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.

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

watching red dwarf with my mother and thinking about the fact that she will never know the hours i spend on the internet yapping about how lister and rimmer are gay and in love :3 she will never understand me and my entire tumblr acct, copious amounts of fanfiction i've written, and crazy intense brainrot about how in love they are :3 i am far too silly :3

hello red dwarf community last night i had a dream about a non-existent edit where it was clips from rimmerworld put to the song 'i will wait for you' by connie francis and my soul cried a little

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

I'm so normal about this show that I'm totally not thinking about the fact that during season 3 of Red Dwarf Lister has what seems to be a smegging ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW POSTER HUNG UP ON HIS BUNK??? THE QUEER CULT CLASSIC??? LISTER I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
