Dare I Say: Rimmer And Lister Coded?!

dare I say: rimmer and lister coded?!

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

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.

in order to convince my friends to watch red dwarf, i cranked out a brief summary of every single episode but i tried to make them all sound as stupid as possible to draw interest :) if yk, yk!

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

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
