As for Inception, Gordon-Levitt’s character might be best remembered for his physics-defying hallway fight scene, but a small corner of the Internet prefers to see the film as a love story between his character, Arthur, and Tom Hardy’s Eames. When I bring this up, the actor smiles for a moment while calibrating his response. “I’ve seen some of that fan fiction,” he says. “It’s very inspired and inspiring.” As for whether there might be any credibility to those theories, your guess is as good as Gordon-Levitt’s. “What is credibility? Art is up to the viewer to be whatever they want it to be,” he adds wryly.
JGL for Inverse interview, great read, actually!

i don't know if there is a single fandom for whom i have more admiration than the inception girlies. like damn. the main ship has literally 2:23 seconds of screen time together (and that's including times they aren't actually interacting, one is simply mentioning the other) and i know the fandom is not solely this one ship -- the film itself is basically custom build for fandom in terms of the potential world building and development of characters who are mostly composed of clever inferences and powered by charismatic performance -- but still. 2 minutes 23 seconds from a film that came out 13 years ago and the fandom (while obviously smaller/less active than it's peak era) is still going strong. you guys are indestructible gremlins of creativity, god-tier meta, and (fittingly for a fandom that arguably originated in a livejournal kink meme) deeply deeply horny. i respect and fear you all.

So why did no one in Hollywood watch Inception and immediately pitch another movie starring Tom Hardy and JGL as romantic leads. Because I would’ve been on that shit so fast

You're waiting for a train...
Robert Fischer x Cobbs Daughter!reader
*COMPLETED*
*This will follow the plot of the 2010 film 'Inception'*
description - Y/n, the daughter of the thief Dominic Cobb and the late Mal Cobb, joined her father on the run. Knowing her fathers innocence, she couldn't bear to be without him, so she gave up on her architecture degree and followed him into the world of dreams. They do jobs together and, even though Cobb worries about the amount of danger he's putting her in, he'd rather her be with him in the dreams rather than on the outside carrying his name like a brand. In the latest job they are given, Cobb searches to find peace and Y/n is confronted with a man who tugs on her heart and infiltrates her dreams.
*reader is 20*
a/n - welcome to my first multi-chapter fic and it is with a character from the talented Cillian Murphy! I watched Oppenheimer the other day, so I've been rewatching his filmography and I obviously came back to Inception. Inception is hands down my favourite film and I think it was this performance that put Cillian on the map as an actor of tremendous talent!
a/n 2 - each chapter will have it's own warnings but the general ones are SPOILERS! (also should there be a taglist for this?)

wait a minute.
the “darling” but was a slip/ad lib/ very well intended addition of mr. hardy, which they decided to keep in the movie so are you telling me that A) jgl didn’t even bat an eye when tom freaking hardy called him a darling ( I would’ve smiled and blushed so hard and ruined the entire scene) and B) decided, yes eames would call arthur darling two hundred percent and it would be a norm so im ?? just?? gonna ?? be?? in?? character?????
