t&b s2 spoilers: just some thoughts about our amazing golden boy ryan

I think Ryan is such a neat little dude because he’s absolutely a red herring—based on his introduction in The Rising, we think he is going to be a toxic jerk whose actions are solely dictated by his ego and who will get some sort of comeuppance from our main cast.

Instead, Ryan is loud and full of himself but in a really charming way, he’s shown to have a really good sense of his ability (including its limitations) and uses it strategically in his particular environment (I’m thinking here about The Rising where he uses his gravity field to pull a collapsing building towards objects that can act as supports, etc.). 

He’s very personable and emotionally attuned to others despite being a straightforward talker (e.g. he quickly picks up on Barnaby’s complicated feelings towards Kotetsu, and never tries to pull the two apart even when he’s Barnaby’s partner, outside of the occasional teasing). And in Season 2, we’ve seen how close he’s gotten to the other heroes (e.g. defending Barnaby from Subaru’s caustic questions because he knows Barnaby’s been through a lot) and how he’s open to reevaluating his own perspectives of others when he messes up (specifically with Karina). 

On the last point, I like how he, like the other main male heroes in the show, isn’t weirdly patronizing or rude (or, god forbid, perverted for misogynistic fanservice) towards the main female heroes. When he is acting weird about the idea of Karina partnering up with Kotetsu, it’s shown to be the result of a traumatic experience that he himself hasn’t properly processed with the support of those he can trust, rather than some ingrained trait of toxic masculinity. And Karina directly calls him out on the biases he does have towards “protecting” her, which is like, fantastic? Their partnership is equal, and when push comes to shove with our main villains this arc he doesn’t question Karina’s abilities and uses his gravity field to support her. He doesn’t “hog the spotlight” because he believes in his team. He’s the one who apologizes for treating Karina like a newbie who needs protecting, after he sees how independent she is, how much trust she has from her family, and how much she’s sacrificed from her own life in order to pursue what she wants. And I know we’re meme-ing the moment where he calls himself a feminist, but it’s clear that Ryan genuinely respects Karina, and by the end he really becomes the mischievous older brother figure that I think he fits perfectly. 

Anyways Ryan is such a refreshing spin on a design that screams “asshole” but in reality is “big puppy who is just The Best Boi.”

love them so much

«Я безумно устал ото дня,

Расплескавшего наземь белила.

Я устал, пощадите меня

От базаров и уличной пыли,

От промозглой личины утра,

От глухой бесприютности ночи,

От боязни падения; впрочем,

Если я не разбился вчера,

Завтра чья-нибудь лошадь растопчет.»

On Arthur's personality and characterisation

So, someone on my dash wondered why the arsehole!Arthur characterisation is so prevalent in Inception fanfic, when they thought Arthur seemed quite even-tempered throughout the movie (he was patient with Ariadne, he said Mal was “lovely” etc.).

And I nodded thoughtfully, wrote up a reply, hit re-blog, then walked off to make some tea. But when I came back, tumblr had frozen. But the post was still open. ‘Goddamn it,’ I thought. ‘I spent quite a bit of time thinking on this trope and writing about it, so I will bloody well see that it’s posted.’ So here it is.

–

Arthur is definitely even-tempered. He’s the point man - the details man, the reliable one.

As the point man, he’s probably the one who has to deal with the most people. He may not necessarily deal with the client the most - that seems to be the extractor - or deal with people for the longest periods of time, but, as point man, he needs to know everything that’s going on. To do that, he needs to stay in constant communication with people. He needs to have good people skills.

And we see that - he’s patient when teaching Ariadne; he’s professional and courteous with Saito; he compliments people when they do well (and I do believe he was being genuine with his “Eames, I’m impressed,” even though Eames slapped it back down with a smirk); he tries to calm Cobb down, and he doesn’t get defensive at all when Cobb tears him a new one for not discovering Fischer’s militarisation.

However, as point man, Arthur also has to be exacting. He has high standards because it’s his job to make sure things go smoothly for his team. And, as such, he’ll brook no excuses if people fuck up. He calls Nash an arsehole (all right, asshole) for fucking up the carpet. He pokes holes in everyone’s ideas because this inception job needs to be watertight to be successful. And he gets the shits with Eames because Eames plays around during the planning stages.

In my opinion (stressing that it’s only my opinion, doesn’t have to be everyone else’s), that’s all it is. Eames is being playful, teasing (tipping Arthur’s chair, laughing at him when he’s getting the kick whilst Somnacin testing) and Arthur wants people to be serious at this stage in planning. It doesn’t mean he never has sense of humour. I think it’s quite in-character if he jokes back with Eames (“And I will lead them on a merry chase,” and “Go to sleep, Mr. Eames”, anyone?).

He just won’t do it at that point in the job. Maybe even just that point in that particular job (there were, after all, quite high stakes).

I also think it’d still be in-character for Arthur to have a dickish sense of humour (and maybe that’s just because that’s how I like to write him, because I like writing characters with dickish senses of humour ;D).

But Arthur’s got good people skills, like we established before. So he’ll only express that dickish sort of humour if the person he’s joking with is comfortable with it. If Eames was upset by Arthur snapping at him, or acting like a sarcastic motherfucker, I think Arthur would tone it down, or simply not do it.

Except Eames isn’t upset by it. He pushes back. He pushes Arthur’s buttons just as hard.

So Arthur smirks, or laughs outright, and devotes thirty minutes each day to coming up with new ways to insult Eames’ attire, secure in the knowledge that Eames is spending thirty minutes thinking up new ways to call him an anal-retentive bastard.

(Okay, that last bit is just my head canon)
