just watched Inception

[extemporally]

and where is all the Cobb/Saito fic? EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ARTHUR FELLA AND ALSO THAT EAMES FELLA but seriously, Cobb/Saito. I ship it.

(I also ship Ariadne/me, but, well, I am not expecting fanfic for that any time soon!)

PS. Spoilers in comments, you know the deal.

PPS. Also, you know what I hate? I hate it in action movies when there's the requisite scene with two white guys chasing each other through a marketplace in [insert foreign locale of choice] and there is much destruction. I just. /o\ Won't someone please think of the poor stallholders?

It's just so inconsiderate!

i have a problem with cobb saito and it's, well, cobb. cobb is ANNOYING. woe!

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Cobb IS annoying! But on the other hand Saito is just that perfect combination of confused and manipulative and also, Ken Wantanabe. >:)

Cobb stayed to PERSUADE HIM TO COME BACK!

[egelantier.livejournal.com]

saito could do BETTER, that's all i'm saying.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I have decided Saito/Mal/Ariadne for maximum hotness!

[egelantier.livejournal.com]

i approve of your reasoning! though how would you do it with mal completely dead is a beat beyond me.

saito/arthur/ariadne, on the other side...

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Hot >:)

Well, technically that was 'cause he needed Saito to make the important phone call and Saito couldn't do that if he was a vegetable. But if you're adamant, INCEPTION_KINK IS YOUR FRIEND.

I spent a long time trying to decide between Arthur/Eames and Arthur/Ariadne. Eventually concluded that whatever, the Arthur/ is the important point.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Threesomes are your friend!

The only thing I am really adamant about is Ellen Page/me.

[finkpishnets.livejournal.com]

Pfft, Ariadne/Me, Arthur/Me, Eames/Me, Robert/Me...I'm really not fussy when it comes to this movie ;)

The trouble with this film is that you can ship everyone. For whatever reason, I seem to be most swayed by Arthur/Ariadne. Which maybe have a lot to do with the fact that as soon as I realised that JGL and Ellen Page were in a film together I started mentally flailing and wishing them to have awesome, gorgeous babies together. But, yes. Arthur/Eames does appear to be the most popular ship (and I absolutely dig it), but there are so many other avenues to explore! I'm personally craving some Eames/Robert fic right about now.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Yes you can ship everyone! Or want to read lots and lots of gen, either way. :D

Oh, Arthur/Ariadne is absolutely great too -- they are v compatible! Mostly I want them to appear in an indie movie together, do not judge me. /o\

[finkpishnets.livejournal.com]

I want them to appear in an indie move together tooooo.

When Arthur/Ariadne actually happened in the film I almost pinched myself just to make sure I hadn't made it up because I'd been sitting there going 'oh gosh, those two need to get married' but it was real :D

Shipping everyone/gen is so the way to go.

[blindmouse.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how relieved I was ten minutes into the movie when I realised neither of the pair the internet had told me to ship was Leonardo DiCaprio. Just. That weird little facial hair thing. I can't even /o\

What about Saito/Fischer? Client and Mark, that's got to be good for something, right? Plus Fischer kind of charmed me.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Oh, Fischer was very charming! I approve of this ship choice.

The facial hair thing is kind of an impediment, I agree. Also, Cobb's kind of boring.

[nova33.livejournal.com]

DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT TELLING ME THAT YOU DON'T SHIP ARTHUR/EAMES, LI.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

I THINK I WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION DURING THE ARTHUR/EAMES MOMENTS IN THE MOVIE. D:

[ex-oddishly.livejournal.com]

But HOW?! The ENTIRE MOVIE is an Arthur/Eames moment, Li!

[nova33.livejournal.com]

GO SEE IT AGAIN RIGHT THIS INSTANT SO YOU CAN REMEDY THAT, JFC.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to them! I'm on your side! :D

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

TRIUMPH!

Mostly I just thought of Eames as "that guy who looks like Amy Pond's gay friend on Doctor Who", so possibly I really really wasn't paying attention, but you know.

[marksykins.livejournal.com]

FISTPUMP OF VICTORY!

I liked them both and paid as much attention as I ever do to movies, but I came home going "what on earth are you talking about, internets!!"

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Also someone has informed me that there is no post-film Ariadne gen about her being an architectural student, where she is competent and mad and slightly magical. INTERNET WHAT IS THIS.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

*DEFRIENDS YOU BOTH*

[ex-oddishly.livejournal.com]

Dude, that ALWAYS annoys me! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. I have to wring my hands at the screen through every single James Bond film.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

All the lovely fruits and veggies, RUINED! DDD:

[momebie.livejournal.com]

Totally shipping Arthur/Me. ;)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

He is extremely competent and hot, y!

