You Say That Like It's Gonna Stop Me.

You say that like it's gonna stop me.

a much appreciated fresh spin on the classic "old enough to be your father" trope, from (who else but) daddy Twelve

I ... I don't know what this says about me honestly.

i am a firm believer that ocs are a reflection of the self in the way that every character you create has to hold some piece of you to really feel alive. sometimes this is why all your ocs have certain traits, sometimes this is why you can track your various issues and traumas all the way from middleschool to now based on what your ocs are like. this is a feature not a bug

Reblogging to say, this man. This man right here. This is the man that I immediately thought of when I heard that line.

Sitting outside my daughters ballet lesson, and this woman just said, "it's better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave." And honestly I felt that right down to my fucking toes.

So ... what I'm hearing is he really needs someone to hold him while he sleeps.

Thinking about how Rimmer never looks particularly comfortable when lying in his bunk. He never looks like he relaxes all that much. I'm guessing that it's an issue formed from the terrible bullying he suffered from his brothers and at the boarding schools...

(also because Lister is a terrible snorer according to the books. In the novels, it is mentioned that Rimmer was beaten for little reason at school, including snoring.)

Anyway, it doesn't surprise me that Rimmer includes naps on his timetables...like yeah, between the anxiety and Lister's snoring, you're going to need to meet your sleep debt via naps.

Oh, that said I feel the possible sleep issues could also be due to his neurodiversity - whether it's the sensory issues or his mind not being able to quieten down.

I don't have a problem what are you talking about I can stop anytime I want.
