NOTE: This is not the giant Arthur meta I’ve been talking about. That’s still in the works. But an anon requested that I discuss the caregiver aspect of Arthur’s characterisation a little more (for greater context, see this gif set), so I shall.

Inception is an interesting fandom to be in. At its heart, it’s a fandom of possibility. The PASIV creates endless opportunities for AUs. With the exception of Cobb, no character has an explicitly outlined origin story, so fans get to run amok with head canons (and even Cobb doesn’t have that much back story). And the broad characterisations, with their heavy reliance on archetypes, give us a myriad of character interpretations.
But when it comes to Arthur (Arthur, Arthur, Arthur, my love), these interpretations tend to… uh… cluster. ‘Cold’, ‘impassive’, ‘severe’ and ‘condescending’ are descriptors that come to mind. And, to be fair, Arthur certainly exhibits some of these traits – severity, in particular. But it could be argued – and I have argued – that these aren’t his prevailing traits. However, this meta is not about that. This bit of meta is all about Arthur in the context of Jung’s Caregiver archetype.

by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza
it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child
if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.
once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit
once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out
it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.

day 03 : post canon headcanons @inception30daychallenge
cobb overdoses on somnacin two years into retirement. the kids grow up hating their dad, missing their mom and never learning what dreamshare is.
ariadne tries to contact the team. no one picks it up. she joins faculty, a mediocre lecturer, lacking her promising spark. she passes away after a eighty five years of utterly boring, peaceful life.
yusuf accidentally gets shot by cobol three months after inception when he gets mixed up in a chase across his shop. he doesn’t get a funeral.
robert drops everything on a whim and goes backpacking across the globe. last anyone heard of him was from tokyo. he was barely thirty nine.
saito goes crazy. he spends the final years of his late sixties in an asylum wishing he could enjoy the immense wealth he paid a fortune and his life for.
arthur and eames... well arthur and eames continue to live in the hearts of millions, rekindling hope, promise of love and reconciliation. Forever.
