You're A Smart Man, Mr Eames

It's a testament to how continually amazing this fandom is that you can make a prompt on a kink meme and it turns into a the most epic block party discussion EVER, complete with phenomenal fanfic attached as a bonus. I'm just in AWE. This post is for all of you

THIS POST IS SO WIN

Wow. The thing about the air duct, and the defibrillator. That's. I hadn't realized.

SO DUDE. YOU BASICALLY QUOTED ALL OF EAMES' LINES, MAN. LMAO. Love that. He's not just for comic relief. Though he did help. HE WAS ACTUALLY FRICKIN ACE.

And unf, Jungian archetypes. Methinks Eames is also well-read if that's the case. Like, classics and shit. Not so much the modern lit. Though I dunno how to factor in the "spelling" issue if that were true. Unless Cobb is just being an ass.

Granted they are in a hospital so Ariadne could have just designed it in as a matter of course, but Eames still knew exactly where it was without needing to look.

(I don't really see Eames as the type to read classics! I see him more a Bukowski sort. and obviously futurist Russian poets :D)

[bronson]

Yeah, exactly. Unless Ariadne explained that too. But, did Ariadne really create all the details of that level? I mean, Eames dreamed it, didn't he? Ariadne was just in charge of the layout and the ~paradoxes~ and the general maze-ness of it. Even though, uh, they bypass the whole thing in the end anyway.

(True, true. LULZ FUTURIST RUSSIAN POETS. Yeah, that's totally fanon now, man.)

[jibrailis]

It's true. Eames' smarts brings all the boys to the yard and damn right, it's better than yours (and mine, and Arthur's, and everybody else's).

Oh man, I wandered over to the sapiosexuality thread, did a double take at the length, and then thought as usual I am late to the party, DAMN IT. You are genius inspiration for having started it though.

[bookshop]

you are NEVER too late for the sapiosexuality party! or for the "let's all write smart!eames fills" party, as it may be. *nudges* :D

Sorry if I'm spamming and stuff but regarding that scene in Mombasa:

[bronson]

And this may be a little off-topic, I just need to know. NEED TO KNOW LIKE BURNING. When Cobb asks Eames, "Do you remember if I'm wanted dead or alive here?" Idk, I paraphrase. Cause. Cobb just screwed up with that Cobol vs Saito job, right? And the time difference between the helicopter scene in Tokyo and Cobb's trip to Mombasa mustn't have been, like, a week at most. Or two weeks, give or take. Does that mean Cobb's been to Mombasa before? Probably some few months ago? Since it's "Cobol's backyard" and Cobol's probably the company that "wants him dead or alive" since he and Arthur bolted the shit out of that train when they realized that they screwed up the Saito job. (Hehe, Saito job.)

Or, could Eames have heard of it from some underground grapevine? And if he did, why did Cobb assume that Eames knew?

.... HMMM.

Re: Sorry if I'm spamming and stuff but regarding that scene in Mombasa:

[bookshop]

the line was like "that price on my head, was that dead or alive?"

Eames prolly texted arthur a few weeks earlier all like "LOL NICE ONE, TELL COBB THERE'S AN APB OUT FOR HIM IN KENYA" and then added "I GUESS THEY COULDN'T FIX A PRICE ON YOUR PRETTY HEAD, HMM?"

[bronson]

THANK YOU. That killed me a little, that I couldn't recall it properly. D:

AND. AND THAT'S HOW ARTHUR KNOWS EAMES IS IN MOMBASA? (If we go the non-Arthur/Eames-just-had-at-it-like-rabbits-in-Mombasa-before-Arthur-flew-in-for-the-Saito-extraction route. Which is blasphemous, I know.)
