Red Dwarf Headcanons (w/ A Copius Amount Of Rimster)

Red Dwarf Headcanons (w/ a copius amount of Rimster)

Rimmer once stole Lister's guitar, repaired the missing strings, and tuned it and when Lister found out, he was upset until he tried playing it and realized that it didn't actually sound bad

With the guitar tuned, Rimmer still doesn't want to hear Lister play anything, but then Lister agrees to learn Edelweiss from The Sound of Music and Rimmer decides that he's allowed to play that

Rimmer then forces Lister to play Edelweiss for him whenever he can't sleep and although Lister gets sick of the song, he does it anyway because he knows it makes Rimmer happy

The two eventually move out of their bunkroom and into the Captains Quarters on Lister's suggestion because it has a bigger bed; Rimmer agrees to it because he likes the idea of occupying the room of the highest ranking officer on the ship

Lister can actually cook if he tries hard enough and has a recipe, meanwhile Rimmer cannot cook whatsoever; he attempted once and was henceforth banned from the kitchen

Rimmer is actually very physically affectionate but hates having to initiate it and so Lister learns all of Rimmer's unspoken cues for when he wants a hug or a hand to hold

Lister uses all sorts of ridiculous pet names for Rimmer just to get him worked up

The Cat will sometimes just come into Rimmer and Lister's room, sleep on the foot of their bed, and then if they question it he'll just say that it was the most comfortable spot in the moment

When Lister and Rimmer eventually want to get married, Kryten ends up officiating the wedding after taking an online course to get a license but then ends up objecting during the objections because he's upset that now he'll have one less set of sheets to launder

Rimmer is asexual and didn't realize it until he tried to make moves on Lister and Lister confronted him, asking if he actually wanted sex or if he just thought it was just what people are supposed to do in relationships (Rimmer totally thought it was just relationship protocol)

Rimmer will occasionally take Lister's leather jacket and wear it around because it makes him feel safe and loved

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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

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.
