The word is efficient, versatile and adaptable, just like him.

Title: in medias res
Summary:  Eames’ second novel is giving him a run for his money, but it’s nice to have company. A shameless Coffee Shop AU, for the road.
Words: 500
My FINAL drabble (!!!) for week 6 of AELDWS. The prompt was Endings and Beginnings, and the genre was Any. So you knowwww I'm going with the most self-indulgent premise possible.
Thank you to everyone who read and voted this year, as well as to my fellow authors, who made it so exciting to compete! As a first-time participant, I had no idea what to expect; I couldn't have anticipated just how much fun I would have! And a huge, HUGE thanks to Mousie @iamanonniemouse who was the all-star organizer of this whole event. You were extremely welcoming, and your encouragement every week was such a gift!

@inception30daychallenge Inception 30 Day Challenge -
Day 24 - Recast some Inception roles! What other actors can you picture playing the characters in Inception?
I had fun making an Ocean's 8 version of the cast!
Dom - Indira Varma. Maybe no one can match Leo's slightly unhinged Dad energy, but I think she could play a mean Dom Cobb.
Tumblr media
Mal - I had such a hard time picking a Mal for this. I'm going to go with Dev Patel because I just watched the Green Knight and I'd love to see him in a femme fatale role. I think he has the range.
Tumblr media
Arthur - Arthur Arthur Arthur. Who else can portray that same level of youthful vulnerability and sheer badass competence than Lucy Liu? Also, she looks great in a tailored suit.
Tumblr media
Eames - Cate Blanchett can absolutely pull off that "louche" (as Tom Hardy put it) old money ex-pat vibe.
Tumblr media
Ariadne - I've been loving Aidan Gallagher in Umbrella Academy and I think he could embody Ariadne's wide eyed curiosity and old soul.
Tumblr media
Yusuf - Mindy Kaling - friendly, smart, comfortable, and a little bit mercenary.
Tumblr media
Robert - this was the toughest, besides Mal. Something about Cillian Murphy is just so ineffable. What about Mackenzie Davis?
Tumblr media
And for Saito, I couldn't pick anyone but the legendary Michelle Yeoh.

Inception 30 Day Challenge - Day 31 - A letter to Inception fandom
Dear Inception fandom,
Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and headcanons to spare! Over the course of the last few months, I've gone from a fandom lurker to someone who feels brave enough to share my own art, post my own meta, and participate in fic readalongs--and it's all because of you :) It's been such a joy to hang out with all of you during my first inceptiversary. Here's to dreaming up more impossible things!
<3 <3 <3

Inception 30 Day Challenge - Day 11 - Yusuf’s favourite cuisine
Yusuf thoroughly enjoys molecular cuisine (don't call it molecular gastronomy to his face, he will tell you in no uncertain terms that that refers to the scientific study and not the cooking techniques 😆) and occasionally indulges in experimentation himself.
He has a hidden stash of cooking tools specifically for it - sachets of additives, molds, syringes, etc - and can easily while away an entire evening deconstructing his food into new shapes and textures 😁
After all, it's food and chemistry, two of his favourite subjects combined!

Inceptiversary Day Twenty: A headcanon about your favourite pairing.
@inception30daychallenge
Arthur and Eames have actually been together for years prior to the Fischer Job. Perhaps they met independently from dreamshare, or maybe it’s as it was in Presque Vu. Either way, it’s a solid rock of a relationship. Even as the Cobbs had their issues, A/E remained strong. They would meet up regularly between jobs, doing long distance for all the other days they had to be apart. Cobb has no idea how they do it.
Tumblr media
The answer, obviously, is keeping things fun. And plenty of healthy communication. Not to mention fantastic sex. This last point is immeasurably enhanced by the first two, of course.

Day 30: A self-rec! (anything from art to a funny Tumblr post you made!)
I'm really new to the fandom so all I have is some (read: as many as I'm allowed to put) incorrect Inception quotes from the incorrect quotes generator.
