Day 31: A letter to the Inception fandom.

@inception30daychallenge

The Inception fandom is the best fandom ever??? You guys are all so nice and have consistent events and literally the BEST FANFICTION I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE. I don’t think any other fandom can collectively top the SKILLS of you Inception writers.

I also celebrate every day I see a new piece of Inception fanart because theyre always so good… and on that note… Thank you SO MUCH for supporting my fanart I post here! Inception is the longest fixation I’ve had on a piece of media and if it wasn’t for this small but supportive fandom I don’t think I could’ve done it.

And yeah most of the fandom is arthureames AND IT’S SO CRAZY HOW WE BUILT 8000 FICS FROM LITERALLY AROUND 2:30 MINUTES OF SCREENTIME TOGETHER (althought more like an hour if we’re counting them being alone) the amount of analysis we do on each word they say is dedicated to say the least and honestly always really good.

To send this off, keep making awesome headcanons, keep sharing gifs or clips or old interviews, keep writing, keep drawing, keep being awesome!!!

Day 31: A letter to the Inception fandom

Okay, where do we start?

I feel like the new kid in this little community of Inception fans, since most of you guys are full-grown adults, and I'm just a girl who really loves this movie, a friend recommended to me when we were talking about movies.

This Inception 30-Day challenge is my first one, and I received many waves of support from all of you, and it warms my heart to see it every time I open up Tumblr.

As this Inception 30-Day challenge ends, I'd like to thank everyone who supported me. I'd like to thank the actors who portrayed these fantastic characters for us to fangirl over. I'd like to thank all these wonderful blogs for their outstanding work. I'd like to thank Mr. Christopher Nolan, for without him, I would not be writing this letter to all of you lovely people.

See you next July,

Jade

A Love Letter to Inception Fandom

I'm almost absent from Tumblr these days, and almost out of time these days, and most definitely out of passion these days – but. If there's one thing that's always, ALWAYS near and dear to me, the thing I'm happily pouring my energy into year after year – it's Inceptiversary. There should be something stable in life, and for me – it's this.

So, as we're wrapping this Inceptiversary up, lemme just say this:

I love you, Inception Fandom!

Thank you for endless creativity;

for all the beautiful @aeldws fics – delicious bite-sized delights I always read, even if I don't have time for much these days;

for so many kind words you lot have for each other – and especially for @inceptionpositivity; just seeing all that stuff warms my heart so much;

for just being there, and sticking together, and showing up for @inceptionwatchparty year after year;

and for making this space such a warm, welcoming, and beautiful place.

Each year I come back here and it feels like coming home.

Day 31: A letter to the Inception fandom.

@inception30daychallenge

To those who write and to those who read, to those who comments and the ones who leave kudos , to those who draw and to those who scream in the tags, to those who lead and to those who follow, to those who are talented, to those who are still figuring it out ,

to everyone who brings a smile on my face to everyone who puts tears (the good kind) in my eyes, to those who never let a post flop , to those who binge like and reblog, to those who make tireless efforts to keep the fandom going, to those who keep the enthusiasm going,

To the ones who cheer, to the ones who tolerate, to the ones which are loud , to the ones who are silent, to the ones who show up everyday, to the ones who come every other month, to the ones who were and to the ones who are and to the ones who will be,

To the ones who care,

hope we keep on dreaming bigger.

Xoxo

Day 31: A letter to the Inception fandom.

@inception30daychallenge

Thank you for existing 💛

It's been a long year since the last challenge, and the last few months and weeks have been particularly taxing for me, physically but especially emotionally, and it'snot over yet. But through all the little (and maybe not so little) struggles and worries, this fandom, this community, has been a little pocket of warmth and light, a beacon in the storm.

All of this month's events really helped me and brightened my days, even if I've not been able to actively participate as much as I would have wanted. But I promised myself that, despite feeling drained of creativity and inspiration, I would finish this challenge, to treat myself with a little joy every day.

And it really has been! So, thank you to all the mods who've been organizing all these awesome events, and to everyone who contributed and is still contributing - even just a little, even just by supporting and cheering on other people - to make this Inceptiversary month wonderful.

And to everyone who is part of this fandom, even if they haven't been able to participate, because life is hard or whatever other reason, you're all awesome!

Love you all,

Val

Day 30: A headcanon about something that hannened during the movie timeline @inception30daychallenge

So a scene is unfolding; saito is dying, yusuf is driving madly thru a hail of storms and projections, plan A, B and probably up to Z are finished and Cobb is suggesting something that’s giving Arthur an aneurysm.

And Eames is giving THIS look.

Everyone knows eames is a charmer and also likes to tease the hell out of his darling Arthur , but this look, this wolfish-impish-sultry smirk, has always bothered me. And not always in the best way.

If I presented this gif without any context, it would appear as if Eames is actually plotting against Arthur and Cobb, instead of together.

More importantly, his smirk disappears and gets replaced with a look of (ah my English is failing me sorry) , calculated observation? Like “well well well, now let me satisfyingly observe how you are affected, hmm?”

Sorry for the poor quality but look, but even through the grainy dots, you can see expression he’s wearing so so clearly.

