the red dwarf x rocky horror picture show crossover nobody asked for!!!

(ignore all the costume irregularities, i ended up just having fun with it😭 also them wearing the lesbian flag colours was an honest accident but not a bad one in my opinion)

#served #i love kryten especially he looks like he's having the most fun

Been talking about trans Rimmer, but I've perpetually got trans Lister on the brain

#see like to me trans rimmer is an abstract. an idea #trans lister is just fact

[smeg-and-the-red]

I have said it before, but having just come across this photo again, I will ask again:

Craig had a pierced ear. Why did Lister never wear an earring?

#Lister is already never beating the bisexual allegations #giving him an earring would have made him too powerful

Cat Headcanons

Cat can speak to normal house cats (his mother tongue), he's extremely flexible and can do acrobatic feats just like his ancestors can.

Night Vision

kneading instinct

Cat can purr

Stealth and sneakiness - Cats are known for their stealth and ability to move quietly, so Cat could have a knack for sneaking around undetected when the situation calls for it.

Heightened senses - Cat could have heightened senses of hearing and smell, which could help him detect danger or hidden threats before anyone else.

#accepted #i know he said he can't see in the dark in Samsara but i choose to believe he is lying <3

loving this tv set holly travels around in 📺

#i loved this every time it's so funny #wish they had done it with Hattie would have been great

what if the uniform changes to Rimmer's projection are just software updates JMC made that are just now reaching the returning Red Dwarf? like they make minor changes/ improvements to all holographic projections, for weird corporate reasons, and some of them happen to include a new look. it would explain why he changes outfits when he experiences regressions becase for once they're clearly not trying to pretend like the current uniform has always been. i thought it could work like the post pods, though i'm not certan about the logistics, point is the updates arrives late.

i just need some reason for the ever changing uniform so this is it for now. it's because JMC, or whoever they brought their holo equipment, is doing re-designs to everything they can effect, this could mean Rimmer is sporting the trendiest 3 million year old clothes or that they're trying to convey a new brand image with each or they're just A B testing things, which would explain the red/blue puffer jacket and the green/red shiny uniform, but those can also be explained by easness of re-design vs colour change, so who's to say.

#i like this interpretation #i love the idea that the updates are not actually THAT functional and are more cosmetic (apart from the one in Legion obviously) #like when you update your phone and the notice says “bug fixes 😇” and then it completely fucks up your UI and makes it unrecognisable

[smeg-and-the-red]

just realised i never post this drawing that i kept referring to as 'boyband lister' lol

#he's so CUTE #love him <3

Rimmer + Adjusting his 'H'

bonus:

#oh dear :( #seems it was a bit of a nervous habit in the beginning #before he got used to uh being dead #i'd say it was also just chris barrie securing it to his head to stop it falling off lol

[smeg-and-the-red]

this is a Look actually

#stop this outfit is everything to me #he's so me age 14

[smeg-and-the-red]

A family can be a man, a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a humanoid lifeform that evolved from his pet cat, an unstable sanitation mechanoid and a senile ship computer. And I think that's beautiful okay?

#love wins <3

[smeg-and-the-red]

so yeah i just realized that if Lister never told the others that Rimmer didn't actually die then he must seem like he's in serious denial

#oh fucking hell #i completely forgot that the other two thought Rimmer had died #christ alive

[smeg-and-the-red]

#this photo is gold #like apart from how they all look the actual set is hilarious #the console they are leaning on looks to be covered entirely with stickers rather than real buttons and lights #the fuckass triangular no smoking sign in the background #love this show love how silly it is
