So I was casually watching Ouroboros hopeing to screenshot a particular Lister Look tm and wow uhh Rimmer. Sure is absolutely delighted to find out Lister and Kochanski broke up in the flashback. Wonder why that might be.
I love Book Lister. Like “It’s French you doink?” Needing to talk to Cat about his sexual politics? Becoming king of the cockroaches? Coming up with the perfect plan to go into stasis without hurting anyone or also getting jail time so he could get home faster? His grand fantasy to be in his favorite movie and married with two kids and live a simple life that stills lets him help his community? What an icon.
My brain: hey remember how Lister wasn’t able to justify his own existence to himself? Remember how you’d probably be in the same boat if that were you?
I’m at the “marooned” part of the better than life novel and first of all second of all Lister knowing about the etymological roots of “mayday” and just telling Rimmer “It’s French you doink” is indescribably funny to me
Adding to my ever growing list of “Things I would like to see in series 13/wish I had seen in previous seasons” is a “turn left” style episode where the Big Bad of the moment decides to go back in time and prevent Lister from signing up for Red Dwarf and dealing with the consequences of that
Stasis leak: Five years from now Lister and Kochanski will be married and also Rimmer will have a mustache!
Me, who knows damn well Grant Naylor didn’t think they’d get nearly as many seasons as they did and thus had no qualms throwing out whatever bullshit predictions for the future they wanted: they sure fuckin won’t buddy
Love is a wonderful emotion, but it isn’t a cure for mental illness. In this part, Rimmer does what he does best, which is falling into an anxious spiral of rejection and catastrophising
This is really good, I love Rimmer centric stuff! I’ve never seen a Red Dwarf fancomic before and it’s such a cool idea. I hope you can get it all done in time for the remixing.
This comic isn’t suitable for minors. I’m keeping everything within Tumblr Approved! levels of suggestiveness, but I’ll be very uncomfortable if any kiddywinks went and looked at this.
