Just Cranked Out A Fic Based On This Wonderful Headcanon Which I Fully Subscribe To :)

just cranked out a fic based on this wonderful headcanon which i fully subscribe to :)

This is the first time I actually post something on a fandom, but this headcannon has been bothering me for so long.

Rimmer has stretch marks from the traction machine. Surely forced stretching every morning in childhood is bound to leave a couple of scars. And he covers them up of course because he’s embarrassed by them because it’s a painful reminder of childhood and scared people are gonna make fun of him for them.

But Lister will discover them somehow, maybe before the series when changing in the morning (cus, come on, that bunkroom is so small and there are no changing rooms). Or maybe in Bodyswap when he may ‘accidentally’ or not looks at Rimmer’s thighs, hips and stomach where the stretch marks scarred the flesh. Or maybe some other scenario but the bottom line is Lister confronts Rimmer on them and have some hurt/comfort moment between the two.

Idk, it’s just a little thought but I desperately definitely want to see any fanfic and fanart on it cus honestly it’s driving me smegging nuts that no one thought about this before.

Me telling my friends that I am so normal about Red Dwarf after I wake up and then proceed to check all new Red Dwarf postings on ao3 and tumblr and cry a little bit when there isn't anything new and then start posting new stuff myself to fill the void before I sit down to rewatch Red Dwarf for the 6th time.

Guys if any of you have prompts/ideas for Rimster fanfics that you don’t feel like writing yourself, PLEASE COMMENT THEM OR SEND THEM TO ME. I need inspiration to write some more silly content of them :)

I’ll write pretty much anything that isn’t smut and has a happy ending (bc I’m a wimpy little asexual and I can’t stand sad endings because I need my favs to be happy)

Also let me just say that the Red Dwarf community on here is literally the sweetest! You guys are all fan-smegging-tastic!!! :3

Currently thinking about the fact that during the gap between seasons 2 and 3 of Red Dwarf, Rimmer and Lister move into the officers quarters and yet choose to continue sharing a bunk? We know from Me^2 that they're fully aware that they can go to other rooms, but yet they choose to move all of their stuff all the way across the ship into a new bunkroom TOGETHER. Rimmer my man, my guy, my dude, my buddy, you claim that you find Lister to be disgusting, you say that you find him irritating, you say that you can't stand his snoring, and yet you CHOOSE to continue to share a bunkroom with him? Lister, my mate, my lad, you know that you'd prefer to have the bottom bunk because bottom bunks have more space, and you now have the entire ship to yourself, but yet you choose to continue sleeping on the top bunk just to share a room with Rimmer, the man you claim to be the most neurotic git in the universe? Guys they are so gay and in love. I cannot make this shit up.

Ok I know that Profit and Lace was an off-putting episode and had a lot of weird shit but this exchange at the end of the episode sends me every single time. The whole bit after Quark and Odo hug where everyone else walks in. The way in which the Grand Nagus delivered his line as if he's walking in on Quark and Odo fucking Oo-Moxing it up in the middle of the bar. The way that Odo says "Excuse me." as he runs off, clearly embarrassed as if he's been caught in the middle of the act because god forbid he was caught being nice to Quark and showing the slightest bit of affection. The way Quark just awkwardly stands there and watches him leave. Ferengi episodes my beloved <3

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand
