write all the cliches?

Things of note:
  1. I am currently trying to talk [livejournal.com profile] musesfool into writing a story with ALL THE CLICHES IN THE WORLD.
  2. ... How many fanfic tropes could you fit into one story?
  3. Shut up. I am totally not tempted to try and write all the cliches.
  4. Though, lucky for me, [livejournal.com profile] jibrailis wrote The Big Sleep, which is a story where Arthur's vicious in his sleep, and Eames subdues him with petting. You guys, this is the story of my heart! Having to be stealthy to cuddle! Petting! Hating on the creeptasticness that is Edward!
  5. \o/
  6. Also, the awesome thing about fandom: someone else will write it so you don't have to! :DDD
  7. Okay, so I might be considering attempting the write all the cliches.
  8. /o\

I always yell "SELECT ALL/DELETE DAMN YOU!" at the tv when that scene comes up

:DDD

Eames would be heartbroken, but what was Arthur supposed to do? He loves Allforgeudarling and Eames made him crazy and it was such a mess! He's not good with relationships!

Arthur would have a serious email address! I was thinking yesterday something like afinepoint@gmail.com, but I like yours best :)

I'd love to see your take on Eames :D
(both of those are fantastic ideas! I'm not gonna lie, the first one has my heart, but mostly because I love the idea of Eames-the-single-parent and Arthur-the-stern-teacher-with-a-secret-marshmallow-core. But I'd love to read the other one too! I don't know, I can only assure you that I'll be here cheering for you forever! :D?)

or SHIFT UP. Hold down the key! THERE ARE BETTER WAYS, DAMMIT. Drives me nuts.

OMG OMG, NO. NO. afinepoint@gmail.com is PERFECT. Perfect! And, and, oooh Eames did NOT get the email wrong, okay. He did not. Arthur just really wanted it, and someone else already had it. And allforgeudarling asks what happened, and all afinepoint says in response is: "They don't have it anymore." Eames is pretty sure that's the moment he falls in love, but since Arthur never asks, he's never going to tell.

I am SO SCARED to try and write Eames now! I don't know. I've gotten so used to Arthur hating the world. LOL

♥♥♥ the first one totally has my heart, too. I like the idea of Eames being sort of helpless at raising a little girl, but in a way that also makes him the best dad ever, and his little girl being the most no-nonsense ever, and she totally knows what's up even before Arthur does, and often wonders why adults have to be so dumb about things. BUT, at the same time, I like the idea of Eames being completely hopeless at raising very little children, and being forced to get a nanny to control them. He hires Arthur mostly because Arthur looks like he's fresh out of military school himself, and is stern enough to restore some order. And Eames is pretty horrified to discover how indulgent Arthur is with the kids, later, because Arthur is NEVER indulgent with him!

WHY SO HARD TO CHOOSE?

Also, the caviar thing. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO EAT IT! IT'S FOOD! YOU EAT IT!

I am in love with your brain, jsyk ♥__________♥

I deeply believe that your Eames would be delightful! :D

Argh. They are all of them so amazing! Arthur is a secret marshmallow! Kids are the way to his heart! Arthur can't be indulgent with Eames because Eames is his employer! It wouldn't be professional!

IMPOSSIBLE TO CHOOSE!

possibly I'm going to have to rewatch the movie so I can figure this thing out

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Whyyyy my brain is stupid and it wants stupid things!

Oh, oh, and when Eames is all depressed because afinepoint hasn't replied to his email, and he's very confused, and he eyes Arthur sideways, while he smokes and Arthur just sort of hangs around holding onto a cigarette and trying to pretend he isn't watching Eames out of the corner of his eye. And Eames laughs, and finally says, "Christ, I must be worse off than I thought, if you're not stepping in to join in the chorus of this truly awful day with your typical belittling and unimaginative insults." "I'm sorry," Arthur says, and finally takes a drag, "I'll try and do better." And Eames just nods, mouth cocked, but not like he's really amused, and is all, "See that you do. It's terribly disappointing."

I have revised my to-do list (http://angelgazing.livejournal.com/191782.html). The first one won. I can totally fit in the part where Eames thinks Arthur is probably stuffy and overly stern only to realize he's the softest softy ever and totally spoilers Eames' little girl. He, you know, likes that.

STUPID BRAIN IT WON'T PICK A THINK TO WORK ON.

