How do you think Arthur and Eames were when they first met each other? How did they interact? They disliked each other instantly or did the animosity come later? It took a long time for them to learn to appreciate each other? Did they become friends before falling into romance? Or the attraction was too much?

(Basically, what trope, if any, do you think they most likely embody?)

hello love! I’m gonna use this as a chance to rant about my own personal favourite headcanon about how they were, so double thank you for this :DD

I think they met on a job, both newbies in their respective fields (or eames starting out as an extractor ~an upgrade from theif status~and finding his true calling in forgery) with their worst qualities as their most prominent. arthur being hyper focused in the task at hand and forgetting everything else and eames getting progressively prickly as the job progresses. so I feel they both hated each other, cause they were both very stubborn individuals with clashing personalities. but as the time inevitably went on and the rough edges smoothed out in to professionalism, they both started begrudgingly respecting each other.. and then they fucked. multiple times. mostly drunk. friends with benefits but sth more waiting to happen.

I feel like during that time, one of them started/or tried to start to date someone (let’s be honest, it’s arthur) , which led both of them to realise their respective feelings for each other; oh god I can’t be anyone’s but his” and “oh god he can’t be anyone but mine”. and at the tail end of a blotched job (the very first inception job, which eames regrets and arthur doesn’t talk about anymore) they ran off together and finally, finally confronted and confessed their feelings and, on a whim, got married.

and obviously got divorced/annulled when the shit hit the cobbs and fucked off to opposite corners of the world. and obviously got back together when shit hit the ficshers. and stayed together hopefully. and forever.

«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.»

a mask changes everything. you can have the most cringefail guy ever and people will listen to them when their face is covered by a cool enough mask

Picture this, you're stressed out because Covid and climate change finds you out of a job and now you can't pay for dental work so as you listen to the hold music to the dental clinic to cancel your wisdom teeth surgery you log into tumblr to calm your nerves only to be greeted by a Destiel meme informing you that the word flashing is banned and you realise fellow tumblr users can't use a warning for post that could trigger your epilepsy. Imagine this, you're now afraid and there's nothing you can do, no tag to filter out, no warning to safe you.

Also, she’s a gentoo penguin. The cuties.

Last night I found my doc detailing various parallels between Achilles/Patroclus and Theseus/Asterius! I thought I would post the information from it here cuz it’s fun to talk about. Even though it’s been awhile since it came out, I guess there’s a general warning for spoilers if you’ve not finished the game yet!

The Obvious Similarities:

The distinct combination of emotional self-loathing blonde and their far more calm and rational brunette partner… Achilles and Theseus both fall into the category of “impulsive risk taker” as well, though Achilles has become somewhat calmer in his death (at least when around Zagreus).

Matching outfits. Pat and Achilles have a tragic reason for their clothing and armor to be mostly the same. Theseus and Asterius are just gay, on the other hand.

The rational calm dark haired ones both died in fairly tragic ways, though Pat’s death was at least honorable. Asterius down in the labyrinth absolutely miserable.

(A fun fact: Theseus tends to refer to him and Asterius’ past fight as if the two of them had always been on equal terms and had always been friends. The only time he doesn’t do this as far as I know is when presented with the yarn of Ariadne.)
