THAT IS MY FACE IRL RN. JSYK. YOU ARE SO AMAZING BB, I CAN'T EVEN.
Seriously, though, your in-depth review has me blushing and flailing like a tweeniebopper who is finally meeting Rpattz. IT'S RIDIC. And you are far, far too good to me. You just say the best things, and in so much detail, and just. akshgdkhgakjrkahkr <3333333333333333
And ahaha, Limbo. Limbo was one of the most interesting and heart-breaking aspects of the film for me, and also one of the most confusing. I've probably done more discussions with friends, both RL and online, about the mechanics and order of Limbo than I have about any other part of Inception. It's just such a crazy, unreal concept -- to be able to live a whole lifetime down there and then be pulled back into some other world that you apparently lived in before. I can't even imagine the mindfuck. It's part of, I think, what makes Mal's story so tragic and terrifying; if you think about it, her response is the one most of us would have. What else would you think when you wake up in some new world after living 60+ years in a different one but that this new place wasn't real? I can't honestly say my reaction would have been any different.
I'm so glad you liked it, bb! Thanks again for the encouragement -- I desperately needed something like this to jumpstart me into a new fandom. ♥ ♥ ♥

you totally deserve every positive thing that's been said about you!! seriously, i tried to read the kink meme but i kept coming back to this fic. i just. YOUR WRITING IS SO GOOD YOU'VE RUINED INCEPTION FIC FOR ME FOREVER.
i completely agree. reading your fic really made me understand why mal chose to lock away her totem. at first i just thought, dude she's stupid why would she want to be stuck in this empty world forever, but now it makes sense. it's actually kind of romantic in a way -- you want to believe limbo is your reality because you're happy there, and the possibility that everything you've built will just disappear once you wake up... it's scary, to say the very least.
