#our inception

[thenwhatthefukcisthis]

was rewatching inception the other day and the fact that shade!mal comments at the painting (you know, the one an artist painted of his gay lover) “hmmmmm looks like Arthur’s taste”, suggesting every innuendos there is, actually so funny cause, that’s actually dom?? That’s dom having a conversation with his own damn subconscious??? It’s not like a married couple commenting on their pathetic single friend, it’s just different parts of dom arguing with each other??

like my man should be scrambling to get back to his kids, try to shrug off this little itty bitty thing called idk his MURD*R CHARGES , and get his head back in the damn game but no! HE will take his sweet time coming to terms with the fact that may be, just may be, his best mate, his best friend in the whole wide world, the guy he has known in and out for the past two years, is actually very gay and very desperately in love with the worst possible thief there is.

okay but the fact that in episode TWO rick was wearing leather and nipple clamps, getting walked on a leash by a gnome with a boner, and some people argued that he's straight for the next 10 years is hilarious. besties i do not think that was a necessary diversion in incepting mrs. pancakes actually

TOP 10 MOVIE FANDOMS ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS, SINGLE CATEGORY TAGS ONLY VERSION (2009-2022)

If you want to see the Movie bar chart with the multi-category fandom tags (such as Marvel and DCU) included, please check this post.

To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Movies Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, manually filtered for fandoms belonging in only one category and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

In 2010, X-Men (Movieverse) was used as a catch-all tag for all X-Men movies. It was replaced with the tag X-Men (Movies) in 2011-2012, and then brought back to the Movies category list again in 2013. I’ve decided to use X-Men (Movies)’s 2011-2012 data for X-Men (Movieverse) since they’re tags for the same purpose and so X-Men (Movieverse)‘s 2010 data would be reflected in the bar chart.

The X-Men (Movies) tag dropped down to half its number of fanworks in 2013 after  X-Men (Movieverse) was brought back. It still remained in the Movies category until 2015, after which it was removed & replaced with X-Men (Original Timeline Movies) instead.

If you don't see a movie franchise on the chart, it may be because the franchise only has a multicategory tag and no Movies category only tag. (E.g. Thor (Movies), HP, variations of Star Trek)

Fandom tags that are no longer in the Movies category tag as of posting this are left out of the bar chart race. These tags are usually either miscategorized or already have other tags referring to the same fandom.

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Arthur/Eames (Inception) fics rec

Hi!

I am probably 14 years late but I have always wanted to create a rec for fanfictions about Arthur & Eames, which is one of my favorite pairing tbh. I have read the fics over 10 years ago so apologies if some of the sum ups are a bit blurry. I did not put all the fandom classics but the ones that I absolutely adore and which stuck with me all those years.

Buckle up, here is my top ten:

Ex-aequo In our line of work by enjambement (16k), incredible storyline, made me ache all over

Ex-aequo These frameworks labelled home (9k) by mruk - the most underrated ever. Won't tell you what this one is about just go read it

2. We Can Do This Until We Pass Out (29k) by desires - GO READ IT NOW. Chav!Eames, which pays hommage to young Tom Hardy, such a penting, innit

3. Skin Deep (17k) by Starlingthefool - a tattoo shop AU to end ALL tattoo shop AU. Absolutely amazing. Loved the portrayal of both, loved the twist, loved the tattoos ideas. Made me wish at 15 I could have some. Spoiler alert: years later, I DO.

4. I've got nothing to do today but smile (the only living boy in New York) (20k) by gyzym - loved the pacing and Arthur’s passion for baking when stressed out, but could not really relate with his burn out. 10 years later tho??? can totally relate and this fic is one of my inspiration to open a coffeeshop

5. My Lungs Are Fresh and Yours To Keep (18k) by black Betty 26 - Did I almost tattoo the title of this fic on my body? Yes. Yes I almost did. Band!AU, super sexy Arthur, great tension between Arthur and Eames, LOVED IT.

6. Rough Trade (23k) by whiskyrunner - warning some strong internalized homophobia but damn the sex is hot and the alchemy between Arthur and Eames is incredible

7. Late night phone call (15k) by sparkledark - this one holds a special place for me because when I was REALLY feeling down, I thought about it and was okay in this one fanfic when Eames was feeling v low he called a suic*de hotline and everything went better and that's why I called one and yup it probably saved my life. so kudos to this pic and the characterization of Eames is to die for.

8. Towards Zero (20k) by Mirabella - great plot, with a twist at the end, I read it like 10 times

9. In Our Kingdom by the Shore (10k) by Alezane - if you love Gothic retelling, the little mermaid and great writing? This fic is for you. One of my absolute favs.

10. Incipit (9k) by the hoyden - cute, made me want to be a writer

Short ones I love dearly but could not be part of my top 10:

Laying Claim (13k) by laceymcbain - sorry but protective Eames??? yes please feed it to me (all the other fics of this author are great!)

I can't extinguish the fire though I've tried (7k) by aprettyaway - if you have firefighters fantasy (don't lie, we all do), read this one. Cute and funny and HOT (pun intended)

Two Steps Towards Make Believe (4k) by ifeelbetter - short and cute, if you have insomnia rub your feet with magnesium oil it truly helps

nothing we could judge (12k) by green_postit - a fic about Eames and Sherlock in college. Their banter is everything and they are super smart in the fic, taught me new psy concepts and got a brain boner

Trivium (5k) by thefourofswords - academia and philosophy??? that's my love language baby

Enjoy and do not hesitate to reach out if you want more recs!

