To wake up from that after, after years, after decades… after we’d become old souls thrown back into youth like that… I knew something was wrong with her. She just wouldn’t admit it. Eventually, she told me the truth. She was possessed by an idea, this one, very simple idea, that changed everything. That our world wasn’t real. That she needed to wake up to come back to reality, that, in order to get back home, we had to kill ourselves.

↳ In an interview with ‘Entertainment Weekly’, Christopher Nolan explained that he based roles of the Inception team similar to roles that are used in filmmaking - Cobb is the director, Arthur is the producer, Ariadne is the production designer, Eames is the actor, Saito is the studio, and Fischer is the audience. “In trying to write a team-based creative process, I wrote the one I know,” said Nolan.

Five Shining boys, that is what they are – and so much more.
Never had I planned on them meaning so much to me. I had never intended for Lee Jinki, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Kibum, Choi Minho and Lee Taemin to fill such a large space in my heart. Though, things rarely turn out the way you plan… Do they? I’ve learnt so much from these boys men and they’ve grown to mean so much. They bring smiles to our faces with their cheesy grins, lame jokes, handsome smiles, love for each other and their fandom. In my eyes, they aren’t perfect, but they’re pretty darn close.Lee Jinki has a heart of gold and a smile like no other. Seeing a man as beautiful as him cry… It brings an entire fandom to tears. Our hearts will forever melt at his sincerity and kindness. Lee Jinki, thank you for being strong and a source of hope for so many of us, for keeping your smile and for loving us without even knowing us. You’re an angel; please never stop shining.
Kim Jonghyun is our power voice with puppy eyes. He loves his fans so immensely, and he doesn’t hide his gratitude. His voice is moving, sweet, powerful and he is forever amazing our fandom with his high notes. Kim Jonghyun, please never stop singing or doing the things that make you happy, you’re happiness makes this world a better place.
Kim Kibum, the so-called mother of Shinee. He has taught us it is okay to be ourselves, to be a little outrageous, have an opinion, wear whatever it is we want and feel comfortable in our own skin. The world is the stage and we are the performers. Kim Kibum, thank you for being unique and outrageous, thank you for not caring about what others think, thank you for being different, but most of all, thank you for making us feel proud of who we are.
Choi Minho, the flame in our hearts. There is so much more to him than what we see on the surface. He has a kind, compassionate heart and is full of courage and charisma. Without asking for anything in return, he cares for his friends and goes to great lengths to see them smile. His constant need to win shows persistence and dedication, and he shows this dedication towards his fans, Shinee and to everything else he has in life. Choi Minho, thank you for teaching us to be courageous and care for our friends, even if we do not always show it, and thank you for your dedication, we know you work hard.
Lee Taemin, the boy that became a man. Taemin was the little boy with a cute smile and killer moves. He stole our hearts from the first glance and has continued to melt us just that little bit more with every year he grows. Lee Taemin, thank you for showing us that even though we might not be the best now, with practice we have the ability to get pretty close. Never stop dancing Taemin; you’re a force to be reckoned with and we can’t wait to see you grow even more.
Lee Jinki, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Kibum, Choi Minho and Lee Taemin, thank you. Thank you for these five years of happiness, sadness and everything in between. You have given us memories to cherish for a lifetime and we know there are many more to come. Continue striving and moving forward, we as fandom believe in you and will continue to support you for as long as we can. Happy five year anniversary!
Keep shining, boys, because you’re the brightest stars in the sky.

(We’re taking a calculus final. The TA is a well-known Lord of the Rings fan, and we’ve had running LotR jokes all semester.)
TA: “Okay, guys, everyone look at me. We’ve been over the rules, but just in case: no notes, pencil your answers in on the scantron sheet, and graphing calculators only – no more ‘can I just used my cell phone’ nonsense.”
Student: “[TA's name], my calculator batteries just died! What should I do?”
TA: “Here, I’ve got a big box of spares.”
Student: *struggling* “I can’t get this packaging open…”
Student 2: “Here, I’ve got a pocket knife.”
TA: “And I’ve got a pair of scissors if you need them.”
Student 3: *from the back of the room* “OR MY AXE!”
(Everyone starts laughing.)
TA: “The only axes allowed on the exam are in the graph section.”
(Everyone groans.)
TA: “Oh, come on, you’re in a math class. Deal with the math jokes.”
(The professor enters with a stack of exams. With him are two exam proctors.)
Professor: “Tolkien jokes already, [TA's name]?”
TA: “Hey, I didn’t start it.”
(The professor starts handing stacks of exams to the TA and proctors.)
Professor: “But I’m about to finish it. [TA], take these exams down the left flank. [Proctor 1], follow the desks down the center. [Proctor 2], take your exams right, along the wall.”
(At this point, many of the students have realized where this is going: Theoden’s lines from ‘Return of the King.’)
Professor: “Forth, and fear no problems! Solve! Solve, students of calculus! Points shall be taken, scores shall be splintered! A pencil day! A red-ink day! Until three thirty!”
(The professor pulls out a pencil, holding it out like a sword, and runs down the first row holding it out. Students hold up their pencils, hitting his as he passes.)
Professor: “Solve now! Solve now! Solve to good grades and the class ending! MAAATH!”
Entire Class: “MAAATH!”
Professor: “MAAAAATH!”
Entire Class: “MAAAAAATH!”
Professor: “Forth, exam-takers!”
(The entire class rises to their feet and gives him a standing ovation. A week later, we get an email from the professor.)
Professor: *at the end of the email* “PS: I appreciate all of you who wrote in their evaluations that I was the one professor to rule them all, but the best one yet was the student who called me ‘Mathrandir.’”
