momebie: (Inception JGL/Tom)

I'm hoping you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head.

A short love letter to the Inception fandom -

No, I love you more! Oh stop it! No really, I can't handle you guys. I love every one of you. I want to take you on massive group dates where we steal French art and buy expensive suits. I love that the movie's been out for a little over a week now and fandom is already going strong. I love that for some reason (which I may have forgotten since I've only seen the movie once) fandom has made Arthur a Francophile and I love that Eames reminds me of Remy LeBeau. I haven't fallen for something this hard since...well, the last time I fell for something this hard, but I promise you it was at least a month ago. Right now I honestly feel like I did when I dropped into bandom. I feel like all I do is pine to see the movie again and write fic in my head that I tragically have no time to write in real life. I love how this fandom gives me an excuse to read up on mind studies and look into philosophers I'd been putting off on the off chance they have something to say that I could work into a fic. I love how I have plot bunnies about talking to your subconscious and they aren't out of place or strange like they would be in some of my other homes. Fandom, I love you for referencing fucking Magritte.

I want to friend you all except I don't know how to without being awkward and stalky. So instead I'll just lurk about in your dark corners. I'll watch over your boys.

(No really, someone come talk to me about this before Em defriends me in real life. I'm so glad [livejournal.com profile] ninepointfivemm has also fallen for it and that she randomly IMs and texts me as the Eames to my Arthur.)




HP MEME Day 3 Favorite female character.

I may surprise some of you by saying Tonks, since you probably know that I'm an ardent supporter of the unicorns who killed her. The thing is, Tonks is an awesome character. She's a girl who can handle herself. She's clumsy and impulsive, but she's also smart and brave and courageous. Tonks is everything I want to be in a woman. And then she fell in love with Remus. Though I hesitate to call it love. Infatuation maybe, which probably isn't fair of me. I promise this doesn't even have to do with me being a puppy shipper. It's because I was such a big fan of Tonks that I hated her after she fell for Remus. She grew weak. She stopped caring about all of the amazing things around her. The life just left her, and that, for someone who had been so full of life, is tragic. But I suppose in the HP universe it's just one tragedy drop in the huge tragedy bucket. That doesn't mean I have to agree with it, though.


I'll fly away.

I'm going to visit Boy for the weekend and not taking my laptop! Send me an e-mail or comment if there's an Inception friending meme or if MCR actually releases music or something. Above all, have a good weekend, guys.

Your answers to this HP meme make me giggle like a little girl.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE YET. I do love that the fandom just sort of exploded, though - very impressive!

Have fun with Boy!

I remain convinced that Tonks was under the influence of a spell or potion or something (JKR made a big deal about Amortentia in that book, with no obvious payoff). Her change in personality was too whiplashy. And I believe Remus knew it, which is why he stuck with her, to protect her as best he could.

There were two Inception friending memes! One at [livejournal.com profile] inceptionfilm (I think) and the other at [livejournal.com profile] inception_kink. They happened right on top of one another, like a day or so ago. But people are still responding to comments!

Oh my god, Tom Hardy.

If MCR releases music I'M KEEPING IT ALL FOR MEEEEEEEEE!

McKay and I are planning to go to Hogwarts, but I wonder if we can work in Inception as well. I really want to see it.

Thank you for articulating ALL OF MY THOUGHTS ON TONKS.

I'm in the middle of a bit of a Remus/Sirius renaissance and I keep remembering how AMAZING Tonks was in book five (and also how I shipped her with Moody) and then how I don't even like to think about her in the later books because I get too depressed/disgusted.

I almost made a post exactly like this. I love the fic that's coming out of it.

I think people are making Arthur a francophile because JGL is a francophile.

RIGHT. I HAVE FINALLY SEEN IT. IT'S AMAZING. IT SO BRILLIANT. IF I WEREN'T SO TIRED I'D GO OFF LOOKING FOR THE FANDOM RIGHT NOW.

YOU SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THOSE THINGS WHICH KILLED MY HOMEGIRL. :(

Inception was a delightful mindfuck. I'm all over Arthur/Eames like white on rice, btw.