So here’s my two cents about this.

The original inception attempt, that made Arthur say “it’s impossible” and Eames to say “it’s just bloody difficult” , I believe stem from the same attempt; meaning, I think that was their last job together which kind of drew them apart (with the background cobb bullshit) I believe they couldn’t come together (ahem) at a crucial point in the mission, which drove them apart for good, amidst all the tension.

I think, that in the original attempt, when the plan fell halfway through, Eames did come up with an on the spot plan (“dream a little bigger darling”) and Arthur wanted to stick to the original plan (“we need a little better than might”) . Despite the romantic feelings, I think the way they approached challenges stood in the way and may be caused a rift in their lives as well as the plan. And Eames, couldn’t convince Arthur successfully to go ahead with a different plan than the original and that created a domino effect failing the job and pushing them apart.

So I believe that’s the reason behind the almost threatening smile behind that split second, despite the love lost and everything, Eames wanting to see how Arthur would react to Cobbs whirlwind of a plan. May be it’s a little bit of hurt and jealousy remaining , all feelings entangled.

or may be Eames just really wanted to fuck the sopping wet sex on dreams Arthur then and there inside the van.

Day 30: A headcanon about something that happened during the movie timeline.

@inception30daychallenge

Arthur and Eames definitely had sex after the “I’m impressed” exchange.

Their banter there was especially charged, and they just couldn't resist. Arthur being turned on by Eames’ show of competence and confidence and Eames being driven mad by Arthur’s teasing (and his yellow tie that had originally been Eames’ own but had somehow stayed in Arthur’s possession after they separated).

They refused to talk about it, they couldn’t, not then, with inception looming over them, with all its risks and all that uncertainty about what was going to happen. But still it changed something, something shifted between them, the air filled with promise and renewed hope, and determination to see it through the end so they could finally reconnect for real.

And after they landed in LA it was natural for Eames to wait for Arthur, and for Arthur to join him so they could finally hash out the tangled mess that was their relationship and start to patch it up.

Day 29: My favorite thing about the movie

Just finished watching the k-drama “S line”, where certain people are gifted with a vision to see the red line of intimacy - S(ex) Line -, connecting the two peoples with sexual history.

I am glad we could all see the red line, bright and clear.

THAT will always be the favourite thing about this movie for me.

tagged by darlings @dingdangit @valeriley and @strangegeology to post 4 non selfies.

1. A huge ass snake (python?) that made me stop my ride to have a look at it. Pretty unusual in the city I live in (the local was earning a quick buck showing off the beast to the foreigners)

2. One of the most sacred places in my country. A huge tourist attraction too. Captured this on a recent trip while the light and rain were doing their job

3. The LED lighting of the scanner at my work place. Endlessly fascinating.

4. Two of Sri Lankan breakfast classics with curries. Made by yours truly

I’m tagging @sanfranciscofish @booksnchocolate @boisinberryjamarama @iamanonniemouse @dreaminghigher :D and any and every one who wish to participate. no pressure obviously

Day 28: What did Fischer get in trouble for as a kid? @inception30daychallenge

I don’t think he ever got in to any trouble ever, not because he was a goody-two-shoes (he was. that boy wanted his fathers approval since day ONE) but simply because he was the rich kid. If life is anything like here in anywhere, that much is definitely true.

Having said that, I think he was getting caught up often by associating or sitting with the staff a little too much. I see him as a kind boy who loved his staff and entourage like a family (“uncle Peter” 🥺) cause, well, his actual one wasn’t around much.

He would carry his plate and go sit with them or just go and talk to them about their day. Or recite his own when he wants to share with someone.

and also this is sth I’ll always headcanon that eames had the very similar childhood and teen hood arc to that of Robert. That’s why he was able to nail the trigger point so fast.

[thenwhatthefukcisthis]

Day 27: Who would create a podcast and what would it be about?

@inception30daychallenge

Arthur. He’d be the biggest nerd ofc and he will curate each episode for each speciality and bring on monthly guests. He will keep it pedantic but also throw a joke or two of his own.

Eames would be a daily listener. Even if he’s away like in bumfuck nowhere, he’ll somehow cobble up at least a transmitter and listen.

What if Arthur doesn’t have many listeners? Not to worry cause Eames would fill that void too! He will send msgs and questions and if possible real time too (Arthur knows. He always does. But it doesn’t make the effort any less valuable)

Oh oh arthur would also have a “fact of the day”; an anecdote from a mission gone horrible wrong or miraculously right. He will urge his listeners to either never make such mistakes or dream a little bigger.

and every time arthur says the line, Eames would smile so hard from whenever he is listening.

Day 26 : a self rec! @inception30daychallenge

My first ever fanfic, something I still think about some times, and am proud of all the time.

“fancy seeing you here this time around” yusuf quips, knowing exactly where the blow should and will land.

“how is he?”

“how would I know?”

“because you lent him a room last week?”

“that i did. but contrary to what you might think, I didn’t sleep over at his room, braiding his hair and talking about his feelings”

“I didn’t….was he angry?”

“I guess he wasn’t feeling exactly happy when he smashed the vintage vase on the bedside”

give it a go and let me know what you think :D
