Day 26: If each character was a snack food, what snack would they be?
Cobb: Muddy buddies/puppy chow. I have a lot of good memories of making these with my family. They're easy enough that you can whip up a batch quickly with/for kids. (or if you're also the dad friend of the group)
Arthur: These things. You can't eat just one. Befote you know it you've shoved all 30 into your mouth in one sitting. You still feel good about yourself though, because they're just so tasty.
Ariadne: Angel food cake. Toeing the line between 'snack' and 'dessert' but I, for one, am completely incorrigible and will eat it any time so I think it counts. Light and fluffy and goes great with pretty much any topping. Especially homemade whipped cream. Mm.
Eames: Pigs in a blanket. Easy to make, but absolutely essential. When I walk in to any social gathering and see these, it's going to be a good time no matter what. My team lost the Super Bowl? Well, I know nothing about sports and I've eaten like a dozen pigs in a blanket so it's still a pretty good day for me.
Yusuf: Cold rotisserie chicken straight out of the fridge at 2 in the morning. A snack for when you're up because you're doing something too important for things like sleep or cooking so you're just grabbing whatever food you have in the house.
Saito: Freeze dried mango slices. They're expensive as all get-out, but they're probably one of my favorite snacks. Well worth the price, even if I feel bad about spending so much money on them afterwards.

Day 05: Who had the most interesting job before joining dreamshare?
Yusuf! Expertise with chemistry and a disregard for the law make for some very interesting job opportunities. I think he'd be too cautious to get involved in making drugs - and also quite honestly it's beneath him.
He can make concoctions to accelerate brain function, can you imagine how useful that would be, and how much people would be willing to pay for it? Plus, he could make some really gnarly poisons with how skilled he is. I'd imagine he's worked with the widest array of people of any of them.

Day 06: A headcanon about the dreamshare team.
If they're all hanging out in the same place for whatever reason, they'll sometimes play a game or two.
Saito is scarily good at Monopoly and Risk because he plays them exactly the same way he runs his business in real life. A game with him never lasts more than 45 minutes.
All of them cheat at card games. Cobb doesn't tend to cheat, and Arthur will play fair for Cobb's sake, but they both have to give up on their morals if they want to stand any chance of not losing all the time. Somehow, Ariadne always wins Uno. No one's quite sure how she does it.
Eames takes Cluedo far too seriously. You can tell exactly how far along they are in the game by how frantically he's pacing and gesturing.
Yusuf insists on playing Scrabble, and it turns out that it's just because he really enjoys humiliating everyone else at Scrabble.
They tried to play Sternhalma/Chinese Checkers once. It ended in a stalemate so bad that they never tried again.

Day 12: What is each character like when they get drunk?
Saito is really good at hiding how drunk he is, up to a point. After that, he'll still try to act normal, but it's hard to pretend like you're ok when you're slurring your words so badly no one else can understand you.
Cobb definitely cries a lot. At first, it's super depressing, but as he gets better (and goes to therapy) it becomes more of "I love you guys so much 🥺🥺🥺😭" and weepy hugs.
Eames will start buying them all drinks or food. It's nice at first but they quickly learn they have to take his wallet when he starts drinking so he doesn't end up spending hundreds of dollars on bar food.
Ariadne is the classic giggly drunk. She spends most of her time talking to whoever will listen about literally anything. It takes a lot longer for her to get drunk than anyone else - not because she holds alcohol better but just because she hardly stops talking long enough to take a drink once she's started.
Yusuf starts to open up a lot more. He's not as emotional as Cobb or as talkative as Ariadne, but he's more chill. If they need a designated driver, he volunteers, but usually Saito pays people to drive them.
Arthur just gets really sleepy and quiet. He admires Saito's ability to power through alcohol, but he just can't do it. By the end of the night he WILL fall asleep face down on the bar or on someone's shoulder.

Day 15: Your favourite romantic pairing.
I am quite firmly of the opinion that they would all be together. There's more than enough tension there to go around, and after everything that went down, I think they all deserve as much love as they can get. The only issue I can think of with this is I don't know if there are many beds big enough for six people, but two of them are architects and one of them can pay to have things custom-made so I think they'll figure it out.
If I have to choose just one, it'd be Saito and Cobb. The parallels between his relationship with Mal and his relationship with Saito make me swoon every time. 😍

Day 30: A self-rec! (anything from art to a funny Tumblr post you made!)
I'm really new to the fandom so all I have is some (read: as many as I'm allowed to put) incorrect Inception quotes from the incorrect quotes generator.

Day 20: A headcanon about your favourite pairing.
They all travel for business often, so they keep a handful of safehouses/apartments in major areas. These get covered wall-to-wall in little post-it notes they leave each other.
Highlights include:
Cobb,
I saw some interesting buildings downtown. Left you sketches of my favorites. You should totally check them out!
- Ariadne
___
Tried to catch the spider that was in the corner. It escaped and now I can't find it. If I don't make it, know I love you. God save us all.
Eames
___
The bowl outside is because I saw a stray dog. There is a bag of dog food in the cupboard. If you don't feed him you are a bad person
Yusuf

Arthur & Saito,
There's an art museum in this town. Left you the flyer. You two should check it out.
Cobb

Cobb,
Thanks for the recommendation. We had a great time. Got souvenirs for everyone, they're in the box.
Love,
Arthur
Saito
You're a child. An infant. Your mocking is thus infantile. He's not my boyfriend. This man is more to me than you can dream. He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold. And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia. His heart overflows with a kindness of which this world is not worth of. I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend. He's all and he's more.
