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.

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

@therealsullivan3000 thank you so much! Quick sketch to your spaghetti chapter. 🙂🍝

when the fanfic writing gets so good that you have to whip out a diagram of the spaceship the characters are on so you can make sure you aren't having them move unrealistically

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

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.

A post in honor of all of the weird titles I've given my google docs that I use to write red dwarf fanfiction:
