day 28: what job would ur fave character have if not the job in the movie
OK WELL OBVIOUSLY IM GONNA DO LIKE ALL OF THEM
Eames: i believe in stage actor or painter eames. He would be successful in both career paths if he chooses to take them I think!!! Not like world famous in both but well renowned in the art world and if youre a nerd in that niche youd know who he is.
Arthur: ……….ok he would thrive in an office setting. like corporate ladder bullshit. every fic set in “not dreamshare” puts him as something like a lawyer or an accountant or someone in an architecture firm that doesnt do designing. AND HED BE GOOD AT IT (it = overworking and selling ones soul to captialism)
Ariadne: i mean like. architect. but also maybe… game designer. specifically the environment. creating worlds that can’t exist, shouldn’t exist… would clearly appeal to her!
Yusuf: well. i mean. chemist. pharmacist. I feel like if he had a job that wasnt dreamshare it would just be the same except he never got into somnacin development. I also think he never STARTED w somnacin, like started out in the world of drugs and crime, sure, but he wouldnt have branched out to somnacin until later… in my head dreamshare is something that’s pretty Secret especially during the events of Inception. Like does everyone important vaguely know of it? Yeah it’s the newest top secret army information gathering technique. Do many in the criminal circles vaguely know of it? Yeah especially if youre like. Deep into crime. Academics know if enlisted by militaries. What im saying is if youre connected enough you know what it is, but the average person still thinks sharing dreams is sci fi.
Dom and Mal Cobb: I’m putting them together cuz they would be coworkers: professors at the same university!!! Probably both architects imo
Robert Fischer: I still want him to be rich and an heir to something cuz that’s like his whole character… so maybe this is what he would do after Inception. I feel like he would be happy if he faded into obscurity and found a loving community in a small village somewhere. Maybe he owns a small, local toy store and smiles at all the kids holding hands with their fathers
Saito: THIS ONE IS HARD!!! because saito has all the perfect traits for the job he has i cant imagine him working anywhere else. Definitely not an office drone he would never stay there. I feel like with robert he would be his own boss. Maybe he’d own a cafe or a restaurant. OH HED BE A CHEF. HE WOULD BE A GREAT CELEBRITY CHEF. MICHELIN STARS GALORE. HIS FACE ON RESTAURANT OPENING ARTICLES. IMAGINE HIS SMIRK ON THE COVER OF TIME MAGAZINE!!!
Bonus, Miles: gardener (if he ever retires) despite never doing inception (probably) he’s awfully good at planting the seeds of plot.
