i think my latest fanfiction sojourn might be what finally pushes me over the edge into actually writing again. mostly because i haven't been so at odds with the popular fanon interpretations of a main pairing in uhhh actually possibly ever. it would mean having to subject myself to another rewatch of a movie for which I have the world's most tepid feelings but. Honestly I haven't felt this motivated to write in years. and it's not that the fics I've been reading are "bad" some of them are certified bangers I've just had the most unfortunate onset of 'nobody understands this character but me' syndrome come over me and like! i can either fume silently, complain about it annoyingly, or write what i want to see in the world. so! gonna ride this wave of irritation all the way to the bank baybee!!!!

#oh it's inception btw lmao #why does 90% of the fandom write eames Like That #this isn't my first time riding the arthurxeames carousel i have no idea why it's bothering me so much this particular go around #so many fics have him as this like. loudly obtrusive and gregarious fop doling out pet names and oscar wilde witticisms #i mean i also don't vibe super heavy with an eames who's been pining after arthur for years pre-canon #but i at least can see in the canon how a fic author could arrive at that interpretation #not that you need canon justification for whatever dynamic you want to play with these are paper dolls we're gluing outfits on for funsies #but i am irritated! it's honestly very exciting!#gonna incept myself into writing again by reading fic from people who have fundamentally opposing character interpretations!
