they're not going to breed

Inception! I have seen it! And honestly I don't really care about ~theories~ and reconceptualisations and all that -- it made sense to me, I enjoyed the fact that every opened parenthesis was closed eventually, and I don't have the energy for further mental gymnastics right now. Mostly I want to think about HOW AWESOME THE ENTIRE CAST WAS.

One minor question for those who've seen it: does anyone recall being shown what Eames's totem was? They all seemed to revolve (heh) around weight -- one assumes that Arthur's loaded die lands on a number known only to him, Cobb's top only succumbs to real gravity, and we saw Ariadne learning the weight of her chess piece and how much force is needed to topple it over -- but I don't remember seeing anyone else's totems.

What do you mean I might be writing fic about Forgers.

Shut up.

(dopplegl is right, there's an excellent White Collar crossover in there somewhere, but I don't think it's quite what I want to write.)

I read an excellent fic where Eames token was coloured squares representative of Eames' House, but I know a lot of fandom uses the poker chip given that he's playing with one when we first "meet" him, and Cobb glances at it and says "you still haven't learned how to spell". Some fics make it weighted, and he flips it, but I don't think the weight is the key to the totem, just one aspect that would be hard to replicate accurately in a dream.

I do think the flipping of a poker chip is the most likely. Have you read any good Eames-centric fic you'd recommend to me?

Eames mostly appears in Arthur/Eames fic, and that's not really my pairing or focus, but I'll try! So far my favourite fics with Eames have been: too much like the world we're stuck in (Arthur/Eames in limbo) and save lay my rifle down (Arthur/Eames with RL heists).

You Can't Hide The Sun With Two Fingers (Arthur/Eames, pre- and post- movie) and All The Faces You Wear (same) are pretty popular too.

This untitled kinkmeme piece is the one with the Eames House totem.

Oh and EVERYONE EVER should read the Eames/Arthur/Ariadne Victorian!AU, my slumbering heart.

Even though my love for the film was due in large part to the characters...I can't imagine writing AU for it when there is so much AWESOME MINDFUCK WORLDBUILDING to be done!

That was my thought exactly, and my issue with a lot of other fic being produced in this fandom! Possibly it's just that I have a giant girlboner for anything set in the 19th century, but they still use PASIV and enter dreams it's just, you know. Victorian era. ♥____♥
