Inception and Prague

[barush]

I don't really think there are any people from the Inception fandom on my flist, but I'm gonna rant about this anyways, because... I just don't get it.

What is it about Prague and the Inception fandom? Or at least the Arthur/Eames and Arthur/Cobb part of it, since I can't speak for anything else. I swear to God that if you went to

Because Prague after nightfall is a total mindfuck?

[barush]

Lmao true. However, I seriously doubt any of the people writing about Prague have actually been there, so they can't know that :P

[cookie_wolf]

True. Was there a brief mention of Prague in the movie?

[barush]

Nope. Most of it takes place in Paris, actually. That's why it's just so... random. I'd really like to know the reason why almost all the authors feel the need to mention Prague at least once in their fics. But I guess I'll never know.

what.............. is healing!cock? is it exactly what it implies...? @_@

[barush]

Ehm, I would say so? :P Well, it's a fandom trope (I've seen it used mainly at fanficrants, but other places too)... basically, it's hurt/comfort, where the comfort part consist of sex only. As in, character A is raped/beaten/kidnapped/smb close to him dies/smb breaks up with him/whatever, he's hurting, depressed, falling apart and then, character B comes, has sensuous kinky sex with character A and voila! He's magically all better! And that's all brought to you by the powers of the healing!cock :P If you haven't read anything like that before, I envy you.

Also, it's 'cock', 'cause it usually appears in slash. But who knows, there might be some het/femslash equivalent :)

lmao >_< yeah that's what i figured it would be... i don't think any fandom is safe from the powers of the healing!cock. in particular i've never understood how having more sex solves any issues for someone who's been raped but what do i know. the whole "i want to feel something other than numb" (or in the case of rape, "i want someone to... have sex with me because they ~love~ me") excuse is really cliche and i'm tired of seeing it used to justify something like cutting or healing!cock. why can't people be more creative ;~;

healing!cunt?

[barush]

I think it's just an excuse to write porn, in most cases :/ It kinda pisses me off, 'cause I love h/c, but I'm tired of smut. However, those two always seem to come together (pun not intended lol).

healing!cunt could be interesting though :P It'd be totally new to me, so I wouldn't be tired of it yet lol
