every good sibling incest pairing needs a third wheel sibling in the background that neither of them give a shit about to a comical degree

inception is a decent movie but there's so much horror tragedy potential written into its premise and the implications of its worldbuilding and being able to see that and do nothing about it makes me feel deranged
dream technology was developed by the military "so soldiers could practice shooting, stabbing and strangling each other". the only way to escape a dream before it ends is by killing yourself or convincing someone to kill you. you can live entire lifetimes in a dream, only to wake up to the disorientation of realising that only hours have passed in the waking world. prolonged exposure to dream-sharing tech carries the high risk of inducing psychosis to the point that you can no longer tell the difference between dreams and reality. you can carry a "totem" that behaves differently in a dream to counter this, but if anyone else gets their hands on it and figures out how it works, it's game over. dreaming is so addictive that some people sacrifice their waking lives to keep dreaming for longer. people can be hired to break into your mind and take anything they want from it, down to your most intimate parts, and sell them for profit. if that's not paranoia-inducing enough, entering someone else's mind carries the risk of being hunted down and torn to pieces by manifestations of their own psyche in a subconscious act of self-defence that cannot be controlled, because what you are doing is invasive and violent. the premise of the film rests on a superrich man hiring a group of people to fundamentally alter a man's identity because inheriting his father's corporation has the potential to make him a BUSINESS COMPETITOR. the leader of said heist team is so haunted by the suicide of his wife that he (unintentionally) caused by violating her mind to the point of madness that he locks the rest of them into a labyrinth of his own guilt, stalked by the minotaur her vengeful ghost. oh, and on the right cocktail of drugs, you can't wake up from a nightmare, and will instead end up in pure unconstructed unreality, surrounded only by decaying structures built by those who inhabited it before you, whose intentions and regrets might still haunt the landscape like a malevolent physical presence.
and you still have to go to work in the morning!
“Matthias,” she said, running her fingers through the close crop of his hair. It hurt. The world hurt. Touching him hurt, but she still did it. She might not ever get to again. “I am not sorry.”
He took her hand and kissed her knuckles gently. She winced, but when he tried to pull away, she clutched him tighter.
“Stay,” she panted. Tears leaked from her eyes. “Stay till the end.”
“And after,” he said. “And always.”
“I want to feel safe again. I want to go home to Ravka.”
“Then I’ll take you there. We’ll set fire to raisins or whatever you heathens do for fun.”
“Zealot,” she said weakly.
“Witch.”
“Barbarian.”
“Nina,” he whispered, “little red bird. Don’t go.”

Honey, were this minimally realistic story, that ship would've sailed, sank and rotted to nothing.
Hi, I'm back! Yeah, I'm a traitor, who abandoned her country for an enemy, so what?! You won't guess who's here with me!
They'd both end up dead before Nina could say "deserter".

This is an unpopular opinion but am I the only one who doesn't think the Darkling and Alina are "lovers to enemies"? They share two explicitly romantic scenes (the kiss by the lake and the moment in the Darklings quarters at the night of the ball) before Alina finds out the Darklings secret? There is undeniable attraction, but to me their relationship hadn't had the time to progress enough for this betrayal to be classified as done by a lover?
And obviously you can love someone without it being dependent on physical touch, but the Darkling literally doesn't trust Alina in the first book whatsoever ( which makes sense), and all the conversations prior to the reveal are filled with very stubble hints, and very little plain honesty which. Again doesn't scream "lovers".

Matthias will get a pass on this one. He just rejected all he knew, he might lack the awareness to understand he's willing to doom Nina to much worse fate.
SINS?!
I beg you pardon WHAT?!
Alright, this is Matthias talking- one of them for quite a while-, but this kind of proclamations sound differently through lenses of the author's opinions.
There should be a special kind of medal given away in heaven for killing Nazis to protect others.
"I need you to live, so I can attempt to be a decent person."
Ew...
And if she didn't, you'd slide back to murdering innocents?
Again- Matthias gets a pass due to his circumstances, AND because he re-phrases in a next sentence.