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

I ship everyone/me! Yes, even Yusuf! LOL!

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Why 'even'?

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

He wasn't mentioned much anywhere.

[egelantier.livejournal.com]

oh my god, i feel you so hard on overturned stuff. and also when superheroes and such screw with the police. and when there's a chase and a lot of cars get driven off the road or flipped.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Right?? I can't just enjoy a good explosion, Alina, I have to be like, "oh god that must have been awful for everyone on the periphery".

[trixiesfic.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I absolutely hate the wanton destruction that happens in action movies with no consequences. Oh, we just destroyed half a city while chasing each other through the streets, oh well! Hate it!

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

It's terrible! And I am never like, "Oh, thank god they didn't die," I am just always, "They blew up a bridge and five streets? Fuck them!"

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

LOL, I've read several reviews where they call out that scene for being the weakest part of the whole movie.

I ship Ariadne/me, too! WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Oh, great! It's just so cliched, and I. /o\

NO YOU CAN'T HAVE HER SHE'S MINE

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

OH OKAY, I'LL JUST GO BACK TO SHIPPING ME/ARTHUR/TOM HARDY

[preromantics.livejournal.com]

I ship like, everything in this movie, but COBB/ARTHUR AND ARTHUR/ARIADNE, ugh, I was writing this really crazy thing post-movie where (assuming Cobb gets stuck in a dream, whatever, CHRISTOPHER NOLAN FUCK WITH MY HEAD MORE, PLEASE) Ariadne and Arthur had a thing that wasn't really a thing and Ariadne felt super guilty over Cobb, and Arthur always sort of had a thing under the surface with him and so they go TO SAVE HIM. OR SOMETHING.

Basically I chose the most complicated way to get to awesome threesome sex ever. So far I've pretty much just written Inception porn and then I forget to finish it, sighsigh.

/rambling

[athenejen]

I, too, felt sorry for the stallholders during that scene. But, um, at least if it was all a dream, they were only projections? :D? :D? ... :(

I came out of the movie shipping Arthur/Eames (banter and pigtail-pulling!) and Ariadne/Cobb (seriously, she was so concerned about him and desperately needed him to forget about his dead wife) the most, but really, I am equal opportunity shipper. Cobb/Saito, yes! Cobb/Arthur, yes! Arthur/Ariadne, yes! Eames/Fischer, yes! These are all arguably the most supported by the text, but I think there are a lot of other ~plausible combinations that could happen, too -- Ariadne/Arthur/Eames, Ariadne/Arthur/Cobb, Ariadne/Eames, Arthur/Eames/Cobb, Saito/Cobb/Arthur, Saito/Arthur, Saito/Eames, Saito/Ariadne, Saito/Fischer, Fischer/Arthur/Eames, Fischer/Ariadne, Yusuf/Arthur, Yusuf/Cobb, Yusuf/Ariadne, Ariadne/Cobb/Mal, Ariadne/Mal, Cobb/Mal/Arthur... Just about anything, really. They're all so very shippable!

[aurora]

PPS. Also, you know what I hate? I hate it in action movies when there's the requisite scene with two white guys chasing each other through a marketplace in [insert foreign locale of choice] and there is much destruction. I just. /o\ Won't someone please think of the poor stallholders?
THAT BUGS ME TOO! Who is going to compensate their lost products, dammit??

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

GIVE ME ALL YOUR GEN BB.

alexthegreat was talking about a Amy's Choice / Inception mashup, I think!

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

I pretty much ship everyone. Arthur/Eames, Arthur/Cobb, Cobb/Mal, Arthur/Cobb/Mal, Ariadne/Cobb, Yusuf/his wife (because I like that), Robert/anyone. LET ME TELL YOU THE FIC I AM WRITING IS BASICALLY: ARTHUR MAKES OUT WITH EVERYONE AT SOME POINT.

[yetunknown.livejournal.com]

hahaha. I usually hate it when EVERYBODY doing the chasing as well as the chasee are white. glad he put a local-looking guy in there.

but yes! the poor stallholders! /o\

[plumerri.livejournal.com]

Not related to Inception, but are you going for Singfest?

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

n!

You are, right. Have fun!

[plumerri.livejournal.com]

No too! Was just asking on behalf of a friend, who wants to know some things about The Like. :)

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

Holy fucking shit! The Like's playing?!

[plumerri.livejournal.com]

YES! Oh dude you didn't know! I'm not sure which day, but should be today. YES THE LIKE IS IN SINGAPORE RN.

[lemniciate.livejournal.com]

GO TO SLEEP, MR EAMES.

GO TO SLEEP, MR EAMES. LI!!

but yes, other ships i wish people would get behind: everyone/me, cobb/fischer, saito/fischer, arthur/everyone
