OHHH YEAHHH RED DWARF TEXTPOST TIME PART 2 :D

I'm unsure if I've got any fellow Jeeves & Wooster fans lurking amongst my followers, but if y'all do exist, enjoy my first ever fic for the fandom!

(In my usual fashion, it's shameless fluff.)

HELLO FELLOW RED DWARF & THEATER NERD!!! I HAVE ADDITIONS TO YOUR ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL LIST:

You’re the Top from Anything Goes. It gives season 7 Lister and Kochanski hyping each other up. I FEED on their friendship dynamic because they’re both so good for one another. They need that healthy balance of Kochanski being a productive icon and Lister being... Lister!

Best Worst Mistake from If/Then. Need I say it? Rimster 100%.

Maybe This Time from Cabaret. This is very much Rimmer lamenting about how he’s never had anything good. On how no one ever loved him because he was never good enough and how much that hurt him, but how deep down, he still has a shred of hope that maybe someday, he’ll finally win at something.

King Herod’s Song from Jesus Christ Superstar. This one may be a bit of a random take, but hear me out: season 1 Cat. The absolute disappointment of finding out your God is just some guy. Some standard guy that can't even do cool tricks.

I’m Calm from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. ARNOLD RIMMER CODED ASF. This man being like ‘oh yeah I’m fine I’m chill’ and then screaming and crying two seconds later. Rimmer and Hysterium have the same level of mental stability fr fr (although ik Rimmer is worse off).

Put on a Happy Face from Bye Bye Birdie. Lister singing this to Rimmer to be absolutely insufferable because he wants Rimmer to stop being such a miserable bastard. Then Lister forces him to dance and Rimmer starts smiling and Lister is like 'HA I GOT YOU!'

Nothing from A Chorus Line. This is another stretch one but the whole energy of this song really screams Kryten to me. I think he'd appreciate the idea of trying to feel something that everyone else can only to find that he can't in fact. He'd sing this under the circumstances of trying to learn basic feelings back when he was first found and not being able to find anything in himself.

Something Good from the Sound Of Music. Rimster if ever I did see it! Rimmer singing this while thinking about how despite the fact that his whole life has been a series of mistakes and failures, Lister has been the one good thing in his life. Lister singing back to Rimmer about how even though he's lost everything else, he still has Rimmer. They're still there, loving each other, despite everything that has happened.

But Not for Me from An American in Paris. OHHHH WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS SO SEASON 8 NANO-RIMMER AND KOCHANSKI DUET!!! Nano-Rimmer singing as Adam about how he's not the right Rimmer for the Lister in this universe because this Lister is still in love with the Rimmer that went off as Ace. Meanwhile, Kochanski as Milo sings for her Dave who's off in the other universe while she's stuck here, doomed to go on without him. They're both stuck with the knowledge that there are others getting happy endings out there, but neither of them will ever get the ending that they wanted.

If You Were Gay from Avenue Q. Rimster but in their canon-typical stupid fashion. Lister being like 'omg hahaha what if you were gay?' and Rimmer taking it insanely personal and being like 'WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT I AM NOT GAY I WILL NEVER BE GAY WHAT EVEN IS GAY HAHAHHA...' while knowing full well he is totally gay.

AAAA THIS WAS SO FUN TO YAP ABOUT :3 THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT OG POST BECAUSE I HAD A GRAND TIME ADDING ON!!!

Been imagining the Red Dwarf crew being in songs from musicals.

Like for example:

Waving Through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen. Basically sums Rimmer’s loneliness quiet nicely and how ignored he has been his entire life. How there’s a window between him and the rest of the crew and/or the rest of the world. And it gets worse when he becomes a hologram because there’s a barrier between the dead and the living.

There Right There from Legally Blonde is wild ride. As I imagine the Cat, Kryten, Holly and Kochanski all debating whether Rimmer is either Gay or European whilst Lister is standing in the corner waiting for his big dramatic solo at the end.

Your Fault from Into The Woods. The whole Red Dwarf crew just pointing fingers at each other for some absurd reason. Lister as Jack. Rimmer as the Baker. Cat as Little Red Riding Hood. Kryten as Cinderella. Either Kochanski or Holly as the Witch.

Tears to Shed from The Corpse Bride. Rimmer just brooding jealousy and hurt as he feels he can’t compare to an alive Kochanski for Lister. Set between series 8 and BTE. I would like Female Holly and Kryten are consoling him because they’re all electronic life forms. The Cat wouldn’t be involved since he wouldn’t care.

Anything You Can Do from Annie Get Your Gun. Just a whole funny singsong argument of Rimmer and Lister trying to one up each other. As they always do of course.

I have plenty more examples cus I find it fun trying to fit the Red Dwarf crew in any musical song.

OHHH YEAHHH RED DWARF TEXTPOST TIME :D

this came to me in a vision

hi! i have a guestion :)

do you have any favourite book covers? i'd like to know what they look like if you have any! or if not (i realize not everyone has thought about it) what are some things that you find generally pleasing in book covers?

for example things like there being multiple points of focus that make a cover a bit more chaotic vs only one vocal point; a comic/stylised look with only few bright colours vs something realistic that includes a lot; what about people in covers vs some scenery from the book or a highlighted important object; do you like a lot of text? like the author and book's name HUGE on the cover and spine.

those are just some things. of course feel free to just not answer. maybe this is a bit much but i really am curious if you have any favourite covers.

sorry for the long ask, thank you, have a restful day and bye bye!

Tysm for this super cool ask! I had to think about it a little bit, but I have a special fondness for the cover-style of Star Trek books :]

Just the simple text for the title with some scenery and characters in the background is just aesthetically pleasing :D in terms of colors, I prefer anything that isn’t so insanely neon it burns my retinas and in terms of text, size is irrelevant to me as long as the font is legible and the color doesn’t blend into the background.

Additionally, I also have a soft spot for the covers on the Warrior Cats books!

Once again, it’s the simple text with background scenery and a few characters, so I guess that’s the vibe I’m rocking with :] again, ty for the cool ask! you’re one of my fav red dwarf posters on tumblr <3

guys i figured i might as well shamelessly plug my red dwarf fics over here on tumblr so...

hello fellow dwarfers, my latest red dwarf fic be upon ye!

Guys, I've figured out what sorts of fictional men I'm attracted to. I made a CHART.

okay 1. YESSS HELLO FELLOW FIC WRITER WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS AND SERVICEEE :D and 2. ty for the respect bro i am so committed to the fanfic grind and it's nice to hear that my works are actually being read!!! :]

@castiels-slinky this goes out to you <3 enjoy the sillies

i have just spent the past week writing a fanfic about the red dwarf boys playing risk and if i EVER see a risk board again, i will flip it. i had to chart out 2 rounds worth of moves and i don't want to go on. anyway: shameless plug for the new fic!

THESE WERE TOO GREAT AND I KNEW I HAD TO TRY SO HERE ARE SOME MORE TO ADD <3

From the website here you can make some memes, or just download shots from every red dwarf episode and stuff XD

You can also do a random roll, which gives you a random pic and a random quote from a red dwarf episode. So I want to share some funny matches with you😭

this seemed fun so here we go! :D

today i made the discovery that i can type up to 45 wpm with only one hand because i've spent so much time devoting one hand to writing red dwarf fanfiction while the other hand holds my can of monster energy :)

how do I explain to my parents who are asking me, “who are you texting?” that I am not texting anyone. I am simply smiling because I am reading Red Dwarf fanfiction. I have priorities.