Accidentally made myself important at church and now it’s biting me in the ass

[mister-eames]

thinking of inception and the way we make marks out of each other and ourselves in our dreams and our projections - like maybe when we love someone we etch combined initials into trees, into wet cement, maybe. maybe our projections drink your favourite drink, there are street signs with your favourite song, everyone wears your favourite cardigan.

[thenwhatthefukcisthis]

so we had our general election the day before (and a good party won!) and one TV channel decided to show inception. FREAKING. INCEPTION.

imagine watching inception *for the first time* amidst the chaos of election results and million of advertisements in between

I’m wheezing

i wish I could translate the Sinhalese description for the movie to English with its humour intact but unfortunately the sarcasm will be gone 😂

I’m sure none of the first timers got the story 😂

Just Leave a Comment Fest Roundup

I definitely read and commented on more than these, but I tracked the @justleaveacommentfest theme day fics, so here they are (apologies if any of the tagged users are incorrect, I went with tumblr names that matched AO3 names):

First Fandom: (X-Men) Don't Hold Me by Spyre

This fic was at the top of the most recently posted section, but had been written more than 20 years ago and only recently posted to AO3, which I thought was very suitable for a first fandom choice! I also know short fics tend to not get as much love, and I was (and remain) the first comment and kudos on this one, so check it out and spread the love!

Bookmark Day: (James Bond) Prowl by @professorfangirl

This has long been in my bookmarks, and was the fic that lured me into the 00Q fandom. This talented author has left fandom as far as I know, but is still irreplaceable and missed.

Old Favorites: (Marvel MCU) Scents and Sensibility by @galwednesday, @silentwalrus, and skellerbvvt

I don't read much in the Stucky fandom, but this amazing little worldbuilding fic is witty and unexpected and tender and absolutely hilarious, and has become one of my go-to comfort reads. Reading it again was an absolute pleasure. If you've put this one aside because the tags seem like not your thing I encourage you to give it a try anyway.

Fandom Curiosity: (Inception) I Could See for Miles, Miles, Miles by VII_XIII

I asked a fandom friend to recommend a fic in a new-to-me fandom and they absolutely came through! This was lovely and sweet and hot and overall a wonderful fic that coincidentally ended more or less around New Year's Eve!

TOP 10 MOVIE FANDOMS ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS (2009-2022)

To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Movies Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

X-Men (Movieverse) was in 5th place in 2010, but it’s not reflected in the bar chart because this tag was disappeared from the Movies category in 2011-2012.

Star Trek: The Original Series, a tag used in the TV Shows and Movies category, was actually in the 9th place in 2010 but it’s not reflected in the bar chart because this tag was not in the Movies category in 2011-2013.

The Avengers - Ambiguous Fandom was also in the top 10 from 2012-2020, but then was reduced to 5% of its 2020 total fanworks in 2021 onwards because The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types and The Avengers (Marvel Movies) was removed from its subtag list. I’m excluding it from the bar chart since it means it shouldn’t have been in the top 10 in the first place.

Thor - All Media Types was used in the Movies category in 2012-2017, existing alongside Thor (Movies) which has been in the Movie fandoms list since 2011. In 2018, Thor - All Media Types was removed from the Movies fandom list and works tagged with it now show up in Thor (Movies) instead. To avoid redundancy, Thor - All Media Types was left out of the bar chart but its numbers were used for Thor (Movies)’s total fanworks in 2012-2017 since it had around 188-3350 more fanworks than the latter in those years.

Marvel (Movies) was used in the Movies category in 2010-2016 and ranked in the top 10 from 2011-2016. In 2017, it was removed from the Movies fandom list and works tagged with it now show up in Marvel instead. To avoid redundancy, Marvel (Movies) was left out of the bar chart, though I did use its data in 2011-2012 for Marvel since Marvel was not in the Movies category in those years.

Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a subtag of Marvel and Marvel is a metatag for all Marvel works of various media, including comics and movies.

Serenity (2005) was in the Movies category until 2020, after which it was removed and worked tagged with it was redirected to Firefly (TV 2002) instead.

As you can see, broad fandom tags/multicategory tags have dominated the rankings in the Movies category. I might make another version of this bar chart race leaving out the multicategory tags, though it might take a while.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

heh…

P*neapple was a slur. I don't remember who it was for, but I remember that people were arguing online about who could reclaim it. People were censoring it like "p*neapple" and then there was discourse about whether or not censoring it was the right thing to do.

Fanfic requests open 😎 - just for a few hours longer!

As I am looking to pick up whump writing a bit more again, my requests have now been opened! UPDATE: Request will remain open until tonight 10pm (Dutch time, GMT+1). After that time I will close them again and start writing your amazing requests 😇

So, who am I? I am a whump writer, mostly focusing on hurt/comfort and angst. You can see my writing masterlist here, so you can have an idea of what I write.

What can I request? I will only be accepting requests from my prompts list and for selected fandoms / characters. You can see the prompts and the selected fandoms ánd make your requests through this form.

When can I expect my request to be posted? I'm not the fastest writer on the block and sometimes "suffer" from writer's block for weeks on end, so don't expect it to be posted within days after making the request. A little patience is needed (sorry!😥)

Any other questions? You can direct those at my Ask Box 😎

Happy requesting!