I may rewatch it just to laugh and point at all the things your version will do better

Don't offend your brain! Your brain is amazing! *pets your brain*

The only reason I'm not clutching my heart and making distressed sounds is because I know that you'll fix it and they will be happy together forever ;__;

I love that to-do list like burning! Also, all the possible titles! They are so beautiful! <333333

the main thing being, of course, that mine would have Eames and Arthur, and the real one does not

Lies! My brain is terrible. I'm all: Homework! And it's all: "... But there is Eames/Arthur fic on the internet!" And I'm like: "But that will still be there!" And it's just like: "But there will be more later." And I'm just like "AAARRG... Oh, hey, Inception as BANDOM..." And then my brain is just smug. >:|

They will totally get all better and live happily ever after! Um. Um. After the deal goes through, and Arthur is leaving for a different firm where people don't think he slept his way into the position! Or, no! Throughout the entire thing they are both just ~unhappy with the job that is being done in the dream research! So, the Fischer takeover happens, even with all the PR drama of Eames possibly sexually harassing employees, and Arthur maybe only getting the job because he was sleeping with the boss, and the fact that they aren't living up to all the things that it could be. So, at the end of the day, they're both probably going to be given their walking papers anyway, and even though they were totally getting better again, Eames is barely speaking to him, and Arthur is a very smart guy and he knows... well, he knows Eames. Eames steals the PASIV device when he leaves, and when he gets to the hotel Arthur is already there in jeans and a terrible tourist t-shirt. And Arthur is just like, "So, I've sort of been in love with you since you wrote me a dissertation on how Disney cartoons were actually much more damaging to a child's developing psyche than the Grimm versions of the same tales." The he pauses for a while, while Eames stands in the door and looks smug, before he says, "Of course, that was before I realized how pathetically easy it would be to find you." And Eames grins, and says, "You don't hide as well as you'd like to think either. Come now, darling, time for the real get away." And then they live a life of crime on the run and it is GLORIOUS. And, um, Saito totally wanted them to steal the one valuable part of the company after they sold it to Fischer. Because he's a badass like that. He's even responsible for their new passports.

I'm glad one of us likes my to-do list. lol I'm still very afraid of it, okay. Very afraid. Also, I'm afraid all my possible titles are too serious for the sunshine and candy I've apparently decided to make my new cup of tea. LOL But thank you. ::hugs::

Which awards it ten thousand bajillions points already!

Well, you shouldn't complain. I mean, your brain does have a point! (omg have you read that one? I am still starry eyed!)

HELLO! I ALREADY GAVE YOU MY HEART, I ONLY HAVE MY SOUL TO OFFER YOU THIS TIME!
I've sort of been in love with you since you wrote me a dissertation on how Disney cartoons were actually much more damaging to a child's developing psyche than the Grimm versions of the same tales I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE WRITTEN A PAPER LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! THERE WERE FOOTNOTES! OMG! I love you, okay? You'll have to accept this as a fact of life.

I don't care if the titles are serious! They are beautiful! They make for, uh, a poetic contrast with the sunshine-and-candy flavor of your stories. They, hmm, enhance their literary value. And stuff.

It is the simple things that make it worth waking in the morning

[identity profile] angelgazing.livejournal.com 2010-09-21 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
But. HOMEWORK. (Oh, god, I LOVED that one. I never wanted it to end. I wanted a billion words of Arthur/Eames stage!gay TRUE LOVE. So, so many hearts.)

Ahahaha THAT IS AWESOME. I think it's funniest because it's true. Disney totally sets children up for unreal expectations from reality while also KILLING ALL THE MOTHERS. And, and, basically I would just love to read that paper, okay. And I want Arthur to be charmed by Eames writing one, ok, even though he continued to argue just to argue. &boys; :D

But it is still, still never ever going to be near as awesome or adorable as you aaarrrt, omg.

Homework... bleah. (so many hearts for that story! It made me want to read oldies bandom fic again! Yes, there needs to be a whole lot more words about their epic TRUE LOVE!) (ALSO, remember that time Pete said that he and Patrick lived in a castle in the clouds and their neighbours were the Care Bears? My brain is a mess of fandom clashing!)

I was a very nerdy 13 years-old /o\ BUT! Best idea ever! Now you are bound to write this fic just so you can use this idea :DDD

LIES! YOU ARE A LYING LIAR WHO SPEAKS UNTRUTHS!
