What if Saito and Cobb made rice balls??

Anybody remember that one time Ken Watanabe shared homemade onigiri with Leonardo Dicaprio on set during the snowy mountain scenes??

“I’ve shared the onigiri that I make with my fellow cast-mates in the past. When I was doing Inception, I was up on a cold mountain with Leonardo Dicaprio and Cillian Murphy for some time and while we were waiting there, freezing, I said, “I got some rice balls (here in my pocket), you guys want any?.” So I gave them the ones with umeboshi in them and they went, “This is DELICIOUS!” and ate them all up.”

After I read that I OBVIOUSLY wondered WHAT IF Saito and Cobb made rice balls?? Be the change you want to see in the world, my friends. Make ALL of the CRACK.

Art made with Graphite, India Ink, and Photoshop!!  Made For Inception Reverse Bang 2021!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Amanda on the @inceptionreversebang!! It was such a blast, the fic is amazing, very much in character from start to finish. I absolutely adore being immersed in Eames' POV here and how he sees the world. Make sure to read the fic here ❤

Also, click the last image to see it! Tumblr lowers quality. 😎

“pulling pigtails” by redluna

i had the absolute pleasure to work with @redxluna for the @inceptionreversebang !! they have such a way with words that i was in AWE since the first draft. it’s such an honor to have been in their options for the event; this is a concept that i hold very close to my heart and i couldn’t have envisioned a better written story to go with it! ;; 

also... it’s been a while since i’ve drawn human faces, can you tell? HAHA anyways! i’ll keep practicing and improving :) if you like the childhood friends trope and trans characters, go check Red’s fic!! you’ll be in for an amazing treat <3

HIIIIIII, here's my story for the @inceptionreversebang ✨

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

It's about Phillipa as an adult trying to contact her own projection of Mal, since it'd been hunting her natural dreams with nightmares. (There's also background Arthur/Eames! They're the loving uncles who join Phillipa in her adventure, since she tends to lose control of dreams.)

I had lots of fun writing this and it was a pleasure and a HONOR to work with the amazingly talented @mizunoir ❤️ (Here's a link to their art)
