there is rambling involved

[hesselives]

so, never mind. my jetlag has properly put me on a fucked-up sleep schedule, like expected. i slept thirteen hours yesterday. which is why i'm wide-awake now at 4 AM. WTF.

and this would be the perfect time to re-tackle the WIP, except writing and i are apparently not on speaking terms at present. i swear it's one of those stupid things where it's

I DO HAVE TO WARN YOU I SOMEHOW HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING AND OH MY GOD MY ROBERT-VOICE IS SO WEIRD.

Do you have any Eames/Robert to rec me, darling? I think I need to polish up on my characterisations. :sadface:

[hesselives]

ROBERT IS SO HARD TO PIN DOWN, JFC. BUT WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT. YOUR E/R WILL WIN ALL THE INTERNETS. I CAN FEEL IT.

there is this sadly-small list i've compiled. and i'm sure there is more. if i manage to hunt them down, i'll let you know. :huntingface:

I'M TRYING TO DO A POST-INCEPTION THING IN WHICH EAMES STAYS IN THE COMPANY TO MONITOR FISCHER BUT FOR SOME REASON FISCHER ISN'T BREAKING UP THE COMPANY BECAUSE THE INCEPTION DIDN'T ACTUALLY TAKE (WE NEVER ACTUALLY FOUND OUT, DID WE? WE JUST ~ASSUMED) AND THEN FISCHER STARTS SPIRALLING INTO INSANITY BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FAILED-INCEPTION AND EVERYTHING WILL BE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.

Um. I'm still trying to work out whose POV to write it from. Robert or Eames? Gah, dilemma. Thanks so much for the recs, though, I so desperately need them. And oh, before I forget - would you mind a bit of background Arthur/Eames in the story? It would make a really neat juxtapositioning, but of course if you'd prefer I can probably do the juxtapositioning Platonically.

[hesselives]

FAILED INCEPTION, YOU SAY? HANG ON. LET ME SIGN UP FOR THAT AN INFINITE NUMBER OF TIMES. \O/

ooh, either would be delicious. though i'm not sure how closely the characterizations in those recs match with the ones in your head. *grin* and by all means! background A/E is a-ok, Platonic or not. :D

[hesselives]

the aaangst, it never stops. which makes me both D: and :D, IDK. and you are light-years ahead of me in terms of flood-auction fic progress. 290 > 0. YOU ARE WRITING THINGS. THAT MAKES ME RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY. <3

i am in Michigan, freezing my ass off. (i am SERIOUSLY considering the California offer RIGHT NOW.) and as this is still my permanent address, i will PM it to you straight away. English postcard! i feel posh already.

[hesselives]

OBVIOUSLY, I'M A SLOW LEARNER. /O\

lol, Tinchy is actually okay. but all the white dudes rapping has me wheezing in laughter, possibly dying on the floor. xDD I SEE THE HOODIE. OMG, IT'S PADDED. AND BEING WORN BY A PERSON NAMED MC CHIPMUNK. LOLOLOL.

OI, DUH-LEER. IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN, THIS TALKING ABOUT CHAVS. IF WE PUT A DOLLAR IN A JAR FOR EVERY CHAV-RELATED CONVERSATION, WE'D TOTES HAVE ENOUGH FOR A PADDED BURBERRY HOODIE RIGHT NOW.

[lemniciate]

Writing aaaaaangst :( (um I don't care if there isn't likely to have been an Arthur or Eames in Alexandria, I'D READ THAT ANYWAY AND LIKE IT)

i need to get your post out soon too! hopefully it'll catch you before you leave

[hesselives]

(omg, it's 6 AM, why am i not asleep.)

ahahaha, the realm of A/E is getting so ridic. and you may live to sincerely regret that statement. <3 BUT WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF ARTHUR/COBB IN ALEXANDRIA. GETTING IT ON...IN THE LIBRARY.

go go, Royal Mail! *watches engine sputter*

btw: that icon is the best ever. if i ever attempt to go through the hell that is the wedding ceremony, it will inevitably end up just like that.

[lemniciate]

(at least it's vacation time!)

YOU ARE TALKING TO THE PERSON WHO SOBS AT THE THOUGHT OF NO ONE GIVING HER OTP ANY LOVE. A/C in Alexandria GETTING IT ON IN AMONGST THE BOOKS will induce a lot of happy flailing JSYK. you can't see them, but my pom poms are out and being waved right now

ahahaha can you imagine a non-stressful wedding? idek idek

[hesselives]

lol, i see your pom poms! (with the power of imaginaaation.) AND YOUR OTP PAIN. I SEE THAT, TOO. I WISH I WERE A PORN-FU MASTER, I REALLY DO. <3 <3 IF ANYTHING, ALL I'D COME UP WITH IS ARTHUR AND COBB SIGHING AT EACH OTHER WITH MOONY-EYES THROUGH THE BOOKSHELVES.

Arthur: *takes deep breath* "Cobb, I-"
Cobb: *wide-eyed* "Yes, Arthur?"
Arthur: "I- I want..."
Cobb: "Anything you need, you just have to ask."
Arthur: "...to know if I should alphabetize this shelf." *winces*
Cobb: "Yes, you should probably do that." *despairs on the inside*

THAT IS PRETTY MUCH HOW IT WOULD GO. /O\

no, really, i'm going to bed now. right...now.

[queenofinfinite]

unfortunately now i can channel nothing but browning. the e/a dynamic has... gone somewhere under the sofa to tide the browning explosion of Machiavellian plots out. IDEK what i am doing. apparently corporate bad-assery seems to be the in thing right now with my brain.

oh man. jet lag sucks. jia you! :sends good vibes:

i have no idea what alexandria in the 4th century would have looked like! still LOL. I WOULD READ IT.

[hesselives]

CORPORATE BADASSERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE THING. :DDD

xie xie! yay, good viiibes~

you should watch Agora! so good. HOWEVER, I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE THAT AU. REALLY. I REALLY SHOULDN'T. :O

[queenofinfinite]

googled it! sounds interesting, i'll torrent it. :D

... ... :puppy eyes: pretty please?

[hesselives]

torrent away! it is so worth it, i promise you. \O/

ahaha, it seems to have turned into an Arthur/Cobb historical romance crack-play upthread.... xDD

[hesselives]

SO MYSTERIOUS, EVEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. \O/

will it really. *telescopes your journal from afar* AND SEE ABOVE ON HOW YOU'VE INCEPTED JEANNE. JEANNE, COME BACK, OMG. xD
